Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 525 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (4)

Aunt Chen is Yan's mother's best friend, and the two often go shopping and play mahjong together.

Yan's mother asked, "What do you want with your Aunt Chen?"

“The resort hotel where Shenghan and I stayed last night belongs to her family. I asked her to grant me access to the surveillance cameras, from the hotel corridors to all the entrances and exits of the parking lot.”

Also, I remember her hotel can track which card opened the door through room key records. I need to see how I unknowingly left that hotel and ended up here inexplicably.

Upon hearing this, Gao Shenghan's heart tightened.

He bribed the hotel's cleaning staff to enter the room under the pretext of cleaning, and then took the unconscious Yan Zhen out in the cleaning cart.

Gao Shenghan isn't worried about checking the surveillance footage, but if the room key opening records lead back to the cleaning staff, there's a certain probability he'll be exposed.

Realizing this, Gao Shenghan quickly stopped him, saying, "A-Zhen, let's forget about it."

"Forget it?" Yan Zhen frowned. "Why should we forget it?"

“The Chen family started in the hotel and catering industry. That resort hotel is their flagship business. If the investigation goes wrong and things get out of hand, it could affect their stock.” Gao Shenghan explained logically. “Our mother and Aunt Chen have a good relationship. Let’s not cause them any trouble because of this.”

Yan's father disagreed: "This concerns Zhenzhen's safety. This is no small matter and we must find out the truth."

Mother Yan nodded in agreement: "Yes, if there are any safety hazards in the hotel, finding them out will actually help the Chen family."

Hearing them say that, Gao Shenghan thought for a moment and said, "Then leave it to me. Dad, Mom, you and Azhen don't need to worry about it. I'll let you know when the investigation results are out."

The two elders trusted their son-in-law's abilities: "Okay."

As they were talking, Yan's father's assistant came up.

He handed Yan's father a checkbook and a pen. Yan's father waved his hand and wrote a check for five million, handing it to the man.

The man took the check, his eyes frequently glancing at Yan Zhen, his unease evident in his gaze.

Clearly, he felt he shouldn't take the money.

Yan Zhen ignored him.

The man put away the check, said goodbye to Yan's parents, and prepared to leave.

Yan Zhen recalled the online guide's description of how "after the affair happened, he disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead," and casually said to his father's assistant, "Xiao Zhang, drive this gentleman home."

Although the man was Jing Chen, Yan Zhen didn't intend to interfere too much in his affairs, considering that she had already broken up with him.

Sending him home and giving him a check was more than enough; whether he would lose his life was entirely up to his luck.

"Okay, Miss."

After the man left, Yan Zhen and the others also headed back home.

The Yan family's residence is a European-style manor built in a prime location in the city center, covering a vast area.

As the car drove into the manor, Yan Zhen had just gotten out when a boy wearing a white shirt and black overalls rushed over and buried his face in her arms.

"Mom, where did you go? Why are you only coming back now!"

Yan Zhen instinctively helped the boy up.

The boy looked up. He had big eyes with long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, fair skin, and red lips. He vaguely resembled Gao Shenghan in his features. He was an extremely handsome child.

This should be Gao Xinyu, the son of the original owner and Gao Shenghan.

Yan Zhen ruffled his hair, and when he reached out to take the bag from her hand, she handed it to him and put her arm around his shoulder as they walked toward the living room: "Mom and Dad went out for a walk."

Gao Xinyu was raised by the Yan family elders from a young age. His personality is like the original owner of the body; he is a loving, gentle, and romantic child.

In his previous life, Gao Shenghan ruthlessly murdered his wife's entire family, and Gao Xinyu was the only survivor of the Yan family.

Are you feeling better now?

"Much better," Yan Zhen said with a smile.

"That's good." Gao Xinyu said excitedly, "My uncle made a new doll yesterday, it's so beautiful! I took a picture and posted it on WeChat Moments, did you see it?"

Yan Zhen paused slightly: "Not yet, I'll go and give you a thumbs up later."

"it is good!"

When Yan's father, who had followed behind, heard this, his face darkened: "Is your good-for-nothing uncle messing with the dolls again?"

"Grandpa~~~" Gao Xinyu turned around and hugged Yan's father's arm when he heard this. "You mustn't say that about Uncle. Uncle is not a good-for-nothing."

"..." Yan's father looked like he wanted to get angry, but he couldn't resist his grandson's coquettishness, so he could only put on a stern face, snort, and quicken his pace to enter the door.

As soon as the group entered the living room, an elderly woman with gray hair and a short stature rushed out to greet them.

The old lady looked to be at least eighty years old, but she was very agile. She was carrying a pillow in her hand and hurried outside.

Two anxious servants caught up from behind.

"Grandma, don't run away!!"

"Grandma, please slow down and watch your step!"

Seeing this, Yan's father quickly reached out to stop the old lady.

But when the old lady saw his arms outstretched like a roc spreading its wings, she used a feint and nimbly bent down to slip under his armpits.

Yan's father: "..."

He slapped his thigh and, wearing a mask of pain, chased after them with his servant.

"Mom! Mom! Don't fall!"

Yan Zhen and Gao Xinyu exchanged a glance.

Gao Xinyu sighed helplessly: "Grandpa's had another episode."

The old lady is Yan Zhen's grandmother. She is 83 years old this year and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a few years ago.

After falling ill, the old lady had a good appetite, but suffered from intermittent amnesia. When she had an attack, she would carry around an embroidered pillow, insisting that it was her most beloved granddaughter, Zhenzhen.

Before long, a dozen servants and bodyguards joined in the operation to surround the old lady. Everyone was afraid of hurting her, so they dared not make any big movements or chase her too fast. They could only be led around the fountain in the center of the manor by the old lady.

Yan Zhen and Gao Xinyu stood in the living room, watching this scene with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Just then, footsteps sounded behind Yan Zhen. He turned around and saw a tall man in pajamas, with messy hair sticking up on his head, rubbing his eyes as he walked down the spiral staircase.

Upon seeing the other person's face clearly, Yan Zhen narrowed his eyes.

Zhou Yanqing?

Is he also on a mission in this world?

She remembered that Zhou Yanqing's job was to substitute for the deceased, and she didn't have any memories when she entered the world to carry out missions.

Moreover, unlike the job of a "survivor", the "survivor" is a transmigrator who is born into this world and grows up in it. Before the mission is completed, they do not know that they are a member of the Quick Transmigration Division.

Yan Zhen searched his memories and quickly identified Zhou Yanqing's identity in this world—Yan Heng, the original owner's good-for-nothing, bullied younger brother.

Yan Heng is only one year younger than Yan Zhen, and is 37 years old this year.

A 37-year-old man who has accomplished nothing, refuses to get married, dislikes going out, and is even less willing to work. He spends all his time in the basement of his home tinkering with a type of doll called BJD.

Because of this, Yan's father, who only had this one son and hoped he would become a dragon among men, often beat him.

Yan Heng didn't fight back after being beaten, and after sulking, he continued to do as he pleased.
