However, this time Gao Qilin did not secretly observe from the shadows, but instead showed himself directly and stated his purpose directly.
"How can you be so sure I'll help you? What good would it do me to betray Zhao Ruilong?"
When Zhang Tian heard that Gao Qilin wanted to recruit him directly, he looked very surprised. He didn't know where Gao Qilin got his confidence from.
"Although you've been with Zhao Ruilong for a long time, you should also know very well that he's never treated you like a human being. He only calls you when he needs something, and he gets annoyed just seeing you when he doesn't need to. Am I right about that?"
Gao Qilin had anticipated Zhang Tian's question, so he simply recited the explanation he had prepared.
"This……"
After hearing Gao Qilin's words, Zhang Tian looked very troubled, because Gao Qilin had hit the nail on the head; that was exactly how Zhao Ruilong treated him.
"So what if that's the case? He has been kind to me and has been good to me."
Despite the circumstances, Zhang Tian was not foolish enough to betray Zhao Ruilong with just a few words, so he still maintained a disdainful demeanor.
"It's true that he has been kind to you, but you should also know that he has asked you to do some dangerous things, such as drugging people or doing things that could endanger lives. I don't need to say more, you should know this better than I do. Based on all this, do you think Zhao Ruilong really treats you like a human being?"
Gao Qilin's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Zhang Tian speechless and looking quite troubled.
"If things continue like this, if you make a mistake even once when you help him, he should be looking out for himself, not helping you. Am I right about that? So what's the point of following him? Do you think you've lived too long?"
Gao Qilin's words were like an imperial edict, piercing Zhang Tian's heart and causing Zhang Tian's opinion of Zhao Ruilong to change.
This is exactly the result Gao Qilin wanted to see.
Seeing that Zhang Tian was still thinking, Gao Qilin pressed on and continued talking, trying to brainwash him in this way.
At this moment, Zhang Tian's head felt like it was about to explode. He quickly stopped Gao Qilin and said:
"Alright, stop talking. I'll help you. Just tell me if there's anything you need my help with. As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely help you."
"Actually, what I asked you to do is very simple: just keep an eye on Zhao Ruilong these days, and if you find any dirt on him, just tell me."
Seeing that Zhang Tian agreed to help him, Gao Qilin finally breathed a sigh of relief, because he wasn't entirely confident this time either.
"His dirty secrets? Don't worry about them. I know a lot about them. You should know that I've been doing shady things for Zhao Ruilong."
When Zhang Tian saw that Gao Qilin had come for Zhao Ruilong's dirt, he burst into laughter.
"How could I not have thought of that? Then tell me everything you know."
Chapter 376 Obtaining Useful Information
Upon hearing Zhang Tian's words, Gao Qilin immediately perked up and quickly took out his phone to write them down.
Although Zhao Ruilong hadn't treated him very well, Zhang Tian wasn't stupid, so he didn't say anything immediately. Seeing Gao Qilin's eager look, he asked:
"What good would it do me to tell you those things?"
"Well... if you just tell me, I can offer you better treatment than Zhao Ruilong. If I'm not mistaken, Zhao Ruilong only pays you less than 10,000 a month, right? I can offer you that. What do you think?"
Zhang Tian was the kind of person who was greedy for money. When he saw that Gao Qilin offered such a high price, he was immediately tempted and agreed before Gao Qilin could continue.
Seeing Zhang Tian's performance, Gao Qilin breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself:
"I thought he would be difficult to deal with, but I didn't expect to get rid of him with just 10,000 yuan. Luckily, I speak slowly, otherwise I might have lost a lot of things."
In order to get Zhang Tian to cooperate better, Gao Qilin directly placed the money he had prepared in advance in front of him.
"If you tell me what you know, I'll give you this month's money in advance. That way you'll feel at ease. What do you think?"
Seeing how generous Gao Qilin was, Zhang Tian took the money and immediately agreed.
At this point, he recounted everything that Zhao Ruilong had previously assigned him.
"I never imagined that Zhao Ruilong had done so many shady things before."
Gao Qilin couldn't help but sigh at Zhang Tian's words.
"Alright, I've almost finished collecting the information. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. If you have any new information, feel free to contact me anytime. This is my phone number."
In order not to miss any information, Gao Qilin left his phone number immediately after speaking.
"How did things go? Did Zhang Tian agree to help you?"
Upon seeing Gao Qilin return, Zhong Xiaoai immediately began asking him questions.
"Don't you trust me to do things? Zhang Tian has already agreed to help us, and I also have dirt on Zhao Ruilong."
Seeing Zhong Xiaoai's eagerness, Gao Qilin immediately took out what he had heard from Zhang Tian.
Looking at the densely packed small text on Gao Qilin's phone, Zhong Xiaoai couldn't help but sigh:
"You're very efficient. In less than a day, you've gathered so much useful information. This will make dealing with Zhao Ruilong much easier."
"I'm not entirely sure about that yet. I'm planning to show those documents to Zhou Bingliang and the others and get their opinions."
