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

Chapter 384 The Bride of the Sea God (43)

Si Lan has five or six assistants, each in charge of different businesses. The young woman surnamed Xu in front of her and Wei Shucheng from before are the ones Si Lan trusts the most, and they will help her solve her life problems.

Miss Xu rushed over after receiving the message from "Si Lan," but when she rang the doorbell and opened the door, she was immediately subdued by a tall man.

She was dragged into the living room, clearly shocked by what she saw.

She glanced at Nolan, then at Si Lan who was lying unconscious on the sofa, and finally her gaze settled on Yan Zhen.

"Miss, what's wrong...?"

Yan Zhen gestured for Nolan to put her down and asked gently, "Assistant Xu, do you know where Wei Shucheng is?"

Assistant Xu shook his head.

"You really don't know?" Yan Zhen asked.

Assistant Xu: "..."

She swallowed hard without making a sound and said, "I really don't know."

Yan Zhen gave Nolan a wink.

Nolan understood, walked to the nanny room, opened the door, and revealed more than a dozen unconscious bodyguards inside.

When Assistant Xu saw the pile of "corpses," his expression changed drastically.

Yan Zhen asked, "And now? Still don't know?"

She contacted Wei Shucheng via his private number.

But his phone was switched off, and Yan Zhen knew that he had most likely gotten into trouble.

During the three days that Nolan took her away, Si Lan's abilities were more than enough for her to uncover the truth about the mermaids coming ashore, and it was only a matter of time before she found out that Wei Shucheng was colluding with the mermaids.

Now that Si Lan knows that Wei Shucheng has colluded with the mermaid to try to deal with the Si family, she will not let him go.

Wei Shucheng has most likely been imprisoned by Si Lan.

"...He's being held captive at the Xin Nanshan Villa." Assistant Xu said in a low voice, then explained, "The boss didn't do anything to him, he just restricted his personal freedom and wouldn't let him leave Xin Nanshan."

"He's not injured?"

"Correct."

Yan Zhen got the answer she wanted and thanked Assistant Xu.

Seeing that she was very polite to him, Assistant Xu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could leave after explaining these things.

But the thought had barely formed when a sharp noise pierced her eardrums, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Nolan walked over to her and pretended to drag her into the nanny's room.

Yan Zhen reminded her, "Assistant Xu is a girl, so don't be so rough with her."

Nolan, who had grabbed Assistant Xu's arms and was about to drag her away, paused.

He thought for a moment, said "Oh," and then changed his approach, picking up Assistant Xu and carrying her in his arms, quickly walking to the nanny's room and placing her on the bed.

Having successfully taken control of Si Lan's family, Yan Zhen immediately called his parents, who were overseas, and tearfully fabricated a lie that "Si Lan was attacked by a mermaid seeking revenge and is unconscious."

Upon hearing this, the two elders of the Si family panicked as expected. They comforted Yan Zhen and said they would return to China immediately to take charge of the situation.

It takes at least ten hours to fly from overseas to China. Yan Zhen glanced at the time; it was 1 a.m.

Si's parents won't arrive in China until tomorrow morning. Taking advantage of this time, Yan Zhen took Nolan to Xin Nanshan to try and rescue Wei Shucheng.

Wei Shucheng was far more skilled in many of the Si family's businesses than she was; to control the Si family, she needed a capable assistant like Wei Shucheng.

Upon arriving at Xinnan Mountain, the villa was guarded by bodyguards and equipped with ultrasonic jamming devices.

It took Yan Zhen nearly two hours to destroy the ultrasonic interference device and, with Nolan's help, rescue Wei Shucheng.

As Assistant Xu said, Si Lan did nothing to Wei Shucheng. He was only a little listless after being locked up in the villa for a few days, but his body was unharmed.

The two began exchanging information as soon as they met. Wei Shucheng was visibly shocked to learn that Yan Zhen had taken control of Si Lan.

"You plan to take over control of the Si family and then use your position as president to shut down the New Territories Research Institute and all the mermaid merchandise businesses under the Si family?"

"Correct."

Wei Shucheng said, "But your parents will absolutely not agree!"

The New Territories Research Institute has existed for over sixty years and has been passed down through four generations. Thirty percent of the Si family's KPIs come from mermaid products.

"If they disagree, then lock them up too."

Wei Shucheng: "...Are you planning to completely break ties with your family for the sake of the merfolk?"

Meeting Wei Shucheng's incredulous gaze, Yan Zhen nodded: "Yes."

Wei Shucheng's expression slowly became complicated: "Why?"

She had no reason to do so.

On the contrary, her surname is Si, and because of this, she stands against the Si family. If the plan fails, not only will Si Lan not let her off the hook, but Si's parents may not forgive her either.

She will lose everything then.

"There's no reason why, I just did it because I wanted to." Yan Zhen said calmly and nonchalantly as he drove.

Wei Shucheng remained silent for a long time, then looked at Yan Zhen with renewed determination: "Si Xia, you are a good person."

Yan Zhen: "..."

She was too embarrassed to admit that her own selfish motives were greater than those of anyone else involved in the matter.

Regardless of their stance, everyone else is more or less acting in the interest of the collective or others.

She's different; she does this simply for the sake of the mission and points.

“Since you’re determined to go down this path to the bitter end, I’ll help you!” Wei Shucheng adjusted his glasses. “I submitted my resignation some time ago, and Si Lan tried to persuade me to stay, saying that she would reserve my position as special assistant for three years, and I could go back anytime during those three years.”

If I'm not mistaken, my employee file is still with the Si Group and hasn't been deleted. If you need it, I can become your assistant.

That was exactly what Yan Zhen was planning.

Even if Wei Shucheng has already completed the resignation procedures, she will rehire him once she becomes the president.

"Okay then, it's a deal."

As the car entered the city, Yan Zhen drove Wei Shucheng home to change his clothes.

Tomorrow, when I go to the airport to pick up Si's parents, I'll need him to be there to handle things.

However, when they arrived at Wei Shucheng's house, they encountered Asaya, who was waiting there.

Wei Shucheng was taken aback by Asaya's quiet arrival on land, and Nolan also frowned.

Yan Zhen was the only one who didn't show any surprise; she had vaguely guessed before that Asya would return.

Although Wei Shucheng was still shaken by Asaya's attempt to kill him without a word at Yan Zhen's house last time, the two had known each other for so many years and were only cooperating for Mia's sake. After a few words, the misunderstanding was quickly dispelled.

While changing his clothes, Wei Shucheng told Asaya about Yan Zhen's next plan.

After listening, Asaya remained calm and simply nodded: "I wish you success."

"Go back to the sea as soon as possible; it's not safe on land," Wei Shucheng advised. "If there are any new developments in the plan, I'll have Nolan inform the merfolk. Don't come ashore again."

"Ah."

As Yan Zhen left Wei Shucheng's house, he was still somewhat puzzled.

She had assumed that Asya would ask to join the plan and become a member of its execution team.

But he didn't.

Given his level of hatred towards Si Lan and the Si family, he shouldn't miss this opportunity.

This is unlike his usual style.

What the hell is he doing?
