Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 271 Zhao Ruilong's Scheme, Zhong Xiaoai's Chance Encounter!

Zhao Ruilong was astonished.

I learned in the afternoon that Chen Tai had been in a car accident.

My first thought was that someone was deliberately trying to harm me.

In the original series, Chen Tai lived until 2006 before being sidelined and forced to abdicate.

How could he have died so young, passing away in a car accident in 2001?

Moreover, when Zhao Ruilong learned the news, he thought that Gao Qiqiang was the mastermind behind it all.

In the original drama, it was Gao Qiqiang who knelt down in public and called Chen Tai his godfather, saying he would take care of him in his old age and see him off when he died.

After winning the battle with Chengcheng over the Mangcun project, it was Gao Qiqiang who acquired shares, coerced senior executives, and sidelined Chen Tai.

In real life, it's not uncommon for biological sons and daughters to turn against their parents, let alone Gao Qiqiang, who is just a godson.

Besides, when Chen Tai first took Gao Qiqiang as his godson, wasn't it also because he wanted to use Gao Qiqiang, who could even kill Xu Jiang?

and so……

Zhao Ruilong guessed that the car accident was not an accident and suspected that the real culprit was Gao Qiqiang.

But after reading the text message from Zhao Lidong, I still felt a little unsettled.

It has been over a year since I transmigrated to this world.

Over the past year, with the help of the system and his own premonition of the plot's direction, he has changed many people and many things.

Whether it's bringing down the Liang family or defeating the Zhong family, it's all about using a scheme against Liang Wei and Cai Chenggong's greed.

Moreover, only the three Liang siblings, as well as Cai Chenggong, Hou Liangping, and Zhong Zhengguo, were sent to prison.

Even though it was a life-or-death struggle, Zhao Ruilong never intended to kill anyone.

Even Liang Lu's father, Liang Qunfeng, died because he was too ashamed to live in the world and chose to take his own life.

now.

The first person to die a violent death has appeared!

Moreover, he is Chen Tai, a relatively important character in the original series of Crazy Drama.

Known as Uncle Tai, he is well-known for his shrewdness and opportunism.

Despite Zhao Ruilong's plan to defy fate.

Chen Tai of Jinghai is a minor, insignificant figure.

However, his death still shocked Zhao Ruilong quite a bit.

This made Zhao Ruilong realize that murder for money was not just a joke.

The Gao brothers are really ruthless!

But think about it.

Who is Gao Qiqiang?

Many people in Jinghai, including Li Xiang and An Xin, are unaware of this, but Zhao Ruilong, as a time traveler, knows it very well.

Gao Qiqiang was a ruthless man who dared to fight Xu Jiang, one of the former underground bosses of Jinghai, and eventually shot him to death while remaining at large.

Moreover, Gao Qiqiang also married Chen Shuting, the wife of Bai Jiangbo, another underground tycoon in Jinghai, and became Chen Tai's godfather.

He killed a powerful figure in the underworld, married another powerful figure's wife, and even became the godfather of a veteran underworld figure...

How many people in the world could do that?

But Gao Qiqiang did just that.

The key point is that he was once just a fishmonger who hadn't received much formal education!

In the original series, after Chen Tai was sidelined and Zhao Lidong got involved, he became more and more successful, and his methods became increasingly ruthless.

Until the crackdown on organized crime, An Xin, who had been under surveillance for many years, was finally taken down with the help of Lao Mo's daughter, Huang Yao.

As for his younger brother, Gao Qisheng...

Knowing the plot well, Zhao Ruilong was even more aware that this guy was even more ruthless.

His college classmate Cao Bin spoke rudely and hurt his self-esteem, but asking him to do his homework for three years and giving him a meal was, after all, a gesture of kindness.

Moreover, it was Cao Bin who facilitated Gao Qisheng's opening of a Xiaolingtong (a type of mobile phone service) specialty store, enabling him to meet Gong Kaijiang, the vice president of Jinghai Telecom Company. Otherwise, how could the Xiaolingtong store have opened?

