The room was very quiet, so quiet that he could hear Shi Mengwan's steady breathing.
Zhan Haoze didn't move either. He just sat there and looked at Shi Mengwan's face. Time passed bit by bit. The east gradually turned white, and Shi Mengwan, who was on the bed, turned around.
In this way, he was completely facing Zhan Haoze. He lowered his head and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
The kiss was very light, like a feather brushing across Shi Mengwan's forehead. She furrowed her brows in her sleep.
Zhan Haoze didn't smooth her eyebrows. He looked at her for a while, and after confirming that she didn't show any signs of waking up, he got up and left.
When he went downstairs, Tang Hua was still waiting. Seeing Zhan Haoze's expression, He sighed. "Boss —"
"Let's go." Zhan Haoze got into the car and looked back at the apartment. "I'm afraid there's going to be a tough battle."
He had made so many moves recently. The Zhan Family probably wouldn't let the matter rest so easily.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see Shi Mengwan for a while.
"Boss." Tang Hua looked at Zhan Haoze and sighed in his heart. "You're too tired."
Zhan Haoze leaned back and closed his eyes to rest. Just when Tang Hua thought that he would not speak, he let out an extremely faint sigh.
"It doesn't matter. I'm used to it anyway."
For so many years, he had racked his brains, not daring to relax in the slightest. Whether it was at the Chen family or back to Qingcheng.
Tang Hua pursed his lips into a straight line and turned his face to signal the driver to drive. His eyes were a little red.
After sorting out his emotions, Tang Hua looked at Zhan Haoze again. "Where are we going next?"
"Let's go into the company and arrange everything. We'll return to Qing City tonight. "
"Yes."
… …
Zhan Haoze had a lot of things to do in the company. In the past few years, he had put in a lot of effort to expand his business.
He needed to have the strength to fight against the Zhan family in the shortest time possible. Although it was difficult, it was something he had no choice but to do.
It took him a day to settle most of the company's affairs and arrange for the people to guard the company. He signed the two contracts that were originally scheduled to be signed.
From now on, he would focus all his energy on Qingcheng. That was his main battlefield.
Before boarding the plane, he didn't forget to ask Tang Hua about Zhan Kun's current situation.
"After our people let Zhan Li and Zhan Yang cause such a ruckus yesterday, the old man was sent to the hospital. It is said that the rescue lasted until the second half of the night. He's still in the ICU. "
Tang Hua's words were full of schadenfreude, but there was also some worry on his face. "Boss, do you think the old man will die just like this?"
"I won't." Zhan Haoze sneered. "I told you, he still has things to worry about. He won't die just like that."
"Then, should we postpone the plan for now?"
"No need." Zhan Haoze was impatient and didn't want to slow down. "Let's see when the old man wakes up. I still have to give them my second big gift."
Tang Hua smiled. Big gift? Wasn't this a great gift? The old man would probably faint if he accepted Zhan Haoze's gift.
It wasn't that he fainted from happiness, but from anger. ,
… …
Zhan Kun was in the ICU. The two brothers, Zhan Lie and Zhan Zhi, stood guard outside. Zhan Lie sat on the bench and looked anxiously at the emergency room, which was lit up with lights. His wife, Bi Shuqiao, was sitting next to him. She also looked anxious.
Compared to them, although the expression on Zhan Zhi's face was also very solemn, he didn't look very anxious.
He glanced at his son. Zhan Yi understood and turned to walk out. Zhan Li and Zhan Yang blocked in front of him.
The two of them didn't look very good at this moment. Both of them had bruised noses and swollen faces. Zhan Li's arm was still bandaged. It was obvious that his hand had been broken by someone.
Zhan Yang wasn't much better. His face was also covered in injuries. Although there were no obvious fractures and it wasn't as serious as Zhan Li's, the color of his face was really very good-looking.
These two combinations made people feel strange and funny at first glance. However, no one at the scene could laugh.
"Zhan Yi, where are you going? You're not trying to escape, are you? "
Although Zhan Li and Zhan Yang weren't the most ideal heirs in Zhan Kun's eyes. But no matter what, they had grown up with Zhan Lie in the old mansion.
