New Year's Day, January 1st.
Zhang Ran's family began to prepare a sumptuous dinner. Zhang Xiaotao and Susu were not so happy, but started to do their homework with a sad face.
No matter what holiday it is, students' homework is always indispensable.
Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan also handled the matter in advance and returned home early.
"Dayong, it's okay, you also go and accompany Xiaoqing." Zhang Ran said.
He Yong has been following Zhang Ran since the past two days, and the appearance of the whale shark made him a little nervous.
That year was probably the most dangerous time for Zhang Ran. Those people were really a bunch of lunatics, the kind who would risk their lives for money. If not...
"It's okay, Xiaoqing also has her own things to be busy with." He Yong refused.
Zhang Ran sighed and said nothing more. He was still waiting for news about the hyena.
But soon, he knew that he didn't need to wait anymore, thinking that they would deliver it to his door.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, someone sent a courier, and it was handed over to Zhang Ran after He Yong's inspection.
It was a mobile phone. After Zhang Ran turned it on, a video call came immediately.
Zhang Ran's eyes were still a little shocked when he saw that face that was old but already impressive.
"You are indeed not dead." Zhang Ran said softly.
But the whale over there laughed wildly, "You are indeed a rich man."
Then both of them fell silent, and for a moment they didn't feel like enemies meeting each other.
"The rich man is indeed a rich man. Even after disappearing for thirty years, he is still so strong." Whale's mood had softened at this time and he said with a smile.
Zhang Ran said calmly: "I didn't expect that you didn't die. Then who died back then? Don't tell me hyenas and they are lying to me with you. I believe they don't have the courage."
Whale admitted happily: "Yes, they didn't lie to you. Someone died that year, but it was my brother."
As he said this, Whale took out a photo with two identical people on it.
Zhang Ran was relieved at this moment, it turned out to be so.
"I'm really curious. Shouldn't people like you not care about life and death? People who do what you do will benefit from you if you die a hundred times. How can you even do this? Can't see through it at all?" Zhang Ran asked curiously.
This whale has obviously been looking for him and wants to avenge his brother, otherwise there would be nothing like this scene today.
But if we really talk about it, people like Whale have long been aware of death, and this is the business they are in.
Even if Brother Whale is dead, he shouldn't hate Zhang Ran so much. It's not that Whale is generous, but it's the rule in this industry.
They have had this awareness for a long time, and they should have understood it since they provoked Zhang Ran.
The whale nodded and said: "Yes, just like you said, it's not too much for people like us to die a hundred times.
Even when you destroyed the whale sharks, it was our own fault, so there is nothing to complain about. "
"Then why did you come to me? Do you really hate me so much? Or do you think I can't do anything to you?" Zhang Ran became more and more curious.
The whale said softly: "I deserve to die, but my brother does not deserve to die."
"I am a heinous person, and I would never die in any way. But my brother has never done a bad thing since he was a child. He is still a genius, and he is my only support. But he died, and he died in your hands." .”
"You won't die in my hands, but in your hands." Zhang Ran said lightly.
Whale actually did not refute Zhang Ran's words, but said to himself: "Back then, my brother knew about my crisis, and then quietly knocked me out, took my place, and died for me, so I want to do it for him revenge."
Very simple, very concise words, and it shows the determination of the whale.
Since that time, revenge has been his only motivation to survive. His brother didn't deserve to die!
Zhang Ran didn't say anything. It would be a waste to explain to such a person. Likewise, Zhang Ran had no need to explain.
"Rich man, if only that person hadn't betrayed him temporarily, then none of this would have happened." Whale seemed to have come to his senses and chuckled.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ran's face darkened.
Zhang Ran really almost died back then, and it was because of the betrayal of the people around him that even Zhang Ran himself didn't notice it.
At the last moment, I don’t know if it was due to conscience or something else, but the man chose to betray him temporarily.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Ran survived and began to retaliate crazily, grabbing the whale shark's tail and destroying the whale shark.
But that man died, not in Zhang Ran's hands, but for him.
The matter is very complicated, so complicated that both sides have grievances that are difficult to resolve.
So as soon as Zhang Ran heard the news about the whale shark, he immediately took action, and the same was true for the whale.
"Rich man, how about we play another game?" Whale said with a smile, as if they were just talking about how to play chess, not life and death.
Zhang Ran recovered and said calmly: "Let's play a game? Why?"
"Come out, and I will tell you my approximate address. This game will determine life or death!" Whale said, staring at Zhang Ran.
Zhang Ran said: "Why should I go out? Now that you know me, you also clearly think that with the current financial resources, I don't need to come forward personally to deal with you."
"Rich man, I really didn't have the confidence to say this before, but now you are different. You have a family, and I also know what your family looks like and where they are." There was a hint of madness in Whale's eyes.
Zhang Ran was not angry. Instead, he smiled in a nonchalant way.
The whale also smiled, "I know you must have taken measures, and I also know that there is nothing I can do in China.
But don’t forget, do you only want your son and daughter to stay in China? Don’t you want to hand over your properties elsewhere to them
Also, the child is still young, and it is not good if he is often frightened. I can bet on the lives of many people, but do you dare to bet on this? "
Whale knew Zhang Ran's weaknesses, and also knew that it would be useless if he threatened Zhang Ran in other ways.
After all, as long as the Zhang family is in China, there is nothing he can do, but as he said, it is impossible for Zhang Sicheng and the others not to go out for a walk. The Zhang family still has property outside.
The two children are the top priority. Zhang Ran should let them transfer to another school now. The current school is not suitable.
But how can you guard against thieves for a thousand days
"If you don't agree to my condition, from today onwards, I will try my best to hide it and use all means on these things, and you need to be vigilant at all times." Whale said with a smile.
