The customers who passed by couldn’t help casting curious gazes at Yibo and Zhan, mixed with a trace of envy.
Zhan and Yibo didn’t care about other people’s gazes at all.
One of them picked up the ingredients, and the other pushed the shopping cart.
However, the harmonious atmosphere was broken by a voice.
“Xiao Zhan?”
The man’s voice was mixed with a trace of surprise.
Zhan turned around and saw a familiar face.
After Zhan saw the man’s appearance clearly, he unconsciously raised his voice. “Haoxuan?”
“I haven’t seen you for a long time. It’s my pleasure you still remember me.” Haoxuan walked towards Zhan, his tone as gentle as ever.
Zhan had overheard Yibo’s conversation with Bowen, so he didn’t feel good when he saw Haoxuan.
Zhan only sneered.
Before he could speak, Yibo, who was pushing the shopping cart behind him, had already stepped forward to block his path, keeping Haoxuan from seeing Zhan.
“Yibo is also here. What are you doing here?” When Haoxuan saw Yibo, the smile on his face deepened.
Without saying a word, Yibo pulled Zhan away and was about to leave.
“Haoxuan, I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”
Zhan, who was about to leave, couldn’t help stopping when he heard the voice.
He turned around and saw Zanilla was nestling beside Haoxuan.
Seemingly sensing his gaze, Zanilla also looked towards him.
When Zanilla saw Zhan, her eyes widened, “Zhan? Aren’t you dead?”
Zhan curled his lips and said, “I’ve disappointed you.”
It was really unlucky to meet Haoxuan and Zanilla.
Haoxuan pretended to be angry and glared at Zanilla, “What are you saying? Those media are always talking nonsense.”
“That’s right. It’s nothing at all. It’s not rare to escape punishment through fake death. I was sent to prison last time, but you brought me out.” Zanilla smiled sweetly.
Zhan clenched his hands tightly and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
At this time, Yibo, who had been silent all this while, said faintly, “Haoxuan, take care of your own woman.”
Zanilla hurriedly hid behind Haoxuan and said coquettishly. “Haoxuan, I’m so scared.”
Yibo sneered, his brows filled with gloomy, “Do you know how much it costs to kill someone now? You can buy a person’s life for about a million yuan, isn’t it very cheap?”
Hearing Yibo’s words, Zanilla was stunned for a moment. Her eyes flashed with fear and she hid behind Haoxuan and did not dare to speak again.
She still remembered how Yibo had dealt with her back then.
She knew how perverted Yibo was. If he said that, he might really pay someone to kill her.
What Yibo had done to her had already taken root in her heart, making her feel scared when she thought about it.
Seeing that Zanilla was so afraid, Yibo sneered and pulled Zhan away.
On the way back, they were silent.
Zhan was thinking about the conversation between Yibo and Bowen.
If his daughter was really taken away by Haoxuan, and Haoxuan was still hooking with Zanilla, and Zanilla still hated him so much…..
Zhan’s face immediately turned pale.
On the other side, Yibo had been paying close attention to Zhan, so it was easy for him to find that something was wrong with Zhan.
Yibo stopped the car by the side of the road and asked him, “What’s wrong? You don’t look good.”
“Tell me, did Haoxuan take the child away?” Zhan suddenly turned his head and reached out to grab the corner of Yibo’s clothes as if he was grabbing the last straw.
Yibo’s expression froze. It turned out that Zhan had heard his conversation with Bowen.
He held Zhan’s hand and said confidently, “It’s not Haoxuan.”
Zhan shook his head and said, “Don’t lie to me anymore. I want to hear the truth. I can bear anything now.”
“I’m not lying to you.”
Yibo explained seriously to him, “Bowen only found out that the funds written to the foreign country were under Haoxuan’ account, but that doesn’t mean that he did this. He doesn’t have the ability to do so.”
It was absolutely impossible for Haoxuan to steal his child from the operating room without anyone noticing.
Zhan nodded.
He believed Yibo’s words.
Moreover, no matter how capable Haoxuan was, it was impossible for him to defeat Yibo.
He was completely convinced of this.
“Who is that?” Zhan asked him faintly. “Then who stole my child?”
Yibo could not answer this question.
It had already been a month, and he found nothing.
However, the information he gathered had targeted Haoxuan.
Haoxuan was also considered half a member of the Wang.
The Wang were involved so long as Haoxuan was involved in the clues.
In the past half a year, in order to thoroughly investigate what happened to his mother back then, he had made a big move.
