Chapter 275: Old Man Zhong's Calculations
"Dad, it's been almost four hours now, Big Brother, Fubo can't be contacted, we can't wait any longer..."
Zhong Qiming looked worried, although Zhong Shaoyu was rescued from Mansion No. 1 tonight, but the three martial artists of the Zhong family were detained, in a sense, it was equivalent to working in vain.
Two first-grade and one second-grade, the Zhong family categorically cannot abandon it.
Of course, this alone will not alarm the old man in the middle of the night, and half an hour ago, a bad news came...
This morning, Zhong Qisheng, the boss of the Zhong family, took a dry Zhong family to the medicine field to harvest, and made an appointment with the Ouyu Medical Association to trade in the evening, and then the other party postponed the transaction for five hours, and the last time he called Zhong Qisheng, it was Zhong Qiming and others who returned to Zhong's house from the No. 1 Mansion, and Zhong Qisheng said on the phone that the other party's cargo ship was about to dock.
After that, Zhong Qisheng and others lost contact, the person in charge of the medicine field, Fu Bo's phone could not be reached, and the foreign part of the Zhong family's medicinal material business was in charge of Zhong Qisheng, and even Zhong Qiming did not have the contact information of the European Medical Association.
Anxious and helpless, I finally had to inform the old man who had fallen asleep, and the old man dialed the vice president of the European Medical Association to cross the ocean, and the answer was that the other party didn't know anything about it, and he didn't send anyone over at all, that is to say, this transaction with the European Medical Association did not exist!
Something happened!
It is really a disaster, and there is no single line, and there are waves of unsettled waves.
Old Man Zhong's eyes swept over: "What do you want to do?" β
Zhong Qiming said: "The eldest brother said that the handover is near the tidal wharf, and it is better to let Lingyun bring someone over than to wait at home, anyway, if there is any situation, you can contact Lingyun at any time." β
Zhong Lingyun stood up, looked at Old Man Zhong, and said simply: "Dad, I'll take Tangmu and two people, and a few more internal strength martial artists, and I'll set off now, and I can arrive in three hours at the earliest." β
The Zhong family is a family of medicinal materials, and the number of martial artists is much more than that of other families, however, Zhong Qisheng has already taken away one second-grade and five first-grade products, and Hong Chen has deducted one second-grade and two first-grade martial artists. Old Man Zhong frowned: "In this way, the head of the house is empty, in case your eldest brother comes to the news, how to respond?" β
After that, he glanced at the two second-grade martial artists: "You Tangmu, Chi Bin bring three internal strengths, three external strengths, Lingyun, you stay." β
Zhong Lingyun's slender brows frowned, shook his head and said, "Dad, it's better for me to bring someone over, Tangmu and Chi Bin stay, Fu Bo can't be contacted now, it's better for me to go over safely." β
The implication is that he does not trust Fauber 100%.
The Zhong family has a total of two three products, the first section of Fu Bo's three products, and the middle section of Zhong Linghui's three products.
In the conference hall, Mr. Zhong, Zhong Qiming needless to say, two second-grade martial artists, one is the old man's guard, the other is Zhong Qiming's guard, there is no doubt about loyalty, there are some words, Zhong Linghui will not shy away from it.
Old Man Zhong's eyes flickered, thought about it again, and nodded in acquiescence.
Zhong Lingyun didn't talk nonsense, after leaving the meeting hall, a few minutes later, after gathering all the people, two cars, one in front of the other, drove out of the Zhong Da Courtyard.
Soon after Zhong Lingyun and the others left, a gray sedan passed the identity authentication and drove into Zhong's house.
In the conference hall, the four old man Zhong were still there, the housekeeper knocked on the door and went in to report, and the head of the Cao family came to visit and asked to see the old man.
Zhong Qiming's face changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Dad, I'll go to the reception, you can rest early." β
Old Man Zhong shook his head slowly: "Yongnian came late at night and wanted to see me by name, there must be something important." β
Then, he instructed the housekeeper to take Cao Yongnian to the study.
Zhong Qiming guessed that the old man would not refuse to see him, and sighed in his heart, Hong Chen's matter, he didn't want the old man to know, but now he is destined to be unable to hide it.
An hour later, Cao Yongnian said goodbye and left, and Old Man Zhong was sent to the garden unusually, watched Cao Yongnian's car drive out of the gate of Zhong's house, and then called Zhong Qiming to the study.
Old Man Zhong leaned back on the Taishi's chair and said solemnly: "Regarding that Hongchen, you tell the matter as it is. β
The old man didn't let him sit, Zhong Qiming stood there in a proper manner, and from the birthday banquet that night, he said it all over 1510.
