For Lin Zhiming, the incident of almost beating Lao Zhao to death last night was nothing at all, because in his eyes, it was completely self-defense.
Even if that old Zhao wasn't the old bastard's subordinate, he still had evil intentions, otherwise he wouldn't have blocked his car at night.
Lin Zhiming felt that there was nothing wrong with what he did, and he even felt that he was a little too soft-hearted. A year ago, when he was still on the battlefield outside the territory, under this situation, Lao Zhao's result was only
It's a dead end, regardless of whether it was a typo or not.
Therefore, Lin Zhiming did not tell anyone about this matter and went to the company as usual this morning.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Lin Zhiming suddenly received a phone number from the Imperial Capital.
A call from the Imperial Capital?
Lin Zhiming was a little curious and picked up the phone.
"Who?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"I am Zhao Shun, the steward of the Zhao family in the imperial capital, and you are Lin Zhiming?" asked the other end of the phone.
Hearing this, Lin Zhiming raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's me, what advice?"
"Since it is you, I will tell you directly that before sunset today, you will bind your hands and kneel outside the door of my Zhao family, waiting for the fate of my Zhao family." The person named Zhao Shun on the other end of the phone said.
"Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? I tied my hands and went to your Zhao family to wait for your Zhao family to be punished? Why don't you let your wife strip naked and wait for me at my door?" Lin Zhiming asked jokingly.
Hearing Lin Zhiming's words, Zhao Shun was not angry. He said, "I have given you a chance to live. It's up to you whether you can grasp it. If I don't see you outside Zhao's house before sunset today, then...
Within three days, our Zhao family will come to your door in person and send you on your way."
After saying that, the other end of the phone hung up with a bang.
"How overbearing." Lin Zhiming shook his head, and then called Dong Jian over and briefly explained what had happened before.
"Zhao Shun is one of the three major stewards of the Zhao family. I heard that he is a strong competitor for the future steward of the Zhao family. We have no conflict with Zhao Shun. Why would he make such a threatening call?" Dong Jian asked doubtfully.
.
"Two people stopped my car on my way home last night. I thought they were the old bastard's men and almost beat one of them to death. That person was called Lao Zhao, and he seemed to be a person named Zhao." Lin Zhiming
said.
"You mean, someone in the Zhao family had evil intentions towards you yesterday?" Dong Jian asked in astonishment.
"It seemed like he wanted to teach me a lesson, but I didn't ask why." Lin Zhiming shrugged and said.
"Although we are destined to be enemies of the Zhao family in the future, head of the family, it is better for us not to provoke the Zhao family now, as this will ruin our plan." Dong Jian said solemnly.
"Don't provoke me?" Lin Zhiming smiled, stood up, walked to Dong Jian and looked at Dong Jian and said, "Do you think... if I don't even dare to provoke the Zhao family, then... how can I become one of the four major families in the future?
Co-owner?"
"You are right." Dong Jian lowered his head and said.
"The Zhao family behaves as domineering as the rumors say. They called me and asked me to come to the door on my knees without mentioning anything. Is this really stupid? I treat it like a human being." Lin Zhiming said with emotion.
"They have always been like this. After all, the Zhao family was founded on martial arts, and the head of the Zhao family is one of the ten contemporary gods of war, and he also has crazy capital." Dong Jian said.
"Although it looks very arrogant, I don't think they will really let someone kill me for a little person. Now is a critical period for hegemony. Any slightest disturbance in the three big families of Zhao, Chen, and Li will be dealt with infinitely.
To expand, no one will take the initiative to stand up and be a target, so I have reason to believe that what Zhao Shun said was just to show off." Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"What you said makes some sense!" Dong Jian nodded.
"Let people release the news that I have offended the Zhao family." Lin Zhiming said.
"Oh?" Dong Jian looked at Lin Zhiming curiously.
"Don't you think this will be a good opportunity to increase our reputation?" Lin Zhiming said with a smile.
"You are trying to steal chestnuts from the fire." Dong Jian said seriously, "The Zhao family has always valued face. If this matter is not known to others, then they may suppress it for the sake of the Lin family in the imperial capital.
But once this matter is spread, it is equivalent to changing the direction and forcing them to attack you, because if they do not attack you, while your reputation will increase, their reputation will also be seriously damaged."
"Dong Jian, I have always thought that you are smarter than me, but now it seems that I am still a little bit smarter than you." Lin Zhiming patted Dong Jian on the shoulder and said, "Why should I let you take this matter?"
Spread the word, do you really think it’s just for fame?”
"Oh?" Dong Jian looked at Lin Zhiming doubtfully.
"Do as I say." Lin Zhiming did not reveal everything, but said mysteriously, "After spreading this matter, there may be unexpected gains."
"yes!!"
Not long after, under Dong Jian's arrangement, the news that Lin Zhiming had offended the Zhao family quickly spread.
Many people couldn't believe it when they first heard about it, because Lin Zhiming didn't have the capital to go crazy with the Zhao family. Unless Lin Zhiming's brain was broken, there was absolutely no way he could offend the Zhao family.
