A man in Handong: living off Zhong Xiaoai

On the other side of Hong Kong, Ni Kun's subordinate, Wen Zheng, walked out of his office.

At this moment, a man with several henchmen approached Wen Zheng with a smile.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Wen Zheng? I've heard so much about you! I'm Wu Zhiwei, the Smiling Tiger of Tung Sing. Haha, it's my great honor to meet you here today! I'm so glad to get to know you!"

Wen Zheng looked at the smiling tiger in front of him with a puzzled expression.

"Dongxing? I've never really gotten to know anyone from Dongxing, we've always kept to ourselves. I wonder what brings you here, Smiling Tiger, to see me, Wen Zheng?"

Upon hearing Wen Zheng's words, Smiling Tiger smiled slightly and then threw a schoolbag on the ground in front of Wen Zheng.

"Haha, Mr. Wenzheng, I saw you were so busy just now, so I took the liberty of picking up your child from school. He's having a blast with me now, so don't worry, I'll take good care of him, haha!"

Upon hearing what the smiling tiger said, Wen Zheng's eyes widened.

"Smiling tiger, what did you say?! What have you done to my child?! If you dare to cause trouble, I, Wen Zheng, will never let you get away with this!"

The smiling tiger's lips curled up slightly, his expression one of utter contempt.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wenzheng. Your wife is also there; she went to pick up the child. I'll invite them to my place while I'm there, haha! Don't worry, I'll treat them well and make sure they and their child are safe and sound, haha!"

As he spoke, Smiling Tiger took out his phone and held it in front of Wen Zheng.

"Oh! By the way, Mr. Wenzheng, your wife seems to have something to say to you. Would you like to take the phone? Haha, don't worry, I just want you three to have a family reunion and chat, nothing more, haha!"

Seeing this, Wen Zheng took a deep breath and then picked up the phone.

"Wife! How are you?! Where are you?! You smiling tiger, you bastard, let my wife and children go! If you have any problems, come at me!"

At that moment, Wen Zheng heard his wife's voice coming from his phone.

"Husband, Mr. Ni... he's gone... You, you must support his second son, Chen Yongren, as the head of the household! Only then can my son and I... we be safe... Waaah, I'm so scared, so scared we'll never see you again..."

Wen Zheng was very worried at this moment. His mind was in turmoil. How could his wife say that Mr. Ni was dead?

Moreover, I have never heard of Mr. Ni having a second son!

"Honey! What are you saying?! Where are you?! Don't scare me, tell me where you are, I'm coming right now!"

At that moment, Wen Zheng's phone suddenly lost signal...

Smiling Tiger walked up with a smile and snatched the phone from Wen Zheng's hand.

“Look at your wife, she’s doing very well! Don’t worry, I won’t mistreat them. If you want to know where she is, you should listen to your wife! Haha, only by listening to your wife can you see her and your precious son! Do you understand, Mr. Wenzheng?”

Wen Zheng suddenly lost all his strength, and his face turned completely pale.

"Mr. Ni...is he really dead? This...how is this possible...If it's true, I...I will support that man named Chen Yongren to take over as the head of the Ni family. I just beg you, Smiling Tiger, release my wife and children, they are innocent..."

Upon hearing Wen Zheng's words, Smiling Tiger chuckled and patted Wen Zheng on the shoulder.

"Don't misunderstand, Mr. Wenzheng! I really just invited your wife and child to my house as guests, there's absolutely no other intention. Once Chen Yongren successfully takes over the leadership position, I guarantee I will send your wife and child back to you safe and sound, I will never break my promise! Haha, you can rest assured!"

Wen Zheng closed his eyes tightly, because he knew very well that he had no choice at all.

On the road in Hong Kong, Ni Yongxiao sat in his car.

　1.7 Ni Yongxiao called Chen Yongren immediately after separating from Ni Kun.

After the call was connected, Ni Yongxiao smiled and said.

"Hey, Ah Ren? It's me, big brother. We haven't been in touch much lately, and I wanted to talk to you. Do you have some time?"

Chen Yongren was driving with Mary just now, and he has just gotten out of Mary's car.

