Chapter 266 Stirring Clouds and Rain
"Medicine pills?"
Zhao Huan suddenly recalled the information Zhao Ningshu brought home and instantly realized the connection between Ling Wan and Yun Xiao, immediately responded: "Ling Wan went home to see his mother, rest assured, I am his father, I will not make things difficult for him!"
This shameless lying ability instilled a sense of dread in Zhao Ningshu, who couldn’t help but remark internally on his father’s thick-faced actions. They were not just making things difficult for Ling Wan — if not for Ling Wan’s mother’s life-threatening coercion, Ling Wan might very well have been dead by now.
However, such matters were only known to the father and son of the Zhao Family, how could Yun Xiao discern the truth from lies? Although he did not trust Zhao Huan, he had no way to counter at this moment.
"Yun Xiao, I know you and Ling Wan are good friends, please release his elder brother, the Zhao Family guarantees to not strike against you again!"
As Zhao Huan uttered these words, a fierce gleam clearly flashed through the depths of his eyes, his resentment intensifying not just towards Yun Xiao, but also towards his third son, Ling Wan.
As the Family Head of the Zhao Family, Zhao Huan always dominated and disdained others, never having experienced being forced to bow down like today, especially by someone significantly weaker than him by a whole Great Rank — how could he swallow this indignity?
However, Zhao Ningshu’s life was in Yun Xiao’s hands, making Zhao Huan truly dare not provoke Yun Xiao. He had only this son and wanted Zhao Ningshu to continue the Zhao Family’s legacy. If Zhao Ningshu were to die suddenly, the family’s lineage would be severed.
Or rather, the Zhao Family, like the previous Shang Family, was not of a single lineage, but if all the descendants of Zhao Huan’s line were to die, the power would certainly shift, which was something he was extremely reluctant to see.
"Ha ha, I really don’t trust the promises of the Zhao Family Head!"
