Chapter 182

Zhang Nan walked over and waited for two minutes before walking back. When she saw Han Shengyi, she paused, then walked over hesitantly. After saying a few words to Han Shengyi, she suddenly smiled.

Chu Jiujiu knew without a doubt that she was just playing the chance encounter game.

Wang Hongye felt that Chu Jiujiu was a little absent-minded, and it was almost time for dinner, so he asked Chu Jiujiu: "Let me call Shengyi over, so we can sit together."

Chu Jiujiu immediately turned around and waved her hand, "No, no, I'll go find him later. By the way, Brother Hongye, how's your shipyard going? I heard from Grandpa Wang that they're going to nationalize it."

Speaking of this, Wang Hongye's attention was diverted. He smiled and said, "Yes, that's how it should be. I originally relied on my parents' influence to set up the shipyard. Now that it is state-owned, it will be much more convenient to do things in the future. This is just a pilot project. If it works well, I will promote it and expand it."

Chu Jiujiu also laughed: "Becoming state-owned means we can operate in a wider range of areas. We used to only build ships, but maybe we can even build aircraft carriers in the future."

Wang Hongye: "That's great, I'm looking forward to it too. Didn't Shengyi also set up a factory? I heard he's going to make cars too."

"No, no, it's still in the research and development stage. We haven't really reached that stage yet."

While they were chatting, Chu Jiujiu would glance at Han Shengyi from time to time, but later she was blocked by someone and could not see anything. It was not until everyone was seated that Chu Jiujiu returned to Han Shengyi. By then, Zhang Nan had already left.

Pursing her lips, Chu Jiujiu said nothing. After finishing the meal, they walked out of the hotel and came to the back of an empty building. Chu Jiujiu asked anxiously, "What did she say to you?"

Han Shengyi: "I didn't mention the necklace."

Chu Jiujiu said, "I know, she's definitely not that stupid, but didn't you guys talk for a long time? What did she say to you?"

"She said she wanted to invest in China. After returning for so long, she found that China's technology and living standards were far behind the world. She wanted to help her compatriots. In addition to giving money, she also wanted to provide technology and personnel. She thought she could talk to me later and visit the factory. If she thought it was good, she would invest money in me."

At this point, Han Shengyi smiled slightly and said, "After all, we will be relatives in the future."

Chu Jiujiu snorted, "Who wants to be related to her?"

After saying that, Chu Jiujiu frowned, "She wants to find you again. I thought she would send someone to steal again."

Han Shengyi: "She has already seen me wearing the necklace. She can't steal it at home. Besides, the last time she stole it from your house, it caused a huge uproar and a sensation in the whole city. She can't afford the risk again."

Chu Jiujiu nodded, "So she's planning to snatch it from you?"

Han Shengyi thought for a while and said, "That shouldn't be the case. Robbery would be too exaggerated and would not end well. She must be trying to trick me into coming here."

Chu Jiujiu disagreed. "She's not a pushover. You can't analyze her with a normal person's mindset."

Han Shengyi laughed. "I'm not a pushover either. Believe me, there are many kinds of bad people. If it hadn't come to that point, she wouldn't have taken such a risk so quickly."

Chu Jiujiu still felt that they should be extremely wary of Zhang Nan, but what Han Shengyi said made sense. There was still time, so they could go back and think about it slowly.

I don’t know who said it, but they all thought it wouldn’t happen so soon. However, the facts told them that it was that fast.

Zhang Nan had originally planned to contact Han Shengyi in a few days, but after dealing with Chu Lijun in the hotel, she was about to go to the courtyard to see what was going on there. As a result, the gate of the courtyard was wide open, and two of the three guards were gone, and one was lying unconscious at the entrance of the cellar with blood all over his head.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Nan knew without asking that Chu Yue had run away.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and Zhang Nan stood at the entrance of the cellar without moving. At this time, one of the guards came back. He was her distant cousin.

The big man's legs went weak when he found Zhang Nan coming. He had come back to pack up and run away, but he didn't expect to bump into Zhang Nan by chance. He turned around and ran away reflexively, not even wanting the money left here. But Zhang Nan turned around at the moment he was about to run, pulled out a gun from her coat, and pointed it at him fiercely: "Stop! Or I will kill you now!"

The big man didn't dare to move anymore. He stood stiffly in place. When Zhang Nan walked around to him and saw the cold muzzle of the gun, he knelt down with a thud.

"Cousin! Cousin, I was wrong. I didn't let her run away. I just went out to buy some food, and when I came back, she was like this. I went out to look for her all night! But, but that bitch ran too fast. I, I, I couldn't find her..."

