The old butler's voice was hoarse, obviously in a hurry, and the whole person was a little anxious.

At this moment, a small sound suddenly came from not far away.

Zhan Wenlan's hand trembled slightly, and when he looked up, Commander Zhan didn't know when he was already standing there, and he seemed to hear it clearly from beginning to end.

Therefore, Commander Zhan's face was extremely complicated at the moment, obviously, he knew that his son's achievements were extraordinary, but overnight, he was not only entangled in lawsuits, but also involved huge compensation, which was really a little unacceptable for a while.

Commander Zhan is a person who has really been in the barracks all his life, and he never touches things in the mall. At the moment, in addition to being powerless, I feel a dilemma.

Zhan Wenlan lowered his eyes, and the light of the hall cast a shadow on his face.

In the Zhan family, his father has always avoided matters involving his grandmother. It was not so much a matter of respecting the mother-in-law's private space, but rather of essentially not wanting to make any gestures of favor to the old man, who had despised him so much in his youth.

Before the Zhan family had a career, Commander Zhan was just an ordinary squad leader in the barracks. Back then, many people laughed at him as a blind cat who met a dead mouse, and a flower was inserted in cow dung. However, only the people in the family know what kind of tricks he had been subjected to when he first went to see this mother-in-law.

Commander Zhan was not without dignity when he was young, on the contrary, he was able to boil out in the barracks, all of them were made of steel and iron, and the worst thing was blood and will, if he didn't really like his current wife, he would never be able to swallow his anger and hide the banter eyes of her mother's family coldly in the bottom of his heart, and turn to fight desperately.

I'd rather bully the white bearded man than the poor boy!

Outsiders think that he is riding the Leng family's hitchhiker, but no one knows what kind of humble background the current commander was in the eyes of his wife and family.

Zhan Wenlan's gaze always looks so clear, but it is so sharp and to the point.

Although it was only a moment of eye contact, Commander Zhan clearly saw the meaning of his eyes.

At that moment, Commander Zhan glanced at the slightly embarrassed old butler, and his fists, which had always been clenched, clenched for a while. The next moment, turn around, go upstairs and leave.

Zhan Wenlan retracted his gaze expressionlessly, and a faint mocking smile curled into his lips.

The old butler also seemed to have noticed a slightly awkward atmosphere in the air, and for a while the topic of the "Alliance" prosecution was frozen in mid-air, and he didn't know how to continue.

After a long time, Zhan Wenlan stood up, took out his laptop, connected to the Internet, and checked the most important investments in the UK, obviously, the investments have been affected, although the funds have not all been put in, but it is indeed difficult to take them out at once now.

The funds can't be used casually, he frowned, and then began to search the web. The media in the UK has always been a little too aggressive, and this point in time is only two hours before the lawyer's lawyer for the "coalition" filed a lawsuit, but basically the major British portals are already in the top headlines.

£5 billion!

It's really a topic that can make people dizzy just by looking at the number zero.

The five pharmaceutical alliance units are extremely good in terms of financial resources and reputation in the UK, and at present, from the perspective of public opinion, X in "deceptive management" is completely opposite to these five reputable enterprises.

Regardless of the professionalism of judges, people have first impressions, and the baptism of criminal psychology on the judges who come into contact with all kinds of criminals every day also puts him in an extremely disadvantaged position.

Zhan Wenlan stiffly covered his face with his hands, he had been at Harvard for so long, and he had listened to classes at the world-famous Harvard Law School a few times, and he basically knew everything about the British and American judicial systems.

Unlike the United States, which adopts a dual-track system of legislation and justice, Britain adopts a unitary system of structural form, with more feudal elements, and because of historical reasons, the bourgeois revolution is not complete, and many feudal legal systems and principles have been retained, so the court often overemphasizes tradition and the spirit of the law is more conservative. As a result, most judges remain conservative about the law, applying the principle of stare decisis more strictly, and the law is less flexible. In the United States, judges are more open-minded in the application of precedents and legal interpretations, and will not hesitate to overturn precedents and create new legal rules as long as the society needs them. In addition, U.S. courts have the power to interpret precedents and statutory provisions in judicial interpretation, which often results in great flexibility in the meaning of precedent rules and statutory provisions, so there is more room for flexibility.

