C433 Undercurrents Were Brewing
In the end, Soong Lin and the others didn't manage to finish their welcome meal.0
A waiter from Bi Yuntian came in with exquisite dishes. Just as he was about to serve the dishes, Soong Lin waved his hand to stop him and said, "No more!" As he said that, after saying that, he and Chen Zhi took the lead and left dejectedly. Before they left, when Soong Lin was paying the bill, he also finished the dishes on Hao Chuan's table. He wanted to make up for it.
After Soong Lin and Chen Zhi left, his best friends and second generations looked at each other and sighed in their hearts. They knew they wouldn't be able to eat this meal, so these arrogant second generation officials had no choice but to leave with their tails between their legs.
They were all born and raised in the capital. Their parents and relatives were in the capital. They either had official positions or had money and status. However, in their circle, Soong Lin was the core. Now, even Soong Lin did not dare to provoke Hao Chuan, and no one else dared to cause trouble for him. Besides Hao Chuan, Lan Lingxue was also present. They couldn't afford to offend a single Hao Chuan, not to mention Lan Lingxue, who had an even more profound and complicated background in the capital.
After this incident, Hao Chuan's name once again spread among the second generation of the capital, and it was not only so. In the capital, there were also people who revealed that young master Zhao Donghai of the Zhao family had been beaten up by Hao Chuan in Hu's Villa. This made people even more curious about Hao Chuan, and the fear in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.
After all, whether it was Soong Lin or Zhao Donghai, they were both famous young masters in the capital. These two young masters were under Hao Chuan's name, but they didn't dare to speak too loudly about it. This was enough to prove a lot of things.
...
Zhao family in the capital.
"Dong Hai, you are a member of our Zhao family. Every action of yours represents the Zhao family. Why didn't you report this to your family immediately after this incident happened? Humph, this Hao Chuan... We can't let him live!" The person who spoke to Zhao Donghai was a middle-aged man close to 50 years old. He was Zhao Donghai's uncle, and he had a complicated relationship with the family in the capital. He was definitely a big shot who could cause a stir with just a stamp of his foot.
His facial expression was very ugly. In the past two days, the news of the young master of Soong family, Soong Lin, admitting defeat and apologizing to Hao Chuan had spread. Someone had also revealed the incident of Zhao Donghai being beaten up by Hao Chuan in Hu's Villa. The process was also described in detail. Once this incident was revealed, it would have a very bad impact on the reputation of the Zhao family.
Although Zhao Donghai had a respectful expression on his face in front of his big uncle, at this moment, his heart was filled with fury. This matter was too disgraceful. He had already used his connections to suppress it. Who was the one who was so bold as to expose this matter?
In this generation's inheritance war, Zhao Donghai had already obtained a huge advantage. He had basically suppressed some of his fellow competitors. Logically speaking, the position of the next successor of the family... However, as this matter was exposed, a new change occurred in the situation.
This change was definitely a great thing for Zhao Donghai's competitors, but for Zhao Donghai, it was simply too terrible.
In the end, the source was still Hao Chuan. If it wasn't for Hao Chuan, there wouldn't have been so many troublesome things happening. Zhao Donghai's face darkened, but what his uncle said... It made Zhao Donghai feel a trace of joy in his heart. He raised his head and looked at his big uncle. His gaze was very discerning as he said, "Eldest uncle. Indeed, Hao Chuan could not be left alive, but Hao Chuan was a person who... According to my understanding, there are still some small tricks to deal with Hao Chuan. We, the Zhao family, should stay out of it for now. I have my own plans. "
"Oh? Tell me what you think." Zhao Donghai's uncle looked coldly at Zhao Donghai. He had always thought highly of Zhao Donghai. However, after this shameful scandal, recently, within the family, many voices of dissent regarding Zhao Donghai's successor appeared. He also hoped that Zhao Donghai would be able to regain his face by himself.
Obviously, Zhao Donghai already had an idea in his heart. He looked at his big uncle with a pair of bright eyes. A vicious expression appeared on his face and he said, "We can cause trouble from the east. After all, in this matter, everyone in the capital knew that Lan Lingxue was involved. Lan Lingxue was the exclusive property of the young master, and Hao Chuan dared to approach her without a doubt. This matter must have already spread to the young master's side. Humph. If the young master attacked, with his ability and background, It's only a matter of time before I deal with Hao Chuan."
"En, there's still room for maneuver." Zhao Donghai's uncle's eyes sparkled. He had already received the news that the young master had already boarded the return flight. Logically speaking, the matter that the young master had done... It was too important, there was no time at all. However, the young master had rushed back to the capital in such a hurry. The answer was obvious. He should have received the news as well. Given the young master's character and strength, he would definitely not allow anyone to have designs on Lan Lingxue.
Somewhere in private manor in the capital, this was one of the properties of one of the major families in the ocean, the Xu Family. At this moment, Hao Chuan and Xu Chao were lying on the deck chair, drinking famous wine and basking in the sun. They looked incomparably satisfied.
"Boss, the next plan... I have almost finished my preparations. When the manager and Xu Long arrive, We're planning in detail. In addition... Our biggest problem now is that our foundation in the capital is too shallow. The capital is very deep. If we don't have a strong backer... We are like rootless duckweed. No matter how much money we earn... You won't be able to make a big deal out of it. "
The meaning behind Xu Chao's words was very clear. He was reminding Hao Chuan to find a reliable backer as soon as possible. In this aspect, although Xu Chao had some connections, those were the resources of the Xu Family behind him, although Xu Chao could provide some of them to Hao Chuan temporarily. As Hao Chuan's career in the capital grew bigger and bigger... Relying solely on the Xu family's resources and connections was obviously not a long-term solution.
"A backer? I am the biggest backer." Hao Chuan seemed to disapprove of Xu Chao's worries. If it was before he mastered the Ancient Martial Arts... Hao Chuan might still care about the constraints in reality, but it was different now. As his strength increased day by day, he also cared about money, power, and other things related to fame and fortune. Hao Chuan didn't think too much of it anymore.
No matter how much power he had, or how high his seat was... There would always be people on top who would bet on the money and make a lot of money. It would just become a bunch of meaningless numbers. Hao Chuan now... He had already passed the stage of pursuing wealth, fame, and fortune. What he valued more now was his own strength. In Hao Chuan's opinion, after the system gave him the new task of getting in touch with the Ancient Martial Arts, the direction of his goal had changed.
As for Hao Chuan, the reason he stayed in the capital was because the water in the capital was deep enough. Perhaps he would find the way to the Ancient Martial Arts World here?
