To My Dear Mr. Huo

Zhan Haoze woke up from his dream, and the gunshots from that time seemed to still linger in his ears. He had a headache and rubbed his forehead, but he couldn't suppress the headache.

Ever since he returned to Qingcheng, he couldn't control the nightmare that day. Dreams were coming one after another, and even if he wanted to resist, it was useless.

He stood up and looked at the gloomy night outside. He took out his phone, unlocked it, looked at Shi Mengwan's phone number on it, and didn't pull it out.

At dawn, he got up early and went to the gym downstairs to exercise. He always gets up early. I have the habit of morning exercise every day.

Not only morning exercises, but also boxing. The guards at Sakura Manor are quite good. And this villa has three floors inside and three floors outside, and he has arranged a lot of people overtly and covertly.

After coming out of the gym, the people below have prepared breakfast. While eating breakfast, I read the financial news.

As soon as he put down the bowl in his hand, Tang Hua walked in with a rare serious look on his face: Boss, something happened to the sixth child.

Zhan Haoze looked at Tang Hua with a sinister expression: What's going on? Tell me clearly.

Last time you asked Lao Liu to keep an eye on the club under the Zhan family's name, he seemed to have found a breakthrough. The day before yesterday, he told me that he wanted to go in and have a look. But until today, I haven't heard from him.

Tang Hua looked a little anxious. They were a group of people who had been together since childhood and knew all about their character.

Boss, Sixth is not that ignorant person. If nothing happens to him, no matter what, there will definitely be news. Now he has had no news for a whole day, I am afraid that-

Tang Hua didn't say the four words bad luck, but he believed Zhan Haoze would understand.

Zhan Haoze was silent, thinking about Uncle Chi's last words and the fatwa. His expression was serious.

Have you looked for it?

He knew the club Tang Hua was talking about. Lao Liu had said before that he wanted to check it out. He knew it was not easy and tried to stop Lao Liu, but he failed.

I've looked for it, but there's no news yet.

Zhan Haoze's expression was solemn. He sat there with his eyebrows tightly knitted.

Zhanjia can't solve it in one day. Over such a long period of time, he has slowly laid out the plan and slowly closed the network. Ever since he planned to face Zhan Jia, he knew that this would be a road full of thorns.

No matter how you say it, the Zhan family has accumulated wealth over the years and cannot be brought down overnight. He has this knowledge.

But this understanding does not include sacrificing the lives of those he regards as close friends.

Let Lao Qi take the people, find a way to find out where Lao Liu is, and bring him back.

But - Tang Hua looked hesitant to speak. He didn't say anything else, and Zhan Haoze also understood what he meant.

If Lao Qi had brought someone along but Lao Liu had not been brought out, he might have gotten himself in instead.

If so, that's really not a good thing.

Zhan Haoze also realized that it was inappropriate for Lao Qi to find someone. Perhaps, he should look for a breakthrough directly from Zhanjia.

The phone rang again at this time. The person on the other end of the phone is Uncle Chi.

I think we can meet now.

I don't see any need to meet. Zhan Haoze has very poor sense of Uncle Chi.

Really? Uncle Chi smiled, said a name, and then asked, Are you sure you don't want to see me?

Zhan Haoze's face turned ugly. He squeezed the phone in his palm tightly and resisted throwing it away.

Two hours later, Zhan Haoze met Uncle Chi in the office of Qingcheng Company.

Uncle Chi looked much prouder than last time.

Zhan Haoze's face was expressionless. Even if he was in a weak position, he would not admit defeat in front of the Zhan family.

Uncle Chi was not in a hurry to speak. He slowly took out a few photos from his pocket and placed them on Zhan Haoze's desk.

In the photo, a man who looked to be in his late thirties was tied to a chair. The man was obviously injured and seemed to have been beaten.

No matter how calm Zhan Haoze was, his expression still changed slightly when he saw Lao Liu like this.

But he quickly calmed down. He looked at Uncle Chi coldly, his eyes slightly narrowed, sinister and dangerous.

Uncle Chi was not annoyed when he stared at him like this. He chuckled and said, How about we negotiate terms now?

Zhan Haoze frowned, his expression was cold.

I don't think there are any terms to be negotiated between us.

Why do you have to say that? I don't believe you don't know what the situation is now.

