Chapter 366 Master Zhang?
“They, are they going to mansion 3?”
w.a.n.g Jiawen looked at Su Yu in the pa.s.senger seat. He swallowed and said, “Mr. Zhang, they went to mansion 3!”
“I see that.” Su Yu sighed.
She thought, “I’m not blind!”
“Do they know Mr. Hong?” w.a.n.g Jiawen shook his head and said, “They have a really… wide network of friends.”
“Who is Mr. Zhang?” w.a.n.g Jiaxuan asked curiously.
w.a.n.g Jiawen smiled and said, “Mr. Zhang runs a restaurant in New Moon Bay, it’s where Guangguang always wants to have a meal.”
“Oh,” w.a.n.g Jiaxuan responded, looking much calmer.
A restaurant owner had nothing to do with her. Maybe she would have a meal there in the future. With her trouble unsolved yet, she didn’t have the mood to care about others.
“Oh!” An idea suddenly hit w.a.n.g Jiawen and he said, “Darling, Mr. Zhang is going to visit Mr. Hong. What do you say we call them and ask him to introduce us?”
“Is… is it okay?” Su Yu said hesitantly.
“Can they? If they are just paying a simple visit to Mr. Hong, we shouldn’t ask. It will be embarra.s.sing.” w.a.n.g Jiaxuan was persuaded at first, but on second thought, she gave up the idea, which was mostly because she felt that this Mr. Zhang mentioned by her brother didn’t have that kind of influence.
“Even if it is just a visit, Mr. Zhang could put in a good word for us. Jiaxuan, I’m telling you. Chairman Liu Qingfeng is friendly to Mr. Zhang, he gave his treasured liquor in Hong Kong to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang has the influence,” w.a.n.g Jiawen said.
“Who? Liu Qingfeng?” w.a.n.g Jiaxuan’s eyes widened in an instant.
The name was widely known in Hong Kong! In the big business circle of Hua nation, he was also famous as a top entrepreneur. She could never catch up with such a figure.
“Of course.” w.a.n.g Jiawen saw his sister’s astonished look and smiled casually. He said, “The treasured liquor is very expensive. However, Mr. Zhang is easy-going and friendly, he is a typical family man. The person who could receive Liu Qingfeng’s liquor gift is certainly a somebody. We have a good relations.h.i.+p with Mr. Zhang’s family. Asking should be nothing.”
When w.a.n.g Jiawen said those words, he was not 100% sure. The truth was that their daughter, w.a.n.g Yihan, and Mengmeng had a close relations.h.i.+p, and they were good friends. So their family relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Han and Zi Yan was becoming closer.
But even with the help of his daughter, w.a.n.g Jiawen was quite proud.
“That’s true.”
After hearing the words, Su Yu thought she could make the call, but she pondered for a while. Then she said, “They have just gone in, they must be greeting each other. We should wait a few minutes before we call them.”
“Yeah, let’s wait here for a while,” w.a.n.g Jiawen turned around and told the two people in the back seat. The car stopped at the side of the road.
w.a.n.g Jiaxuan and Wu Yang looked better because suddenly there was hope for them.
In the meantime—
In mansion 3—
When the panda car arrived at the door, the atmosphere in the hall was still gloomy.
“Xiao Yan and others are coming. All right, don’t think about it now.”
Hong Qitao waved his hand and said, “The situation may not be as bad as I thought. This morning, I heard that last night’s Gu party at the Dragon Triumph Club was a mess. It’s trouble for them. It seems that the Gu family has been greatly affected. Lin Shan has gone out to inquire about the details. When he comes back, we will find out what’s going on. If Gu Chuanlong is in trouble, then our problem would be much easier.”
“Really?” Hong Li suddenly stared and said, “Last night, I also heard that something very big happened. But later on, when I asked some of my friends, they all kept their mouths shut. So I couldn’t find out what was really going on.”
“Nevertheless, after Gu Chuanlong solves his problem, we still have to deal with him.” Tang Jiayi sighed softly.
“Wait till Lin Shan comes back. When Xiao Yan’s group comes, Lili, you go pick them up.” Hong Qitao waved to Hong Li.
Last night, he didn’t have a good rest, which made his back ache a little. He couldn’t help sighing in his heart that his aging body was much worse than before.
He wasn’t very comfortable, so he wasn’t ready to get up. Then he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
“OK.”
Hong Li nodded, then got up and walked quickly to the gate.
After opening the door, Hong Li looked at the people and his expression froze for a moment.
“Yan…? Elder Sister Yan, er… this… you’re here.”
Hong Li was a little confused.
“What is that?
“Parent-child clothes?
“A handsome man and a cute daughter?
“G.o.d! When did Elder Sister Yan have a child?
“How could this be true?”
Hong Li had a lot of questions in his mind.
