Chapter 691: Boss, Aren’t You Tired

The room was very quiet. It was so quiet that Shi Mengwan’s steady breathing could be heard.

Zhan Haoze didn’t move either. He just sat there and looked at Shi Mengwan’s face. Time passed bit by bit. The eastern sky gradually turned white. Shi Mengwan, who was on the bed, turned around.

In this way, she was completely facing Zhan Haoze. He lowered his head and gently planted a kiss on her forehead.

Like a feather brushing over Shi Mengwan’s forehead, the kiss was very light. In her sleep, she frowned slightly.

Zhan Haoze didn’t go to smooth the space between her eyebrows. He looked at her for a while, and after making sure that she was not awake, he got up and left.

When he went downstairs, Tang Hua was still waiting. Seeing Zhan Haoze’s expression, Tang Hua sighed. “Boss –”

“Let’s go.” Zhan Haoze got into the car and looked back at the apartment. “I’m afraid that there will be a tough battle coming up.”

He had been doing so much recently. The Zhan family wouldn’t let it go 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 he wouldn’t speak, he let out a faint sigh.

“It’s okay. I’m used to it anyway.”

After so many years, he didn’t dare to relax at all. Whether it was at the Chen family or going back to Qing City.

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 calming himself down, Tang Hua looked at Zhan Haoze again. “Where do you want to go next?”

“Go to the company and arrange everything. We’ll go back to Qing City tonight.”

“Yes.”

... ..

Zhan Haoze had a lot of things to do. In the past few years, he had put a lot of effort into expanding his company.

He needed to make himself strong enough to compete with the Zhan family in the shortest time possible. Although it was difficult, it was something he had to do.

He spent a day to settle most of the matters in the company and arranged the people to guard the company. He signed the two contracts that he had originally planned to sign.

Next, he had to focus all his energy on Qing City. 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 he was in emergency resuscitation until the second half of the night. He is still in the ICU at this time.”

Tang Hua’s words were filled with schadenfreude, but there was also some worry on his face. “Boss, do you think the old man will die just like that?”

“No.” Zhan Haoze sneered. “I’ve said it before. He still has things to worry about. He won’t die just like that.”

“Then should we postpone the plan?”

“No need.” Zhan Haoze was impatient and didn’t want to delay. “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 it a big gift? The old man would probably faint after receiving Zhan Haoze’s gift.

Not faint because he was so happy, but because he was so angry.

..

Zhan Kun was in the ICU. Zhan Lie and the Zhan brothers were guarding outside. Zhan Lie sat on the bench and looked anxiously at the emergency room with the lights on. His wife, Bi Shuqiao, sat beside him. She was also anxious.

Compared to them, although Zhan Zhi’s expression was also very grave, he didn’t look too anxious.

He glanced at his son. Zhan Yi understood and turned around to walk out. Zhan Li and Zhan Yang stood in front of him.

Both of them didn’t have a good image. Both of them were badly bruised. Zhan Li had a bandage on his arm. It was obvious that his arm had been broken.

Zhan Yang wasn’t much better. His face was also injured. Although there weren’t any obvious fractures and it wasn’t as serious as Zhan Li’s, the expression on his face was very amusing.

These two groups made people feel baffled and amused at first sight. However, no one present could laugh.

“Zhan Yi, where are you going? You’re not thinking of escaping, are you?”

Although Zhan Li and Zhan Yang weren’t the most ideal heirs in Zhan Kun’s eyes, no matter what, they had been raised by Zhan Lie in the old mansion.

These two brothers couldn’t be said to be close to Zhan Kun from a young age, but at least compared to the others who couldn’t be publicly known, they were always able to show their faces in front of Zhan Kun.

But the two of them didn’t expect that Zhan Yi would appear out of nowhere. It was bad enough that Zhan Yi appeared out of nowhere, but the two of them also suffered such a great loss at Zhan Yi’s hands. So now, the two of them looked at Zhan Yi with eyes full of resentment.

In the face of their provocation, Zhan Yi wasn’t afraid at all. He was quite calm.

“Escape? Do I need to escape? Escape to where? It’s just that Grandpa has given me something to do. Although Grandpa is in a coma now, I still have to finish what Grandpa has given me. Otherwise, Grandpa will be unhappy when he wakes up.”

After all, he was still young. After being brought back from outside out of the blue, Zhan Yi couldn’t control the smug look 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 we don’t make things clear today, you won’t be able to leave.”

