The news that Zhan Haoze received was that two people suspected to be Zhan Kun and Zhan Li appeared in a villa near the sanatorium.
He knew that there was a property there that belonged to Zhan Li. If it was really in their place, then it would be a piece of cake to get it.
After driving for about forty minutes, they were about to arrive at Zhan Li's villa. In the villa, Zhan Kun and Zhan Li didn't seem surprised by Zhan Haoze's arrival at all.
Especially Zhan Kun. His old face, which was covered in age spots, had a strange smile on it.
He looked at Zhan Haoze. He was already a candle in the wind. Another stroke and the stimulation almost made him die.
But he was Zhan Kun after all. He brought himself back to life. Looking at Zhan Haoze, his face was full of pride.
"Zhan Haoze, you still have the face to come?"
Zhan Li stood up. One of his hands was broken. Although he had a prosthetic limb, it couldn't be as nimble as a real hand. This was also the reason why he hated Zhan Haoze.
Zhan Haoze didn't even look at them. He only stared at Zhan Kun.
"He spent so much effort to bring you out just to bring you here? Instead of sending you back to the Zhan family? What a waste of my expression. "
"I, I said I was here." Zhan Kun glared at Zhan Haoze with a cold gaze. "I, of course, came here because I have something to do."
Return to the Zhan family? He wanted to. But Zhan Haoze surrounded the Zhan family like an iron bucket. If he hadn't thought of a way this time, he wouldn't have been able to come out.
Thinking of this, Zhan Kun hated him even more. His eyes were filled with coldness as if he wanted to kill Zhan Haoze.
"Something to do? Who's going to help you? Uncle Chi? "
Before Zhan Kun could say anything, Zhan Li smiled when he heard his words. "Uncle Chi can naturally help Grandpa. After all, he's someone who can represent Grandpa. "
"Really?" Zhan Haoze smiled and walked to the sofa opposite Zhan Li and sat down.
"Then let's guess what you want Uncle Chi to do. For example, take back the Zhan family. Let others know that you plan to hand the Zhan family over to this piece of trash? "
"Who are you scolding?" Zhan Li couldn't take it anymore and wanted to rush up, but the bodyguard behind Zhan Haoze stood forward, so Zhan Li couldn't win.
As soon as they came out today, Zhan Kun couldn't wait to find some of his trusted aides.
After finding them, he didn't need them to protect him. He knew that Zhan Haoze would not let him die so easily. Therefore, he asked everyone to follow Uncle Chi.
As long as he took back the Zhan family, what was Zhan Haoze's people worth?
"Zhan Haoze, don't be too proud. After today, your horse will have nothing."
"Is that so?" Zhan Haoze nodded. "Why don't we wait here for a while? Look who has nothing. "
Zhan Kun's eyes widened. He looked at Zhan Haoze and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Soon, his phone rang. On the other end of the phone was one of his trusted aides other than Uncle Chi.
"Old Master, Uncle Chi, Uncle Chi ran away."
"What?" Zhan Kun's hoarse voice almost broke. She didn't believe him at all. "What did you say?"
"Uncle Chi has been captured."
Zhan Kun could no longer hear what was said on the other side of the phone. He widened his eyes and looked at Zhan Haoze.
"You, what did you do?"
It was impossible for Uncle Chi to betray him. He was suddenly captured. Zhan Haoze must have done something.
Zhan Haoze smiled, but his smile didn't reach his eyes. His expression was cold. "You should ask, what did Uncle Chi do?"
What did he mean? Zhan Kun's eyes widened. "You, you –"
"Zhan Haoze, what did you do to Uncle Chi?"
Zhan Li's arrogant voice didn't enter Zhan Haoze's ears. He looked at Zhan Kun. "Or did you ask Uncle Chi to do something?"
Zhan Kun's methods were vicious and ruthless. After so many years, he had gotten rid of all those people who had gotten in his way.
The most important person among them was naturally Uncle Chi. After decades, how many people's blood had Uncle Chi's hands been stained with? Even Zhan Kun didn't know.
"Don't worry. Soon, it will be your turn."
