After Gao Qilin finished speaking, he immediately put down what he was holding, straightened his collar, and stood solemnly in front of Zhao Hu.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly so serious?"

Seeing Gao Qilin's actions, Zhao Hu looked completely bewildered, having no idea what Gao Qilin was trying to do.

"Greetings, Tiger!"

Just as Zhao Hu was wondering, Gao Qilin suddenly lowered his head and greeted Zhao Hu respectfully.

Seeing this, Zhao Hu finally understood Gao Qilin's meaning and burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at creating a sense of ritual. Great, this is exactly the kind of atmosphere I wanted."

After saying this, Zhao Hu looked down at his watch. He realized that he had already wasted half a day. If he continued to delay like this, many things would be impossible to handle.

To be on the safe side, Zhao Hu immediately changed the subject and asked:

"Your matter should be almost settled by now. How about we discuss the contract again?"

"You're so clever, I forgot we had the contract with us. Wait there for a moment, I'll send someone to print it out right away."

Upon hearing Zhao Hu's words, Gao Qilin appeared very excited. Unlike before, he didn't think too much and instead quickly asked his assistant to agree to the contract.

Upon seeing the contract Gao Qilin handed him, Zhao Hu signed the first page without even glancing at it, which puzzled Gao Qilin, who then asked:

"You just signed it like that? Aren't you going to read the contents? What if there's something in the contract that's unfavorable to you?"

Despite Gao Qilin's size, Zhao Hu remained calm and simply tossed the contract to Gao Qilin.

"I will naturally trust that you won't harm me, given the contract you gave me."

"This……"

Seeing how much Brother Zhao trusted him, Gao Qilin was at a loss for what to do. He kept looking around, appearing completely bewildered.

However, Zhao Hu didn't notice this. Seeing that he had achieved his goal, he looked very satisfied and said to him:

"Alright, I came here for this contract. Since it's already signed, I won't stay here any longer. After all, I have a lot of things to take care of, and if I delay too long, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle them properly."

After saying that, Zhao Hu left directly. By the time Gao Qilin came to his senses, he had already disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Gao Qilin wanted to chase after them to ask more questions, but he didn't see a single car when he went outside.

"What's going on? How can he run so fast? I just came out and he's already gone?"

After seeing that Zhao Hu had left, Gao Qilin couldn't help but complain. However, this also made him realize that the other party was very strong and that he had to be very careful when cooperating with him.

To prevent any unnecessary trouble, Gao Qilin stayed at the company and kept researching issues related to retirement planning.

After Gao Qilin had almost finished arranging his retirement plans, he realized that many days had passed. Upon seeing this, he immediately picked up his phone and contacted Gao Qilan.

"How's the situation on your end? Has Zhao Ruilong come looking for trouble these past few days?"

As soon as the call connected, Gao Qilin inquired about her situation.

“I’ve been guarding Changguan Village these past few days, and nothing like what happened before has happened yet. Xiao Ai has also been by my side these past few days, so don’t worry. You can focus on your work.”

Gao Qilan knew that he had a project to work on, so she didn't want her to waste too much energy in Changguan Village.

"I've finished what I was doing, I'll go check on the situation now."

Before Gao Qilan could speak again, Gao Qilin hung up the phone and rushed to Changguan Village.

When Gao Qilin arrived there, he found that it was indeed as he had said. Changguan Village had returned to normal life, and there was no one causing trouble.

"What, do you think I lied to you on the phone, so you came all the way here to see for yourself?"

When Gao Qilin came over in person, Gao Qilan thought he felt that she had lied to him, so she acted angry.

"What are you saying? How could I not worry about you? It's just that I haven't had anything to do lately, so I came to check on you. If you're not happy about it, I can go back."

Gao Qilin knew Gao Qilan's temperament, and after hearing what he said, he went along with him and then pretended to leave.

Seeing this, Gao Qilan panicked and quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying:

"I was just joking. You should know that since you're alright over there, you might as well stay for a few days. After all, Zhao Ruilong might send people over at any time, and I'll be all alone here then. What will I do?"

Chapter 394 They won't be back for a while.

After saying this, Gao Qilan looked quite helpless.

It turns out that she had been living in fear these past few days, but she just didn't want to tell Gao Qilin.

"Don't worry, Zhao Ruilong won't cause any trouble for a while."

How do you know he won't come?

