CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 327: STUNNED EVERYONE

Ningwan knew that Zhan Hanjue must have been fully prepared to come and save people, and to be bold enough to report it to the police and have Wan Yufeng arrested.

But she didn’t expect the preparations to be so thorough.

Hardly any time was wasted, and Wan Yufeng was quickly convicted of crimes such as hiring a hitman, illegal detention, and even illegal drug development, and was sentenced to death.

The speed was so fast that Ningwan couldn’t even react.

The great tree of Wan Yufeng fell just like that, and the Wan Group’s stock also plummeted into a slump.

However, at this time, Wan Tianyi, who always had little presence, stepped up to take on the great responsibility of the Wan Group.

Although he was previously the Little President Wan, he was just idling.

He held a sinecure and didn’t do any serious work at all.

With Wan Yufeng around, no one expected him to do anything serious either.

And everyone knew, given Wan Yufeng’s love for Tang Xiaowan, that even if the Wan Group were to have heirs, it would be the two children born to Tang Xiaowan.

As for Wan Tianyi, having food and drink in this lifetime and being a second-generation heir of the Wan Group was the happy ending that everyone wanted to see.

But no one expected Wan Yufeng to fall so quickly.

The other shareholders of the Wan Group were completely unprepared, and at this time, no one dared to step forward and take charge alone.

Wan Tianyi stepped forward, and everyone was first surprised, then disdainful.

But soon, Wan Tianyi used lightning-fast methods to bring the Wan Group back to life, stunning everyone.

Ningwan was quite astonished upon hearing this news as well.

She immediately asked Zhan Hanjue, "Did you know something about Wan Tianyi?"

"Without him, it wouldn’t have been so easy to gather evidence of Wan Yufeng’s crimes and bring him to justice so quickly," Zhan Hanjue explained.

As expected, Ningwan frowned. No wonder Zhan Hanjue could topple Wan Yufeng so quickly; there truly was an inside helper.

"But, why would he do that?" Ningwan asked, puzzled.

Zhan Hanjue looked at her. "As the eldest son, with his mother’s fate unknown and a father who loves his stepchildren solely. Do you think as Wan Tianyi, there would be no thoughts in his heart?"

"But?"

"But he shows great respect for Wan Yufeng and is very courteous and respectful to your mother as well. Even to his two half-siblings, he shows great affection, doesn’t he?"

Ningwan kept silent.

Zhan Hanjue raised his hand to touch her cheek and said softly, "Wanwan, there are people in this world who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. They just need to wait for an opportunity, and they can turn the tide. Wan Tianyi is such a person. So, you must decide quickly whether to take your mother and those two children away. Right now, all Wan Tianyi’s energy is still focused on the company. Once the company is completely stable, he might not be so willing to let the two children leave."

"Are you saying, he won’t let Wan Tianning and Wan Tianci go?" Ningwan frowned.

Zhan Hanjue said, "No one would want to leave potential dangers around. Moreover, the two of them have more inheritance rights than he does. Those people in the company submit to Wan Tianyi now just because he is an adult and can take charge. Once stability is achieved, some people will become restless. Wan Yufeng also has some loyal old subordinates who refuse to give up. At this time, having Wan Tianning and Wan Tianci kept under Wan Tianyi’s watch is the most reassuring thing for him. As to how they are ’kept’ and what they turn into, that depends on Wan Tianyi."

"I’ll go find my mom right away and have them leave with us," Ningwan said immediately.

Zhan Hanjue left with her.

The two went to find Tang Xiaowan.

Tang Xiaowan was still living in the Wan family mansion.

Actually, her memory only partially recovered. She remembered having a daughter and a husband, but couldn’t recall specific details clearly.

Chen Wen suggested hypnosis to see if it might help her recover everything.

However, Ningwan refused.

"If she can’t remember, so be it. Let me remember those beautiful memories alone. If she can’t recall, she won’t be so tormented, which is actually quite good."

Not remembering won’t make it as painful; she won’t feel guilty towards her and her father.

However, Tang Xiaowan wasn’t entirely willing to stay here.

It’s just that the two children refused to leave, and she couldn’t do anything about it.

Ningwan had come a few times before, but each time she was driven away by Wan Tianning and Wan Tianci.

They wouldn’t let her step into the Wan family and treated her like an enemy.

This time, when Ningwan arrived, the servants told Wan Tianning.

Wan Tianning heard, enraged, and took her little whip and stormed out.

The thirteen-year-old girl was already about the same height as Ningwan, only thinner.

She looked a lot like Ningwan, after all, they were half-sisters from the same mother, resembling their mother more.

"Ningwan, you still have the face to come here. You ruined my dad, you evil woman."

Wan Tianning lashed out with her whip.

However, the whip didn’t land on Ningwan but was caught by Zhan Hanjue.

"Jue, are you okay?" Ningwan frowned.

There is always force with force, and catching the whip barehanded must have hurt him.

Zhan Hanjue shook his head. "It’s nothing."

Then he sternly scolded Wan Tianning, "Wan Tianning, you’re already thirteen, not a child anymore. Do you know how much it hurts to strike someone with a whip? If Wanwan got hurt today, I wouldn’t have let you off easily."

"What do you plan to do to me? Bullying me because I don’t have a dad?" Wan Tianning’s voice was teary from being scolded by Zhan Hanjue, yet she still stubbornly refused to relent.

Zhan Hanjue sneered, "Are you the only one in the world without a dad? Ningwan doesn’t have one, and neither do I. Moreover, our fathers were possibly killed by your father. What right do you have to seek revenge on us?"

Wan Tianning: "..."

"It’s impossible. My dad is the best dad in the world; he couldn’t hurt anyone."

"He’s the best father because he’s your father. If those pieces of evidence weren’t real, why would he be sentenced to death? Wan Tianning, you are not a child, so I don’t need to tell you these truths. You should understand."

"You’re lying; you’re deliberately lying to deceive me."

Wan Tianning dropped the whip angrily, turned around, and ran away crying.

Ningwan shook her head helplessly and quickly had Zhan Hanjue discard the whip, taking out an ointment to apply to his hand for bruising.

"I’m fine, but don’t blame me for being so harsh on her. She’s not Wan Tianci; she’s already thirteen and attending a foreign language high school. She understands many things. Treating her as a child would only lead her thoughts astray."

"I know, I don’t blame you," Ningwan said. "You did well, and you’re right; it’s important for her to understand many things. Alright, let’s go find Mother first. Persuading her to leave with them is what’s most important."
