During this period of time, Zhao Yan had been running around everywhere. It wasn’t easy for him to come to an agreement with that group, so he began to pay attention to Zou Bai’s traces.
“Master, Zou Bai has been staying in the Zou Family all this time and hasn’t come out,” Zhao Yi replied.
Zhao Yan was a little puzzled. Previously, Zou Bai wished he could stay in the Jiang family. Why did he suddenly come back?
“Zou Bai hasn’t been there since Miss Jiang left the country.” Zhao Yi could see his master’s confusion.
Zhao Yan frowned. “But he gets along well with those two children. He hasn’t been to visit them for so long?”
Zhao Yi shook his head. “No.”
The more Zhao Yan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Zou Bai had always been very busy. Even before he met Jiang An, he would go everywhere to check on the Zou family’s businesses.
After all, people like them were most afraid of being deceived by their subordinates. They had to see it with their own eyes.
But Zou Bai stayed at home obediently. Something was not right.
Once this thought appeared, he could not suppress it no matter what. Zhao Yan could not even eat in the end.
“No, I have to take a look.”
Zhao Yan stood up and walked out. He asked the driver to drive to the Zou residence to visit.
Zou Fei was very puzzled when she heard the servant say this. This Zhao Yan had never visited them before. Why did he suddenly come today?
Ever since Zou Bai left China, Zou Fei had returned to the old residence to stay in case something happened to the Zou family and there was no one to deal with it. Anyway, Zou Bai had already made arrangements, so he didn’t have to worry about anything.
However, he was not a fool. He knew that Zhao Yan definitely had ill intentions.
Zou Fei nodded and said, “Let him in.”
Zhao Yan originally thought that he would be rejected at the door. This would prove his guess, but he was quickly invited in.
“Hello, Brother Zou.” Zhao Yan was trying to build a relationship. In any case, the four great families had in-laws. It was fine to call him Big Brother.
Zou Fei smiled and asked him to sit down. “Aren’t you busy recently? You still have time to come to my place.”
“I’ve already finished my work. I haven’t seen Zou Bai in a long time, so I came to take a look,” Zhao Yan said with a smile.
Zou Fei knew that Zhao Yan must have guessed something, but Zou Bai had been approved by the government, so he didn’t panic.
“He’s not as free as you. He’s been so busy recently that I can’t even see him.”
Zhao Yan pretended to be surprised. “But no one has seen him recently. What’s going on?”
Zou Fei wanted to splash the tea on his face. It was none of his business whether Zou Bai was at home or not. Even if he did not go out for the rest of his life, it was not his place to ask.
“I didn’t ask him either. Maybe it’s something else.” Zou Fei’s entire person became cold.
However, Zhao Yan didn’t notice the change in him. He just wanted to find fault with him.
Zou Bai was either busy with something shameful or had secretly left the country without letting the government know. No matter which of these two results was exposed, it would be detrimental to Zou Bai. Zhao Yan only wanted to find evidence as soon as possible.
He said, “That’s too mysterious. Why don’t I help him so he can finish things a little faster?”
“Maybe you can’t help.”
“We’ll know when we meet later.”
Zou Fei snorted, “Zhao Yan, this is our Zou Family’s business. It’s rude for an outsider like you to interfere.”
Zhao Yan made a surprised expression. “Could it be that no one can know about this? There’s such a thing in the Zou family?”
Zou Fei was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He didn’t care about manners and directly leaned on the sofa. “Who doesn’t have their own business? If you say it like this, I want to see where the Zhao Family’s secret guards train. Do you think it’s okay?”
“There’s nothing to see in our family. It’s not as good as the Zou Family’s Intelligence Network.” Zhao Yan recognized that Zou Fei was a soft-hearted person, so his words became impolite.
Zou Fei sneered, “If you know how powerful the Intelligence Network is, you wouldn’t be talking nonsense here. If they accidentally tell everyone about the Zhao Family, it won’t be easy to clean up in a short time.”
“Big Brother, you must be joking. The four great clans have always been on good terms with each other. If we do this, people will think that the Zou Clan is arrogant.” Zhao Yan still wanted to use the other clans to suppress others.
Zou Fei didn’t indulge him. “It doesn’t matter what others think of the Zou Family. Anyway, if something happens to the Zhao Family, they will definitely be happy.”
If the Zhao family was affected, the other families could take the opportunity to get some benefits. If they were stronger, they could even split their assets.
Hearing this, Zhao Yan finally knew fear. He didn’t expect Zou Fei, a piece of trash who didn’t even dare to be the Patriarch, to openly threaten him here.
He was so angry that he almost couldn’t control his expression. “Zou Bai, if you have the ability, don’t appear for the rest of your life. I’ll keep an eye on him.”
Zou Fei treated these words as farts. Zhao Yan wasn’t even Family Head, and the Zhao Clan was still fighting so fiercely. In his opinion, this person didn’t even have the qualifications to talk to his younger brother..
