Chapter 1151: Zhou Tianxiang Was Shocked

At this point, Yang Ming no longer suspected that Old Charles would do anything adverse to Zhou Tianxiang. After all, Yang Ming's identity was there. Old Charles must put some thoughts on whether Yang Ming would agree and let him go if he wanted to do anything. More importantly, Old Charles decided to cooperate with him now, so Old Charles couldn't do anything that was not conducive to the development of the relationship between the two.

"Of course, I believe in your sincerity." Yang Ming smiled after listening to Old Charles. "After all, if we work together, the upcoming days will be long. How can Uncle Charles do anything to undermine our friendship?"

"That is true. Hehe ." Old Charles nodded and replied with a smile.

As the two talked to each other, the sound of knocking on the door came from outside the room. At this moment, Zhou Tianxiang's mood was complicated, just like a person waiting for his fateful trial, helpless and confused.

He didn't understand why Old Charles suddenly called him over at this time. It was not night time yet. There was still some time before evening, so Zhou Tianxiang didn't know why Old Charles would summon him in advance.

However, in any case, since Old Charles had summoned him, then there must be something. Even if it was delayed until evening, what was the difference? Zhou Tianxiang did not feel that there would be anything special in the evening. After all, Yang Ming's promise was too surreal. Zhou Tianxiang really did not believe that his daughter's boyfriend could come to rescue him.

Zhou Tianxiang sighed and knocked on the door of Old Charles' study. He heard Old Charles' deep voice say, "Please come in!"

Zhou Tianxiang pushed the door of the study and went in. He said habitually, "Master, what's the matter?"

"I am not a master. I can't afford to be your master," Old Charles said quickly. Because Old Charles lived long enough, how could he not understand the rationale that a great man understands the times?

Now that his relationship with Yang Ming was on an equal footing, and Zhou Tianxiang was Yang Ming's father-in-law, Old Charles wouldn't dare to be arrogant at this time. Moreover, he needed help from Yang Ming. He was seeking cooperation from Yang Ming. Therefore, his attitude toward Zhou Tianxiang naturally had a vast change.

" Oh ?" Zhou Tianxiang was surprised after hearing Old Charles' words. He didn't think so much. He thought that Old Charles was angry, and he had already planned to break off with him, thus saying such weird words. He was terrified deep down in his heart. "Master, don't say that... I..."

"Tianxiang, why are you standing still? Please sit down!" Old Charles stood up personally to show his sincerity in front of Yang Ming and gestured to Zhou Tianxiang.

"I..." Zhou Tianxiang was really dumbfounded this time. He did not understand what happened to the Old Charles who was flustered and red with anger and had a vile face just before. Zhou Tianxiang looked up in a panic. At this time, he had discovered in shock there was not only one person in the study but also a young boy!

The young man looked very familiar. Isn't he the boyfriend of my daughter, Jiajia, whom I met last time in Song Jiang?

"Uncle Zhou, hello." Yang Ming saw that Zhou Tianxiang finally noticed him, so he stood up and said respectfully, "Uncle Zhou, please sit down."

"This..." Zhou Tianxiang felt he was as though he were dreaming. My daughter's boyfriend really came here? Did he reach here so fast? Moreover, it seems that there is no conflict between him and Old Charles, but it is rather harmonious.

Of course, Zhou Tianxiang naturally couldn't guess the previous tense situation between Yang Ming and Old Charles.

"Tianxiang, please forgive me for the rudeness earlier!" Old Charles said politely, "You didn't put it in your heart, right?"

"I... of course not..." Zhou Tianxiang was a little overwhelmed. Old Charles' current attitude was so good that it was as though he were another person. Zhou Tianxiang did not know what to do in an instant.

" Hehe , you must know this person, so I don't need to introduce him anymore!" Old Charles pointed to Yang Ming and said, "This is a bit inappropriate. I didn't know that you are Mr. Yang's father-in-law. If I knew, I wouldn't have said those words before!"

"You two are..." Zhou Tianxiang saw that Old Charles seemed to be familiar with Yang Ming, and he was surprised all of a sudden! In his view, these two couldn't have an interaction, but now they were sitting together. This made Zhou Tianxiang feel that the world was simply too strange. It was so odd that he could not adapt to it anymore!

" Hehe , Mr. Yang is my close partner. We will have a lot of in-depth cooperation in the future. We have just reached a consensus! Isn't that right, Mr. Yang?" Old Charles asked with a smile.

Yang Ming was somewhat helpless. Old Charles was still not assured with him. He was afraid that Yang Ming would back out after he went back. Right now, Charles was forcing Yang Ming to express his stance! Yang Ming smiled and said, "Of course, Uncle Zhou. Since Mr. Charles has realized his mistake, don't put it in your heart, right? If you don't forgive him, then I can only stop cooperating with him!"

After Yang Ming finished, he felt refreshed in his heart. He thought, You play dirty tricks on me secretly. I will let you have a taste of it too! Sure enough, after Yang Ming said that, Old Charles' face changed considerably. He couldn't help but regret that he did extra things. Yang Ming had already promised him. What else could he be worried about?