If he was sued in the United States, he would still have room for manoeuvre, but now, he is directly crucified in the United Kingdom. Even if he hires a big-name lawyer, it will not have much impact on the case. Unless it is the "god" who has come back to life in the legal profession, it is only a matter of time before he loses.

He didn't know if it was a deliberate operation behind it or a simple coincidence. But in either case, it's worse for him at the moment.

"You go and rest first, I want to be alone." Lanzhi Fanghua's face was already dark and astringent, Zhan Wenlan nodded to the old butler, and went out with the computer alone.

At this time, most of the people outside were already asleep.

He didn't go for a car, but walked along the side of the road, all the way to the lake.

There is an artificial lake near Zhan's house, which is not large, but it is extremely quiet. The funny thing is that now, the first thing he thinks about in his mind is not his own industry, but the tossing and turning is the distant side face of Yunxi at night that makes him tremble, as long as he thinks about it slightly, his heart feels so hollow that he can't even think at all.

It was already late, sitting on the grass by the lake, Zhan Wenlan looked at the lake with a wry smile, and the whole person was a little stunned.

X's identity, he hid it extremely hard, in the Zhan family, relying on his grandmother's help to get the first pot of gold, this is a taboo topic. In any case, the relationship between my grandmother and my father has been deeply rooted, and even if everyone laughs and laughs when they meet, they are always separated by a mask. From the moment he was born, he knew the responsibility he had to bear. Therefore, after becoming X, it is not like the average young and successful youth will make a big splash, and even, on the contrary, his first feeling is that he must suppress the news.

In China, he went to school and took exams like ordinary peers, but he went abroad to take care of company affairs by chance.

When the old butler told him that the companies controlled by X were all affected, he already knew it.

In this world, if there is another person who can turn his background upside down and give full play to the greatest effect, it is Leng Yunxi! Only Leng Yunxi!

It seems that from the first time I saw her, this girl who was younger than him was hiding many secrets.

dancing and stunning voice in "Never Sleeping", the strength in front of Xiao Ran, and even the holding of a gun in the hands of Chen Hao's half-dyed black person, every time he saw her, he was amazing. But what is even more unconscious is repeated speculation, and in the end, when the truth is revealed, what kind of appearance will Yunxi face in the face of him?

However, I have thought about it countless times and thought about it countless times, but I didn't realize that it was so cold.

She wouldn't even let him see him.

Zhan Wenlan suddenly grabbed a handful of grass beside him and squeezed it fiercely into his hand.

She revealed his identity in front of the whole world, but hung him like this, because she felt that this could force him to be at a loss and turn over and not forget?

So, until now, everyone only knows that x is Chinese, but they don't know that x is Zhan Wenlan?

He really wanted to go in the best direction, Yunxi was worried about his original feelings, and he didn't do things to the best. But, tonight, the moment he saw her standing in front of the window, he knew it.

He never missed a bit.

Perhaps, they have been together day and night, perhaps, she has sincerely accepted his marriage proposal. But once he did, he was nothing to her.

Abandoned like a shoe, like those admirers she once threw away, without attachment.

Since he met Leng Yunxi, he has always taken the initiative to pursue, to explore, to go to France to walk the catwalk, to Hong Kong for exchanges, to study in the United States, every step of the way, he is thrilling, carefully planned, always feel that everything is carried out according to his own ideas.

But now, suddenly, when she turned to leave, she was as cold as promised, and he couldn't help but doubt, or rough, from the beginning, it was just his own wishfulness?

As soon as this thought was born, he felt so painful that almost every breath was choked, and he couldn't breathe or close his eyes.

Opening the notebook, he forced himself to concentrate and sort out the five "alliance" pharmaceutical companies again.

Suddenly, his fingertips stayed straight on the position of the leading company for a long time, and at that moment, something in his pupils suddenly disillusioned, and the next moment, he smiled miserably, and his face was like a ghost.

