A family of three ate home-style dishes and talked about everyday matters, just like any ordinary family.
Zhao Hongwen put down his chopsticks and said to him, "Although the matter on Wodo Island is over, its impact is still fermenting."
"The world situation has become tense because of the Wodo Island incident."
"Although our Kyushu has not been affected, as long as we are in this world, we are part of the game."
"Since we are part of the game, only by mastering the movements of the entire chessboard can we become the player and stand in an invincible position."
Zhao Yunhai took a sip of soup and replied, "Directly starting a war is the most basic approach."
"What I want to do is to control the entire chessboard without anyone noticing. I am already working on this."
"There are still many madmen in Kyushu who cannot tolerate my Zhao family. For these people, I will eliminate them with thunderous force."
"Only with such methods can we temporarily prevent people from constantly rebelling against us."
"As expected of my son, your thoughts are exactly the same as mine."
Zhao Hongwen actually leaned towards this approach. If they wanted to unify Kyushu openly, the Zhao family would have done it hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
Since the collapse of the Qin Empire, a branch of the Ying family surnamed Zhao (purely fictional, do not take it seriously), the Zhao family has no longer had the idea of being overt rulers.
This idea has persisted to this day, and neither Zhao Hongwen nor Zhao Yunhai has such an idea.
"Nonsense, who else is he your son's son if not yours?"
Qin Siwan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"Eat more vegetables."
Zhao Hongwen, while not afraid of his wife, respected her and did not want to argue.
Qin Siwan snorted and ate the vegetables he had put in her bowl.
"I'm done eating. I'm going back early tomorrow morning."
Zhao Yunhai had not forgotten about Xiao Yang's gains. Wang Fan and Li Mingyi were still watching.
"Going back so soon? You've only been here for a day. Why don't you go shopping with your mother and have a good meal?"
Qin Siwan said with great reluctance, seeing her son leaving the next day.
"Men should focus on their careers."
Zhao Hongwen actually agreed with his son's approach.
Qin Siwan's gaze, which could stare through people, fixed directly on Zhao Hongwen, making his eyelids twitch.
"Then leave the day after tomorrow."
Zhao Yunhai didn't mind delaying for one or two days. Staying for another day was fine.
"Okay, I'll go shopping with Mom tomorrow, and I'll buy you some clothes."
Seeing her son staying an extra day, Qin Siwan's face instantly cleared up, and she was overjoyed.
The next day, Zhao Yunhai was woken up by his mother at ten in the morning.
To be honest, young people like Zhao Yunhai would not get up so early.
Of course, this excludes those who need to work.
Zhao Yunhai drove a common red Ferrari to go out with his mother.
To be honest, Zhao Yunhai's clothes were all bought by his mother or Yang Hui; he bought very few himself, almost none.
Zhao Yunhai was not particular about his clothes, as long as they were comfortable and looked good.
However, Qin Siwan couldn't wait to try on all the good-looking clothes for her handsome, beloved son.
She visited all the luxury brand stores in a huge mall before buying a set of clothes.
Zhao Yunhai's responses throughout the entire process were only "not bad" and "looks good."
While his mother was looking at shoes, with a bang, people outside the store suddenly gathered and looked downstairs.
Screams and noisy discussions erupted, creating a cacophony.
Si Jinyan also quickly walked in and whispered, "Young Master Yun, there's a situation. Someone jumped off the building."
Zhao Yunhai glanced at his mother, who was unaffected, and instructed Si Jinyan, "Dispose of the body immediately. Don't affect my mother's mood."
It was just one death, not something to be overly alarmed about.
"However, Young Master Yun, the deceased is rather unusual."
Si Jinyan quickly explained the situation, "The deceased is the second son of the Huang family."
"Before dying, he seemed to have experienced extreme fear and jumped to his death."
"Is it that Huang family?" Zhao Yunhai let out a sound and asked, glancing at him.
"Yes, it's the Huang family that has just pledged allegiance to our family," Si Jinyan replied.
"What does it have to do with me? He's dead, so he's dead. He's an insignificant person."
Zhao Yunhai snorted, "Forget it, no need to handle it. If the Huang family has an issue, the Huang family will handle it themselves."
Accepting the Huang family's allegiance meant dealing with the Huang family, not handling their domestic affairs.
"Yes." Si Jinyan quickly withdrew.
Zhao Yunhai glanced outside, then continued looking at his phone.
He had heard of the Huang family's second son. This guy was simply a profligate son, greedy for money and lustful.
At this time, jumping to his death was probably an act of revenge.
"Son, these shoes are nice. They'll match the outfit you just bought."
His mother held a pair of shoes and placed them in front of him.
"I'll try them on."
Zhao Yunhai continued trying on the shoes, indifferent to his mother's words.
His mother had said this about matching the outfit more than ten times, and he had tried on more than ten pairs, so he was numb.
Among the crowd watching the commotion outside, an ordinary-looking adult looked at the tragic state of the deceased with a look of schadenfreude in his eyes.
Good riddance, he thought. If he hadn't just mastered this ability, he would have tortured him further.
Suddenly, he felt someone staring at him, and he immediately withdrew from the crowd and left as if nothing had happened.
Ah Da watched the departing young man from a distance and frowned. This person's gaze was problematic.
So Ah Da made a call, asking someone to keep a close eye on this young man and check his background just in case.
If Young Master Yun asked about this matter, Ah Da would have something to report instead of being clueless.
If he didn't ask, then Ah Da would keep this matter in his heart and not bring it up proactively.
"Someone is following you. Do you want me to take care of them?"
Suddenly, a ghost appeared beside Chen Shou, who had just left the mall. It was a long-haired, red-robed female ghost.
As the female ghost appeared, people around instantly felt a chill.
"Aren't you afraid of the sun?" Chen Shou's attention was clearly elsewhere, staring at her intently.
Although no one around could see her, with such a bright sun, she was completely unaffected, which was strange.
"Hmph, what's so strange? I'm a ghost, not a spirit. There's a difference."
The red-robed female ghost said dismissively.
"So ghosts and spirits are different."
Chen Shou exclaimed in surprise.
This red-robed female ghost was actually found in the haunted house he owned. He didn't know why he wasn't afraid of her, and she didn't harm him.
"As for being followed, are you sure?"
Chen Shou still couldn't believe he had been discovered. After all, it was a ghost who had acted, not him.
Besides, there was no law stating that ghosts couldn't kill people.
"Of course I'm sure. These two people have been following you since the mall. Their eyes occasionally glance at you, ensuring you don't disappear from their sight."
The red-robed female ghost's hair floated up, as if it were about to snatch the lives of the people behind them in the next second.
"No, no, no. I won't harm innocent people, and I won't allow you to kill indiscriminately in front of me."
"And the Huang family's second son was just an exception."
Chen Shou quickly stopped her, afraid that she would suddenly go on a killing spree.
