Yes, Jiang Lan was blocked because of the intolerance of Xiao Zichen and his wife. Before coming, she had investigated everything. The outside world had always thought that the child was their biological child. This shows how much Xiao Zichen and his wife protected this child. And these are
Jiang Lan’s bargaining chip.
If Jiang Lan hadn't been a woman, Xiao Zichen would definitely not be still sitting at this moment. He tried his best to control his emotions and asked in a low voice.
"Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"It's easy to say that after so many years, I have almost used the inheritance left by that dead girl. No, I can only rely on my grandson. Of course, if Mr. Xiao doesn't want me to disturb your peaceful life, I will
You can help my grandson with the pension money."
Sure enough, a person who had known about exploiting his daughter suddenly came to his door. What kind of intentions could he have? But problems that could be solved with money were not a problem for Xiao Zichen. He took out a stack of blank checks and asked
.
"How much do you want?"
"Don't worry, I'm not greedy. I'm in my seventies and I won't live for a few more years. Give me 10 million first. If you run out, I'll come back."
Hearing this, Xiao Zichen's eyes suddenly flashed with an obscure glint, and he directly wrote five million on the check and threw it in front of Jiang Lan.
"Old lady, I advise you not to be too greedy. There are five million here, which is enough for you to spend. Take this money and leave immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Having said this, Xiao Zichen stood up from the sofa and snorted coldly when he saw Jiang Lan looking at the check with disgust.
"Jiang Lan, I, Xiao Zichen, have always been fair and law-abiding, but in order to protect this family, I don't mind getting some blood on my hands. If you are sensible, take this check and disappear immediately. Otherwise, I have thousands of ways to make you disappear.
.”
Xiao Zichen has been a soldier all his life, how can he be manipulated by a greedy old woman, let alone a selfish person.
When Jiang Lan heard this, her face changed suddenly. She did not doubt Xiao Zichen's words. After all, in Luo City, although Xiao Zichen could not cover the sky with one hand, it was not difficult to make a person disappear without anyone noticing.
.
Jiang Lan has lived to this age, and since she still wants to make a fortune, it means that she wants to enjoy it for a few more years. Such a person cherishes his life the most.
No, Jiang Lan immediately took the five million and left the office in a hurry, but when she walked out, Xiao Zichen warned.
"Jiang Lan, remember what I said today, if you dare to appear in front of him, I will make you regret it."
Jiang Lan shuddered slightly, she didn't expect that this man would still be as ruthless as before after not seeing him for twenty years.
Not long after Jiang Lan left, Xiao Zichen called Liu Mingyu to the office.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the old guy and don't let her get close to Yingze."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
With that said, Liu Mingyu was about to go out when Xiao Zichen called him again.
"Don't tell Yurou what happened today. She hasn't been in good health recently. Don't let her be irritated."
"Okay, I'll go out first."
After saying that, Liu Mingyu left the office.
The moment the door closed, a long sigh came from the office. Xiao Zichen leaned on the chair with a dejected look, looking very tired.
Jiang Lan was honest. After leaving Yaoyuan Group, she returned to the hotel and hurriedly packed her luggage before heading to the airport.
When he was about to get off work in the evening, Xiao Zichen finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news that Jiang Lan had left Luo City.
One day at the end of September, at nine o'clock in the morning at the Busson Research Center in the United Kingdom, Gessen was holding a box of medicine and several unused syringes and was about to take a blood test for Masnian. As soon as he opened the door and entered, he saw
Masnian on the hospital bed actually opened his eyes, and Gessen immediately ran over excitedly.
"you're awake?"
Seeing Masnian lying on the hospital bed unable to move, Gessen's voice was very excited.
Masnian blinked. He had been awake for a while, but his hands were weak and he wanted to call someone. As soon as he opened his mouth, there was dry tearing in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound at all.
Masnian opened his mouth and was about to speak, but only a hoarse sound like a crow came out of his throat. Seeing this, Gessen immediately interrupted.
"Don't talk yet. You are even weaker this time than last time, but just wake up. I will ask you a few questions now. You only need to nod and shake your head to answer. For the rest, we will talk after you have rested.
,Could you understand me?"
After Gessen finished speaking, Masnian nodded laboriously.
"Besides the discomfort in your throat and the inability to move your hands and feet, is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable?"
Masnian shook his head again, and Gessen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Si Nian, I'm glad you can wake up. We succeeded in the last operation. The reason why you slept for so long was because of the side effects of the sleeping aids and sedatives that were injected into your body before. But now you wake up.
, that means everything is fine, and all that’s left is rehabilitation training.”
Hearing this, Masnian on the hospital bed was obviously relieved, and a glimmer of light flashed in his dim eyes.
Gessen leaned over and patted Masnian on the shoulder and said.
"You just woke up, take a rest first, and then I will arrange rehabilitation training for you. I believe it won't be long before you can fully recover."
With that said, Gessen did a simple examination for Masnian as usual. Seeing that Masnian looked pale, he did not disturb him. But when Gessen was about to leave, Masnian grabbed his clothes.
Gessen turned around and saw Masnian opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something, so Gessen spoke first.
"Your brother calls you every now and then to ask about your situation. I will tell him the news of your waking up later. Your father also visited you before. I believe they will be very happy when they know you woke up."
