Chapter 707: Do You Have A Conscience

Shi Mengwan took a step forward. “Dad?”

Seeing her like this, Father Shi felt even more uncomfortable. He couldn’t help but raise his voice. “Why? Can’t I talk to him? Go and help your mom cook. You, come with me.”

It was still too early to cook. Grandma Shi wasn’t around at the moment. It seemed that she had gone to second uncle and third uncle’s house to call for help.

Shi Mengwan was a little worried and couldn’t help but glance at Zhan Haoze.

Facing the fierce gaze of his future father-in-law, Zhan Haoze patted the back of Shi Mengwan’s hand in a placating manner and followed behind Father Shi.

Half an hour later, Zhan Haoze came back behind Father Shi.

The two of them seemed to be quite friendly. Shi Mengwan: this must be her illusion. Yes, it must be.

... ..

The experience of this day was quite to Zhan Haoze.

It was the first time he was put in a difficult position. It was the first time he was chased out of the house and the first time he was threatened. It was also the first time he was eating with such a large table of people.

He had a lot of business dealings, but not many people could sit in front of him.

There were four people in Shi Mengwan’s family, including Mother Shi, four people Mother Shi’s family, and five from Grandma Shi’s family. Shi Mengwan’s aunt was also called back by Grandma Shi.

There were two tables full of people. The table was set in the courtyard outside.

The food was cooked by Mother Shi herself, and the ingredients were all fresh. The chicken was raised from the back, and the vegetables were picked from the ground.

He drank the soju wine that Father Shi brewed using the rural method. It didn’t look good, but it was strong.

Although Shi Mengwan and Grandma Shi occasionally didn’t get along because of the matter of the succession, the two uncles and aunts weren’t bad.

The whole family was happy and harmonious. Although he occasionally felt restricted, this kind of atmosphere was very fresh to Zhan Haoze.

He inevitably became drunk. After getting drunk, he directly slept in Shi Mengwan’s room upstairs for a day.

In the end, when he woke up the next day, under Father Shi’s disdainful gaze, he was brought to the field.

During this season, there were many crops that were already ripe, such as beans, eggplant, and loofah. Father Shi asked him to help pick the crops.

Father Shi refused to let Shi Mengwan help. He said that this was a chance for Zhan Haoze to show off.

What could Zhan haoze say? Of course, he followed.

But before he finished picking the crops, Zhan Haoze received a call from Tang Hua. Something happened in Qing City.

After leaving the Shi family, Zhan Haoze drove quickly. He couldn’t go directly to the highway here, but he had to go to the county town. Before Zhan Haoze drove his car out of town, Tang Hua had already led a motorcade to wait for them at the entrance of the town.

Tang Hua had brought people, so Zhan Haoze naturally didn’t need to drive himself. He brought Shi Mengwan into the car.

Before getting into the car, Shi Mengwan saw Tang Hua and Zhan Haoze talking about something, but their voices were too soft, so she couldn’t hear clearly.

When she got into the car, Shi Mengwan saw the anxiety in his eyes. She was a little worried. “Did something happen to the company? Is it something urgent?”

“It’s fine. I can solve it.”

Zhan Haoze’s expression was very calm. Speaking of which, it really wasn’t a big deal. It was just Zhan Li, who had lost a hand, ran away.

Shi Mengwan looked at his expression and didn’t ask anymore. She had discovered very early on that whatever Zhan Haoze didn’t want her to know, no matter how much she asked, he wouldn’t tell.

The car smoothly and quickly got onto the highway. Shi Mengwan looked at the side of his face and thought of something else.

“Oh right, what did my dad say to you yesterday?”

“Nothing much.” Zhan Haoze thought of Father Shi’s “threat” to him. He said, ‘don’t be smug because you’re rich. Our family doesn’t want your money and doesn’t care. My daughter can earn money. Let me tell you, if you treat Wanwan badly, I won’t let you off the hook 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 both very good.”

Zhan Haoze’s voice seemed to be filled with emotion as he pulled Shi Mengwan into his arms. His chin pressed against her hair. historical

“Actually, I also had a good mother.” Originally, he had a good father. But —

“...”Shi Mengwan wanted to look up at him, but he just happened to hold the back of her head.

“Unfortunately, my mother didn’t live to see me grow up.”

“Your Mom, she...” She had heard that his mom 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 instinctively hugged him.

She looked up at him. “Sorry.”

“It’s okay, it’s all in the past.”

Zhan Haoze’s expression was calm, but only he knew that everything wasn’t in the past.

He tightened his arms around Shi Mengwan. Shi Mengwan’s arms were around his waist to silently comfort him.

Zhan Haoze’s heart was as hard as a knife. He didn’t need Shi Mengwan to comfort him, but her actions still made him extremely happy.

