395 Marriage
The weather in the mountains could changed drastically. When Chu Ning woke up, she saw dark clouds outside the window, as if there was going to be a heavy downpour. However, it cleared up again after ten minutes.
At the same time, in M City, thousands of kilometers away from Chu Ning’s hometown, Zhou Hao was sitting in the seat of the chief of Houtu Village with a gloomy expression.
Zhao Gang stood at the side with his hands by his side, his expression respectful and without the slightest dissatisfaction.
Now, the actual person in charge of Houtu Village had become Zhou Hao, and Zhao Gang had become a puppet, a tool for Zhou Hao to pass on his messages.
!!
Just a moment ago, Zhou Hao received a call.
It was this phone call that had ruined his good mood.
The day before, Zhou Hao knew that Chu Ning had left M City. Just as he was thinking about how to deal a fatal blow to Chu Ning when she was not around, Zhou Wei called.
Chu Ning’s Soaring Clouds Group was now under his control. If Zhou Hao dared to use any underhanded means, he wouldn’t mind causing some trouble in A City.
The core of Zhou Hao’s business was located in A City, and Zhou Wei had some evidence of his crimes in A City.
Zhou Hao would not have cared if someone else had the evidence. However, if the evidence was in Zhou Wei’s hands, it would be enough to sentence Zhou Hao to a few years in prison. Zhou Wei was well aware of his weakness.
“D*** it, I’ll let you win this time. In a few years, the old man will see the gap between you and me. I’m the best heir to the Zhou family!” Although Zhou Hao was not willing to give up, he had missed this great opportunity. There might not be a next time.
However, he was even clearer that Zhou Wei was not trying to scare him. If he did not compromise, Zhou Wei would really do as he said.
In wealthy families, family ties were not considered in the battle between heirs. They all wished that their competitors would disappear from the earth.
“What’s the matter, Mr. Zhou?” Zhao Gang asked nervously.
After witnessing Zhou Hao’s ability, he had unswervingly trusted and carried out any order from Zhou Hao.
Besides, Zhou Hao had previously told Zhao Gang that he would leave M City soon. By then, all of Zhao Gang’s hidden problems would be solved, and he could continue to earn money as the village chief.
Now that he saw Zhou Hao’s ugly expression, Zhao Gang was a little flustered.
Once they lost the command of Zhou Hao, the core figure, the village alliance that had been gathered with great difficulty would instantly become a pile of dust.
“Behave yourself for the next few days. Don’t think about playing any tricks. That’s all. I’m going out for a while.” Zhou Hao waved his hand impatiently and stood up to leave.
“Where are you going?” Seeing that Zhou Hao was about to leave the office, Zhao Gang suddenly asked.
“Do I need to report my itinerary to you?” Zhou Hao suddenly turned around and asked Zhao Gang with a disdainful look, as if he had just heard a funny joke.
“No, I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to contact you if something happens,” Zhao Gang said with a helpless look.
“Just wait for my call. You don’t have to contact me.” Zhou Hao turned and left the office after saying that.
Zhao Gang stood by the window on the second floor. When he saw that Zhou Hao was far in the distance, he sat back down on the chair before his desk.
Then, Zhao Gang pulled out a thick book from the neatly arranged books on the table and spread it open.
The middle of the book had been hollowed out, and there was a small tapping device inside.
Zhao Gang looked at the tapping device in his hand, deep in thought.
Elsewhere.
The next morning, Cao Xing, the village chief of Laoshan Village, brought his son Cao Yun to Chu Ning’s grandfather’s house.
It was unknown what method Cao Yun had used to convince Cao Xing, but Cao Xing’s visit this time was definitely not purely to offer his condolences.
After all, he had already been there once the previous day.
“Good morning, Chief!”
Cao Xing’s arrival attracted the people who had come to offer their condolences in the morning. They all greeted Cao Xing respectfully.
Mr. And Mrs. Chu, who were in the central room, had to go out and bow when they heard this. That was the custom there. Every time an important person came, they had to bow.
Chu Ning frowned when she saw this.
Whether it was before or after she had transmigrated, the education she received informed her that there had to be mutual respect between people.
“Mom, Dad, you guys should rest. You don’t have to do this,” Chu Ning said softly, looking at her weary parents.
“Xiao Ning, listen to Mom and Dad,” Chu Zhe suddenly said.
“Alright.” After hearing her elder brother Chu Zhe’s words, she could only move aside.
However, Cao Xing’s arrogant look really made her a little unhappy.
If she had not come back to attend her grandfather’s funeral, Chu Ning would never have had any interaction with such a person.
