Chapter 4 - Dysfunctional and troubled family

Zhao Wei got into the car that was open waiting for the important customer, he sat next to brother Wu, and the others seemed relieved that he stayed close to this person, so they didn't need to approach.

Chen Hong sat on the other side of Zhao Wei, he usually sat in the front next to the driver, but this time he made an exception and took the young man 24-year-old's side. Or maybe Chen Hong wanted to keep Brother Wu from getting stressed and ending up killing young master Zhao.

The car was military-style and super reinforced, it could comfortably fit six people inside. Three in the back and three in the front. However, the group was divided into five people for each vehicle, the third vehicle had two people and was carrying a variety of things for everyday use, of course, this was all so that outsiders would not discover that there was a user of the element space with them.

"We have to get to Road C which connects to the city of Hanzou before 7 pm. If not, it will be problematic if we find the assassin team's scouts," Chen Hong said, stretching his legs comfortably, as if at leisure.

"The Wang Family seems to have no pity on their own descendants," commented the redheaded woman sitting in the driver's seat.

"Little sister Chyou, you shouldn't talk about these things in front of our client," said the tall man who was sitting in the passenger seat next to the redheaded woman.

Huan Chyou is a 30-year-old woman who is beautiful and sassy, ​​she is a level 5 skill user, she can control water. Her physical improvement was in her strength, so she used as her main weapon a large and heavy double-bladed ax.

"Brother Chu, I'm just talking superficially. Look, the boy doesn't even seem to mind," the red-haired woman said, as she maneuvered the car and took a dirt road that was a little bumpy.

Chu Cong-Min is a man already in his 40s, he is tall and thin. He has a very masculine face with a strong chin and bushy eyebrows, he doesn't look very handsome, but there's an aura of maturity around him that has a certain charm. He is a level 4 power user, his skill is wind-related, and his physical development is related to his eyes becoming sharper, he can see perfectly well several meters away.

In fact, Zhao Wei didn't care at all, he was trying to focus on the memories of this body, so he remained serious and composed looking forward not caring about the surrounding conversation.

After nearly an hour on a dirt road, they finally reached a paved road and proceeded at full speed. As the village Zhao Wei was in was very isolated, there weren't many freaks who tried to attack the group of reinforced cars.

"On-road C there is a gas station, as I didn't see many survivors while we were on our way here, how about we check if there is still gas, diesel, and alcohol there?" Huan Chyou asked Chen Hong excitedly, with a beautiful smile on her face.

Chen Hong thought for a moment before agreeing, he thought it was enough to stand by Zhao Wei's side to protect him while the others cleaned up at the gas station.

Zhao Wei had finally awakened from his mental journey and had some idea of ​​what was going on.

He was now Zhao Wei, the son of a prominent general in the armed forces. However, he was named after his mother, who was Marshal Zhao's most beloved daughter. Marshal Zhao only had this biological daughter and an adopted son, due to pressure from Marshal Zhao Wei's father, Wang Fai, he relented to put his son's surname as part of the Zhao Family.

Fortunately, Zhao Wei's parents had another son named Wang Jun, who was five years younger than Zhao Wei. The family seemed to live apparently happy, with a dad serious but present and a mom loving but fair.

The perfect family.

Zhao Wei's life was happy until he turned 10 years old, and his mother died a suspicious death, soon afterward his father remarried a woman who had two children, a girl, and a boy. The two were older than Zhao Wei, at least two years apart, the strangest of which was the similarity in appearance between him and his supposed stepbrothers.

This showed as clearly as the day that Zhao Wei's father had had children out of wedlock and brought his mistress into the house.

Adding all of this to the fact that the death of Zhao Wei's mother was quite suspicious, it was unthinkable that everyone suspected that Wang Fai had killed his wife to bring his mistress into the house.

Unfortunately, there was no conclusive evidence that there nobody was arrested.

Of course, when young Zhao Wei got angry and frustrated about it, he wisely ran to his grandfather's family, Marshal Zhao who asked for custody of him, and finally, Zhao Wei went to live with the Zhao Family.

He also brought his younger brother with him, although Wang Fai fights hard in court, with Marshal Zhao pressing on all sides, Wang Jun ended up living with Zhao Wei in the Zhao Family Main House, along with his grandfather, and the uncle.

Zhao Wei entirely ignored his father and his half brothers, even at social events, he did not interact with his half brothers who were mocked by most wealthy people and who had ties to the government or the army.

False moralists were offended by the presence of the lover and the lover's children, after all, older women felt threatened by the presence of that person. Since it could generate bad ideas for their husbands.

On the surface, everyone treated each other well, but behind the scenes, high-status people mocked Wang Fai's new wife. Life was also difficult for the two "adopted" children, but much easier than when they lived like ordinary people, as they were rich and had some power.

Of course, Zhao Wei never actively bullied these stepbrothers, he just didn't want to get involved in his father's mess. So, the relationship between Zhao Wei and this part of the family was cold, bordering on indifference, but not much of a fuss.

If not for Wang Jun, he would have only the necessary contact with his father. However, for his younger brother, he forced himself to try to elevate his relationship with his father.

Over time, Zhao Wei was being more gentle with his father, even though he couldn't trust him at all and couldn't be won over by his half-brothers either.

Zhao Wei's father was also not so bad to his children from the first wife, in addition, Wang's grandfathers were also very fond of these legitimate grandchildren, which made grandfather Wang add a lot of money to these grandchildren's wills.

Zhao Wei was already rich even before he turned 17 when their paternal grandfather passed away and left them a lot of money, leaving a lot of money for some grandchildren and little for others.

Unfortunately, the lack of bullying or staying away from his family didn't stop his half brothers from feeling jealous of Zhao Wei and resenting the luck he had that led to the 19-year-old's kidnapping after he spent a drinking night after leaving university.
