Chapter 256: Something's Wrong with Nan Jiaojiao

Old Master Han was truly angered, yet he knew that today’s matter had been decisively taken up by the Gao and Lu families; without handing over Han Qi, there would be no peaceful resolution.

But Han Qi was the Han Family’s mainstay, the sole business prodigy; if he collapsed, so would the Han Family.

Thinking of this, Old Master Han’s tone softened, “Go easy on him.”

He had never begged anyone in his life; now, he was asking two youngsters.

Gao Zhe granted him this face, “Rest assured, I will stop it.”

The words fell, and he nodded politely, then turned to face Lu Zhenzhen, his gaze intensely scrutinizing her, “What’s the situation?”

Lu Zhenzhen feigned calmness, “Something’s wrong with the baby; I don’t dare to touch her.”

Gao Zhe glanced at Nan Jiaojiao, sighed, “Don’t come looking for a quarrel with me afterwards.”

Lu Zhenzhen almost instantly understood his meaning and panicked, “What’s the time for quarrels?

Just take the baby away first.”

Calling her the baby repeatedly as if he was dead.

Gao Zhe didn’t erupt, but spoke softly, “Excuse me,” bent down, and lifted Nan Jiaojiao, carrying her to his car.

Lu Zhenzhen followed and squeezed into the back seat.

Gao Zhe’s brows lightly furrowed as he eyed Lu Zhenzhen in the car, her face tense and her mind completely focused on Nan Jiaojiao.

He pursed his lips thinly for a moment, then gently closed the door, and sat down in the driver’s seat.

They left the way they had come, low-key yet imposing.

When the Han Family members and guests saw roughly twenty to thirty cars trailing behind Gao Zhe’s vehicle as they left the old mansion, they were so shocked they dared not breathe heavy.

No wonder they were so confident.

Several groups had come, directly bringing several mercenary corps!

Moreover, they stayed in their cars, never once stepping out.

If the Han Family had truly dared to block them, they would have been shot into beehives at once.

The sensible guests exchanged glances, all shocked and of one mind thinking that to leave safely today, anything they’d seen or heard could not be leaked, or the consequences would be unimaginable.

Along the way, Lu Zhenzhen kept talking to Nan Jiaojiao, but Nan Jiaojiao seemed to have lost three souls and seven spirits, her eyes vacant without focus, her complexion numb, deaf to everything around her, her whole person trapped within a vortex, so distressed she had enclosed herself, automatically blocking out the outside world.

Lu Zhenzhen started crying out of fear, utterly panicked, “Ah Zhe, the baby isn’t responding to me, what should I do, I’m so scared!”

Gao Zhe looked at her through the rearview mirror, “Don’t panic, call Mr.

Pei.”

“Right, right, Brother Dong Shi, he must have a way, he must!”

Lu Zhenzhen began rummaging through her bag in desperation, the contents spilling all over, some falling under the seat, into the crevices.

The car drove unsteadily as she bent down to pick things up, accidentally banging her head on the front seat.

Screech—

Gao Zhe braked hard, turning to glare at her intensely, “Trying to kill yourself, huh?

See if you dare to hurt yourself again!”

Lu Zhenzhen’s tears rolled down in an instant, “Ah Zhe, my phone is gone, I can’t find it, wuu wuu…”

Gao Zhe pressed down hard on his brow.

She had just been fiercely imposing in front of others, like a shrew, yet now she cried in front of him like a puppy.

He really had no way to deal with her, only making himself angrier.

He handed her his phone, “I’ll read it out, you dial.”

The car started moving again, the pace slower than before.

Lu Zhenzhen pressed the numbers one by one, put the phone to her ear after dialing, and while sniffling, complained, “When did you memorize Dong Shi’s number so clearly, have you been having an affair with him behind my back?”