Zhang Nan was furious. "You ran away all night?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

The big man stammered and was unable to speak, of course it was because he didn't dare to tell Zhang Nan that he wanted to go find the person himself, and if he couldn't find him, he would just slip away to avoid encountering this situation.

No matter how angry he was, Chu Yue had already run away, and the other one who went out to look for someone hadn't come back yet, and it was hard to say whether he would come back. The more Zhang Nan thought about it, the angrier he became. He kicked the man opposite him hard. He didn't dare to say a word and lay on the ground and didn't get up. He had never seen Zhang Nan so angry before, and he was afraid that she would collapse if she was unhappy. He lay on the ground, trembling.

He hasn't married yet and hasn't had any children yet, so he doesn't want to die so early.

He thought Zhang Nan was thinking about how to deal with him, but in fact Zhang Nan didn't think about this at all.

Chu Yue ran away, and someone would see her soon. The only thing that made her feel fortunate was that Chu Yue had been locked up for so many days and was no longer conscious. It was also because of this that they relaxed their vigilance against Chu Yue. What if she was pretending...

No, if she was pretending, the police would have come to arrest them by now. Since no one came, it meant that Chu Yue had not called the police yet, or she did not know how to call the police.

But Chu Yue is a living person. At the latest, someone will find her tomorrow and send her to the hospital. The two sentences Chu Yue said most when she was unconscious were "Don't kill me" and "It's all Nie Bai's fault." Sooner or later, someone will find out about her.

No, she must leave immediately.

Zhang Nan made the decision almost in an instant.

She looked at the big man coldly, which froze him.

"Kill him and throw him in the cellar. Then go to Juxiang Tower and find Wang Wu for me. Tell him to prepare the boat. I'm leaving tomorrow."

The big man was stunned: "Do, do..."

Zhang Nan: "You don't dare?"

Being watched by her, the big man quickly said, "Dare! I dare!"

If he said he didn't dare, he was afraid that Zhang Nan would do it himself, and by then, more than one person would be killed.

Now there was no one else she could boss around, so Zhang Nan offered a sweet treat, "As long as you get it done for me, I'll take you on board. Staying here is a dead end for you. Come with me, and after you go abroad, you'll live a life of luxury. Find Wang Wu, and then meet me at the hotel entrance. I asked you to learn how to drive before, but have you learned it now?"

The big man nodded repeatedly, "I got it."

Zhang Nan's expression brightened slightly. "Go ahead and do it. I'll watch you kill him, and then I'll leave."

Although he was also a cruel and vicious person, he had never done such a thing as killing people, let alone killing his companions. He was almost scared to death, but Zhang Nan still looked calm, as if she was not sentencing someone to death, but casually talking about the weather. Closing his eyes, the big man gave himself courage and walked to the unconscious companion. He said in his heart, "I'm sorry, brother", then took out the knife he carried with him and stabbed him.

He stabbed the man in the heart, but he didn't wake up and died silently. The big man looked stunned, as if he didn't expect it to be so simple. Behind him, Zhang Nan was impatient, "Why don't you kick him down?"

The big man finally reacted and pushed and shoved his companion's body into the cellar, covered it, and walked out with Zhang Nan.

When Zhang Nan was about to leave at a fork in the road, the big man suddenly asked her, "Cousin, where are you going?"

Zhang Nan turned around and asked, "You want to know about me?"

The big man: “…”

"No, no, no, I don't want to!"

Zhang Nan sneered, "That's good. Be good and don't mess up the things I told you to do. Your father was very kind to my father, and I don't want to carry your body on board."

The big man didn't dare to speak anymore. He and Zhang Nan went their separate ways, and soon, both disappeared into the night.

The wind and clouds were raging outside, but Chu Jiujiu was sleeping soundly. She had no idea that Zhang Nan had been to the alley where her home was, nor did she know that she had been looking out the dark window of the Han family's house for a long time.

The next morning, the quiet city began to gradually regain its vitality. Wen Xiuwei and the others stayed there all day and went back before dark. Now there were only three people in the Han family. Han Shengyi sat at the dining table reading the newspaper. After he finished reading, he would go to the factory.

At this time, the phone at home suddenly rang. Han Shengyi walked over, picked it up, and found that it was Zhang Nan calling.

She spoke with a smile, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze, and she seemed to be in a good mood. She said that she had found a like-minded friend and wanted to invest in Han Shengyi's factory together. She asked him if he was free and if she could come over now, because the man was very busy and only had time this morning.

He was calm yesterday, but he is so anxious today. Han Shengyi intuitively feels that something has changed, which is why Zhang Nan is so impatient.