“That’s right, if you don’t make things clear, you won’t be able to leave.” Zhan Li glared at Zhan Yi, then raised his uninjured finger and pointed at him. “You beat us up like this, yet you want to leave just like that?”

Yesterday, Zhan Li and Zhan Yang had 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 and one of them kicked Zhan Yi’s body.

Zhan Yi was protected by Zhan Kun, so he wasn’t injured at all. However, such a good day had been ruined by Zhan Li and Zhan Yang.

Zhan Kun couldn’t stand such stimulation, and he didn’t expect that the banquet he had meticulously arranged would have such a big mistake. In his fit of anger, he was sent straight to the emergency room.

“Idiots.” Zhan Yi looked at the two people in front of him with a cold smile. “Don’t you guys have any brains?”

“Zhan Yi, what do you mean?”

“Zhan Yi, you bastard.”

Zhan Yang reached out his fist and was about to swing it at Zhan Yi’s face again, but Zhan Yi narrowly avoided it. He turned his head and looked at his two idiot brothers in front of him with some ridicule. “You said that I was the one who beat you up? You said that I was the one who made you like this?”

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 guys were simply manipulated by others and didn’t even know it. If you guys aren’t idiots, then what are you guys?”

Yesterday was Zhan Yi’s first time showing his face in front of others. It was supposed to be a good thing. But Zhan Li, who was outside, Zhan Yang suddenly came back.

Not only did he come back, but he was also covered in injuries. He even attacked Zhan Yi the moment he came back. That action was a slap to Zhan Kun’s face. This made Zhan Kun angry. He was so angry that he was hospitalized.

Zhan Yi was busy performing as a filial son and grandson in front of the old man at that time. Naturally, he didn’t have the time to argue with Zhan Li and Zhan Yang.

But now, he had finally recovered. There was someone who wasn’t on good terms with him, and wanted Zhan Yang and Zhan Yang to teach him a lesson.

Now that he saw that the two of them still had the time to find trouble with him, Zhan Yi’s tone naturally wasn’t very pleasant.

“If it weren’t for your stupidity, grandfather wouldn’t have been so angry that he went to the hospital.”

With the intelligence of the two brothers, they would never have thought that they had been used.

Now, they heard Zhan Yi blame himself for Zhan Kun’s comatose state. Zhan Li and Zhan Yang’s expressions changed. “Can you say one more word?”

They were out on a business trip. It could be said that they were working hard for the Zhan family, but what news did they hear?

Zhan Kun actually acknowledged the other illegitimate child’s child. He even planned to introduce him to the upper-class society 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 to ask where Zhan Yi had come from.

One had to know that all the children of the Zhan family, even if their surname was Zhan, would be useless without Zhan Kun’s acknowledgment.

However, when the two of them returned to Qing City, they had just gotten off the plane when they were beaten up.

The person who beat them up had made it very clear that today was Zhan Yi’s good day, so they had to have some sense and not go looking for trouble.

This was something that Zhan Li and Zhan Yang had never done before. Not only were they humiliated, but it was also a clear declaration of their future status in the Zhan family.

How could Zhan Li and Zhan Yang endure it? That was why they had rushed to Zhan Yi’s door in order to teach him a lesson.

Yesterday, they were still fighting together. Now that they were provoked by Zhan Yi’s words, intending to teach Zhan Yi a lesson, the two of them stepped forward together.

Zhan Yi wasn’t afraid at all. “You guys really are stupid. If you have the leisure to look for trouble with me here, you might as well think about how to find the culprit.”

“Isn’t the culprit you? Why are you pretending to be the good person here?”

Zhan Li and Zhan Yang were furious. The two of them took another step forward, and Zhan Li’s hand almost poked Zhan Yi’s face.

“A stupid pig is a stupid pig. It’s fine if you’re impulsive, but you don’t even have a brain.”

Zhan Yi’s words made the two of them furious. Before they could open their mouths, Bi Shuqiao, who had been silent the whole time, couldn’t stand it anymore and stood up.

“Enough.” She took two steps forward and walked in front of Zhan Yi. She glared at the person who had snatched away her son’s position in front of her. “It’s not your turn to make decisions in the Zhan family. No matter how bad Zhan Li and Zhan Yang are, they were raised by the old man. Who do you think you are?”

On the other side, Zhan Zhi couldn’t take it anymore. The juniors were simply arguing a little, so why did Bi Shuqiao have to jump out?

“I must say, sister-in-law, although you’re the older sister-in-law, you have to be reasonable when you speak and do things. The old man was originally angry because of them, so my Zhan Yi wasn’t in the wrong.”

