Chapter 90: Chapter 090: Tonight at Eight, I Wait for Him
Jiangzhong City, Chen Xiang Villa District!
This area is almost a gathering place for the tycoons of Jiangzhong City. Most of the billionaires in the city own a villa here!
In villa number nine, a man in his twenties, who could still be considered handsome, sat on a European-style long sofa.
This man was Zhao Changsheng, the only son of Zhao Wusheng, a typical second-generation rich. In this tiny patch of Jiangzhong City, Zhao Wusheng was definitely the big brother within the circle of the privileged!
This kind of big brother had much more value than the average big shot, as the power and connections accumulated by his ancestors benefitted them, and wearing this crown of authority that wasn’t theirs by right, they inadvertently cultivated a subtle aura of superiority.
This villa was a gift to Zhao Changsheng, and of course, the reason someone gifted Zhao Changsheng a villa had to do with his identity.
As the only son of Zhao Wusheng, Zhao Changsheng was always very careful. He understood the principle of "a full moon wanes, water overflows when full," so even though someone had gifted him a villa, he dared not put his name on the property deed.
In the eyes of ordinary people, so-called spoiled heirs are those arrogant and domineering types who bully men and women and walk with their noses in the air, much like Mu Rulin. However, that is not always the case. It’s not that there aren’t heirs who act that way, there are, but they are few!
Most spoiled heirs do not have this kind of bad trait. They are well-educated, whether in terms of academic credentials, knowledge, social experience, or the art of strategy. They understand much more than ordinary people, they know the intricacies of power, and they understand the drawbacks of arrogance too well.
They are also greedy and ambitious and must obtain what they desire but will not seize it openly. They advocate for gentle and unobtrusive methods, achieving their goals silently without flaunting or showing off, and certainly never acting as though they are third in line to heaven and earth.
On the sofa diagonally across from Zhao Changsheng sat another young man whose face was slightly pale and somber.
"Brother Mu, I’ve looked into the matter you asked me to investigate, and it mostly matches what you said," said Zhao Changsheng, his face wearing a gentle smile. "It seems it is Little Ninth Brother who is operating in the shadows in Jiangzhong City now!"
"However, what’s interesting is that with my capabilities in Jiangzhong City, I actually can’t find out what the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Little Ninth Brother is!"
"It really is intriguing; even with your capabilities, you can’t uncover the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and this Little Ninth," Mu Tiange commented with an amused expression.
"Brother Mu, pardon me for asking a question I shouldn’t!"
"Speak freely, Changsheng!"
"Brother Mu, what exactly is your grudge against Ye Xunhuan that you would go to such lengths to investigate him?" Zhao Changsheng asked, puzzled.
When Mu Tiange asked him to help investigate Ye Xunhuan, Zhao Changsheng felt confused; he couldn’t understand why Mu Tiange was so concerned about this man, Ye Xunhuan.
"It’s embarrassing to say!" Mu Tiange sighed softly. "He was once my junior, always pestering your sister-in-law. Recently, she came to Jiangzhong City, and somehow, they met again, and that kid is pestering your sister-in-law once more..."
Hearing Mu Tiange’s explanation, understanding slowly dawned on Zhao Changsheng’s face. "No wonder, Brother Mu, you are so concerned!"
"However, Brother Mu, you might find it difficult to touch Ye Xunhuan!"
"Let’s hear it!"
"Brother Mu, as I just mentioned, it seems that Ye Xunhuan is related to Little Ninth, who, despite not having been in Jiangzhong City for long, has secured a place for himself with unquestionable means," Zhao Changsheng spoke softly. "Furthermore, after last night’s event, you saw for yourself, countless people were calling my father!"
"Is this the kind of power that a typical big shot has?"
Mu Tiange fell silent.
Zhao Changsheng was right; this indeed wasn’t the kind of power and methods a typical big shot possesses.
"And now, Little Ninth is basically the underground emperor of Jiangzhong City, covering the sky with one hand. Dealing with someone sneakily is very hard to hide from Little Ninth’s eyes, and if it comes down to an open confrontation..." Zhao Changsheng didn’t continue, but the implication was clear!
"Does Changsheng know this Little Nine?"
"I don’t!" Zhao Changsheng shook his head and said, "I have only heard of him but haven’t met him in person."
"However, if Brother Mu would like to meet him, I can think of a way!"
"Then I’ll have to trouble Changsheng!"
Afterward, Mu Tiange talked with Zhao Changsheng for a while before leaving Chen Xiang Villa.
As soon as he left the villa, Zhao Changsheng sneered, "He’s courting death, trying to mess with Brother Huan!"
Just as Zhao Changsheng finished speaking, a heavy sound of footsteps slowly came from the stairwell.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Changsheng immediately turned his head towards the stairwell and suddenly, a tall figure came into his view!
"Brother Nine..." Zhao Changsheng hurriedly said respectfully.
Little Nine was actually in the villa, and he was in cahoots with Zhao Changsheng?
And yet, Mu Tiange was seeking help from Little Nine.
Perhaps Mu Tiange never dreamed that Zhao Changsheng would be one of Little Nine’s men, right?
But then again, who would have thought that the top heir of Jiangzhong City could be associated with an underworld boss?
This was indeed very dramatic!
Not just Mu Tiange, but others probably couldn’t imagine either that Zhao Changsheng was actually one of Little Nine’s top generals, his status on par with Ma Yingjun, yet due to his identity, Zhao Changsheng seldom appeared in public unless Little Nine had major plans.
Little Nine nodded calmly, "What did he say?"
"He said that Brother Huan is entangling with Su Guyan and wants to teach Brother Huan a lesson. Moreover, he wants to meet with you."
Little Nine’s lips curved slightly, "Since he wants to play, let’s give him a good game. On this turf, if anyone wants to mess with Brother Huan, I will make him crawl out of here on his knees!"
As he spoke, Little Nine stretched out his tongue and lightly licked his somewhat dry lips.
Seeing this, Zhao Changsheng’s heart trembled slightly; he knew this was a sign that Little Nine was angry!
"Brother Nine, this Mu Tiange is not simple; if we play him too hard, I fear..."
"Changsheng, he’s not simple, you think I am simple?" Little Nine said with a faint smile!
Zhao Changsheng fell silent. Was Little Nine simple?
The answer was definite—Little Nine was not simple. And when he had the fortune to witness Little Nine’s frightening presence while studying abroad, Zhao Changsheng immediately became Little Nine’s follower after a chance encounter in Jiangzhong City!
Intuition told Zhao Changsheng that following the man before him was better than relying on his ancestral blessings!
"Tonight at eight, I’ll wait for him!"