During the days he spent with Zhou Bingliang, Gao Qilin had come to trust them completely, so they were the first people he thought of.
“Perfect timing, my father is here now, so you can hear the opinions of all three of them at once.”
Gao Qilin nodded and took the collected information directly to the living room.
At this moment, Mr. Zhong was still chatting with Zhou Bingliang and the others, but when they saw Gao Qilin coming over, they immediately stopped what they were talking about and focused all their attention on Gao Qilin.
Old Zhong knew that Gao Qilin must have come to see him about something, so he asked directly:
Is there anything wrong on your end?
"I collected some dirt on Zhao Ruilong a couple of days ago, which should be helpful in the progress of the matter, so I would like to share it with you all for your opinions."
Seeing that his purpose had been discovered, Gao Qilin made no attempt to hide it and spoke his mind directly.
"Where did you get that dirt on me?"
When Zhou Bingliang saw the messages on Gao Qilin's phone, he was surprised and immediately began to ask questions.
"It came from one of his subordinates. He did a lot of shady things for Zhao Ruilong, so his information is relatively reliable."
.... ......... ...
Faced with Zhou Bingliang's question, Gao Qilin told the truth, since only those close to Zhao Ruilong could obtain such information.
"This shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, Zhao Ruilong should treat those who know his secrets well. How did you manage to persuade his subordinates?"
“He had a subordinate named Zhang Tian, who did many shady things for him, but because Zhang Tian was not well-educated, Zhao Ruilong did not treat him well. I got those information from him.”
"So all that information you had came from him? But then again, he was willing to betray Zhao Ruilong, so how can you be sure that everything he said is true?"
After learning that he had heard it from Zhang Tian, Old Zhong began to question it, since Zhang Tian was indeed a rather unreliable person.
“I can’t be sure if what he said is true, but I know that these things must pose a certain threat to Zhao Ruilong. After all, he has done a lot of things, and he certainly can’t remember everything.”
Gao Qilin had already considered this point, so he never expected that what Zhang Tian said was true.
Chapter 377 Sending Elder Zhong Off
"I like your courage."
After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Zhou Bingliang began to praise him, and at this moment he was becoming more and more fond of Gao Qilin.
"With someone like you by my side, I don't believe there's anything we can't accomplish. It's just a pity you were born too late. If you had been born earlier, you might be our brother now."
At this moment, Chen Kun, who was standing to the side, also started to tease him. Their words left Gao Qilin speechless for a moment.
Although Zhou Bingliang and the others agreed with Gao Qilin's approach, Elder Zhong felt it was somewhat inappropriate, believing it to be too risky. He then offered a reminder:
"I think you should be careful and not take too many risks. Don't forget that I called you here to protect his safety, not to lead him into trouble."
"We know all that, so don't worry. Besides, don't you trust us brothers to handle things? Stop worrying unnecessarily. You'll be leaving this afternoon, right? How's your packing going?"
Seeing that Elder Zhong was ruining the atmosphere, Zhou Bingliang looked very impatient. He couldn't wait for Elder Zhong to go to the meeting.
"What? I'm leaving this afternoon? Time flies so fast."
After hearing what Zhou Bingliang said, Zhong was very surprised and immediately took out his phone to check the date.
"It really was this afternoon. Luckily you reminded me, otherwise I probably wouldn't have made it to tomorrow's meeting."
After saying that, Mr. Zhong immediately got busy and began packing his things.
"How about we take you to the airport?"
Seeing that Elder Zhong was about to leave, Zhong Xiaoai, who was standing to the side, was really reluctant to part with him.
"It would be good if you could give me a ride, that way I'd have someone to talk to on the way."
When Zhong Xiaoai offered to see him off, Old Zhong did not refuse and asked Gao Qilin to take the two of them to the airport together.
"If Zhao Ruilong really makes a move against you, you must tell me so I can provide you with some other assistance."
On the way to the airport, Zhong was still a little worried about Gao Qilin, so he began to give him earnest reminders.
"Don't worry about that. We're all discussing how to deal with Zhao Ruilong right now. Why is it his turn to attack us?"
Seeing that Elder Zhong was still worried about this matter, Gao Qilin couldn't help but tease him, in his eyes Elder Zhong's worries were completely unnecessary.
"Do you really think that the little bit of dirt you have is enough to deal with Zhao Ruilong? Don't be delusional. Zhou Bingliang and the others were just joking. Don't take it seriously. If you really say that, it won't help you at all. Instead, it will push you into a fire."
Seeing that Gao Qilin was still thinking about how to deal with Zhao Ruilong at this point, his tone immediately became serious, fearing that Gao Qilin would ignore his advice and go after Zhao Ruilong, thus getting himself into trouble.
Gao Qilin knew that Zhong Lao always prioritized safety, and if he were to tell him any unrealistic plans, it would only provoke a warning from Zhong Lao, so he agreed on the surface.
"Don't worry, I will definitely listen to you on this matter and will not do anything reckless. You should also know that I cherish my life and will never gamble with my life."
"That's more like it. Since you've already figured it out, I'm relieved..."