"Brother, you called me? What's up? I'm doing fine here, everything's going smoothly. Is there anything I can help you with, or do you just want to chat?"

As Chen Yongren spoke, he glanced at his watch to check the time and see if Liu Jianming had already made his move.

Just as Ni Yongxiao was about to speak, a gunshot suddenly rang out from the street.

Chapter 536 Why do you need to wear makeup when you're so good-looking?

Upon hearing the gunshot, Ni Yongxiao instinctively turned around from his car and saw chaos on the street.

At that moment, Chen Yongren, on the other end of the phone, also heard a gunshot from Ni Yongxiao's side.

"Brother, do you live on the same street as Dad?"

Upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, and hearing the gunshot just now, Ni Yongxiao reacted instantly, his expression one of utter shock.

"How...how did you know that Dad and I were on the same street? What...what did you do, Ah Ren? You shouldn't know this! What exactly did you do behind my back?"

Upon hearing Ni Yongxiao's words, Chen Yongren knew that Liu Jianming had succeeded. He looked at the bathroom where Mary was taking a shower and smiled.

After doing some work on his phone, he continued speaking to Ni Yongxiao.

“Mr. Ni, I heard that your mother and your family are enjoying the sun and sand in Hollywood, the United States right now. I specially asked a friend to take some beautiful photos of them. I just sent them to you. Take a look and see if you like them. We're brothers, this little thing is a piece of cake.”

Upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, Ni Yongxiao's eyes widened. Chen Yongren had actually addressed him as Mr. Ni and mentioned his family.

At this moment, Ni Yongxiao looked at his phone and found that his whole family was all together.

"Ah Ren, you're my own brother! We're family! Why did you do this? What are you thinking? What you're doing is putting everyone in danger, do you know that?"

When Chen Yongren heard the panicked Ni Yongxiao on the phone, he knew that his plan had succeeded, or rather, the plan of the big shot behind Huang Zhicheng had succeeded.

However, Ni Yongxiao's family was not controlled by Chen Yongren, but by Huang Zhicheng's men, who were actually Han Chen's group.

"Brother? My surname is Chen, and yours is Ni. How could we be brothers? You're enjoying a life of luxury in that Ni family villa, while my mother and I are struggling in the slums. When have I ever had a brother like you? Mr. Ni, Ni Kun is no longer here, and the safety of your family is in the hands of my friend. So, my request is simple: if you still consider me your brother, hand over the Ni family to me. If not, then your family is nothing special to me. Accidents are always inevitable."

Upon hearing Chen Yongren's words, Ni Yongxiao finally understood what he meant.

He turned back to look at the direction where the gunshots had come from and saw that a large number of police officers were already rushing there.

Ni Yongxiao was filled with mixed feelings and took a deep breath.

“Ah Ren, I’ve always treated you like my own brother. How could you do something like this just for the sake of being the head of the Ni family?! Do you know how much Dad has always loved you? How could you treat him and our family like this?”

Chen Yongren didn't want to argue with Ni Yongxiao at this moment, because he had grown up with his mother since birth and even took her surname.

Having lived for so long without ever having met him, he didn't think Ni Yongxiao's words were meaningful.

“Mr. Ni, I’ve made myself clear enough. Give me a definite answer now about your choice. That way, I can tell my friends in America what to do next. Our time is precious; let’s not waste it on these pointless family entanglements.”

Ni Yongxiao was well aware of what he was facing. He knew he had already lost, and there was no point in doing anything now.

"Alright, Ah Ren, I promise you, I'll support you in becoming the next head of the Ni family. Are you satisfied now? I only ask that my family in America be safe and sound and that they return to Hong Kong as soon as possible. Let's put an end to our feud here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren knew that he had won his game, or rather, the game played by Huang Zhicheng's "friend" behind the scenes.

"Once I'm actually in charge of the Ni family, we'll see how I feel. Maybe if I'm in a good mood, I'll immediately bring your family back, and the two of us brothers can sit down and have some tea and a chat."

At this point, Chen Yongren hung up the phone.

Almost at the same time, an ambulance sped past Ni Yongxiao.

In the provincial party committee compound of Handong Province, at the home of Jing Liang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee.

