Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 574 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (53)

Yu Yanfei felt a chill run down his spine: "You mean..."

Gao Shenghan met Yu Yanfei's horrified and incredulous gaze with a slight smile: "That's right, it's exactly what you mean."

Yu Yanfei: "..."

Gao Shenghan leaned forward, a cigarette between his fingers, his elbow resting on his knee, and hooked his left arm around Yu Yanfei's shoulder, pulling him close. He whispered in Yu Yanfei's ear, "How about it? Want to team up with me for a heist? If it's done, I'll give you 30% of what we get."

Thirty percent?

Thirty percent may not sound like much, but it represents thirty percent of the assets of Hangzhou's richest family.

If Gao Shenghan hadn't lied to him, the money he received after the deed was enough for him to turn his life around, pay off all his debts, and no longer be blackmailed and controlled by loan sharks.

The thought of escaping the gambling debt vortex that he had struggled with for over a decade, and no longer having to be bait for loan sharks and constantly introduce relatives and friends into this pit, made Yu Yanfei swallow hard with longing.

"What are you going to do?"

-

Hospital, VIP ward.

Yan Zhen was awakened by the chirping of birds outside the window.

She opened her eyes and sat up, finding herself lying in a hospital bed, while Xiao Yun, who should have been resting, was nowhere to be seen.

Yan Zhen reached for his phone on the bedside table and checked the time: seven o'clock in the morning.

She threw back the covers, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

When Yan Zhen came out of the restroom, Xiao Yun, wearing a hospital gown, returned from outside carrying breakfast.

Yan Zhen asked, "Why aren't you resting? What have you been doing?"

"I can't sleep, so I'll go downstairs for a walk."

Yan Zhen looked him up and down and saw that the man who was pale with pain last night was now walking around as usual, looking like nothing had happened.

She remembered the last time Xiao Yun had a cut on her stomach; the first night she was in so much pain she could barely climb the stairs, but the next morning she was able to get up and make breakfast…

Yan Zhen silently sighed in his heart, "It's so good to be young."

"Don't make a fuss," Yan Zhen said. "A caregiver will be here later. Just tell the caregiver if you need anything. I'm going back now."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xiao Yun quickly asked, "Aren't you going to have breakfast before you go?"

Yan Zhen's gaze swept over the various breakfasts he brought back, all of which were her favorites.

In order not to disappoint Xiao Yun's attempt to please her, Yan Zhen symbolically took an egg tart: "Message me if you need anything."

After leaving the hospital, Yan Zhen returned to the Yan family home.

She took a shower first, and then went to the Yan Group.

As soon as she arrived at the company, her phone rang. It was a divorce lawyer contacted by Yan's father to discuss her divorce from Gao Shenghan.

Yan Zhen arranged to meet her lawyer at the coffee shop downstairs.

It took Yan Zhen half an hour to finalize the divorce agreement with her lawyer. Her core requirement was only one thing—to minimize the division of property and, within the scope of what was possible, reduce the amount of property to be divided with Gao Shenghan to the lowest possible level, ideally leaving Gao Shenghan with nothing.

Yan Zhen's actions were not out of reluctance to part with the money, but rather to further provoke Gao Shenghan.

As long as Gao Shenghan is provoked, he can slowly enjoy watching him struggle desperately when he is driven to the brink of despair, just like a cat teasing a mouse.

This was her favorite part.

After the lawyer left, Yan Zhen finished her coffee and was about to return to the company when Yan Heng called.

Yan Zhen raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw the caller ID.

Is this mentally challenged younger brother unable to bear the hardships of life outside and wants to go home?

Yan Zhen slid down the call button to answer: "Go ahead."

Yan Heng cut to the chase: "What happened between you and your brother-in-law?"

"Ok?"

"My brother-in-law called me and asked me to come home in a few days so we could have a meal together. He said it was some kind of farewell dinner, and that I might not see him again... Did you two have a fight?"

"I guess so. I'm planning to divorce him." Yan Zhen gave a perfunctory reply, but her mind was racing.

In the previous life, the original owner's entire family died in a car accident, and the driver at the time was Gao Shenghan.

Gao Shenghan was also seriously injured in the car accident and it took him two years to recover.

The car accident killed all four members of the Yan family, leaving only Gao Xinyu, the heir who still carried the Yan family bloodline, and who naturally inherited the Yan family's property.

The reason Gao Shenghan called Yan Heng back at this time was probably to carry out the plan from his previous life: to stage a car accident on the eve of the divorce, send the entire Yan family away, and then take control of the Yan family for himself.

But this plan is so risky that Gao Shenghan alone could not complete it, whether in the previous life or this life.

Putting aside everything else, Gao Shenghan, who was in a car accident with the Yan family in his previous life, was seriously injured and remained in a coma for a long time before waking up.

To avoid being outmaneuvered by the schemer, Gao Shenghan needs a helper to set up the plan before it's executed and to clean up the mess afterward.

Otherwise, given the Yan family's situation, with Yan's parents and Yan Zhen and Yan Heng all dead, leaving only an elderly man suffering from Alzheimer's and a child of about ten years old, any of the Yan family's relatives with a bad heart would surely take advantage of his recovery period to divide up the Yan family.

After much thought, Yan Zhen thought of Yu Yanfei.

Yu Yanfei and Gao Shenghan are birds of a feather, and they know each other inside and out. Gao Shenghan needs someone to help him with this kind of thing, and Yu Yanfei is undoubtedly the best candidate.

If this person is Yu Yanfei, then things will be much easier.

On the other end of the phone, Yan Heng seemed somewhat surprised and asked, "Do your parents know that you're getting a divorce?"

"I know, Dad helped me hire the divorce lawyer."

"If you two get divorced, who will Xiaoyu live with?"

"It doesn't matter who he's with, he'll eventually have to come back to the Yan family anyway."

"..." Yan Heng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just then, a slightly hoarse male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yan Heng, do you want your tofu pudding with sugar or toppings?"

Yan Heng quickly replied, "Add toppings, and a little bit of chili oil. I don't want cilantro or scallions."

"Would you like some fried dough sticks?"

"want."

"Where's the bun?"

"I want them all! And I'll also have a red bean paste-filled sesame ball."

As Yan Zhen listened to Yan Heng's loud and undisguised cheerfulness, he recalled the humiliation he felt when his father kicked him out of the house.

She thought her silly brother wouldn't last more than a month before slinking back home, but to her surprise, he was doing increasingly well for himself.

"It seems you're doing well out there," Yan Zhen said.

After Yan Heng finished ordering breakfast, he listened to Yan Zhen's words and said happily, "Yes, I made some very good friends outside, and they are very kind to me."

"Since it's so good, then don't come back."

Yan Heng was taken aback: "Huh?"

“I’m telling you, you don’t need to come back for the farewell dinner,” Yan Zhen said. “If your brother-in-law comes looking for you, don’t pay him any attention. We’ll handle our own business, so don’t get involved.”

Although Yan Heng didn't understand why she wanted to do this, he agreed, adhering to the principle of not interfering in his sister's marriage.

"Row."
