Shi Mengwan took a step forward. "Dad?"
Father Shi felt even more uncomfortable when he saw her like this. He couldn't help but raise his voice. "Why? Can't I talk to him for a bit? Go and help your mother cook. You, come with me. "
It was still too early to cook. Grandma Shi wasn't around right now. It seemed like she had gone to Second Uncle and Third Uncle's house to call for someone.
Shi Mengwan was a little worried and couldn't help but glance at Zhan Haoze.
Facing his future father-in-law's fierce gaze, Zhan Haoze patted the back of Shi Mengwan's hand comfortingly and followed behind Father Shi.
Half an hour later, Zhan Haoze returned behind Father Shi.
The two of them seemed to be quite friendly. Shi Mengwan thought, 'This must be my imagination.' Yes, it must be.
… …
Today's experience was quite novel for Zhan Haoze.
This was the first time he was put in a difficult position. It was the first time he was chased out of his house, and the first time he was threatened. It was the first time Kuo Lianshan had eaten with such a large table of people.
He had a lot of social engagements in the business world, but there weren't many people who could sit in front of him.
Shi Mengwan's family consisted of four people. Including Grandma Shi, there were four from Second Uncle Shi's family, and five from Third Uncle Shi's family. Shi Mengwan's aunt was also called back by Grandma Shi.
Two tables were filled with people. The table was outside in the courtyard.
She ate the dishes cooked by Mother Shi herself. The ingredients were all ready-made. The chickens were reared in the back, and the vegetables were picked from the fields.
He was drinking the soju that Father Shi brewed himself using the rural method. It didn't look like much, but it was full of power.
Although Shi Mengwan and Grandma Shi occasionally didn't get along because of the matter of adoption. However, the two uncles and aunts were not bad people.
The whole family was happy and harmonious. Although there were occasional restraints, this kind of atmosphere was very fresh for Zhan Haoze.
He was inevitably drunk. After getting drunk, he slept in Shi Mengwan's room upstairs for the whole day.
In the end, when he woke up the next day, under Father Shi's disdainful gaze, he brought him to the field.
En. In this season, many vegetables were already ripe, such as beans, eggplants, and loofah. Father Shi asked him to help pick the vegetables.
Shi Mengwan wanted to help, but Father Shi wouldn't let her. He said that this was a chance for Zhan Haoze to perform.
What could Zhan Haoze say? Of course, he followed them.
However, this vegetable was not finished.
Zhan Haoze received a call from Tang Hua. Something had happened in Qingcheng.
After leaving the Shi family, Zhan Haoze drove a little faster. He couldn't get on the highway here, so he had to go to the county. Before Zhan Haoze drove the car out of the town, Tang Hua had already brought the motorcade to wait for them at the entrance of the town.
Tang Hua brought people here, so Zhan Haoze naturally didn't need to drive himself. He got into the car with Shi Mengwan.
Before getting into the car, Shi Mengwan saw Tang Hua say something to Zhan Haoze. But the voice was too soft, so she didn't hear it clearly.
When he got into the car, Shi Mengwan saw the anxiety in his eyes. He was a little worried. "Did something happen to the company? Is it urgent? "
"Fortunately, I can solve it."
Zhan Haoze's expression was very calm. Speaking of which, it was really not a big deal. It was just that Zhan Li ran away with a broken arm.
Shi Mengwan looked at his expression and didn't ask anymore. She had discovered very early on that no matter how she asked, he wouldn't say anything that Zhan Haoze didn't want her to know.
The car got on the highway very smoothly and quickly. Shi Mengwan looked at his side profile and thought of something else.
"Oh right, what did my dad say to you yesterday?"
"Nothing." Zhan Haoze thought of Father Shi's "threat" to him. He said, "Don't think that you have money. Our family doesn't want your money, and we don't care. My daughter can earn money. Let me tell you, if you don't treat Wanwan well, I won't let you off even if I have to risk my life. "
"Really?" Why didn't she believe it?
"You have a good father." As he spoke, he held her hand and placed it in his palm.
"Not only that, I also have a good mother." In Shi Mengwan's heart, her parents were the best in the world.
"En. Your parents are very good. "
Zhan Haoze's voice seemed to be emotional. He pulled Shi Mengwan into his arms and pressed his chin against the top of her head.