While he was investigating, someone was secretly obstructing him.
If the Wang also did this, then it must have something to do with his mother back then.
Whether they were warning him or threatening him was still unclear.
Zhan was not an idiot, and he quickly thought of the same thing as Yibo.
Zhan looked at Yibo for a while and said faintly, “Is it related to Wang?”
Back then, the death of Yibo’s mother had something to do with the Wangs.
Half a year ago, Yibo’s grandfather fell down the stairs, and he was framed as the person who pushed him down the stairs.
Zhan asked in disbelief, “What exactly do they want to do?”
“No matter what they want to do, I will not let them succeed. I will bring our child back.” Yibo looked down at him with a firm expression.
Zhan loosened the corner of his clothes, “That’s not your own business. That’s also my child.”
They returned to the apartment. Zhan was not in the mood for cooking.
In the end, they had someone deliver food from the Golden Cauldron Club.
But they didn’t eat much.
It was already afternoon after meal.
Zhan didn’t bring much luggage, so he simply tidied up and called Yibo in.
Seeing his suitcase, Yibo’s expression dimmed. “What are you going to do?”
Zhan pursed his lips and took a deep breath, “Let’s split up for the time being,” he said.
Yibo narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression somewhat dangerous, “What do you mean?”
Compared to Yibo, Zhan was much calmer.
“We are not a registered couple right now. There’s no need to for us to live together. Let’s wait until we find the child.”
During this period of time, Zhan was already exhausted.
Yibo spent a month and found nothing about the child.
If Zhan stayed here, what else could he do besides endless waiting and suffering?
As for the matter between him and Yibo, he did not have any extra energy to deal with it before the child was found.
Yibo was very stubborn, “We can be lawfully bonded at any time.”
On this matter, Zhan did not compromise, “Either you let me go, or you will let the bodyguards on the third floor to look at me like before.”
He was a mother who couldn’t even protect his own child.
Every time something happened, he would always be in a completely passive state.
He didn’t want to suffer anymore.
His words seemed to have angered Yibo.
His expression instantly became exceptionally gloomy.
Zhan’s heart sank slightly.
Would Yibo let him go?
However, Yibo said, “Alright.”
Zhan was a little surprised.
But very quickly, his last sentence made Zhan’s heart sink again.
Yibo added, “But I have one condition,”
“What condition?” Zhan looked at him vigilantly.
A smile flashed in Yibo’s eyes as he gently opened his mouth and said word by word, “Let’s get a marriage certificate first.”
Zhan’s eyes widened, “What?”
Zhan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Say it again.”
Of course, Yibo did not say it again. Instead, he said, “How can we register our baby’s residence without getting married?”
Zhan was stunned.
Zhan had never thought that he would use this reason to get a marriage certificate with Yibo.
The day they received their certificates, they went to register the child.
There were three people in the household register book.
Head of Household: Yibo.
Wife: Zhan.
Daughter: Fei.
When Yibo saw that Zhan was absent-minded about the register book, he said, “I thought of this name a long time ago. It must be suitable for our child.”
Zhan reached out and gently stroked the word “Fei”.
The daughter that he had only met once was called Fei. He suddenly looked up at Yibo as if he had thought of something.
He discovered that Yibo was also staring at the word “Fei” on the register book, just like him.
Zhan said, “When she was born, she was very beautiful, like you.”
He had seen Fei before, although he only had one glance at her.
However, Yibo rushed over from afar, but he didn’t see it at all.
Yibo was indifferent, but not cold-blooded.
When the child disappeared, he should also feel uncomfortable.
Hearing this, Yibo raised his head and looked at him. After a long while, he nodded slightly and said, “Yes.”
Zhan moved out on that day.
The apartment he rented was a little far from Yibo’s high-end community.
But it was clean, and the environment was good.
In the evening, he and Ziyi met to have dinner together.
Ziyi did not know about the child.
Zhan thought Ziyi would know about this sooner or later, so he told her.
“Disappeared?”
After listening to his words, Ziyi’s reaction was as intense as he imagined. “Damn, are these people crazy? Why would they steal a young child? Are they of any humanity?”
Zhan lowered his head and remained silent.
The matter with Yibo’s mother back then, and the matter with Mr. Qiren afterwards, were sufficient to show that they were inhumane.
Ziyi was so angry that she almost cried.
Zhan poured her a glass of water. “I believe that she has her own good fortune. We will find her.”
Although Ziyi was not comforted, she knew Zhan was definitely more uncomfortable than her.
