Chapter 61: 60. He Yong (Seeking collections, seeking recommendation votes!)

During dinner that evening, Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu clearly noticed that Susu seemed even closer to Zhang Ran.

The two little ones ate their meal very quickly, and after finishing, they went to the room to play.

"Siyan, do you know who I saw at the hospital?" Liu Lu said with a mysterious look on her face.

Zhang Siyan smiled and said, "Who?"

Ever since divorcing Sun Gaixin that afternoon, she felt her whole person was much more relaxed.

"It was Sun Gaixin's whole family. His parents seem to have offended someone, and their legs were broken by someone. It really is gratifying," Liu Lu said.

Although Liu Lu was kind-hearted, she was no saint; she and Zhang Sicheng had both suffered at the hands of Sun Ermin and the others, so she felt not a shred of sympathy for those two.

Zhang Sicheng was also hearing about this for the first time, so he hurriedly asked with curiosity, "Really? That's truly great; it can be considered as venting our pent-up anger."

But very quickly, the married couple saw Zhang Siyan looking at them with a somewhat strange expression, and then she looked at the calm-faced Zhang Ran.

"Uh..." Zhang Sicheng seemed to have guessed something. The two had just divorced this afternoon, then Sun Ermin and the others had their legs broken, plus Zhang Siyan's look...

There was only one thought in Zhang Sicheng's mind right now: It couldn't be, could it?

Seeing their appearance, Zhang Ran sighed and said, "Alright, stop guessing blindly. It was me who hit them; I am an 'old acquaintance' of Sun Ermin and the others."

Afterwards, Zhang Ran recounted the matter between him and Sun Ermin. After listening, both Zhang Sicheng and Liu Lu were somewhat dazed.

It turned out the root of everything actually lay with Zhang Ran. At the same time, they were also surprised that Zhang Ran had encountered such things in the past, and that he felt no panic or psychological burden after breaking someone's legs.

This also made them feel as if they couldn't quite understand Zhang Ran anymore.

Seeing the surprised looks on the two, Zhang Ran changed the subject: "By the way, are you two working tomorrow or the day after? I want to take Taotao and Susu to the amusement park tomorrow; if you have time, let's go together."

However, neither Zhang Sicheng and his wife nor Zhang Siyan had the time.

Zhang Sicheng and his wife were going to inquire about the true situation of the necklace tomorrow, while Zhang Siyan had to go sign a contract.

"Mom, look at what's wrong with Dad? How is it like he didn't even see me?" Qian Li asked while taking a fierce bite of an apple.

Qian Ma sighed and said, "It's not 'like' it; he just didn't see you."

"Hm? Hm hm?? Hm hm hm???" Many question marks popped up on Qian Li's forehead.

Qian Ma said, "Ever since your dad came back from Uncle Zheng's place, he's been like this. Never mind you, even when I greet him, he can't be bothered to respond."

Once Qian Li heard this was the situation, she hurriedly ran to Qian Ba's side, but before she could get close, Qian Ba said urgently, "Don't be so clumsy, be careful, don't break my flower."

"Dad, is it necessary? Isn't it just a pot of flowers? And it's one I brought back for you," Qian Li said, speechless.

Qian Ba looked at the Fragrant Orchid carefully and said, "What do you know? This flower really saved face for me today. You didn't see Old Man Zheng's long face; I want to laugh just thinking about it, hahaha."

"How so?" Qian Li became interested. She knew her dad and Uncle Zheng were a pair of rivals; don't look at how good their relationship was, the two always liked to find a sense of superiority over the other.

Hearing Qian Li's cooperative inquiry, Qian Ba gave her a 'you're pretty good' expression, then said, "You don't know, today Old Man Zheng specifically found some of his flower-loving friends to show off his flowers, and even deliberately flaunted them in front of me, hehehe."

As he spoke, Qian Ba started laughing to himself, directly immersing himself in his own world.

However, Qian Li understood just hearing this much; it was clearly her dad who had stolen the spotlight in front of Uncle Zheng. She looked at this pot of Fragrant Orchid again; it was indeed quite good in both appearance and scent.

