Wei Yumeng felt a bit anxious. At such a crucial moment, Zhan Mohan was nowhere to be found. She could only wait for him to finish his business.
However, knowing what had happened and just waiting around wasn't Wei Yumeng's style. At her insistence, she and Mu Linjing went to Chen Yutong's house.
Chen Yutong looked surprised to see them. "Why are you two here?"
Mu Linjing explained, "Since we already know what happened, how could we possibly leave you alone at home? Moreover, you're pregnant now, we can't just abandon you."
Wei Yumeng nodded. "That's right. I hope you don't worry for now. I've already called Mohan. I believe we'll have a result soon."
Chen Yutong breathed a sigh of relief. "I've really troubled you this time. Actually, Yang Yi didn't want me to tell you about this, but he couldn't resolve this matter alone. So... for the sake of our family, I could only turn to you."
Wei Yumeng understood. If this had happened to her, she would have done everything she could to help Zhan Mohan. A wife would naturally try her best to assist her husband.
Meanwhile, at Zhan Corporation, Zhan Mohan saw Fang Xun rushing towards him as soon as he finished his meeting.
"Mr. Zhan, your wife just called. It's something very urgent."
Zhan Mohan glanced at Fang Xun. "Is it about my elder brother?"
Fang Xun was taken aback, not expecting Zhan Mohan to already know. "It is indeed that matter."
Zhan Mohan's expression remained neutral. He simply said, "I know."
Fang Xun hesitated. "Shouldn't we call your wife back?"
Zhan Mohan didn't turn his head. He just said, "No need."
In fact, he had known about it since early morning. How could anything happening in Pengcheng related to any business escape his information network?
Although Zhan Yangyi had been running his own company and had no intention of becoming part of Zhan Corporation, and Zhan Mohan had never forced him, he had always kept an eye on the situation there.
The current situation was far too serious. If he intervened on Zhan Yangyi's behalf, it would reveal the connection between Zhan Yangyi and Zhan Corporation, and would only drag Zhan Corporation down with them.
Thinking of this, Zhan Mohan clenched his fist. Although he wanted to help Zhan Yangyi, he couldn't. It was for the sake of Zhan Corporation and for the Zhan family.
Wei Yumeng waited anxiously for Zhan Mohan's call, but after waiting all day, she hadn't received any.
"Yumeng, stop pacing, you're making me dizzy," Mu Linjing pleaded, unable to bear it any longer.
Chen Yutong also looked anxious, but there was nothing she could do.
Wei Yumeng took a deep breath and glanced at the time. Zhan Mohan should be off work by now. Since the phone wasn't working, she would have to go to him in person.
"Sister-in-law, Linjing, I think I'll go myself. Waiting like this isn't helping."
Mu Linjing immediately stopped her. "Yumeng, don't forget your condition. Don't be impulsive. Maybe the phone will ring any minute now."
"But..." She had already waited a whole day. How could Wei Yumeng continue to wait?
Just then, the door opened.
Zhan Yangyi was surprised to see everyone in the living room. He hadn't expected Mu Linjing and Wei Yumeng to be there.
"Why are you two here?"
Upon seeing Wei Yumeng's expression, he immediately understood what was going on.
"Yutong, you still told them?"
Chen Yutong lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you, but I really wanted to help."
Wei Yumeng instinctively shielded Chen Yutong. "Sister-in-law, what you did as a wife is not wrong. You can't blame her."
Mu Linjing nodded in agreement.
Seeing them, Zhan Yangyi sighed. "I haven't even said anything yet, there's no need for you to be so tense."
He said this as he sat down on the sofa. "I know even if Yutong hadn't told you, it was only a matter of time before Mohan and the others found out."
Zhan Yangyi was very clear about the influence of Zhan Corporation. Pengcheng was covered by Zhan Corporation's information network. Perhaps Zhan Mohan already knew about their situation.
He wasn't worried about Zhan Mohan knowing about his predicament, but rather about what Zhan Mohan would do after finding out.
The severity of this matter had already surpassed their capabilities. Even if Zhan Corporation stepped in, the current situation could no longer be salvaged.
"I'm very sorry that because of our affairs, I've made you worry," Zhan Yangyi said.
Wei Yumeng and Mu Linjing both waved their hands. "We are family, how can we consider this trouble?"
The two stayed for a while longer. Seeing that Zhan Yangyi truly had no intention of blaming Chen Yutong, they left with peace of mind.
On the way home, Wei Yumeng felt a heavy weight in her heart. She sincerely did not want to see Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong in trouble.
She especially didn't want Chen Yutong to suffer the same fate as her.
No matter what, she had to convince Zhan Mohan to help Zhan Yangyi resolve this matter.
When she arrived home, she saw that Zhan Mohan had already returned and was sitting on the sofa, looking at his laptop, busy with something.
"You're back?" Zhan Mohan's voice was gentle as he looked at her.
Wei Yumeng, however, couldn't spare the pleasantries. She said directly, "I called you today, and Fang Xun answered. I have something to discuss with you."
"I know what you want to talk about. I already know about that matter," Zhan Mohan said in a flat tone, as if he didn't care at all.
"So you already know. Have you figured out what to do?" Wei Yumeng immediately felt a lot more relieved.
She always felt that no matter what happened, as long as Zhan Mohan stepped in, there was nothing that couldn't be resolved.
Indeed, Zhan Mohan said, "Yes, I have figured out what to do."
"Then I can rest easy. Given the current situation, if my elder brother gets involved, their family's situation will worsen. They might even incur huge compensation. Sister-in-law's child hasn't even been born yet. I really don't want anything to happen to them," Wei Yumeng said, her face full of worry.
"I'm sorry, Yumeng, we can't do anything this time." Although Zhan Mohan said this, there was no apology in his tone. He even felt that such a decision was only natural.
Wei Yumeng was stunned. Zhan Mohan had just said he had figured out what to do, but why was he saying they could do nothing?
"Mohan, I'm a bit confused..."
Zhan Mohan looked at her, his eyes very firm. "I've decided what to do about this matter, and that is for us to do nothing."
"No, Mohan, we can't do that. He's my elder brother and sister-in-law. How can we just stand by and do nothing?" Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan in disbelief.
