Chapter 74: Losses Are Severe Ah Sister

  The owner of the plantation rushed out in an emergency and went to help with pest control.

  This time, in addition to the white-flowered insect that Cheng Zihan just discovered, there are also many sky beetles that specialize in biting tree roots.

  The last few hundred workers caught a few bags of bugs, and Cheng Zihang saw those bugs with a scalp-numbing feeling.

  Liang Han wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead with a wave of his hand.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him coldly and walked over, "Uncle Liang, I'm afraid you need to give me a reasonable explanation for this matter."

  Liang Han wiped away another cold sweat and looked at Cheng Zihuan, pretending to be calm as he asked, "Zihuan, I...I don't quite understand what you mean."

  "This area of the forest is your responsibility. Every day, all workers in the forest will inspect and maintain the seedlings. Once pests are found, they will be dealt with immediately."

  "I remember, the white ash on the tree trunk was just applied last week. You said that wrapping straw sacks around the trunk would better protect it. I knew you were a master craftsman, so I didn't question your words and instructed you to do it. But now, in less than a week, the saplings have been found with such severe pest damage. Don't you think you have an inescapable responsibility?" Cheng Zihan let out a cold snort, looking up at Liang Han with a chilly tone of interrogation.

  Liang Han wiped his cold sweat, but upon hearing Cheng Zihans words, he inexplicably let out a sigh of relief. "Zihan, I admit it was indeed my fault for not supervising properly and failing to discover others slacking off, nor did I do a good job in protecting the seedlings...I will reflect on this..."

  "That's enough! Do you really take me for a three-year-old? Do you think I'm easier to cheat and coax?" Hearing Liang Han still making excuses, Cheng Zihan coldly interrupted him, sternly shouting.

  Everyone present was stunned, and Liang Han was also stunned.

  Cheng Zihan rarely loses his temper and is usually gentle, but today he suddenly lost his temper so badly that everyone was frightened.

  "I." Liang Han swallowed a mouthful of saliva, not daring to speak. He always felt that Cheng Zihans eyes were terrifying, as if they could see through his innermost thoughts.

  "Mr. Liang, I respect you, that's why I called you uncle. I hope you'll be honest with yourself and not make me dig out your handle, or else the consequences might be severe." Cheng Zihan said, looking at Liang Han sideways, one word at a time.

  Liang Han felt as if his heart was being grasped by someone's hand, and even breathing seemed extremely difficult.

  He swallowed hard but didn't dare speak.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him and suddenly smiled coldly.

  "Do I need to tell you?"

  Liang Han took a step back, cold sweat breaking out again. He looked at Cheng Ziheng, still not daring to speak.

  Cheng Zihan smiled harmlessly, "Although I don't know how much benefit you received from the other party, but I want to tell you that I can give you a good life, let you live in heaven, and also make you fall from heaven to hell instantly."

  "Those insects were yours, weren't they? Just now I saw your shadow, although it was fleeting, but I recognized this piece of clothing. This is the fabric that was torn from your clothes when you were by the big tree just now. Originally, I wasn't sure, but your actions gave you away."

  At this time, an employee of the plantation rushed back from outside, still holding a sack in his hand, and came to the front of Cheng Zihang, put down the sack, opened it, and inside were wriggling white worms, each about the size of a thumb, making people's scalp feel numb.

  Cheng Zihan suppressed her nausea and looked at Liang Han, "This was found by Niu Wu in your home, do you have anything else to say?"

  Liang Han heard this and immediately knelt down, almost hugging Cheng Zihans legs. "Zihan, Zihan, I was wrong, I really was wrong. I shouldn't have been blinded by greed, I shouldn't have been bought off by Yan Qi, doing things that wronged you. But please forgive me, I really didn't mean to. I really didn't mean to, I was deceived by Yan Qi, he grasped my weakness and I had no choice but to listen to him."

  Cheng Zihan let out a cold snort and ignored Liang Han who was kneeling on the ground crying out.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan also heard the news and rushed over. They saw Liang Han kneeling on the ground and looked at Cheng Zihuan in confusion.

  Cheng Hai and Liang Han had a good relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have brought him to the plantation in the first place. Seeing Liang Han like this, he walked up to Cheng Zihuan's side and asked in a low voice, "Zihuan, what's going on?"

  "Dad, don't interfere with this matter." Cheng Zihan pulled Cheng Hai aside and said in a low voice.

  Cheng Hai opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but ultimately didn't say anything.

  "Uncle Liang, I'm sorry, I won't forgive you. You can betray me once, and then again, just leave. I don't want to see you anymore." Cheng Zihan turned her face away, no longer looking at Liang Han.

  Cheng Hai was shocked by what he heard and hastily grabbed hold of Cheng Zihan, "Zihan, what are you saying?"

