Dingdong. The elevator arrived and the door slowly opened.

There were two people in the elevator. One was a waiter pulling a cart, and the other was a middle-aged man carrying a duffel bag.

The man looked to be around 40 years old. He was wearing a long-sleeved tunic on such a hot day. His hair was combed meticulously, making him look like an old scholar.

"Little Zhao!" Lei Zhenhu affectionately called out to the middle-aged man.

"Mister Zhao!" Xia Jiang and the others also shouted. They all had warm expressions on their faces, as if this middle-aged man surnamed Zhao was their old friend.

The middle-aged man surnamed Zhao smiled and walked out of the elevator with his luggage. He walked in front of Lei Zhenhu and said with a smile, "Old Master Lei, we haven't seen each other in the past few years but you haven't seen an old man at all!"

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a few years. You are much more mature than when I first saw you. Are you from Jiang Yuan City?" Lei Zhenhu asked.

"That's right!" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The high speed rail is a bit late, it's already 10 am when we get off the high speed rail. The middle-aged man nodded and said," The high speed rail is a bit late, it's already 10 am when we get off the high speed rail.

"Mr. Zhao, why didn't you say so earlier? I'll send a car to pick you up." Xia Jiang quickly said.

"No, it's not the same. We still have to block the road. We can't just fly because it's your car, right? Ha ha, everyone can go in now. With so many of you waiting for me, it really makes me feel flattered! " The middle-aged man said with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go!" Lei Zhenhu pulled the middle-aged man by the hand, chatting warmly as they walked towards the banquet hall.

Xu Taiping walked a few steps closer to Xia Jiang and asked in a low voice, "Boss Xia, where is this from?"

"Zhao Taiheng." Xia Jiang said in a low voice, "People from the Zhao family in Beijing."

"Capital's Zhao Family?!" Xu Taiping's eyes lit up. This was the second time he had heard about the Zhao Family from someone else. He was curious about this mysterious Zhao Family. After all, this family had once stood at a very high position in the capital.

"A physicist." Xia Jiang said.

"Physicist?!" Xu Taiping was confused by Xia Jiang's words. This Zhao family, even if they were not from the martial world, at least they had something to do with this. At the very least, they had to be someone who could be killed, but they turned out to be a scholar.

"There are all kinds of people in the Zhao Family. This Zhao Taiheng received the National Science and Technology Progress Award, and he's also a Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It's said that he hosts many scientific research projects in the country, and even the Head of State received him." Xia Jiang said in a low voice.

"What a magical Zhao family." Xu Taiping sighed. A family like the Jianghu could actually nurture a national academician. Besides being magical, Xu Taiping could not find any other words to describe them.

"This kind of person is the kind of person that we shouldn't offend the most." Xia Jiang said, "Whoever dares to offend him, the country will have to clean you up before the Zhao family does anything. Quickly go in and drink a cup of wine with him in a while and get to know him well.

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded and followed Xia Jiang into the banquet hall.

Lei Zhenhu pulled Zhao Taiheng and sat down at the main table. Xia Jiang didn't have any objections to the fact that someone had moved one of the seats away from Xia Jiang's. Zhao Taiheng was indeed an awesome person.

"Old man, this time, it's your birthday. The seniors in our family are also very concerned about you, so I specially wrote a set of words for you." Zhao Taiheng opened the duffel bag as he spoke, and took out something that looked like a scroll from the duffel bag.

"Is that so?" Lei Zhenhu exclaimed in surprise, "Old Zhao still remembers me?!"

"Of course, Great Grandfather said he still remembers how you were when you started your Taoism. In the blink of an eye, sixty years have passed, and that little tiger has become the current Old Master Lei. Time flies, Great Grandfather said so himself, I will pass on these words to you, there is no disrespect for you!" Zhao Taiheng smiled.

"Old Man Zhao actually still remembers me." Lei Zhenhu excitedly said to Xia Jiang as his hands trembled, "Little Xia, clean up the table, I want to see the Old Master's calligraphy."

"Alright!" Xia Jiang nodded. He then cleaned up the table, placed the scroll on the table, and opened it bit by bit.

The words slowly appeared in front of everyone.

"Old pine, old pine."

These five words were written in a vigorous and forceful manner. Just by looking at the person who had written these words, one could tell that he had profound calligraphy skills. The strength that was directed at him was enough to cause one's soul to tremble.

At the bottom left corner of the five words was a name written in grass. Beneath the name was a seal with ancient characters written on it, something Xu Taiping had never seen before, so he didn't understand. As for the name written in grass, Xu Taiping probably understood it.