He reached out and sniffing the fragrance on her body, he patted her back. The trace of viciousness and murderous hatred in his heart was slightly suppressed.

Shi Mengwan was actually sleepy to the point of wanting to sleep after being patted by him. She unknowingly fell asleep.

She fell asleep, but Zhan Haoze couldn’t fall asleep. His mind was thinking about Zhan Li’s matter. 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 familiar with the Zhan family.

He suddenly pressed a button in the car. The window in the middle lowered. Tang Hua turned his face and asking him what was wrong with his eyes, he looked at Zhan Haoze.

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 who are 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.

Zhan Haoze asked the questions that he was concerned about and didn’t ask anymore.

When Shi Mengwan woke up, Zhan Haoze just happened to get the information that he wanted to know.

The old man had gone missing. Heh. A place like the sanatorium was guarded by layers of people, yet the old man still disappeared?

Zhan Haoze would never believe that there was no mole in this matter.

Shi Mengwan looked at the moving car and sat up to look at the time. “We’re not there yet?”

“We’re there. We’re going to the airport now.”

Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan and held her hand in his palm. “Wanwan, will you come back to Qing City with me?”

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 a professional person to take care of it for you. I’ve already found a place in Qing City. I’ll follow your current model and open a new studio. How’s that?”

Shi Mengwan didn’t expect him to act so quickly. “You’re already done?”

“Yes.” Zhan Haoze nodded. “I’ve found the place. It’s not far from my company in Qing City. Also, the location and decorative style are based on your current studio’s style. When we go to Qing City, you can go take a look for 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 take it as me being selfish. I want you to accompany me.”

“Okay.”

Shi Mengwan nodded. Zhan Haoze knew she would agree, but he didn’t expect her to agree so quickly. “Wanwan?”

“My job is the same no matter where I go anyway. I can work hard to start my own business in Lin City, so I believe I can do well in Qing City. Besides, I still have you. You’ll help me, right?”

“Yes.” Zhan Haoze nodded. “I will help you.”

Four hours later, Zhan Haoze and Shi Mengwan arrived at Cherry Blossom Manor.

“Take a rest. I have something to take care of. I probably won’t be able to have dinner with you tonight.”

“Okay.” Shi Mengwan wasn’t a teenage girl. She wouldn’t pester her boyfriend to accompany her every day. “If you have something to do, go do it first.”

“I’ll be a little busy these days. If you want to go to Rong City to see Mrs. Huo, I can arrange for someone to send you there.”

“Okay, I’ll think about when to go.” Last time, Su Qingsang was waiting for her to explain about Zhan Haoze. She hadn’t told her properly yet.

This time, she had a chance to explain to Su Qingsang properly.

Zhan Haoze was a little moved by the way she was so considerate not to quarrel with him. He lowered his head and kissed her lips until she was gasping for breath.

“Wait for me to come back.”

Zhan Haoze had finished his instructions. When he left Cherry Blossom Manor, he asked Tang Hua to double the number of guards here before he left. The destination was the Zhan family mansion.

The Zhan family mansion was at the foot of Green Mountain near the suburbs of Qing City. From the foot of the mountain, the whole area belonged to the Zhan family.

Besides the main building in the middle, there were two side buildings and an auxiliary building at the back. Zhan Kun was old and didn’t like to be disturbed by others. Therefore, even the Zhan family’s grandson, Zhan Lie, lived in the side building.

After Zhan Kun was sent to the sanatorium. In the side building lived Zhan Lie, Bi Shuqiao, and Zhan Li and Zhan Yang’s family.

Zhan Haoze was afraid that they would escape, so he asked people to guard them. Other than the cook and two cleaning maids, others couldn’t come in.

Usually, the person in charge of buying food was arranged by Zhan Haoze. Other people could go in, but Zhan Lie’s family couldn’t go out.

So now that Zhan Li disappeared out of the blue, it really made him suspicious.

After entering the door, he saw that Zhan Lie sat on the sofa. Zhan Yang had lost a leg, so naturally he couldn’t run away. Bi Shuqiao sat beside Zhan Yang. When she saw Zhan Haoze enter the door, she was like a cat whose fur had exploded, and started cursing again.

Zhan Haoze didn’t even look at her, and walked directly to Zhan Lie.

“Where is he?”

He was tall and big, and had no less than ten bodyguards behind him. More than ten people squeezed into the living room. Even if the Zhan family’s living room wasn’t small, it still looked very cramped.

Bi Shuqiao stood up quickly, and she pointed at Zhan Haoze’s nose. “Zhan Haoze, are you that vicious? Zhan Li is your younger brother, and you actually let someone break his hand. Breaking his hand is one thing, but you still want to lock us up. Let me tell you, do you think you can lock us up for life? Let me tell you, don’t even think about it.”

She cursed, and the words that followed began to sound more and more unpleasant.

