Chapter 708: Your Woman Is In My Hands

Zhan Haoze received news that two people suspected to be Zhan Kun and Zhan Li had appeared in a villa near the sanatorium.

He knew that there was a property there that belonged to Zhan Li. If they were really in their place, then it would really be effortless.

The car drove for about forty minutes and was about to reach Zhan Li’s villa. In the villa, Zhan Kun and Zhan Li didn’t seem to be surprised by Zhan Haoze’s arrival.

Especially Zhan Kun. His old face that was covered with age spots had a creepy smile on it.

He looked at Zhan Haoze. He was already at the end of his rope. Another stroke and the stimulation caused him to almost die.

But he was Zhan Kun after all. He had brought himself back to life. Looking at Zhan Haoze now, he saw that his face was full of smugness.

“Zhan Haoze, you still have the face to come?”

Zhan Li stood up. One of his hands was broken. Although he had a prosthetic limb, it wasn’t as flexible as a real hand. This was also the reason he hated Zhan Haoze.

Zhan Haoze didn’t look at them, but only looked at Zhan Kun.

“He spent a lot of effort to bring you out just to bring you here? And not to send you back to the Zhan Family? What a waste of effort.”

“I, I said to came here.” Zhan Kun glared at Zhan Haoze with a cold gaze. “I, of course, came here to do something.”

Go back to the Zhan family? He wanted to. But Zhan Haoze surrounded the Zhan family like an iron bucket. This time, if he didn’t think of a way, he wouldn’t have been able to come out.

When he thought of this, Zhan Kun hated him even more. His eyes were as cold, as if he wanted to kill Zhan Haoze.

“You have something to do? Who will help you? Uncle Chi?”

Zhan Kun didn’t say anything, but Zhan Li heard his words and smiled. “Uncle Chi will naturally help grandpa. After all, he is the person who can fully represent Grandpa.”

“Is that so?” Zhan Haoze laughed and walked over to the sofa opposite Zhan Li and sat down.

“Then let us guess what you want Uncle Chi to do. For example, take back the Zhan family. Let others know that you plan to hand the Zhan family over to this trash?”

“Who are you scolding?” Zhan Li couldn’t take it anymore and wanted to rush forward. However, the bodyguard behind Zhan Haoze stepped forward, and Zhan Li couldn’t win.

They had just come out today, but Zhan Kun alreadu couldn’t wait to find some of his former confidants.

After he found them, he didn’t need them to protect his safety. He knew that Zhan Haoze wouldn’t let him die so easily. Therefore, he asked his men to follow Uncle Chi.

As long as he took back the Zhan family, Zhan Haoze’s men were nothing/

“Zhan Haoze, don’t be too smug. After today, you will have nothing.”

“Is that so?” Zhan Haoze nodded. “Then, why don’t we wait here and see who will be the one who has nothing?”

Zhan Kun’s eyes widened. He looked at Zhan Haoze and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Soon, his phone rang. On the other end of the phone was one of his confidants besides Uncle Chi.

“Old Master, Uncle Chi, Uncle Chi has run away.”

“What?” Zhan Kun’s hoarse voice almost cracked. He didn’t believe it at all. “What did you say?”

“Uncle Chi has been arrested.”

Zhan Kun couldn’t hear what was said on the other end of the phone. He stared at Zhan Haoze with wide eyes.

“You, what did you do?”

Uncle Chi would never betray him. Zhan Haoze must have done something for him to be caught all of a sudden.

Zhan Haoze smiled, but his smile didn’t reach his eyes. His expression was cold. “Shouldn’t you ask what did Uncle Chi did?”

What did he mean? Zhan Kun’s eyes widened. “You, you –”

“Zhan Haoze, what did you do to Uncle Chi?”

Zhan Li’s clamor didn’t enter Zhan Haoze’s ears. He looked at Zhan Kun. “Or did you ask Uncle Chi to do something?”

Zhan Kun’s methods were vicious and ruthless. During so many years, he had gotten rid of those who got in his way.

The most important person was naturally Uncle Chi. After so many decades, how many people’s blood had been stained on Uncle Chi’s hands? Zhan Kun probably didn’t even know.

“Don’t be anxious. Very soon, it will be your turn.”

