Zhan Xiuchen frowned.
He didn't want to gamble with Zhan Wang.
Neither he nor Zhan Wang could afford to gamble.
Zhan Xiuchen stared into Zhan Wang's eyes: "Zhan Wang, I don't want to fight you to the death, nor is it necessary. Just hand over Xiaocao."
Zhan Wang sneered: "I said I won't pay. Although I, Zhan Wang, am a scoundrel, I always keep my word. If I say I won't pay, I won't pay."
Zhan Xiuchen's brows furrowed even deeper.
He had some understanding of Zhan Wang's temperament.
He has always been uninhibited and doesn't take anything seriously.
But even at this point, Zhan Wang still acted recklessly.
And so, the atmosphere became tense for a moment.
The two men pointed their pistols at each other, but neither made any further move.
If it were before, Zhan Xiuchen, with his rationality, would probably have left first.
We'll decide after further consideration.
After all, the current situation is very dangerous, and he has no reason to put himself in such a dangerous situation.
But thinking about Zhan Wang's attitude, he became even more uneasy.
She's just a little girl.
Why won't Zhan Wang release them?
Are all his conjectures correct?
So that's why Zhan Wang did this?
This speculation prevented even the rational Zhan Xiuchen from leaving. He had to take Xiaocao away today, otherwise he would have no face to go back and face Shi Nian.
Just as the situation reached a stalemate, a figure suddenly stepped out.
That was Zhou Jian.
Zhou Jian went to buy candied hawthorns for Xiao Cao.
After discovering that Xiaocao liked candied hawthorns, Zhou Jian went to buy them for her every day.
As for why he bought them all at once to stock up, it was because Zhou Jian didn't want Xiao Cao to eat stale, overnight candied hawthorns.
For this reason, he even made a special request to the candied hawthorn vendor to bring him freshly made candied hawthorns every day.
If a vendor can't sell all the food and has to keep it until the next day, it's fine for them to sell it to someone else. But if they sell it to him, he'll kill the vendor.
So frightened were the vendors that every time they saw Zhou Jian, they would hand him a string of candied hawthorns, smiling obsequiously as they told him that these were the freshest candied hawthorns, made that very day, and absolutely not left overnight.
...
Seeing the stalemate between Zhan Wang and Zhan Xiuchen, Zhou Jian was also taken aback.
After regaining his senses, he quickly reached for his gun and aimed it at Zhan Xiuchen, but Zhan Wang stopped him.
Zhan Wang knew the speed at which Zhan Xiuchen was sinking.
If Zhou Jianruo really shoots at Zhan Xiuchen, Zhan Xiuchen will immediately shoot back at him.
So Zhou Jian's presence here would actually be more of a hindrance than a help.
"Get inside!" Zhan Wang said.
Zhou Jian: "........."
He was so frightened his face turned pale: "Brother Zhan, but, but, but..."
"Get out! You can't even speak properly! Get inside right now! Or I'll rip your tongue out!" Zhan Wang said with a gloomy face.
Zhou Jian: "........."
He was so frightened that he had no choice but to turn around and run back to the villa.
...
Meanwhile, the little grass inside the villa was unaware of everything happening outside.
She turned on the giant screen TV in the living room.
Little Grass likes to watch cartoons.
After discovering this, Zhan Wang replaced the original television in the living room.
This is because it is specially designed for children and does not harm their eyes.
Of course, Zhan Wang did not reveal the real reason.
When Xiaocao asked Zhanwang about the new TV, Zhanwang coldly replied, "This TV is too ugly, just like Xiaocao, so we have to replace it."
When I turned on the giant screen TV, a melodramatic drama was playing.
There is a little girl with a tragic life in this TV series.
My mother died early, and my father remarried.
His new wife was very bad; she often beat little girls.
When Xiaocao turned on the TV, it happened to show a scene where the stepmother was about to beat the little girl. The little girl screamed, "Don't hit me! Please don't hit me! Help!"
The giant screen TV was delivered today, and Xiaocao just turned it on, so the volume hasn't been adjusted.
The TV volume is at the factory setting.
The volume threshold has been reached.
Therefore, the howling that came from the TV just now almost shook the entire villa and even reached outside the villa.
It was a coincidence, or perhaps it was just bad luck.
The little girl in the TV series is about the same age as a blade of grass.
Moreover, the timbre is almost the same.
Therefore, when the howl came from the villa, Zhan Wang subconsciously thought it was Xiao Cao's voice.
Zhan Wang's expression immediately changed.
He knew that Zhou Jiantang loved Xiaocao as much as his daughter, and he would never hit Xiaocao.
So, could it be Zhan Xiuchen's person?
Zhan Xiuchen deliberately delayed him outside, while his men had already entered the villa!
Xiaocao definitely won't go with Zhan Xiuchen's people.
It's possible that Zhan Xiuchen's people forcibly tried to take Xiaocao away, which caused her harm...
The thought of the grass possibly getting hurt made Zhan Wang act impulsively.
At that moment, he disregarded everything and turned to rush into the villa.
"Bang!"
Just then, a gunshot rang out!
Zhan Wang's pupils widened suddenly, and then he collapsed to the ground.
Zhan Xiuchen was taken aback, then suddenly turned around.
It wasn't Zhan Xiuchen who fired the shot.
Instead, he was Zhan Xiuchen's secret guard.
Given Zhan Xiuchen's current situation, it's impossible for him to come alone. For safety reasons, he naturally brought his bodyguards.
The secret guards were responsible for protecting Zhan Xiuchen.
We cannot allow Zhan Xiuchen's personal safety to be threatened in the slightest.
When Zhan Wang pointed his gun at Zhan Xiuchen, the secret guards believed that he was already threatening Zhan Xiuchen's life.
When Zhan Xiuchen's life is threatened, as a bodyguard, he can fire at any time to eliminate the threat.
I just couldn't find the opportunity before.
But now that Zhan Wang has turned around, the secret guards see that this is an opportunity.
Therefore, the guards fired without hesitation!
