Chapter 564 - 557: Suck You Dry_2

Pretending for over a dozen years, almost deceiving everyone.

This kind of power, this kind of scheming, this kind of sophistication, is it really something an ordinary person could possess?

Moreover, he had truly found an opportunity for revenge!

It could be said he was exceptionally wise, with both courage and strategy.

Just as he himself said, if he hadn't feigned ignorance, he would have been killed by Zhao Haishan in the first few years.

"Good! Very good!"

Old Master Zhao was moved to tears, looking at Zhao Siyuan with eyes full of admiration and comfort.

Originally, he hesitated; if he really sent Zhao Haishan to the police, the Zhao Family surely would be in chaos.

But now it seems that his worries were completely unnecessary!

Just from Zhao Siyuan's patience, one could see that this kid was definitely no ordinary person, and he even had the ability to topple his uncle. This ability is enough to hold up the Zhao Family.

"Someone! Arrest Zhao Haishan, this traitor who harmed his own brother, and call the police immediately!"

Old Master Zhao began giving orders directly; today, he would get justice for his eldest son and daughter-in-law!

He couldn't let them die so unjustly!

Burned to death at the train station, such a cruel method!

Zhao Haishan stood there dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to do.

He never expected that his seemingly flawless scheme could be defeated by Zhao Siyuan, who appeared to be a foolish waste!

It was simply unbelievable.

Had he known it would end like this, he shouldn't have been soft-hearted. Even if the other party was only a fool, he should have cut the weeds and dug up the roots.

But it was too late to say all this now.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhao Haishan was taken away by the police.

Zhao Siyuan's eyes were red, and tears wouldn't stop falling. He wiped his face and walked up to Old Master Zhao, heaving three bows.

Old Master Zhao was also tearful and helped his most hopeful grandson up: "Siyuan! Don't cry! Don't cry! Today is a good day! We grandparent and grandchild should be happy!"

Actually, Old Master Zhao knew that his foolish grandson wasn't a match for Ni Yongruo.

Because no matter what, she was a Miss, and her grandfather was a standing member of the provincial committee.

But he still insisted on this marriage because he knew he was getting old and didn't have much time left. As long as he was around, he could still take care of Zhao Siyuan. Once he was gone, this fool must have a backer.

The Ni Family was the backing he found for his grandson.

Now, his grandson suddenly wasn't foolish anymore and even solved the murderer of his father. To Old Master Zhao, this was undoubtedly great news.

"Grandfather, there's one thing I need to clarify now. I want to annul this engagement." Zhao Siyuan, having achieved his purpose, now needed to fulfill his promise to Li Chuan.

Even though Ni Yongruo was indeed beautiful, making his heart flutter a bit.

But there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

Since Li Chuan could covertly handle Zhao Siqian's death and even make Wang Chao betray his brother-in-law, he wouldn't be an exception.

In his eyes, that young man was simply too terrifying; with such skills, he was no match.

Old Master Zhao didn't force it either, looking gratified: "Alright, you're grown up now, you have the right to choose your own happiness. If you don't want to marry the girl from the Ni Family, then it's up to you!"

Old Master Zhao also understood his stance very well.

And he believed that his old friend, Ni Hao, would agree.

But even if he didn't agree, he'd set conditions for his old friend to agree.

Ni Yongruo, standing nearby, was confused from beginning to end.

What on earth was happening? Just like that, the marriage was dissolved.

Was she really free now??

She was a bit bewildered, not knowing what exactly was going on with the Zhao Family, but the current situation was definitely closely related to Li Chuan.

Indeed, a series of events had happened in the Zhao Family. Zhao Haishan was taken away, and Zhao Siyuan became the future head of the Zhao Family.

And the engagement was annulled.

In this matter, not only was Zhao Siyuan a direct beneficiary, but she was also one of the beneficiaries.

However, Ni Yongruo was curious about how Li Chuan achieved all this. It could only be described as magical!

Ni Yongruo thought she already knew Li Chuan very well, but over time, she realized she couldn't see through this kid's power more and more.

Is he still the same simple boy from back then?

Old Master Zhao chuckled, under Zhao Siyuan's support, walking to the stage center, bowing deeply to the guests who came to celebrate, and then said loudly: "I'm sorry to have made you all laugh with what just happened, but please enjoy the food and drink, and if there's anything lacking in hospitality, please bear with us!"

...

"Li Chuan! Where are you?"

Just as Li Chuan was sitting in the car, heading back to Wulin County, he received a call from Ni Yongruo, who was very excited and agitated.

Li Chuan appeared indifferent: "Where else could I be, of course heading back to Wulin County!"

"By the way, don't say thank you to me. With the ties between us, saying those two words would be an insult to me."

"If you really want to thank me, then you'll just have to dress up pretty next time we meet."

Ni Yongruo: "Alright! Just wait! I'll come to Wulin County and drain you dry!"

"Good! I look forward to it!" After saying this, Li Chuan's eyes showed a hint of anticipation.

Being able to make such progress with Ni Yongruo was something he hadn't expected before.

After hanging up, Li Chuan leaned back in his seat, leisurely sipping tea.

Mu Weishuang glanced at Li Chuan through the rear-view mirror: "Sect Leader, this Miss Ni is a rare find, although her family background seems complex. You've entangled with her and her aunt; I wonder what her family would think if they knew?"

"It doesn't matter at all." Li Chuan wasn't concerned in the slightest, "I'm already heading to Yanjing to cause trouble; a few more enemies mean nothing."

Mu Weishuang chuckled.

Li Chuan wasn't exactly wrong.

Anyway, enemies covered the globe; one more wouldn't make a difference.

"I heard Mu Jianqing went into seclusion yesterday. For a Grandmaster to go into seclusion, it could only mean he's on the verge of a breakthrough."

Mu Weishuang's tone was somewhat solemn.

"Let him break through if he wants. Once he does, he'll be qualified to be my opponent. But you, you need to focus on your training. Avenge your mother's death yourself, it won't be easy!"

"But if you can't handle it, you still have me; it's not a big problem."

Saying this, Li Chuan's phone rang.

Li Chuan thought it might be a woman calling him, but when he picked it up, it was Hu Junjie, County Party Secretary Li Zhao's driver.

"Brother Jie, what's up?" Li Chuan said with a smile.

"Li Chuan, are you free this evening? Let's have dinner together. This time it's not my invitation; Secretary Li Zhao wants to invite you to dinner."

Li Chuan was taken aback, never expecting the County Party Secretary to invite him.

Though slightly puzzled, he agreed readily: "How can I let Secretary Li invite me, I'll choose the restaurant and send you the location in a bit."

"Great!"

Hu Junjie agreed readily.

After exchanging small talk, they hung up.

Then, Li Chuan took out his phone and found the seafood restaurant where he'd been scammed when dining with Ni Yongruo.

It was called Eight Directions Seafood City.

This place loved to cheat customers, didn't it?

Today, he wanted to see if they still dared to cheat!
