The two embarked on their journey back.
Along the way, Zhan Beijue instructed Ah Zhong.
"Starting from Tang Xueying's birth, investigate all her financial transactions and travel records, one by one."
"If Jiang Nan Fang is telling the truth, I don't believe she won't slip up."
Ah Zhong replied, "I've already checked her travel records. I started as soon as you gave me the task."
"All her travel records stopped six years ago. For the past six years, not even a record of her taking public transportation can be found."
"It's as if she vanished into thin air, and I was at my wit's end, so I sought out a detective."
Zhan Beijue was surprised.
He hadn't expected the situation to be like this.
"If she can't be found domestically, what about abroad? As Jiang Nan Fang said, if she illegally left the country, she wouldn't have records domestically during these six years. Go to Dan Country and investigate her travel records and financial situation."
"I don't have the authority," Ah Zhong said. "This might require you to negotiate personally."
"I'll handle it. Book the earliest flight, and leave for Dan Country today."
"Alright."
"Do you need me to call your girlfriend and explain personally? Lest you have to apologize again later."
"..."
At a time like this, Zhan Beijue still had the mood for dark humor?
Ah Zhong smiled, "No need. I've been doing a lot of thinking these past two days."
"Perhaps we really aren't compatible. I don't want to force it anymore."
"There's no point in holding onto a heart that won't warm up. If it's over, it's over."
"So, it's over?"
"Yes."
Zhan Beijue nodded, unsure what to make of it. "That's good."
"..."
As they were driving towards the company, Zhan Beijue's phone rang.
He looked at it; it was Gong Beibei.
He decisively locked the screen and didn't answer.
Unexpectedly, Ah Zhong's phone rang next, it was the housekeeper.
"Assistant Zhong, is Young Master with you? It's bad, Madam has fallen ill!"
The two rushed to the hospital. Outside the neurological emergency room, Gong Beibei was wiping away tears alone.
Zhan Beijue walked over, making a call to Director Gao, and upon seeing him, Gong Beibei's sobs intensified.
"Ah Jue, woo woo, it's one thing if you don't want me, but you don't even care about Aunt Zhou's life or death."
"I never expected you to become like this for that woman, woo woo, I feel like I don't even recognize you anymore..."
The scandal of her jumping off the building that night was suppressed by Zhan Beijue with a large sum of money.
Moreover, he had given her father a substantial breakup fee after their "breakup," so Zhan Beijue felt he owed her nothing.
There was no need for her to cry in front of him.
They were all adults; they knew in their hearts how much was genuine affection and how much was pretense.
"Thank you for making the trip to send her to the hospital. I can take care of her from now on, you can go back."
"..."
After all the hardship and twists and turns, she finally met him, only to receive this sentence?
Gong Beibei was naturally unwilling to give up, and with tears streaming down her face, she tried to reach for him.
"Ah Jue..."
Ah Zhong reached out and stopped her.
"Miss Gong, I think President Zhan has made himself clear. There's no need for you to say anything further. Please leave."
Director Gao emerged from the emergency room.
Zhan Beijue didn't spare Gong Beibei another glance as he went to meet him, and the two began to talk in low voices.
Looking at his tall and handsome figure, the body that had just held someone else now so cold towards her.
In this moment, Gong Beibei felt unprecedented humiliation and hatred.
Good. Zhan Beijue.
You are ruthless, heartless, and realistic!
I'll go back, I'll leave!
I will never appear before you again to humiliate myself and let you treat me like dirt!
You dare to slap my face so publicly, just you wait.
If you and Jiang Nan Fang can have a good ending and live a peaceful day, then I've lived my life in vain!
Wiping away her tears, Gong Beibei stormed downstairs aggressively.
As she walked out, she called Huo Dongning.
"How are the arrangements in Dan Country coming along? Hurry! This woman has already been arrested, hurry up and crush her!"
Huo Dongning was in high spirits. "It's all arranged. Don't worry, even the King of Heaven can't find fault."
"This time, she's dead for sure!"
Ah Zhong embarked on his journey to Dan Country, while Zhan Beijue personally attended to his mother at the hospital.
Upon waking and seeing her unpromising son finally come to see her, Madam Zhan's eyes welled up with tears.
"Who told you to come? To see me? President Zhan is busy with important matters, I can't handle it. Go fall in love quickly!"
Zhan Beijue knew that his mother had been sulking since he left home, and coupled with the near-accident today, her scolding him was normal.
He had no right to retort; she could scold him as much as she wanted.
Unexpectedly, seeing his silence, his mother started scolding Jiang Nan Fang again.
"Didn't you hear me tell you to leave? That vixen went inside, has nowhere else to go, and then remembers me, your useless mother?"
"You don't need to worry about me. You've disgraced the Zhan family completely, I don't have a son as useless as you."
"The whole world knows that woman broke the law, and you were still holding her at such a time. Zhan Beijue, you are truly infatuated."
"I never thought my son, whom I raised for over ten years, would be like your father, a love-struck fool who can't distinguish right from wrong."
"Useless, you'll end up like him, dragged down by women."
"Let's sever our mother-son relationship sooner rather than later, or I'll be angered to death by you."
What?
He had explicitly warned them, and yet someone dared to report Jiang Nan Fang's matter?
Zhan Beijue's focus was solely on Jiang Nan Fang's words.
After his mother finished speaking, he was furious and immediately took out his phone to call the legal department.
"Sue! Sue them all! All media outlets that mention my Zhan Beijue today, no settlements, sue them all!"
"Demand both emotional and material compensation. They want to exploit me? Make them bankrupt!"
Then, he said to his mother with a stern face.
"Since you're still angry, and you find me displeasing to the eye, I won't stay here to upset you."
"Call me when your anger subsides. I'll return to the company first."
"You..."
His mother had thought that this tough attitude would force him to break ties with Jiang Nan Fang.
Unexpectedly, with him suing the media and confronting her, her recently lowered blood pressure "whooshed" back up.
Her eyes rolled back, her mouth twisted, her fingers twitched, and she fell ill again.
A moment later, Director Gao rushed back, sweating profusely.
The two stood outside the emergency room, and he, with a heavy heart, advised Zhan Beijue.
"You can't anger her anymore. Madam Zhan not only has high blood pressure but also a certain degree of cerebellar infarction. If you continue to anger her, the chance of stroke or cerebral infarction, and subsequent paralysis, is very high."
"If you consider her your mother, put aside your romantic entanglements for now. Even if you feign compliance, you cannot oppose her any longer."
Zhan Beijue said indifferently, "With you here, I am very reassured about her."
"I know you mean well, I understand, I'm aware."
"Thank you for your trouble today. One last question."
Director Gao, "Don't be polite with me, ask."
"Will the hospital's subsequent modification of patient records on the computer leave a record of the modification time?"