Zhan Zhi was one of Zhan Kun’s sons, so he had some ability. Otherwise, since the old man had so many illegitimate children outside, how could he let the old man acknowledge his existence?

However, no matter how capable he was, he couldn’t stop the old man from wholeheartedly supporting Zhan Lie. But, he was trying his best to suppress their sons outside.

Now all h*ll broke loose. It wasn’t easy for the old man to be willing to support the younger generation, especially since the old man had taken a liking to her own son. As his father, he naturally had to support his son at this time.

On one side, they were quarreling non-stop. On the other side, Uncle Chi could only sigh in his heart.

Zhan Kun was such a decisive and shrewd person back then.

But now, looking at the people of the Zhan family, other than Zhan Lie, who was still barely capable, there was really no one in the third generation who could take on such 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 their glory in his hands.

However, Zhan Kun’s order was to take Zhan Haoze’s life. Uncle Chi didn’t have the time to order Zhan Haoze to be dealt with 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 much time 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 have to go through some trouble.

Uncle Chi thought about it and looked at the people in front of him. He turned around and went 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 make his own decision.

...

Zhan Haoze wouldn’t care about what the Zhan family had done because of him. He was busy preparing the second gift.

Late at night, the people in the Zhan family were tired of arguing, and they were too lazy to argue. There weren’t many who truly cared about the old man. When it was time, everyone except Zhan Lie went to rest.

Zhan Lie couldn’t stay up late at night, so he went to rest.

Truthfully, there were doctors and nurses in the VIP ward. It didn’t matter if they stayed here to guard.

But these people only had one purpose in guarding, to let Zhan Kun see them the first time he woke up, to get attention, and to perform well.

Zhan Lie had been acting as a filial son for half a day. Now that he was sleepy, he naturally went to rest.

There was no one else in the ward except for the bodyguards. Just like last time, Zhan Haoze easily entered the ward again.

But this time, the old man didn’t wake up. In fact, the shock Zhan Kun received this time wasn’t as big as last time, but it was more serious than last time.

It really wasn’t because he saw Zhan Li and Zhan Yang, the two idiots, making a move on 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 that the Zhan family had developed for so many years, the hundred-year-old family that had started from the late Qing dynasty had actually fallen to the point where there was no successor for him.

How couldn’t this make Zhan Kun angry? Zhan Yi was the choice he was forced to make.

No matter what, he had taught Zhan Li and Zhan Yang for a period of time, but they were still so stupid and so reckless.

As the head of the Zhan family, he wasn’t even qualified as the descendant of the Zhan family. Because of this provocation, Zhan Kun’s symptoms became serious again.

He had woken up in the afternoon, but when he woke up, he heard Zhan Li and Zhan Yang, wanting to teach Zhan Yi a lesson, arguing outside.

Once he was provoked, he fainted again.

Zhan Haoze didn’t have much time for Zhan Kun. It was his business that he liked to sleep, but his time was very precious.

He took a glance and picked up a glass of water from the bedside. He slowly poured it on Zhan Kun’s face.

Zhan Kun was old and hadn’t recovered yet. After being splashed with cold water, even though it wasn’t cold in this season, he still felt uncomfortable.

“... Who was it?”

The first thing he saw when he woke up was Zhan Haoze standing by his bed.

Zhan Kun remembered that he had just suffered a stroke, so how could he have the strength to do anything?

Zhan Haoze casually put the cup in his hand to the side. He looked down at Zhan Kun coldly.

“You, you –”

Zhan Kun wiped the water off his face. He was shocked when he saw Zhan Haoze. Didn’t he ask Uncle Chi to deal with this person? Why was he still here?

“What about me?” Zhan Haoze sneered. “I came 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.” historical

“Don’t you want to listen to what I’m giving you?”

When Zhan Haoze spoke, the smile on his face didn’t reach his eyes. He looked cold and gloomy.

“Get out. I, I don’t want to see you.”

Zhan Kun’s eyes were filled with murderous intent. After today’s incident, he would definitely let Uncle Chi kill Zhan Haoze.

“I don’t want to see you either. I’ve already said that I’m only 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 stretched out a hand and pressed it on his chest.

Zhan Kun was old so he couldn’t break free at all.

“You, you bastard, let go of me.”

After he cursed, Zhan Haoze’s strength increased by 30%. Zhan Kun’s face instantly turned pale. He glared at Zhan Haoze, as if to burn a hole through him with his eyes.

“Do you know why the Celebrity Hall and the Fangxiang Pavilion were closed?”

