Chapter 155: Carefully Planned Death
Until one day, Song Baihan suddenly said to Chi Wan in a serious tone, "You should be careful recently. It seems that someone is trying to find out about you. I'm worried that it has something to do with the He family's previous arrangement in Hong Kong City.
"You should remember that I told you before that the He family has a business with a partner named Wen in northern Myanmar. Although I don't know much about their background, I have found some clues over the years.
"They are much less constrained in Hong Kong than in the mainland, so they are naturally more arrogant."
Although Chi Wan didn't know how Song Baihan had such an informed source of information while he was abroad, she was not too worried. After all, this was within her expectations.
Instead, she warned Song Baihan: "Don't worry about my safety, it's fine. As for you, I'm at least still in the dark, and you're the one who attracts all the attention. Why don't you come back? I have a way to protect you."
No matter what, they were "comrades-in-arms" for a period of time and had some friendship.
But Song Baihan rejected Chi Wan's proposal.
He said in a relaxed tone: "I just want to live one day at a time. If they really dare to come to me, I won't let myself suffer any loss. I actually hope they come."
Hearing the faint sense of death in Song Baihan's tone, Chi Wan didn't know what to say.
She could always feel that Song Baihan seemed to have lost the will to live after taking revenge.
Captain Tan had told her before that after He Yunzhen went to jail, Song Baihan, as an insider, went to see her.
The two did not quarrel, but after Song Baihan came out, he completely gave up treatment and went traveling around the world.
Chi Wan didn't know what He Yunzhen's attitude towards Song Baihan was, but after all, they had been tied together for decades. After so many years, perhaps it's not just Song Baihan who is trapped.
But Chi Wan had no way of asking about the grudges and love-hate relationship of the older generation, just as she could not persuade Song Baihan from "seeking death".
Hearing Chi Wan's somewhat powerless sigh, Song Baihan laughed out loud instead: "Wan Wan, don't look so old-fashioned. I've had a lot of fun during this period, and I feel more relaxed than ever before."
However, not long after this phone call, Song Baihan got into trouble.
It is said that he was "unlucky" and was caught in a gang fight and died from a stray bullet.
Chi Wan naturally did not believe this so-called "official announcement", especially after Song Baihan's lawyer tried to contact her and told her some inside information. She remembered that Zhou Huaian seemed to have been to Hong Kong before, so she asked him indirectly about it.
Zhou Huaian did not disappoint Chi Wan. He knew more inside information than Song Baihan's lawyer. This made Chi Wan sometimes suspect that Zhou Huaian might also be a member or even the leader of a secret intelligence organization - otherwise why could he always get these top-secret information easily?
Just like the incident with the He family and the getaway driver, before Zhou Huaian set out for Gangcheng, he was almost able to find out the whereabouts of the driver. The only reason he didn't tell Chi Wan was because he wanted more accurate information.
Anyway, after hearing Chi Wan's doubts, Zhou Huaian just laughed: "Wan Wan, you think too highly of me. I'm just a small boss. Because I run a pawn shop, my network of contacts is slightly wider."
Chi Wan did not comment on this.
But these are actually not that important.
She learned from Zhou Huaian that, just as Song Baihan had said before, even if he died, he had dealt a heavy blow to the other party.
Song Baihan somehow got in touch with the largest local Black Hand organization and started doing business. The day he was attacked happened to be the day he had agreed on a deal with the Black Hand organization.
He used his own life to put the biggest blame on the Wen family - at that time, the Wen family's business was entering the local market. Perhaps it was the experience of the He family that made them feel vulnerable, so they considered transferring their assets overseas.
What should have been a natural outcome, but because of Song Baihan's action, the Wen family directly offended the largest local force.
For a time, the Wen family was in a difficult situation and only paid a huge price to barely settle the matter.
At least on the surface it was settled.
But privately, Zhou Huaian told Chi Wan that during the transaction, not only Song Baihan died, but also a mistress of the boss of the Black Hand organization.
After knowing all this, Chi Wan was silent for a while before he said, "Brother Huai'an, these were all planned by Grandpa Song a long time ago."
When she thought Song Baihan just went out to relax, he did so many things quietly.
Chi Wan didn't know what kind of mood Song Baihan was in as he shared the exotic sunset and ocean with her while carefully planning his own death.
But because of Song Baihan's actions, Chi Wan was indeed protected.
The Wen family was so overwhelmed by the mafia's targeting that they had no extra energy to deal with her.
Chi Wan seemed to be able to see the smile of control on the gentle and thin Song Baihan's face, just like when they first met, he could tell at first glance that he was an old fox.
But he died quietly in a foreign country. If Chi Wan had not arranged for a lawyer to hand over the estate, he might have wondered where he had gone after not receiving any message from him for a long time.
Although Zhou Huaian didn't know when Chi Wan and Song Baihan became friends regardless of age difference, he roughly guessed something from the timing of the He family's downfall and Song Baihan's jumping out.
Therefore, after hearing Chi Wan's words, he just sighed: "Maybe. Mr. Song has been around the He family and He Yunzhen for so many years, and he is also a successful person. Now... maybe there are no regrets."
Chi Wan naturally knew that even if Song Baihan was fine, he might not live long because of his illness.
But with the healing capsule, at least he wouldn't be in too much pain.
Seeing that Chi Wan was in a low mood, Zhou Huaian changed the subject: "Grandpa told me a few days ago that he hadn't seen you for a long time."
After Chi Wan arrived in Beijing, although her movements were not restricted, it was a confidential project after all, and Chi Wan did not want any mistakes to happen because of her running around. Therefore, except when she was needed to negotiate with the end of the world, she stayed in the research institute to study, and she learned a lot.
When she heard Zhou Huaian talking about Mr. Zhou, she realized that so much time had passed in a flash.
"I've been studying lately, and my mind is full every day. Once this phase is over, I can go back."
Because the preliminary experiments were so effective, the country is fully supporting the development of these new energy sources and equipment for the end times. Therefore, this period of time is also the time when communication with the end of the world is the closest. Chi Wan and Li Xingye are busy every day, and they can only stay together at night.