"Actually, I also have a good mother." Originally, he also had a good father. But —
"…" Shi Mengwan wanted to look up at him, but he pressed the back of her head.
"Unfortunately, my mother didn't live long enough to see me grow up."
"Your mother, she –" She had heard before that his mother was no longer around, but she didn't know why.
"When I was seven years old, she had an accident …"
He didn't finish his sentence, but Shi Mengwan could feel Zhan Haoze's stiff body. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around him.
She looked up at him. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It's all in the past."
Zhan Haoze's expression was calm, but only he knew that all of that wasn't in the past.
His arms around Shi Mengwan were a little tight. Shi Mengwan's hands wrapped around his waist, silently comforting him.
Zhan Haoze's heart was as hard as a knife. He didn't need Shi Mengwan's comfort at all, but her actions still made him feel extremely comfortable.
He reached out and patted her back gently. Feeling the fragrance on her body, the trace of ruthlessness and murderous hatred in his heart was slightly suppressed.
Shi Mengwan was patted by him and actually felt a little sleepy. Before she knew it, she fell asleep.
She fell asleep, but Zhan Haoze couldn't fall asleep. His mind was thinking about Zhan Li. Zhan Li had lost an arm, so he couldn't run far.
Moreover, the entire Zhan family was under his surveillance. In this situation, the person who could help Zhan Li get out must be someone who was very familiar with the Zhan family.
He suddenly pressed a button in the car. The glass in the middle lowered. Tang Hua turned around and looked at Zhan Haoze, asking him what was the matter with his eyes.
Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan, who was sleeping soundly in his arms. He took out his phone and typed a line of words before handing it to Tang Hua.
"Let the people watching the sanatorium take a look. Is the old man still there?"
Tang Hua was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect Zhan Haoze to ask this. However, he nodded slightly and quickly understood what Zhan Haoze meant.
After Zhan Haoze asked the question he was concerned about, he didn't ask anymore.
When Shi Mengwan woke up, Zhan Haoze just happened to get the news he wanted to know.
The old man was missing. Heh. In a place like the sanatorium, his people were guarding it layer by layer, but the old man still didn't see him?
Zhan Haoze definitely wouldn't believe that there wasn't a mole in this matter.
Shi Mengwan looked at the moving car and sat up to look at the time. "Are we not there yet?"
"We're here. We're going to the airport now."
Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan and placed her hand in his palm. "Wanwan, come back to Qing City with me, okay?"
Shi Mengwan had originally planned to follow him back, but she said, "Isn't it too rushed? I still have a lot of things to do in my studio. "
"You can use the Internet to handle some of the work. As for the studio, I'll hire someone to take care of it for you. I've already found a place in Qing City. It'll all follow your current model and open a new song-seeking studio. How about that? "
Shi Mengwan didn't expect him to move so quickly. "You've already done it?"
"Yes." Zhan Haoze nodded. "I've found a place. It's not far from my company in Qing City. Also, the location and half of it are based on your current style. When we go to Qing City, you can go take a look yourself. "
"You've already taken care of it. Can I still find a reason to refuse?"
"No." Zhan Haoze looked at her with a deep gaze. "Just treat it as me being selfish. I want you to accompany me. "
"Okay."
Shi Mengwan nodded. Zhan Haoze knew that she would agree, but he didn't expect her to agree so quickly. "Wanwan?"
"It's my job anyway. It doesn't matter where I go. I can work hard to start my own business in Lin City, so I believe I can do well in Qing City. Besides, there's still you. You'll help me, right? "
"Yes." Zhan Haoze nodded. "I'll help you."
Four hours later, Zhan Haoze and Shi Mengwan arrived at Cherry Blossom Manor.
"You rest for a while. I have something to take care of. I probably can't have dinner with you tonight. "
"Okay." Shi Mengwan wasn't a teenage girl who would pester her boyfriend to accompany her every day. "If you have something to do, go ahead."
"I'm a little busy these few days. If you want to go to Rong City to see Mrs. Huo, I'll get someone to send you there."
"Okay, I'll think about when to go." Last time, Su Qingsang was still waiting for her to explain what happened with Zhan Haoze. She hadn't told her properly yet.
This time, she had to explain it to Su Qingsang properly.
Zhan Haoze was a little moved by how considerate she was and how she didn't quarrel with him. He lowered his head and kissed her lips until she was panting.