When I said this myself, I forced myself into a corner and shot myself in the foot.

In fact, Old Charles had such a big business, but he was not afraid of not being able to send it out. Who wouldn't want free money? However, it was not so easy to entrust it to a dependable person.

Since Old Charles had found Yang Ming to be a suitable candidate, he was naturally reluctant to give up! Yang Ming was the personal disciple of the King of Assassins. So in this life, he was destined to meet assassins, and he would always be committed to the assassin career.

However, Yang Ming was the King of Assassins, and Wang Xiaoyan was the sole heir to the Butterfly Family. In other words, the Butterfly Family business would eventually fall into the hands of Yang Ming. The Butterfly Family was bigger than the business of the Charles Family. Therefore, Yang Ming might not put Charles' business in his eye.

Therefore, because of this, Old Charles was particularly afraid that Yang Ming would go back on his promise.

After listening to Yang Ming's words, he suddenly stood up and walked up to Zhou Tianxiang. He said earnestly, "Old Zhou, tell me how I treated you all these years aside from this for one thing. Have I done anything sorry to you?"

"Master, why are you saying this? No... you have always been very good to me..." Zhou Tianxiang said in fear and trepidation. He was secretly horrified deep down in his heart. When Yang Ming just said he wanted to stop the cooperation, he actually made Old Charles have such a reaction. It seems that Yang Ming is still in a more dominant position in the cooperation between them!

"If that's the case, then it means that you forgive me?" Old Charles asked quickly.

"Yes, I have forgiven you!" Zhou Tianxiang nodded. "I'm able to understand your mood at the time."

"It is best if you can understand it!" Old Charles nodded, and said somewhat helplessly, "Who wouldn't do things for their children?!"

Yang Ming looked at Old Charles in amusement. This old fox. He knows he needs to appeal to the relationships. I just scared him a little. I didn't really mean to stop the cooperation.

"Well, Mr. Charles, you don't need to be corny. I'm just kidding. I will consider carefully regarding the matter of cooperation. Now my wife is worried about the safety of her father, so I will not talk nonsense with you. I will leave first." Yang Ming stood up as he smiled and spoke to Old Charles.

" Hehe , definitely, definitely. Then, I will not hold you back. Oh , yes, Old Zhou, I will ask someone to settle your salary in a while. You have followed me for so many years. No matter what, you should retire in grace!" Old Charles laughed.

"Thank you, sir!" Zhou Tianxiang didn't think that the ending would be so perfect. He did not expect Yang Ming to talk to Old Charles with this indifferent tone.

Nonsense ? Zhou Tianxiang was having a chill. The only person who could say that Old Charles was speaking nonsense was Yang Ming alone! At this moment, Zhou Tianxiang couldn't understand Yang Ming more and more. He thought that his daughter's boyfriend was just a student, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

It seemed that Yang Ming's power was beyond Zhou Tianxiang's imagination. He could not believe that Yang Ming was even stronger than Old Charles, but that was the fact. He had to accept it somehow.

"What thanks? In the matter of consideration, you are Mr. Yang's father-in-law. If we follow the seniority as such, you are still my elder, so don't call me master; call me Old Charles!" Old Charles smiled, "How about I address you as Old Zhou in the future?"

"Well... Mr... Old Charles!" Zhou Tianxiang was somewhat flattered. He never thought that he would have such a day and could be on equal footing with Old Charles.

Old Charles informed people to settle the salary for Zhou Tianxiang and presented Zhou Tianxiang with a generous pension, which made him leave Charles' castle in grace.

Yang Ming and Zhou Tianxiang left the castle with Old Charles' personal escort. What made Old Charles very depressed was that when he found that only the first four guards were subdued by Yang Ming, and everything behind was normal, he could not understand how Yang Ming went through this layer of guards to find him.

If he succeeded in avoiding a lookout post, it was possible, but how did he make it through so many levels? Did really no one find out about him?

Obviously, that was not the story. Old Charles wanted to ask a few times, but because of Zhou Tianxiang, he closed his mouth. However, Old Charles obviously had to be depressed for a while.

Old Charles waved his hand as he escorted Yang Ming and Zhou Tianxiang. "Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhou, we will meet each other again in the future. I look forward to seeing you come here again! You will be very welcome!"

"Okay, I will come here again." Yang Ming nodded and said.

It was not until Yang Ming started the car and drove down the mountain road, that Zhou Tianxiang recovered from the shock. Looking at Yang Ming, the nineteen-year-old boy who was the same age as his daughter, Zhou Tianxiang couldn't describe his feelings in words.

What his daughter said was true. He really came and solved it easily. From Old Charles' attitude toward him, Yang Ming did not ask for anything from Old Charles. The two of them spoke at the same level.

"Yang Ming, you and Mr. Charles..." Zhou Tianxiang finally couldn't help but ask.

