Chapter 132: Seizing Your Position as Heir
I never expected that it would be Zeng Yan who came in.
Zeng Yichen's eyes froze, he took a deep breath without making any expression, turned his head and smiled lightly, then asked,
"Hey, brother, why are you here at this time?"
Zeng Yan's eyes flickered, "I have something to ask Dad."
As he spoke, he looked around the study and asked in confusion, "Eh? Dad's not here?"
Zeng Yichen replied nonchalantly, "I heard that Zeng Qian'er had some trouble, so Dad just left in a hurry."
Zeng Yan shook his eyes thoughtfully, "What happened to Qian'er?"
Zeng Yichen rolled his eyes, "How should I know?"
"You~" Zeng Yan smiled and shook his head, then he looked at her carelessly again, "Oh, by the way, how come you have time to come to see dad today? Why didn't you go after your little professor?"
Zeng Yichen was stunned for a moment, raised his mouth a little, and asked in confusion: "Why are you so concerned? Why did I come to see Dad? Brother?"
Zeng Yan was a little stiff. He never expected that Zeng Yichen, who usually answered all his questions, would ask him a question like this today.
what happened?
An Lian seemed to have suddenly become a different person these past two days. How come even Zeng Yichen seemed a little unfamiliar to him...
"Haha, I'm just asking casually." Zeng Yan smiled and raised his hand to cover his mouth awkwardly.
"Oh, I see~" Zeng Yichen nodded, as if he did not doubt this far-fetched explanation, but pretended to be mysterious and said, "I... just came to ask Dad to help me get promoted,
I want to take your place as the heir to the Zeng family."
Zeng Yan was startled suddenly, and his eyes suddenly showed a sinister look, which he forced to suppress. However, Zeng Yichen caught it completely.
Haha, it turns out that his brother really is, disguised to the extreme.
It’s a pity that he had such a deep filter for my brother before, so deep that he really thought he was some brave and extraordinary hero.
"I'm just kidding you!" Before Zeng Yan could say anything, Zeng Yichen burst into laughter.
"How could I have that ability? Brother, you actually believed it, hahahaha..."
Zeng Yan felt relieved when he saw his reaction, and smiled.
"That's a pity. If you really had this much ambition, Dad and I wouldn't have to worry about you every day."
Zeng Yichen was already disgusted, but he still smiled cheerfully, "Okay! I know how much my brother and dad love me, I will definitely stock up some more headache medicine for you, isn't that thoughtful?"
Zeng Yan burst out laughing.
"You kid...
Since Dad is not here, I will leave first. Do you still want to wait for Dad here?"
Zeng Yichen nodded, "Yeah, because I was only halfway through talking to my dad, and I wanted to wait for him to come back and finish."
Zeng Yan was still somewhat skeptical and looked towards the desk.
Zeng Yichen tensed up all over when he saw this, and sweat broke out on his back.
He hadn't had time to put those photo frames back, it would be all over if he saw them.
"Brother!" Zeng Yichen interrupted hurriedly.
Hearing this, Zeng Yan turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Yichen?"
"I..." Zeng Yichen was sweating profusely. He hardly lied and couldn't think of a reasonable topic for a while. He gritted his teeth and asked,
"I want to ask, do you know Commander Qi?"
But what Zeng Yichen didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Zeng Yan's expression was visibly shocked, even panicked.
“You…what did you say?
I...I don’t know...I don’t know...”
Zeng Yan forced himself to calm down and immediately denied it.
But Zeng Yichen, who had originally just asked casually, now became more and more convinced of what his sister-in-law said.
If he really didn't know, then his reaction should be the same as when he heard my sister-in-law say this.
The first thing that comes to mind is, 'What is a commander?'
Rather than, 'I don't know him.'
So, brother also knows about Commander Qi, then, does brother also know that mom is imprisoned?
Zeng Yichen's hatred towards Zeng Yan was like a bonfire, burning more and more intensely.
It is unforgivable that my brother did such a cruel thing to my sister-in-law. If he really knew that my mother was imprisoned, he would not only not stop my father, but also concealed himself for my father...
They're all treating him like a fool, aren't they?!
"Yi...Yi Chen? You..." How do you know?
No, you can’t ask like that, or you’ll be exposed!
But how did Zeng Yichen know Commander Qi?
Could it be that Professor Ji had recovered his memory? Did he remember the confidential files he had accidentally read in the military camp? So he told... or questioned Zeng Yichen?
Combined with the fact that he mysteriously appeared in his father's study and just said he wanted to take his place...was he really just joking?
Zeng Yan didn't realize that his voice had become a little stammering. Looking at Zeng Yichen who was different from usual, he always felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.
Hearing this, Zeng Yichen suppressed his anger and barely regained his innocent appearance as a young man.
"That's it, then it's okay."
As he spoke, he simply lowered his head and played with his phone.
But for a long while, Zeng Yan beside him stood there without moving.
Zeng Yichen turned his head in confusion, "Brother? Do you have anything else to do?"
Zeng Yan stared at him intently, somewhat absent-minded.
He had to find out how Zeng Yichen knew about this and how much he knew.
But he didn't know how to start the conversation properly, and he was in a state of panic.
Forget it, let's go back and think about it and then find an opportunity...
"It's okay, I'll go first." Zeng Yan said, without stopping, he turned decisively and walked towards the door.
"Bye, brother!" Unlike the enthusiasm in his voice, Zeng Yichen's eyes were filled with gloomy hostility as he looked at Zeng Yan's back.
"Yeah." Zeng Yan responded without turning his head, but suddenly stopped, "By the way."
Hearing this, Zeng Yichen immediately became alert, "What's wrong, brother?"
"Your sister-in-law..." Zeng Yan said, turning around again to face Zeng Yichen. His face remained calm, but the temperature of his voice had obviously dropped a lot.
"What time did she leave Zeng's house last night?"
Zeng Yichen frowned subconsciously.
This bastard!
Why do you ask this question?
My sister-in-law is a person, not a pet. Why should he monitor what time she leaves Zeng's house?
Could it be that... just because his sister-in-law came home too late yesterday, he suspected that she had done something to betray him?
It's really morbid!
Could it be... that he was violent towards her again yesterday?
Damn it!! I promised to protect my sister-in-law!
"I don't know." Zeng Yichen answered expressionlessly, but his fingers were clenched tightly.
"I don't know?" Zeng Yan rolled his eyes, seeming to be dissatisfied with the answer.
"Why don't you just ask her about your sister-in-law's affairs? Could it be..."
Zeng Yichen looked directly into Zeng Yan's eyes, like a naked sharp blade.
"You don't trust her?"
