Chapter 73

"Preparations for the election, how are they coming along?" Jiang Han saw Zhao Zhiqiang to the door and asked with concern as they were about to part ways. She noticed carefully that the Zhao Zhiqiang she saw this time seemed like a completely different person compared to the one before the New Year. His physical condition had improved significantly, and the clothes he wore were even branded, though not from a very famous brand, but this outfit indeed looked much better than the old military coat without rank.

Zhao Zhiqiang smiled, "It's going well. I guarantee I won't be worse than the others."

"Can you give me a hint about the case?"

"I can. I just got the news today, the land on two streets has been transferred to the country!" Zhao Zhiqiang smiled as he got into the car.

"Smooth talker." Watching Zhao Zhiqiang drive away, Jiang Han felt a bit choked. She had wanted to help him, but this guy seemed to not want to owe her any favors.

In her previous view, Zhao Zhiqiang didn't have an advantage, after all, raising funds was about connections and financial resources. But now she had changed her mind. Someone who could donate 500,000 yuan at any time seemed to be something the other three couldn't do.

Zhao Zhiqiang used the method of scattering wealth, spending a thousand gold to gain 50 times the energy. He only played with the children for a few minutes before he had to leave because his brother sent a text saying that an old man named Zhou Shunzhang had come to the house, bringing half a carload of gifts!

...

Zhou Shunzhang.

Zhao Zhiqiang didn't know who he was, but he remembered that he was the owner of the Korean bodyguard, with white hair, very spirited, and the one who wanted to see his fortune. It seemed that when he was preaching to Gu Quanyou in the restaurant, Zhou Shunzhang had picked up on something.

Meeting someone is a matter of fate. Zhao Zhiqiang thought about it. Since the other party had come so many times, he couldn't be too unreasonable.

When he returned to his home in Baihe Garden, there were indeed half a room full of gifts, even some rare ginseng.

Zhou Shunzhang was sitting on the sofa, chatting animatedly with his parents.

"Hehe, young friend, you're finally back!"

Zhou Shunzhang immediately stood up to greet Zhao Zhiqiang as soon as he saw him enter the door.

Zhao Zhiqiang scratched his head a bit awkwardly, "Sorry, Mr. Zhou, I've wanted to visit you several times but never had the chance."

Zhou Shunzhang laughed, "Young friend, you're busy with many things. Being able to see you is a great honor."

Hearing this, Zhao Jincai and Hua Xuemei, who were standing beside him, were completely confused.

"Mom, I have some things to discuss with Mr. Zhou, so I won't be eating at home tonight." After saying goodbye to his family, he got into Zhou Shunzhang's car, which drove directly to the Jinzun Hotel.

Mei Jun had already prepared. As soon as he saw the boss's car return, he immediately came forward to greet them.

On the eighth floor.

On the way, Zhao Zhiqiang just chatted casually with Zhou Shunzhang. Upon hearing about his campaign for village chief, Zhou Shunzhang was quite surprised.

"Mr. Zhao, you are truly a great man hidden among the common people. I truly admire you!"

Sitting in the opulent presidential suite, Zhou Shunzhang laughed heartily and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are truly a great man hidden among the common people. I truly admire you!" After saying this, he gestured.

Jin Mingzhe, as if carrying a dead dog, brought Bai Haijun to the zitan wood chair where Zhou and Zhao were sitting.

"Boss, I've brought him!"

Zhao Zhiqiang was a bit surprised. He looked at Bai Haijun, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling and not daring to lift his head, and then at Zhou Shunzhang.

"Mr. Zhao, you are truly a man of great virtue and righteousness!"

Zhou Shunzhang stood up abruptly, "This guy actually hired someone to harm you! He truly doesn't know his place. Mr. Zhao, what do you want? His life or his legs?"

Zhao Zhiqiang casually picked a grape, peeled it, and threw it into his mouth, smiling, "No need, Mr. Zhou. I've already told President Mei and the others that this matter is over. Besides, Lone Wolf didn't accomplish anything and was caught by the police. Let's just let it go. Moreover, Mr. Bai has compensated me with some money. It's a small matter, not worth mentioning. Let him go."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhiqiang's words, Bai Haijun immediately kowtowed on the ground!

The sound of his head hitting the ground was loud.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, thank you, Mr. Zhao..."

Zhou Shunzhang's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Hmph, Mr. Zhao is a man of great virtue and righteousness, but your crimes cannot be forgiven. The hired killer has already confessed to you. You deal with the rest yourself. Get out!"

"Yes, yes, boss, this was all my doing. I'll go to the police station to turn myself in and expose Zhao Tiejun. He's the one who hired the killer! Thank you, boss, thank you, Mr. Zhao, for sparing my life."

He spoke while crying and backing out of the door.

After leaving the room, he took a deep breath.

At least his life was saved. Compared to being in the hands of Boss Zhou, going to jail was much better.

Only now did he realize that one of the legendary Northeast Tigers was actually his mysterious and rarely seen boss!

Going to jail might mean a fixed term, but under Boss Zhou, if you crossed him, you would either die or be crippled. He had heard that dozens of people had been thrown into the sea and disappeared...

Rich enough to rival a country, with connections reaching the heavens, and ruthless, such a boss made Bai Haijun's legs tremble. And Mr. Zhao, who could sit and chat with him as equals!

Damn, Zhao Tiejun, I'll make you pay for this! I'll make you suffer before I go to jail!