After hearing this, Old Man Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "Early tomorrow morning, send the three medicinal materials over and bring people back first." β
Zhong Qiming was shocked, isn't this a compromise to Hong Chen?
Hong Chen detained the Zhong family, tossed each other for a few days, and the Zhong family also used force tonight, and at this point, it is no longer about who is reasonable and who is not, but about face.
Compromise represents bowing his head, in the bull market, how could he have bowed his head to others?
He quickly said: "Dad, I don't know what Cao Yongnian told you, but if it weren't for his Cao family's great help to Hong Chen tonight, the three of us in the Zhong family would not have been detained." β
After that, he added: "At that time, there were more than ten people on Hong Chen's side, at least half of whom were Cao family warriors. β
Others can't identify the Cao family's martial artists, but Zhong Qiming recognizes several, at that time, he could see clearly in the telescope, and the few he knew were all there, so he didn't pick out on the spot that the first was because the third lady was there, and second, he wanted to deal with it himself, if Cao Yongnian didn't come tonight, he would go to Cao's house tomorrow morning to ask for the guilt.
Old Man Zhong looked at him and said expressionlessly: "Yongnian told me, among the more than ten martial artists on the other side tonight, the Cao family accounts for eight, not half, but more than half, what do you mean, do you think that the relationship between the two of us is good, and you want to persuade Cao Yongnian to let the Cao family defect to our Zhong family, and then force Hong Chen to hand over people?" β
Zhong Qiming was silent, which was the default attitude.
"Don't be naΓ―ve." Old Man Zhong snorted, his face was slightly pale: "First, Cao Shuyun's leg injury is a piece of Cao Yongnian's heart disease, and Hong Chen took this as a condition to get the help of the Cao family. β
"Second, this matter has not been publicized until now, to put it bluntly, it is still a private matter between Hong Chen and our Zhong family, do you want to make a big fuss and let everyone know that the Zhong family and grandson have been kidnapped, or is it because of rebellion?"
"Third, that Hong Chen is a second-grade martial artist, and there are at least two or three second-grade martial artists among his people, as well as a first-grade martial artist who is close to double digits, this power plus one piece is not worse than the Cao family, is it true that in order to fight for a breath, do you really want to have a full-scale conflict and lose both? Don't forget, on someone else's side, the remaining three medicinal materials, that is the reward that people deserve. β
Regarding the three points raised by the old man, Zhong Qiming opened his mouth several times and wanted to refute it, but he found that he was speechless, and finally smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, from the beginning, this matter was caused by the fact that the people of the European Medical Association had a personal enmity with one of Hong Chen and others, and they did not let the Zhong family have business dealings with Hong Chen and others, and now there is no such taboo." β
Old Man Zhong nodded, and his tone softened: "Qiming, I know your thoughts, you think that if you compromise now, my Zhong family will lose face, if Qisheng doesn't have an accident, I don't bother to care, it's up to you to make your own decisions, but now..."
After a pause, he said worriedly: "To tell you the truth, I have a bad premonition in my heart, Yongsheng has no news until now, in case Lingyun encounters trouble again, then my Zhong family is really going to be anxious, at that time, Hong Chen may still be able to count on it, and I can also be regarded as a backhand." β
A look of surprise flowed through Zhong Qi's eyes.
Old Man Zhong's hand shook and handed him a note: "Lingyun seriously injured one of Hong Chen's subordinates, and threw people down from the fourth floor, if Hong Chen hadn't been treated on the spot, maybe he would have died, for this reason, that Hong Chen asked my Zhong family to give an explanation, and the medicinal materials written on it were his conditions." β
Zhong Qiming glanced at the names of the medicinal materials on the paper, and the next moment, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Dragon head phoenix tail flower, rare grade medicinal materials, this Hongchen is really black enough." β
Looking at Zhong Qiming's ugly face, Old Man Zhong smiled, no matter how you look at it, that smile is a bit cunning: "It's a little darker, but for now, the benefits to my Zhong family outweigh the disadvantages." β
"Of course, it is best for Yongsheng to come back safely, and there is no need to wait for him to write a war book, I see that Lingyun is also uneasy, so let Lingyun take the initiative to come to the door and have a discussion with her, if you want the dragon head phoenix tail flower, then you have to win Lingyun."
"If Lingyun is in trouble, this dragon head phoenix tail flower is the bargaining chip for that Hong Chen to do things for my Zhong family, if there is a debt and a master, if Ling Yun has a mistake, don't think about the dragon head phoenix tail flower."
Listening to the old man's words, Zhong Qiming's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.