He forgot to say h.e.l.lo to Zhang Han, and he didn’t know what to say. So he just looked at them in a daze.
When they came near, Hong Li responded with a little smile on his face and said, “Nice to meet you, come in please.”
He moved aside and let Zhang Han and the others come in.
Hong Qitao was still drinking tea. His habit was to leave the tea in his mouth and taste it slowly.
He saw Zi Yan coming in.
The man beside her…
“Poof…”
A large mouthful of tea, like a waterfall, flew out and sprayed everywhere on the table.
Its water mist even made a seven-color light.
It formed a rainbow.
Nini was stunned by the scene.
It was the first time that she had seen Uncle Hong make such a scene. However, her eyes gradually widened after seeing Zhang Han.
“Master Zhang?”
“Whoos.h.!.+”
Hong Qitao immediately stood up and strode forward, staring at Zhang Han.
He put out his hand and laughed.
“Ah, my humble house is honored by Master Zhang’s visit. Welcome, come to the seat of honor!”
This sudden scene shocked Zi Yan and Zhou Fei.
“What is going on?”
“Ah?”
Mengmeng in Zhang Han’s arms was also stunned. Her small arm around Zhang Han’s neck was tightened and her head turned around.
She said in a sweet and tender voice, “This is my Papa, not some master. You, you are wrong.”
“Uncle Hong, what is…?” Zi Yan asked full of doubt.
It took Hong Qitao a few seconds to understand the situation, and he blushed.
Then he was confused again, looking at Zi Yan and Zhang Han. He was completely at a loss.
Fortunately, Tang Jiayi responded fast.
She hurried over to Zi Yan and said with a smile, “Come and sit here first. Let’s sit down and talk.”
She took Zi Yan’s arm and looked at the messy tea table on the side of the hall, thinking for a few seconds and leading everyone into the living room.
When they all sat down, Hong Qitao, Hong Li, and Nini looked Zhang Han’s family up and down curiously.
As long as one was not blind, they could see that they were wearing parent-child clothes; namely, they were… a family!
“A family?
“G.o.d! Zi Yan’s husband is Master Zhang?”
It was shocking.
Everyone, including Hong Qitao, felt as if their brains didn’t function, and they were all confused.
Hong Qitao thought it was because he didn’t sleep very much all night. After all, he could always remain calm in the face of crisis.
“Xiao Yan, you and Master Zhang are…?” Tang Jiayi sat beside Zi Yan and asked with a tender smile.
“Who’s Master Zhang?” Zi Yan closed her lips slightly and looked at Zhang Han strangely. Then she looked at Tang Jiayi and said, “Aunty Tang, let me introduce him. This is my husband, Zhang Han.”
Zi Yan’s words made Tang Jiayi and the others take a deep breath.
Zhang Han’s calm expression changed from the beginning. Hearing Zi Yan’s words, he couldn’t help smiling.
His wife was still a little shy.
“This is our daughter, Mengmeng. Mengmeng, introduce yourself,” Zi Yan looked at Mengmeng and said with a smile.
“Well, my name is Zhang Yumeng, Mengmeng. My name was given to me by Papa.” Mengmeng looked at Hong Qitao with some curiosity and introduced herself politely.
“Oh, what a cute little girl.” Hong Qitao, with a kind smile on his face, could not help reaching out to pinch Mengmeng’s face.
Before his hand touched Mengmeng, Zhang Han held Mengmeng back in his arms and gave a disapproving look at his hand.
He thought, “Wash your hands before you try to touch my baby girl.”
Hong Qitao smiled in embarra.s.sment, then withdrew his hand and touched his beard casually.
“The girl is so cute and beautiful. Zi Yan, you should really have told Aunty Tang before you came that you have a husband and a child, that’s…” Tang Jiayi touched her leg as if she were trying to find her bag. She said, “It’s too sudden. Aunty Tang didn’t prepare a welcome gift.”
“No need, Aunty Tang.” Zi Yan smiled and looked at Mengmeng. She said, “Mengmeng, this is your Grandpa Hong and this is your Granny Tang.”
“Hi, Grandpa Hong, Granny Tang.” Mengmeng muttered, her big eyes flickering and s.h.i.+ning with innocence. Now she was curious about the relations.h.i.+p between grandpa and granny.
When they saw the look of the little girl, Hong Qitao and Tang Jiayi couldn’t stop laughing.
“Zhang Han, these are Aunty Tang and Uncle Hong that I told you about before. They used to take good care of me,” Zi Yan looked at Zhang Han and said.
“Um.” Zhang Han nodded, he smiled and said, “Nice to meet you, Aunty Tang and Uncle Hong.”
“We really don’t deserve this, call us… Um….” Hong Qitao was flattered and shocked, uttering a murmur. He came up with nothing and just said, “Anything else is fine.”