"Wait for me to come back."
Zhan Haoze finished explaining. When he left Cherry Blossom Manor, he asked Tang Hua to double the number of guards here before leaving. His destination was the Zhan family's mansion.
The Zhan family's mansion was at the foot of the green mountain near the suburbs of Qing City. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the entire area belonged to the Zhan family.
Other than the main building in the middle, there were also side buildings on both sides and side buildings at the back. Zhan Kun was old and didn't like others to disturb him. Therefore, even the descendant of the Zhan family, Zhan Lie, lived in the side building.
After Zhan Kun was sent to the sanatorium, the side building locked up Zhan Lie, Bi Shuqiao, Zhan Li, and Zhan Yang's family.
Zhan Haoze was afraid that they would be afraid, so he asked people to guard them. Other than the cook and the two cleaning servants, no one else could come in.
Usually, the people in charge of buying vegetables were arranged by Zhan Haoze. Others could go in, but Zhan Lie's family couldn't go out.
So now that Zhan Li had disappeared, it was really suspicious.
After entering the door, Zhan Lie sat on the sofa. Zhan Yang had a broken leg, so he naturally couldn't run away. Bi Shuqiao sat next to Zhan Yang. When she saw Zhan Haoze enter, she was like an angry cat and started cursing again.
Zhan Haoze didn't even look at her and walked straight to Zhan Lie.
"Where is he?"
He was tall and had no less than ten bodyguards behind him. More than ten people squeezed into the living room. Even though the living room of the Zhan family wasn't small, it still looked very cramped.
Bi Shuqiao stood up and pointed at Zhan Haoze's nose. "Zhan Haoze, aren't you vicious? Zhan Li is your younger brother, and you actually let someone break his hand. It's one thing to break his hand, but you still want to lock us up. Let me tell you, do you think you can lock us up for the rest of our lives? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. "
She continued to curse, and the words that followed became more and more unpleasant to hear.
Zhan Haoze walked past her and directly in front of Zhan Lie. "Where is he?"
Zhan Lie sat on the sofa and didn't dare to speak. Zhan Haoze sneered and clapped his hands. Soon, someone came in.
"Zhan Haoze." Zhan Lie didn't understand what he was going to do until he saw Zhan Haoze's man holding a knife and pointing it at Zhan Yang's uncrippled leg.
"Zhan Haoze, what are you doing?"
"Zhan Haoze, tell him to put down the knife. What exactly do you want to do? "
Zhan Haoze wasn't moved at all. He waved his hand, and the knife in the man's hand was about to stab into Zhan Yang's leg.
Zhan Lie stood up. "Zhan Haoze, are you crazy?"
"Where is he?" Zhan Haoze's hand stopped for a moment and he stared at Zhan Lie's face.
"Who are you talking about? Who knows what you're talking about? "
"Zhan Kun and Zhan Li, where are they?"
"How would I know?" As soon as Zhan Lie finished speaking, Zhan Haoze's finger moved. The knife had already pierced into Zhan Yang's thigh.
"Ah –" Zhan Yang cried out. Bi Shuqiao screamed and wanted to rush over, but she was held up by someone.
"I like to be polite before resorting to force." Zhan Haoze looked quite easy to talk to. "How did Zhan Li leave this place? Where is Zhan Kun? If you don't tell me, I can only continue. "
As he spoke, the knife that was stabbed into Zhan Yang's thigh was pulled out. Blood gushed out, and Zhan Yang screamed even more miserably.
Zhan Lie stood up, and someone held him up from behind. He couldn't move at all. He shouted at Zhan Haoze, "Zhan Haoze, do you have a conscience? He's your younger brother. "
"My mother only gave birth to me. I don't have a younger brother."
Zhan Haoze tilted his head, and the knife stabbed in again. Zhan Yang was about to faint from the pain. Bi Shuqiao was furious. She kept cursing, but she was afraid that Zhan Haoze would use even more ruthless methods later.
"Stop." Zhan Lie was furious. "I'm your father. Stop right now. "
Zhan Haoze raised his head. The person who was holding Zhan Lie actually bent her knees.
"Ha." Zhan Lie had been living a comfortable life all these years. His face turned pale when he was suddenly treated like this. "Zhan, Zhan Haoze, you –"
"Don't say that you're my father. You don't deserve it."
