“Since your mother left her men to me when she left, you should keep them. My brother and I are not interested in taking over the Hess family. My father also said during his last moments that he didn’t want us to return to the Hess family.”
“He only said that because he couldn’t protect the two of you, but he would have never expected that you and your brother would both be smart and powerful children. They also wouldn’t have expected that the glory that the Hess family had for the past 300 years would be surpassed by a child like you.”
With that said, El took out another huge stack of documents and said, “Most of Jiamo’s property and businesses have been corrupted by Eddie and Jiali. If you want them back, the only way is to get it from them.
“As for me, your brother will be president soon and he may not be interested in business, which is why I will be leaving all of these to you.”
Du Yanzheng didn’t know what to say.
He couldn’t help but feel that his uncle didn’t like him very much.
They were both their mother’s biological son, but just because he looked like their father, their uncle has been mean to him since the beginning.
“Since you know that I own AO2, you should also know that I am not interested in what is left of the Hess family. If you give it to me, it will only help me in destroying it.”
However, when it came to Zhan Lichuan, their uncle El would be endlessly patient.
He showed a gentle smile as he said, “You are a brilliant boy. Your mother will definitely be proud of you. Now that I have given them to you, it shall be yours. It doesn’t matter if you want it or not. If you don’t want them, you can just destroy them. Even if you want to destroy the Hess family all together, I will support your decision.”
“You gave me everything you have. What about yourself?”
Zhan Lichuan had a bad feeling about this.
This was because he could see the same look in El’s eyes when his father died.
Both his eyes were empty, and there was no hope or future to be seen in them. It was as if he was going somewhere far away.
El smiled as he said, “I’ve been waiting for both of you to grow up safely. Seeing how powerful you two are, I knew that there would be a day where you would be going against the Hess family, which was why I couldn’t leave. Now that you have done so, and with your abilities now, you will definitely be able to defeat the rotten Hess family.
“When Jiamo left, my heart died as well. All these years, I have been living alone in this world and I am exhausted. Your father doesn’t know how to fight and I’m worried about her. I have to pay her a visit.”
The looks on Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng’s eyes changed drastically.
Du Yanzheng quickly said, “You’re so powerful. Haven’t you thought of helping me with my election?”
“That won’t be necessary. You have the Sanctuary in your hands, which even the Hess family would need help from. As for financial help, you have the AO2 supporting you. The Hess family will never be able to defeat the two of you. Your victory will arrive in only a matter of time. There’s nothing for me to worry about here. I have already investigated it thoroughly. Hawkins was the one who designed the accidents that almost killed the two of you and Jiali was aware of it. She supported all of his ideas as well. I believe that the two of you will know how to deal with them.
“Alright, I have already mentioned everything that’s important. The location of your parents’ grave is listed here as well. I only have one condition. I would like to be buried next to your mother, and I hope that you wouldn’t change that. However, if the two of you are unhappy about it, there’s nothing I will say against it.”
Seeing the loneliness in his eyes, Zhan Lichuan quickly said, “Don’t worry. We will not be shifting your grave.”
After getting the guarantee from Zhan Lichuan, El smiled.
He pulled out a gun from his drawer and filled up the bullets with Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng watching him.
He placed the gun against his head, and when he ended the call, all three of them heard a loud ‘bang’!
Jinqian, Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng weren’t those who were new to witnessing death, and it wasn’t as if they had never seen something so gruesome.
No matter how gruesome it was, all three of them would be able to handle it, but they had never said goodbye to a family in this manner.
All three of them remained quiet in the room. Then, Zhan Lichuan turned around and hugged Jinqian.
Jinqian returned the hug as well as she wrapped her arms around his waist.
“When our mother left, he must have wanted to do the same. The love that he had for her wouldn’t be any less compared to our father. Plus, he was also her brother, which meant that he would have felt even more for our mother.”
Jinqian nodded her head, “This may be the best ending for him. He completed your father’s last wishes and I think he did a great job.”
Zhan Lichuan nodded his head, “It’s a shame that he doesn’t have any kids. I didn’t even have the chance to repay what he had done for us.”
Jinqian gently patted his back as she comforted him, “The two of you are just like his children. As long as the two of you live a happy life, he would be delighted.”
Seeing how the couple were comforting each other, Du Yanzheng felt a little empty.

Hawkins had been proven guilty of his crime due to the sufficient evidence and he would be brought to court in 5 days.
Eddie and Jiali were in deep trouble themselves. After El killed himself, Eddie’s “son” Vincent stepped in as the head of the Hess family.
However, Vincent had already learnt that he was Bachard’s son and had returned to his family.
When Eddie was captured by Bachard, he worked with his son and took over what El and Zhan Lichuan had. He immediately wiped out everything that Eddie and Jiali had, which caught them by surprise.
When they finally realized what had happened, they had already lost most of the things that belonged to them.
They wanted to make a statement so that both their men could join forces, but there were also people from the Little family in the police force, along with those from AO2 and El’s men.
Therefore, Eddie and Jiali were stuck inside the police station and there was nothing that they could do.
Eddie even tried to escape from jail.
However, with Zhan Lichuan and Du Yanzheng involved, the power that the police force had was 500 times stronger.
Eddie’s men tried to bring him out forcefully, but Eddie almost died.
He injured his legs and ran back to prison, completely losing his courage to ever run away from it.
He had no idea what was happening to Jiali, but Eddie was completely confused.
In his memory, all of this had happened because of Hawkins. He wanted Di Jinqian to help out at the gene laboratory, and in order to do so, they got Feng Jing to kidnap Ling Siqi.
That was everything that had happened!
The only family that they would have offended was the Di family!
Who would have expected for them to work so closely with AO2?!
