Yi Tangchen picked up the phone and frowned slightly when he saw the incoming call on the screen.
But after just a moment's hesitation, he still chose to press the answer button: "Hello, Master."
"Achen, where are you now?" Lucas's unhappy voice came from the phone.
"Master, I..." Yi Tangchen frowned and glanced at Lieyan beside him, and finally told the truth: "Lieyan and I already have a child in China, so I am now preparing to register for marriage with Lieyan."
"Is it the female subordinate next to Zhan Beiyao?" Lucas' voice became even more displeased.
"Yes." Yi Tangchen did not hide it.
"Do you still remember why Master asked you to accompany Ran Xia back to the country? I asked you to help Ran Xia destroy the Zhan family, but what happened to you? You want to marry Zhan Beiyao's female subordinate, Yi Tangchen, did you ignore my words?"
Although there was a long telephone line between them, Yi Tangchen could still feel the anger coming from his master.
"Master, Lieyan and I truly love each other, and this won't affect anything..."
Yi Tangchen wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Lucas: "Yi Tangchen, if you still consider me your master, drive away immediately. You can't get married!"
"I'm sorry, Master!"
But this time, Yi Tangchen decided to follow his heart and be brave for Lieyan and his child: "I can't let my child be without a father. I can't be an irresponsible man, so I'm sorry, I have to disobey you this time."
After saying this, the man quickly hung up the phone.
This was the first time in his life that he disobeyed his master's decision, but he did not regret it!
Lieyan had been listening silently beside him until Yi Tangchen hung up the phone. Then she asked, "Yi Tangchen, is your master a member of the Dark Organization?"
Yi Tangchen looked at Lieyan in surprise: "How did you know?"
"Ten years ago, Master Zhan was hunted down in South City. That was your master's doing, wasn't it?" Lieyan suddenly sneered. "Your master has been secretly fighting against the Zhan family. He must hate them, right? As his disciple, how could you marry the subordinates of his enemies?"
At this point, she took a deep breath and said, "Yi Tangchen, if you want to change your mind, there's still time. I will definitely not stop you."
"Flame!"
But Yi Tangchen tightened his grip on Lieyan's hand and said firmly, "As a man, if I don't even have the right to marry and have children, what kind of man am I?"
"Aren't you afraid that your master will deal with you?" Lieyan asked with a frown.
After hesitating for a moment, Yi Tangchen said, "Master raised us. He is our family. He will not hurt us."
"Yi Tangchen, you're too naive!" But Lie Yan couldn't help but sneer: "How do you know your master isn't using you?"
Yi Tangchen still said with certainty: "Lieyan, Master won't use us!"
"very good!"
Lieyan opened the car door and got out at this moment. "Then let's go register for marriage. That way you will know whether your master truly regards you as family or just a pawn."
…
The old house of the Zhan family.
In the living room.
Old Master Zhan looked at Zhan Beiyao and Ran Xia who suddenly appeared in front of him. He was not too surprised. Instead, he said lightly: "Please sit down."
Ran Xia chose to politely step forward and said very politely: "Grandpa Zhan, I'm sorry to bother you so much. Actually, I came to see you today because I have something very important to confirm with you."
"What's the matter? Tell me." Old Master Zhan was still very calm.
Ran Xia was a little surprised that Mr. Zhan was so easy to talk to, so she didn't beat around the bush and directly took out a photo from her bag and handed it to him: "Grandpa Zhan, I want to know something about what happened forty years ago..."
Unexpectedly, when Mr. Zhan saw the photo that Ran Xia handed over, his old face instantly became gloomy to the extreme: "I don't want to talk about the past anymore. Miss Ran, do you have anything else?"
"Grandpa, this matter is very important to Xia Xia, you should..."
Seeing that his grandfather was unwilling to answer this question, Zhan Beiyao immediately stepped forward and wanted to speak for Ran Xia.
But before he could finish his words, he was glared back by Mr. Zhan: "You have no right to speak here!"
"Grandpa Zhan, I know this matter may have touched upon the past that you don't want to recall, but don't you think the truth should be revealed? Do you want others to misunderstand you for the rest of your life?" Ran Xia still maintained a graceful smile.
"Miss Ran, if I'm guessing correctly, it was Lucas who asked you to come to me, right?" Old Master Zhan's sharp eyes fell on Ran Xia: "It's been forty years, and he still holds a grudge against me."
"Grandpa Zhan, since you already know, I'll just tell you straight away."
Ran Xia didn't intend to hide it. "Lucas is my master. He has always been brooding over Li Xinyu's death forty years ago. He thinks you killed Li Xinyu, so he wants to avenge Li Xinyu. But I believe there must be other hidden secrets. You must have..."
But Master Zhan ruthlessly interrupted Ran Xia: "There is no other hidden secret. It was indeed me who killed Li Xinyu! I killed her with my own hands!"
Ran Xia widened her eyes in disbelief: "Why?"
But Mr. Zhan said expressionlessly: "Is there any reason to kill someone?"
Zhan Beiyao also asked in disbelief: "Grandpa, you taught me to be an upright and good person since I was a child. How could you possibly kill someone?"
"I don't want to talk about this anymore!"
But Mr. Zhan avoided the topic: "Miss Ran, if your master wants you to come here for revenge, you can take my life, but I hope you can tell your master that the Zhan family is innocent and he hopes he will not harm other innocent lives."
After saying this, he stood up and said seriously, "I'm tired, I'll go back to my room to rest."
After saying this, Mr. Zhan turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
"Grandpa Zhan, please listen to me..."
Ran Xia wanted to catch up and say something, but Zhan Beiyao grabbed her hand and said, "Little girl, I believe there is something else hidden in this matter. Don't worry, I will find a way to find the truth."
Da da da!
Just at this moment, the sound of high heels was heard outside the door.
Zhan Beiyao and Ran Xia turned around at the same time and saw Yuan Qian leading a beautiful woman with an enchanting figure in.
When their eyes met, everyone was stunned.
Especially when Yuan Qian saw Ran Xia being led by Zhan Beiyao, she was completely stunned.
Didn’t this guy say he wanted to go on a blind date last night?
She was asked to arrange it.
Why now?