These two brothers couldn't be said to be close to Zhan Kun since they were young, but at least they could show their faces in front of Zhan Kun more than those who couldn't show their faces outside.
However, the two of them didn't expect Zhan Yi to appear out of nowhere. It was fine if Zhan Yi appeared. The two of them had suffered such a big loss at Zhan Yi's hands. Therefore, the two of them looked at Zhan Yi with resentment.
Zhan Yi wasn't afraid of their provocation at all. He was quite calm.
"Escape? Do I need to escape? Where do I escape to? It's just that Grandpa told me to do something, although Grandpa is unconscious now. But I still have to finish what Grandpa told me to do. Otherwise, when Grandpa wakes up, he won't be happy. "
He was still young after all. He was suddenly brought back from the outside. Zhan Yi couldn't control the smugness on his face.
Zhan Li and Zhan Yang were furious. Especially Zhan Yang. "Zhan Yi, you want to leave just like that? No way. If you don't make things clear today, don't even think about leaving. "
"That's right. If you don't make things clear, don't even think about leaving." Zhan Li glared at Zhan Yi and raised his uninjured hand to point at him. "You beat the two of us up like this, and you want to leave just like that?"
Yesterday, Zhan Li and Zhan Yang entered the venue with injuries all over their bodies. As soon as they entered the door, they rushed towards Zhan Yi.
Although the two of them were injured, they won because there were two of them. One of them punched Zhan Yi, and the other kicked him.
Zhan Yi was protected by Zhan Kun, so he wasn't injured. However, such a good day was ruined by Zhan Li and Zhan Yang.
Zhan Kun couldn't stand such a stimulation, and he didn't expect that the banquet he had meticulously arranged would have such a big mistake. In his anger, he was directly sent to the emergency room.
"Idiots." Zhan Yi sneered as he looked at the two people in front of him. "Don't you go out with your brains?"
"Zhan Yi, what do you mean?"
"Zhan Yi, you bastard."
Zhan Yang reached out his hand and was about to swing it at Zhan Yi's face again. Zhan Yi barely avoided it. He shook his head and looked at the two idiot brothers in front of him with some mockery. "You said I beat you up? Are you saying that I did this to you? "
Without waiting for the two brothers to speak, Zhan Yi took a step forward. "Why don't you think about it, would I do such a stupid thing? You're basically being used by others without knowing it. If he isn't an idiot, then what is he? "
Yesterday was the first time Zhan Yi showed his face in front of others. It was supposed to be a great thing. But Zhan Li and Zhan Yang, who were outside, suddenly returned.
It was one thing for him to come back, but he was injured all over and even attacked him the moment he arrived. That action was a slap on Zhan Kun's face. This angered Zhan Kun. He was so angry that he had to be hospitalized.
At that time, Zhan Yi was busy acting as a filial son and grandson in front of the old man. He naturally didn't have the time to bicker with Zhan Li and Zhan Yang.
However, he could be considered to have calmed down now. There was someone who wasn't on good terms with him, and was using the Zhan Yang brothers to take care of him.
Now that he saw that the two of them still had the time to find trouble with him, Zhan Yi's tone was naturally not very good.
"If it weren't for your stupidity, Grandpa wouldn't have been sent to the hospital."
With the intelligence of the two brothers, they really wouldn't have thought that they had been instigated and used as a tool.
Now, they heard Zhan Yi blame the reason why Zhan Kun was unconscious on them. Zhan Li and Zhan Yang's expressions changed. "Say that again?"
They were out on a business trip, and it could be considered that they were exhausted for the Zhan family. But what news did they hear?
Zhan Kun actually recognized the child of another illegitimate child. He even planned to publicly introduce it into the upper class of Qing City?
How could they allow such a thing to happen? Therefore, the two brothers hurriedly finished their work and returned to Qing City as soon as possible. They wanted to ask where this Zhan Yi came from.
One had to know that all the children of the Zhan family, without Zhan Kun's acknowledgement, even if their surname was Zhan, it was useless.
But when the two of them returned to Qing City, they were beaten up as soon as they got off the plane.
