SAG -Chapter 60 He Yong

At dinner that evening, Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu both noticed that Susu had become noticeably closer to Zhang Ran.

The two children ate quickly.

After finishing their meal, they ran into the bedroom to play.

“Siyan, do you know who I saw at the hospital today?”

Liu Lu asked mysteriously.

Smiling, Zhang Siyan replied, “Who?”

Ever since finalizing her divorce from Sun Gaixin that afternoon, she felt as though an enormous weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

“It was Sun Gaixin’s family.”

“It seems his parents offended someone, and both of their legs were broken.”

“It was incredibly satisfying.”

Although Liu Lu was kindhearted, she wasn’t a saint.

Both she and Zhang Sicheng had suffered plenty because of Sun Ermin and his wife.

She felt absolutely no sympathy for them.

Zhang Sicheng was hearing this for the first time.

His eyes immediately lit up.

“Really?”

“That’s wonderful!”

“They finally got what they deserved.”

But almost immediately…

The couple noticed Zhang Siyan looking at them with an odd expression before glancing at the calm-faced Zhang Ran.

“…”

Zhang Sicheng suddenly seemed to realize something.

The divorce had been finalized that afternoon…

Then Sun Ermin’s legs had been broken…

Combined with Zhang Siyan’s expression…

Only one thought remained in his mind.

It couldn’t be…

Seeing their expressions, Zhang Ran sighed.

“Stop guessing.”

“I was the one who did it.”

“Sun Ermin and I are… old acquaintances.”

He then briefly explained what had happened between him and Sun Ermin years ago.

After hearing the story, both Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu sat there in a daze.

So…

The root of everything actually traced back to Zhang Ran.

At the same time, they were astonished that Zhang Ran had experienced such things in the past.

Even after breaking someone’s leg…

He showed neither panic nor guilt.

They suddenly realized they didn’t really understand Zhang Ran at all.

Seeing the shock in their eyes, Zhang Ran changed the subject.

“By the way…”

“Are either of you working tomorrow or the day after?”

“I want to take Taotao and Susu to the amusement park tomorrow.”

“If you have time, come with us.”

Unfortunately…

Neither Zhang Sicheng’s family nor Zhang Siyan was available.

Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu planned to verify the authenticity of the necklace.

Zhang Siyan needed to sign the agency contract.

Meanwhile…

At Qian Li’s parents’ house.

“Mom, what’s wrong with Dad?”

“It’s like he can’t even see me.”

Qian Li asked while taking a huge bite of an apple.

Her mother sighed.

“It’s not ‘like.'”

“He really doesn’t see you.”

“Huh?”

“Huh??”

“Huh???”

Question marks practically appeared above Qian Li’s head.

Her mother explained, “Ever since your father came back from Old Zheng’s house, he’s been like this.”

“He barely even responds when I talk to him.”

Hearing this, Qian Li hurried over.

Before she could get close, her father cried out, “Careful!”

“Don’t be so clumsy.”

“Don’t damage my flower!”

“Dad…”

“It’s just a flower.”

“And I was the one who brought it home for you.”

Qian Li looked speechless.

Her father carefully admired the Fragrant Orchid.

“What do you know?”

“This flower really made me proud today.”

“If only you’d seen Old Zheng’s face.”

“I still laugh every time I think about it!”

“Tell me.”

Qian Li became interested.

She knew her father and Uncle Zheng were lifelong rivals.

Although they were close friends, they constantly tried to one-up each other.

Seeing her curiosity, Qian Li’s father gave her an approving look.

“You don’t know this.”

“Today Old Zheng deliberately invited all his flower-loving friends over just to show off his orchids.”

“He even tried to flaunt them in front of me.”

“Hehehe…”

As he spoke, he started laughing to himself, completely immersed in the memory.

But Qian Li already understood.

Her father had obviously stolen the spotlight today.

Looking again at the Fragrant Orchid, she had to admit…

Whether in appearance or fragrance…

It truly was exceptional.

“Don’t get too cocky.”

“Knowing Uncle Zheng, he’ll definitely find a way to get even.”

Her father snorted proudly.