Ross Pharmaceutical JSC, the initiator of the "Alliance", if he remembers correctly, seven months ago, the company was facing a change in shareholding. At the end of last year, the two holding groups, the most important shareholder members of Ross Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., reached a private agreement to reshuffle the shares of the two parties in view of the increasingly tight capital chain of the largest shareholder and the decline in the company's performance. In fact, the change of equity is not just a simple matter for the shareholders, supervisors, and directors of a company to vote, but also involves a complex number of things, and there are so many procedures that can make a senior elite lack of brainpower. In order to take into account the stock price of Ross Pharmaceutical AG, the resolution is basically known only to the leadership and the directors who have the right to speak, and it is not stated to the public. And he, if he remembers correctly, one of the people who participated in the equity change here was Yunxi.

As Zhang Bo's closed female disciple, in the United States, but has been in contact with the bigwigs of Ross Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. online, he was proud of his girlfriend's achievements, but he didn't expect that seven months later, this equity change case in full swing would easily become her starting point.

Even if there are five other pharmaceutical companies that have not surfaced at present, Zhan Wenlan smiled astringently, he was almost sure that the other five companies, Leng Yunxi, definitely had the means to control them?

Out of the window? Or is it the fight of the trapped beasts?

She only gave him two paths to choose from.

On the other side of the cliff, she stood in the wind, ethereal, and on this side of the cliff, he had been forced to the end, and both roads were dead.

As the old housekeeper said, even if the court is dredged, there is no way, and the verdict is on Leng Yunxi's side from the beginning.

As long as Ross Pharmaceutical AG bites this lawsuit to death, X's identity will by no means be his trump card, on the contrary, it will soon become his verdict!

At that time, only the media tracked down the slightest clue, and Shun Teng knew that he was the son of Commander Zhan, with a background in commercial crimes, and the Zhan family was not only his father, but the entire family would be ruined.

This is a seemingly silent and cold response, but in fact the most ruthless riposte.

Three months ago, the Zhan family pushed the Leng family up and down and sent them in to assist in the investigation, and now, Leng Yunxi also returned to him, easily putting the entire Zhan family in the limelight.

didn't reveal his identity as x, and it wasn't that his subordinates showed mercy.

On the contrary, he knew that there must be colder methods behind her.

The pale face looked more and more dull in the reflection of the lake. The computer screen left layers of light and shadow on his face, half broken, half bleak.

His heart, at this moment, was like being pierced by a stake.

He wasn't surprised by her wrist, but he didn't expect that he would be in such a predicament so quickly, with only a thunderous blow.

However, it cannot be returned.

If you retreat, the whole family will no longer have a foothold.

Although he has never had that kind of warmth for his father, he can see clearly the hardships of decades of climbing all the way from Nanjing to City B.

Once the career is truncated, he can see clearly that waiting for the Zhan family will never be the end of an idyllic home.

Leng Yunxi has never been a coquettish and stupid woman, he put down a stack of "evidence" and gave her a betrayal, and what she gave back to him was not a miserable scream and crazy scolding. Instead, she calmly showed a card and directly doubled the qiē she had suffered three months ago and threw it on his face again......

That night, Zhan Wenlan sat by the lake and did not go back.

The next day, at noon, he found a few people in the city's most famous commercial center.

Young, yuppies, and imposing, these are the characteristics common to the three men sitting opposite Zhan Wenlan.

The three of them glanced at each other, but suddenly smiled after a long time: "Wen Lan, I thought you would never have a down-and-out day." ”

Looking at Zhan Wenlan, who was only wearing a thin coat in front of him and his face was condensed, the three of them shook their heads in disbelief, "What kind of sacredness can make you, a madman who turns stones into gold, like this?" ”

Although the elementary school he once attended was a military district school, he had all kinds of people. There are not only the three friends who are still in the National University of Defense Technology and the Armored Forces Engineering College, but also the elite backbone who have come out of the military camp and put them into the business sea.

Facing the ridicule of these three former classmates, Zhan Wenlan was slightly distracted.

seemed to be holding Yunxi's hand, and seeing that his other three elementary school classmates were still close in front of him. He was in a trance in his eyes, that appointment with Mr. Zhang was just a scene, he understood that Mr. Zhang and Lao Qiao were a gang, but he didn't debunk it at all, but Yunxi knew that he had found out the truth, but he gave him the last chance to be honest that day.