"You, you –"
Just like every time in the past, Zhan Kun was extremely angry at Zhan Haoze. However, he quickly came back to his senses.
"Do you think you've won?"
He forced himself to focus and glared at Zhan Haoze. "Why don't you call and ask where your woman is now?"
Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes. His phone rang at this moment. It was the bodyguard he had sent to follow Shi Mengwan to protect her.
He didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Zhan Haoze's brows furrowed tightly. He raised his head and looked at Zhan Kun.
"What did you do?"
Zhan Kun seemed to know what the call was about. He was also looking at him with a gloomy smile on his face.
"Your woman is in my hands." Zhan Kun sneered and said. His hoarse voice was very unpleasant to the ears.
The content that was revealed was even more unpleasant to the ears. Tang Hua, who was following beside Zhan Haoze, looked at Zhan Haoze worriedly.
Zhan Haoze hung up the phone and stared straight at Zhan Kun. "What did you say?"
"I said, your woman is in my hands now." Zhan Kun felt that he had finally been able to relax.
"If you don't want anything to happen to your woman, then get someone to release Uncle Chi and hand over the Zhan family."
Zhan Haoze sat there and looked at the proud and arrogant grandfather and grandson in front of him. He suddenly smiled.
"What makes you think that I will hand over the entire Zhan family for a woman?"
"You won't?"
"It's just a woman. Compared to the entire Zhan family, she's really insignificant. Moreover, the Zhan family is in my hands. How many women can I want? "
Zhan Kun shook his head. He looked at Zhan Haoze as if he was looking at him, but at the same time, it didn't seem like he was looking at him. "No, you will."
"I didn't know that you know me so well?" Zhan Haoze's face darkened. "You're sure about something that even I'm not sure about?"
"Of course I'm sure, because you're just like your father. Stupid and ridiculous. You'll abandon everything for a woman."
At the thought of Zhan Lie, Zhan Kun's expression turned ugly.
"Is that so?" Zhan Haoze's eyes darkened. "But, I'm not my father. I refuse. "
"You –" Zhan Kun didn't believe his ears. "I don't believe it, I don't believe it at all. You did it on purpose, you did it on purpose. Do you think I'll let that woman go just because you said that? "
"You've forgotten one thing. I'm not my father."
He stood up and looked at Zhan Kun. "Don't worry, Uncle Chi isn't the only one with a criminal record. The police are already on their way. I originally thought that at your age, I would have a greater sense of accomplishment if I let you stay in the sanatorium and watch me destroy the Zhan family bit by bit. But now, you'd better go to prison and watch me destroy the Zhan family. "
"Zhan Haoze." Zhan Li stood up. "Don't, don't be too smug. Let me tell you, if you don't hand over the Zhan family. Your woman is dead. "
Zhan Kun couldn't hold on any longer. He looked at Zhan Haoze. "You, I don't believe it, I don't believe it."
A police siren sounded outside the door. Zhan Haoze turned around and walked out. Zhan Kun kept shaking his head behind him. "I don't believe it. I don't believe that you really don't care. Do you really not care about that woman's life or death? "
Impossible. Zhan Haoze should be as stupid as his father. He should be as stupid as his father. He should abandon the Zhan family for a woman.
He should be the same as his father. He should …
Zhan Kun's body softened. He began to feel uncomfortable again. But what was even more uncomfortable was to come.
When Zhan Haoze walked to the door, he stopped for a moment. He turned around and looked at Zhan Kun, whose face was ashen and who was about to faint. "Oh right, I forgot to say one thing. You can call your people and ask who the woman he kidnapped is. "
Zhan Kun's eyes widened. At the same time, the phone in Zhan Li's hand rang.
The voice on the other end of the phone was full of panic. "Old Master. We kidnapped the wrong person. The person we kidnapped isn't that woman. "
Zhan Kun could no longer hear what was said after that. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Zhan Li wanted to do something else, but the police outside the door had already come in. He began to retreat.
"I didn't commit a crime. Why are you arresting me? I didn't commit a crime. You can't arrest me. I want to find a lawyer … "
Zhan Haoze couldn't hear what he said after that, and he didn't want to hear it.
After getting into the car, the convoy quickly headed towards the city center.