Zhan Haoze looked at him coldly. His gaze was cold, without a trace of warmth. His eyes were filled with deep hatred. He looked at them as if he was looking at a dead person.
"If you don't tell me where Zhan Kun is today, I can only continue to poke holes in your beloved youngest son's body. I just don't know how long he can last. "
As he spoke, the subordinate pulled out the knife again. This time, Zhan Yang didn't even scream. He fainted from the pain. Bi Shuqiao wanted to stand up again, but she ended up like Zhan Lie.
Her knees were pushed forward, and it looked like she was going to kneel down to Zhan Haoze. She hated him more and more, but her cursing became much softer.
When Zhan Haoze's men were about to stab him for the third time, Zhan Lie finally couldn't take it anymore. "Enough. I'll talk, I'll talk. "
Zhan Haoze asked his men to stop. Zhan Lie looked at Zhan Haoze. "I, I don't know."
Just as Zhan Haoze was about to get someone to attack again, Zhan Lie quickly explained, "I really don't know. The last time Uncle Chi came to see us, he said he would think of a way. The next day, we found out that Zhan Li had disappeared. "
Afraid that Zhan Haoze would make another move, Zhan Lie shrunk his neck. "I only know this much. I don't know the rest."
Zhan Haoze stood still, and his subordinate's knife once again pressed against Zhan Yang's leg.
"I really don't know. Everything was arranged by Uncle Chi. We just listen to him. "
Zhan Haoze asked his men to stop and stared at Zhan Lie for a long time. With a wave of his hand, he quickly left with the dozen bodyguards.
As for the wound on Zhan Yang's leg? As long as it didn't pierce his bones, he wouldn't die.
For the next two days, Zhan Haoze was looking for Zhan Kun and Zhan Yang. Zhan Yang was not to be feared. But Zhan Kun. He had controlled the Zhan Family for so many years, and his methods were first-rate, sinister and ruthless.
It turned out that he hadn't been given a chance. So be it. Now that there was a chance, he wouldn't let it go so easily. He just didn't know what Zhan Kun was planning to do.
No matter what he did, Zhan Haoze wasn't afraid. He had already made all the necessary preparations. Naturally, he wouldn't let Zhan Kun have the chance to take back the power that was already in his hands.
Moreover, his goal was to destroy the Zhan family.
When he returned to the Cherry Blossom Manor, Shi Mengwan was already asleep. These few days, he had been busy searching for Zhan Kun's whereabouts, so he had neglected her a lot.
He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Zhan Haoze's movements were very light, but he accidentally woke Shi Mengwan up.
"Dear Brother?" In a daze, Shi Mengwan, who had dreamed of her youth, thought that her Dear Brother had returned.
Zhan Haoze's response was to give her another kiss. Only then did she wake up.
"Why did you only come back now? Have you eaten? "
"I've eaten. I've been busy recently, so I neglected you. "As Zhan Haoze spoke, he kissed her on the lips again.
Shi Mengwan shook her head. "It's okay. I wasn't idle either."
In the Cherry Blossom Manor, there was a full set of drawing tools that Zhan Haoze had sent over. A work desk, a computer, everything was available. She would be busy these few days.
Her wedding with Zhan Haoze was only a matter of time. She had her own ideas about her wedding. Not only did she have her own ideas, but she also had requirements for the wedding dress.
In this way, she had something to do, so she was much calmer about Zhan Haoze not coming back.
"I'll accompany you after I'm done with my work." Zhan Haoze thought for a moment. "How about I take you to see the studio tomorrow? The renovations are almost done. If you have any ideas, you can bring them up. "
"Sure." Shi Mengwan wanted to go when she heard him say that, but Zhan Haoze had been busy, so she didn't mention it.
"Well, then go to bed early. We'll go to the studio tomorrow."
He didn't touch Shi Mengwan. He kissed her on the forehead and let her sleep.
Zhan Kun couldn't find him for a while, but he wasn't in a hurry. The next morning, Zhan Haoze woke up and brought Shi Mengwan to the studio he had arranged for her.
However, before he could go out, he received the news from Tang Hua. There was news of Zhan Kun.
Zhan Haoze hung up the phone and looked at Shi Mengwan with an inexplicable sense of guilt.
"If you have something to do, go do it. Don't worry about me."
"Wanwan."
"It's okay. You can ask anyone to accompany me."
