Chapter 699: I want to know what's going on even if I die!

Xia Lei put down his teacup and handed Xia Yu his briefcase: 'Take a look first, these things are for you.'

Xia Yu was a little curious, opened the briefcase, and found that in addition to a stack of documents, there were also a few bank cards.

Xia Yu frowned slightly, not understanding Xia Lei's actions.

He glanced at the bank cards but did not read them, and took out the documents.

They turned out to be property deeds and contracts, one for a shop and one for a house.

He did not care about the house, but the shop was surprisingly located at 17 Wyndham Street in Central, Hong Kong Island, with an area of more than 500 square meters.

In addition, there was a business license, which read 'Norwegian Forest Bar'.

Upon seeing this, Xia Yu's eyebrows shot up, and his gaze fell on Xia Lei, who inquired, 'Lei, where did you get this?'

Xia Lei gave a hehe laugh and told the whole story of how he found out about the matter and how he did it.

Xia Yu listened quietly the whole time.

After Xia Lei finished speaking, Xia Yu was moved and said, 'Lei, you have a good heart.'

Xia Lei grinned and waved his hands, saying, 'Don't mention it, we're brothers. Without you, there would be no me. If you run into trouble, I'm glad I don't know about it, but if I do, I definitely can't turn a blind eye.'

'That Guo Jianglin is a poor man. Apart from this shop and a house, there are just a few bank cards left. I had someone check, and the combined deposits are only 210,000 yuan. It's all here. He begged me, saying he'd take it out to apologise to you.'

'I still control him, and as for what to do with it, I'll listen to you.'

Looking at the things in his hands, Xia Yu fell into thought.

The most valuable thing among these must be the 'Norwegian Forest Bar'. Together with the house and savings, it must be worth several million.

But several million in assets is certainly astronomical for an ordinary person.

But for Xia Yu, it is just a drop in the bucket, and he really doesn't care about it.

But this is Xia Lei's expression of goodwill, and saying no would also be a bit of a blow to his motivation.

Anyway, Guo Jianglin did have a conflict with him. Although he was a small fry, he still had to be taught a lesson. Since Xia Lei had dealt with it, let's just go with this approach.

Xia Yu thought again about the location of this 'Norwegian Forest Bar,' a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, and some memories from his previous life flipped through his mind.

It seems that the location of the 'Norwegian Forest Bar' in the afterlife belongs to the Lan Kwai Fong area...

Thinking about this, he took out his bank card, the house contract and the deed from it and gave them to Xia Lei: 'I'll take the bar, you can have the house and the bank card, I don't want it.'

'If it's a human, just let him go if you're sure there won't be any problems, he's just a nobody.'

Xia Lei also knew Xia Yu's temper, so obediently took the bank card, the house contract and the deed, nodded and said, 'Okay, I'll do it as you say.'

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

'Ding dong! Ding dong!'

Xia Yu and Xia Lei stopped talking.

Looking at Xia Lei's puzzled gaze, Xia Yu smiled and said, 'This time it should be Bao Yugang coming. You sit first, I'll open the door.'

'Okay!'

Looking through the peephole, he saw Bao Yugang's happy face indeed, and Xia Yu smiled and opened the door.

'Lao Bao, good evening, come in!'

'Ah Yu, good evening, are there any guests in the house?'

Bao Yugang laughed loudly, his gaze directed towards the living room.

'It's my brother here to talk to me.'

Xia Yu explained with a smile.

After walking into the living room, Xia Yu did not hide anything and introduced Bao Yugang, 'Lao Bao, this is my brother Xia Lei, a sworn brother!'

'Ray, you should know him!'

'Of course I know him, the famous shipowner, the richest Chinese, I have long admired his name, and now I finally have the honour to meet the real person.'

'Hello, Mr Bao!'

'I'm honoured to meet you!'

Bao Yugang and Xia Lei shook hands and exchanged pleasantries before taking their seats.

However, after finishing a cup of tea, Xia Lei knew that Bao Yugang and Xia Yu had something to discuss. Out of respect for Bao Yugang, he didn't want to eavesdrop, so he found an excuse to get up and apologize, saying, 'Yu, Mr. Bao, I still have some things to do, so I'll be going first.'

'Won't you stay for a while, Mr Xia?'

Bao Yugang politely asked.

Xia Yu, on the other hand, did not bother to be polite with Xia Lei, and said to him, 'Then Lei, be careful when you go back tonight, I won't see you off.'

'There's no need to see me off, I know what you mean, don't worry!'

Xia Lei said, and once again smiled and bowed to the two men before leaving, closing the door firmly behind him.

Xia Yu put the documents on the table away and put them aside. Bao Yugang kept watching without asking any more questions.