Shi Mengwan looked at the office environment in front of her, which was more than twice the size of her studio in Lin City, but the decoration style was the same. Other than satisfaction and surprise, there was nothing else in her eyes.
She didn't know how long it would take to renovate this place, but it definitely couldn't be done in a day or two.
This time, Zhan Haoze had only gone to look for her during this period of time, which meant that he had been preparing for a long time.
She suddenly believed what he had said about Chen Feifei.
He had really started to think about breaking off the engagement a long time ago and then being with her. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so attentive.
Especially when she saw a few of her designs in the exhibition hall. Other than the ones she had participated in the French competition last time, there were also a few that she had participated in the domestic competition.
Other than the award-winning works, there were even some of her early and slightly immature designs. All of them could be seen here.
She suddenly wanted to see Zhan Haoze very, very much.
She wanted to ask the bodyguard where Zhan Haoze was. If possible, she wanted to go directly to Zhan Haoze's place. She wanted to go find him.
She really liked this gift too much, too much.
When she turned around, she realized that Zhan Haoze had arrived at some point in time. She quickly went forward. Without thinking, she threw herself into his arms.
"You're here?"
When Zhan Haoze saw her, he knew that under his arrangements, nothing would happen to Shi Mengwan, but he still couldn't help but reach out and hug her tightly.
His heart, which had been hanging in the air all along the way, finally relaxed a little.
She was still here. She was safe and sound. Zhan Kun didn't affect her. His people didn't succeed either. She was still fine. This was good, very good.
"Haoze?"
He hugged her too tightly, making it hard for her to breathe. She couldn't help but look up at him.
Zhan Haoze finally let go of her. He looked at his surroundings and looked at her again.
"En, how is it? Do you like it? "
Shi Mengwan nodded heavily and hugged his waist. "I like it, I really like it."
It was exactly what she had imagined the studio to look like. It was bigger, better, and the style was more suitable.
"If there's anything else you don't think is suitable, you can tell Tang Hua directly and ask him to get someone to change it."
"There's nothing inappropriate. Everything is suitable."
When he said that it was being renovated, she really thought that it was a studio that was still being renovated. But who knew that he would give her such a big surprise?
How was this still being renovated? She could just come in and work.
"It's good that it's suitable." Zhan Haoze hugged her waist and gently stroked her hair with his hand. There was a faint smile on his face. "I asked Tang Hua to recruit people. The preliminary exam has already been passed. If you're at ease, let Tang Hua do the second exam and interview. If you're not at ease, you can do it yourself. The information is ready. It's in your office in front. "
He had thought of something for her that she hadn't thought of. "As for the studio in Lin City, there's no need to end it. You can arrange for people you trust. Continue to operate as a branch. "
"There are also the two contract factories that you contacted. If you can't handle the work in Lin City, I asked Tang Hua to buy two clothing factories in Qing City. From now on, they're all yours. "
Zhan Haoze's words made Shi Mengwan's eyes widen. Two clothing factories. What did that mean? If he said he would buy them, he would buy them.
"Zhan Haoze, you'll spoil me rotten if you do this." She only thought that a factory would be willing to split out a production line to make the clothes she designed, but she never thought that she would be able to have a clothing factory herself.
"You're spoiling me rotten just like that?" Zhan Haoze felt that she was too easily satisfied. "Since you want to be big, of course you'll be more at ease with your own factory. At least you can control more. "
"Okay." He was so thoughtful. What else was Shi Mengwan not satisfied with? She tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. "Thank you. Haoze. "
Zhan Haoze looked at her and held her hand in his. "I don't want your thanks. What's mine is yours. You never have to say thanks to me. "
Because of his words, Shi Mengwan reached out to hold his face. She looked at him fixedly and met his eyes.
"Zhan Haoze, are you really Zhan Haoze?"
Was the man who was so good at saying sweet words, thinking for her, and thinking of all her problems really her Dear Brother? Was he really the Zhan Haoze who used to be as cold as ice to her?
"If I'm not Zhan Haoze, who am I?"
Shi Mengwan suddenly smiled. Yes, if he wasn't her Dear Brother, who else could he be?