Jingliang was busy preparing the dishes.

"Little sister, haven't you been longing to see Governor Qi? He's almost here, so hurry up and help me get these dishes out of here! Honestly, stop dawdling at a time like this, hurry up!"

Jing Tian is putting on makeup right now.

"What? I'm busy right now, can't you see? Governor Qi will be here soon, and I need to get ready quickly to make a good impression. Please don't cause any more trouble, okay?"

Jingliang looked at the dishes he had prepared, but no one was there to help him carry them out, and he looked helpless.

Just then, the doorbell rang at Jingliang's house.

Upon hearing this, Jing Liang sighed deeply.

"697, it's all over, it's all over! Come out now! Governor Qi and his wife have arrived! Why are you still dawdling in there? Hurry up, come out and greet them!"

Upon hearing her brother's words, Jing Tian immediately pouted.

"What? Didn't we agree that we would only invite Governor Qi? Why is he bringing his wife along? I wasn't prepared to welcome either of you. This is really troublesome."

After saying this, Jing Tian thought for a moment.

"Governor Qi's wife? You mean Xiao Ai? Good heavens, I haven't seen Xiao Ai in so long!"

Jing Liang was starting to get a little anxious.

"It's Zhong Xiaoai! Governor Qi is Old Zhong's son-in-law, and his wife is none other than your old friend, Zhong Xiaoai! Hurry up and come out here, don't keep her waiting outside, it's so impolite!"

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian quickly applied some makeup and then ran out.

"Here I am, here I am! Honestly, stop rushing me!"

When Jingliang saw his younger sister come out, he looked utterly helpless.

"You're already an actress, and you're so good-looking. You're beautiful even without makeup, so why do you insist on wearing makeup? It's really incomprehensible. Hurry up, the customers are waiting!"

Chapter 537 I'll go pack my bags now

Jing Liang opened the door impatiently, and at that moment, Qi Tongwei walked in, arm in arm with Zhong Xiaoai.

"Haha, Secretary Jing, it seems we've arrived a bit early? Hope we haven't disturbed your preparations? Oh dear, I'm really looking forward to today's gathering. It's truly an honor to spend time with you and Miss Jing Tian!"

As Qi Tongwei spoke, he glanced at Jing Tian, ​​who seemed a little embarrassed.

Qi Tongwei thought to himself, "I almost got her into trouble last time, and this girl is still so shy when she sees me?"

Seeing this, Jing Liang quickly welcomed Qi Tongwei and Zhong Xiaoai into the house, and then pointed to a table full of dishes.

"Governor Qi, I've been eagerly anticipating today's gathering! I've prepared a huge feast to welcome you and your wife, but I don't know if it will suit your taste. Oh, and I'm currently busy cooking a few hot dishes in the kitchen. Sister, you chat with Governor Qi and your wife for a bit, I'll join you shortly, so the guests don't get bored!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jingliang hurriedly ran to the kitchen.

After Jing Liang left, Zhong Xiaoai noticed that Jing Tian was staring at Qi Tongwei, his face flushed and he looked a little shy.

"Jingtian, it's been so long since we last saw each other! I've missed you so much! I hope your father and grandfather are still in good health? Every time I think about the days we played together when we were little, my heart warms up. It's so great to be able to get together with you all today!"

Jing Tian was still a little hesitant after hearing this, but Zhong Xiaoai could see that she was secretly pleased when she saw Qi Tongwei.

"Xiao Ai, time really flies. I was a few years older than you back then, and now you're already married and have a family, while I'm still single. It's a little embarrassing..."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai glanced at Qi Tongwei beside her and then smiled.

"What's there to be afraid of? We're such good friends. If you really like Qi Tongwei's type, it's no problem for me to lend him to you for a few days!"

Qi Tongwei's face turned pale upon hearing this. What do you mean, it's okay to lend yourself to someone for a few days? Did you even ask me if it was okay?

Upon hearing this, Jing Tian lowered his head, blushed, and smiled slightly.

"Really? Xiao Ai, you've gone a bit too far with this joke, haven't you? But you know I've always been a very serious person; whatever you say, I'll believe it. Hehe, don't regret it later!"
