Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Chapter 270 The Gao Brothers: A Show of Acting Skills!

Jinghai Dongshan Funeral Home.

Two large black Mercedes-Benz cars sped into the courtyard.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Jin Zhiyong and Wu Qi simultaneously opened the doors and got out.

They are the major shareholders of Jinghai Construction Group.

Jin Zhiyong owns 16% of the shares, second only to the founder and chairman Chen Tai.

After getting out of the car, the two went straight to the largest farewell hall in the funeral home.

However, the staff were still busy setting up the funeral hall and did not see Chen Tai's body.

"Gao Qiqiang!"

"Gao Qiqiang!!"

Jin Zhiyong put his hands on his hips and shouted loudly.

"coming!"

Gao Qiqiang walked over quickly.

"Where is Old Chen's body?"

Jin Zhiyong, who was fat and strong, asked loudly.

Gao Qiqiang raised his hand and pointed to the mortuary behind him.

"I hired the best mortician, and they are currently preparing my godfather's body for burial."

Jin Zhiyong and Wu Qi immediately went over.

"Wait a moment!"

"I advise you not to go in for the time being."

"The violent car accident left my godfather unrecognizable, looking utterly miserable."

"Let's wait until the mortician has prepared his body before you go in to see him!"

Wu Qi, who was thin and wore thick glasses, was naturally much more timid than the tall and strong Jin Zhiyong.

Upon hearing Gao Qiqiang's description, he found the person to be in a miserable state.

Then think about that horrific car accident; the Mercedes-Benz was completely smashed.

Can the remains recovered from the vehicle wreckage still be intact?

It's likely that Chen Tai's entire body has been severely distorted and deformed, to the point of being unrecognizable.

So he reached out and tugged at the hot-tempered Jin Zhiyong.

"Qiang is right, let's wait until the mortician has finished preparing the body before we go to see it!"

"Since the car accident has already happened and the person has unfortunately died, we are not in a hurry."

Jin Zhiyong gave a soft "hmm".

Of course, he couldn't bear to see Chen Tai, with whom he had worked for many years, smashed into a pile of mangled flesh.

He turned to look at Gao Qiqiang.

He looked at me with swollen eyes from crying, a sorrowful expression, and a black bandage wrapped around his arm.

At that moment, Jin Zhiyong felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and his anger subsided considerably.

With his hands on his hips, Jin Zhiyong let out a long sigh.

"What the hell happened? How did a car accident happen?"

"Damn it, we finally made it to the Tang family's downfall. Now our Jinghai Construction is finally going to grow and thrive."

“I called him last night and we were talking about how the group would go public in two or three years, and then today…”

Wu Qi patted Jin Zhiyong on the shoulder and stepped forward.

"Qiang, what happened? How could there be a car accident out of nowhere?"

"When Lao Jin and I received the notification, we couldn't believe it and rushed back from the provincial capital without stopping."

With a mournful face, Gao Qiqiang began to recount his story.

"Didn't Huilong Energy officially launch yesterday? Their first onshore wind power project is about to be officially launched."

"My godfather wanted to get involved and prepare early, so he invited Mr. Feng from Huilong Energy to visit the project site today."

"It was too hot, so after we finished discussing the general situation, I told my godfather to go home and rest while I stayed to discuss the details with General Manager Feng and the others. I never expected..."

As he spoke, Gao Qiqiang burst into tears.

The person seemed unable to stand and squatted down, sobbing.

"And then there was the car accident?"

Jin Zhiyong, with a loud voice, glared and demanded.

Gao Qiqiang squatted on the ground, shaking his head repeatedly.

"It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

"If I hadn't persuaded my godfather to go home and rest, he wouldn't have had the car accident!"

Wu Qi quickly stepped forward and helped Gao Qiqiang up.

"You're his godson, you're just trying to be kind!"

"These past few days, the temperature has been in the thirties or forties every day."

"Uncle Tai is almost sixty years old. If he is exposed to the sun all the time, he might get into trouble."

As soon as Gao Qiqiang was helped up, Jin Zhiyong stepped forward and asked with a puzzled look:

"You still haven't answered me! And then you got into a car accident!"

Gao Qiqiang shook his head repeatedly.

"I do not know either!"

"We heard a loud bang shortly after he got into his car and left."

"Then we heard that there had been a car accident on the main road. By the time we arrived at the scene, the car had been smashed to pieces."

Jin Zhiyong grabbed Gao Qiqiang by the collar.

"Where's the driver? Damn it, how was he driving?"

“The driver has been criminally detained. He is a dump truck driver for Jinghai Hongyun Company. He has been making dozens of round trips every day recently. He said he didn’t rest after lunch and crashed without paying attention.”

"damn it!!"

Jin Zhiyong shoved Gao Qiqiang hard.

Gao Qiqiang fell backward and landed on his buttocks.

Upon seeing this, Wu Qi immediately complained:

"Old Jin!!!"

"What are you doing?"

"This isn't A-Qiang's fault, why are you getting angry at him?"

"If you want to get angry and vent your frustration, you should go find the driver who caused the accident!"