Zhan Haoze didn't answer his words. Uncle Chi leaned forward slightly: I can tell you that you can't eat this piece of Zhan family pie in one go. But if you are willing to take a step back, you can get it. Why? Why don’t we take a step back so that we can all be happy?”

If possible, Uncle Chi really doesn't want to beg a junior like this.

But he had no choice. Zhan Yi and Zhan Li Zhanyang, since the last time, instead of uniting as one, have become more and more troublesome.

Zhan Lie has good abilities, but Zhan's family has a big business. He has not shouldered all the burden before, and he has been unable to make decisions on many things. He looks forward and backward when doing things, which is really not what Zhan Kun did back then.

If Uncle Chi really couldn't find anyone, he wouldn't have given up his old face and come here to seek help from Haoze.

Zhan Haoze raised the corners of his lips: Take a step back? How to step back?

How about you take over the Zhanjia and make the Zhanjia yours?

Are you sure you can make the decision? Zhan Kun is not dead yet.

He really called Zhan Kun by his name, his expression full of ridicule and without any respect. Uncle Chi wasn't angry either.

I don't believe you don't know what the old man's situation is now. So now I can make the decision.

Uncle Chi has been with Zhan Kun for more than thirty years. He has absolute authority in the Zhan family. He also has confidence that as long as he is around, those people will not make any trouble.

Zhan Haoze was silent. He did not answer Uncle Chi's words. Uncle Chi was not in a hurry. He was extremely patient today and was just waiting for Zhan Haoze to compromise.

Tang Hua, who was standing next to Zhan Haoze, looked at him with a confused look on his face, moved his lips, and stopped when he wanted to say something.

As if aware of his subordinate's thoughts, Zhan Haoze picked up the stack of photos. Seeing the complacency and determination on Uncle Chi's face, he tore off the photos one by one.

I reject.

you--

Uncle Chi, who didn't expect such an answer at all, was stunned on the spot. He was stunned for nearly a minute. When Zhan Haoze asked Tang Hua to drive people away, he suddenly put his hands on the desk.

Zhan Haoze, are you sure?

Nothing is uncertain.

Lao Liu's life is not in danger for the time being. Uncle Chi was afraid that he would take extreme measures and did not dare to hurt Lao Liu for the time being. And he was confident that he could bring Lao Liu out.

Don't you want Lu Tao's life? Lu Tao was referring to Lao Liu.

It's just a subordinate, but if you dare to hurt him, I will repay the Zhan family tenfold or a hundredfold. Zhan Haoze is not afraid of Uncle Chi's threat: You can give it a try.

Really? Uncle Chi sneered and took out a few more photos from his pocket: Well, you are awesome. You don't care about Lu Tao's life, so you don't care about hers either?

This time, what was placed on the desk was a photo of Shi Mengwan.

The top one is a solo photo of Shi Mengwan, while the second photo shows Zhan Haoze and Shi Mengwan dancing together on the dance floor when they were in France.

Zhan Haoze's eyes became sinister and dangerous, and he almost couldn't help but stand up, but he quickly sat down again.

If you dare to touch a hair of hers, believe it or not, I will let you taste what it's like to live but not die.

Don't get excited. Uncle Chi didn't care about his threat at all: If you get so excited, we won't be able to calm down later, don't you think so?

Zhan Haoze knew that he had just lost control. He should act more calm.

He felt very uncomfortable having such a weakness in someone's hands.

What exactly do you want to do?

Uncle Chi smiled: Stop all your revenge, go back to Zhan's house, and support the overall situation.

Zhan Haoze's face looked quite ugly. Uncle Chi is not in a hurry. He has been with Zhan Kun for thirty years, step by step, and now controls the wind and rain in the Zhan family. He is not a vegetarian.

What if I say no?

I think you have no choice. Uncle Chi didn't mind explaining the facts: Yes, you can refuse, but the lives of Mr. Lu and Miss Shi are not guaranteed by me.

Looking at Zhan Haoze's gloomy face, Uncle Chi chuckled: Of course, you can also tie me up now and use me as an old guy to exchange hostages with the Zhan family. However, I am so old, I am really dead. It’s nothing to regret. It’s really worth having the two of them buried with me. Don’t you think so?”