He could understand it, but Xu Taiping felt that he might have misread it. A person who could write such a vigorous and powerful character would at least have a refined name. How could he have such a vulgar name?

Zhao Gang Ming? These three words were extremely vulgar.

"It's really Old Master Zhao's calligraphy. It's really true!" Lei Zhenhu touched the three words' Zhao Gang 'excitedly, "How many years has it been since I last saw Old Master Zhao? How is Old Master Zhao's health right now?"

"My body is still healthy. I can still eat one catty of meat, five steamed buns and two bowls of rice porridge every day." Zhao Taiheng said with a smile.

"This appetite is even better than mine. Go back and tell the Old Master that I received his gift, and thank him for his kindness. He still remembers me as a little tiger after so many years. When Old Master is free, I will personally visit him in the capital." Lei Zhenhu said excitedly.

"I will pass on your words to the Old Master." Zhao Taiheng picked up the wine cup on the table and said, "Old Master, let me give you a toast."

"Alright, alright, Jia Ying, pour some wine for Little Zhao!" Lei Zhenhu quickly said.

"Yes, grandfather!" Lei Jiaoying, who was wearing a cold expression before, now had a humble and gentle smile on her face. She poured a cup of wine for Zhao Taiheng and threw him a coquettish look. Unfortunately, Zhao Taiheng's attention was not on her, so her coquettish eyes were completely blind.

After pouring the wine, just as Lei Jia Ying was about to put down the bottle, Lei Zhenhu handed her a cup and said, "Give me one too."

"Grandpa, didn't you stop drinking?" Lei Jiayi asked.

"This goblet of wine is for Old Master Zhao. I have to drink it no matter what." Lei Zhenhu said.

"Yes." Lei Jiaxin nodded and quickly poured some wine for Lei Zhenhu.

"Old Master, I wish you the best of luck, your life is longer than Nanshan." Zhao Taiheng said as he held the wine cup with both hands.

"Thank you, thank you." Lei Zhenhu also held his wine cup with both hands and clinked with Zhao Taiheng. Then, the two of them drank up the wine in the cup together.

"Put the words away!" Lei Zhenhu said to Lei Jiaoying.

"Yes, grandfather!" Lei Jiayi carefully kept the words before placing the dishes and wine back on the table. Only then did the group sit back down.

"Mr. Zhao, I am Xia Jiang. I have heard a lot about the Zhao Family. It is my greatest honor to meet a girl today." Xia Jiang held the wine cup and said to Zhao Taiheng with a smile.

"Boss Xia, it's been a long time." Zhao Taiheng smiled, picked up the glass and clinked it with Xia Jiang's, then drank the wine under the blanket in one gulp. Seems to be very generous to Xia Jiangzi.

The other side gave him face, so Xia Jiang naturally also quickly drank his wine.

"Actually, I came to Jiangyuan City today because I have one more thing to ask of Eldest Brother Xia." Zhao Taiheng said.

"If Mr. Zhao has anything to say, just say it. If I can do it, I'll definitely do my best!" Xia Jiang said seriously.

"It's like this, I have a nephew named Zhao Yongliang. I wonder if Boss Xia can recognize him." Zhao Taiheng said.

"Zhao Yongliang?!" Xia Jiang frowned slightly and said, "I do. To be honest, this person is in my hands now."

"Ai!" My nephew is the child of my third brother. My third brother is in the business and has a tough temper, so he has very high expectations of his family members, so many times, my third brother will look down on Yong Liang, he is a very strong child, so he always wants to do something to gain my third brother's approval. When I came to Jiangyuan City, I found out that he might have done some bad things to my eldest brother, and now it is also in your hands.

"Well, I didn't expect that Zhao Yonglian would be your nephew." Xia Jiang sighed, "If that's the case, then he can be considered to be Old Master Zhao's direct bloodline."

"That's right. I came this time to bring Yonglian back as well. He has violated some of our Zhao Family's rules, so I want to bring him back to receive punishment." Zhao Taiheng said.

"Since you have already spoken, I must give you face." Xia Jiang nodded, "We only controlled Zhao Yonglian and didn't do anything to him. I can immediately get some people to release him and have him come over."

"That would be for the best." Zhao Taiheng reached out to grab Xia Jiang's hand and said, "Thank you, Boss Xia. If you need any help from our Zhao Family, just ask."

"That would be too foreign. It's just that little kids aren't very sensible, so it's not really that big of a deal. " As Xia Jiang spoke, he raised his hand and called over Xu Taiping.

"Go and bring Zhao Yonglian here, his family is here to pick him up." Xia Jiang said.

"Got it." Xu Taiping nodded, turned and walked out of the banquet hall. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