  "Zi Han!" Liang Han also let out a loud and anguished cry.

  "Xu Yin, calculate his recent salary clearly. Liang Shu, I won't treat you unfairly, I'll give you three months' worth of back pay, you can leave." Cheng Zihan ignored Cheng Hai and said to Xu Yin, who was in charge of finance, before turning around and walking away.

  Liang Han knelt on the ground and cried out loudly.

  This is the first time a traitor has appeared in the plantation since its opening, and it's also the first time Cheng Zihan has fired someone.

  She herself was also uncomfortable, Liang Han had been watching her grow up and they had a good neighborly relationship.

  Liang Han had no hobbies, just liked to gamble a little money and drink some wine. This time he was caught by Yan Qi because of his gambling habits.

  The saplings in the forest area have been rescued in time and there is no major problem. As long as they are well taken care of later, they will recover quickly.

  "Liáng Hàn!" Cheng Zihán had just walked out not far when she suddenly heard a loud shout from Cheng Hai. She stopped in her tracks, turned around abruptly and saw the people behind her in disarray, as if something had happened.

  She rushed over and saw that Liang Han's forehead was covered in blood, and he had already fainted.

  Cheng Zihan crouched down, her fingers trembling as she reached under Liang Han's nose. Fortunately, he was still breathing, although very weakly.

  "Take him to the hospital at once!" Cheng Zihan said decisively in a loud voice.

  Cheng Hai has already taken the lead in hugging Liang Han and running outwards with big strides.

  It's clear that Cheng Hai is very dissatisfied with Cheng Zihan's approach this time.

  Cheng Zihan also felt a little helpless in her heart, but she absolutely couldn't let someone who had betrayed herself continue working at the plantation.

  He is a compulsive gambler and will definitely be caught by others because of his gambling habits, and will be blackmailed to deal with himself.

  Cheng Zihan sighed and didn't chase after him.

  Liang Han's injury is not too serious, he was probably afraid of death, when he crashed into the wall, he didn't use too much force, just a bit of concussion, and stayed in the hospital to rest.

  Xu Yin has already calculated the salary and is just waiting for Cheng Zihan to make a decision.

  She walked over when she saw Cheng Zihan frowning and sitting there in a daze.

  "Miss Cheng, this is Liang Han's salary for the past two months, and also includes the three months' worth of compensation you mentioned, totaling 3,000 yuan." Xu Yin handed over the envelope to Cheng Zihuan.

  Cheng Zihan nodded and didn't say a word.

  Cheng Hai also returned after a while. He walked to the front of Cheng Zihan, raised his hand and wanted to scold her, but when the words reached his mouth, he couldn't say them out loud.

  He had already learned from others that Cheng Zihan was going to fire Liang Han, although Liang Han was his good friend for many years, but this thing happened, and Cheng Zihan's approach was not wrong.

  But it's inevitable that it lost a bit of human touch, too cold-blooded and cruel.

  "Dad, I know what you want to say, but this isn't the time for being overly kind. Uncle Liang is a gambler, and if I let him stay, he'll definitely be blackmailed again because of his gambling habits and come after me once more. I won't let that happen. What's on my shoulders isn't just a plantation, it's all of your livelihoods." Cheng Zihan looked at Cheng Hai, her voice not loud but firm as she spoke to him.

  Cheng Hai nodded, "I know, but Liang Han and I have been brothers for many years after all, doing this..."

  "Dad, I'm in charge of the plantation business." Cheng Zihan knew that Cheng Hai would definitely try to persuade Liang Han, and Cheng Hai was always soft-hearted towards his own people. This was a weakness that Cheng Zihan couldn't allow him to have.

  Cheng Hai sighed and ultimately didn't say anything.

  Cheng Zihan handed the envelope with the salary to Cheng Hai, "This is his salary, you take it and give it to him. Also, the hospitalization expenses for this period will be borne by us."

  Cheng Hai took it over, nodded, and walked away with the money.

  Cheng Zihan sighed, she was also helpless about this matter.

  Now I'm afraid Yan Qi has not only bought off Liang Han, but also Lin Ou is fine if nothing happens to him, but if something happens to Hua Ping, that would be troublesome.

  June is about to end and July is approaching. There's only one month left before the delivery of this batch of flower seedlings.

  "Liu Zhenke!" Sitting in his seat, Cheng Zihan let out a loud shout.

  Liu Zhenke hurried over and stood at attention in front of Cheng Zihang, his expression making Cheng Zihang secretly amused, and the little worry that had just risen also disappeared.

  "Tell them to tighten up patrols, day and night, especially around the flowerbeds. If they see anything unusual, even if it's one of our own people, they must report back to me immediately." Cheng Zihan instructed Liu Zhenke.

  Liu Zhenke nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.

  Cheng Zihan was still a bit worried and walked around the flower bed again.