Zhan Haoze walked past her and went straight to Zhan Lie. “Where is he?”

Zhan Lie, not daring to speak, sat on the sofa. 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 men holding a knife and aiming at Zhan Yang’s uncrippled leg.

“Zhan Haoze, what are you going to do?”

“Zhan Haoze, tell him to put down the knife. What are you going 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?” Staring at Zhan Lie’s face, Zhan Haoze stopped his hand for a moment.

“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 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 her body was held up by someone.

“I like to be polite before I attack.” Zhan Haoze looked like he was easy to talk to. “How did Zhan Li leave here? Where is Zhan Kun? If you don’t tell me, I can only continue.”

As he spoke, the knife that was stuck in Zhan Yang’s thigh was pulled out. Fresh blood gushed out, and Zhan Yang screamed even more miserably.

Zhan Lie stood up, and someone held him up from behind. He was unable to move, so he shouted at Zhan Haoze, “Zhan Haoze, do you have a conscience? He is 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 into Zhan Yang again. Zhan Yang was about to faint from the pain. Bi Shuqiao was furious and kept cursing, but she was afraid that Zhan Haoze would use even more ruthless methods later.

“Stop.” Zhan Lie was furious. “I am your father. You stop right now.”

Zhan Haoze raised his head, and the person holding Zhan Lie actually bent her knees.

“Ha.” Zhan Lie had been pampered all these years, so after he was unexpectedly treated like this, his face turned pale. “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 and without a trace of warmth. His eyes were filled with deep hatred. The way he looked at them was as if he was looking at dead people.

“If you don’t tell me where Zhan Kun is today, I can only continue to poke holes in your beloved little son. I just don’t know how long he can last.”

As he spoke, his subordinate pulled out his 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, as if she was going to kneel down to Zhan Haoze. She was getting more and more resentful, but her curses were much softer.

When Zhan Haoze’s men were about to stab Zhan Yang 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.”

When Zhan Haoze was about to ask his men to attack again, Zhan Lie hurriedly explained, “I really don’t know. Last time, Uncle Chi came to see us and said that he would think of a way. Then, the next day, Zhan Li was gone.”

Afraid that Zhan Haoze would attack again, Zhan Lie shrunk his neck. “I only know how 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 anymore. Everything was arranged by Uncle Chi. We only listened to him.”

Zhan Haoze asked his men to stop, and stared at Zhan Lie for a while. With a wave of his hand, he quickly left with the dozen bodyguards.

As for the injury on Zhan Yang’s Leg? It didn’t pierce his bones, so he believed that he wouldn’t die.

For the next two days, Zhan Haoze was looking for Zhan Kun and Zhan Li. Zhan Li was nothing to be afraid of. But Zhan Kun... He had controlled the Zhan family for so many years, and his methods were first-rate. He was gloomy and ruthless.

So he didn’t give him a chance. Now that he had a chance, he was afraid that he wouldn’t just let it go. He didn’t know what Zhan Kun was going to do.

No matter what he did, Zhan Haoze wasn’t afraid. He was already prepared. Naturally, he wouldn’it 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 Cherry Blossom Manor, Shi Mengwan was already asleep. He had been busy looking for Zhan Kun’s whereabouts for the past few days and had neglected her a lot.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Zhan Haoze’s movements were very light, but he still woke Shi Mengwan up.

“Dear Brother?” In a daze, Shi Mengwan 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 come back? 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 fine. I haven’t been idle either.”

In the Cherry Blossom Manor, there was a complete set of drawing tools that Zhan Haoze had sent over. There was a work desk, a computer, everything. She had things to do these few days.

Her wedding with Zhan Haoze was something that would happen sooner or later. She had her own ideas about her own wedding. Not only did she have her own ideas, she also had her own requirements for the wedding dress.

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 work for the next two days.” 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 still bring them up.”

“Okay.” Shi Mengwan wanted to go when she heard him say it, but Zhan Haoze had been busy, so she didn’t bring it up.

“En, then sleep early. We’ll go to the studio tomorrow.”

Zhan Haoze didn’t touch Shi Mengwan. Instead, he kissed her forehead and told her to sleep.

He couldn’t find Zhan Kun at the moment, but he wasn’t in a hurry. Zhan Haoze woke up the next morning and wanted to bring Shi Mengwan to the studio that he had arranged for her.

However, before he went out, he received the news from Tang Hua. There was news from 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 and do it. Don’t bother about me.”

“Wanwan.”

“It’s fine. Just ask someone to accompany me.”

Zhan Haoze frowned and looked at Shi Mengwan’s bright smile. He couldn’t bear to let her stay in the manor forever. He arranged for people to follow Shi Mengwan. After confirming the route repeatedly, he then brought people to the place where Zhan Kun appeared.
