Chapter 58 The first step starts with being a son-in-law! (Middle)(1/2)
According to the villagers, the foreign boss came from Guili. Although they did not know the boss's full name, at least the surname was "Zhao".
Moreover, after the mine was banned from mining on the grounds of "safety risks", the boss was forced to close the mines. At the same time, business naturally plummeted. Many miners lost their jobs and returned to the village. They learned from the miners that their boss still owed wages but did not pay, saying that he was taking the money to Yueyuan Island, hoping to establish a relationship and think of a solution.
When he heard the first two posts, Liao Zixuan was almost certain that the so-called foreign boss was Zhao Jie on the Astorlogis.
As for the last one, it is completely in line with the position of Yueyuan Island, but also the style of running away after bankruptcy. Judging from Zhao Jie's self-reported experience, it is obviously not the first time.
No wonder...
Through the first week of jailbreak, we can find that Zhao Jie still has a lot of energy on Qiandao. However, when he was on the Astorlogis, Uncle Guili acted very desperately, as if he was very anxious to get a lot of money, and he tried every means to get close to Luzi. This is also the reason why Zhao Jie approached Vivian.
In the end, the reason is that there is still some here.
Liao Zixuan had to sigh again that Qiandao is really small, of course it may also be...the magic of fate?
He said he wanted to find Zhao Jie, but before that, Liao Zixuan had not forgotten the large amount of saltpeter stolen goods in the cargo space of the cabin. Just like during the second week, all of them were included in the backpack space, and Liao Zixuan returned to the deck level.
Next, the progress of all things was exactly the same as what we experienced in the previous two "cycles".
Yosuke Sakai surrounded the Astorologis with the people he pursued, hoping to falsely accuse and seize power on the charge of smuggling saltpeter, and use saltpeter to create an explosion to expand the situation.
Unfortunately, after searching the cargo hold at the bottom of the ship, Sakai Yosuke, like Shishiji, chose to replace him with other charges and still took Luzi away. Moreover, Liao Zixuan also learned about it from the Liudao Luosha of the second week. This kid would apply for a wanted order for Vivian in the future, which can be said to be a complete enemy camp figure.
However, Liao Zixuan is still unable to deal with such a small character for the time being, so let him jump around for a while. At present, his main goal is to conquer the big boss of the Water God.
Huh... Huh...
After Yosuke Sakai and his group left, the passengers on the Astorlogis quickly regained their freedom and moved their luggage away.
The same is true for Zhao Jie. It can be seen that the middle-aged uncle has gained weight and does not pay much attention to exercising. It seems particularly difficult to drag a few of his suitcases from the room cabin.
And at this time...
"Uncle! I'll help you!" Zhao Jie, who was panting, suddenly heard a chorus from behind him.
When I turned around, I found that it was a handsome young man with a bright smile at him, saying hello as if he was very kind and acquaintance.
Before he could speak in confusion, the young man took the lead and carried his heavy suitcases with great ease.
"Go away, why are you still standing there? Or is there anything else?"
"Stop! Young man, you... wait for me!" Zhao Jie finally found the opportunity to interrupt from the strange enthusiasm of the young man.
"Young man, put the thing down first, hey, let it go!"
"It's okay, Uncle Zhao, I'm not tired. You say, I'll listen."
you...!
Zhao Jie was a little angry at first. No matter who suddenly got his luggage in his hand, he would do this. But when he looked at Liao Zixuan with a big box in one hand, he still talked to him normally without blushing. Even when he lifted it up, he was like he had no weight. Zhao Jie chose to follow his heart.
"That...young man, who are you? Why are you called Uncle Zhao? Do we know each other?" Zhao Jie looked at the young man carefully again and finally couldn't help asking.
At the same time, his brain was also running rapidly. As a shrewd businessman, Zhao Jie boarded the Astorlogis just for communication. Naturally, the passengers on the ship did not know all the people, but at least they looked familiar. Therefore, he was very sure that the young man was not the original passenger on the ship, which was one of the doubts.
Secondly, the other party knew his surname, and he looked like he was coming straight towards him. Although he seemed to be helping enthusiastically, he actually knew what was waiting for him later. Zhao Jie, who had experienced many ups and downs, had long been an old fry, and because he had the identity of a "debtor", he was always vigilant.
only...
The young man's answer was completely beyond Zhao Jie's imagination.
"Uncle Zhao, someone once told me that after meeting you, no matter whether you recognize me or not, as long as I say the code "Kaishui Cabbage", you will definitely help me."
After Liao Zixuan lowered his voice and said in Zhao Jie's ear, when he saw the middle-aged uncle Guili, he was immediately stunned, as if his brain was down and his mind was blank, and he felt a little relieved.
The secret code of boiled water and cabbage has to be traced back to the end of the week. It was when the little girl and her group had escaped from prison. In order not to let Zhao Jie take risks with them, they proposed to separate. It was at that time that Zhao Jie told Vivian this secret code that even if others were gone, Vivian could rely on this secret code to borrow his power in Qiandao.
Now, due to time constraints, Vivian left the Astorlogis. As a stranger, Liao Zixuan was the only way to gain Zhao Jie's trust as quickly as possible.