Ziyi drank a cup of water and said, “What do you plan to do now?”
“I’m temporarily separated from Yibo. I should continue to find my daughter, and my life will also continue.” He was more eager to find the child than anyone else, but the reality was that even Yibo was helpless.
He was not a flower in the greenhouse. He had suffered a lot since he was young, but nothing could defeat him.
Ziyi didn’t know what to say for a moment, so she changed the topic, “Well, did you start filming the script you signed with Dilraba?”
“It’s still in the final preparatory period. The filming should start soon.”
Ziyi reminded her, “Then you can call her. When the time comes, you can go to the scene to take a look. Perhaps they need you to provide some guidance…”
Zhan nodded.
He really needed to find something to do now.
But what surprised Zhan was that Dilraba had already taken the initiative to contact him.
The next day, he received a phone call from Dilraba.
Dilraba said bluntly, “I heard you went back to Beijing. You didn’t even contact me when you came back. You didn’t want to contact me as you already got the money, right?”
It was rare for Zhan to joke with her, “Then why did you call me?”
Dilraba laughed angrily, “Zhan, you are so arrogant.”
Zhan restrained his smile and said seriously. “Just kidding, I’ll treat you to coffee tomorrow.”
“Alright.” Dilraba agreed happily.
They met at a remote cafe,
The place was not easy to find. When Dilraba arrived, she said angrily, “I’ve been searching for such a damn place for half an hour, and I’ve been spinning around on the spot!”
“At most, I’ll treat you to two drinks.” As Zhan spoke, he called for a waiter.
Dilraba really ordered two cups of coffee.
Zhan was a little speechless. Sometimes, this young lady was a little childish.
Dilraba added sugar to the coffee and said, “You came back just in time. The shooting of ‘The Untamed’ will begin the day after tomorrow, and you should also go to the kick-off ceremony at that time.”
Zhan nodded, “Yes.”
It was his first script to be officially filmed, so he wanted to go.
Dilraba was surprised for his agreement, “You used to be a subject of talk. You might be surrounded by the media, so you need to be mentally prepared.”
Zhan said half-jokingly and half-seriously. “Isn’t this the right time? It’s just the right time to create a topic for ‘The Untamed’ and preheat it up in advance. Perhaps the show can be popular before broadcasting.”
“No!” Dilraba glared at him, “Gold will shine sooner or later. Who would want to use this method to create a topic?”
Dilraba was an upright woman who took her work seriously.
Seeing Dilraba believe it, Zhan said seriously. “This is unavoidable. Once you enter this industry, you will have to stand in front of the public and let them judge.”
Dilraba did not try to persuade him, “Alright, it’s good that you know.”
The Untamed began shooting on August 6.
It was still very hot in August.
For convenience, Zhan wore a plain shirt and black trousers.
He was beautiful even without wearing make-up, and the simple black-and-white outfit made him very attractive.
He and Dilraba agreed to meet at the downtown and then went to the shooting place together.
Dilraba shook her head and said, “Though you are no longer one of the Wangs, you don’t have to abandon yourself like this. You came out without makeup? Can you show a little respect to our crew?”
“I’m wearing light makeup.” Zhan explained as he pulled open the door and sat inside.
“Even without makeup, you’re going to beat our heroine.” Dilraba was teasing her.
Zhan smiled and did not say anything.
The opening ceremony was held at the first location, an abandoned high school in the old city site.
It took about an hour to drive from the downtown.
Today was the day that ‘The Untamed’ started shooting, Dilraba asked about Dylan as soon as she arrived, which made Zhan puzzled. Were they not preparing an online drama?
Online dramas pursued clicks, and they were not made into big-budget dramas. They would use actors who are not so famous, or the new.
And Dylan was a high-paid actor…..
Zhan touched Dilraba and asked her, “You asked Dylan to be the male actor in a leading role?”
“Right.” Dilraba was a little bit embarrassed. She looked around and brought Zhan to a corner. She said, “Don’t let Dylan know about the fight between me and Zhouxuan.”
Last time in Yibo mansion she had fight with Zhouxuan because of Dylan.
Zhan was stunned for a moment, “Alright.”
“Ms, Dilraba. ”
“I’m here.”
Zhan still wanted to ask more, but Dilraba was called away.
Zhan was curious about how much Dilraba had invested to ‘The Untamed’.
Dilraba’s assistant poured a glass of water for Zhan, “Mr. Zhan, have some water.”
