CCTV News: In Beijing, Chen Shuting brings a woman to her door.

Seeing this, Elder Zhong put the card back on and said apologetically:

"But you two came all this way to help me. If I don't show my appreciation, I'll feel bad. So please give me something, at least that will put my mind at ease."

"If you keep saying that, we're leaving and we won't help you anymore."

However, Zhou Bingliang and his group did not want the money, so when they saw Old Zhong's expression, they showed great impatience and prepared to leave.

Upon seeing this, Elder Zhong panicked and quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying again:

"Let's not talk about money anymore, let's not talk about money anymore, please go back."

"It would have been better if it had been this way."

Seeing Zhong Lao like this, Zhou Bingliang and the others sat back down and began to eat the food in front of them.

"What you just told us was nothing, helping you is a small matter, so there's no need to be polite."

At the dinner table, Zhou Bingliang brought up the matter again, fearing that Zhong Lao would have to spend more money.

"I know that, otherwise I wouldn't have called you two here. By the way, what have you been up to lately? We haven't been in touch for a long time, so we need to get to know each other better now."

Seeing that they had agreed, Old Zhong did not continue talking about this matter, but instead started chatting about other things and reminiscing about the past.

……

"Mr. Zhong, do you have any wine at home? We've already chatted this far, and if we don't bring some wine to liven things up, I feel it's really hard to continue the conversation."

As they were chatting happily, they noticed there was no wine nearby, so Zhou Bingliang started making fun of them.

"Look at what you're saying. You two have come all this way, how could I not prepare wine for you? Hurry up and bring the wine up."

Upon seeing that they wanted to drink, Elder Zhong immediately told Gao Qilin to fetch it.

Gao Qilin knew that these two people were there to help him and that they would likely be spending a lot of time together, so he became very enthusiastic and took the initiative to serve them tea and wine.

When Zhou Bingliang saw Gao Qilin's unfamiliar face, he began to examine him carefully.

He looked at Gao Qilin for a while, then focused his attention on Zhong Lao, carefully comparing the two.

And you know what? After comparing them, you'll find they look remarkably similar. Seeing this, he couldn't help but tease them:

"I haven't seen you for years. How come you have another son? And he's grown so much!"

"What are you talking about? My family only has one daughter, Xiao Ai. Where would we get a son?"

Upon hearing Zhou Bingliang's words, Elder Zhong immediately introduced Gao Qilin's identity.

“We haven’t seen each other for years. I forgot to tell you, this is Gao Qilin, the person I asked you to protect this time. He is also the future son-in-law of the Zhong family.”

"The Zhong family's prospective son-in-law? I remember you have very high standards for your son-in-law. It seems this young man has something extraordinary about him?"

Upon learning that Gao Qilin was the Zhong family's prospective son-in-law, Zhou Bingliang became instantly excited and looked Gao Qilin up and down as if he were also his son-in-law.

Gao Qilin disliked Zhou Bingliang's behavior, but since he was currently living under someone else's roof, he couldn't say anything and just let Zhou Bingliang observe him.

"Mr. Zhong, you have a good eye. I could tell at a glance that this kid is very smart."

After observing Gao Qilin carefully, Zhou Bingliang began to praise him, patting him on the shoulder before continuing:

·· 0 flowers requested ········

"Since we're all from the Zhong family now, let's not be so reserved and sit down to have something to eat together."

"Well... it's a bit inappropriate for me, a junior, to come over while you guys are drinking."

When they called for him to come over, Gao Qilin looked bewildered, his eyes constantly turning to Old Zhong beside him, hoping he could help him escape.

But at this moment, Elder Zhong stood with Zhou Bingliang and the others, and said:

“I think they have a point. We’re all family. There’s no such thing as elders and juniors. Besides, you’ll be spending a lot of time together in a couple of days. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a few drinks to strengthen your relationship?”

.... ......... ...

Seeing what Elder Zhong said, Gao Qilin could no longer object and began drinking with them under the table.

Although there was a significant age difference between them, Gao Qilin was quite adept at handling situations, so he behaved very naturally and answered their questions fluently. He was also able to chat with Zhou Bingliang and the others about many things.

This made the two of them very satisfied with Gao Qilin, and in less than half an hour, they got along very well.

Seeing that the conversation had gone on for a while, Zhou Bingliang got straight to the point and asked about Gao Qilin's situation.

"If my information is correct, then you must have had a conflict with Zhao Ruilong this time, right?"

"That's right, but Zhao Dong is backing him up, so it's not easy to deal with. Let's put it aside for now."

Although Zhou Bingliang did not reveal his plan, Gao Qilin could tell from his behavior that he intended to get rid of Zhao Ruilong.

To prevent him from acting impulsively and causing unnecessary trouble, I started to remind him.

Chapter 372 Searching for Insults

"Don't worry, he's much more thorough than you think, and he would never come up with any impulsive plans."