Zhan Haoze tightened his grip and looked at Zhan Kun who was in pain but couldn’t resist. He only felt happy. “One was shut down because it was involved in drugs. The other was shut down because it was suspected of illegally selling silver.”

When he said this, Zhan Haoze smiled. “Next will be Tianxiang Building and Four Seasons Spring. From now on, these businesses under your hands will close down one by one. Are you happy?”

What Zhan Haoze referred to were all the Zhan family’s business that were making a lot of money every day. Every family had a chain. They operated different projects and different types of businesses. The only similarity was that these were all businesses that made money.

“You, you –” Zhan Kun pointed at Zhan Haoze. No one had told him about this yet. It must have happened today.

“Oh, right. I was afraid that you would be too worried and wouldn’t be able to recuperate in the hospital, so I deliberately came to give you a heads up. Since it’s a seizure, it will take a little longer. A year and a half isn’t that long, don’t you think?”

“B * stard, you b * stard –”

Other than this sentence, Zhan Kun had no 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.

Finally, he threw the handkerchief on Zhan Kun’s face.

Zhan Kun was angered by his action and 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 finish his words. He could only point at Zhan Haoze and gasp for breath.

Zhan Haoze wasn’t in the mood to admire his pathetic state anymore, so he turned around and left. He was about to go downstairs, but he unexpectedly saw Zhan Lie in the corridor outside.

Seeing the person who came, Zhan Haoze directly walked past him and was about to leave, but Zhan Lie insensibly blocked his way 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 was trying to do.

Zhan Haoze ignored him and walked past him. Zhan Lie looked at him and couldn’t help but say, “Zhan Haoze, no matter what, you’re a descendant of the Zhan family. You –”

“Mr. Zhan, please be careful.”

Zhan Haoze stood still and said that without turning his head, “Although my surname is Zhan, I’m not considered a descendant of the Zhan family.”

“I, I am you –”

Zhan Lie didn’t finish his sentence. Zhan Haoze turned around. He reached out and grabbed Zhan Lie’s front lapel.

“Mr. Zhan.” He used a lot of strength. The malicious expression on his face made people think that he was Satan from Hell. “What are you to me? Say it. Why don’t you say it?”

Zhan Lie shrunk his neck. Facing Zhan Haoze, who had such an intimidating expression, he didn’t dare to answer him.

“Mr. Zhan, if you want to live longer, it’s better you think about it 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 slightly pale. Zhan Haoze let go of his hand and took a step back.

He clapped his hands and his gaze was cold. “If you, Mr. Zhan, don’t know how to speak, I don’t mind sending you to see them in advance. What do you think?”

Zhan Lie’s imposing manner was suppressed by Zhan Haoze, and he didn’t dare to speak anymore.

Zhan Haoze felt that Zhan Lie was boring, so he turned around and left.

In the following 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 entertainment, real estate, and electronics. They were all involved in traditional industries.

One month wasn’t a short period of time, but the Zhan family had too many industries. With his current abilities, it was impossible for him to destroy Zhan family in one day. He could only destroy their businesses one by one, one by one.

Zhan Haoze had bought properties in Qing City a few years ago. He had bought the best location in Cherry Blossom Villa.

During this period of time, he had been living in Cherry Blossom Villa. On one hand, he was dealing with Zhan family, and on the other hand, he was preparing 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.

Simple yet imposing, Cherry Blossom Villa was completely renovated according to his preferences. Uncle Chi came in and took a few glances. Now that he saw Zhan Haoze, he took two steps forward and stood directly in front of him.

“Haoze.” Uncle Chi was older than Zhan Lie. He called Zhan Haoze’s name to show his friendliness, but unfortunately, he met Zhan Haoze.

“What’s the matter?”

Uncle Chi smiled bitterly in his heart. Zhan Haoze had suppressed some of the Zhan family’s businesses, and now, he was asking him about something?

“Haoze, the Zhan family is your family, so what you’re doing now is inappropriate, isn’t it?”

“Oh? What did I do?”

Zhan Haoze raised his eyebrows, as if he didn’t quite understand Uncle Chi’s meaning.

“I won’t repeat what you did.” From the beginning until now, many of the Zhan family’s businesses had been involved.

Although it wasn’t to the extent of shaking the foundation all of a sudden, the entire Zhan family was indeed in a state of panic.

Uncle Chi originally wanted to get someone to attack Zhan Haoze, but after these days, not only did he not attack, but he was also more reluctant to do so.

“Haoze, you made so much noise because you wanted to get the Zhan family. If that’s the case, why destroy the Zhan family?”
