Chapter 24: The Secret of Many Years Ago!

  "I didn't originally choose the Zhang family as my partner, and I hadn't even made up my mind to launch a plan against the Su family so soon. But since you're a personal talent, I've decided to move up the plan... by quite a bit."

  "What's going on?" Zhang Mingqi had a faint feeling that something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on why.

  "Zhang Mingqi, do you still remember your mother?" Wang Zhong suddenly asked seriously.

  "I don't remember." Zhang Mingqi's eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes were unclear of emotions: "My mother passed away when I was very young, and my father raised my younger brother and me to grow up."

  Zhang Mingqi didn't lie, every year during the Qingming Festival, his father Zhang Xiaoci would take him and his younger brother to sweep their mother's grave. His father had said that their mother passed away after giving birth to his younger brother due to severe bleeding.

  For so many years, Zhang Mingqi had never doubted her father's words. From the day she could remember, her father had been raising her and her brother, working hard to ensure their healthy growth. For the sake of his two children, Zhang Xiaoci had not even found another woman, despite the fact that countless women would have willingly opened their legs for him given his wealth. This was also what Zhang Mingqi was most grateful to her father for.

  Wang Zhong listened and smiled, with an inexplicable look in his eyes. He asked, "Zhang Mingqi, do you know what your mother's name is?"

  "My mother's name is Su Huixian."

  Zhang Mingqi's eyes suddenly flashed with an incredulous expression after he finished speaking: "Are you saying that my mother and the Su family have a relationship?"

  King Zhong nodded and threw out another shocking news: "Didn't your father Zhang Xiaoci tell you that your mother Su Huixin died of severe postpartum hemorrhage?"

  "How did you know!"

  Zhang Mingqi's eyes widened, and the disbelieving look in her eyes intensified!

  "Soo Hwi Xin was originally the eldest daughter of the Soo family, but later fell in love with a poor boy and even had two children with him. Because of this, the Soo family felt that it was a shame to their reputation and wanted to force Soo Hwi Xin back home. When she refused, the old folks of the Soo family threatened to harm the poor boy and her children, forcing Soo Hwi Xin to compromise."

  In fact, the Su family was in a state of turmoil, and if Su Hui-xin were to return to the Su family again, she would definitely become the next in line to inherit the estate and receive a large sum of inheritance. Therefore, there were many people within the Su family who did not want to see Su Hui-xin return. In fact, Su Hui-xin did not die from severe bleeding after childbirth, but rather from - an allergic reaction to medication.

  Wang Zhong paused for a moment before continuing: "As for that so-called allergenic drug, it's just ordinary penicillin."

  "Su Hui Xin, that is your mother, was murdered by the Su family. So, all of this is just a coincidence, I happened to know about Su Hui Xin's story, and I happened to meet you two siblings, you have no reason not to join hands with me."

  "A very clichéd script, but an absolutely true story, the truth of the matter is shocking."

  Looking at Zhang Mingqi's sensual face, it turned pale and white, her complexion changing unpredictably, her full chest heaving violently, clearly unable to accept the shocking news in front of her.

  No, this is simply a bomb!

  "What makes me believe you?" After a long time, Zhang Mingqi finally recovered from the shock, trying to keep her voice calm, but her heaving chest still betrayed her emotions.

  "It's actually very simple, just go home and ask your father, won't everything be clear?" Wang Zheng's face still wore a faint smile, like a devil tempting a child to commit a crime.

  "Join hands with me and go to Su's house to take back everything that belongs to you."

  Zhang Mingqi looked deeply at Wang Zheng, then opened the driver's door and drove away in his Maserati, disappearing into the thick night.

  Wang Zheng didn't watch as the Maserati drove away, but instead took out that special-looking black mobile phone and dialed a number.

  "Hello? Is it Wang Xianming?"

  "Who are you?"

  Wang Xianming was leisurely drinking tea and reading the newspaper at his home in Philadelphia, but the sudden ringing of his mobile phone still disrupted his peaceful thoughts. At his level, there were fewer and fewer people who could contact him directly, so this call must be from someone extremely important.

  "I'm Wang Zheng, I need your help with something."

  "Wang Zheng? Good heavens, sir! You've finally appeared! Please, tell me what I can do to help you! You saved my entire family's life, and I don't know how to repay you! Don't be polite at all, even if it means handing over the entirety of the Wang family's wealth in Philadelphia, I won't hesitate!"

  Wang Xianming was so excited that he couldn't calm himself down!

  "I know you have two low-cost diamond mines in South Africa that haven't been mined yet. I want you to use the Wang family's financial resources to make a high-profile entry into China's diamond market, suppressing 'Su Hang Qintang', 'Tongling' and 'Aige' three high-end diamond brands. All three brands are operated by the Su family of Huaxia, can you do it?"