"Damn it, are those two preserved eggs hanging under his eyebrows? Are you blind driving in broad daylight?!"

Jin Zhiyong was furious.

After taking a few deep breaths, he was panting heavily.

Looking at Gao Qiqiang, who had been pushed down and fallen to the ground, she finally reached out and helped him up.

As a shareholder of Jinghai Construction Group.

He was well aware, of course, that in the construction industry, very few trucks that transport construction waste obeyed the law.

Overloading, speeding, driving against traffic, running red lights...

In order to carry more and drive faster, they completely disregarded traffic regulations.

During the day, there are more cars and people, so the situation is slightly better.

At night, that's when things really get incredibly crazy.

Avoid using the brakes if possible.

If a car accident really happens, it will kill them if possible.

Because they had full insurance coverage, they thought that killing someone would be simpler: pay compensation, get the family's forgiveness, and then get a suspended sentence.

They were afraid that if the victim wasn't killed, but instead became disabled, there would be disputes over compensation, and it might even lead to a lawsuit.

Therefore, Jin Zhiyong doesn't need to go to the scene of today's car accident, nor does he need to read the accident investigation report.

They also knew that the driver must have been following the principle of "if you can kill someone, you can't maim them", and had smashed Chen Tai's car into a pile of scrap metal.

There are, of course, many reasons.

I got distracted, dozed off, reacted too slowly, and just couldn't stop myself...

In short.

The "disaster car" that kills tens of thousands of people every year has now also killed Chen Tai, a powerful figure in Jinghai.

Such car accidents occur frequently every year, and Chen Tai was simply unlucky to be involved.

"I'm sorry, I'm really angry."

Jin Zhiyong took the initiative to help Gao Qiqiang up.

"It's alright, Uncle Jin. I understand how you feel. And I really wish I could tear that driver to pieces. I really regret not beating him to death on the spot."

Gao Qiqiang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his eyes glistening with tears.

Wu Qi sneered, "What's the use of killing him? Will killing him bring Uncle Tai back to life? It will only make you look unreasonable, and you'll end up getting yourself into trouble, losing your life for nothing!"

Jin Zhiyong gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice:

"On what charges were the driver detained?"

"Traffic accident crime!"

"It seems the police have determined this to be a traffic accident!"

"That's it for now."

Jin Zhiyong let out a long sigh.

"Damn, that's way too cheap for that driver!"

"Even if he bears full responsibility, but did not flee the scene of the accident and killed two people, he will only be sentenced to three to seven years in prison."

"And this is the driver of Jinghai Hongyun Company, the Liu family's driver, who hit his own boss."

Gao Qiqiang wiped away his tears.

"Uncle Liu and his wife took their grandchildren on a summer vacation trip. He said they would come back as soon as possible..."

Jin Zhiyong said angrily, "What's the use of rushing back? Besides sending him to his funeral, can you bring Old Chen back to life?"

"And even if he were to pay compensation, how much could he possibly pay? Even a hundred million wouldn't save Old Chen's life!"

Wu Qi sighed, "Now that things have come to this, compensation is a minor matter, and severely punishing the driver who caused the accident would be meaningless."

"If he forgives the wrongdoing, he'll get a three-year sentence; if he doesn't forgive the wrongdoing, he'll get a seven-year sentence at most. Even if he's executed, it won't make much of a difference."

"If you ask me, our most urgent task right now is to figure out what to do with the group now that Old Chen is gone, and who will be the chairman!"

Jin Zhiyong immediately glanced at Gao Qiqiang.

"Aren't you his godson? Do you know if Old Chen has made a will in private?"

Gao Qiqiang shook his head decisively.

"I have no idea!"

"But I suspect that my godfather definitely didn't leave a will."

“He is in good health and full of energy, so there is obviously no need for him to make a will.”

Jin Zhiyong raised his hand and touched his chin.

“If he didn’t leave a will, then your wife, Chen Shuting, is his only legal heir!”

"No, no, Shuting said she can't manage the construction group. Let the uncles discuss it and arrange someone to be the chairman!"

Gao Qiqiang, of course, would not say that he not only wanted to be the chairman, but also wanted to merge with Jinghai Construction Group.

"By the way, where is she?"

"She went home to pack her things; she'll be keeping watch here tonight."

Wu Qi nodded slightly.

"I'm going to the lounge with Lao Jin for some tea. You keep an eye on the morticians and make sure they do everything they can to properly bury Uncle Tai."

"Uncle Tai was a respectable man in life. Even if this car accident was very serious, we should still let him leave this world with dignity, shouldn't we?"

Gao Qiqiang nodded emphatically.

"Understood, I'll keep a close eye on them. This way, please."

Gao Qiqiang understood this very well.

Jin Zhiyong and Wu Qi going to the lounge for tea is definitely not that simple.

When Chen Tai was alive, as the founder of the group, he naturally had a high degree of influence.

Now that he is dead, his wife Chen Shuting can inherit Chen Tai's shares, but she cannot inherit his position in the group.