Instead, he chatted with Xia Yu and the ten minutes passed in laughter.

Seeing that it was already nine o'clock, Bao Yugang realised that it was about time and put down his teacup. His face gradually became serious.

Xia Yu put down his teacup without saying a word and looked at Bao Yugang, asking, 'Lao Bao, did you call me this afternoon because of what happened today?'

Bao Yugang is straightforward and doesn't bother with beating around the bush. He speaks his mind: 'Yes, you stirred up a lot of trouble today, I can't help but know about it!'

'Zhao Congyan is also an old rival of mine, and we have a little friendship. He came to me and wanted to ask you through me if there was any misunderstanding.'

'You don't need to feel awkward, Yu. I'm just a messenger. He, Zhao Congyan, is not yet qualified to let me be a lobbyist.'

Xia Yu smiled lightly, then his smile faded as he said, 'Lao Bao, you know I'm particular about what I do. There is definitely no misunderstanding between me and the Zhao family. If it weren't for angering me, I really wouldn't have gotten so angry.'

Bao Yu's brows furrowed slightly as he asked with concern, "What's wrong?'

Xia Yu said, "Let me explain it to you. When Zhao Congyan asks about it, you can just tell him that I'm actually in the right.'

'Here's what happened...'

Then Xia Yu told Bao Yugang the same story he had told Li Zhaoji that afternoon.

Halfway through the story, Bao Yugang's bushy eyebrows stood on end, and he was clearly angry for Xia Yu.

After listening to the end, Bao Yugang directly patted the table and commented, 'A Yu, you did the right thing. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, you would still be in the right. The Zhao family should bear the consequences for not educating their children properly.'

'Don't worry, if anyone dares to gossip, I will definitely step in to help you settle it,'

Xia Yu smiled and said, 'Then thank you.'

Bao Yugang laughed and said, 'But I guess no one will dare to blabber because they are afraid of your authority, haha...'

Xia Yu smiled helplessly.

Bao Yugang sensibly changed the topic after learning the truth and talked to Xia Yu about business matters.

It was 9:30 in the evening when Bao Yugang considered that Xia Yu still needed to take a bath and rest, so he got up to say goodbye.

Xia Yu saw Bao Yugang out the door and watched his car disappear into the night.

He shook his head, closed the door, and prepared to go to bed and get some rest to prepare for tomorrow.

Tonight, when Bao Yugang went back, he would definitely tell the Zhao family everything he had heard.

Then it would be up to the Zhao family to decide what to do! He was not afraid of anything, no matter how hard or soft the approach!

Bao Yugang, meanwhile, closed his eyes in the car to rest and think about how to respond to Zhao Congyan when he got back.

Knowing Zhao Congyan as he does, he absolutely will not be able to sleep tonight if he does not get a clear answer from him tonight.

Sure enough, at this moment in the Zhao family mansion, Zhao Congyan is sitting in the hall, at the head of the table, with a telephone placed to his right.

Since dinner at around 7pm, Zhao Congyan has been sitting here, guarding the telephone without leaving it.

The atmosphere in the hall is tense.

Zhao Congyan's three sons, Zhao Shipeng, Zhao Shizeng and Zhao Shiguang, were standing to the left and right of him, all waiting with grave expressions on their faces.

The butler refilled the four men's cups with hot tea and then went back to Zhao Congyan, saying with concern, 'Sir, you've been sitting here for more than two hours. It's almost ten o'clock. I don't think Bao Sheng will be calling, so why don't you go and rest?'

'Yes, Dad, we'll wait here. You're not feeling well, so you should go and rest.'

Zhao Congyan's face remained unchanged, and he said in an unquestioning and deep voice, 'No need to say anything. Bao Yugang has always been a man of integrity. Since he promised me, he will definitely do it.'

'Don't say it's not even ten o'clock now, you have to wait until two or three in the morning!'

'If you don't wait until you hear news, how will you be able to sleep tonight?'

The three Zhao brothers opened their mouths, but in the end, they could only hang their heads and sigh.

This was indeed the case. Without hearing news, it would be another sleepless night.

They had done everything they could, and now Bao Yugang's news was their last ray of hope.

The Zhao family's future depended on Bao Yugang's news!

To put it bluntly, they were also feeling the pressure, but they were prepared to die knowing the truth!

"Dong~dong~dong~'

The old large pendulum clock hanging on the wall in the centre of the hall struck ten times, reminding everyone that it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

The atmosphere in the hall once again became much more solemn.

Just then, a sudden ringing sound broke the silence, and everyone's attention snapped to the telephone on the table.

Zhao Congyan didn't say a word, grabbed the phone, and anxiously asked, 'Hello, this is Zhao Congyan!'