“You are Zhang Han. This is the first time you’ve come here and Aunty Tang hasn’t prepared anything. Next time, I will make it up to you.”
Tang Jiayi was calm. Since Zhang Han already called them that, she responded casually.
From the way Zi Yan and Zhang Han looked at each other, Tang Jiayi felt that they were in love. Through Zi Yan, their relations.h.i.+p with Zhang Han would soon become closer.
She never doubted a wife’s influence over a husband, and she was genuinely kind to Zi Yan.
Today was a nice surprise. At the critical moment of their crisis, Zi Yan brought Master Zhang. Was it G.o.d’s will?
Zhang Han just smiled, then shook his head and said, “Never mind. You are Zi Yan’s elders, that makes you my elders, too.”
Tang Jiayi and Hong Qitao were overjoyed to hear his words.
They looked at each other and found each other’s eyes full of excitement.
They were both relieved. With Master Zhang here, they became more a.s.sured.
Hong Li was still a little confused. He and Nini had been looking Zhang Han up and down.
Master Zhang was so tough on Mount Yun Ding.
But now in front of them, he was so easygoing, as if he was a next-door brother. It made them feel it was a little surreal.
“Brother Zhang, oh no, it’s that… Nice to meet you, elder brother.”
Hong Li interrupted and greeted him just in time.
“Nice to meet you, elder brother,” Nini said with a smile.
Zi Yan added, “He is Hong Li, uncle Hong’s youngest son, and she is Hong Li’s girlfriend, Nini.”
“Nice to meet you.” Zhang Han nodded.
“Lili, Nini, go get some fruit and snacks,” Tang Jiayi waved to them and said.
“Ah?”
Mengmeng was surprised, then her big eyes brightened up. She was happy and began to giggle.
Seeing Mengmeng’s look, they all burst into laughter.
Soon after, Hong Li and Nini brought fruits and lots of snacks. Mengmeng stared with her big eyes at the snacks without moving or making a noise until Zhang Han asked. Then, the little girl just pointed at several snacks. Zhang Han took them and opened the bags for her. Mengmeng began to eat contentedly.
After a few minutes of communication, Tang Jiayi and the others felt a lot more relaxed. Tang Jiayi showed an elegant smile and said, “Xiao Yan, it seems that Mengmeng is three or four years old. Why didn’t we hear anything? When did you get married?”
“We were together five years ago, and then something happened to him. Not long ago, we were reunited. I had been in San Diego before,” Zi Yan said simply.
“Oh, I see. Xiao Yan, it must be hard for you to look after the child alone…” Tang Jiayi and Zi Yan chatted.
Hong Qitao joined their conversation from time to time.
Then he felt that it was about the time, so he looked at Zhang Han and said hesitantly, “Mr. Zhang, to tell the truth, it’s still the thing we discussed last time. Since you are Xiao Yan’s husband, I want to talk it over with you. I don’t know…”
“You mean the thing involving Gu Chuanlong?” Zhang Han fed Mengmeng a small piece of orange as he looked up at him and said blandly, “He will never appear again.”
“Will never appear again?” Hong Qitao was confused.
Tang Jiayi, Hong Li, and Nini all looked at Zhang Han. They didn’t know what he meant.
Just then, the door of the villa was pushed open, and Lin Shan rushed in. He saw no one, so he shouted, “Brother Hong, something has happened, something big has happened!”
“Uncle Lin, over here,” Hong Li shouted.
Lin Shan ran over quickly when he heard the voice, his face s.h.i.+ning with excitement. He rushed into the living room and shouted, “Something big has happened, great news! Haha…”
Before he could finish his words, he saw a room of people staring at him. He was astonished at first, and then he stumbled while seeing Zhang Han.
“What is this G.o.d doing here?”
“Um, this… I’m sorry.” Lin Shan showed an expression of having entered the wrong room as he rushed out, waving to Hong Qitao from outside the door.
“You continue your chat, I’ll check what’s going on.” Hong Qitao got up and went out.
On the other side of the living room, Lin Shan whispered a few words in Hong Qitao’s ear.
“Kaboom!”
The information hit Hong Qitao like a bolt from the blue, leaving a few words repeating in his mind.
“Gu Chuanlong is dead!”
“Protector He Yunfei, Jiang Zonghao, Gu Fang, and Gu Chuanfeng… they were all killed by Master Zhang in seconds.”
“Gu Chuanfeng was trying to do harm to Zi Yan secretly. Master Zhang was furious and he killed 13 people, and more than 100 people’s legs were broken.”
“… ”
“Is this true?” Hong Qitao held his breath.
“It is absolutely true that the authority has imposed a ban. You can imagine what a terrible character Master Zhang is. Some martial artists know about the incident. I asked a lot of people to confirm it,” Lin Shan answered, and suddenly his face got a little serious. He said, “Brother Hong, why is Master Zhang here? He is a very dangerous person.”
