1278 1278: Misled
Eddie nodded his head. “I understand. I didn’t mean to come between you and your brother. I am only telling you this because I managed to call Ah Chuan yesterday, but I couldn’t call you yesterday. I just wanted to explain myself.”
However, Du Yanzheng didn’t care about what he said.
“You don’t have to explain yourself. Your explanation is just an excuse. You don’t even have to worry about us. We have no thoughts of returning to the Hess family. You don’t have to put in so much effort to mess with us.”
Eddie started panicking. Why was it that these two brothers loved misinterpreting his words?!
When did he try to come in between them?!
This…
Was this really the man who was trying to become the president?
Eddie felt as if he could never be able to properly talk with these two brothers.
“Yanzheng, I called today just to tell you that you can rest assured while running your elections. Your uncle and the Hess family would be your strongest support.”
Eddie assumed that he would be seeing a man who was touched after getting the support of his family. However, there was only a cold, stern look on his face, and there were no expressions on it. Du Yanzheng was like a professional politician, and no one was able to read his mind.
As for the things that Du Yanzheng said next, it broke Eddie’s heart.
“I am from Country Z, and my grandfather is a citizen of this country as well. My biggest support would be the citizens of this country along with my family, which consists of my grandfather and my younger brother.”
That was all he had in reply to Eddie.
He didn’t even refuse Eddie’s offer.
In other words, Du Yanzheng didn’t even care about the Hess family. For him, they were nothing.
Du Yanzheng was running to become the president of Country Z. What did that have to do with the Hess family that was based in the Centrals?
This was something that annoyed Eddie.
He tried his best to be nice. “Yanzheng, you shouldn’t say that. Even if you are only running for the presidency in Country Z, you still have to show the world how powerful you are. The Hess family is the richest family in the whole world, and we are involved in almost all industries across the globe. We have huge companies that manufacture army ships and satellites. We own small businesses like restaurants everywhere. We have businesses everywhere, and you can use this to beat your opponent.
“Yanzheng, you should know that I am not the one who killed your parents. When they left the Hess family, I visited you multiple times behind your grandfather’s back. I have been friendly to both you and your father, so you don’t have to be so hostile toward me. There’s no need for you to take me as your enemy. I will be able to help you become the next president.”
Eddie’s words were convincing, and if it were someone else, they would have been convinced.
However, the Sanctuary had been working with the Hess family for a long time, and they had infiltrated the Hess family. Although his men still couldn’t get into the deepest and darkest secret of the family and he still hadn’t found out who was the one who killed his parents, he was still well aware of who Eddie Hess was.
This man might not have been the one who killed his parents, but he was no different than a vampire.
Eddie Hess probably didn’t kill his parents because his mother had voluntarily given up her position. His mother was no longer a threat to him. He didn’t need to be personally involved in the murder of Du Yanzheng’s parents.
It definitely wasn’t because Eddie had a good relationship with his mother.
“Mr. Eddie, thank you for the offer, but I clearly remember that my mother has already left the family after giving up her position. This should be something that you would remember, right?”
Seeing how Eddie wasn’t saying much, Du Yanzheng continued, “Well, since my mother is no longer a member of the family, I don’t want anything to do with it as well. Mr. Eddie, it wouldn’t be necessary for you to put up such a loving act here.
“Mr. Eddie, you should be aware that if my mother didn’t give up on this spot, you wouldn’t have been able to stand where you are today. Since you have already benefited from that incident, you shouldn’t have acted as if you’ve got nothing to do with this. Whether or not I end up as the president, it would be up to the citizens of this country. If I do become the president, I will only be working for my people and not you.
“So….is there anything else that you would like to say? If there isn’t, I would be ending the call now since my time is precious. Also, other than calling me to tell me who the murderer is, please do not call me ever again.”
With that, Du Yanzheng ended the call, and he immediately called Zhan Lichuan’s number.
“What is it?”
Zhan Lichuan noticed that his elder brother was obsessed with him!
Ever since he showed the DNA report to Du Yanzheng, this elder brother of his had been calling him at least 10 times a day.
In the morning, he would call to ask if Zhan Lichuan had his breakfast and what he had for breakfast. Then, he would do the same during lunch and dinner. Du Yanzheng knew everything about what he ate including the soup that Zhan Lichuan drank.
Then, while he was in the midst of working, Du Yanzheng would call to ask if he got into any trouble. If Zhan Lichuan had none, Du Yanzheng would start talking about his own problem. He would talk about what happened during his election and what he was going to do about them, forcing Zhan Lichuan to participate in the conversation.
During tea time, Du Yanzheng would call to ask if he was working or if he was having a break. If Zhan Lichuan was working, Du Yanzheng would say that he should take a break and rest. If Zhan Lichuan said that he was having a cup of coffee, Du Yanzheng would then say that drinking too much caffeine might cause him to lose sleep at night and would start lecturing Zhan Lichuan on how to take care of his health.
In the evening, Du Yanzheng would ask about where he would be having dinner. Du Yanzheng would then meet him for dinner no matter if it was at the Zhan or the Di household.
Just when he thought that this was everything, Zhan Lichuan would still have to call Du Yanzheng once he got home. He would even have to tell his brother when he was going to bed.
If Zhan Lichuan said 10, his brother would ask him why he was going to bed so early. If he said 11, the other party would ask him what he was up to that night. If he said 12, his brother would start lecturing him about not going to bed so late at night since he would be having a meeting the next morning.
In conclusion, it would be impossible for his wife to call him because his brother called him all the time.
Since he learned that his wife was Saka, Zhan Lichuan took the time and effort to learn about Saka and Z. He even found out that his wife had been adopted by his brother when she was younger.
Saka lost her parents at a young age. Even when she inherited their fortunes, she was still a child. She was then brought up by Z, and both of them were close.
When Saka got sick, she could no longer take how domineering he was, and both of them stray further away from each other.
Now, Du Yanzheng had stopped disturbing his wife but turned toward him instead.
When Zhan Lichuan saw the caller ID, he glanced at his wife who was already laughing.
He finally understood why Saka refused to be with Du Yanzheng.
This was because this man was the total opposite of his cold, manly appearance.
He was super…..
Super….
Super clingy!!!!
But, this was his elder brother.
His biological brother!
Forget about the rest, but his brother was the one who took care of him when he himself was only a four-year-old toddler. They were running away from their enemies, but his brother still fought the bullies who threw away his milk powder. Although his brother lost him after three days, Zhan Lichuan would never forget what Du Yanzheng had done for him.
