I contacted several other colleagues, and their reactions were the same; as soon as they heard the words "Zhao Family," they immediately found excuses to avoid the conversation. The influence of the Zhao Family is immense, and they must have done something to these colleagues, which is why they dare not disclose any information.
I told Wanqing about this, and she fell silent for a moment. "Jinxuan, I've noticed the same thing. I reached out to my friends in the art community, and as soon as they hear the name 'Zhao Family,' they all go silent. Some even ignore me completely."
"It seems that the Zhao Family has not only issued a warning to our firm but has also warned our social circle."
"What do they want?"
"I don't know, but I do know that their power is far greater than we imagine." I felt an invisible pressure.
"Wanqing, it's best if we don't meet or talk on the phone during this time. Let's communicate through WeChat if anything comes up."
"Okay, I understand."
"Also, we must be very careful not to let the Zhao Family discover that we are investigating them."
"I understand; you can rest assured."
The Zhao Family has engaged in many charitable activities over the years, using their influence to present themselves as a company concerned with people's livelihoods and dedicated to public welfare. Under my suggestion, Su Wanqing participated in a charity event organized by the Zhao Family.
At this event, Su Wanqing unexpectedly received a bead from a bracelet. This bead originally belonged to an Old Butler, and after some effort, Su Wanqing finally learned from him about its origin. It was obtained from the hideout of the Zhao Family Brothers.
Su Wanqing and I met in a secluded place to share the information we had gathered.
"It seems that this hideout is where the evidence of the Zhao Family Brothers' crimes is stored."
"We must get inside."
"But if we go in, it might raise suspicions from the Zhao Family."
"We've already raised their suspicions, so we need to act before they fully realize it."
I looked at Su Wanqing; her face was somewhat pale, and her expression was serious.
“Su Wanqing, you should go back first. I need to think of a solution.”
After Su Wanqing left, I sat alone in place, lost in thought.
The battle with the Zhao Family had just begun, and we were already deeply entangled.
We must win; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Two days later, we prepared everything and planned to investigate that hideout.
There, we would surely find crucial evidence to bring the Zhao Family to justice.
However, just as we were about to set off, I received a phone call.
It was an anonymous call; the person on the other end used a voice changer, their voice deep and rough, clearly altered.
“Lin Attorney, what have you been busy with lately?”
A chill ran down my spine, but I forced myself to remain calm.
“Sir, I don’t know what you’re talking about. As a lawyer, I’m naturally busy with various cases.”
The person on the other end chuckled lightly.
“Lin Attorney, let’s not beat around the bush. We know exactly what you’re looking for.”
“You don’t need to play tricks with us; don’t force what doesn’t belong to you.”
“Otherwise, it will harm both you and us.”
I hung up the phone, my face pale with anger.
Su Wanqing looked at me with concern.
“Who called?”
I took a deep breath.
“It was the Zhao Family.”
“What did they say?”
“They know we are investigating them and warned us not to meddle.”
Su Wanqing's expression also turned grim.
"What should we do then? Do we still need to go to that hideout?"
I thought for a moment and finally made up my mind.
"Let's go, why not?"