But just because he mocked Gao Qisheng a few times, he made Gao Qisheng play the chicken and rabbit game in front of the hostesses, and as a result, Gao Qisheng ambushed Cao Bin from behind and smashed him half to death in the roadside bushes.

Of course, what movie fans talk about most is Li Hongwei from Mangcun.

He insulted Gao Qiqiang at the dinner table, calling him a lousy fishmonger.

Because of this remark, Gao Qisheng held a grudge.

Finally, he deliberately chose a frozen fish, chased after Li Hongwei, and smashed him so hard that he was seriously injured and eventually died.

The self-esteem of the poor is often more sensitive and fragile.

But Gao Qisheng was clearly obsessed.

Anyone who mocked the two brothers for being poor was treated as if they were to die.

He will stop at nothing to exact revenge.

of course.

Gao Qisheng was not only ruthless, but also very intelligent.

In the struggle with Xu Jiang, he was Gao Qiqiang's behind-the-scenes strategist.

Not only does he possess a strong counter-surveillance awareness, but he can also help his boss clear his name of suspicion for intercepting An Xin's vehicle, allowing Tang Xiaolong and another underling to take the blame and go to jail.

He also possesses exceptional psychological resilience, daring to disguise himself as a tutor and infiltrate the heavily guarded villa to get close to Chen Shuting and obtain crucial intelligence.

This is a ruthless person with an insatiable sense of self-esteem and extremely high intelligence.

Unfortunately, in the original drama, after becoming rich, he indulged in pleasure, partyed every night, and became ignorant and incompetent.

He didn't even understand the saying "When besieging an army, leave an opening; when a desperate enemy is cornered, do not press him too hard," and his older brother, Gao Qiqiang, who was well-versed in Sun Tzu's Art of War, had to explain it to him.

It's no wonder he couldn't realize that the technology of the PHS phone was outdated and would be phased out. Instead, he foolishly stockpiled hundreds of thousands of units, resulting in a significant financial loss. Driven by his pride, he secretly chose to sell drugs to cover his debts.

but……

It’s only 2001.

Gao Qisheng has clearly not yet become addicted to pleasure or experienced a significant decline in intelligence.

Zhao Ruilong felt that he might even have been influenced by him.

Unlike the original series, they did not develop a path dependency on success and stubbornly stick to the PHS (Personal Handyphone System) business.

He partnered with himself to sell both mobile phones and MP3 players, and also opened the Huilong chain of internet cafes, along with the sale of computers and various accessories.

Having tasted the sweet success of the collaboration, he was bound to be prepared to have people help him sell his goods in the future, unlike in the original drama where he was "successful because of Xiaolingtong, and failed because of Xiaolingtong".

In short.

The Gao brothers now.

One is ruthless and daring.

One who is intelligent, courageous and resourceful.

With the two of them working together, it's impossible for them to wait until Jinghai Construction Group has grown and expanded before trying to sideline Chen Tai.

Strike first to gain the upper hand; strike later and you'll be at their mercy!

The two brothers knew that Chen Tai was only using them.

How could they not take the initiative and launch a surprise attack?

Chen Tai clearly never imagined that the story of the farmer and the snake would play out in his life.

Moreover, this 'venomous snake' hadn't even grown up yet when it bit him to death.

As the ancients said, fortune and honor are found in danger!

"The Gao brothers, having lived in poverty for over twenty years, clearly understand this principle better than anyone else."

"Gao Qiqiang, who firmly believed that 'the bigger the storm, the more valuable the fish,' was indeed very decisive in eliminating Chen Tai early on!"

"The sooner we take action, the easier it will be to replace them. Moreover, Jinghai Construction Group is developing rapidly, and all parties do not want to see the group in trouble."

"Just like now, I certainly don't want to seek justice for Chen Tai, who is unrelated to me, and cause my second uncle to order a thorough investigation and send the Gao brothers to prison."