“Hmph.”

“His amateur flowers think they can beat my Little Lan?”

“What a joke!”

Qian Li nearly fainted.

He even gave the flower a name?

“Dad!”

“Please!”

“Can you not be so cheesy?”

“‘Little Lan’?”

“Aren’t you afraid Mom will mistake it for your mistress and smash it?”

She exaggeratedly rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.

Her father instinctively prepared to retort.

But after seeing his wife’s half-smiling expression…

He immediately changed his attitude.

“Well…”

“My wife would never do such a thing.”

“My wife is so gentle.”

“Right, dear?”

Mother Qian didn’t say anything.

She merely gave him a satisfied look.

“Enough.”

“Stop showing off your affection in front of me.”

“I actually came home because I need your help.”

Qian Li quickly changed the subject.

Otherwise, being force-fed her parents’ romance was simply unbearable.

“I knew you wouldn’t come home unless you needed something.”

“So, what is it?”

Father Qian asked.

“I need you to help me find a lawyer who’s good at reviewing business contracts.”

“So soon?”

“I thought you were only candidates.”

Father Qian frowned.

He knew about his daughter’s situation.

Could she have been scammed?

“That’s because your daughter is just that capable.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Just find us a lawyer.”

“If the lawyer reviews the contract, we’ll know whether there’s a problem.”

Qian Li replied.

“Alright.”

“I’ll take care of it.”

Father Qian readily agreed.

Then he immediately returned to tending the Fragrant Orchid that had earned him so much glory that day.

Before going to bed that night, Zhang Ran habitually switched on the official phone he had been given.

A new message had arrived.

He Yong

Male, Han Chinese, 50 years old.

Eighteen years ago, convicted of intentional assault, organized crime involvement, and participating in violent group fights.

Sentenced to a combined prison term of 19 years and 6 months.

Due to good behavior during incarceration, his sentence was reduced by 1 year and 3 months.

Scheduled for release on November 16 of this year.

Reading the message, Zhang Ran’s eyes showed both relief…

And confusion.

If there had been anyone Zhang Ran trusted most besides Yu Qingwan…

It had been He Yong and Huo Zhiyuan.

Huo Zhiyuan depended on him because Zhang Ran had rescued her.

As for He Yong…

He had essentially been Zhang Ran’s bodyguard.

He also handled certain matters that Zhang Ran found inconvenient to deal with personally.

However…

He Yong knew nothing about Zhang Ran and Yu Qingwan’s relationship.

Their meeting had been a complete accident.

During their subsequent relationship, Zhang Ran had never brought He Yong along.

Naturally, he didn’t tell He Yong everything.

He Yong only knew there was such a woman.

He didn’t know who she actually was.

Originally, He Yong had planned to accompany Zhang Ran on this overseas trip.

But Zhang Ran wasn’t going there to handle anything dangerous.

It was merely an ordinary business trip.

More importantly…

He was going to buy an engagement ring.

At the time, He Yong also had personal matters to attend to.

So Zhang Ran hadn’t insisted that he come.

Instead, he traveled alone.

Zhang Ran could understand why people like Tian Yaohui hadn’t come to welcome him back.

But He Yong’s absence…

That truly surprised him.

When Zhang Ran met Meng He for the second time, he had asked about He Yong.

Unfortunately…

Meng He knew nothing.

After Zhang Ran’s disappearance was confirmed all those years ago…

He Yong had vanished as well.

So Zhang Ran had asked the authorities to investigate.

When it came to finding people…

No one was better than the government.

Now the results had finally arrived.

At last, Zhang Ran understood why He Yong hadn’t come to meet him.

Yet another question remained.

Based on everything Zhang Ran knew about He Yong…

He wasn’t someone who stirred up trouble.

Otherwise, Zhang Ran would never have chosen him as his bodyguard.

An intentional assault?

That was understandable.

People could lose control in the heat of the moment.

But involvement in organized crime?

That…

Zhang Ran simply didn’t believe.

He checked the date.

There were only a few more days left.

When He Yong is released…

I’ll go pick him up myself.

Then I’ll hear the whole story directly from him.
