Zhao Guocheng realized it later and was a little amused. It turned out that Mr. Qian also liked wine. This was an easy solution.

"Of course, when there are good things, I will think of you." Shopkeeper Wang smiled.

At this time Azhi came.

"Dad, you're looking for me." When Azhi came in, he only saw Manager Wang and Mr. Qian. Zhao Guocheng was blocked by Manager Wang. Due to the line of sight, Azhi didn't see Zhao Guocheng at all.

"You're here just in time. Do you know this person?" Although Mr. Qian knew everything, he still pretended not to know.

Azhi walked forward and looked puzzled.

When he saw it was Uncle Zhao, he immediately laughed.

Then he remembered something and his smile instantly disappeared.

"Oh, it's Uncle Zhao, why are you here?" Azhi asked a little unfamiliarly.

Zhao Guocheng was shocked and a little bit unbelieving. This was Azhi.

He has grown taller but lost weight. The dark circles under his eyes are particularly obvious. What happened to Azhi?

"Ahem~~~I...I'm here to give you a gift. Even though it's not expensive, it's a token of our appreciation." Zhao Guocheng said.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao. I'll accept it this time. You don't have to send me anything in the future." Azhi declined politely.

"You've done me a favor, so I can't just let it go like this." Zhao Guocheng frowned, not understanding the meaning of Azhi's words for a moment.

"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, go over there and talk about it. We also have things to discuss here." Mr. Qian waved his hand.

Shopkeeper Wang nodded to Zhao Guocheng. Zhao Guocheng looked at Azhi, then looked at Mr. Qian and Shopkeeper Wang. Then he nodded and followed Azhi's footsteps.

Shopkeeper Wang and Mr. Qian were drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion.

Azhi brought Zhao Guocheng to a corridor in a courtyard.

"Uncle Zhao, why are you here?" Azhi's expression and actions this time were completely different from before.

"Azhi, did something happen to you? What happened?" Zhao Guocheng asked quickly.

"Uncle Zhao, it's okay. I just did something wrong and Mr. Qian punished me. I did it for your own good, so don't get too close to me. I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble." Ah Zhi lowered his head and said, his eyes red.

"Azhi, good boy, you won't cause any trouble for us. Tell me what you have to say, and I'll find a way for you. Shiying and Shisheng are all at the gate. Our whole family is here, but they can't get in. I sent you a New Year gift before the New Year, but it was rejected. I felt that something must have happened to you. You came here now, so you haven't suffered much, have you? Why do I feel that you have lost a lot of weight recently?" Zhao Guocheng touched Azhi's head.

"Uncle Zhao, I'm fine. I can handle it. Sister Shiying and the others are outside?" Azhi was surprised and wanted to go out to see them, but he knew he couldn't.

"Yes, they are all very worried about you," Zhao Guocheng said.

"Then I'll be satisfied." Ah Zhi smiled and almost cried, then burst into laughter.

"Uncle Zhao, try not to contact me after you go back. It seems that Mr. Qian only wants to target you. Because I am familiar with you, he investigated me, and I am afraid of causing trouble for you. Don't forget what happened in your childhood. So it is most important for you to protect sister Shiying. Try not to contact me after you go back. Just pretend that we don't know each other. If we are destined to meet again in the future, we will naturally get together again. Let's stay out of the limelight for a while and see. When I have the ability, I will take the initiative to contact you." Azhi said in a low voice, looking around before speaking.

"Is it that serious?" Zhao Guocheng stared.

Azhi nodded.

"He's going to deal with you, so you better be careful." Azhi frowned, his eyes full of worry.

Zhao Guocheng frowned and his expression changed immediately. No wonder Mr. Qian looked so strange when he saw him.

"Then aren't you in danger? Is he abusing you?" Zhao Guocheng asked anxiously.

Ah Zhi shook his head: "It's all in the past. I was just put under house arrest, not abused."

Zhao Guocheng breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, a servant came towards this side.

The two of them began to ask each other about each other's well-being and talk about some unimportant things.

"Young Master, the master said that Manager Wang is leaving." The servant came to inform.

Azhi nodded.

"Uncle Zhao, take care of yourselves, and don't send me anything in the future. I didn't help much, so I feel ashamed to accept it." Ah Zhi said, and then made a gesture of invitation.

"In that case, I won't say anything else. You should take care of yourself from now on." After saying this, Zhao Guocheng flicked his sleeves and walked out first.

Servant: Are the two of them having a falling out?

Ah Zhi looked at Zhao Guocheng a little sadly, and then followed with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. The servant saw it and would definitely report everything to the master later.

Wait for Zhao Guocheng and Manager Wang to come out.

Azhi returned to his room sadly, but he put away his sadness after returning to the room. He quickly opened the bag and took out the letter inside to check.

......

"Thank you so much, Manager Wang. If it weren't for you, we would definitely not be able to get in." Zhao Guocheng expressed his sincere gratitude.

"You're welcome. Mr. Qian is a frequent customer of our restaurant, and I make friends with him. This time I'll just keep in touch with him. But how's your business going?" asked Manager Wang.

"Don't worry, it's done. It's nothing serious. I just want to see how Master Azhi is doing. After all, he was kind to our family in the past. Now he's in trouble, and I want to help but I can't." Zhao Guocheng shook his head.

"Don't worry, I have inquired about it. Master Azhi has not suffered any hardship in the Yuanwai Mansion. Don't worry," said Wang, the shopkeeper.

"Well, let's go." Zhao Guocheng made a gesture of invitation to Shopkeeper Wang.

"Okay, then I have something to do, so I'll be back first. You guys can do whatever you want." Shopkeeper Wang nodded.

"Okay, next time I have time I will definitely have a drink with you. We brothers won't go home until we are drunk." Zhao Guocheng said.

"Okay, it's a deal." Shopkeeper Wang said with a smile, then said goodbye and left.

Zhao Guocheng came to the ox cart.

"Dad, have you seen Ah Zhi? What did you say?" Zhao Shisheng asked hurriedly.

Zhao Shiying also looked at Zhao Guocheng with anticipation, and she really wanted to know about Brother Azhi's situation and what happened to him.

In Zhao Shiying's mind, Brother Azhi is just like her eldest and second brothers, they are all real brothers, because Brother Azhi saved her.

Zhao Guocheng asked the others to be patient and drove the ox cart away from Qian Yuanwai's residence. He told them about Azhi's situation only after they reached a safe place.

Everyone is worried.

"Don't worry, his current situation is not the worst. As long as he doesn't have too much contact with you, nothing should happen. It's just that you and Azhi may become strangers for a while." Zhao Guocheng said.

"For everyone's safety, let's not contact each other." Zhao Shiying said dejectedly. She felt relieved knowing that Brother Azhi was fine.

"Okay, since Azhi is fine, let's not worry about it. We came to the county to play today. Why don't we go to Bailu Academy to find your uncle first? If he hasn't left yet, let's let him come out and relax together." Wang Ronghua said.

"Okay, let's go find my uncle." Zhao Shihui was the happiest.

Everyone was very happy, and the unhappiness just now faded away in an instant.
