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

Chapter 387 The Bride of the Sea God (46)

After leaving the villa on Changming Road, Yan Zhen took Nolan straight to the Si Group.

When she arrived at the company, her father was in a meeting.

Yan Zhen sat in the president's office for a long time before he finally came out of the conference room, his face showing exhaustion.

"Dad, how did the meeting go?"

Si's father paused for a moment, then said, "It's not optimistic. The board of directors opposes shutting down the mermaid industry."

Yan Zhen was not surprised by this result.

A 30% profit margin is enough for capitalists to ignore risks and public opinion.

Si's father said, "Give me a little more time, and I will continue to try. As for the mermaids, you keep them calm."

Yan Zhen nodded and prepared to leave with Nolan.

She had just turned around when her father suddenly called out to her, "Wait."

Yan Zhen turned his head: "What's wrong, Dad?"

Upon hearing this address, Mr. Si paused for a moment, then said, "My daughter... can she still come back?"

Yan Zhen was taken aback.

She immediately realized that the "daughter" her father was referring to was not Si Lan.

She is the original owner of the body she is currently occupying, Si Xia.

From the first moment he saw her, Si's father knew she wasn't Si Xia.

Meeting Si's father's earnest gaze, Yan Zhen gently shook her head: "I can't come back."

The light in Si's father's eyes quickly dimmed, and he slumped back in his chair.

Yan Zhen turned back and stood in front of the desk. She had a feeling that her father still had something to ask her.

Sure enough, Si's father rubbed his face, perked up, and asked, "Are you a mermaid?"

Yan Zhen shook his head: "I can't tell you my background right now, but I have no ill intentions towards you or the Si family."

“I can see that.” Si’s father sighed. “I will do my best to cooperate with you to stop the merfolk from retaliating against human society… Don’t let Xiaxia’s mother know about this; she has a heart condition.”

"it is good."

As Yan Zhen left the president's office, he seemed lost in thought.

No wonder Si's father readily agreed to shut down the mermaid industry yesterday after learning about the huge conspiracy the mermaids had plotted against humanity.

He had already discovered that he was not the real Si Xia.

From his perspective, his eldest daughter was unconscious, and his youngest daughter's body had been taken over by something of unknown origin, all of which seemed to be related to the merfolk.

If they don't compromise, the Si family will face annihilation.

It's often said that when people get rich to a certain extent, they either become extremely arrogant and domineering, or they become incredibly timid and cautious.

Yan Zhen secretly rejoiced that Si's father belonged to the latter category.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Yan Zhen decided to go to Wei Shucheng's house.

As she rode the elevator downstairs, she noticed Nolan secretly observing her.

"What are you looking at me doing?"

Nolan frowned and asked in a low voice, "You're not Si Xia?"

"Correct."

She admitted it so readily that Nolan was stunned: "Then who are you?"

Yan Zhen said in a serious tone, "I am an angel who came down to earth to save Shengjing and prevent the merfolk and humans from killing each other."

Nolan clearly believed her, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

On the way to Wei Shucheng's house, Nolan, sitting in the sidecar of the tricycle, seemed lost in thought and remained silent.

When they arrived at Wei Shucheng's house, Yan Zhen had just parked his sidecar when Nolan grabbed his arm.

His eyes were full of worry: "Are you leaving?"

Yan Zhen was baffled by his question: "Go? Go where?"

"After the killing between humans and merfolk ends, will you return to the heavens?"

Yan Zhen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I think so."

Although she planned to stay in this world for another forty years after completing her mission, she would eventually have to leave.

Nolan panicked: "Don't go, don't go!"

“I’m not leaving now.” Yan Zhen tried to pull her arm out of his grasp.

Nolan refused to let go: "Don't ever leave again!"

Yan Zhen patted his head: "Don't worry, I won't leave anytime soon. I'll live here until I die."

Nolan paused for a moment: "What does 'living until death' mean?"

"That is, to live to the point where Si Xia's body dies of old age."

Nolan frowned: "Then how long can this body live?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to live for another forty years without any problem."

After hearing this, Nolan seemed lost in thought and didn't respond.

Yan Zhen met with Wei Shucheng, and the two exchanged information they had gathered.

Wei Shucheng said with concern, "Most of the members of the group's board of directors are relatives of the Si family, and the chairman is a person who values ​​family unity and is soft-hearted. If these people insist on opposing, he may not be able to handle it."

Yan Zhen also considered this point: "If Si Lan were to handle this, what do you think she would do?"

Without hesitation, Wei Shucheng said, "She will get rid of all the relatives who oppose her first."

Yan Zhen understood: "I understand."

She had barely finished speaking when her phone rang.

Yan Zhen took it out and saw that it was a call from Si's mother.

As soon as the call connected, Si's mother's anxious voice came through: "Xiaxia, your father has been admitted to the hospital!"

Yan Zhen and Wei Shucheng rushed to the hospital, where Si's father was lying in bed receiving an IV drip.

It had only been a little over two hours since I last saw him, but he looked pale and listless, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

When he saw Yan Zhen come in, his eyes reddened slightly.

Yan Zhen learned the whole story from Si Ma's account.

After leaving the company, Mr. Si started a second round of board meetings.

At the meeting, one shareholder vehemently opposed his suggestion to close the Mermaid Industrial Chain. He even pointed at Si's father and berated him for being senile and not thinking straight, saying that if he couldn't make the decision, he should be sensible and give up his position as chairman.

Mr. Si was both anxious and angry. Overwhelmed with rage, he collapsed in the conference room.

"The doctor said it's high blood pressure," Si's mother said, wiping away her tears. "He was diagnosed with cardiovascular disease during his physical exam last year, so he can't handle strenuous activity. He had a meeting all night last night, and today he got upset again... Xiaxia, what are we going to do?"

Yan Zhen understood.

The father's worries, exhaustion, and anger were secondary; the main reason he collapsed due to high blood pressure was that he confirmed this morning that his youngest daughter was not the original and would never come back.

He lost his son in his old age and was overwhelmed with grief.

"Mom, I'm here for you," Yan Zhen said. "You take good care of Dad, and I'll handle the rest."

"you?"

Knowing her youngest daughter lacked social experience and worried she might suffer, Mrs. Si was about to object when Mr. Si spoke up: "Are you sure you can handle this?"

Yan Zhen turned around, met his gaze, and instead of answering, asked, "Do you believe me?"

Si's father did not answer immediately.

“I came here specifically for this matter. If you trust me and entrust me with the entire process, I will give you a satisfactory answer.”

After a long silence, Si's father nodded and said, "Okay."

After taking command of all the bodyguards in the Si family from Si's father, Yan Zhen walked out of the ward and called to Nolan and Wei Shucheng who were waiting outside: "Let's go."

Nolan asked, "Where to?"

"Company, go and deal with those money-grubbing bastards!"

Upon hearing this, Nolan and Wei Shucheng exchanged a glance, and the two followed closely behind, setting off for the Si Group with high spirits.