However, when news came from the Zhao family that one of the guardians of the Zhao family was seriously injured by Lin Zhiming, Zhao Shun, the manager of the Zhao family, asked Lin Zhiming to come to apologize, but he was scolded by Lin Zhiming!
This time many people were frightened.
Among the four major families, the Zhao family is definitely the one that is hardest to offend.
The Zhao family was founded on martial arts, and there are many masters in the family. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one martial arts family in the Dragon Kingdom. The head of the Zhao family is one of the ten war gods. Offending the Zhao family means that you will be subject to endless consequences.
There are constant challenges from the Zhao family. No matter how strong you are, even if you are King Wu, you will not be enough in front of the numerous strong men of the Zhao family.
Therefore, people from the other three major families are generally polite when meeting the Zhao family, and will never have a conflict unless necessary.
The result was good now. Lin Zhiming, a candidate for the future head of the Lin family, actually severely injured the Zhao family's protector and scolded the Zhao family's steward. This was really asking for death.
Zhao Shun personally said that Lin Zhiming would be sent on the road within three days!
Within three days, someone from the Zhao family will definitely come to Lin Zhiming!
With Lin Zhiming's status, perhaps the Zhao family would not kill him, but he would definitely be beaten into a fool by the Zhao family.
The Zhao family will never allow Lin Zhiming to live in this world unharmed, otherwise, the prestige that the Zhao family has built up over the years will be severely damaged!
Imperial Capital, Lin Family.
"Blind man, what do you think we should do about this matter? Lin Zhiming has offended the Zhao family. The Zhao family will definitely not let it go!" an old man asked with a gloomy face.
"The people below have told me what happened. The Zhao family's protector first took action against Lin Zhiming. Lin Zhiming was just acting in self-defense." The blind man said expressionlessly while sitting on the chair, his empty eyes filled with emotion.
With any color, it is like a black hole.
"Since it was self-defense, why did he offend Zhao Shun? Wouldn't it be better if he reported the matter to us and we helped him stand up for it?" asked the old man from before.
"Zhao Shun called him and asked him to tie his hands and come to plead guilty without even telling him the reason. If it were all of you here, who among you would be able to swallow this breath?" the blind man asked, looking around.
There were several old men sitting around him. They were all wearing uniform clothes and had a badge hanging on their chest. The badge had a pattern of a tree.
"No matter what, the Zhao family can't swallow this breath now, and we have to give them an explanation. I suggest that Lin Zhiming's candidacy be cancelled." Someone said.
"If we have to punish our own people just because the Zhao family can't breathe, then the Lin family can just merge into the Zhao family. Why do we still have to fight for hegemony?" asked the blind man.
"Then what do you think we should do about this matter? We should calm down the Zhao family's anger, right?" someone said.
"You all claim to be smart, but none of you can think of what Lin Zhiming wants. Even your courage is not as good as Lin Zhiming's. It's so disappointing." The blind man sighed and shook his head.
"What is Lin Zhiming thinking? What is he thinking?" someone asked.
"Lin Zhiming took the initiative to let people spread this matter. Why did he let people spread this matter? Can any of you understand?" asked the blind man.
Several people present looked at each other and saw the shock on each other's faces. They did not expect that Lin Zhiming would take the initiative to spread the news.
"Go and understand for yourself. Listen to me. Don't stay in this shabby house all the time. Go out for a walk more often. I'm going to chat with the little fat guy from the Zhao family. I haven't seen him for some years. Last time
When I met him, he was not the head of the Zhao family yet..." The blind man muttered, leaning on a cane, and left tremblingly, leaving behind a lot of confused faces.
Strait City, Lijia.
"Haha, great, great! Lin Zhiming, I'll see how you die this time!!" Li Bin, who had just received the news, shouted excitedly.
"Thanks to Lao Zhao for this matter, I am going to Strait City to visit Lao Zhao right away. You can rest at home and rest peacefully, just wait for the good news!" Li Jingguo said.
"I know, Dad!" Li Bin nodded excitedly, as if he had seen Lin Zhiming beaten to death by the Zhao family. In his opinion, Lin Zhiming, who had offended the Zhao family, would only die.
Lin Group.
"You were so uncool this time and offended the Zhao family. Even I can't help you!" Lin Cairong's urgent voice came from Lin Zhiming's cell phone.
Lin Zhiming sat on a chair, crossed his legs and looked at the sun outside the window and said, "I heard that your people have not made any progress on the Expo project? Don't really let me win that project. Then you will
What a big loss.”
"You're going to be doomed, so what's the point of talking about this?" Lin Cairong asked angrily.
"It's over? Why didn't I know that I was going to be over?" Lin Zhiming asked with a smile.
"For offending the Zhao family, how long do you think you can keep dancing?" Lin Cairong asked.
"It's impossible to tell." Lin Zhiming said.
"Why can't you lower your head? As long as you lower your head and admit your mistake, this matter won't be as bad as it is now!" Lin Cairong said in a tone of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel.
"I have bowed my head for twenty-eight years. The moment I raised my head, I told myself that I would never bow to anyone again in this life." Lin Zhiming said lightly.