"Alright, don't get too smug. Given Uncle Zheng's temperament, he will definitely find a way to get back at you," Qian Li reminded him.

Qian Ba said with a haughty look, "Hmph, with that second-rate stuff of his, he could beat my Little Lan? What a joke!"

Qian Li felt she couldn't take it anymore. He had already given it a name?

"Dad, Dad, I beg you, can you not be so mushy? 'Little Lan'? Aren't you afraid Mom will treat it like a mistress and smash it?" Qian Li shuddered.

Qian Ba subconsciously wanted to act tough for a moment, but then he saw his wife's half-smiling expression and immediately switched to a smiling face, "What's that, your mom would never do that. My wife is such a gentle person, right, wife?"

Qian Ma didn't speak, but she gave him a satisfied look.

"Alright, you two stop showing off your affection in front of me. I came back today because I have something I need your help with," Qian Li immediately changed the subject, otherwise, being fed dog food by her parents was really hard to take.

"I knew you wouldn't come back if you didn't have something. Speak, what is it?" Qian Ba said.

"It's that I want you to help me find a lawyer who specializes in commercial contracts," Qian Li said.

"Signing a contract so soon? Didn't you say you were just a candidate?" Qian Ba also knew about Qian Li's affairs, so he was a bit suspicious. His own girl wouldn't have been scammed, would she?

"It's because your daughter is excellent. Don't worry about so much; anyway, if you help me find a lawyer and let him look at the contract for us, won't we know?" Qian Li said.

"Fine, leave this to me." Once Qian Ba heard this, he thought it made sense, so he agreed offhandedly, then started carefully tending to the Fragrant Orchid that had brought him so much glory today.

Before Zhang Ran went to sleep that night, he habitually opened the phone gifted by the authorities and found a message.

"He Yong, male, Han ethnicity, 50 years old. Eighteen years ago, due to intentional injury, organized crime, and gathering a crowd for a brawl, the circumstances were serious. He was sentenced to 19 years and 6 months in prison for multiple crimes.

Due to good behavior during his sentence, his term was reduced by one year and three months. He will be released from prison on November 16th of this year."

Seeing this message, there was both a sense of relief and a sense of doubt in Zhang Ran's eyes.

If one were to say who Zhang Ran trusted most back then besides Yu Qingwan, it was He Yong and Huo Zhiyuan.

Huo Zhiyuan was very dependent on him because she had been saved by Zhang Ran.

And He Yong, truthfully speaking, was actually Zhang Ran's bodyguard, and he also helped Zhang Ran handle some matters that were inconvenient for him to handle himself.

However, He Yong was not clear about his affair with Yu Qingwan. Zhang Ran and Yu Qingwan's meeting was an accident to begin with, and in their subsequent interactions, Zhang Ran never brought He Yong along; he couldn't let He Yong know about everything either.

He Yong only confirmed that such a person existed, but he didn't know who it was.

Originally, when Zhang Ran went abroad this time, He Yong had prepared to follow, but Zhang Ran wasn't going there to look for trouble; it was just some normal commercial matters, and the main purpose was the engagement ring.

And at the time, He Yong also had some personal matters, so Zhang Ran didn't let him follow and went by himself.

If it were Tian Yaohui and those people, Zhang Ran could understand, but He Yong not coming made Zhang Ran somewhat surprised.

The second time he met Meng He, Zhang Ran asked about He Yong's situation, but Meng He didn't know either. When Zhang Ran was confirmed to have had an accident, He Yong had disappeared.

Afterwards, Zhang Ran asked people for help, and when it came to finding people, no one could compare to the authorities, and the results came out today.

Now Zhang Ran knew why He Yong hadn't come to pick him up, but at the same time, Zhang Ran was also somewhat puzzled.

According to Zhang Ran's understanding of He Yong, he was not a person who would stir up trouble, otherwise, Zhang Ran wouldn't have chosen him to be his bodyguard.

If it were intentional injury, Zhang Ran could understand; after all, when one's head gets hot, such things are very easy to happen.

But to say he was involved in organized crime, Zhang Ran didn't believe it.

Zhang Ran looked at the time; it was only a few days away. He thought he would go pick him up and ask him then.