"Otherwise, if they both go in, Jinghai Construction Group and Qiangsheng Communications Company will inevitably fall into chaos, which will not only affect my engineering projects, but also a lot of my business."

Thinking of this, Zhao Ruilong knew.

Given Gao Qisheng's exceptionally high intelligence, he must have weighed the pros and cons and considered the risks before undertaking this task.

He was certain that he had a deep-seated interest in the Gao brothers and would only help them, not Chen Tai.

"Alright, let's do real torture!"

"They've all set their sights on me, Zhao Ruilong."

"But no matter how good you are at predicting the future, what good will it do?"

"I need you to do things for me now, so of course I can keep you around."

"When we no longer need you, wouldn't it be easy to wipe you out?"

"No matter how much he tries, it's just a fluke, at best he'll become the next richest man in Linjiang."

"But isn't the example of Su Jinyi, the last richest man in Linjiang, who collapsed so suddenly, still a stark warning?"

"Since you're courting death and digging your own graves, don't blame me for holding you accountable!"

After thinking it over, Zhao Ruilong quickly replied to his second uncle, Zhao Lidong.

For the sake of the overall situation, it is not advisable to escalate the case to a higher level or conduct a large-scale, in-depth investigation.

However, for the long term, it is necessary to conduct a covert investigation so that it may come in handy in the future.

If there is only self-interest between people, then the relationship is certainly not solid.

Betrayal is inevitable once greater benefits are offered.

On the contrary, the more fatal the vulnerability, the more loyal they become.

The plane slowly taxied to the terminal and connected with the jet bridge.

Get off the plane and exit the airport.

Zhao Xialing was extremely excited as she was truly free from her parents' control for the first time.

After quickly getting on the bus and making a phone call to let them know I was safe, I immediately asked:

"Brother Long, are you hungry?"

"Isn't that obvious? The in-flight meals on the plane are hardly enough to fill your stomach!"

Zhao Ruilong picked up his phone, ready to make a call.

"Let's go straight to the Huilong Hotel in Jingzhou. I'll have the kitchen prepare some late-night snacks."

"what?"

Zhao Xialing muttered unhappily:

"The meals at hotels are so boring! I've come all this way to Jingzhou, can't you take me to try some local snacks? Even a roadside food stall with grilled skewers and beer would be much better than a proper meal!"

At this point, Zhao Xialing leaned forward to look at Zhong Xiaoai in the passenger seat.

"Manager Zhong, what do you think?"

Zhong Xiaoai was taken aback.

She's been traveling and working so hard lately that she's exhausted and all she wants to do right now is go back to the hotel and get some sleep.

But if she really wants to have a late-night snack, she naturally prefers local specialties.

Having studied at Handong University for four years, she also knows where to find good food.

only……

When two members of the Zhao family are chatting, what right do I have to offer my opinion?

"I'll listen to Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Xialing turned around with a bored expression.

Before she could even beg or plead, Zhao Ruilong spoke up first.

"Old Wan, let's not go to the hotel, let's go to Xinshi Street intersection."

"Ok."

Wan Kui'an responded crisply and decisively.

"Brother Long, what good food is available over there? It's not like duck blood vermicelli soup or crab roe soup dumplings, is it?"

"Don't worry, there's tons of delicious food over there, enough to make you so full you can't walk!"

"Really? Then I'm going to have a big feast!"

"I advise you to take it easy; gaining weight is easy, but losing it is hard!"

"It's okay, indulge in one meal, it won't make you fat!"

……

Zhong Xiaoai was sitting in the passenger seat.

He didn't listen carefully to the conversation between Zhao Ruilong and the other person.

Upon hearing that we were going to Xinshijiekou, my thoughts immediately returned to my university days.

I remember when I was studying at Handong University, I spent a lot of time wandering the streets and alleys of Jingzhou during those four years.
