Chapter 697 - 693 Zhao Quan
Deep Water Bay, inside a private villa.
Zhao Quan’s father, Zhao Quan, hung up the phone with a gloomy face, his expression extremely ugly. He had just received a call from Huang Yuanzheng who had scolded him harshly, making him furious. Yet, he dared not retaliate, and this frustration ignited a fire of rage within him.
"What’s wrong? You look terrible. Did something happen?"
Just then, a beautiful woman dressed in pajamas came downstairs and sat next to Zhao Quan, gently resting her head on his shoulder.
This woman was named Zhuge Ling, Zhao Quan’s lover and also his strategist.
"Something did happen. Huang Yuanzheng just called me and said that Lin’er has captured a valuable guest of the Huang Family. He demanded that I immediately call Lin’er to release the hostage, or else he would not treat our Zhao Family lightly and would crush us with his forces." Feeling the fragrance from the woman, Zhao Quan’s face softened slightly as he slowly began to speak.
"A valuable guest of the Huang Family? Who exactly did Zhao Lin capture to alarm Huang Yuanzheng? Quan, are you sure Huang Yuanzheng said that?"
Hearing Zhao Quan’s words, Zhuge Ling also slightly furrowed her brow. The Huang Family was a well-known and influential family in Xiangjiang. Although the Zhao family’s power was not inferior to the Huang’s, they absolutely would not conflict with them unless absolutely necessary, because the powers of the Zhao and Huang families were completely opposite, one dark and one light. If a real conflict occurred, the Zhao Family might not benefit from it.
"Huang Yuanzheng indeed said that, and from his tone, he seemed very angry," Zhao Quan took a deep breath and said.