“Him?” Hong Qitao took several long breaths, then finally laughed and said, “He’s Xiao Yan’s husband!”
Then he went back to the living room, and he became more enthusiastic. He folded his hands to Zhang Han and said, “Thank you, Mr. Zhang, Gu Chuanlong has indeed disappeared forever.”
The person was dead. How could he appear again?
Zhang Han shook his head slightly and said nothing more.
Zi Yan, Tang Jiayi, and the others didn’t quite get what they were talking about, but Tang Jiayi and Hong Li just felt relieved.
They kept chatting for a few minutes, then Zi Yan’s cell phone rang and she answered it. After a few words, Zi Yan hesitated and said, “Aunty Tang, a friend of mine just came here, and she is outside. She said that she wanted to talk to Uncle Hong about something. I wonder if it’s convenient for you…”
“It’s convenient for us. Since they are your friends, have them directly come in,” Hong Qitao said.
“Oh, well, they’re not far from the door.” Zi Yan nodded and hung up after saying a few words in the phone.
“Lin Shan, pick up the guests,” Hong Qitao said to Lin Shan, who stood at the door primly.
“All right.” Lin Shan hurried out.
When he got to the door, he saw w.a.n.g Jiawen and others standing there. The housekeeper stood before them in a stiff and impa.s.sive manner, as if they were strangers and shouldn’t come in.
Lin Shan ran up to them and laughed. “Welcome! Welcome, come in!”
His att.i.tude slightly surprised w.a.n.g Jiawen and the others.
He sounded very enthusiastic. Mr. Zhang was indeed an influential figure!
When they entered the living room and made a few greetings, they found that Hong Qitao’s att.i.tude toward Zhang Han’s family was so friendly.
Zhang Han’s social connection was absolutely astonis.h.i.+ng. Liu Qingfeng gave him liquor, and Hong Qitao was so friendly to him.
Everyone was speechless.
After chatting a few words, Hong Qitao asked about their trouble. w.a.n.g Jiaxuan told him the truth as she felt that Hong Qitao could help her.
But she didn’t expect that Hong Qitao would directly call the boss and say in an absolute tone, “You need to fix everything for w.a.n.g Jiaxuan’s cooperation and start the preparation on time in three days. I don’t want any delay or any other incidents.”
Hong Qitao sounded like that show-business giant again.
When he solved the problem, Su Yu and the others sat for another 10 minutes. Then they stood up and said goodbye.
While walking to the door and getting in the car, w.a.n.g Jiaxuan still felt like she was in a dream. She murmured.
“Mr. Zhang is Zi Yan’s husband. They’re great.”
“Sometimes the difficulties in our mind can be taken care of by just one request they make!” Wu Yang said emotionally.
“Oh? The problem has been solved. You become lively again, don’t you?” w.a.n.g Jiaxuan smiled and stared at him.
“Let’s go back first. I think we owe much to Mr. Zhang and Zi Yan this time,” w.a.n.g Jiawen said when he started the car.
“We need to thank them. When Zi Yan comes back, I will visit her.” w.a.n.g Jiaxuan nodded.
“… ”
While they were chatting before, they heard from Zhou Fei that Zi Yan would go to the mainland at 3:00 in the afternoon. It might take her about 10 days to come back.
Zhang Han wanted to go back to the restaurant to cook for Zi Yan, but Tang Jiayi persuaded them to stay with enthusiasm.
They couldn’t refuse her, so they stayed for lunch.
During the meal, an interesting thing happened.
Hong Qitao stared at Mengmeng for a while, then finally turned to Zi Yan and said, “Xiao Yan, Mengmeng is so cute. Should I be her G.o.dfather?”
“What?” Zi Yan was stunned.
“Puff…” Hong Li’s meal sprayed from his mouth, he was astonished as well.
If his father became Mengmeng’s G.o.dfather, what position would that put him in?
Tang Jiayi was annoyed, so she kicked Hong Qitao under the table.
“All right. He was joking.”
Hong Qitao said hurriedly, “I didn’t sleep very much last night. My head hurts a little bit, and I feel slightly dizzy. It’s just that Mengmeng is so adorable…”
After dinner, about one o’clock, Zhang Han and the others left.
Hong Qitao and Tang Jiayi brought them to the entrance.
They saw their ordinary panda car.
They shook their heads and sighed.
They didn’t expect the crisis that had haunted them for days would be solved by Zhang Han in such a violent way.
Although it was not an intentional favor, it solved their big problem. Hong Qitao was grateful to them.
After that, Zhang Han and the others went back to the restaurant.
More than 10 people were sitting on the first floor.
Among them were Zhao Feng, Ah Hu, Elder Meng, and two other men, plus six women, including Leng Yue. These 11 people in total were the guards who would follow Zi Yan to the mainland this time.
