Wei Yumeng and Xue Fu exchanged a glance, not immediately responding.
Even if the person in front of them had helped them, they were now abroad with no connections.
These people had appeared suddenly, and their identities and intentions were impossible to ascertain.
What's more, these security guards had been standing by before. The sudden change made it hard not to suspect something fishy.
Perhaps seeing that Wei Yumeng and Xue Fu were overly cautious, he hurriedly explained, "Don't be afraid, ladies. It was indeed our market's oversight that you encountered this situation. We will be investigating these personnel."
The explanation sounded reasonable, but Wei Yumeng still felt something was off.
It wasn't until she noticed that the onlookers in the market were all looking towards the main entrance, as if some important figure was about to arrive.
Even the person who had been speaking to them just now quickly turned to greet them.
Who was it?
Wei Yumeng's mood suddenly became tense. Come to think of it, the events of today and her previous strange feelings might have stemmed from the same source.
The overly smooth situation after experiencing setbacks, even the transaction amounts being exactly right.
Coupled with the arrival of a major figure at this moment, was this person the one truly in control of everything?
Who was it? Who was it?
Thinking this, Wei Yumeng quickened her pace towards the entrance.
"Sister Wei!" Xue Fu also hurried to catch up, ensuring Wei Yumeng's safety no matter what.
They saw that almost all the shopkeepers in the market had gathered there, peeking and looking at a luxury car parked at the entrance.
This car was a world-limited edition, with only five made.
Those who bought this car were all powerful figures in the world, naturally drawing the attention of everyone present.
People were whispering, guessing what kind of person was in the car.
But when Wei Yumeng saw the car clearly, she froze, disbelief etched on her face.
Finally, the car door opened. First, a slender leg emerged, followed by another, and then Wei Yumeng truly saw the face of the person who had arrived.
"Mr. Zhan, we have handled the situation here according to your instructions. The two young ladies are safe." The security captain, who had spoken to Wei Yumeng earlier, looked at Zhan Mohan with a fawning expression.
Zhan Mohan merely nodded slightly at him, "Thank you for your trouble."
"Mr. Zhan, you are too kind. This is what we should do."
Zhan Mohan had no intention of continuing to deal with the man. He simply walked up to Wei Yumeng.
"Yumeng, how are you? Did things go smoothly?"
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan, still a bit dazed.
Zhan Mohan had come over, she had never expected him to come in person.
Even before she left, she had spoken to Zhan Mohan on the phone. At that time, Zhan Mohan seemed to be with Fang Xun. How could he be in front of her now?
Seeing Wei Yumeng's stunned expression, Zhan Mohan let out a helpless, light chuckle. "Did I startle you? I'm sorry, I just wanted to give you a surprise."
Wei Yumeng finally came to her senses. Although she had many things to say and many questions to ask Zhan Mohan, it was clearly not the place for it now.
"Everything went smoothly. And, thanks to your timely arrival, things didn't get any worse."
Hearing this, Zhan Mohan subconsciously glanced at the security captain beside him, a hint of blame in his eyes.
The security captain scratched his head awkwardly. How could he have known that Wei Yumeng was the wife of such a person?
If he had known earlier, he would have found a way to protect Wei Yumeng.
Next, Wei Yumeng took Zhan Mohan to the shop she had settled on. Since Zhan Mohan was here, she might as well let him see her choice.
However, besides that, Wei Yumeng still needed to figure out something else.
"This is the shop I've already signed for. After we return to China, they will be responsible for arranging material quality inspection and transportation," Wei Yumeng said, handing some material samples to Zhan Mohan.
Zhan Mohan took them and examined them carefully. However, his mind was not on the materials. Ever since he entered the shop, Wei Yumeng had been watching his every move.
Although he could remain outwardly calm, the shop owner could not.
He revealed small flaws from time to time, and it was likely he couldn't keep it a secret any longer.
After a while, Zhan Mohan sighed, "As expected, nothing can be hidden from you."
Hearing this, Wei Yumeng cut straight to the chase, "You had already chosen this shop, didn't you? And you had already negotiated the price with them, which is why they offered me such a low price when I arrived."
She assumed that Zhan Mohan had already covered the price difference. Wei Yumeng had merely gone through the motions to reach her destination.
But before Zhan Mohan could speak, Xue Fu chimed in.
"Sister-in-law, this was actually my idea!" Xue Fu took all the blame upon herself. "Actually, after I found you, I knew how much trouble your project was in.
So I told Brother about these circumstances, and with Brother's help, we found these markets. Then I thought of secretly helping Sister-in-law."
Hearing the term "sister-in-law," Wei Yumeng raised an eyebrow. She hadn't doubted Xue Fu's identity before, but now she couldn't help but be suspicious.
So Xue Fu and Zhan Mohan knew each other long ago. She was the only one who had been kept in the dark all along.
Seeing Wei Yumeng's expression, Xue Fu slapped her forehead. This was bad. She just wanted to take all the blame, but she didn't expect to expose other things instead.
Given the situation, it was no longer possible to pretend. Xue Fu decided to go all out. "Sister-in-law, please don't be angry with Brother. Actually, no matter what, Brother did it for your own good. When Brother knew you were in trouble, he told me to find you, and that's when I rescued you when you fainted.
And all the subsequent project-related matters were indeed with Brother's permission that I helped you reach this point. Brother, because he cares about your feelings, could only do these things secretly."
Wei Yumeng remained silent for a long time, which only made Xue Fu more discouraged.
Zhan Mohan, however, showed no signs of worry, and simply waited for Wei Yumeng to process everything.
"Alright," Wei Yumeng took a deep breath. "Through you both, I've understood the whole story. I also know that you did this all for me, so how could I be angry?"
As she spoke, Wei Yumeng reached out and patted Xue Fu's shoulder. "In any case, you've been a great help to me during this time. I can only be grateful to you."
She then turned to Zhan Mohan. "As for you..."
Wei Yumeng didn't finish her sentence, because at this moment, both her gaze and her heart were captured by the person in front of her.
She understood everything he had done, and it only made her love him more.