“You, you –”

Like every time in the past, Zhan Kun became extremely angry with Zhan Haoze. However, he quickly reacted.

“Do you think that you’ve won?”

He forced himself to glare at Zhan Haoze. “Why don’t you make a call and ask where your woman is now?”

Zhan Haoze narrowed his eyes. His phone rang at this moment. It was the bodyguard he had sent to protect Shi Mengwan.

He didn’t know what was said on the other side of the phone, but it made Zhan Haoze’s brows tighten. He raised his head and looked at Zhan Kun.

“What did you do?”

Zhan Kun seemed to know what this call was about. He was also looking at him with a sinister smile on his face.

“Your woman is in my hands,” Zhan Kun said with a cold smile. His hoarse voice was very unpleasant to hear.

The content of the call was even more unpleasant to hear. Tang Hua, who was beside Zhan Haoze, looked at Zhan Haoze worriedly.

Zhan Haoze hung up the phone and stared at Zhan Kun. “What did you say?”

“I said, your woman is now in my hands.” Zhan Kun felt that his anger was finally relieved.

“If you don’t want anything to happen to your woman, then get someone to release Uncle Chi and hand over the Zhan family.”

Zhan Haoze sat there and looked at the proud and arrogant grandfather and grandson. He suddenly laughed.

“What makes you think that I would hand over the entire Zhan family for a woman?”

“You wouldn’t?”

“It’s just one woman. Compared to the entire Zhan family, she’s really insignificant. Moreover, the Zhan family is in my hands. What woman can’t I get?”

Zhan Kun shook his head. He looked at Zhan Haoze as if he was looking at him, but it didn’t seem like he was looking at him. “No, you will.”

“I didn’t know that you knew me so well.” Zhan Haoze’s face was dark. “I’m not even sure about it, but you’re sure?”

“Of course I’m sure, because you’re just like your father. Stupid and ridiculous. You would throw away everything for a woman.”

Zhan Kun’s expression turned extremely ugly when he thought of Zhan Lie.

“Is that so?” Zhan Haoze’s eyes darkened. “But, I’m not my father. I refuse.”

“You –” Zhan Kun didn’t believe his ears. “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it at all. You’re saying so on purpose. Do you think that I’ll let that woman off just because you said so?”

“You forgot one thing. I’m not my father.”

He stood up as he looked at Zhan Kun. “Don’t worry, Uncle Chi is not the only one with a criminal record. The police are already on their way. I originally thought that at your age, I would feel more accomplished if I let you stay in the sanatorium and watch me destroy the Zhan family bit by bit. But now, you should go to prison and watch me destroy the Zhan family from there.”

“Zhan Haoze.” Zhan Li stood up. “You, don’t be too smug. I’m telling you, if you don’t hand over the Zhan family, your woman will die.”

Zhan Kun couldn’t hold on any longer. He looked at Zhan Haoze. “You, I don’t believe you, I don’t believe you.”

Sirens sounded outside the door. Zhan Haoze turned around and walked out. Zhan Kun shook his head behind him. “I don’t believe you, I don’t believe that you really don’t care. Do you really not care about the life or death of that woman?”

It was impossible. Zhan Haoze should have been the same as his father. He should have been as stupid as his father. He abandoned the Zhan family for a woman.

He should have been the same as his father. He should have…

Zhan Kun’s body went limp. He started to feel uncomfortable again, but what made him even more uncomfortable was yet to come.

When Zhan Haoze walked to the door, he stopped for a moment. He turned around and looked at Zhan Kun, whose face was ashen. Zhan Kun was about to faint. “Oh right, I forgot to say something. You can call your people and ask who the woman he tied up is.”

Zhan Kun’s eyes widened. At the same time, the phone in Zhan Li’s hand rang.

The voice on the other end of the phone was filled with panic. “Old Master, we kidnapped the wrong person. The person we kidnapped isn’t that woman.”

Zhan Kun could no longer hear what was said next. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Zhan Li wanted to do something else, but the police outside the door had already entered. He started to retreat.

“I didn’t commit a crime, why are you arresting me? I didn’t commit a crime, you can’t arrest me. I want to find a lawyer…”

Zhan Haoze couldn’t hear what he was shouting at the back, and he didn’t want to hear it.

After getting into the car, the motorcade quickly headed towards the city’s center.