Zhan Haoze stared at Uncle Chi's face. He did not restrain his momentum at all. That coercion made even an old man like Uncle Chi feel a little trembling.

But the more Zhan Haoze behaves like this, the more Uncle Chi becomes determined to let him return to the Zhan family.

Only such people can support the Zhan family.

The atmosphere in the office is quite silent. Zhan Haoze sat there without moving. Tang Hua behind him completely obeyed him and naturally would not disturb him at this time.

He didn't speak, and Uncle Chi wasn't in a hurry. He didn't expect Zhan Haoze to agree immediately, but he was betting.

After all, he is the child of Zhan Lie and Qiao Ruoliu. Zhan Haoze looks like Zhan Kun, but not like him. The methods are similar, but psychologically, I'm afraid there is still a soft spot.

And this soft spot is enough for Uncle Chi to take advantage of.

Ten minutes later, Zhan Haoze finally spoke: Okay, I agree. But I have a few conditions.

you say.

First of all, the old man is getting older. Since his health is not good, he shouldn't go out to play all the time and just take a good rest.

This was to isolate Zhan Kun. Uncle Chi hesitated and finally nodded. Anyway, he is also Zhan Kun’s spokesperson now.

Zhan Kun will do what Zhan Kun orders. As long as he stares, no one will make trouble in front of Zhan Kun.

Can.

Second, I will take over the Zhan Family. I don't want to see other Zhan Family members.

This is a bit overwhelming. After all, they are performing their own duties now. For the time being, they will not hinder you in any way.

If you don't agree, there's no need to talk. I'm that person's grandson. If you piss me off, it'll be a dead end.

Okay. I agree.

Anyway, those idiots are of little use staying in Zhan's house. It doesn't matter if you stay or not.

Third, let my people go. Also, you have to promise that you will never touch my people. You are not allowed to hurt them.

No problem. Since you are willing to take over the Zhan family, you are my master. Not only will I have people cancel the fatwa against you, but I will also have people protect the people you care about.

Protect? What does this protection mean? Zhan Haoze knows it all too well.

He looked at Uncle Chi coldly: Give me a week, I will arrange things, and I will join the company.

Okay. I'll wait for you for a week.

Uncle Chi, who received a positive answer, was particularly easy to talk to: If you feel that one week is not enough, you can have more time.

Uncle Chi left, and Zhan Haoze sat on a chair and rubbed his brows. Tang Hua said worriedly: Boss?

Zhan Haoze didn't look at him. He half-closed his eyes and said in a very soft voice: Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.

………………

Shi Mengwan's life returned to peace. After that day, Zhan Haoze never came to see her again.

In a flash, more than a month has passed. Su Qingsang's belly is already big. She wanted to fly to Rongcheng to see her several times, but there were too many things on her hands.

The studio hired two new people and slowly got started, but many clothes were requested to be mass-produced on Weibo.

I've always done private customization, so of course there's nothing wrong with it. But there is still a little bit of meaning left.

If you want to grow bigger, you need mass production. Shi Mengwan understands this truth.

In the following time, she visited several factories and several raw material manufacturers. She was too busy to take care of her own affairs.

Shi's mother probably guessed something. Since the last blind date was ruined, she never mentioned the blind date again.

In this way, Shi Mengwan felt much calmer. I finished my last trip to the foundry today. It was already very late when we returned to the city.

Although this section of road has been repaired, there are not many vehicles.

Shi Mengwan was driving halfway, and she didn't know whether there was a stone or something else, but the car bumped. Shi Mengwan reacted quickly and tightened her grip on the steering wheel.

After finally stabilizing the car, I was thinking about continuing to drive. But he found that the car seemed to have broken down or something, and it didn't move.

After she failed to start the car several times, she quickly got out of the car to see what went wrong. If it didn't work, she would have to call a tow truck.

Shi Mengwan got out of the car and opened the front hood. She didn't understand much about the car's problem, and she just wanted to see how to solve it.

It was getting late and she was alone in this place with no village or shop. Thinking about it, she was really scared.

After raising the front hood, she checked it with the light of her mobile phone. With her level of skill, she couldn't find anything wrong with her car.

After checking for a long time, Shi Mengwan couldn't tell that she was thinking of calling a tow truck when a voice sounded behind her.

Miss, the car is broken down. Do you want me to help you take a look?