Seeing that Gao Qilin was worried about him, Zhong Lao, who was standing next to him, started to tease him.

"That's right. Although I don't know much about Zhao Ruilong's side, there have been frequent reports about his group over the years."

"There have been frequent reports about their group over the years? I've never heard of them before."

Gao Qilin was completely confused by Zhou Bingliang's words and couldn't help but ask questions.

"Of course, Zhao Ruilong's brother keeps the affairs of the group under control, so most people don't know much about them. My little bit of information was obtained from inside the company."

Seeing that Gao Qilin was unaware of the situation, Zhou Bingliang began to explain, but a hint of disappointment could be heard in his tone.

He had intended to ask Gao Qilin for some leverage over Zhao Ruilong, but he hadn't expected that Gao Qilin didn't even know the most basic things. So he sighed and continued:

"I was planning to get some leverage from you to target him, but it seems like that's not going to work now."

"Handbook? You know what, I actually have some."

Upon hearing the other party mention leverage, Gao Qilin immediately perked up.

"Then tell me quickly, what kinds do you have? If you can come up with more, dealing with Zhao Ruilong should become much easier."

Seeing that Gao Qilin had something to hide, the other two immediately became serious, staring intently at Gao Qilin, hoping to get some useful information out of him.

"What are you two doing? I called you here to protect his safety, not to take him on dangerous missions."

Upon seeing Zhou Bingliang's appearance, Elder Zhong immediately issued a warning, because he knew that this matter was not as easy as it seemed, otherwise it wouldn't have dragged on until now.

"Zhao Ruilong is the one who started this trouble for us, can't we find a way to fight back?"

“That’s right. Now you have two more helpers on your side, which should be more than enough to deal with Zhao Ruilong. Besides, you know our strength, so there’s no need to worry about any nonsense.”

The two of them could tell that Elder Zhong was saying this out of fear, so they immediately refuted him as soon as he finished speaking.

Seeing this, Elder Zhong wanted to say something in rebuttal, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, he sighed and said helplessly:

"You guys... never mind, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I can't talk to both of you by myself."

Seeing Zhong Lao's state, Zhou Bingliang and the others ignored him and focused their attention on Gao Qilin again.

"Tell us what you have on your end, we're waiting to help you come up with a plan."

"Yes, we've come all this way, and if you miss this opportunity, you might not have another chance to ask us for help."

Although Gao Qilin did not understand why they did this, he knew that he and Zhong Lao were on the same side.

So when faced with their persistent questioning, Gao Qilin appeared very serious, and after thinking for a moment, he said definitively:

"If I remember correctly, just last month, Zhao Ruilong's group was in the news because of a fight, but for some reason, the news disappeared in less than a day."

"This is normal for you. Don't forget who's behind them. With Zhao Dong backing them up, it's hard for rumors to last long..."

After thinking about it carefully, Gao Qilin realized that this was indeed the case. He started to think of new leverage against Gao Qilin, but at this moment Zhou Bingliang had lost interest in Gao Qilin and no longer focused his attention on him.

"Although I don't have any dirt on my side, I know people who do. Wait for me a moment, I'll go and contact them right away."

Gao Qilin racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with any useful leverage. However, in order to deal with Zhao Ruilong, he immediately started contacting other people after realizing he couldn't think of anything.

After hearing Gao Qilin say that, people's attention was once again focused on him, and they were all curious about what incriminating evidence he had.

At this moment, Gao Qilin found Gao Xiaoqin's phone number and immediately called her.

"What's wrong with you today? Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

As soon as the call connected, Gao Xiaoqin sighed on the other end, after all, they hadn't been in touch for a long time.

"Didn't you have some dirt on Zhao Ruilong before? Can you tell me now? I need it."

"Your 1.9 incriminating evidence is useless. His father is Zhao Long. Even if you have that incriminating evidence, it won't do you any good. In fact, if Zhao Ruilong finds out that you have something on him, he will probably target you in every way."

When Gao Qilin asked her about the Zhao family's secrets, Gao Xiaoqin on the phone began to warn him.

"You don't need to tell me that. I know it all on my end. I really need those incriminating pieces of information, so stop beating around the bush and just tell me."

Seeing that Gao Xiaoqin kept reminding him instead of saying it directly, Gao Qilin showed a very impatient expression.

Chapter 373 Doesn't work

Seeing how anxious Gao Qilin was, Gao Xiaoqin didn't know what else to say and directly told Gao Qilin all the leverage she had over him.

"The Zhao family has a money laundering facility in Handong Province, so they have a place to spend the dirty money they earn. Also, Zhao Dong often underpays money to higher authorities because of his special status. Since he is also a government official, the higher-ups turn a blind eye to this kind of thing."

"anything else."

Gao Xiaoqin stopped there, which made Gao Qilin very anxious, and he began to urge her on, since there were still a group of people waiting for him at the dinner table.