The person who beat them up made it very clear that today was Zhan Yi's good day. He told them to be a little more perceptive and not come to cause trouble.
This was something that had never happened to Zhan Li and Zhan Yang. Not only was it a great humiliation to be beaten up, but it was also a clear announcement of their status in the Zhan family in the future.
How could Zhan Li and Zhan Yang tolerate it? That was why they hurriedly came to teach Zhan Yi a lesson.
Yesterday, they were still fighting with him. Now that they were provoked by Zhan Yi's words, the two of them stood forward together, intending to teach Zhan Yi a lesson.
Zhan Yi wasn't afraid at all. "You guys are really stupid. If you have the time to look for trouble with me here, you might as well think about how to find the culprit. "
"Aren't you the culprit? Why are you pretending to be a good person here? "
Zhan Li and Zhan Yang were furious. The two of them took another step forward, and Zhan Li's hand was almost about to poke Zhan Yi's face.
"A stupid pig is a stupid pig. It's fine if you're impulsive, but you don't have a brain. "
Zhan Yi's words angered the two of them. Before they could speak, Bi Shuqiao, who had been silent all this time, couldn't take it anymore and stood up.
"Enough." She walked in front of Zhan Yi and glared at the person who had snatched her son's position. "It's not your turn to make decisions in the Zhan family yet. No matter how bad Zhan Li and Zhan Yang are, they were still raised by the old master. Who do you think you are? "
Zhan Zhi was indignant. The juniors were quarreling, so why did Bi Shuqiao jump out?
"I say, sister-in-law, although you're the sister-in-law, you have to be reasonable. But you have to be reasonable when you speak and do things. The old master was originally angry because of them. Our Zhan Yi isn't wrong. "
As one of Zhan Kun's sons, Zhan Zhi was quite capable. Otherwise, how could the old man acknowledge his existence when he had so many illegitimate children outside?
But no matter how capable he was, he couldn't withstand the old man wholeheartedly supporting Zhan Lie. But he desperately suppressed his sons who were outside.
Now, it wasn't easy for the old man to be willing to help the younger generation. Especially since his son had actually caught the old man's eye. As a father, he naturally had to support his son at this time.
They were arguing fiercely on this side, but Uncle Chi could only sigh in his heart when he saw it.
How decisive and resourceful was Zhan Kun back then?
But looking at the people of the Zhan family now, other than Zhan Lie, who could barely take on the role, none of the remaining third generation could take on a big responsibility.
No, there was one.
Uncle Chi thought of that person. Although Zhan Kun didn't like Zhan Haoze, if Zhan Haoze could be used by the Zhan family, the Zhan family could regain its glory in his hands.
However, Zhan Kun's order was to take Zhan Haoze's life. Uncle Chi hadn't had the time to order his subordinates to deal with Zhan Haoze yesterday. He had already prepared the Zhan family's kill order, but now, he was a little hesitant.
Perhaps there was no need to kill Zhan Haoze. The old master didn't have many days left. It was better to think of a way to take Zhan Haoze in for his own use.
Of course, if he really wanted to achieve that goal, he would probably have to go through some trouble.
Uncle Chi thought of this, looked at the people in front of him, and turned around to do what he wanted to do.
He had been by Zhan Kun's side for more than thirty years. His words could represent Zhan Kun's intentions. This time, he would let him make his own decision.
..
Zhan Haoze didn't care about what the Zhan family had done because of him. He was busy preparing the second gift.
At night. The people of the Zhan family were tired of arguing, so they couldn't be bothered to argue anymore. There weren't many who really cared about the old man. When it was time, everyone except Zhan Lie went to rest.
Zhan Lie couldn't take it anymore and went to rest in the middle of the night.
To be honest, there were doctors and nurses in the VIP ward. There was no need for them to guard here.
But there was only one purpose for these people to guard here. They wanted Zhan Kun to see them first when he woke up. They wanted to get attention and perform well.
Zhan Lie had been acting as a filial son for a long time. He was sleepy now, so he naturally went to rest.
Other than the bodyguards, there was no one else in the ward. Just like last time, Zhan Haoze easily entered the ward.
