Chapter 1474 Facing It Together

"The President of Zhan Group, Zhan Mohan, is continuously embroiled in allegations of using substandard materials for a project, which consequently led to a worker's death. Zhan Mohan has now been apprehended by the police. Sources close to the matter reveal that the police have already secured sufficient evidence regarding this incident, and Zhan Group is likely to face complete collapse as a result."

Upon seeing this news, Wei Yumeng felt a pang of sadness and turned off the television.

Although shareholders of Zhan Group were temporarily standing by the company with the help of Zhan Yangyi and Zhan Yichen, this situation would not last.

If Wei Yumeng could not provide an explanation for this matter in a timely manner, these shareholders would eventually leave.

Wei Yumeng sighed and glanced at the various documents on her desk. Many business partners had already requested to terminate their cooperation with Zhan Group. Although she was intentionally delaying them for now, they showed no intention of backing down.

How much longer could she hold on? Where was the breakthrough to this problem?

"Mom..." Zhan Shiqing walked up to Wei Yumeng. She had not expected her previous premonitions to come true.

News of Zhan Mohan's situation had already spread everywhere, and naturally, the children could not be kept in the dark.

Wei Yumeng reached out and stroked Zhan Shiqing's head. "What is it?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Dad, right? Dad was just being used by bad people," Zhan Shiqing asked stubbornly.

"Of course, your father would not do such a thing."

"Then why does the whole world think Dad did it?" Zhan Shiqing felt increasingly distressed. She wished she could do something for Zhan Mohan, but she was so weak, what could she do?

Zhan Jinzhi walked out of the room. "Mom, I think you should go see Dad. Perhaps you can find other clues from him."

Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Jinzhi. She had to admit that it was indeed necessary for her to go.

She had not left before because she was worried about the situation at Zhan Group. Now that Zhan Yangyi and Zhan Yichen had joined in, she could finally have a moment to breathe.

"Alright, I'll go then."

As Wei Yumeng arrived at the detention center where Zhan Mohan was held, her heart ached. She could not imagine how Zhan Mohan was living there.

"Miss Wei, please wait a moment. I'll go and bring him over," the police officer said and left.

Soon, Zhan Mohan appeared on the other side of the glass window.

Although Zhan Mohan still looked handsome, he had become much thinner and had even grown a beard.

"Mohan, are you not doing well here? Has anyone hurt you?"

Wei Yumeng worried incessantly, recalling the news she had heard about mistreatment of detainees in detention centers.

Zhan Mohan's gaze remained gentle. "Silly girl, this is a detention center. The police are watching, so there won't be any problems."

Wei Yumeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Mohan, I'm getting more confused about this matter. They say this was your plan all along, but I know you wouldn't do something like this. Yet, who would do all this? Do you have any thoughts on it?"

However, Zhan Mohan did not answer her immediately. Instead, he said, "Yumeng, listen to me. Don't get involved in this matter. Take the children and go abroad to lie low for a while."

During his time here, Zhan Mohan had realized that the opponent this time was more formidable than any previous one. They intended to destroy the entire Zhan Group.

He could do nothing here, and therefore, no one could protect the safety of Wei Yumeng and the children.

If Wei Yumeng continued to investigate and stumbled upon something she shouldn't, her life could be in danger.

Even if it meant sacrificing himself and the entire Zhan Group this time, one thing he was sure of was that he had to ensure their safety no matter what.

"No, I can't do that, Mohan. I can't leave you here alone. Moreover, this wasn't done by you. If we don't find out the truth, how can you get out?"

Wei Yumeng truly did not understand Zhan Mohan's intentions. In the past, no matter what difficulties they faced, they could overcome them together. How could she leave with the children now?

"This is not something you can handle. I must ensure your and the children's safety."

"No... I can't do it! I really can't!" Wei Yumeng shook her head. "Mohan, have you forgotten? We promised we would face everything together, no matter what. I know this matter might be difficult to handle, but I still believe that it's not a dead end yet. As long as we try, we can definitely find something."

Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan firmly, her gaze seeming to demand a definite answer from him, which would give her the courage to continue.

"Mohan, do you know? When this happened, I was shocked. But because you were always there, I had the courage to face it until now. Why do I want to keep going, but you want me to give up?"

Zhan Mohan remained silent, simply looking at Wei Yumeng. Her eyes seemed to hold countless stars of infinite power, and when he looked at them, he was also infected by her courage and perseverance.

"I know you are worried about our safety, but you can rest assured, I will not let myself or the children be in danger."

Wei Yumeng continued to persuade him relentlessly, refusing to change her mind no matter what.

Finally, Zhan Mohan relented. "Alright, I've lost to you again. I agree to your continuing the investigation, but you must first ensure your safety."

Wei Yumeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Mohan, no matter when it is, you can trust me, and I will always trust you."

As she spoke, she reached her hand toward the glass in front of her, and Zhan Mohan also extended his hand, overlapping with hers.

However, this was all the contact they could have now; they could not truly touch each other through the glass.

Zhan Mohan chuckled softly. "Since you're trying so hard, I should do something too."

Wei Yumeng paused slightly and looked at Zhan Mohan. "Mohan, do you have a solution already?"

Zhan Mohan shook his head. "I'm not sure, but I can try. I just don't know if the final outcome will be as we hope."

He then looked at the police officer beside him. "Please inform your superior that I have something to say to him."

Although the police officer had some reservations, he went to report to the officer in charge.

Zhan Mohan explained to Wei Yumeng, "I had originally planned to propose this plan after you and the children were safe. Now I've changed my mind. Just as you said, we should face this matter together."
