Chapter 93 Tongten Pavilion

"You never stop, you crazy woman!" Zhao Fengyun pointed at Liu Lingzhi and cursed.

"Shut up! The adults are talking, you should shut up!" Zhao Lei sat on the soft chair and patted the armrest and shouted loudly.

"Fengyun!" Zhang Tianci called out with a frown.

"Ah! I'm really going crazy." Zhao Fengyun put his hands in his hair and sat back in the chair depressedly. Next to him was Zhang Tianci's daughter, Zhang Rui, who was also Zhao Fengyun's wife.

Zhao Lei's face was calm, but his palms were tightly gripping the armrests. He looked calmly at Liu Lingzhi opposite him and said in a tone of regret: "Lingzhi! You know your father's affairs very well. No one wants this to happen!"

"If you keep making a scene like this, it will only make our Yongsheng Group a laughing stock for others! Your husband is a teacher at the University of Hong Kong and has a bright future ahead of him. But look at him now because of the rumors in the newspapers, he has been criticized a lot at school!"

"What do you mean his wife is using her deceased adoptive father to attack her uncles and aunts for money and shares? Are these good words?"

Liu Lingzhi's face was extremely ugly, and she squeezed out a few words from between her clenched teeth: "This is all thanks to you! Then let's see if Zhao Lei, who killed my father, can still spend today in peace!"

"Lingzhi! Don't say such things! After all, he is your elder. Even if he did something wrong, it is not a reason for you to speak like that!" Hou Rui said in a deep voice.

"Haha, Chief Inspector Hou, are you kidding me? Ah!" Liu Lingzhi screamed, "Elder, ah! Elder, you are a police officer and you clearly know how my father died!"

Hou Jie took off his glasses, rubbed his sagging temples, sighed and said, "Lingzhi, calm down. Master Zheng will take care of it in a while."

Zhang Rui approached Zhao Fengyun and whispered, "Husband, will Master Zheng, whom Dad and the others are waiting for, really make the decision for Liu Lingzhi?"

Zhao Fengyun snorted lightly: "This crazy woman is still pestering me even after more than ten years. Make the decision? How to make the decision? Can Yongsheng Group leave my dad? The middle and senior management were all promoted by my dad."

...

"Ah~ It's really annoying." Zheng Wenjie stood in front of the French window on the third floor with his hands on his chest, looking at the people sitting in two rows in the garden.

Gong Ruomei leaned against Zheng Wenjie's back and said, "When Sanjiangshui died, I wanted to kill Zhao Lei."

"But all of them came to beg for mercy. If Lao Jiang was still alive, even if he couldn't walk, he would have taken a knife and crawled to avenge San Jiangshui."

Zheng Wenjie looked at the wrinkles and age spots on Zhao Lei's face through the French window. He was silent for a moment and said coldly, "Any choice you make will come at a price. He dared to form a gang to kill Sanjiangshui and Lin Bao, which means that my status in his heart has declined."

"I have killed people in front of them, frightened them, and given them money, but I never interfered too much in what they did. Do you know why?"

Zheng Wenjie didn't wait for Gong Ruomei to answer and continued, "I want them to both fear and love me! But my methods are too simple, and it's hard for them to maintain their attitude towards me for a long time."

"Now that they have power and influence, they can only choose between fear and love. But it's fine this way. Rather than asking them to love me, I want them to fear me because fear lasts longer than love."

Zheng Wenjie lowered his head and looked at Liu Lingzhi's distorted facial expression: "It's because you are still here, otherwise Liu Lingzhi would have followed in Sanjiangshui's footsteps."

"I'm sorry, I want to take care of them for you, but..."

Zheng Wenjie turned around and pinched Gong Ruomei's snow-white cheek with a smile: "Why do you care what they do? You are already very good. At least now they dare not disobey."

Zheng Wenjie changed into a suit, let his black hair fall smoothly on his back, slowly walked down the stairs and stepped into the garden.

Looking at Zheng Wenjie, who looked exactly like Tang Xue, with no change at all, Zhao Lei's heavy heart sank again. He stood up consciously. Zhang Tianci also stood up with the help of Lin Liangchun beside him.

After they all said hello, Zheng Wenjie asked them to sit down. Seeing that these old friends were all in their fifties or sixties, Zheng Wenjie said with a sigh: "It's been a long time since we last met. Everyone is old. Zhao Lei must be a grandfather, right?"

Zhao Lei laughed and patted the thigh of Zhao Fengyun who was sitting next to him: "Master Zheng! I haven't seen you for more than 30 years. This is my son Zhao Fengyun, and that is my daughter-in-law Zhang Rui, also Tianci's daughter."

