Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Lu Yang nodded and immediately remembered that this man surnamed Sun was the boss Cheng Lin followed in his previous life.

Sun was finally brought to justice in 2000.

He was once very powerful and influential, and the number of people who died at his hands was probably too many for him to count.

If Deputy Director Zhao's younger brother hangs out with him, he'll develop a violent and aggressive personality.

It's highly possible that he got into a conflict with his brother, acted impulsively, and killed him.

Lu Yang quickly said, "Should we remind Deputy Director Zhao to hire some bodyguards or something, and not let him be alone with his brother?"

Qian Jianyun looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked with a smile, "Why are you so concerned about Deputy Director Zhao?"

Lu Yang spoke frankly: "Of course it's to build connections. You introduced me to this person, and we've only known each other for a few days. What if he gets killed by his brother?"

"I need to rebuild my network, which also requires effort and resources."

Qian Jianyun couldn't help but laugh. He nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I will mention the effort and cost of building connections to Deputy Director Zhao, but I can't guarantee whether he will listen."

Seeing Qian Jianyun's expression, Lu Yang knew that he wasn't taking it seriously and that he would have to rely on himself.

After finishing their meal, the two parted ways, with Lu Yang heading straight to a nearby bodyguard company.

This bodyguard company is run by veterans, so the recruits are mostly veterans who are skilled and capable.

Lu Yang hired four people inside and had them disguise themselves and follow Deputy Director Zhao.

Based on the timeline, Deputy Director Zhao's death in his previous life was at most half a month away.

He hoped nothing bad had happened in the past two weeks. The butterfly effect saved Deputy Director Zhao from disaster.

But then he thought of Yu Jinhua and knew that things weren't that simple.

After assigning the tasks, he continued with his own work.

A few days later, he began to set up a catering company, which was located in a commercial area on the west side of the city.

Without the help of that minister from the Housing Bureau, Lu Yang definitely wouldn't have had the chance to acquire this commercial building.

The building has a total of 8 floors above ground and 2 floors below ground. Each floor has an area of ​​more than 400 square meters, which is enough for their small company.

Lu Yang spent a total of over 400 million yuan, which is practically a steal.

Even if you have the money, it's hard to buy a house in such a location.

Lu Yang was genuinely grateful, and he invited Minister Yu from the Housing Bureau and Qian Jianyun to dinner.

The three chatted happily. Minister Yu was either genuinely approachable or just trying to curry favor with Qian Jianyun, but he was very polite to Lu Yang.

After the meal, Lu Yang specially gave her two cigarettes to prevent her from getting sick, and she accepted them with a smile.

Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. After completing all the formalities, he began to recruit workers.

Zheng Yuntao and Zhou Zhimin rushed over to help. Lu Yang wanted to merge Yangcheng Market into the catering company, which would be considered a department, so their participation was naturally needed.

The three of them worked hard for a long time and finally got the company up and running by the end of the month.

Qian Jianyun also rushed over when the company cut the ribbon.

Lu Yang originally thought that he was there to support him, but Qian Jianyun's expression was not good.

It wasn't until the ribbon-cutting ceremony was over that Qian Jianyun pulled Lu Yang aside to a corner.

He asked seriously, "Did you hire bodyguards for Deputy Director Zhao? Four of them, no less?"

Lu Yang was somewhat surprised: "Yes, how did you know?"

Qian Jianyun scratched his head, unsure of what expression to make.

He gave a wry smile and said, "Deputy Director Zhao had an argument with his brother yesterday, and in a fit of rage, his brother tried to push Deputy Director Zhao off the building."

"But the bodyguards you hired rushed over and beat his brother so badly that he ended up in the hospital. Deputy Director Zhao suffered a mild concussion and was also hospitalized that afternoon."

"Once he recovered, he immediately asked the bodyguards what had happened. The bodyguards said directly that you hired them to protect him. Deputy Director Zhao wants to see you now."

Lu Yang blinked; he knew that what was bound to happen would definitely happen.

So he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go tell the two managers first, and then we'll go to the hospital to visit Deputy Director Zhao."

Qian Jianyun nodded, and after Lu Yang walked away, he narrowed his eyes.

Two weeks ago, Lu Yang told him that Deputy Director Zhao might have been harmed by his younger brother, and he was somewhat skeptical.

They felt that even if Deputy Director Zhao's brother was utterly depraved, he wouldn't dare harm a deputy director of a bureau; he must have had enough of living.

I never expected his younger brother to actually dare to do it, and to kill him.

If Lu Yang hadn't hired bodyguards to protect Deputy Director Zhao, Deputy Director Zhao would definitely have been thrown off the building by his brother.

Moreover, his younger brother is now a favorite of Boss Sun. If he were to ask Boss Sun for help, Boss Sun might actually cover for him.

After all, Boss Sun and Deputy Director Zhao had a grudge against each other. Boss Sun was the kind of person who evaded taxes and used every means to avoid paying them.

Qian Jianyun broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this.

After Lu Yang finished explaining things, he immediately pulled Lu Yang and rushed to the hospital.

When the two arrived at the hospital, Deputy Director Zhao was taking his medicine. He was pale, but his eyes were bright, and he looked to be in good spirits.

"Lu Yang, come in quickly. You're welcome. No need to bring gifts."

When Deputy Director Zhao saw Lu Yang carrying large and small bags, he couldn't help but smile and say something.

Lu Yang said calmly, "These are just ordinary tonics. You're injured, you should eat more good food. How are you feeling?"

Deputy Director Zhao sighed and said helplessly, "It's alright. I really didn't expect you to hire bodyguards for me and have them following me for so long."

Lu Yang said helplessly, "To be honest, as an outsider doing business here, although I have a few locals helping me, the locals I befriend are all honest, ordinary people, so I have been threatened by gangsters before."

“I know all too well how ruthless people in the underworld can be, so when Qian Jianyun mentioned your brother, I became more wary.”

"I had been a little less vigilant because your brother hadn't made a move on you for so long, and I was thinking of withdrawing the bodyguards. I didn't expect him to still make a move."

Deputy Director Zhao sighed deeply. Before he could speak, a commotion and a heated argument erupted in the corridor.

His face instantly darkened, and he turned to his secretary beside him and said, "Call the security guards up here and have them ask all those people outside to leave."

The secretary responded and quickly walked out the door.

Soon, the corridor became completely quiet.

Lu Yang and Qian Jianyun chatted with Deputy Director Zhao for a while.

Seeing that he seemed a bit listless, he quickly got up to say goodbye.

Deputy Director Zhao smiled and said, "If you need any help in the future, just let me know. If I can help, I will do my best."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "You should focus on getting better first. I don't really need any help right now. Please be careful in the future."

"To put it bluntly, even an upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes. Even if he beats you so badly that you end up in the hospital, you still can't severely punish him, can you?"