Seeing that Zhan Wenlan was motionless, his gaze suddenly fixed on a place in the void, and the three teasing elites stopped at the same time.

The situation may be more complicated than they think.

When they heard that the alliance of five mainstream pharmaceutical companies had filed a lawsuit, the expressions of the three suddenly became more solemn.

"Britain has always boasted of being an empire on which the sun never sets, even people from ordinary European and American countries who have not done anything out of the ordinary there will be ostracized, and you have become the invisible rich of Britain for so many years ...... such a large sum." One of the three shook his head, on the one hand, he was shocked that Zhan Wenlan was the famous X, and on the other hand, he was really stumped by this stalemate: "We have some roots on the British side, but you had better be a little mentally prepared." "The words are not too absolute, but the meaning is already obvious.

Rao is staggering wealth, but in the face of a country's exclusivity, no amount of wealth will only become the focus of contradictions.

After all, the British will feel that the money X earns is all obtained on a deceitful basis. Not only businesses, but also the voices of the public will be one-sided. At that point, it was only a matter of time before the tree fell apart.

Zhan Wenlan nodded, "I'll go to the UK with you later, and the specific situation will not be clear until I get there." ”

The three of them looked at him and sighed. Before he had time to applaud his friend's amazing achievement, he was told that the situation was so critical. With their understanding of Zhan Wenlan, he may have lost his cool at this moment, otherwise, he would never be in such a passive situation.

Who's doing it? In addition to hitting his career, he made his whole person so abnormal?

The three of them didn't ask, just patted him on the shoulder: "You go back and clean up, and I'll see you at the airport in the afternoon." ”

Zhan Wenlan smiled, but the former Yushu Erya was already dim at the moment, and as soon as the smile was raised, it was already ruined and barren.

When he went home, Commander Zhan was having lunch, and his wife was talking to the old housekeeper in the side hall: "You didn't lie to me, my mother's body is really fine?" Then why did you return to China in such a hurry? ”

Zhan Wenlan's footsteps as he went upstairs paused.

Apparently, his mother didn't know what was going on.

Only in front of his mother, his father and grandmother always seem to have the same position, and they will never reveal the slightest news that makes his mother unhappy.

Sure enough, the old housekeeper smiled and said, "It's not that I miss the little master." Some time ago, the young master didn't call me back, I was worried, and the old woman couldn't rest assured, so let me take a look. ”

Zhan Wenlan's mother's eyes darkened, she knew why her son was so abnormal some time ago.

The relationship with the Leng family has been so many years, even if they are general, she and Zhang Cui have known each other for so long, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion. But sometimes, in the face of feelings, the situation, position, and ambition are more distinct.

Since her husband had already made a decision, and since her son had no objection, everything she said was in vain.

When Leng Yunxi's grandfather, father, and uncle were all asked to leave, she knew that no matter how knowledgeable her son was, he would not be able to stand it.

It's just that she never thought that Leng Yunxi disappeared for three months, and her son disappeared for three months.

The old housekeeper looked at her distressed and couldn't help but be silent.

"Mom, I'll go to England to visit my grandmother later, do you have anything you want me to bring over?" Zhan Wenlan tried his best to make his expression natural, and he would never show any negative impact in front of his mother, who was more emotional than rational.

"Ah, you're back!" She looked at Zhan Wenlan with some surprise, but the next moment she looked at his tired face and slightly wrinkled clothes, but she didn't know what to say.

"What are you standing there for? Come and eat. Commander Zhan couldn't bear it, coughed lightly, and pretended to be casual and called them over to eat.

Zhan Wenlan smiled at his mother: "It's okay, don't worry." ”

The old housekeeper suddenly felt a sour heart, turned his face sideways, and the next moment, the old tears in his eyes were longitudinal, but he didn't dare to look back, for fear of being seen by Mrs. Zhan.

Mrs. Zhan was kept in the dark, although she felt a little strange, but her mother had always favored Wen Lan, and he had disappeared for so long, and it was also appropriate to go to England to see the old man's house, so he didn't think about it anymore.

She didn't expect what kind of thrilling things her son would encounter when he went to the UK.......