But as soon as Gessen finished speaking, he saw Masnian struggling to raise his skinny hand and wave it.
Seeing this, Gessen frowned slightly and asked.
"You don't want them to know."
Masnian nodded and almost struggled to spit out a few words.
"I...want...to tell...him...them personally..."
"Okay, I understand. Stop talking and drink some water. Then you can inform them yourself."
With that said, Gessen patted Masnian on the shoulder again and encouraged him.
"Come on, and I wish you can overcome everything."
"Thanks!"
Masnian spent a lot of effort to spit out these two words.
Three days later, Xiao Zichen and Xiao Yingze received calls from Masnian one after another. When they heard Jiu Wei's voice, Xiao Zichen's nose felt sore and his voice became harder to swallow.
This child, who had never caused the couple any worries since childhood, made such a big joke with them for the first time. Fortunately, after the joke, everything turned out well.
Xiao Yingze was even more excited. After hanging up the phone, he booked a flight to the UK and hurried back to the apartment.
"Yuyou, I'm going to England in the afternoon. I've promised to meet your parents tomorrow. Can you please take a moment?"
Not long after returning to the apartment, Xiao Yingze called Lu Ziyou who was at work.
After Lu Ziyou heard this, he was slightly startled. Hearing this tone, he felt a little anxious. Lu Ziyou thought something had happened, so he asked.
"Why is it so sudden? Did something happen?"
"No, don't be nervous. If you have time later, I'll pick you up and have lunch with you. I'll explain it to you then."
"Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yingze hurriedly packed a few clothes and left the apartment.
"What's going on? I never heard you say you were going to England before?"
As soon as they met, Lu Ziyou asked anxiously.
Xiao Yingze helped Lu Ziyou open the door, and the two of them got in the car and left the publishing house.
"Don't be impatient. We'll talk about it later during dinner."
Although Lu Ziyou was anxious, she didn't want Xiao Yingze to be distracted, so she sat quietly. When they arrived at the eating place, Xiao Yingze finally opened his mouth after ordering.
"My brother is still alive."
"Oh...wait...what did you say? Your brother? Are you referring to Si Nian?"
Lu Ziyou didn't react at first, but then a trace of surprise flashed across his face, and then he stared at Xiao Yingze in disbelief.
Xiao Yingze nodded, and just as he was about to explain, Lu Ziyou couldn't wait to speak.
"So, the car accident was fake, but it's wrong. Why did you do this? You didn't do it to get Luoluo to let go of Brother Si Nian. This is too cruel."
As expected of someone who is engaged in literary publishing, my mind is indeed quite big, and I have already sketched out various plots in my mind.
Seeing Lu Ziyou making random guesses, Xiao Yingze held Lu Ziyou's hand and said.
"Don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."
Lu Ziyou finally calmed down, nodded and looked at Xiao Yingze.
"Actually, we were all deceived by my brother at the beginning. Do you still remember that time when Ou Qianyi came to see me during the Chinese New Year? There are some things I didn't tell you later. That car accident was deliberately arranged by my brother."
When Xiao Yingze said this, Lu Ziyou suddenly remembered what Ou Qianyi said to them that time, and she immediately guessed what was going on.
"So, because the boss was sick and didn't want to drag everyone down, he caused the car accident to make us think he was gone, right?"
Xiao Yingze nodded and explained.
"That's right, do you remember that time I went to see Shu Yang? That disease was a rare genetic mutation, the only one in the world. At that time, my eldest brother was receiving a new drug treatment in the UK. He was worried about failure, so he made it in advance.
Later, Shu Yang and I discovered some clues and found my eldest brother. However, his treatment failed that time. Four months ago, he underwent another operation. The operation was successful, but he fell into
He was lethargic, but a few days ago, my brother woke up."
When Lu Ziyou heard this, her face was alternately shocked and surprised. All of this seemed like she was listening to a story. She had never thought that such a plot existed in the real world.
After calming down, Lu Ziyou asked with concern.
"So, Brother Snian is completely recovered now?"
Xiao Yingze nodded very firmly this time, and the big stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time was finally gone.
"But my eldest brother has slept for too long and will need a long period of rehabilitation training. I mainly went there to see him and will be back after two days, so I can only postpone the appointment I made with you.
.”
Xiao Yingze planned to visit Lu Ziyou's parents tomorrow. Since the two have established a relationship, he wanted to make their relationship public as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Lu Ziyou understood Xiao Yingze's mood very well, nodded without hesitation and said.
"It's okay. Brother Snian's matter is important. By the way, Luo Luo, aren't you going to tell her?"
Since she didn't know about this, Xiao Yingxi must have been hiding it, so Lu Ziyou asked curiously.
Xiao Yingze shook his head and said.
"Brother wants to come back and make it clear to Luoluo himself. I believe their good days are coming soon."
During the phone call with Mas Nian, Xiao Yingze vaguely understood Mas Nian's thoughts. As a family member and a brother, he certainly hoped that Mas Nian and Xiao Yingxi could get together.
Hearing what Xiao Yingze said, Lu Ziyou was a little worried. If Xiao Yingxi knew all this, she might not forgive Masnian. But seeing the expectant look in Xiao Yingze's eyes, she still swallowed the words that came to her lips.
