Chapter 132 Appropriate Motive
Yu Chucheng's actions were very covert. There were many people in the venue at the time, and the turkey was being cut on the first floor. No one had time to care about what others were doing.
However, Hao Jia had been secretly keeping an eye on Yu Chucheng, and discovered that he was coming down from the second floor and walking towards the door while everyone was waiting in line with their plates.
There would have been nothing wrong with leaving early, but just one minute before Yu Chucheng left, the people who had threatened to retaliate against Duan Huaijin just left.
If Hao Jia didn't know what those people were going to do, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with Yu Chucheng leaving at this time.
A trace of surprise flashed across Zhang Hanzhou's eyes. He suddenly grabbed Hao Jia's shoulders and said, "Are you telling the truth? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Hao Jia shook her head, "I'm sure I'm not wrong."
Yu Chucheng stood out in the crowd, and he kept staring at him.
"I didn't say it before because I didn't think it was an important matter. I don't know why you care so much about whether Yu Chucheng and Duan Huaijin broke up." Hao Jia explained in a low voice.
At that time, he thought that Zhang Hanzhou had a crush on Yu Chucheng. Now that Yu Chucheng has transformed into an Omega, and the Yu family is well matched with the Zhang family, it seems like a perfect choice no matter how you look at it.
"That is to say, the Yu family has always been behind Duan Huaijin, and that has never changed..." Zhang Hanzhou's face turned pale, "They faked the breakup and deceived all of us."
The Yu family is like a towering tree that never falls. Zhang Guangzhi only gave him one week, not to mention the mountain of Yu Jingchen standing in front of him. How could he possibly compete with the Yu family...
Why did it have to be the Yu family? If it were someone else, he wouldn't be in such a dilemma.
Zhang Hanzhou smiled self-deprecatingly. He unlocked his phone and called Duan Haixiang. "Hello? Are you free tomorrow? Let's meet."
Duan Haixiang is worried about having no money to spend recently.
The money Yu Chucheng gave him was enough for him to pay off his debts, but he was still not satisfied. He was racking his brains to find a reason to get some money from his own son. Just then, Zhang Hanzhou called him and he immediately agreed.
The two of them made an appointment to meet at the small teahouse where Lin Mei usually met Zhang Hanzhou. As soon as Duan Haixiang entered the teahouse, he began to complain, "Why come to a place like this? I don't like drinking tea. Why don't you change to the restaurant we went to last time? I think the food there is especially delicious."
Zhang Hanzhou ignored him and gave the boss a wink. The teahouse owner understood and took the newspaper, slowly went back to the back room and closed the door.
"Don't talk so much. I have something important to ask you and you must tell me the truth." Zhang Hanzhou pulled out a chair and sat down.
Duan Haixiang: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Hanzhou stared at him with a scrutinizing look, "Do you remember the strange text message you received on your phone? It sent you a photo and told you who to ask for money from."
Duan Haixiang's facial muscles twitched, "How do you know... Wait, it's you?"
Zhang Hanzhou did not deny it, "Yu Chucheng should have given you money to pay off your debt."
Duan Haixiang's pair of yellow eyes widened, and his brain seemed to be rusty. It took him a long time to react.
He leaned back in his chair pretending to be relaxed, and said, "Give me shit, didn't I say it in my text message? How could he possibly give it to me? I even knelt on the ground and begged him but he didn't give it to me, damn..."
After saying that, Duan Haixiang moved closer and inquired, "Are they really dating?"
Zhang Hanzhou stared at Duan Haixiang, trying to find some flaws in Duan Haixiang's micro-expressions, but Duan Haixiang really seemed unaware of the relationship between Yu Chucheng and Duan Huaijin, and the surprise on his face didn't look fake.
As expected, Yu Chucheng would not help an old rogue like Duan Haixiang pay off his debts, but this was exactly what he wanted. This was the result he wanted.
A suitable motive.
Duan Haixiang didn't get an answer from Zhang Hanzhou, and he didn't know what Zhang Hanzhou was thinking. He rolled his eyes and felt that he must have been fooled.
"Your father and I borrowed money everywhere to pay off our debts, but you didn't care about me. I don't know where your mother ran off to. Humph..."
Duan Haixiang was thinking in his mind that he deliberately didn't tell Zhang Hanzhou because he wanted to play the victim in front of Zhang Hanzhou and let Zhang Hanzhou give him some money. He could have the best of both worlds and his life would be so comfortable in the future.
How could Zhang Hanzhou not hear the hidden meaning of Duan Haixiang's words? He suddenly clenched his hands on the table, "How dare you call yourself my father? Who gave you the face?"
Duan Haixiang's eyebrows raised and his eyes widened, "Is that how you talk to me?! Do you believe me or not, I will make your life story known to the public?"
Zhang Hanzhou stood up and looked down at him coldly, "Go ahead and tell me, provided you have a chance to speak."
Duan Haixiang felt a chill on his back. He realized something was wrong and instinctively wanted to get up, but was stabbed in the neck by a needle from someone who had approached him from behind.
The effect of the anesthetic was immediate. Duan Haixiang's face trembled twice with a distortion, and then he fell limply to the ground.
Zhang Hanzhou slowly squatted down and looked at Duan Haixiang's face, which looked nothing like him.
"If you really regard me as your son, then help me once. I swear, this is the only time and the last time."

Yu Chucheng and the others soon knew the news that Zhang Hanzhou was rescued by Zhang Guangzhi.
A lot of things happened during this period. After Chen Cheng confirmed, the raw materials in the factory were used to produce catalysts. Zhang Guangzhi's factory was forced to suspend production and undergo a comprehensive investigation.
The Zhang family's stock price plummeted, and it hit the limit down for several consecutive days. Many people were discussing who the Zhang family had offended to be treated so badly, but almost no one suspected the Yu family, because the two families' industries did not affect each other and there was no conflict of interest at all.
However, Yu Chucheng did not expect that Zhang Guangzhi would go to so much trouble to get Zhang Hanzhou out at this critical juncture, and the investigation team searching for Zhang Hanzhou's bribery encountered some obstacles.
Yu Chucheng fiddled with the newly bought cufflinks in his hand. Although the cufflinks looked ordinary, he had someone modify them and installed a miniature camera inside, which was connected to his computer.
The cell phone next to him rang twice. When Yu Chucheng saw that the caller was Xin Yihan, he remembered what he had forgotten.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I've been busy lately and I forgot about visiting your house today. Wait for me, I'll pack and come over soon."
Yu Chucheng casually placed the cufflinks on the table, stood up and opened the closet to look for suitable clothes.
Xin Yihan smiled knowingly, "It's okay, I just want to ask if you want me to send someone to pick her up."
Yu Chucheng: "No need, my driver will take me there soon."
Xin Yihan: "Okay, then send me a message when you arrive and I'll open the door for you."
Yu Chucheng changed his clothes and washed his face briefly. Before leaving, he caught a glimpse of the cufflinks on the table, thought about it, and decided to pin them on his sleeves.
