Chapter 194 The Price of Betraying My Father
"How is that possible?" Zeng Yichen retorted, "She already knows that you guys have been hunting her down. How could she possibly be willing to go to the Zeng family?"
Zeng Yan pursed his lips and said without explanation: "If you don't believe me, go and ask."
Zeng Yichen said nothing, just kept scratching his head in annoyance.
Not only was he annoyed by the danger of bringing trouble to Ji Ran, but he was also annoyed that this danger actually came from his own father.
I was annoyed by the momentary resistance to the complete collapse of my impression of a loving father.
Zeng Yan didn't say anything more when he saw this. He just picked up the heavy document bag again and stuffed it into Zeng Yichen's arms: "Okay, don't stay here anymore, let's go."
Zeng Yichen was pulled up by Zeng Yan and pushed towards the door. He had no choice but to walk away staggeringly.
But suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
The next second, Zeng Yan opened the door and saw that it was his confidant. He suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, the confidant spoke anxiously: "Battalion Commander, the general's car has arrived at the main gate downstairs."
Zeng Yan narrowed his eyes. Of course he knew Zeng Nian was back, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.
Even though he was prepared for what was about to happen to him, Zeng Yichen was still here... He didn't want Zeng Yichen to be stimulated again.
"I understand." Zeng Yan replied and closed the door.
"Why is Dad here?" Zeng Yichen, who was standing behind the door, immediately asked, "Is he here to settle accounts with you about the divorce?"
Thinking about how Zeng Nian had just told him calmly on the phone that he would mediate the matter between his elder brother and sister-in-law, Zeng Yichen subconsciously felt that Zeng Nian was here to scold Zeng Yan at most.
At this moment, Zeng Yan's eyes were darting around the office, finally locking onto the filing cabinet in the corner.
Then he pulled Zeng Yichen over and walked towards the cabinet.
Zeng Yichen was a little confused, "What are you doing?"
Zeng Yan did not answer him, but opened the cabinet, took down the two partitions in the middle, and stuffed Zeng Yichen, who was holding the file bag, into it.
"It's not you, brother..."
Zeng Yichen was interrupted by Zeng Yan before he could finish his words: "Cover your mouth for a while, and don't say anything no matter what you hear."
Zeng Yichen still looked confused: "No, brother, I can help you talk to dad..."
Zeng Yan suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Did you hear that?"
Zeng Yichen was stunned. In all these years, except for the first time his brother beat him, this was also the first time his brother yelled at him.
He could only nod blankly.
Zeng Yan then decisively closed the cabinet door and quickly stuffed the removed partition into the gap under the sofa.
The next second, the door was opened.
Zeng Yan turned around and saw Zeng Nian walking towards him quickly with a gloomy face.
"Pa!" A slap landed hard on his face.
The force was so strong that Zeng Yan's vision blurred instantly. He steadied himself for two seconds before he raised his head shakily, only to be greeted by an even harder slap.
"Snapped!!"
This slap directly knocked Zeng Yan down on the sofa. Zeng Nian then stepped over him and sat on the sofa. He shook the hand that had just hit Zeng Yan and ordered his men:
"What are you doing standing still!"
Six or seven men were collectively shocked, and immediately stepped forward to drag Zeng Yan to the ground and started beating him.
The room was filled with the sounds of punches and kicks, but Zeng Yan didn't even make a sound, just silently enduring it.
Zeng Nian was obviously very dissatisfied with this. "Go get the pliers and needle."
One of the men immediately obeyed the order upon hearing it.
Zeng Yichen, who was in the closet, saw all of this. He covered his mouth in disbelief. Where had he ever seen Zeng Nian like this? Even his gaze towards Zeng Nian was trembling.
He just sat there indifferently, wiping his hands with a tissue. There was neither worry nor guilt on his face, only pure indifference and cruelty. He didn't look like a loving father at all.
It's simply the devil!!!
Soon, his men brought a set of silver needles. Two of them forcibly pulled Zeng Yan up, holding his arms on both sides. The one holding the silver needles grabbed his fingers, took out the silver needles and stabbed them without mercy.
"Uh-huh..." Zeng Yan couldn't help but snort coldly, but he still stubbornly lowered his voice.
Zeng Yichen, in the closet, was practically heartbroken. It was just a divorce, wasn't it?! If he was sorry to his sister-in-law, wouldn't he just make amends to the Zeng family?! Even if he brought shame to the Zeng family, he should be punished accordingly! Why tortured his brother like an enemy?
But what shocked him even more was his elder brother's reaction. Combined with what he had just told him, it seemed as if he had already guessed what he would experience, or rather... he had already become accustomed to such attacks...
Zeng Yichen felt like he was about to push open the cabinet door and rush out, but as if sensing something, Zeng Yan turned his head with difficulty and stared at the air vents on the cabinet door.
Zeng Yichen understood the look in his eyes, and finally resisted the urge and continued to cover his mouth tightly.
At this moment, Zeng Nian suddenly stood up and walked towards Zeng Yan, picked up the ashtray on the coffee table, and smashed it hard on Zeng Yan's head.
"You dare to set a trap for me? I think you are tired of living!"
Zeng Yan suddenly laughed, "Haha, hahahahaha..."
Yes, wasn't he setting a trap for Zeng Nian? Now seeing Zeng Nian's defense being broken, his trap was indeed set.
As long as she was safe, his goal would be achieved.
He slowly raised his head and for the first time looked at Zeng Nian without fear.
Blood was already flowing all over his face and seeping into his eyes. It was a terrifying sight, and even several of his men felt a little sorry for him. After all, he was the general's eldest son...
Zeng Nian became even more angry when he was stared at. He grabbed Zeng Yan's hair and said in a voice that sounded almost like a demon:
"Do you think that I can't kill An Lian like this?
If you hadn't taken her to Nanshata to see your mother without your permission, she wouldn't have died.
Even if she dies, it's you who killed her!"
Zeng Yan's laughter stopped abruptly. He twisted his neck with great effort, enduring the pain, and looked at Zeng Nian: "Do you think that killing her can cover up the evil you have done?"
Zeng Nian angrily grabbed Zeng Yan's neck, his fingers tightening even more: "Shut up!"
"Uh..." Zeng Yan felt that his vision was getting darker and darker, and breathing was becoming more and more difficult.
Zeng Yichen, who was still immersed in the huge impact of their conversation, came back to his senses when he heard Zeng Yan's painful voice.
Seeing that Zeng Yan seemed to be really dying, Zeng Yichen once again wavered in his determination to rush out. He couldn't bear to watch his brother being killed in front of him like this.
But then, Zeng Nian let go, and Zeng Yan breathed in the air greedily as if he had been reborn.
Zeng Yichen breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he was a demon, he would still not eat his own cubs.
But Zeng Nianxia ordered his men, "Shave him once a day. No medical treatment is allowed. When he is about to die, save him."
Several subordinates looked at each other, lowered their heads and replied, "...Yes."
Then he squatted down in front of Zeng Yan, pinched his chin, and made him look directly into his eyes:
"You will know the price of betraying me."