"Or do you not like me like this?"
"I like it." Shi Mengwan hugged him tightly. "I like it too much."
"It's good that you like it."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. Soon, someone brought in a large bouquet of roses. He knelt down on one knee in front of her.
He handed the roses in his hand to her. "Wanwan, marry me."
Shi Mengwan bit her lip. She didn't believe that there would be so many surprises today. "Zhan Haoze, you …"
"Marry me. I know it's very difficult for you to let go of everything in Lin City and come here with me. But I still selfishly hope that you will agree to marry me. I promise that I will always treat you well and take care of you for the rest of your life. "
Shi Mengwan covered her lips and looked at the large bouquet of roses. Her eyes turned red and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. "I promise you."
Zhan Haoze watched as she took the bouquet of roses and took out a ring from it. It wasn't the big diamond ring she had imagined. Instead, it was a very ordinary diamond ring that looked a little old.
The diamond was small and not big. But the luster was moving. The style was also very classic.
Zhan Haoze put the ring on Shi Mengwan's hand. His slender fingers gently pointed at the surface of the ring. "This is considered an engagement ring. I've already asked someone to make the wedding ring. It will take some time before it can be sent back. "
"It's okay." Shi Mengwan didn't mind.
Zhan Haoze didn't look at her. He just stared at the ring. "This ring is my mother's relic. It's the wedding ring she used to marry my father. "
Shi Mengwan looked at this extraordinary ring. At this moment, she could almost feel the weight of this ring.
"Actually, there's no need to specially order a wedding ring. This one is also very good."
"No. You deserve better. "
Zhan Haoze held her hand as if he had thought of something. "Let's go. I'll take you somewhere?"
"Where to?"
"You'll know when you come with me," Zhan Haoze said.
Shi Mengwan looked at him and followed him with the large bouquet of roses in her arms. They went out together.
Zhan Haoze sat in the car with a serious expression. He picked up the phone a few times, but Shi Mengwan almost didn't hear him speak. It was just a simple "En, okay, I got it."
Such a response, such a Zhan Haoze, made her feel as if he had returned to when they first met.
She couldn't help but reach out to hold Zhan Haoze's hand. Zhan Haoze turned around to look at her. When he met the worry in her eyes, he patted her hand.
"Zhan Haoze? Are you okay? "
"I'm fine."
Zhan Haoze held her hand tightly, and the expression on his face was a little complicated. He seemed to be relaxed, yet nervous, yet in pain, yet happy.
Shi Mengwan couldn't tell, but Zhan Haoze's gaze made her heart ache. She couldn't help but hold his hand and snuggle into his arms at the same time.
"I'll be with you."
I'll always be with you.
Zhan Haoze didn't say anything more. He just pressed his chin against the top of her head and smelled the faint fragrance on her body. The urge to kill slowly relaxed.
Zhan Kun wasn't locked up in the end. Because he fainted again. This time, he probably wouldn't be able to save him.
Uncle Chi refused to confess what he had done, even if the evidence was irrefutable. But regardless of whether he confessed or not, he would probably end up in prison.
As for Zhan Li and Zhan Yang. Without Zhan Kun, they were nothing to be afraid of.
The remaining Bi Shuqiao and Zhan Lie —
The Bi family wanted to help Bi Shuqiao seize power with the business travel package and regain control of the Zhan family. But the Bi family had been arrogant enough for the past few years.
In the past few days, he had been speeding up his actions to deal with the Bi family. He believed that in less than a week, the Bi family would go bankrupt.
If the Bi family went bankrupt, Bi Shuqiao would no longer have any bargaining chips or loyalty. Zhan Lie would lose such help, and Zhan Li and Zhan Yang wouldn't be able to live up to expectations.
The Zhan family could be considered to be completely finished.
And his cautiousness and forbearance over the past few months had also come to an end.
The police were already on their way to the Zhan family's mansion. It wouldn't take long for the Zhan family to be sealed up. After all, Zhan Kun, Uncle Chi, and Zhan Lie's hands weren't clean.
Without the Zhan family, the Zhan family might be even worse than ordinary people.
His long-cherished wish had finally come true.