Shi Mengwan was startled by the sudden sound. She turned around and saw a few young people who looked to be in their early twenties gathered behind her.

The person who spoke was the leader, a man wearing a black jacket. He shook his head as if he thought he was handsome.

Miss, come here, let me check you out.

Shi Mengwan swallowed, the situation in front of her didn't seem good: No, I've already called a tow truck.

She held her cell phone and wanted to call the police without leaving any trace. The leading man snatched her cell phone away at this moment.

Miss, don't be so ungrateful. Our brothers have good intentions no matter what.

While speaking, he waved his hand back: Come on, you guys, give this beautiful lady a good check-up.

Under the night, Shi Mengwan's face looked pale. She forced herself to calm down and stretched out her hand to the man: Give me your phone back. I don't need you to check it.

Miss, maybe you will need it after you stay for a while?

The black jacket smiled evilly. The few people he brought were already approaching Shi Mengwan.

Shi Mengwan was really frightened now. She was alone, but there were six of them.

Pressing her body tightly against the front hood of the car, she was still thinking about how to escape. Suddenly there was the sound of a car behind me.

She turned her face, and the light from the car happened to shine on her face, causing her to squint her eyes for a moment.

The men in black jackets were in no hurry to move at this moment, thinking that they would wait until the other party left before continuing.

Little did they know that the car stopped beside them. At this time, the black jacket became clear. The other party is not a car. It's five cars.

Two Bentleys in the front and two Bentleys in the back. The one open in the middle is a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Even people with little common sense were startled when they saw this row of luxury cars. Not to mention gangsters like Huang Mao and the others.

Shi Mengwan could see clearly now. She saw many tall men in black suits getting out of the vehicles in front and behind.

Someone opened the back door of the Rolls-Royce, and the first person to get out was a pair of extremely slender and powerful legs.

In the light and shadow of the car lights, the owner of the legs walked towards Shi Mengwan step by step.

Shi Mengwan swallowed her saliva, but before she could react, the owner of the leg had already walked in front of her.

Those young people were so frightened that they dared not speak. Zhan Haoze looked at Shi Mengwan and stretched out his hand to her.

Shi Mengwan didn't know what she was thinking of, but she accidentally moved her hand away and pulled it back.

Not only that, she also took a step to the side. She forgot that there was someone next to her, so when she stood like this, she bumped into the gangster standing next to her.

Shi Mengwan was too late to avoid it this time. She lost her balance and fell to one side.

Zhan Haoze's hand held her waist in time, and the next second, she was hugged by her.

Pressing her head into his chest, Zhan Haoze gave the leading man in black a look.

The man understood. The black jacket realized that something was wrong and it was too late to escape. Soon, there were bursts of wailing and fighting behind Zhan Haoze and the others.

Shi Mengwan wanted to stick her head out to take a look, but Zhan Haoze had already carried her into the car.

Shi Mengwan and Zhan Haoze haven't seen each other for almost two months. Sitting in the car, she had no time to look outside. She just looked at Zhan Haoze, and she sensitively discovered that there seemed to be something different about Zhan Haoze in front of her.

She didn't have time to think about what was different about Zhan Haoze. He had already taken her body over again and held her in his arms.

One update, five thousand words. Sorry, I had to add an update today. Really, look at my sincere eyes, but plans can’t keep up with changes. My sister-in-law's boyfriend is here. It's like looking at others. Then talk about the engagement. As a result, I broke my promise again. embarrassed. Recently, a lot of people have commented on my updates. To be honest, although Yue Ma is a bit lazy this year, except for special circumstances, she usually updates 6,000 words. On rare occasions, she writes one or two thousand words less, and she will make up for it in time afterwards. In fact, the website's requirement for updates is only 4,000 words, so in other words, I am adding updates almost every day. This is number one. Second, writing is not about eating. It’s OK to be full. This episode was a bit painful for me to write. why? Because Shi Mengwan is really not a heroine that I am good at. In terms of relationships, she is too submissive and too emotional. Even so, I don't want to change it. After all, people have thousands of faces. To name a few. So, just make do with it. Anyway, the word count is not long, so it will probably be finished soon. Well, just Jiang Zi. I continue to work hard on writing updates. Then, tomorrow will start to be sweet. Really, look at my sincere eyes.
