Chapter 770: Chapter 704: The Zhan Family’s Son Grown Up (Part 2)

To better plan this meeting, Zhan Hanjue specifically called Mu Chen to inquire about the exact meeting location.

"I know you don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you either. At sea, I’ll have a boat prepared, and you can board it," Mu Chen said.

"Okay,"

Zhan Hanjue agreed.

A moment later, he asked in a low voice, "Can I ask, why do you want to meet me?"

There was a snort from Mu Chen on the other side, followed by a low voice saying, "Wouldn’t you know once we meet?"

Then, Mu Chen hung up the phone.

His caution made it truly difficult for Zhan Hanjue to figure out his intentions.

Meeting on a boat is actually dangerous. Not to mention whether there are flammable items hidden on the boat, it’s inconvenient for him to inspect.

Just pushing him off the boat would be an unpredictable danger.

But since he already agreed, he must go.

So he sought out the bodyguard to discuss strategies and confirm a safe rescue plan for himself.

"Boss, shouldn’t we tell Zhan about this matter?" the bodyguard asked.

Zhan Hanjue shook his head, "No need to let him know."

"Zhan is clever and quick-witted; perhaps he would have a better plan," the bodyguard suggested.

This task is of utmost importance, and they must ensure the boss’s safety.

But even though the plan is thorough, there’s fear of something going wrong.

So they hope to have a safer plan that allows them to protect the boss.

Zhan Hanjue, however, said, "Even though he’s clever and quick-witted, this concerns me, so I’d rather not let him know."

He didn’t even tell him the specific time of the meeting, let alone involve him in the plan.

The bodyguard nodded.

At this moment, Zhan Yunxiao was also secretly making preparations.

Xia Luo saw the map he drew and asked in surprise, "Is this where dad is meeting Mu Chen?"

It turned out to be a boat?

Zhan Yunxiao nodded, "My dad wouldn’t tell me where he’s meeting Mu Chen or the time. Luckily, I prepared in advance and planted a listening device on the bodyguard he trusts most. So I’m well-versed in all their plans. I can’t just let him take risks alone while I wait at home."

"Since you know, just go find your father and tell him your plan," Xia Luo said.

Zhan Yunxiao raised his hand and rubbed her head, "Since he doesn’t want me to know, he doesn’t want me to worry. Why should I expose his intentions? I’ll act ignorant so he’ll be more at ease. I’ll protect him in secret."

"I’m sorry, it’s because of me that things have become like this."

Xia Luo lowered her head, apologizing guiltily.

Zhan Yunxiao wrapped his arm around her shoulder, holding her in his embrace, "Silly, why apologize? Why think it’s your fault? Do you know that I don’t blame you, dad and mom don’t blame you, no one blames you. We only feel for you, enduring so much pain and being schemed against by your own family. Just thinking about it makes me only feel heartache for you."

"Before, I always felt that life was unfair, why did I have such a life? Why do I keep being unlucky? But Xiao, until I met you, I realized that all of my life’s luck was used to meet you. Meeting you is my greatest fortune."

Xia Luo lifted her head, gazing sincerely as she confessed.

Zhan Yunxiao smiled down and kissed her on the lips.

Soon, the day for Zhan Hanjue to meet Mu Chen arrived.

Zhan Yunxiao pretended to ask him when he was meeting Mu Chen.

Zhan Hanjue told him it was tomorrow, and Zhan Yunxiao didn’t suspect a thing.

The family was having a normal meal together.

They no longer restricted Xia Luo’s eating since it was about to end regardless. No matter the outcome, restricting her eating was meaningless and would only make her suffer more.

After the meal, Zhan Hanjue said he had to go out for some business.

"Dad, be careful on the road," Zhan Yunxiao said.

Zhan Hanjue frowned slightly and nodded, leaving with Ye Ningwan.

"Why do I feel like Xiao knows?" Zhan Hanjue said.

Ye Ningwan laughed, "Do you think your son is an idiot? He’s known as a young genius. How could he not guess?"

"But if he knows, why doesn’t he ask me?" Zhan Hanjue wondered.

Ye Ningwan: "Because he’s grown up and doesn’t want to worry you."

"Wanwan, rest assured, I’ll return safely."

Zhan Hanjue hugged Ye Ningwan again, promising her.

Ye Ningwan nodded, watching him get in the car.

However, after Zhan Hanjue’s car left, she immediately made a phone call, and soon a car arrived, and she got in and left.

And Zhan Yunxiao only left after the two of them had gone, driving away.

Before leaving, he also hugged Xia Luo, asking her to wait for his return.

But he didn’t know that after he left, Xia Luo also set off.

Everyone has someone they want to protect, and she’s no exception.

Zhan Hanjue’s car quickly arrived at the shore.

He got off the car and onto a speedboat which took him to the area agreed upon with Mu Chen.

However, when they arrived, Mu Chen’s boat had not yet come over.

Zhan Hanjue called Mu Chen.

"Don’t worry, just go forward another four kilometers, and you’ll see my boat," Mu Chen said.

"You changed your mind at the last minute," Zhan Hanjue said coldly.

Mu Chen: "After all, you raised me for so long, I understand your temper and personality. You’re attentive and thorough. How do I know you didn’t prepare early to work against me? I can’t help it; you guard against me, so I have to guard against you."

His consistent use of respectful language eased Zhan Hanjue’s heart a bit.

"I’ll come over right away."

"Actually, there’s a question I want to ask you," Mu Chen added.

"What is it?"

"You come over so fearlessly, I want to know, is it for Zhan Yunxiao or Xia Luo?" Mu Chen asked.
