After Lam's family came to the Zhao clan's house, no one kept an eye on them. Instead, they just did whatever they wanted to do. They could go outside for a walk or anything else. They were only forbidden from entering the inner courtyard.
When Lam's family saw that the Zhao clan did not limit their freedom, they gradually felt relieved.
Henry knew in his heart that the reason why the Zhao clan no longer looked at Lam's family was that they were confident. Henry was sure that as long as the Lam's family walked out of the house, they would inevitably be stared by countless eyes and their every move would be watched. The Zhao clan was not worried that they would run away.
Henry received a message from Wade on his mobile phone.
"Boss, a lot of people of the Zhao clan have entered that house today. They haven't come out yet. Be careful."
Henry put away his mobile phone and counted the time. Today was the fifth day, and the Zhao clan would finish the ritual before the seventh day. Henry was wondering what the Zhao clan was doing.
Henry walked in the Zhao clan's house as if he was wandering around, but he was actually paying attention to every corner of the house. Henry found that some family members, who seemed to be sitting idly, were actually guarding the house, strictly preventing unrelated people from taking a look around the inner courtyard.
Henry carefully recorded the shift time of these guards. Today was already the fifth day after the death of the man from the Zhao clan. There were only one and a half days left. The Zhao clan was going to hold that ghost marriage. He had to figure out what the Zhao clan was going to do. If he couldn't figure it out, Henry had to take action. He couldn't really watch Lam marry a dead person. And Henry didn't think that this ghost marriage was as simple as Dempsey's father said.
"Mr. Zhang, you're here." Dempsey's father's voice sounded from behind Henry.
Henry slowly turned around and smiled at Dempsey's father. "Mr. Zhao, you're looking for me."
"Haha." Dempsey's father laughed. "There are some things that I wish to explain to you."
"Is it about the man who called me here this time?" Henry deliberately pretended to know nothing.
"Yes." Dempsey's father nodded. "Mr. Zhang, I think you can see that our Zhao clan is a big family with many elders. As you know, the older generation has more traditional thoughts. Such a big scandal was spread in Yinzhou, and it is related to the daughter-in-law of our Zhao clan. Those elders want to ask about it in person, so they called you here."
"It's what we should do. We should respect the elders' wishes." Henry said.
"It's good that you can understand. My son died and my family elders have been immersed in grief these days, so I can only ask Mr. Zhang to stay for a few more days. I hope that Mr. Zhang can forgive me." This was an excuse that Dempsey's father had come up with a long time ago. Dempsey's father was afraid that something would happen to Henry all of a sudden. After all, Henry was a boss with a worth of ten billion yuan. Although he would not let Henry really run away, it would still cause trouble for the Zhao clan if he made some noise and attracted the attention of the officials.
"President Zhao, what are you talking about? I just want to enjoy here and relax." While Henry was talking, he deliberately showed a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes so that Dempsey's father could see it.
When Dempsey's father saw the look of dissatisfaction in Henry's eyes, he was completely relieved. This was because he knew that if any person were suddenly threatened like this, he would have the right to be dissatisfied, let alone a young man full of vigour. If Henry didn't care about anything, then he would feel that there was a problem.
Dempsey's father laughed loudly and said, "Haha, then I won't disturb your enjoyment, Mr. Zhang. My family has something to attend to."
"Please go ahead, Mr. Zhao."
