Zhang Ran didn't want to believe that something had happened to her mother, but the reality in front of her was so cruel. The familiar home was now like a cold iron gate, which made people feel despair.
"Ran Ran, go to Dad's company and help him run it well." At this time, Zhang Guoli also came out.
"Dad." Zhang Ran looked at her father and couldn't hold back her tears anymore.
"Open the door, I want to go in." Zhang Ran suddenly shouted at the two people next to her.
"If you keep making noise like this, don't blame us for being rude." The person next to her said sternly.
Zhang Ran ignored him and banged on the door hard. It was Zhang Yiping who said, "Ran Ran, stop making noise and go back."
Zhang Yiping's words were effective. Zhang Ran quieted down and looked at each other. The emotions in the eyes of the mother and daughter were very complicated.
After a long time, Zhang Ran took one last look at her parents and left reluctantly.
Zhang Ran went downstairs in a daze and got into the car like a walking corpse. She didn't know why this happened. Overnight, the happy family became fragmented.
She started the car mechanically. Zhang Ran didn't know how she got back to the Jiangcheng Hotel. On the way, the car almost collided with others twice, which caused others to curse, but Zhang Ran turned a deaf ear to them.
Outside the hotel suite, Chi Wanjun knocked on the door. Seeing that no one came to open the door for a long time, Chi Wanjun took out her mobile phone and was about to call Zhang Ran. At this time, Zhang Ran came out of the elevator. Chi Wanjun saw her and immediately smiled. "Ran Ran, where have you been? I was about to call you."
"I went to find my mother." Zhang Ran said listlessly and her eyes fell on Chi Wanjun. Zhang Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. "Wanjun, you came at the right time. My parents are in trouble. This time, you have to help me no matter what."
"Did something really happen to your mother?" A strange look flashed across Chi Wanjun's eyes. She came to Zhang Ran to confirm this news. Before she came, she was not willing to believe this news, because now there were rumors that something might have happened to Zhang Yiping. But after all, it was just a "possibility", and there were all kinds of speculations. The official news was that Zhang Yiping had asked for a long-term sick leave. Chi Wanjun also called her backer in the province, but the other party did not know the exact situation. But according to past experience, the other party also told her that something must have happened to Zhang Yiping.
When Chi Wanjun heard this answer, she decided to ask Zhang Ran herself. As her daughter, Zhang Ran would know better than anyone else whether Zhang Yiping was alright or not.
Wanjun, I know you have a backer in the province. Ask him to help my mother find some connections. If he can help my mother get through this, I'll definitely reward him handsomely. Zhang Ran grabbed Chi Wanjun's hand and said anxiously.
Ran Ran, what happened to your mother? Why wasn't there any news of it before? Chi Wanjun looked at Zhang Ran calmly, and the way she looked at Zhang Ran was a little different from before.
I don't know what happened, but this happened all of a sudden. I just went to my mother's house, and they were put under house arrest. They couldn't come out, and there were several people guarding inside and outside the house. Zhang Ran did not notice Chi Wanjun's eyes at all, and said to herself. Wanjun, let's not talk about this now. Hurry up and find her. We have to hurry now.
Ran Ran, we don't even know what happened to your mother, and I can't help you find her. Chi Wanjun shrugged and said helplessly.
Wanjun, no matter what happened to my mother, it doesn't conflict with you looking for her, right? Zhang Ran stared at Chi Wanjun.
That was true, but at such a sensitive time, no one wanted to stir up trouble. Chi Wanjun shook her head.
Wanjun, aren't you just making excuses? If my mother can get through this, it will be good for you, right? If you want to get land in Jiang City in the future, as long as my mother is in her position, it will be easier for you than for others.
How can it be so easy? Mayor Chen is not an easy person to get along with. Chi Wanjun smiled. Ran Ran, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first.
After Chi Wanjun said that, she waved goodbye to Zhang Ran symbolically, turned around, and left.
Zhang Ran smiled bitterly. What did people mean by the fickleness of the world? In the past, Zhang Ran could not experience it because her mother had been a low-ranking official in the unit since she was young. Later on, her career was even smoother, and she was promoted all the way. Their family never lacked people who came to fawn on them. During festivals, gifts would be piled up like a small mountain. What she felt the most was the compliments and flattery of others. The so-called hypocrisy of the world, Zhang Ran felt that such a thing would not happen to her. But now, Zhang Ran completely experienced it.
After a short moment of absent-mindedness, Zhang Ran took out her mobile phone and called Chen Xing. It was Chi Wanjun's "Mayor Chen" just now that reminded her that she could still look for Chen Xing. Although the chances were not high, Zhang Ran could only make a desperate attempt now.
In the Municipal Government, Chen Xing, who was reading documents in the office, was slightly stunned when he saw the phone call. Zhang Ran called him at this time?
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xing picked up the phone. Zhang Ran, what's up?
Chen Xing, do you have time now? I want to see you. Zhang Ran asked on the phone.
I don't have time now, I have something to do. Chen Xing shook his head.
Chen Xing, once something happened to my mother, even you are avoiding me like a snake or a scorpion. Zhang Ran smiled bitterly.
What are you talking about? It's still office hours now, I have official business. How can I have time? Chen Xing said angrily.
You're the mayor, and now even the work of the Municipal Party Committee is under your charge. You're the most powerful person in the whole of Jiangcheng. If you want to come out, who can stop you? Zhang Ran sneered.
I'm the mayor, yes, but it's precisely because I'm the leader that I have to set an example. If I leave office hours because of personal matters, wouldn't I be setting a bad example for others? Chen Xing curled his lips. If you have anything to say, you can just say it over the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Ran was silent for a moment. Chen Xing, my mother is in trouble. Can you help my mother?
How do you want me to help? Chen Xing sneered.
Zhang Ran couldn't see Chen Xing's expression and continued. Chen Xing, can you help my mother get through this? I'm begging you.
Hehe, Zhang Ran, you call this begging? You're asking me to help you, and you're so reluctant. Why don't I feel that you're begging me? Chen Xing smiled. But to tell you the truth, I can't help your mother, and no one can help her. You don't have to worry about it.
Chen Xing, you …
