Zhan Jinzhi glanced at the time. Lü Hui had already left for half an hour. Although he had bought himself some time from Zhan Mohan, he wasn't even sure if things would go as planned.
Real-life matters were unlike playing chess, where the pieces in hand didn't have minds of their own and wouldn't betray you.
But people were different. He couldn't completely control someone's thoughts, which would become a variable in the entire plan.
He didn't believe he had the ability to control Lü Hui entirely.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder what Zhan Mohan would do in this situation.
If it were Zhan Mohan, he would handle it even more perfectly, wouldn't he?
Meanwhile, Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan had returned home.
However, Wei Yumeng couldn't shake off her unease. Although she believed in Zhan Jinzhi's capabilities, the other party was still such a dangerous figure, which made her feel anxious.
"Mohan, can you guess what Jinzhi is planning to do?"
Zhan Mohan sighed helplessly. He knew that if he didn't give Wei Yumeng an answer, she might not be able to sleep.
"Perhaps he plans to join forces with Lü Hui to eliminate someone."
"Eliminate someone?" Wei Yumeng was startled. Zhan Jinzhi didn't seem like the type to collaborate with Lü Hui.
Previous events had already shown Lü Hui to be a dangerous individual. And now they were going to eliminate someone else? How did they plan to do it?
"No, Mohan, we can't let our child go down that path."
Zhan Mohan chuckled lightly. "Don't worry, it's not what you're thinking. There are many ways to eliminate someone, not necessarily by taking their life."
"What do you mean?" Wei Yumeng was still confused.
"I don't know if you noticed, but in the previous car accident, someone was always caught between Lü Hui and Shen Han."
Wei Yumeng thought for a moment and finally realized, "You mean the person who arranged for Shen Han to do all that?"
Zhan Mohan nodded. "I don't think the previous car accident was entirely Lü Hui's idea. Just as you suspected, how could a child come up with such an extreme method to eliminate another person? Perhaps when Jinzhi was talking with Lü Hui, he discovered the problem and made a deal with Lü Hui to eliminate that person."
Wei Yumeng frowned upon hearing this. "If what you're saying is true, then that person intentionally used Lü Hui's motives to do it. But what would be their motive for doing so?"
The thought made Wei Yumeng feel a chill. She now felt that this matter was far from a simple feud between children. That person might even be targeting the Zhan family directly.
If that were the case, could Zhan Jinzhi really handle all of this?
"No, Mohan, I need to go back to the hospital. That child might not even realize how dangerous his actions are."
If possible, Wei Yumeng even wanted to intervene directly, as such matters should be handled by adults.
"Don't rush." Zhan Mohan stopped her. "I've already arranged for sufficient bodyguards at the hospital to ensure his safety. Moreover, I believe that if we stop him now, it will only undermine the child's confidence."
"But..." How could Wei Yumeng possibly feel at ease letting Zhan Jinzhi handle this?
Zhan Mohan simply wrapped his arm around her waist and gently pulled her back to their room.
The hospital was quiet at night, but Zhan Jinzhi couldn't sleep. He was waiting for news from Lü Hui.
However, he had already prepared himself for the possibility that his assumptions might be wrong, and Lü Hui might truly be someone who would stop at nothing.
Just then, his phone lit up with a text message.
"Everything is under control on my end. As per his plan, he will personally come to you after midnight tonight. Be prepared."
Zhan Jinzhi replied with three words: "Understood."
In fact, his method of eliminating the person was quite simple. That person had been exploiting Lü Hui's jealousy and using the Lü family to achieve his own goals. Therefore, even if Lü Hui later revealed that these were not his own ideas, it would be impossible to prove.
So, the only way was to force him to act personally, and getting caught red-handed would prove everything.
Furthermore, to lower the target's guard, he had specifically asked Wei Yumeng and Zhan Mohan to leave the hospital, but this also increased his own risk.
Although Fang Xun knew about this and had made some arrangements, his authority was limited. The outcome would ultimately depend on how things unfolded.
Zhan Jinzhi took a deep breath. Even though he knew the danger involved, the thought that this matter might also be related to the Zhan Group made him unable to stand by and do nothing.
After all, he was the young master of the Zhan family.
Lü Hui constantly spoke of the Lü family, but wasn't Zhan Jinzhi doing the same?
Zhan Jinzhi sent Fang Xun a message, briefly explaining the current situation.
Fang Xun quickly replied, confirming that everything was in order and all that remained was to wait.
The surroundings were too quiet, only the sound of the clock on the hospital wall could be heard.
The on-duty nurse began to doze off, thus failing to notice someone slipping past her counter.
"Mr. Zhan, someone is here," Fang Xun informed Zhan Mohan, holding his phone.
"I know. You two stay alert there and ensure Jinzhi's safety."
Fang Xun hung up the phone and continued to watch the figure. For a moment, he couldn't tell if the person was bold or foolish, as they seemed completely unaware of their presence.
The person, finally managing to find Zhan Jinzhi's room with the help of the darkness, crept inside.
Zhan Jinzhi appeared to be asleep, completely unaware of the intruder.
"Heh, I finally found my chance. Zhan Mohan, let's see how you feel when you lose your child."
Saying this, the person reached out to place something around Zhan Jinzhi's neck.
But at that moment, Zhan Jinzhi's eyes opened. "As expected, your enemy isn't me, but the entire Zhan family."
The intruder was startled, never expecting Zhan Jinzhi to be awake.
"That's right, my enemy is indeed the entire Zhan family. Perhaps Zhan Mohan has forgotten who I am, but I remember very clearly. If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't be in this state. I was also a young master of a family, yet I've been reduced to being a butler for a child!"
"So, it was all a coincidence. You happened to be a butler in the Lü family, learned of Lü Hui's jealousy towards me, and used this opportunity to get revenge on the Zhan family, is that right?"
Zhan Jinzhi's tone was exceptionally calm, as if he wasn't worried about what might happen next.
"Even if you know all this, what does it matter? You're about to die by my hand..." The person said, a ferocious expression contorting their features.
