The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 187

[Chapter 187 Mysterious Man]

However, even though Lin Tian had the Emperor’s care behind him, Zhu Jinquan did not think that he was invincible.

“He is just an unknown wild boy. If he makes a big mistake, even the current Emperor cannot protect him!”

Zhu Jinquan said with his head down.

“Master is wise.”

The man in gray also smiled.

Then the two discussed some details of the matter, until it was getting dark, and they stopped talking.

The next day, Lin Tian was still studying how to control the addictive effect of opium in the study, but he still had no idea.

There was no way, he could only choose to use the plug-in and start to query the database in his mind.

He rarely uses the database in his mind now. After all, this kind of plug-in is better not to use it. He prefers to rely on his own abilities.

A day passed quickly, and Lin Tian did not come out of the study until the sun set.

He sent someone to explain the situation to Yang Sheng, and he also supported him to find out the reason first, but also assigned him homework.

On the other side, in the Zhu family compound, Zhu Jinquan put on his outer robe and took the oil lamp and went out alone, without even taking a single follower with him.

He turned around and walked through the alleys, and came to a remote courtyard.

“Knock knock knock–“

“It’s Master Zhu, come in quickly, the master is waiting inside.”

The doorman opened the door and took a look, and found that it was Zhu Jinquan, and immediately invited him in.

“Okay, thank you!”

Zhu Jinquan smiled and nodded to the doorman. He was not arrogant at all, and looked very humble.

Before he went in, he looked behind him to make sure that no one had noticed that he was here, and then he entered the door with confidence.

After Zhu Jinquan went in, the doorman simply closed the door and returned to his post.

“Sir.”

Zhu Jinquan came to the study room with familiarity. The people outside the door had already made arrangements, and when they saw him coming, they quickly invited him in.

Sitting at the desk inside was a middle-aged man, dressed in luxurious clothes, but his temples had begun to show gray.

“Since you are here, please take a seat.”

The middle-aged man said, and personally poured a cup of tea for Zhu Jinquan.

Zhu Jinquan seemed to be frightened by this courtesy, and his hands trembled, but he still took the cup of tea.

“Sir, I believe you also know the purpose of this visit.”

Zhu Jinquan said, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with some caution.

He could not afford to offend this person, but this person could bring him many benefits.

He was able to climb to this position today, all thanks to this great backer!

“Tell me, you know the rules of this old man.”

The man just glanced at Zhu Jinquan calmly. Seeing Zhu Jinquan’s hopeful eyes, it was as if he could not see them.

His rules have always been very clear, that is, only do things that are sure, and he will not even look at them if there is a slight chance of failure.

For the forces behind him, Zhu Jinquan is just a small chess piece, and it is abandoned.

What’s more, Zhu Jinquan does not have the courage!

“Of course I am fully confident. A poor boy from Liangzhou has no ability!”

Zhu Jinquan said with great confidence. He had already laid a net, just waiting to lure Lin Tian into the trap.

“What benefits will I get after the matter is done?”

But his confident look was not seen by the middle-aged man. What he wanted was the benefits.

“Of course, everything is ready. This is the bill for half a month. Please take a look first.” Zhu Jinquan said.

He came with full preparations, so he brought the profit bill of the hot pot restaurant during this period.

He pushed the bill respectfully in front of the middle-aged man.

“It seems that your business is doing well.”

The man casually flipped through the bill and his face became a little better.

Nothing else, the amount on it is indeed very satisfying.

I didn’t expect that just a small hot pot restaurant could make so much profit.

If it is used in the later stage, the benefits will come naturally!

“Hehe, of course, more than half of this profit belongs to you!”

Zhu Jinquan is very good at observing words and expressions, so he can see the change in the middle-aged man’s expression at a glance.

So he threw out the last big fish.

Businessmen are naturally concerned about profits. He needs this person’s help, so he has to spend a lot of money.

Zhu Jinquan has never been stingy with this kind of investment. This is his life-saving back mountain!

“How can you guarantee to me that this matter will only succeed?”

But in the face of huge profits, the middle-aged man still remained vigilant.

They were in a position where they could not afford any mistakes!

“As the saying goes, wealth and honor are sought in danger! But this time, of course, success is the only way. After all…”

Zhu Jinquan smiled and moved closer. He looked around to make sure that no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, and then he spoke quietly.

He told all his plans, and sure enough, after listening, the middle-aged man’s frown loosened a little.

“I will trust you once.”

The middle-aged man said. In a few rounds, he had already seen through Zhu Jinquan’s little thoughts.

But this cooperation was only beneficial to him.

“Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!”

After receiving the man’s affirmation, Zhu Jinquan stood up excitedly and kept bending down to thank him.

But the middle-aged man was like a motionless Taishan, squinting his eyes and nodded, indicating that he knew.

“Then this…”

Seeing that the other party did not express anything, Zhu Jinquan spoke awkwardly.

The man stood up and took out a token from the secret compartment of the bookcase behind him. He rubbed it with his thumb before handing it to Zhu Jinquan.

“Take this token and do what you need to do, and don’t do what you shouldn’t do.”

The man said, and then waved his hand, and two men in black appeared in the room immediately.

“Thank you for your help, sir! This operation will definitely succeed!”

Zhu Jinquan hurriedly thanked him, and the men in black who suddenly appeared had received the man’s message and stood beside him calmly.

This was a very obvious farewell.

Zhu Jinquan was not annoyed, and he took the token into his arms carefully, and then he retreated carefully.

After leaving the courtyard, it was already completely dark.

“This is foolproof! Lin Tian, you wait for me!”

Zhu Jinquan looked at the night and breathed a sigh of relief, holding the oil lamp and continued to walk through the streets and alleys back to the Zhu family.

Lin Tian was unaware of all this, like a claw in the dark night, attacking him silently.