Jin Mingzhe carefully closed the door and stood guard outside.

Zhou Shunzhang respectfully bowed to Zhao Zhiqiang, "Mr. Zhao, please forgive my intrusion. I had no choice but to come and disturb you."

Zhao Zhiqiang calmly waved his hand, "Mr. Zhou, please sit. Hehe, don't flatter me. I'm just an ordinary person, not the kind of person you imagine. However, if I can help you, I will do my best."

Zhou Shunzhang felt greatly relieved.

He immediately opened a small, exquisite bag, took out a platinum card from a Swiss bank, and pushed it towards Zhao Zhiqiang.

"Here are five million US dollars. I only ask that you help me resolve a doubt."

Zhao Zhiqiang stopped the card, using considerable force. He also felt that the other party's strength was not that of a man in his fifties or sixties. This person, like Old Lin, was a semi-practitioner with some skills.

"Mr. Zhou, please speak. However, I really don't know fortune-telling. Hehe. As for the money, we can talk about it later."

Zhou Shunzhang smiled, "Mr. Zhao, you are too kind. There are many forms of divination, and fortune-telling is just one of them. Well, I've encountered some troubles in the past two years. I saw you bestowing good fortune on that guest, and I also wanted to ask for peace and safety..."

Zhao Zhiqiang summoned his spiritual energy and opened his financial eye. A faint golden light slowly rose and enveloped the white-haired old man opposite him!

One thread could only see the present, three threads could see three years into the future!

Since Zhao Zhiqiang had decided to act, he was prepared to give this old man a serious reading.

The copper coin information mentioned that a person has four fortunes: blessings, rank, wealth, and longevity, which are interdependent. Peace and safety are related to longevity, and the financial eye could see this clearly.

Before Zhou Shunzhang could continue, Zhao Zhiqiang had already seen some of the information through his financial eye.

In the past twenty years, his wealth had grown rapidly, spreading across several countries, reaching nearly several billion dollars in assets. He was surrounded by countless people, had over a dozen close women, and had strong protection in the political arena, which shielded him from many dangers. Despite several close calls, he remained a prominent figure in the four northeastern provinces!

However, in the past two years, his eldest and most intelligent son had died, followed by his two youngest daughters falling ill. Recently, his third and fourth sons, who were studying in South Korea, had fought over a woman, resulting in one being injured in the leg and the other in the arm, both hospitalized.

In addition, in the past year, he seemed to have a major ominous sign, a dark cloud hovering over his head, much more than the death aura that Gu Quanyou had, but he had a golden light protecting him!

This was something Zhao Zhiqiang had never seen before.

After staring for a long time, he understood that the golden light was the financial luck that the copper coin had sensed. This person was in a period of great fortune, and minor disasters could not affect him.

Could it be that the misfortune had been transferred?

He observed again.

Zhou Shunzhang, who was about to explain the situation, saw that Mr. Zhao's eyes were different and stopped talking, patiently sitting there to be observed. Although it was uncomfortable, he knew that this was a true master!

Sitting and observing, raising his head to look, one glance to determine the fortune, one step to set the trend, this is what the feng shui world says. Could this person be a master of destiny?

He should be.

Although Zhou Shunzhang had been enjoying life for a long time and could walk with impunity in the four northeastern provinces, he dared not be careless when it came to his life and the fortune of his family. He sat obediently, allowing Zhao Zhiqiang to focus on observing him.

Using three threads of spiritual energy, Zhao Zhiqiang still did not find the answer. His intuition told him that this was a man-made disaster. Because Mr. Zhou's financial luck was so strong, it extended his lifespan, and although his blessings and rank were not at the highest level, they were still very high. Even if he had incurred the wrath of heaven and suffered from death aura, his lifespan would not be greatly affected.

Determined, Zhao Zhiqiang used two more threads of spiritual energy, channeling them into his left eye. In his mind, he heard the sound of copper coins clinking, and a black channel with a round outer and square inner shape opened after the copper coin absorbed the 50 times the energy.

The financial eye could see through to the heavens.

This was a high-level technique that opened when one saw money. Zhao Zhiqiang had never known how to use it before, but now he understood that it required spiritual energy to activate the eye, followed by mental power to enhance it.

However, the 50 times the energy only allowed him to open this black hole for three seconds.

After three seconds, Zhao Zhiqiang's face turned pale, and he slumped down, drained of energy.

Zhou Shunzhang was startled. This process seemed identical to what he had seen in the restaurant. He thought, this master is really using his powers. When he warned that person's wife, he saved his life. So, the master might have an answer to what has been happening to him recently?

But seeing the changes in Master Zhao, this was not an act, it was very similar to the feeling of a martial artist losing blood and energy!

It was eerie and mysterious.

Zhou Shunzhang, a big shot in the life and death world, dared not even breathe heavily.

Zhao Zhiqiang was indeed drained of spiritual energy, blood, and energy!

This financial eye that could see through to the heavens, he would definitely use it sparingly or not at all in the future. But in these three seconds, he really saw what he wanted to see.

He took a deep breath, sat up straight, and smiled bitterly, staring at Zhou Shunzhang.

Zhou Shunzhang immediately perked up, leaning in a bit and asking softly, "Mr. Zhao, would you like to rest a bit?"

Zhao Zhiqiang waved his hand and shook his head, "No need. Mr. Zhou, I have a question. Do you believe in fate?"