  "Of course, absolutely no problem! Don't worry, Mr., Wang's diamond will definitely make a big impact on the Chinese market in two months!"

  "As for the operation in Huaxia, I can recommend a suitable person to you, her name is Zhang Mingqi..."

  Hanging up the phone, Wang Zhong muttered to himself towards the distance: "Old man, since you've made me come back this time, I'll have to get ready to take action too. Not avenging a grudge isn't my style. The things that belong to me, I must take back."

  …………

  "Dad, I have something to ask you."

  Father Zhang Xiaoci is reading a book in his study. Seeing his daughter return, a warm and loving expression appears on his face.

  "What's wrong? What's so urgent?"

  "Dad, I have something very important to ask you about Mom. No matter what, please tell me the truth."

  Zhang Xiaoci was taken aback!

  He has already seen something different from his daughter's eyes! Has his daughter known the truth?

  This is absolutely impossible! Trying to confront the Su family with one's own strength is absolutely a futile effort! If my daughter finds out the truth, with her temperament, she will definitely take revenge regardless of the consequences!

  So many years, I have been hiding it well, never mentioning these things to them. Why? Why did my daughter find out today? Is someone intentionally trying to bring down the Zhang family? Are those old guys from back then jumping out again?

  "Dad, answer me quickly." Zhang Mingqi's eyes had an endless desire to know the truth, and seeing her father dazed there, her heart was also sinking lower and lower.

  Zhang Mingqi, a highly intelligent person, would not fail to understand his father's subtle facial expressions, which hinted at emotions that contained a kind of pain and entanglement, as if old wounds were being reopened.

  "Dad, from your expression I can already see the truth, but I still want to hear it from your own mouth." Zhang Mingqi's voice suddenly became unusually calm, because she had adjusted herself in an instant. If all of this was as Wang Zhuang said, then she understood that she couldn't pretend to know nothing, she must remain calm, because the enemy - was really very strong.

  Zhang Xiaoci leaned back in his chair, his entire body seeming to have been drained of energy. After a long while, he slowly said: "Mingqi, who told you all this?"

  "Dad, just answer my question. Did mom die from penicillin allergy or was it at the hands of the Su family?"

  Zhang Xiaoci slapped the table, stood up and shouted: "Mingqi, you know this is not good for you! From now on, let's keep this matter in our stomachs, in our stomachs!"

  Zhang Mingqi smiled wryly: "Father, I know you're doing this to protect me and my brother. Don't worry, I won't tell him. But how can I pretend not to know about this? The person who killed our mother is right there, how can I remain indifferent?"

  "Father, even if you know the truth, you can still live a stable life, but I won't be able to, I just can't."

  Zhang Mingqi turned her face, gently wiped the corner of her eye, and walked out of her father's study, leaving Zhang Xiaoci slumped in the chair.

  "Hey, Wang Zheng, I'm Zhang Mingqi."

  Wang Zheng's calm voice came from the other end of the phone, as if he had expected Zhang Mingqi to make such a choice: "Tell me how much adjustment time you need."

  "I don't need to adjust. I have to say, if all of this was part of your plan, then your mind is truly terrifying. Cooperating with someone like you, I'm not sure if it's good fortune or bad luck. However, you've successfully persuaded me." Zhang Mingqi's expression had an unprecedented determination.

  It was already late at night, and Zhang Mingqi was still sitting on the bay window, staring outside, lost in thought.

  At this time, the bedroom door was pushed open and Zhang Xiaoci walked in.

  Zhang Mingqi just looked at her father for a moment without saying anything, then turned her face back towards the window.

  Zhang Xiaoci placed a blue folder in front of Zhang Mingqi and said, "This is the result of my secret investigation over the years, which may be helpful to you. Also, the Blue Ocean Group is just a small part of the Zhang family's business, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the Su family, I have already shifted the focus of the industry to Africa. There is also a relationship map of mine in Huaxia in the folder, some people can be relied on at critical moments, if you are willing to take this path, these resources can all be called upon."

  Zhang Mingqi stood up and looked at his father deeply, with very complex emotions in his eyes.

  Zhang Xiaoci patted his daughter's shoulder and said kindly, "Let go and do it. I originally wanted to complete this impossible task in my lifetime, but unexpectedly, my children have grown up and I've also gotten old."

  After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaoci slowly turned around and walked out of the room, his back seeming to age several years in an instant.

  At this moment, looking at his father's back, Zhang Mingqi suddenly felt an unbearable heartache.