No matter how Zhao Fengyun felt inside when he saw Zheng Wenjie, Zhao Fengyun, who had been seriously warned by Zhao Lei yesterday, calmly pulled Zhang Rui and stood up together.

"Grandpa Zheng, my father has always talked about you since I was a child. This morning, my father happily said that today is the happiest day in the past few years because he can finally see you again. It is also my honor to meet Grandpa Zheng today!"

Zheng Wenjie smiled and waved for them to sit down, then slowly stood between the two rows of people: "Zhao Lei, do you really want to see me again?"

Zhao Lei put away his smile and lowered his eyes. Under the different looks of the crowd, he shook his head: "Master Zheng, I thought I would never see you again until I died, but when I really got the news that you came back, I was relieved. I don't have to worry anymore."

"I remember I said something to you before I left." Zheng Wenjie looked around at their no longer young faces and said, "We have been a family since that day. We must help each other."

"In general, you have done a good job. Yongsheng Group has developed very well, and you are all upper-class people now, but there are two people missing."

Zheng Wenjie walked over to Liu Lingzhi, who was leaning on a chair with red and swollen eyes. "It's fine if Sanjiangshui is killed. You can only blame him for not being able to figure things out and trying to interfere with your business."

Liu Lingzhi looked at Zheng Wenjie in disbelief: "Master Zheng, my father has always followed you and always called you Master!"

"Sanjiangshui was adopted by the Gong family since he was a child. He has a deeper relationship with the Gong family than with me. Whenever he does something reasonable, Gong Er will stand up for him if he dies."

"What you should do is not to stare at Zhao Lei. You should find out why he has the idea that if I am gone, he should control Yongsheng for me."

"You are still alive today because Gong Er is taking care of you. Live a good life in the future and stop thinking about revenge for Sanjiangshui."

"This crazy woman, my only hope is that she doesn't even want to help her. She should be able to calm down in the future." Zhao Fengyun thought to himself, and a smile appeared on his face as he looked at Liu Lingzhi's hands and feet shaking uncontrollably.

Zheng Wenjie looked up at the bright sunshine, then turned to look at Zhang Tianci: "Tianci, why? Is it really just for a woman?"

Zhang Tianci stammered, unable to speak for a long time, with both hands tightly gripping the crutches in front of him.

Lin Liangchun sighed and his voice trembled a little: "Master Zheng, Brother Tianci also regrets it."

"Shut up! I'll let him speak again!" Zheng Wenjie shouted coldly, and even the air seemed to stop flowing, and the surroundings became quiet.

Zhang Tianci closed his eyes tightly, but tears still flowed down his old face. He was in his fifties, but looked like he was in his seventies or eighties. He even needed a cane to walk.

Different from him is Zhao Lei, who is about the same age, still has a loud voice and walks like a dragon or a tiger.

Zhao Lei looked at Zheng Wenjie seriously and said firmly: "Master Zheng, I also had a hand in Lin Bao's affairs. Don't ask Tianci. He has been very tormented these years." "I have an unshirkable responsibility for Lin Bao's death. If I hadn't fanned the flames, Lin Bao wouldn't have died." Zhao Lei looked at his daughter-in-law Zhang Rui: "Xiao Lan was already pregnant at the time. If Lin Bao knew about Xiao Lan and Tianci, the child would not have survived!"

The look in Zhao Lei's eyes made Zhang Rui feel even more unbelievable. This was the first time she heard about what happened between her parents.

Zhang Tianci's voice trembled: "Master Zheng, cough... cough cough."

"Okay, stop talking." Zheng Wenjie interrupted Zhang Tianci: "Lin Hu entrusted you two brothers to me. I promised Lin Hu that I would let you two live in peace."

"It's my fault too. I was trapped for thirty years before I could even get out." Zheng Wenjie snorted and looked at Zhao Lei: "From the looks of you, are you ready to give me an explanation? Tell me."

Zhao Lei nodded first, then looked at everyone present seriously one by one. He had already talked to these people yesterday, and they also promised to support him as much as possible.

Zhao Lei turned his gaze to Zheng Wenjie: "Master Zheng, for the sake of our friendship over the years, I hope you can let Tianci and I leave Hong Kong Island. We will not take anything with us, and Yongsheng Group will completely hand over the surgery to you."

"Dad!" Zhao Fengyun exclaimed, but was interrupted by Zhao Lei's cold eyes.

Zheng Wenjie frowned and looked at Zhao Lei: "Is this what you told me?"

"Master Zheng." Hou Rui stood up and said, "Zhao Lei has been working towards your goal for so many years. Even if he has not made any contributions, he has worked hard. Please give him a chance."

"You two brothers are both police superintendents, right? I always thought that your position would be higher than Hou Jie because you are calmer than him." Zheng Wenjie said and looked at them.

