Chapter 674: Is This Picture of You?_2
Oh.
And her marketing skills were the same as that down-and-out little girl when he first met Zhao Yuer…
Nan shook her head. After she recalled her memories, she ignored Zhao Jie’s offer to lure her into handing over the equipment order for the Northern Tenth Manor. Nan interrupted,
“Mr. Zhao Jie, I really admire you for being able to do business overseas and expand our market overseas. However, I’m a little curious. What about your family?”
“Ah? Oh, this…” Zhao Jie instantly lost the fluency that he had when he was promoting earlier.
He hesitated for two to three seconds before forcing a smile and said,””Yes, that’s right. I’ve brought them to the Thousand-island too, but of course, I can’t let them follow me to Cherry Tree Island. It’s too dangerous, so they’re on the Moon Abyss Island now.”
“Lord Nan, why are you…Suddenly mentioning this?” A bad feeling rose in Zhao Jie’s heart, and he quickly turned around to probe.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I just suddenly remembered that our Northern Cross received a commission previously. It said that we were looking for a businessman who abandoned his wife and daughter and fled overseas.”
Nan smiled at Zhao Jie as she spoke. The middle-aged man opposite her had a drastic change in expression. He was so frightened that he stood up from his chair.
Nan ignored Zhao Jie and leisurely sipped the tea on the table before continuing,
“And Mr. Zhao Jie, do you know what’s even more coincidental? The name of the businessman on the commission is exactly the same as yours!”
The room fell into a dead silence.
Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down Zhao Jie’s cheeks.
However, Zhao Jie’s reaction was also very fast. It could be said that after the shock, he realized that this was not Guili Island, but the Thousand Islands. This was his son-in-law’s territory, and it was his territory!
I’m not afraid!
What was there to be afraid of!
Thinking of this, Zhao Jie suddenly became bold.
“Oh? ” There’s actually such a coincidence. Don’t worry, Lord Nan. I, Zhao Jie, have some connections in the Thousand Islands. If I find a Gui Liren with the same name as me, I’ll inform Northern Cross immediately.””
Heh.
He was quite thick-skinned.
Nan smiled inwardly. Without waiting for Zhao Jie to speak, she took out a scroll from her waist.
“This is…?” Zhao Jie’s heart skipped a beat.
“I forgot to tell you, Boss Zhao. At that time, the commission also came with a photo of the escaping businessman taken with a video camera. Although I, Nan, was indeed wearing an eye mask and could only see with one eye, I kept feeling that this photo was somewhat similar to you, Boss Zhao.”
“Come, Boss Zhao, you have good eyesight, unlike me. Come and take a look. Is the person in this photo you?”
Nan stood up and slowly opened the scroll in front of Zhao Jie, revealing a man who looked at least 70 – 80% similar to Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie recognized it at a glance. This was a photo he had taken in the photo studio more than 20 years ago before Xing ‘er was born. The person in the photo was him when he was young.
But…
“How is it? Is this photo of you?”
“It wasn’t me.”
“Not you?” Nan repeated in a heavy tone.
On the other side, Zhao Jie even took the initiative to stand next to the scroll and leaned his face over to compare it with his younger self 20 years ago. Then, he said fearlessly,
“It wasn’t me.”
Humph.
So what if you’re the captain of the Northern Cross?
Could it be that you kidnapped me from Sakuragi Island?
However, what Nan said made Zhao Jie’s eyes widen.
“So it’s like this…” That’s a pity. This commission was originally for us to tell this businessman that his debts have been cleared for a long time and to bring him back to Guili. But since Boss Zhao said that the person in this photo is not…”
Nan shook her head. Before she could finish her sentence, her hand that was about to retract the photo was pressed down by Zhao Jie.
Immediately after, there was an anxious shout.
“It’s me!”
“Eh? The person in this photo is you again?”Nan pretended to be surprised.
“It’s me!”
“But look at this face shape…”
“Yes, I was still very thin at that time.”Zhao Jie blurted out without thinking.
Nan pretended to compare it carefully again, as if she was taking revenge. She shook her head.
“No, I don’t think this is you.”
“Are you saying this is not the case?”
Zhao Jie could also tell that Nan was deliberately provoking him. Furthermore, this was a serious matter, so Zhao Jie could no longer tolerate it.
He stopped pretending.
He wanted to show his cards.
“Alright! Lord Nan, let me tell you, regardless of whether this photo is of me or not, you have to make things clear today, or else…Don’t even think about leaving Sakuragi Island!”
“Oh?” Facing Zhao Jie’s fury and harsh words, Nan wasn’t afraid. Instead, she seemed to be interested.
“Then I still want to leave. How are you going to stop me? Do you think you can still stand those foreigners outside?”
“Hmph, Lord Nan, don’t be so stubborn. I know you’re skilled in martial arts, and the Northern Tenth Titans are famous, but no matter how powerful you are, can you compare to the Five Elements?”
As soon as Zhao Jie said that, the wolf cub who was eavesdropping by leaning on Xinyan outside the room immediately covered his face with his palm.
“Five Elements…Gui Li Five Elements?”
Zhao Jie’s words really stunned Nan. Nan subconsciously thought that Zhao Jie knew his daughter’s identity.
Until…
The next sentence.
“Lord Nan, let me warn you. My son-in-law is a person of the five elements and is a higher-up of Black Tortoise Pass. That’s our Gui Li’s specialized external organization.”
Nan was speechless.
Nan, who had been leading him by the nose during the entire conversation, widened his eyes in disbelief when he heard what the legendary leader of the North Tenth Team said.
This made Zhao Jie even more confident and confident.
He enjoyed Nan’s expression very much and could not help but want to show off more of his son-in-law’s power and glorious deeds.
“Since you’ve come to the Thousand Islands, you’ve heard about the recent events, right? I’m not exaggerating to say that if my son-in-law wasn’t here, hmph… Now the thousand island that three pursue also point uncertain what kind of chaos!”
“Another example is the current Sakuragi Island. If it weren’t for the fact that my son-in-law isn’t here, and… Cough, with that assisting colleague around, how could there be such a scene!”
“Hey, hey, are you listening?”
Zhao Jie banged the table a few times and finally pulled Nan back from her shock.
After that, Nan’s reaction was not to ask, but to be furious.
“Son-in-law, Zhao Jie, you…Did you find a new wife in Thousand Islands and have a daughter?？”Nan pointed at Zhao Jie’s nose and almost pulled out his sword.
Fortunately, when Zhao Jie heard this, he was even more excited than her. He blushed and said angrily,
“Bullshit! How could I, Zhao Jie, be that kind of person! I will only have one wife and one daughter in this life! I… No!
Wait a minute, why are you using the again? How did you know I have a daughter?”
The situation was about to go out of control and develop to the extreme.
Originally, the wolf cub said that he wanted to intervene and clarify things.
However, he did not expect it.
Boom!
The ground of Sakuragi Island under their feet suddenly trembled violently.
Earthquake?
No!
The little wolf cub hurriedly ran to a high place outside the camp. Looking around, he saw that in the depths of Sakuragi Island, the ground was beginning to crack, and the dense curse aura turned into mutated monsters.
This time, they were no longer wandering around like wild monsters. Instead, they all turned their gazes towards the newly built base camp on Sakuragi Island. They charged towards the camp and attacked.