Shi Mengwan looked at the office environment that was more than twice the size of her studio in Lin City, but the style of the renovation was the same. Other than satisfaction and surprise, there was nothing else in her eyes.

She didn’t know how long it would take to finish the renovation, but it was definitely not something that happened in a day or two.

Zhan Haoze went to look for her during this period of time, which meant that he had been preparing for it.

She suddenly believed what he said about Chen Feifei.

He had really thought about breaking off the engagement a long time ago and getting together with her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have put so much effort into it.

Especially when she saw a few pieces of her designs displayed in the exhibition hall. Apart from the pieces that she had participated in the French competition last time, there were also a few pieces that had been showcased in the domestic competition.

Apart from the winning pieces, there were even some designs that she had designed in the early stages, which were slightly immature. She could actually see all of them here.

She suddenly wanted to see Zhan Haoze very, very much.

She just wanted to ask her bodyguard where Zhan Haoze was. If it was possible, she wanted to go directly to where Zhan Haoze was. She wanted to find him.

She really liked this gift too much. She really liked it too much.

When she turned around, she realized that Zhan Haoze had arrived at some unknown time. She quickly went forward. Without a second thought, she threw herself into his embrace.

“You’re here?”

When Zhan Haoze saw her, even though he knew that under his arrangements, Shi Mengwan would be fine, he still couldn’t help but reach out and hug her tightly.

His heart, which had been hanging in the air all the way, finally relaxed a little at this moment.

She was still here, safe and sound. Zhan Kun didn’t affect her. His people didn’t succeed either. She was still fine. This was good, very good.

“Haoze?”

He hugged her too tightly, making her a little breathless. She couldn’t help but look up at him.

Zhan Haoze finally let go. He looked at his surroundings and looked at her again.

“En, how is it? Do you like it?”

Shi Mengwan nodded heavily and hugged his waist. “I like it. I like it a lot.”

It was exactly what she imagined the studio to look like. It was bigger, better, and the style was more suitable.

“If there’s anything else that you don’t think is suitable, you can tell Tang Hua directly and ask him to change it.”

“There’s nothing that isn’t suitable. Everything is suitable.”

When he said that he was renovating, she really thought that it was a studio that was still under renovation. But she didn’t expect him to give her such a big surprise.

How was this still under renovation? She could just come in and work.

“It’s good that it’s suitable.” Zhan Haoze put his arm around her waist and gently stroked her hair. With a faint smile on his face, he said, “I’ve asked Tang Hua to recruit people. The first interview stage has already passed. As for the second interview and the final interview. if you feel at ease, you can ask Tang Hua to do them. If you aren’t at ease, you can do them on your own. All the information is ready in your office in front.”

He had already thought of some things for her that she had never thought of. “As for the studio in Lin City, there’s no need to end it. You can specially arrange for people you trust to continue operating as a branch.”

“And the two contract factories that you contacted. If you’re too busy in Lin City, I’ll let Tang Hua buy the two garment factories in Qing City. In the future, they’ll all be yours.”

Zhan Haoze’s words made Shi Mengwan’s eyes widen. Two garment factories. What kind of concept was that? He said he would buy them.

“Zhan Haoze, you spoil me too much.” She only thought that a factory can split production lines to make her clothes, but she didn’t think that she could have a garment factory.

“Spoil you too much?” Zhan Haoze felt that she was too easy to satisfy. “Since you want to be big, of course having your own factory will be more assured. At least you can have more control.”

“Okay.” Since he was so thoughtful, what was Shi Mengwan not satisfied with? She tiptoed and kissed his lips. “Thank you, Haoze.”

Zhan Haoze looked at her and held her hand in his own. “I don’t want your thanks. What’s mine is yours. You never have to say thank you to me.”

Shi Mengwan reached out her hand to hold his face because of his words. She looked at him fixedly, and their eyes met.

“Zhan Haoze, are you really Zhan Haoze?”

Such sweet words, such consideration for her, such a man who thought of all her problems, was he really her Dear Brother? Was he really the Zhan Haoze who used to treat her coldly?

“If I’m not Zhan Haoze, then who am I?”

Shi Mengwan suddenly laughed. Yes, if he wasn’t her Dear Brother, then who else could it be?

“Or are you saying that you don’t like me like this?”