“Thank you.” Zhan took the glass.
After a while, Dilraba finished her work and came back to Zhan.
“It’s too hot.” Dilraba drank some water before she turned to Zhan and said, “But the drama must be finished before winter. Then, it could be on air during the winter vacation.”
Zhan pondered for a moment and asked, “How much investment did you get? What’s the budget?”
Dilraba didn’t hide anything from him and directly said, “One billion yuan.”
“One billion?” Zhan was shocked by the figure.
One billion was a huge budget for an online drama.
“If One billion isn’t enough, I can get more investment.” Dilraba said in an easy tone.
Zhan plucked his hair off the forehead and asked softly, “Aren’t you afraid that you might not earn it back?”
Dilraba seemed to think for a moment and said, “So what? At most, I won’t cooperate with you anymore.”
She reached out to pat Zhan’s shoulder, “I’m joking. The shooting hasn’t started yet. I don’t care if I make money or not. If I have to think about the results before I do everything, how tired would I be?”
Zhan nodded, “That’s right,”
Dilraba stood up and said, “Let’s go. Let me introduce you to the crew.”
There were a lot of staff on the crew, and Zhan couldn’t recognize them all at a time.
However, it could be seen that Dilraba had the say in the crew. Because it was Dilraba who introduced Zhan to them, they were all very polite to Zhan.
When some of them heard his name, their eyes told the curiosity, but they didn’t ask any further.
After he had got acquaintance with the crew, Dylan finally showed up.
Dylan was tall and strong, with short hair and slight stubble. He was handsome, and the wheat-colored skin made him masculine.
When Dilraba saw him, she shouted, “Dylan.”
“Hi, Dilraba.” Dylan walked over and glanced at Dilraba.
Dilraba put her hand on Zhan’s shoulder and said, “Listen, this is the screenwriter of ‘The Untamed’, Xiao Zhan.”
Dylan looked at Zhan with surprise in his eyes, but he quickly moved his gaze away and said politely, “Hello, Mr. Xiao Zhan.”
Zhan smiled, “Nice to meet you! I’ve seen your movies.”
The opening ceremony went better than expected.
It went so well that after Zhan returned home, he found he was not pursued by the media.
It went exceptionally well.
Zhan thought for a moment and called Yibo.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have been waiting for her call, and it was picked up with a single ring.
“Zhan.”
Hearing Yibo’s voice, Zhan was in a trance for a moment.
After Yibo called his name, he didn’t say anything else.
They were silent for a while before Zhan broke the silence and said, “I went to the set today.”
Yibo’s tone did not change. “Got it.”
It wasn’t a secret that Zhan returned to Beijing, nor did he cooperate with Dilraba and go to the opening ceremony of ‘The Untamed’.
People in the news industry were all exceptionally alert.
It was impossible for Xiao Zhan whose life was full of drama to be ignored by the media.
At the beginning of the year, Mr. Qiren’s case caused a storm in the city. Then he set fire to Yibo’s villa, and it was said that he was burned to death.
These words are very controversial.
Zhan did not know how Yibo handled it. He only knew that there was no trace of the incident between him and Mr. Qiren on the Internet.
Everything was clearly deleted.
More than half a year had passed, and no one was discussing it anymore.
Although it was over, there was still no definite solution in the end.
The media didn’t dare to bother the Wang, but they could ask Zhan.
Yibo did not have the slightest intention to tell the truth, so Zhan directly said, “Did you send people to drive away the media?”
Yibo heard his words but remained silent.
Silence denoted consent.
Zhan took a deep breath and said, “This is my own business. I know how to handle it. Just take good care of yourself.”
He had thought carefully. Yibo was in a bad situation.
He didn’t know what secrets the Wang had, but it was clear that all of this was aimed at Yibo.
After a while, Yibo said in a low voice, “Zhan, take it easy.”
Zhan’s heart beat strongly. He was stunned for a moment before hanging up the phone abruptly.
In fact, he was already prepared to be besieged by reporters, They would definitely ask him about Mr. Qiren.
It was very likely that Fei had been taken away by some Wang. If he said something inappropriately in front of the media, those people would definitely come looking for him.
He now know why they kidnapped his daughter.
Only through the Wang could he find out where Fei was.
He could not remain passive all the time. He could not just sit there and wait for the bad results. Endless waiting would consume him and drove him crazy.
Yibo was so smart that he already knew what Zhan was thinking.
However, in this situation, Zhan had no way out.
He wanted to do something for Fei.
