Chapter 279: Chapter 279: The Appointment with the Big Boss Zhao Ding

Zhao Leyao’s voice was indifferent, as if she was discarding something dirty.

Looking at her arrogant demeanor, Chen Dashan laughed and said, "Alright!"

"I hope Miss Zhao won’t regret this. If one day you come back and beg me to continue our cooperation, I won’t easily agree unless you offer me tremendous benefits. Miss Zhao, please think it through before speaking."

Now was a crucial time to deal with Zhao Qiqiang and the Zhao family. Without Zhao Leyao’s internal and external coordination, the situation would be much more complicated.

Chen Dashan did not want to fall out with her now.

"Humph!" Zhao Leyao snorted coldly, looking at her exquisite high heels, she sneered, "Now I have obtained all the shares under Zhao Qiqiang’s name. I have replaced Zhao Qiqiang. The goal of our cooperation has been achieved. To me, you have no value."

"Moreover, dealing with the Zhao family will also affect Zhao Ding Group. Chen Dashan, don’t get it wrong. You and I have never been on the same side."

"Alright!"

Chen Dashan nodded with a smile, his eyes sharply fixed on Zhao Leyao said, "I hope you won’t regret today’s choice. Goodbye!"

Chen Dashan finished speaking, turned around, and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Zhao Leyao suddenly spoke, Chen Dashan halted his steps. Behind him came Zhao Leyao’s cold voice, "From now on, we won’t meet or contact each other. You will only influence me. If found out, it will be hard for me in the Zhao family."

Chen Dashan directly pulled open the private room door and went out.

This woman, Zhao Leyao, would eventually kneel and beg for his cooperation!

...

At this moment, in the Zhao family’s mansion.

Qin Lan paced constantly in the living room, urging Zhao Ding, "Hurry and call your mentor. Qiqiang is in such a state, severely injured, and the child is in a detention center, which is not a place for a human. You are really heartless as his father!"

"Is Qiqiang not your son?"

Qin Lan continually pressured Zhao Ding, hoping he would quickly get their son out.

Zhao Ding sat on the leather sofa, staring at his phone, unsure what he was thinking about. Qin Lan, seeing she was talking to herself, angrily rushed up, grabbed Zhao Ding’s clothes, and shook him, saying, "Did you hear me? Your Old Zhao family is going extinct, and you can still sit tight. Qiqiang is your son, he has been filial and sensible since childhood. What could he have done?"

"Those times, wasn’t it always those insensitive people bullying him? As one of the top figures in Furong County, can you let others ruin your son? Are you cowardly or not?"

Qin Lan cried like pear blossoms in the rain, Zhao Ding frowned tightly, sighed helplessly, and said, "Alright, I understand!"

"I’m trying to think of a solution, but things are different now. We have to consider many aspects. If we don’t handle it well, we will face utter ruin. Not just losing my official status, but even Qiqiang will spend the rest of his life behind bars."

Qin Lan was stunned. She hadn’t thought her son could end up in jail even with Zhao Ding to rely on.

"Now there’s only one way. We have to get the plaintiff on Chen Dashan’s side to withdraw the lawsuit. If not, we need someone to take the fall. I don’t believe there’s anyone in this world who wouldn’t take money!" Zhao Ding said slowly. Qin Lan’s eyes lit up immediately, "This is a good idea. The sooner Qiqiang is out, the better. In that hellish place like the detention center, the child’s wounds can easily get infected. We only have this one son. If anything happens to him, I don’t want to live either."

"As for finding a fall guy, isn’t this something we are familiar with? Just leave it to the butler. These poor people would be grateful to get such a chance to get rich!"

Qin Lan said condescendingly.

Zhao Ding wasn’t surprised by her attitude and dared not say much. He sighed, "Also, there’s the case of Qiqiang kidnapping Zhou Hui. Chen Dashan’s lawyer has evidence. Qiqiang brought a gun for the kidnapping, which is extremely serious. Now, only if Chen Dashan withdraws the lawsuit can we quell this storm. We need Chen Dashan to face the media and admit he fabricated everything, saying it has nothing to do with us."

Chen Dashan?

Qin Lan’s eyes widened, "How is this still related to that scum? What are you planning to do now?"

"Meet Chen Dashan’s conditions, stabilize him first, and have him withdraw the lawsuit and apologize." Zhao Ding hadn’t finished speaking when Qin Lan exclaimed, standing up from the sofa, "What?"

"Beg him? Zhao Ding, he is the one who’s trying to cut off your lineage. Instead of seeking revenge, you want to beg him? If I were you, I’d have him killed, make sure he dies in the street!"

"There’s no explaining it to you!"

Zhao Ding, annoyed, left her standing there and walked away.

He called his secretary as soon as he left, "Xiao Li, could you investigate Chen Dashan for me? And get his personal phone number. Yes, it’s urgent, get it for me immediately!"

...

In recent days, Chen Dashan had been controlling Peng Hu, Han Yifei, Wu Hongling, and others over the phone while staying at home with Zhou Hui and Qi Shuzhu.

Both were frightened, with Zhou Hui developing a high fever the next day, and Qi Shuzhu looking exhausted.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

"Buzz buzz!"

The phone kept vibrating, and Chen Dashan quickly answered it without delay.

There were too many things these days, all relying on phone contact, not a minute to waste. Answering the call, Liu Yishou’s vigorous voice came from the other side, "Dashan."

"Uncle Liu, why are you calling me?" Chen Dashan smiled politely.

Liu Yishou on the other end sighed, "I’ve heard everything. Zhao Ding is very cunning and calculative, not an easy opponent. Plus, he has connections in the city and the provincial capital. Toppling the Zhao family is not easy. Some things are best left alone."

While Chen Dashan didn’t agree with Liu Yishou’s view, he didn’t argue with him.

He smiled, "Alright, I understand, I will consider it carefully."

Liu Yishou, satisfied, said, "It’s not that we are afraid of Zhao Ding. The saying goes, ’Common people can’t fight officials.’ Zhao Ding has deep roots after so many years, and it’s impossible to shake him without absolute power."

"I understand!"

Exchanging a few more courteous words, they hung up.

Then, more calls from Guo Dafu, Wang Shiman, Qin Hailong—all advising Chen Dashan to be cautious with Zhao Ding, to ease off if things haven’t reached a desperate point.

Though Chen Dashan agreed with their suggestions, he had already made up his mind to destroy Zhao Qiqiang and topple the Zhao family.

If he compromised now, the Zhao family’s future retaliation would be even more unscrupulous. Finding leverage against them again would be harder. The public opinion wave had started, bringing attention and heat. If Chen Dashan retreated, there might never be another chance.

"Bzz bzz..."

An unknown number.

Chen Dashan frowned, hesitated for a moment, then answered the call. A deep male voice sounded, "Is this Chen Dashan? I am Zhao Ding. I’d like to meet and talk."