“I like it.” Shi Mengwan hugged him tightly. “I like it too much.”

“It’s good that you like it.”

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers. Soon, someone sent a large bouquet of roses in. He knelt down on one knee in front of her.

He passed the roses in his hand to her. “Wanwan, marry me.”

Shi Mengwan bit her lip. She didn’t believe there would be so many surprises today. “Zhan Haoze, you…”

“Marry me. I know it’s hard for you to give up everything in Lin City and come here with me, but I still selfishly hope that you’ll agree to marry me. I promise I’ll always be good to you and take care of you for the rest of your life.”

Shi Mengwan covered her lips and looked at the bouquet of roses. Her eyes turned red and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. “I promise you.”

Zhan Haoze watched her take the bouquet of roses and took out a ring from it. It wasn’t the big diamond ring that she had imagined. Instead, it was a very ordinary diamond ring with an antique style.

The diamond was small, but it was shiny and charming. The style was also very classic.

Zhan Haoze put the ring on Shi Mengwan’s hand, and his slender fingers gently touched the surface of the ring. “This is considered an engagement ring. I have already asked someone to make a wedding ring. It will take some time to send it back.”

“It’s okay.” Shi Mengwan didn’t mind.

Zhan Haoze didn’t look at her. He just stared at the ring. “This ring was my mother’s heirloom. It’s the wedding ring from when she married my father in the past.”

Shi Mengwan looked at this ring with extraordinary significance. In that instant, she could almost feel the weight of this ring.

“Actually, there’s no need to specially order a wedding ring. This one is very good.”

“No. You deserve better.”

Zhan Haoze held her hand and seemed to have thought of something. “Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere.”

“Where to?”

“You’ll know when you come with me.”

Zhan Haoze said. Shi Mengwan looked at him and followed him out of the door with the big bouquet of roses in her arms.

Zhan Haoze sat in the car with a serious look on his face. In the middle of the call, he took a few calls, and Shi Mengwan could hardly hear him speak. It was all just a simple favor. ‘Okay, I got it.’

Such a response and such a Zhan Haoze made her feel like he had returned to the first time they met.

She couldn’t help but reach out to hold Zhan Haoze’s hand. Zhan Haoze turned to look at her. When he saw the worry in her eyes, he patted her hand.

“Zhan Haoze? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

Zhan Haoze held her hand tightly. His expression was a little ambivalent. It was as if he was relaxed, but it was also as if he was nervous. It was as if he was in pain, but it was also as if he was happy.

Shi Mengwan couldn’t say it, but Zhan Haoze’s eyes made her heart ache. She couldn’t help but hold his hand and snuggle into his arms at the same time.

“I’ll stay with you.”

I’ll always stay with you.

Zhan Haoze didn’t say anything more. He just pressed his chin against her hair and smelled the faint fragrance on her body. The urge to kill slowly relaxed.

Zhan Kun wasn’t locked up after all, because he fainted again. This time, he probably couldn’t be saved.

Uncle Chi wasn’t willing to confess what he had done, even if the evidence was irrefutable. But regardless of whether he confessed or not, he would probably end up in prison.

As for Zhan Li and Zhan Yang, without Zhan Kun, they were nothing to be afraid of.

The remaining Bi Shuqiao and Zhan Lie…

The Bi family wanted to help Bi Shuqiao seize power over the business and regain control of the Zhan family, but the Bi family had been arrogant enough these few years.

In the past few days, he had already sped up his actions to deal with the Bi family’s company. He believed that in less than a week, the news of the Bi family’s company going bankrupt would spread.

With the Bi family’s company going bankrupt, Bi Shuqiao would no longer have any chips and loyalty. Zhan Lie would have one less backer, and Zhan Li and Zhan Yang were no-gooders.

The Zhan family could be considered to be completely finished.

And the cautiousness and forbearance that he had been enduring for the past few months had also come to an end.

The police were already on their way to the Zhan family’s mansion. It wouldn’t be long before the Zhan family was seized. After all, Zhan Kun, Uncle Chi, and Zhan Lie all had dirty hands.

After the Zhan family’s disgrace, the Zhan family’s members might be even worse than ordinary people.

His long-term wish had finally been fulfilled.

While Zhan Haoze was thinking, the car had already stopped.