Of course, there are not options, such as turning back into a little wolf cub in front of you, using violence directly, etc., but obviously it is not as good as this one.
It should...success?
Liao Zixuan could clearly feel that although the other party had not yet recovered from the shock, at least the warning from Zhao Jie was much less.
After almost four or five seconds, Zhao Jie swallowed the smear, and asked tremblingly with an excited and nervous expression that he was almost unable to control himself:
"Young man, can you tell me who...who told you this code?"
It's you!
Liao Zixuan wanted to say this very much, but he couldn't explain the cycle, so he had to tell another small lie.
"Xing'er." He said these two words softly to Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie explained to the little girl that the origin of the strange secret code of boiled water cabbage is precisely because it is the name of the dish that Zhao Jie's daughter Xing'er liked when she was a child.
In order not to show off, Liao Zixuan had to say this here.
But what Liao Zixuan did not expect was that he did instantly gain Zhao Jie's favorability, and even... too much overflowed!
"Xing'er! I know! Only Xing'er can say that kind of words and know this code!" Zhao Jie's face was filled with ecstasy.
It was a kind of emotion similar to meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Zhao Jie had to leave his hometown because of debt and fell overseas. His heart was already full of longing. This can be seen from the family photo that he kept in his arms and looked like a treasure.
So now he actually met someone related to his daughter, and Zhao Jie felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mind!
"Tell me quickly, Xing'er, how is Xing'er like?"
"She...has been very good."
"Have Xing'er grown taller now?"
"Uh... indeed, I'm a little shorter than me, I have a good figure, tall and plump... Cough cough, healthy!" Liao Zixuan hurriedly braked and changed his words.
If Zhao Jie had definitely noticed it, but now Zhao Jie is no longer the calculating businessman, but an empty-nest old father who is extremely eager to get information from his daughter.
Zhao Jie slapped his thighs suddenly.
"Haha! I knew, I knew! How much effort did I spend when I was chasing my child? It really improved the bloodline of my old Zhao family. I was almost taller with you... Hahaha, my daughter is so awesome!"
By the way, Zhao Jie himself only reached Liao Zixuan's chest position.
"that..."
Liao Zixuan originally wanted to get back on track, but he couldn't stand Zhao Jie's problems, like shells, bombing one by one.
"How is Xing'er's grades in school?"
"very good."
"Have you graduated successfully? I didn't stay, have you kept your grade?"
"After graduation, the teachers praised her for being smart and a rare genius."
"What did she do after she came out of school?"
"She...has been in business."
"Business...haha, I am worthy of being the seedling of my old Zhao family, just like her father! Ah! No, after that, doing business is very risky. Xing'er, she doesn't matter!?"
"She...is amazing, she has made a lot of money."
"Hahaha, I inherited her mother's beauty and figure, and inherited her father's business acumen. Xing'er, Dad is really proud of you!!"
After Liao Zixuan said whatever he said, Zhao Jie was so happy that he was completely immersed in his own baby girl that he couldn't extricate himself until...
"Hmph, then there must be many stupid guys who are pursuing my daughter now!"
"It's true that there are many, all lined up from the top of the city to the end of the city." Liao Zixuan sighed in his heart and continued to follow the work, just to make up for the guilt he felt towards Zhao Jie in the next week's project.
But who knew that his words suddenly made Zhao Jie excited. Liao Zixuan didn't realize what a father with a daughter was most afraid of.
"Hahaha, I'm worthy of being my boudoir... Wait! No, right! It's bad... It's bad! Calculate her age. Xing'er should be the time when she fell in love. There are so many people chasing Xing'er. There will always be a bastard or two of them who can use sweet words. If Xing'er is really fooled..."
hiss!
Zhao Jie took a breath of cold air in an instant and didn't dare to think about it any more.
The joy just now disappeared in a blink of an eye, and became what he is now gritting his teeth.
"Damn it! It's obvious that when my daughter needs me, I...I'm not by my side. I, I...haha, damn!!"
"Uncle Zhao, don't be excited, Xing'er is not so easily abducted by others..."
Before Liao Zixuan could finish his speechless comforting words, he was blocked by Zhao Jie's glare.
"What do you know! I chased Xing'er so much back then, how could I not know yet!"
Liao Zixuan: "..."
"But then again... boy, what is your relationship with Xing'er? How do you know that Xing'er has so many things!?" Zhao Jie realized this problem at this time.
He looked Liao Zixuan up and down again and again, and the sense of vigilance that had disappeared appeared again. Of course, this vigilance is not the other one.
"Uncle Zhao, I am... a good friend of Xing'er."
"Ha!? Do you think your Uncle Zhao is a fool? You are a very good friend? How deep is the relationship so that Xing'er can tell you the secret code between us?"
After hearing Liao Zixuan's answer, Zhao Jie was angry. If you look carefully, you will find a strong feeling of heartache deep in the eyes.
That was the emotion that every father would have when he saw that the cabbage he had raised for more than ten years was robbed by a pig.
"No, Uncle Zhao, you misunderstood, I really..." Liao Zixuan suddenly felt that the situation was developing a little out of his control.
To be continued...