  Dong Jie, the person in charge of the flower garden, saw Cheng Zihans coming over and hurriedly went up to greet her.

  Liang Han's matter is now known to everyone, so she is also particularly careful.

  "Zihán."

  Cheng Zihan nodded slightly towards her and then directly entered the flower bed for inspection.

  The seedlings in the flower bed are fine.

  However, since the forest area incident, Cheng Zihan has been unwilling to believe his own eyes. If it wasn't for hearing Huang Huali's voice and discovering Duan Ni this time, he probably still wouldn't know about the good deeds that Liang Han had done.

  It may not be discovered until all the seedlings have withered and died.

  Cheng Zihan squatted down and carefully checked the condition of each flower seedling, even examining the flower pot seriously.

  However, after checking, it was indeed found that there was no problem.

  Hasn't Yan Qi bought off everyone on this side of the flower garden? Or does he think Liang Han is in charge of the entire plantation, so he only needs to buy off Liang Han?

  There were too many seedlings, and Cheng Zihuan couldn't possibly check each one individually. After a while, she got up and left.

  Dong Jie looked at Cheng Zihan's back and wiped a cold sweat, then began to take good care of the seedlings with all her heart.

  Coming out of Huayuan District, Cheng Zihan went to Linqu and looked at each tree one by one.

  Sometimes I reach out to touch the trunk of the tree and see if I can communicate with it.

  Unfortunately, the saplings here can only communicate with those few yellow flower pear trees.

  Thinking of Huang Hua Li, Cheng Zi Han also thought of the Huang Hua Li wood at home, it seems that it's time to find someone to sell it out.

  But now Yan Qi was like a thorn in Cheng Zihan's heart, always making her feel uncomfortable. As long as she didn't get rid of this scourge for one day, she felt that something was off with her whole body.

  After some thought, she went out again to the Wangcheng Hotel to look for Han Xuanyan.

  This time I didn't run into Yan Qi.

  Han Xuan Yan had just finished his bath and came out of the bathroom, still wrapped in a towel. His robust upper body made Cheng Zi Han's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

  Han Xuan Yan also felt a bit embarrassed, and while hastily putting on his pajamas, he invited Cheng Zi Han to sit down.

  Cheng Zihan didn't stand on ceremony either and found a seat for herself.

  "Zi Han, why have you come at this time?" Han Xuan Yan finally finished dressing and sat down beside Cheng Zi Han, his face slightly red as he asked in confusion.

  Cheng Zihan raised an eyebrow, glanced at Han Xuan with a hint of teasing, swept her eyes around the room, and smiled slyly before asking with a curious expression, "What's going on? Does Uncle Han have guests here? Am I interrupting something?"

  Han Xuan Yan's face turned red as he hastily denied it, "No, no, nothing like that. I just found it a bit surprising."

  Cheng Zihan smiled and said, "No, I'm free today, so I came over to sit with you for a bit."

  Cheng Zihan stopped teasing Han Xuanyan and went straight to the point.

  "Oh. Have some tea." Han Xuanyan nodded and poured a cup of tea for Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan didn't drink it either, the tea they had that day was really too hard to swallow.

  After some thought, I remembered that I seemed to have said that I would bring some tea leaves for Han Xuan Yan, but this time I came over and forgot again.

  It seemed that some tea leaves had also been found at home, which seemed to be the green tea left over from a long time ago. As for what variety it was, Cheng Zihang, who didn't study tea leaves, naturally didn't know.

  Cheng Zihan searched for a long time in the storage ring before finally finding that small can of tea leaves.

  "Uncle Han, I told you last time that I would bring some tea leaves for you, here it is." Cheng Zihan generously tossed the package of tea leaves to Han Xuan Yan.

  Han Xuan received it and took a look, his eyes almost bulging out.

  "Zi Han, you, where did this come from?" Han Xuan Yan opened the tea canister and asked with a hint of surprise.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at Han Xuanyan, "Oh, this was found in my home. What's wrong?"

  "This is a well-aged Pu'er tea, if I'm not mistaken, it should have been stored for over a hundred years. This thing is valuable." Han Xuan Yan looked at Cheng Zi Han's young age and kindly explained.

  Cheng Zihan responded with an "oh", but didn't seem too interested.

  She wasn't particularly fond of drinking tea, but the process was quite enjoyable. Drinking tea for health, idly chatting with a few good friends while sitting together, boiling a pot of water, brewing a pot of fragrant tea, savoring the tea while chatting, and the days passed by leisurely and comfortably.

  But that's also something that can be enjoyed when life at home has improved recently.

  This tea was originally intended for Cheng Zihan to give to the Cheng Hai, but thinking about it, this tea has been buried underground at home for so long, and I don't know if it's expired or not. If they drink it and something unexpected happens, that would be troublesome. So, in the end, Cheng Zihan decided against it.

