In the blink of an eye, Er Zhu and his group had arrived at the Chang family residence. Gazing at the majestic and grand cluster of villas before him, Er Zhu thought of his own home.
Once, the Luo family had been like this, but now, everything had changed.
"A nouveau riche is still a nouveau riche. A cluster of villas amazes him so much. He's truly a country bumpkin!"
As Er Zhu was lost in thought, Chang Qing, mistaking Er Zhu's awe for the magnificent villas, leaned towards Chang Lin and whispered mockingly.
"Hmph, even if he's Grandpa's benefactor, he's still a complete bumpkin. I don't believe Grandpa can protect him all the time!"
Chang Lin scoffed and cast a disdainful glance at Er Zhu. He had been thinking all the way and had already devised a way to teach him a lesson:
That is, to kill him!
After all, Grandpa's poison had been neutralized, and the person who administered it had been taken away by Captain Wang. Whether he lived or died was of no consequence to Chang Lin.
Even if Grandpa regretted it later, by then the person would be dead, and what could he do?
"Divine Doctor, please come in quickly. The Master has been waiting for a long time."
The old butler, oblivious to the expressions of the Chang Qing brothers, made a gesture of invitation, his attitude towards Er Zhu exceptionally respectful.
Er Zhu said nothing. Under the old butler's guidance, they soon arrived at the living room. Chang Qing and the others followed closely, each with their own thoughts.
"Benefactor, I've finally found you. Please accept my bow!"
As soon as he entered the living room, Chang Mu Lin saw the benefactor he had longed for. As he spoke, he was about to kneel before Er Zhu, but Er Zhu quickly supported him.
"Elder Chang, there's no need for this. It was just a small matter."
Er Zhu helped Elder Chang to sit down, but Elder Chang's eyes remained fixed on him, filled with gratitude and admiration.
How many days had it been since he had been searching for Er Zhu's whereabouts, only for him to vanish into thin air? Fortunately, he had finally found him!
"Chang Qing, Chang Lin, come here!"
Remembering this, Elder Chang's face suddenly darkened. He reprimanded them with a frown.
"Grandpa." Seeing Chang Mu Lin's grim expression, the Chang brothers shivered and quickly knelt on the ground.
"Remember this: Mr. Wang is a benefactor of our Chang family. To seek revenge on him is to offend me!"
Elder Chang glared at the two with disappointment and reminded them loudly and unequivocally.
This statement was not only for Chang Qing and Chang Lin but for all the Chang family members!
Although he had had little contact with the outside world for many years, he was aware of the Chang family's poor reputation, especially among the younger generation!
"Yes, Grandpa, don't worry. We will not seek revenge on Mr. Wang again."
A flicker of murderous intent flashed in Chang Qing and Chang Lin's eyes. They suppressed their anger and replied.
Not seek revenge?
That was absolutely impossible!
This fellow had made them lose so much face and had caused them to miss a great opportunity to make money. This brat must pay a heavy price!
"Elder Chang, there's no need to be so polite. I am now the richest man in Hua Bei City. These people cannot harm me."
Although the Chang Qing brothers kept their heads lowered, Er Zhu had already seen the murderous glint in their eyes. However, he didn't say much.
Pfft...
The two couldn't help but chuckle. This nouveau riche was truly arrogant. Did he think being the richest man meant he could rest easy?
So what if he was the richest man? The richest man was still human, with only one life!
"Yes, so you are Wang Er Zhu, the richest man in Hua Bei City. Mr. Wang, you are truly remarkable."
Elder Chang was taken aback. Suddenly, as if he had realized something, his gaze became even more benevolent.
He had only managed to find Er Zhu's location and hadn't had time to investigate his identity. He never expected him to be the richest man in Hua Bei City!
Despite being the richest man, he lacked the arrogance and haughtiness of the noble families. Furthermore, his medical skills were so exquisite. Such young men were rare among the elite families!
Looking at Er Zhu before him, and then thinking of the disappointing younger generation of the Chang family, Elder Chang liked Er Zhu more and more. He even considered taking Er Zhu as his adopted son.
While Elder Chang and Er Zhu were chatting happily, the others discreetly withdrew. Just as Chang Qing was about to return to his bedroom, Chang Lin pulled him into his room.
"Brother, do you want revenge?" Before Chang Qing could speak, Chang Lin took out a bag of white powder and asked with a wicked grin.
"If you do, then let's poison him. What do you think?"
Chang Qing said nothing, but nodded silently. Then, the two huddled together, and an evil plan slowly took shape through their words.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for dinner. Elder Chang ordered the servants to prepare a lavish banquet. Er Zhu sat beside Elder Chang, while others were seated on both sides.
"Er Zhu, these are all delicacies air-freighted from abroad. Hurry and try them."
Elder Chang said as he served Er Zhu. Everyone at the table was stunned.
As the most authoritative person in the Chang family, he had never treated outsiders, let alone his own children and grandchildren, with such warmth. This Wang Er Zhu indeed held considerable influence!
Two middle-aged men beside Elder Chang exchanged glances. They scrutinized Er Zhu carefully, but after a long time, they couldn't discern anything special.
These two were Elder Chang's two sons. One was named Chang Tiancheng, and the other was Chang Tianlong, who was Chang Qing and Chang Lin's father!
"What is this kid's background? The old man is so enthusiastic towards him. He won't get involved in the Chang family's business, will he?"
Chang Tianlong watched Er Zhu vigilantly and then whispered to Chang Tiancheng, asking with concern.
Their father had always valued talent above all else. Any young man he admired would be invited to join the Chang Corporation. Now, there were more outsiders in the Chang Corporation than family members!
If these outsiders colluded to short the Chang family, their future would be precarious.
"Probably not. He's the richest man in Hua Bei City. He probably disdains participating in the family business of a wealthy clan."
Chang Tiancheng shook his head slightly, replying based on his father's introduction of this young man.
As the eldest son of the Chang family, Chang Tiancheng was mature and steady. However, as he had no children, his position in the Chang family was slightly lower than Chang Tianlong's.
"Hmph, I don't think so. This Wang Er Zhu doesn't look like a good person at all."
Chang Tianlong disagreed, shaking his head. He cast a contemptuous glance at Er Zhu, a cold glint in his eyes.
Richest man in Hua Bei City?
Wasn't Liu Lianliang the richest man in Hua Bei City? When did it become this nouveau riche?
This brat must be trying to please the old man, so he was talking nonsense. He had seen plenty of people like that!
Chang Tianlong's face darkened to the extreme. He wanted to expose Er Zhu, but then he saw his two sons gently shake their heads at him.
Before Chang Tianlong could react, he saw his two sons walk up to Er Zhu with a bottle of red wine. Seeing this, Chang Tianlong seemed to realize something!