But this time, the old man didn't wake up. In fact, the stimulation Zhan Kun received this time wasn't as big as the last time, but it was even more serious than the last time.
It really wasn't because he saw Zhan Li and Zhan Yang, the two idiots, attack Zhan Yi that he flared up.
It was because of this that he thought of the same problem as Uncle Chi, the problem that made him the most frustrated and conflicted.
That was, the Zhan family had developed for so many years. It had been a hundred-year-old family since the late Qing Dynasty, but when it came to him, it had actually fallen to the point where there was no successor.
How could this not make Zhan Kun depressed? Zhan Yi was helpless. He was forced to make this choice.
But no matter what, he had taught Zhan Li and Zhan Yang for a period of time, but they were still so stupid and so disregarding the overall situation.
As the head of the Zhan family, he wasn't qualified. Even as a descendant of the Zhan family, he wasn't qualified. After being provoked like this, Zhan Kun became serious again.
He had woken up in the afternoon, but when he woke up, he heard Zhan Li and Zhan Yang arguing outside about teaching Zhan Yi a lesson.
As soon as he was provoked, he fainted again.
Zhan Haoze didn't have much time for Zhan Kun. It was his business if he liked to sleep. His time was very precious.
He took a look, picked up a glass of water from the bedside, and slowly poured it on Zhan Kun's face.
Zhan Kun was old, and he hadn't recovered yet. Being splashed with cold water on his face, even though it wasn't cold in this season, made him uncomfortable.
"… Who?"
He woke up at the first moment and immediately discovered Zhan Haoze standing by his bed.
Zhan Kun remembered, but his body had just suffered a stroke. How could he have the strength?
Zhan Haoze casually put the cup in his hand aside. He looked down at Zhan Kun coldly.
"You, you –"
Zhan Kun wiped the water off his face. When he saw Zhan Haoze, he was shocked. Didn't he ask Uncle Chi to deal with this person? Why was he still here?
"What about me?" Zhan Haoze sneered. "I'm here because I have a gift for you."
Zhan Kun looked at him defensively. He didn't believe that Zhan Haoze would be so kind. "You, get out. I don't want your gift."
"Don't you want to hear what I'm giving you?"
When Zhan Haoze spoke, the smile on his face didn't reach his eyes. His entire person looked cold and gloomy.
"Get out. I, I don't want to see you. "
There was killing intent in Zhan Kun's eyes. After today's matter, he would definitely ask Uncle Chi to kill Zhan Haoze.
"I don't want to see you either. I've already said that I'm just here to give you a gift. "
Zhan Haoze looked at his face and said two words very slowly. Zhan Kun's expression changed. He tried to get up. Zhan Haoze reached out a hand and pressed it on his chest.
Zhan Kun was old, so he couldn't break free at all.
"You, you b * stard, let go of me."
He cursed, and Zhan Haoze's strength increased by 30%. Zhan Kun's face suddenly turned pale. He glared at Zhan Haoze, almost glaring a hole in his eyes.
"Do you know why the Celebrity House and the Fragrance House were closed?"
Zhan Haoze exerted force in his hand. Looking at Zhan Kun's angry and painful appearance, but he couldn't resist, he only felt happy. "One was closed because it was involved in drugs. The other was closed because it was suspected of organizing to sell silver. "
At this point, Zhan Haoze smiled. "Next is the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant, Spring of the Four Seasons. In the future, these businesses will close down in your hands one by one. Are you happy? "
What Zhan Haoze said was all about the Zhan family's business that was making a lot of money every day. Every one of them had a chain. They operated different projects and different categories. The only thing they had in common was that these were all profitable businesses.
"You, you –" Zhan Kun pointed at Zhan Haoze. No one had told him about this matter yet. It must have just happened today.
"Oh, right. I'm afraid that you'll be too worried and won't be able to recuperate in the hospital. He purposely snored. Since it's a seizure, it'll naturally take a little longer. It's not long to seize it for a year or so, don't you think? "
"B * stard, you b * stard –"
Other than this sentence, Zhan Kun didn't have any other words to curse.
Zhan Haoze sneered and finally let go of his hand. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and slowly wiped his hand.