Except for Liu Lingzhi who had a smile on her face, everyone else had a serious look on their faces. Zheng Wenjie said, "Oh, you all have talked it over. Do you want me to accept this explanation? What if I don't agree? What will you do?"

Zhao Lei held his hand even tighter, his voice was not loud but very calm: "Master Zheng, for so many years..."

Zheng Wenjie tilted his head: "What happened after all these years?"

Zhao Lei closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked straight at Zheng Wenjie: "Over the years, I have done a lot for my wife. A month ago, I even kidnapped more than 30 people and sent them to the basement."

"I also know that Mr. Zheng, Madam, and Tang Xue are all immortal vampires, so after so many years, we have all grown old! Time still has not left any traces on you."

"Two years ago, our mall encountered a strange incident. Customers said they saw a ghost. I had no choice but to ask Miss Tang Xue to handle the matter."

"Ms. Tang Xue obviously didn't know that the mall had installed the latest cameras, which recorded all of Miss Tang Xue's hidden secrets."

"Are you threatening me with this?" Zheng Wenjie laughed out loud, and only now did he feel the desire to kill.

"No! I just want a chance!" Zhao Lei shook his head and continued, "If Master Zheng doesn't give it to me! Then I can only find a way to get it myself!"

"Madam rarely goes out, especially after the clinic was expanded and moved to Minxin Hospital, I have never heard of Madam going out again."

"I understand. We have been following Madam since we arrived in Hong Kong Island. Madam is actually very sensitive and doesn't want anyone to know that she is a vampire."

"If Mr. Zheng doesn't give us this opportunity, all TV programs in Hong Kong and abroad will be interested in this video, as well as Madam's family background and life experience."

"Alright!" Zheng Wenjie interrupted Zhao Lei, who was about to give up. "Actually, I didn't mean to kill you just now, because I still need you to do something."

This one sentence made Zhao Lei's face change drastically, and the Hou brothers also frowned.

Zheng Wenjie walked around behind Zhao Fengyun and put his hands on his shoulders: "But you shouldn't threaten me. I heard that you used seven knives to kill Sanjiangshui. You can't kill people without a gun?"

"It's easy to kill someone with bare hands." Zheng Wenjie put his index finger on Zhao Fengyun's throat.

"No, no, Grandpa Zheng, let me go."

"These are human vocal cords. They can still speak now, but if you insert a finger into them, no sound will come out." After saying that, Zheng Wenjie inserted his index finger into Zhao Fengyun's throat. Zhao Fengyun opened his mouth with a distorted face, and he retched but no sound came out.

"Then cut here. This is the aorta. You see, killing someone is very easy, isn't it?" Zheng Wenjie cut open Zhao Fengyun's aorta with his hand, supported Zheng Wenjie's body, and let the blood spray, soaking half of Zhao Lei's body.

"Ah!" Zhang Rui screamed, jumped up from the chair and hid behind Zhang Tianci.

"Son...son." Zhao Lei touched the blood splattered on his face and murmured.

Zheng Wenjie paced back to the middle, wiped his index finger, and said softly: "Zhao Lei, considering my efforts over the years, I don't intend to kill you, but since you threaten me, our friendship is over."

"Death is not the end. After death, people will become ghosts and either wait in line to be reincarnated or go to the eighteen levels of hell."

Zheng Wenjie smiled and looked at Zhao Lei who was still staring at Zhao Fengyun's body in a daze and asked, "Do you want your son to go to the eighteenth level of hell, or to be at my disposal, or to be reincarnated?"

"Master Zheng, has my father been reincarnated?" Liu Lingzhi, who was in a happy mood and felt like she had avenged a great revenge, asked hurriedly after hearing this.

"I don't know yet. I'll go and take a look in a few days." Zheng Wenjie replied casually.

"Kill me, kill me." Zhao Lei forced a smile, as if all his strength had been drained away, he slumped in the chair powerlessly. The videotape could not threaten Zheng Wenjie, and he had no other choice. He originally thought that with Gong Er as Zheng Wenjie's weak spot, he could have a 70% chance of his family leaving Hong Kong Island safely.

Zheng Wenjie shook his head and said coldly: "I need you to do one more thing. If you do this well, after your family dies, I will let your ghosts go and let you reincarnate."

"You threaten me, and I threaten you too. Is that too much?"

Zheng Wenjie turned his head and looked at Zhang Tianci who was holding his daughter and wanted to speak: "Shut up, I don't want to hear you talk. I will find Lin Bao and let him solve your problem himself."

Zhao Lei had watched Tang Xue's video tape many times. Even though he could only see Tang Xue facing the air, he knew there was really a ghost there.

"I promise…"

Zheng Wenjie nodded: "I will choose a good location, where I will build the tallest building in Hong Kong Island. I named it Tongtian Tower!"
