Chapter 1326 Is This Too Cruel?

Chen Yu Tong did not know where she should go, but she was indeed feeling heartbroken.

The matter of the inheritance was only part of it; what made her heart ache more was that Zhan Yang Yi had chosen to resolve these matters without telling her.

And he had done so in a way that was completely contrary to her wishes.

Chen Yu Tong felt as though her heart had been cruelly trampled upon. She had always been looking out for the family, so why couldn't Zhan Yang Yi understand?

"I'm sorry, baby, Mom doesn't want this either, but Mom and Dad are no longer the same as before."

She touched her belly, her heart heavy, but there was no other solution.

"Yu Tong!"

The sky was gradually darkening, but Zhan Yang Yi had not given up. His voice was already hoarse, but he still tried to call out Chen Yu Tong's name.

"Brother, it's getting late. Even if we keep searching like this, we might not find her," Zhan Yi Chen said, frowning.

From his perspective, he could only see how much Zhan Yang Yi was suffering because of Chen Yu Tong.

Wei Yu Meng nodded as well, "Brother, the way sister-in-law is acting now, she clearly wants us to find her. She must be hiding somewhere we wouldn't think of. Why don't we leave it to the bodyguards and the police to search?"

But Zhan Yang Yi shook his head, "No, I can't do that. She is my wife, and she is pregnant..."

Zhan Yang Yi dared not imagine what he would do if something happened to Chen Yu Tong in this condition.

Zhan Mo Han frowned. Although he knew this might not be the right place to discuss it, he had to make things clear.

"Brother, I need to confirm some things with you," Zhan Mo Han said, his tone icy.

Zhan Yang Yi was stunned, seemingly taken aback by Zhan Mo Han's tone.

The others fell silent, watching the two of them.

"The day Grandpa passed away, you were the last ones to leave, right?"

Zhan Yang Yi didn't know why Zhan Mo Han suddenly brought this up, but he tried to recall and nodded.

"Alright," Zhan Mo Han continued, "The last person who approached Grandpa was Chen Yu Tong, wasn't it? You didn't actually go in again in the end."

"Yu Tong was very erratic that day, so I had to escort her back. Afterwards..."

At this point, Zhan Yang Yi paused slightly. He seemed to understand why Zhan Mo Han was asking.

Everyone present was startled. What Zhan Yang Yi had realized, they had all realized.

Zhan Yi Chen looked incredulous, "Brother, are you serious?"

Zhan Mo Han remained silent, his gaze fixed sternly on Zhan Yang Yi.

"Why? Why would she do that? That was Grandpa!" Zhan Yi Chen was unusually agitated.

Zhan Mo Han continued calmly, "This is the result of the investigation. I know it might not be directly related to you, but I don't think you'd want Grandpa to have died unnaturally."

"No!" Zhan Yang Yi took a deep breath and shook his head firmly, "I don't believe it. I don't believe Yu Tong would do something like that."

Wei Yu Meng looked at Zhan Mo Han, then at Zhan Yang Yi. Both of them had eyes filled with pain.

This was something that neither side could easily accept.

However, Wei Yu Meng was also puzzled. When they had discussed it earlier, they couldn't conclude that Zhan Yang Yi's family was responsible; it was only suspicion.

But now Zhan Mo Han was so certain. Had there been any new discoveries?

"You know the situation at the time better than we do. Think about it carefully," Zhan Mo Han said, then turned away, no longer looking at Zhan Yang Yi.

"Mo Han..." Wei Yu Meng approached Zhan Mo Han, concerned, only to find his eyes filled with sadness and grief.

"Brother, what exactly happened that day?" Zhan Yi Chen was still confused. "Why did the investigation yield such results?"

He desperately wished this was all a misunderstanding.

"Yu Tong... she wouldn't..." Zhan Yang Yi muttered, not hearing Zhan Yi Chen's words.

Mu Lin Jing stepped forward and took Zhan Yi Chen's arm, telling him to stop asking.

Zhan Yang Yi, who had been intending to find Chen Yu Tong, had now lost that will.

He didn't know the truth of the matter anymore. He didn't know if he should still try to find Chen Yu Tong.

While he was in a daze, Zhan Mo Han had someone pull him into a car and send him home.

Watching them leave, Zhan Mo Han's expression relaxed considerably.

Wei Yu Meng seized the opportunity to ask Zhan Mo Han, "Mo Han, why did you say that? Are you really sure it was Yu Tong..."

"No," Zhan Mo Han sighed. "If I hadn't said that, how could I have convinced Big Brother to go back obediently? Besides..."

Zhan Mo Han looked in the direction Zhan Yang Yi had just left, "Besides, although it's not certain yet, that possibility is indeed the greatest. So, I hope Big Brother can think it through early and make a decisive break."

Wei Yu Meng understood now. Since Chen Yu Tong had left home herself and was at odds with the Zhan family, it might mean she could no longer integrate into the Zhan family. Moreover, she was a suspect in Grandpa Zhan's death.

As the head of the family, Zhan Mo Han could not tolerate such a person.

Wei Yu Meng found the situation cruel, but perhaps it was necessary for the sake of the Zhan family.

Zhan Yi Chen, overhearing their conversation, finally understood what was going on.

"Then, Brother, should we still look for her?" Zhan Yi Chen clenched his fists as he spoke.

If Chen Yu Tong had really done something like that, he felt it would be better not to find her at all.

But Zhan Mo Han still nodded, "Of course we must look. We've told Big Brother the facts, but this is something he needs to handle himself."

Although Zhan Mo Han appeared outwardly unfazed, Wei Yu Meng could sense how difficult it must have been for him to make such a decision.

If they had a choice, none of them would want things to come to this point.

From Chen Yu Tong's demand for inheritance to being implicated in Grandpa Zhan's death, it was no small matter.

Zhan Yi Chen seemed to have a different opinion on the matter, but since Zhan Mo Han had already decided, he couldn't say much more.

After that, none of them spoke further, and they silently returned to their respective homes.

In the car, Wei Yu Meng reached out and held Zhan Mo Han's hand, offering him support.

Zhan Mo Han squeezed her hand back tightly, "Was I too cruel in doing this, for Big Brother?"

Wei Yu Meng shook her head. "You just did what you had to do. And in the end, how it turns out will depend on Big Brother, not on us."