This was good, saving him the trouble. With a chuckle, he agreed and said he would be there in an hour.

After hanging up the phone, he went to the Chu family. Chu Jiujiu hadn't gotten up yet and was lying on the bed taking a nap. When she heard the news brought by Han Shengyi, she was stunned for a moment and immediately threw back the quilt, "I'm going too!"

Han Shengyi pushed her back gently, "What are you going to do? Didn't we agree that I will go and deal with her, and you just wait at home."

Chu Jiujiu stood up again and said, "You'd better knock me out right now, or forget it!"

Han Shengyi: “…”

Chu Jiujiu: "Who knows what she wants to do today? What if she plans to kill someone or rob someone? What if she wants to kidnap you? I tell you, she is someone who could really do something like that!"

When this was mentioned, Chu Jiujiu became extremely nervous, as if she had seen it with her own eyes. Han Shengyi didn't quite understand why she was so worried that Zhang Nan would do something bad to him, to the point of being almost certain. But there was no time to think about this problem right now. Zhang Nan was still waiting, and he needed to go there as soon as possible.

After thinking for a moment, Han Shengyi compromised, "She made an appointment with me at the hotel entrance. Don't go near her, just stay at the intersection."

After he finished speaking, he took out something from behind his back and handed it to Chu Jiujiu. He said, "Take it, just in case."

Chu Jiujiu was shocked, "You...how could you have it...did you make it yourself?!"

Han Shengyi: “…”

"I'm not that capable yet," Han Shengyi said helplessly, "This is borrowed. I have to return it after I'm done using it."

Chu Jiujiu was relieved. "But I don't know how to use it, and what will you do if I take it?"

Like a magic trick, Han Shengyi took out another identical one from his pocket and said, "I have another one."

Chu Jiujiu: “…”

He also said that she was overthinking it. Looking at Han Shengyi's posture, it seemed that he was about to have a fight with Zhang Nan.

After discussing it, the two of them set off. The morning sun was hanging in the sky, and there were more than just the two of them busy.

Their relationship had heated up yesterday, and today Wang Hongye was ready to take the initiative as Chu Jiujiu said. He went to the downstairs of the Shen family and waited early in the morning. After Shen Baisu came out, the two went for a walk in the park. Not long after they entered the park, they heard a commotion. When they looked over, they found a disheveled woman with blue lips curled up in the crevice.

When Wang Hongye saw her for the first time, he didn't recognize her. When he realized that it was Chu Yue, Wang Hongye was stunned for two seconds, then quickly squeezed into the crowd.

The only person at the scene who knew Chu Yue was Wang Hongye, so he had to send Chu Yue to the hospital. A good date turned out like this. Wang Hongye felt very sorry for Shen Baisu, but Shen Baisu didn't mind. He even felt that such a kind-hearted Wang Hongye was even more noble. Shen Baisu looked at Chu Yue in the ward, while Wang Hongye went out to call Chu's family.

He didn't know the contact information of Chu Yue's parents at all. After thinking about it, he still called Chu Shao. No matter what, she was his cousin, and out of humanitarianism, he should take care of her.

Chu Shao was at the Wen family. He had just finished his meal and was about to go out to look for Chu Jiujiu when the phone suddenly rang. Chu Shao heard Wang Hongye say that Chu Yue was dying. He was confused but still rushed over immediately.

Wen Xiuwei originally wanted to follow, but that was a hospital and Chu Shao didn't let her go.

Chu Shao came very quickly, and when he arrived, Chu Yue woke up. When she woke up, she talked nonsense, pointing at Shen Baisu who was accompanying her and crying and laughing.

"Why do you have everything? You are not as good as me in everything. Why? Shen Baisu, tell me why?"

Shen Baisu was confused. She didn't know Chu Yue at all, so why did Chu Yue act like she had known her for many years?

Seeing Chu Shao walk in, Chu Yue pointed at Chu Shao again.

"No! You shouldn't be here. Your parents are dead. Our family won't take you in. Go away, go away!"

Wang Hongye walked towards Chu Shao and asked him in a low voice: "She seems to be crazy. The doctor said she needs to be transferred to another hospital. Can you find her parents?"

Chu Shao didn't listen to what Wang Hongye said at all. He stared at Chu Yue, "What did you just say?"

Perhaps because Chu Shao's expression was a bit scary, Chu Yue's expression slowly changed, becoming more and more terrified. Suddenly, she burst into a piercing and terrifying scream, "Ah! Ah!! Don't kill me, I've told you everything, don't kill me! Go find Nie Bai, he's also reborn, go find him, the necklace you mentioned must be on him!"