In the end, he threw the handkerchief at Zhan Kun's face.
Zhan Kun was so angry by his action that he coughed again. Zhan Haoze moved his face closer. "This is just the beginning. Don't worry. I will definitely destroy the Zhan family in my hands. "
Zhan Kun couldn't even speak properly. He could only point at Zhan Haoze and keep panting.
Zhan Haoze wasn't in the mood to admire his sorry state anymore. He turned around and left. He was about to go downstairs, but he accidentally saw Zhan Lie in the corridor outside.
Seeing the person, Zhan Haoze directly walked past him and was about to leave. However, Zhan Lie blocked in front of him.
"You, why are you here?"
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the ward. He didn't know what Zhan Haoze wanted to do.
Zhan Haoze ignored him and walked past him. Seeing him like this, Zhan Lie couldn't help but say, "Zhan Haoze, no matter what, you're a descendant of the Zhan family. You –"
"Mr. Zhan, be careful with your words."
Zhan Haoze stood still and said without turning his head, "Although my surname is Zhan, I'm not a descendant of the Zhan family."
"I, I'm you –"
Zhan Lie didn't finish his sentence. Zhan Haoze suddenly turned around. He reached out and grabbed the front of Zhan Lie's shirt.
"Mr. Zhan." He used all his strength. The sinister expression on his face made people think that he was Satan from hell. "What are you to me? Say it, why aren't you saying it? "
Zhan Lie shrunk his neck. Facing Zhan Haoze's expression, he didn't dare to answer him for a moment.
"If Mr. Zhan wants to live longer, it's better to think clearly."
Zhan Haoze stood up straight as he spoke. His cold eyes didn't have a trace of warmth. "After all, to me, my parents are already dead."
Zhan Lie's face was a little pale. Zhan Haoze let go of his hand and took a step back.
He clapped his hands, his gaze cold. "If Mr. Zhan doesn't know how to speak, I don't mind sending you to meet them in advance. What do you think?"
Zhan Lie's aura was instantly suppressed by Zhan Haoze, and he didn't dare to speak again.
Zhan Haoze looked at him and felt bored. He turned around and left.
For the next month, Zhan Haoze didn't go anywhere. He stayed in Qing City and focused on dealing with the Zhan family's businesses.
The Zhan family had many businesses, including the entertainment industry, the real estate industry, and the electronics industry. They were all involved in traditional industries.
A month wasn't a short time, but the Zhan family had too many businesses. With his current ability, it was impossible to destroy the Zhan family in a day. He could only destroy them one by one.
Zhan Haoze had bought a business in Qing City a few years ago. He bought the best location in the Cherry Blossom Villa.
During this period of time, he had been living in the Cherry Blossom Villa. On one hand, he had to deal with the Zhan family, and on the other hand, he had to prepare to move some of the company's main businesses to Qing City.
Zhan Haoze didn't expect that after more than a month of silence, someone from the Zhan family would actually take the initiative to look for him.
Looking at Uncle Chi in front of him, Zhan Haoze sat down on the sofa expressionlessly.
The Cherry Blossom Villa was decorated according to his preferences. It was simple but grand. Uncle Chi came in and took a few glances. When he saw Zhan Haoze, he took two steps forward and stood opposite him.
"Haoze." Uncle Chi was older than Zhan Lie. He called Zhan Haoze's name to show his friendliness. Unfortunately, the person he met was Zhan Haoze.
"What's the matter?"
Uncle Chi smiled bitterly in his heart. Zhan Haoze had suppressed some of the Zhan family's businesses, but now he was asking him what was the matter?
"Haoze, the Zhan family is your family no matter what. What you're doing now isn't appropriate, right? "
"Oh? What did I do? "
Zhan Haoze raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't quite understand what Uncle Chi meant.
"I won't repeat what you did." From the Celebrity Hall until now, many of the Zhan family's businesses had been involved.
Although it wasn't enough to shake the foundation, as a result, the entire Zhan family was indeed in a state of panic.
Uncle Chi originally wanted to get someone to make a move on Zhan Haoze, but after these days, not only did he not make a move, but he also couldn't bear to.
