Chapter 770: Chapter 769: Looking for Trouble
Such expenses were also enormous for him.
You must know that even he only had twenty percent of the family shares, which was already his greatest wealth.
Yet now, Zhao Tianming had spent so much, and his heart was filled with a sense of pain.
"Tianming, are you really going to take out this painting?"
"Hmph, I just don’t believe that he, Zhao Tianming, would dare to do anything to us!"
After hearing the girl beside him ask this, Zhao Tianming took a deep breath to calm himself and then said, "Of course, why should I let myself suffer a loss!"
"This painting is my life!"
Zhao Tianming said through gritted teeth.
Although he had a lot of money, if he brought this painting back to the family, he would definitely be scolded by the Family Head.
Therefore, to avoid such a situation, he had no choice but to buy the painting.
"Alright, once this painting is auctioned off, we’ll transfer it overseas!"
Hearing Zhao Tianming’s words, the girl next to him also hurriedly spoke up.
"Good!"
Zhao Tianming nodded without hesitation.
He knew that transferring the painting abroad was not an easy task.
But as long as he could get the painting out of the country, he would not be afraid of people causing trouble in the future.
This was the Zhao Family’s strongest influence within the country!
"Zhao Tianming, I warn you, if you dare to ruin the Zhao Family’s big plan this time, I guarantee you will regret it!"
At this moment, the old man looked at Zhao Tianming coldly and said.
"Who are you?"
"What right do you have to say this to me?"
Hearing the elder’s words, Zhao Tianming scoffed and said, "Moreover, what right do you have to scare me!"
"Heh heh..."
After hearing Zhao Tianming’s words, the old man also smiled and shook his head.
He hadn’t expected that in the eyes of this junior, his own status would be so lowly.
"Zhao Tianming, who I am is not important, what is important is that the owner of the painting has already decided to sell it to me, we are just partners, but once this gets out, it will definitely have a big impact on the Zhao Family. So, I advise you, it’s best not to cross me now," said the old man coldly, filled with threat.
"Heh heh, then I really want to see just how much this painting is worth," said Zhao Tianming with a laugh.
"Hmph, if that’s the case, I’ll wait and see."
"And, you’d better not try any tricks, otherwise, don’t blame me for not being polite," the elder said before turning and leaving.
Behind him, the girl named Zhao Ling was also frowning tightly, seemingly strongly disapproving of Zhao Tianming’s actions.
But, she was well aware inside that they were now in the same boat, so she had no choice but to silently endure the outcome.
And she also believed that Zhao Tianming would not dare to mess around.
After all, this was the Zhao Family’s territory.
"Humph! I don’t believe you dare to bring this painting back to the country!"
"Moreover, even if I were to bring it back, I would make it disappear without a trace!"
Thinking this, Zhao Ling let out a scornful laugh.
But just as she had finished laughing, her expression changed dramatically.
Because her senses suddenly detected someone entering this private room.
And, his strength was even slightly higher than her own!
At that moment, her face turned pale instantly.
However, she steadied her emotions immediately, and said coldly, "Who!"
"Hehe, Miss Zhao, I came specifically to invite you to my room for a cup of tea. What, Miss Zhao won’t grant me this favor?"
A faint smile lingered on Zhao Tianming’s face.
Zhao Tianming, slender in build, nevertheless had two knife scars on his cheeks.
As he spoke with a smile, the scars on his cheeks seemed even more ferocious.
Upon hearing Zhao Tianming’s words, Zhao Ling couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
She knew she was facing danger.
This was her first time in such a situation, yet she hadn’t expected the other party to be so brazen!
"What do you want!"
Zhao Ling’s voice was also trembling slightly as she spoke.
"Hehe, nothing much, just that your friend seems to be in trouble, and I thought I might help her out. I wonder, Miss Zhao, would you be interested in joining this game?"
"Game?"
After hearing Zhao Tianming’s words, Zhao Ling was startled.
Nevertheless, she soon recalled that the boy had mentioned something about a game before.
With this realization, she quickly grasped the situation.
Their friend must have caught the attention of those people as well.
At this time, Zhao Tianming also cast his gaze on Zhao Ling and said coldly, "Your friend is also my enemy. I hope you can join us on the same front. How about it?"
"My friend, is your enemy?"
Zhao Ling was astonished, and then couldn’t help but laugh.
"You two shouldn’t be familiar, right?"
"Moreover, given your relationship, it’s not likely you could be my friend!"
Having said that, Zhao Ling shook her head involuntarily.
Although she didn’t know the exact grievances between Zhao Tianming and that boy, she knew from the boy’s actions that he must have had a grudge against Zhao Tianming.
But what she didn’t know was that, in fact, all of this had indeed started because of her.
"Hehe..."
Zhao Tianming also said with a smile, "We can talk about this matter later."
"My time is limited, so now, please excuse me for taking the liberty of asking Miss Zhao to accompany me."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ling’s complexion turned somewhat unsightly.
Because she could see that Zhao Tianming was determined to take her with him and that if she didn’t agree, he would not give up.
In such a situation, she had no other choice but to follow Zhao Tianming.
But before leaving, she glared fiercely at Lin Feng.
At that moment, Lin Feng merely shrugged his shoulders, not particularly concerned about the matter.
It had to be said, Zhao Tianming’s audacity was quite impressive for daring to act this way.
Moreover, judging from the situation here, he shouldn’t be just any ordinary rich second-generation, as owning such a luxurious private room also required a certain level of power.
Once Zhao Tianming led Zhao Ling away, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number.
"I’ve found Zhao Ling. She is currently with a young man named Lin Feng, and they seem to be going somewhere. You guys get ready. As soon as I hand over the painting to that girl, snatch the painting directly."
After saying this, he hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Zhao Ling couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, yet her heart was filled with anger.
"Humph, you bastard, how despicable!"
"But my strength isn’t equal to yours, otherwise, I would have killed you already!"
With these thoughts, Zhao Ling cursed in her heart.
