Chapter 207: The Mysterious Person

Li Zong was moved to tears of gratitude toward the Chairman, but Jian Yining knew this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him.

He didn't even know what had happened, so how could he possibly help his son resolve trouble back home?

This matter was definitely linked to Sheng Hanyu; Jian Yining would not think he was a good person just because he gave a slap and then a sweet date.

He went to the place where Sheng Hanyu was staying to settle the score.

Bodyguards were guarding the entrance, blocking him from entering.

Jian Yining had come to settle the score, so naturally, his tone was not pleasant: "Get lost. If you don't move, I won't be polite to you."

"Bang."

Jian Yining took a punch to the nose and fell to the ground in a very pathetic manner.

"What are you doing? You didn't even ask who it was before attacking. Help Jian Xiansheng up and apologize." Sheng Hanyu came out and stood at the door, playing the good guy.

The bodyguards agreed and went to help Jian Yining up, but he angrily shook them off. He stood up by leaning against the wall, finding Sheng Hanyu an eyesore no matter how he looked at him.

He couldn't help but mock: "You really are becoming more and more capable. Although your temper was foul before, at least you were still a good person. Now you're playing both sides of the law; I don't know if you're a human or a ghost."

"Come in, your nose is bleeding."

Sheng Hanyu didn't care at all about being mocked; he invited him into the room and had a waiter bring ice cubes to apply to his nose to reduce the swelling and pain.

Before Jian Yining could speak, he stated his intent for him: "You came for Li Zong's matter, right? I didn't do anything to his son, and I even indirectly helped him solve a problem he couldn't handle. It would be very unreasonable for you to settle the score with me over this."

"However, if you want to thank me or tell me some information, I am very willing to listen. Would you like some coffee? I don't have anything else here, would you like some black coffee?"

The pitch-black coffee, like ink, had no sugar or milk added. He drank it with great relish, while Jian Yining felt it would be bitter to the heart just by looking at it.

He hurriedly refused: "No need, you drink it yourself."

He had originally come to settle the score, but after hearing him say that, it seemed there was some logic to it.

He was a bit curious: "Hanyu Ge, you never drank coffee before. Can you actually drink something this bitter?"

Sheng Hanyu had never drunk coffee before, simply because he felt it was too bitter.

He would even find it bitter if sugar were added. Now, seeing him drink it with such relish and looking so satisfied, Jian Yining really couldn't imagine how he managed to swallow it.

"Do you want to try?"

He smiled and picked up a cup to pass to Jian Yining, but the steam rising from it emitted an unpleasant smell.

Jian Yining hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, I can't drink it."

So Sheng Hanyu opened the refrigerator and took out mineral water for him. This time Jian Yining took it, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip: "When are you going back? I'll see you off." He was one step away from directly kicking him out.

"Go back where?" Sheng Hanyu asked, knowing the answer.

Jian Yining grew anxious: "Back to Jiangzhou, of course. Haven't you finished everything you were supposed to do here? It's only been a few days, and Tianma is almost bankrupt because of you. Haven't you vented your anger yet?"

Sheng Hanyu shook his head: "I have never treated Tianma as an opponent, nor have I ever treated you, A Ning, as an enemy. Besides, I haven't done anything, so where would the venting of anger come from?"

Jian Yining was almost angered to the point of fainting.

Good heavens, in these past few days, there was almost no one locally who didn't know the name "Sheng Hanyu."

People knew that a near-godlike figure had come from the mysterious East, possessing immense power yet keeping a low profile, and in less than a week, he had almost forced the famous Tianma Group into a dead end.

Now he was actually feigning innocence, saying he hadn't done anything.

What else did he want to do?

Jian Yining knew what he wanted, but he couldn't give what Sheng Hanyu wanted.

Not only could he not give it, but he had to hide it at all costs.

He believed Sheng Hanyu had no evidence, and it was precisely because there was no evidence that he had come here to pressure him.

If there were evidence and he could find the place, he would have charged over directly and wouldn't be wasting his breath here.

Jian Yining and Sheng Hanyu talked in the room for an entire afternoon, basically revolving around one topic.

No matter what, he just insisted that Yingzi was dead, that she had died five years ago, and that even her remains hadn't been found!

Jian Yining came out of the hotel in a pretty good mood.

Sheng Hanyu seemed to believe his words; his expression grew worse and worse, and later he simply chased him out.

But he didn't stay happy for long, because although the company's crisis was resolved, Sheng Hanyu showed no signs of returning to Jiangzhou.

It was just as he himself had said; it seemed he really intended to fight a protracted war with him here!

He endured for a long time.

Jian Yining still couldn't help but dial that number: "Don't go against Sheng Hanyu anymore; he has already tracked me down here."

The person on the other end sounded somewhat apologetic: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to cause you so much trouble."

"It's not about me, it's just that Sheng Hanyu is targeting me now, and I'm afraid he'll follow the trail to you. It's better if we have less contact in the future."

"Heh..."

The person on the other end didn't take Sheng Hanyu to heart: "I'm not afraid of him. Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. It's fine to let him find his way here; I want to see just how much energy he has and if he's as godlike as the rumors say!"

Jian Yining tried to persuade them for a long time, but the person on the other end had made up their mind.

Not only did they not care, but they also wanted to come over in person.

If they came, it would be a clash of titans; it was hard to say who would end up at a disadvantage!

Jiangzhou, Jian Family.

Lady Jian was secretly shedding tears while watching the news in the living room.

The news that Sheng Hanyu had almost bankrupted Jian Yining in the six days he had been in the United States had already reached Jiangzhou.

Just a moment ago, Jian Xiansheng had scolded his wife again, blaming her for acting recklessly with their daughter back then, which had chilled their son's heart and sent him far away to a foreign land. Even after so many years, he was still being pursued and retaliated against by Sheng Hanyu!

Their son had not had it easy abroad these past few years, being all alone without even the concern of a relative. Every time they thought of it, the couple felt as if their hearts were being twisted by a knife.

Lady Jian just cried; she regretted it so much that her intestines were turning green. If time could be turned back, she would definitely not have chosen to do that back then.

If the child in Shi Youxuan's womb had been born safely back then, they would be in kindergarten by now.

If she hadn't blindly indulged her daughter back then, but instead persuaded her to let go, not only would her son not have left, but her daughter would have long since found her own happiness.

Sheng Zerong likes Jian Yixin; this has long been an open secret in Jiangzhou!

But her daughter has never accepted him; she still has a knot in her heart that hasn't been untied.

It's just that regret is useless; everything has already happened, and she never argues back when her husband scolds her, she just sheds tears in secret, just like she is doing now.

She misses her son, misses him so, so much!

Jian Yixin came down the stairs and felt very distressed to see her mother like this.

She hugged her mother's waist from behind, rested her head gently on her mother's shoulder, and said softly, "Mom, let's go find A Ning. I will apologize to him and ask him to return to our family."

Lady Jian stopped crying: "Will he agree to come back? After all, we haven't been in contact for five years; will A Ning be estranged from us?"

Although she said this, in reality, she couldn't help but be eager to try.

Now is an opportunity.

Although her son has been alone outside all these years, he has built a very large business, doing better than several generations of the Jian Family, so even if they wanted to acknowledge their son and bring him back, they felt a bit embarrassed.

But it's different now; he is going through his most difficult time, so if family doesn't help now, when would they?