After hearing what Gao Qilin said, Gao Qilan and Zhong Xiaoai both turned their attention to Gao Qilin.

"The person I'm working with this time is Zhao Hu. You should have heard of him. Before we started working together, he promised me that Zhao Ruilong wouldn't cause us any trouble during this period."

Faced with their questions, Gao Qilin truthfully explained the situation on his side.

However, no sooner had he spoken than Gao Qilan, who was standing nearby, immediately retorted:

"What's wrong with you? How could you cooperate with someone like that?"

"You should know that Zhao Hu is a notorious scoundrel in this area. Do you really believe what he says? Aren't you afraid that he'll deny everything to you in a couple of days?"

"This……"

Faced with Gao Qilan's words, Gao Qilin was at a loss for words, as everything she said made sense.

"Forget it, since it's already happened, let's not dwell on it anymore. We should think about what to do next."

Seeing Gao Qilan upset about this, Zhong Xiaoai immediately comforted her.

After all, Gao Qilan has only been discharged from the hospital for a short time, and there's always the possibility of something else happening.

After settling things with Gao Qilan, Zhong Xiaoai complained to Gao Qilin:

"Honestly, don't you know your sister just got out of the hospital? How could you do something like that to upset her?"

"I didn't mean to upset him, I just..."

"Never mind, it was indeed my oversight. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to salvage this situation."

Knowing he couldn't explain it clearly, Gao Qilin stopped explaining and focused his attention on his surroundings.

After carefully observing the area, he discovered that Changguan Village was not very large, which gave him an idea.

After coming up with a solution, he immediately said to Zhong Xiaoai and the others:

“I have a solution. Why don’t we just put up some wire mesh and surround Changguan Village? That way, even if Zhao Ruilong wants to cause trouble, he won’t be able to get in.”

"What kind of idea is this? It's true that surrounding them will prevent outsiders from getting in, but how will the people of Changguan Village get out? We can't just let them live a life isolated from the world."

However, as soon as Gao Qilin said this, Gao Qilan, who was standing next to him, began to disagree and pointed out the drawbacks of his actions.

“We’ll leave an exit in an inconspicuous spot, so that the people of Changguan Village can leave freely, while it will be more difficult for outsiders to come in.”

Gao Qilan wanted to refute Gao Qilin's method, but after careful consideration, he realized that there was no better solution available at the moment, so he chose to compromise.

"Since you've said that, then we'll do it your way. If it doesn't work, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself."

"Don't worry, it will definitely work."

After Gao Qilan agreed, Gao Qilin immediately took action and purchased a large amount of iron mesh.

"What are you doing?"

At this time, the people of Changguan Village were unaware of Gao Qilin's plan, so they looked puzzled when they saw him bring so many iron nets.

“I wanted to protect you with those iron fences.”

Faced with their questions, Gao Qilin explained his plan.

Because the overall cultural level of Changguan Village is not high, and Gao Qilin's words were rather profound, they did not know what Gao Qilin's plan was.

However, they could see that Gao Qilin was very confident in his plan, so no one questioned it and they all did as he said.

Although Changguan Village is not large, it has a large population, most of whom are strong men. This made the installation of the nets much easier, and the nets were all installed in just a few days, with an entrance left for people to enter and exit.

Looking at the huge iron fence in front of them, the villagers looked quite satisfied and exclaimed:

“Great! This way, Zhao Ruilong probably won’t be able to get in if he wants to cause trouble.”

"Yes, that way I won't have to live in fear anymore. I've had enough of being bullied."

(The King's)

Faced with the villagers' praise, Gao Qilin's face showed a very satisfied look, because he knew that these words were an affirmation of him.

However, Zhong Xiaoai did not express her opinion. Instead, she kept staring at the entrance with a questioning expression on her face.

Seeing her like this, Gao Qilin immediately went up to her and asked:

"So, what do you think of my solution? I think it's acceptable."

However, after hearing Gao Qilin's words, Zhong Xiaoai shook her head and said directly:

"I think you need to arrange for a few more people to guard the exit. What if Zhao Ruilong's men find the entrance? Wouldn't they be able to come in anytime?"

Chapter 395 Old Zhong is bullied

"How could I not have thought of that?"

Upon hearing what Zhong Xiaoai said, Gao Qilin suddenly realized what was going on and immediately arranged for people to guard the area. Soon, some people were selected from Changguan Village to take turns on duty.