The shareholders will not respect Chen Tai as much as they respect his wife Chen Shuting, and they will no longer blindly follow his advice, listening to Chen Shuting on everything, big or small.

They will definitely stand on their own interests and hold different ideas and opinions, so Jin Zhiyong and Wu Qi will definitely plot against each other in secret.

But Gao Qiqiang didn't care.

No matter how much they schemed and plotted, Chen Tai's wife, Chen Shuting, inherited his shares, making her the largest shareholder of the group.

Even if Jin Zhiyong and his partner, along with several other shareholders, surpass Chen Shuting in terms of shareholding, what difference will it make?

The ones who managed to get on the good side of President Zhao Ruilong were his own Gao brothers, not the shareholders.

We want to collaborate with Huilong Group on more projects and earn more money.

How can you not respect me, Gao Qiqiang?

Return to the mortuary.

Gao Qiqiang had just entered the door when his phone suddenly rang.

"Excuse me!"

Leave the room and close the door.

After glancing at the incoming call number, Gao Qiqiang looked around and quickly walked into the small garden.

“Hey Xiao Sheng, Jin Zhiyong and Wu Qi have arrived. They didn’t seem to suspect the car accident too much, but I suspect they might have something to say about it.”

Gao Qisheng gave a cold snort.

"What are they thinking? They just want to seize power and profit, but can the two of them really control such a large construction group?"

"Even if one of them becomes the chairman, can he lead the group to grow and expand? Can he get one big project after another from President Zhao? It's better to just be a shareholder and sit back and wait for dividends!"

After a brief pause, Gao Qisheng changed the subject.

“I’m calling you to tell you that I’ve heard the interrogation is over. The driver readily admitted that he was driving while fatigued, didn’t notice the red light at the intersection, and was speeding when he crashed into Uncle Tai’s car.”

Gao Qiqiang was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Okay, great!"

Only after saying this did Gao Qiqiang realize that something was wrong.

She quickly looked around, thankfully no one noticed her joy.

Gao Qisheng, on the other end of the phone, was relatively calm.

"Don't be too happy yet. Uncle Tai is no ordinary person. The city will likely investigate and verify his death in a car accident very seriously."

"Our Jinghai City Criminal Investigation Detachment might get involved, and we'll inevitably run into our old acquaintance, Officer An Xin'an."

"what???"

Gao Qiqiang frowned.

He didn't want to run into An Xin.

Because An Xin is too serious and rigid, she has no human touch at all, and she only sees right and wrong, black and white.

If he were involved in the investigation of this case, he might actually be able to find something.

After all, the brothers rushed through the entire process of planning and executing the car accident that killed Chen Tai.

If you really investigate carefully, you might actually find some problems.

"What should I do?"

"What do you mean?"

Gao Qisheng smiled faintly, unconcerned.

"The person is dead, and the driver who caused the accident has confessed."

"If both families are involved, they can quickly reach a settlement agreement."

"Who would go looking for trouble and insist on investigating to the end?"

"And don't forget, in a critical moment, we can still ask President Zhao for help."

"As long as he's willing to help, he can have his second uncle, Zhao Lidong, put in a good word, and who would still keep investigating a traffic accident endlessly?"

Gao Qiqiang nodded slightly.

"Understood, I'll try my best to expedite the process..."

"No, don't try to win them over. What victim's family would take the initiative to forgive? If you're going to put on an act, you have to do it properly, make it realistic and authentic."

After a pause, Gao Qisheng suggested:

"If you're worried that your acting isn't realistic enough, just treat Uncle Tai like your own father for now!"

"Imagine your dad being hit and killed by a car, how would you feel? How would you react?"

Gao Qiqiang nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I see."

"Shouldn't you come over as soon as possible?"

Gao Qisheng laughed and said, "Of course, I'm your younger brother. Your godfather died in a car accident, how could I not come?"

"And don't worry, my acting skills are better than yours. I'll definitely act sad and heartbroken enough, but not to the point of being devastated. After all, he's your godfather, not mine!"

Gao Qiqiang snorted coldly, glanced around, and then lowered his voice to say:

"Alright, you want to compare acting skills with me? Can you even compare? I've cried several times today, and I cried tears of joy every time."

"I guarantee that my crying scenes are better than those of celebrities in the film and television industry. They all fake crying, but I cry for real!"

……

Night fell.

With a hissing sound.

The aircraft wheels rubbed against the runway, sending up a wisp of smoke.

With the roar of the engine reverse thrust, the aircraft slowly decelerated and taxied.

"Brother Long, wake up! The plane has landed! We've arrived in Jingzhou!"

Zhao Xialing shoved Zhao Ruilong repeatedly.

"Okay, stop pushing!"

Zhao Ruilong opened his eyes, glanced out the window, and then took out his phone and pressed and held it to turn it on.

After a crisp ringtone, the phone turned on.

I originally wanted to send a message to the driver, Lao Wan, to tell him that the plane had landed.

Unexpectedly, I received a text message from my second uncle.

After quickly glancing at the contents, Zhao Ruilong frowned.

"Though the timid starve, the bold thrive!"

"But aren't the Gao brothers a bit too hasty?"
