When we reached the tarmac in the blink of an eye, there was only one private jet parked on the huge lawn, with the China Star Enterprise logo printed on the fuselage.

The two were about to board the plane when a black car hit them in the middle. It was so powerful that the security guard next to them forgot to intercept them.

The car looked familiar, and so did the approaching atmosphere. When the car stopped not far from Anxiang and the man stepped out of it in a hurry, she finally understood where the strange feeling came from.

The spring breeze blows gently.

The person at the end of the line of sight was wearing a light off-white windbreaker. His eyes passed through the crowd and fell directly on An Xiang. After a moment, An Yanze strode closer.

An Xiang felt a thump in her heart and took a step back unconsciously.

That small step made An Yanze's eyes dim. He quickly regained his composure and looked at Pei Yizhou with a half-smile: "What Director Pei did was not kind enough."

Others may not be able to see it, but Pei Yizhou could tell at a glance the smell of blood on An Yanze's body. He killed someone, was stained with blood, and seized power. Now he is sealing An Xiang's memory and trying to take it for himself, and his plans are ringing.

"Think about it, come here."

An didn't move, frowning and looking at him in confusion.

An Yanze particularly disliked the look in her eyes, which was full of caution, as if she were treating a stranger.

"Pei Yizhou, I know your wife's death makes you very sad, but think about it, you won't be anyone's substitute."

These words made An Xiang look confused.

"substitute?"

An Yanze whispered: "Didn't Mr. Pei tell you? You left with a stranger without knowing anything?"

Facing the question, An Xiang lowered his head and was unable to say anything to refute.

She and Pei Yizhou have only known each other for two days, and they are indeed strangers. She also knows that girls should not leave casually with a man they just met, but for some reason, she trusts Pei Yizhou for no reason, even though she does not know the details of this man's net worth.

She didn't understand anything, but she just believed that he wouldn't hurt her, so she went to Jiangcheng with her openly.

Of course, these words cannot be said to An Yanze.

"What do you mean by substitute?" She chose to focus on another point.

An Yanze became more sarcastic: "You and Mr. Pei's wife are very similar. Coincidentally, they even have the same name. Mr. Pei's wife died of illness six months ago, and now I am taking you back. Why do you think it is?"

The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.

At this time, the flight attendant suddenly came out and said: "Sir, we are ready to take off."

Pei Yizhou waved back and stared at An Yanze with calm eyes. There was no anger or panic, only indifference flowing in his eyes.

"What about you?" He said in a low voice, "I want to go back with An, but what next."

An Yanze's smile faded and his brows furrowed slightly.

An Xiang only now remembered what she heard in the villa that day, and her expression suddenly became ugly.

She took a deep breath and walked up to An Yanze and said, "Brother Ze, let's talk."

The girl raised her head and looked at him for the first time, her eyes firmer than ever before. Such eyes made An Yanze panic. He desperately suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, nodded, and followed An Yanze to walk away from the crowd.

Pei Yizhou did not follow them, but just watched them quietly.

After making sure that no one heard their conversation, An wanted to stop and said, "Brother Ze..."

Before she finished speaking, An Yanze suddenly interrupted her: "Think about it, An Heyuan only has one month to live."

This sentence made An Xiang stunned for a moment, and then he thought that he might have done something.

An Xiang didn't have any feelings for those parents. Even when he heard that his father was about to die, he didn't feel any pity. He was so calm that he felt surprised.

"An Ruoming and the others have been sent abroad by me a long time ago. They will not dare to come back without my order. Tai Lanyi and Baozhu will leave soon. They will not dare to hurt you again, let alone disturb your life."

When Tai Lanyi and An Baozhu saw An Heyuan's tragic situation, they signed the equity transfer agreement without a moment's hesitation, took their luggage and left Jiangcheng. An Yanze didn't know whether the mother and daughter who were born in Jinwo could be outside.

He doesn't care if he lives.

An Yanze originally wanted to keep them alive and torture them slowly, but in the end he just wanted to quickly solve the problem and bring An back. Especially when he learned that An wanted to be taken away by Pei Yizhou, his feeling became even stronger.

"Think about it." An Yanze grabbed An Xiang's hand, his eyes blazing, "The An family will be in my hands soon. You stay with me, and I will protect you. No one dares to bully you."

His fingers were so strong that An's fingertips hurt when he clenched them.

There was madness in his eyes that An Xiang had never seen before, burning like fire.

An Xiang pursed her lips tightly, and her clear eyes flickered for a moment.

"Tai Lanyi said that you took me out when I was a child, causing me to have a fever, illness and a bad throat."

The girl's calm voice was like a thunderbolt, striking An Yanze's Tianling Cap, leaving him in a daze for a moment, and his grip on her relaxed a lot.

"I..." An Yanze opened his mouth, his tone trembling, "I had just lost my younger brother and my only relative at that time. You also know... they were all killed by your father."

"Um."

It is not a secret that An Heyuan killed his own brothers. Everyone in the blood clan knows that An Yanze was raised by that family and came to live in Anzhai after their deaths.

An Xiang raised her drooping eyelashes and said, "You took me out to get revenge on them, right?"

An Yanze did not deny it and nodded.

At that time, not long after An Xiang was born, she was born with a weak constitution, and the doctor concluded that she might not live long. The An family cherished pure blood, and they could not give up even if An Xiang was like this, so An Heyuan and Tai Lanyi still treated her.

Very painstakingly.

The young An Yanze was filled with hatred. He looked at the infant An Xiang and suddenly thought of his mixed-race brother who died in the sea of ​​​​fire. An Yanze was so distraught that he carried An Xiang to the ice and snow when no one was paying attention.

inside.

He wanted to freeze her to death and let the parents experience the pain of losing their child.

However.

He relented.

She was so young and she cried all the time, so heartbreakingly that she could no longer make a sound.

An Yanze staggered back to the main house with her in his arms and put her back in her original position. However, the damage had been done, and An Xiang was already weak. Even if he saved a life, he was destined not to become a powerful vampire.

An Heyuan was greatly disappointed and dismissed her casually.

An Xiang grew up in that house as a mute. Except for An Heyuan, who had seen the surveillance, no one knew that she had been taken out. Naturally, An Heyuan would not blame a useless child for having the ability to help him survive.

An Yanze even claimed An Xiang was born mute in order to protect An Yanze.

An Yanze does feel guilty. Seeing her grow up day by day, the guilt almost consumes her soul.

He knew that An Heyuan and the others hated An Xiang, so they didn't dare to help her openly or make An Heyuan suspicious. They could only hide their capabilities and bide their time, contact An Xiang secretly, and try to make her life less miserable.

Now that they have all survived, he can honor his promise with dignity.

"Brother Ze, I don't need anyone to protect me anymore." An wanted to take her hand out, "If you are really guilty, you should give me my ID card and household registration."

"Think about it..."

"Instead of having my name continue to be associated with the people who have hurt me."

An Yanze's face turned pale and he asked in a hoarse voice: "An Xiang, am I also the one who hurt you?"

An Xiang is not the Virgin, she is just an ordinary girl. She will definitely feel guilty when she learns the truth, but she cannot forget the kindness of An Yanze at all.

He told her stories and made her laugh, and his tenderness occupied her entire childhood.

"You are my brother." An Xiang sniffed her sore nose, "If you don't want to be my brother, then we will be strangers."

There will be no second choice between them.

An Yanze took two steps back, and all his emotions suddenly converged, leaving only the bitingly sharp coldness.

He looked at Pei Yizhou, "So you want to go with him?"

An Xiang nodded slowly.

An Yanze laughed at himself and walked away, leaving nothing behind.

——He made a choice.