Yang Ming knew that Zhou Tianxiang would have such a question, so he smiled and said, "I have some business cooperation with Mr. Charles. It is quite familiar. This time he heard that Zhou Jiajia is my girlfriend. He immediately gave up on this matter, so you don't have to worry too much."

"I didn't expect that the next generation of heroes is here!" Zhou Tianxiang exclaimed, "I am relieved to pass Jiajia to you."

" Hehe , Uncle Zhou, let us not talk about this. We are a family. You praised me so much that it made me embarrassed." Yang Ming smiled.

"However, this time, it is really thanks to you. Otherwise, I really didn't know what to do. If you didn't intervene, Old Charles would never have let me go so easily. It's even less likely that he would speak to me so nicely!" Zhou Tianxiang was still very self-aware.

"Things are already over. Don't mention it anymore." Yang Ming smiled and said, "Right, Uncle Zhou, you'd better call Jiajia and your wife. I am afraid they will be worried."

"Yeah, I almost forgot the serious business!" Zhou Tianxiang nodded quickly, took out his phone, and dialed Zhou Jiajia's mobile number.

Although Zhou Jiajia was very confident about Yang Ming, before she got the news that her father was safe, Zhou Jiajia's mood was still very nervous. The phone's ringtone suddenly sounded. Zhou Jiajia woke up from her daze and picked up the phone.

"Hello?" When Zhou Jiajia saw the special number that was transferred in, she subconsciously guessed that it might be her father's call, but she was not sure.

"Jiajia, it is me." Zhou Tianxiang heard his daughter's voice, and he was thrilled. "Don't worry; I am safe. We can be together soon!"

" Ah ! Dad, are you alright? That's great!" Zhou Jiajia's voice was a joy that came from the heart. "Dad, have you seen Yang Ming?"

" En , he is by my side. This time it was thanks to him, or else, Old Charles would not have such a big change in attitude!" Zhou Tianxiang said emotionally, "Jiajia, you really found a good man. This time, your father is riding on your coattails."

"Dad! Don't say that..." Zhou Jiajia suddenly felt embarrassed. "Isn't that what he should do?"

Although Zhou Jiajia was also very grateful to Yang Ming, in front of her father, she still had to show that she was stronger. It would let her father feel that Yang Ming loved her a lot. In fact, this was the case.

After all, when Yang Ming came to find Charles, he did not have absolute confidence that this could be solved peacefully. If it were really impossible, it could only be solved by force, but now it seems that the ending was very satisfactory.

" Hehe , anyway, it was not easy to get through the crisis safely this time. I also retired this time. I will not leave after I go back," said Zhou Tianxiang.

"That's great. Right, Dad, have you called Mom? She is also very anxious!" Zhou Jiajia suddenly thought that he had not told her mother.

"Not yet. After my call with you, I will give her a call!" said Zhou Tianxiang.

" En , great, then you quickly tell her this good news." Although Zhou Jiajia still wanted to say a few more words, after all, her mother was still worried, so she had to say this reluctantly.

"Don't you want to say a few words to Yang Ming?" Although Zhou Tianxiang was also anxious, after all, things were solved by Yang Ming, so he naturally first had to consider Yang Ming's side.

" Hehe , Uncle Zhou, I have time to talk to Jiajia at home. You should call Aunty Hua first." Yang Ming smiled.

"Well, Jiajia, since Yang Ming said so, I will call your mother first!" said Zhou Tianxiang.

" En , then you can call my mother to report your safety!" Zhou Jiajia said with joy.

Finally, Zhou Jiajia was assured in her heart. Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun, who were by her side, were also relieved. Both of them were also remembering the comfort of Yang Ming. After all, they heard that the Charles family was an assassin family. Chen Mengyan was in a state of worry. She was afraid that Yang Ming would be in danger, but now, it seemed that the matters were resolved.

"Congratulations! Jiajia!" Chen Mengyan also said happily.

"Isn't it because that Yang Ming is willing to help!" Zhou Jiajia smiled and said, "I am so happy that I can know Yang Ming and you all..."

"Why are you saying this? For your matters, this is what Yang Ming should do! Didn't you just say that?" Chen Mengyan teased.

Zhou Jiajia's face suddenly became red. Indeed, she just said something similar, but that was only to her father. She did not expect it to be heard by Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun.

"Fine, I will stop making fun of you. You must have a lot to say to your mom and dad tonight. Sister Lin and I will go to the kitchen to eat and give you some private time!" Then, Chen Mengyan pulled Lin Zhiyun's hand and went to the kitchen.

In the days when Yang Ming was not there, Chen Mengyan, Lin Zhiyun, and Zhou Jiajia were watching a food channel on TV. When they were idle, they made a lot of delicious dishes following the recipes on TV. They were also very successful. They were waiting for Yang Ming to come back and have him try them one by one.

With the increase of age and maturity, Chen Mengyan did not want to be too concerned about Yang Ming in terms of relationships. In particular, Yang Ming's status and identity were constantly improving. Chen Mengyan also got over it. Why am I so narrow-minded? At least now, in the days when Yang Ming is not there, there are two sisters who can accompany me.

Is this not a kind of happiness too?
