Chapter 114: 111. Don’t ask, if you ask, the answer is omnipotent [2 updates]
“Trespassing into a private home, illegal abduction, take him away.”
The words were spoken lightly, yet they carried a chill.
That sent a shiver down one’s spine.
Old Master Zhong was startled and also looked over.
Then he realized that Ying Zijin had not come alone.
Outside the door, there were two young people in uniform.
This uniform felt familiar to Old Master Zhong, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen it before in that moment.
Upon hearing this, the two uniformed young men stepped inside, immediately immobilized Zhong Tianyun’s shoulders, and took him under control in an instant.
Zhong Tianyun panicked, struggling desperately: “What are you doing? Let go! Release me! Do you know this is illegal?!”
The two uniformed young men ignored him, instead looking at the girl, clearly waiting for her instruction.
“Thank you for your efforts.” Ying Zijin said indifferently, without even glancing at the panicked Zhong Tianyun, “Take him away.”
“Let go! Let go!” As he was escorted out of the Zhong Family’s old residence, Zhong Tianyun continued to roar, “Who are you? I’ll sue you! Let me go!”
After Zhong Tianyun was dragged away, Ying Zijin raised her leg and with one kick each, sent the bodyguards out of the door.
Then she turned her head to look at the several shareholders who had come with Zhong Tianyun.
Fearing they might also be kicked out, the shareholders dared not utter a word and hastily left.
Old Master Zhong silently picked up his reading glasses from the table and put them on.
He thought to himself that he needed to change his lenses, they were too useless, always missing his granddaughter’s impressive moves.
Zhong Zhiwan was still in a daze, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.
At this moment, Steward Zhong, who had escaped the control of the bodyguards, came over.
The next instant, he knelt down directly in front of the girl, his voice choked with emotion: “Miss Cousin, I really can’t thank you enough, if it weren’t for you, it really, really…”
If Old Master Zhong had truly been taken away by Zhong Tianyun, even if his life remained, half of it would be gone.
This kind of thing was all too common in wealthy family power struggles.
Steward Zhong had grown up with Old Master Zhong and had once been saved by him, not quite brothers, but just as close as blood.
Yet in the situation that had just occurred, he was helpless to do anything, and even offering his own life in exchange for Old Master Zhong wasn’t of any interest to Zhong Tianyun.
“Steward Grandpa, please stand up,” Ying Zijin said softly as she bent down to help him, “It’s alright, it’s all over now.”
She naturally couldn’t be observing the future at all times, but if something important was about to happen to someone close to her, she would sense it.
The loss of the Treasure of the Emerald Chamber – Ten Directions Realm occurred seventeen days ago, just beyond her capacity to see into the past.
However, the Jade Pavilion’s manager only discovered it five days ago.
Because the Ten Directions Realm had always been kept in a separate, sealed room with multiple protections and would not be put on display unless there was a special occasion.
After finalizing the contract with that multinational company, they checked only once and didn’t look again.
After all, it had been fifty years and the Ten Directions Realm had always been well preserved, and the security system in place was currently high-level.
Who would have thought it would still be lost?
Steward Zhong, trembling, stood up, his voice still hoarse: “Miss Cousin, if you have any orders in the future, I am willing to put my old life on the line without any hesitation!”
Zhong Zhiwan was startled.
Steward Zhong was responsible for managing the Zhong Family’s old residence, but in reality, he was loyal only to Old Master Zhong.
He had never even spoken such words to her father.
“There won’t be any need for that,” Ying Zijin slightly shook her head, “It should be me protecting you.”
She paused for a moment, “Grandfather, I have something to tell you.”
Old Master Zhong nodded and glanced indifferently toward Zhong Zhiwan.
No emotion showed.
But the meaning was clear.
Lady Zhong and Zhong Zhiwan felt a chill in their hearts.
This was clearly the start of alienation.
Steward Zhong, a seventy-year-old man, had even come forward to intervene, yet they had done nothing.
Zhong Zhiwan felt aggrieved.
She didn’t want it to be like this, but she was powerless, unable to fight off those bodyguards.
Lady Zhong forced a smile, not daring to say more, and led Zhong Zhiwan away.
Their figures looked rather defeated.
Steward Zhong touched his balding head: “Master Zhong, you talk with Miss Cousin, I’ll go to the kitchen and prepare something to drink for you.”
After he left, only the grandparent and grandchild remained in the living room.
The real problem was that they had already signed the deal with that multinational company; tomorrow was the delivery day. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
