Before the old man could finish his question, Zuo Hanchengâs cold gaze lingered on him for a few seconds. After a moment, he curled his lips coldly and said,ââGrandpa, do you think that the barrier between us is just a few glass fragments?â
The old manâs face froze and he frowned. It was obvious that he could not explain what happened to Rong Xue.
He did not know how to face Zuo Hancheng when he asked him back with such an attitude. He held back the curses that he wanted to say.
Now that Gu Anhao was injured because she had saved Zuo Yue, Zuo Hancheng had been suppressing his emotions to maintain the peace in the family. However, everyone could see that Zuo Hanchengâs patience had reached a critical point because of the innocent Gu Anhao. If he were to anger Zuo Hancheng again, the rift between the grandfather and grandson would probably never be completely repaired.
The old man changed the topic.â The Zuo family has never been involved in the underworld. Although it is not uncommon to see people committing crimes with guns in the United States, the bullet was obviously aimed at Zuo Yue. Gu Anhao is innocent, but Hancheng, donât forget that when you first started your foundation in the United States ten years ago, I warned you that the Zuo family would not allow anyone to be involved in the underworld!â
âBack then, you would at least listen to me. Now, I know that your wings are getting stronger and stronger, but I will never allow you to use any of the forces related to those people back then because of Gu Anhao!â
At this point, the old man suddenly said with a heavy gaze,âIâve heard some news in the past few years. Although youâve always avoided the Zuo familyâs eyes and ears, itâs obvious that those people have never really left you. You can simply investigate Zuo Yue and Xu Chengfeng through your connections. I know you have the ability to settle this matter, but since you donât intend to let Gu Anhao get involved in these areas that she has never come into contact with, you should keep your position and be the CEO of Shengling Group. As for the rest, pretend that nothing happened.â
After saying that, the old man did not want to say anything more, nor did he look at Zuo Hanchengâs eyes anymore. He could imagine what kind of attitude he would have now.
Uncle Chen pushed the old man further and further away. The old man narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of Zuo Yue Pavilion.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had returned to ten years ago. At that time, Zuo Hancheng, who was only in his early twenties, had sworn in front of him that he would never be involved in the underworld again after Shengling Group was officially listed in the United States.
This oath seemed to have never been broken, but it also seemed to have never been fulfilled.
On the surface, Zuo Hancheng looked like he was just standing at the top of Shengling Group, busy with all the processes and matters that he should be busy with as the president of a multi-national corporation. However, when he moved Shengling Group to China eight years ago, he quickly wiped out the business circle in City A and established the companyâs foundation there. It was absolutely impossible for him to say that he did not use any tricks.
He had turned a blind eye to it all these years and was unwilling to stop it, mostly because he trusted Zuo Hancheng.
No matter what he did, he had his own plans and decisions, and he would not go overboard. However, after so many years of peace and quiet on the surface, no one could imagine how far the forces behind him had developed.
He could only hope
Gu Anhaoâs inexplicable injury should not become the fuse of any incident
Uncle Chen pushed the old man away. Father Zuo looked at the direction the old man left in silence. After a moment, he turned to look at Zuo Hancheng.
The coldness in Zuo Hanchengâs eyes had already dissipated, but his expression was dull and one could not tell what he was thinking. Father Zuo said softly,ââHancheng, are you hiding something from us?â
Zuo Hanchengâs gaze silently fell on Father Zuo.
âAlthough your mother and I like Anhao very much, we have a rough understanding of what happened three years ago. Although you have avoided the Zuo familyâs ears and ears, we still found out something through some channels. Anhao was not the daughter of Mayor Gu Tianming, so her surname might not be Gu.âFather Zuo said as he looked at Zuo Hanchengâs calm face.
âWith your usual efficiency, itâs impossible that you didnât investigate her background after knowing that she had nothing to do with the Gu family. However, we havenât heard anything in the past few years, but you must have investigated. Itâs just that you didnât reveal it to the public. So what was Anhaoâs background like? You never seemed to plan on mentioning it.â
Zuo Hanchengâs eyes were as clear as a spring, but he stood quietly outside the door and did not answer Father Zuoâs question.
Until Father Zuo looked at her with a strange intuition.âHancheng, if Anhaoâs background was simple, you wouldnât hide it. So, what exactly is her background? If her surname wasnât Gu, then what was her surname?â
Zuo Hancheng glanced at him and did not hide anything.ââHer surname is An, from the An family in New York.â
The doubt in Father Zuoâs eyes turned into shock.ââ The Andersons in New York?!â
Seeing that Zuo Hanchengâs eyes were indifferent and did not seem to be joking, Father Zuo frowned.ââ The Andersons arenât ordinary people. You know what the old man is most angry about is that you and Anhao donât match in social status. If sheâs really a child of the Andersons in New York, then you can tell the old man about this and he wonât make things difficult for you anymore â
âIf itâs really that simple, then that would be great.âZuo Hanchengâs eyes narrowed as he looked at the direction where the old man had already walked away. In the dark night, it was mottled and cold. He said in a light voice,ââItâs a pity that Grandpa is the same as the old master of the An family. He doesnât allow anyone in the family to get involved in the underworld. Anhaoâs background wasnât that simple, and there wouldnât be a good ending for her if she told him about it here.â
Although Father Zuo was hesitant, he knew Zuo Hanchengâs style very well. If he could not completely control and confirm something, he would never say a word to outsiders.
Speaking of which, there should be something that went beyond his expectations and went out of his control. However, Father Zuo knew that he couldnât ask what it was, so he didnât ask anymore.
In the room, the window was closed to prevent the wind from blowing on Anhaoâs wound that had just been treated.
Before Zuo Hancheng walked back to his room, he closed the door to prevent the wind from entering. However, the stuffy heat in the room made Anhao, who was sleeping, frown uncomfortably. Sweat was already dripping down her forehead. The hands that had been quietly placed by her sides moved slightly. It was obvious that the effects of the anesthesia had gradually worn off.
Zuo Hancheng entered the room, the bed was fine, and he was frowning. His fingers were slightly closed, and he clenched his fists. His eyes slowly opened, and his blurry vision gradually regained focus. His whole body was still numb, and he was not sure what he was doing. While his consciousness was slowly recovering, Zuo Hanchengâs figure walked into her vision.