  But Han Xuan's words, looking at him so strong and sturdy, drinking too much would only result in diarrhea, he shouldn't die from it. Cheng Zihan simply sent a personal gift, sending the tea leaves to Han Xuan instead.

  The tea is Pu'er, Cheng Zihan naturally knows, because she originally didn't like drinking tea, after drinking Pu'er tea once, she felt it was similar to drinking dishwater, and even less willing to drink. As for green tea, she would be willing to drink a little, but not Pu'er.

  So when she opened it and found that it was Pu'er tea, she directly threw it into the storage ring and didn't care about it anymore.

  Now that Han Xuan Yan mentions it, she didn't have much interest in finding out what's so special about this tea anyway. It was probably just some old, possibly expired tea leaves that had been left there for a long time.

  Han Xuan didn't plan to brew the tea leaves for drinking, as the value of this hundred-year-old Pu'er far exceeded its worth as a beverage. Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, this was a raw Pu'er that had been stored for many years, and its aroma was much more mellow than ordinary tea leaves. The scent alone made one feel refreshed and invigorated, and taking a sip would relax the muscles and tendons.

  Of course, this is just a joke.

  Han Xuan's treasure put away the tea leaves and instead asked Cheng Zihan to drink the low-quality tea provided by the hotel.

  Cheng Zihan simply drank water and then asked casually: "Why didn't Yan Qi come to your place today?"

  "Oh? You want to see him? He lives in the hotel, he just moved here a few days ago. When he's free, he'll come sit with me, I think he should be arriving soon." Han Xuan Yan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Cheng Zi Han, his expression understanding.

  Cheng Zihan snorted and said disdainfully: "Who cares if he comes or not?"

  "Zi Han, what's going on with you and Yan Qi?" Han Xuan Yan had noticed that Cheng Zi Han seemed to really dislike Yan Qi, which left him perplexed. In the capital city, Yan Qi could be considered a lady-killer, from 80-year-old grannies to 8-year-old little sisters, everyone who saw him fell in love with him. So why did Cheng Zi Han seem to really dislike him?

  "I have nothing to do with him." Cheng Zihan hastily shook her head, clearing up the relationship between her and Yan Qi.

  To say that Cheng Zihan and Yan Qi really have no relationship at all, if sworn enemies can be considered a kind of relationship, then this is probably the only one they have.

  Han Xuan Yan couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking for a moment before asking again, "By the way, have all the peony seedlings in your nursery been planted? The deadline is at the end of the month. If we can't deliver on time this time, it won't be just a matter of losing money. This time, Qin Hongtao was only able to avoid disaster because the old master of the Qin family secretly helped him out. But having to pay compensation of one hundred times the deposit has already cost him half his life."

  "Don't worry, I'll definitely deliver it to you by the end of the month." Cheng Zihan said with a confident face.

  As long as there are no problems, it can be delivered on time.

  Now I'm afraid Yan Qi will secretly resort to trickery.

  "Well, that's good." Han Xuanyan was also worried that Cheng Zihuan would get into trouble, and when he heard her confident words, he naturally felt relieved.

  At this time, the doorbell rang. Han Xuan Yan glanced at Cheng Zi Han and smiled, "Your brother Yan Qi is here."

  "Ugh! Don't disgust me, I have nothing to do with him, and he's almost thirty, clearly an old uncle!" Cheng Zihan made a vomiting gesture, scolding with a face full of disgust.

  Han Xuan Yan smiled and went to open the door.

  At the door was indeed the idle Yan Qi, who glanced at Han Xuan and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Han."

  Han Xuan Yan welcomed him in, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Cheng Zi Han sitting on the sofa grinning at him, Yan Qi couldn't help but burst out laughing with a great mood and walked towards Cheng Zi Han.

  Cheng Zihan was so angry she wished she could pounce on Yan Qi like a small dog and bite him.

  Yan Qi sat down next to Cheng Xiaogou, reached out and hooked his arm around Cheng Zihan's shoulder, leaned in close to Cheng Zihan's ear, and blew hot air with a flirtatious tone, "Little girl, why are you so free today? Are you thinking of your brother me?"

  Yan Qi's this careless and nonchalant appearance is really completely different from when they first met.

  Cheng Zihan slapped a palm past, just hitting Yan Qi's face, making a crisp "slap".

  "Shameless, you old man! Don't interfere with my life, I'm still young. Even if I grow up, it's impossible for me to like an old man like you, so give up, you don't have a chance." Cheng Zihan shifted her body and kept a safe distance from Yan Qi.

  This man suddenly didn't know if he had eaten too much or what, but inexplicably said such ambiguous words to himself.

  Cheng Zihan suspected that Yan Qi was possessed by a ghost, and it must be a very annoying ghost!

  "Haha." Yan Qi seemed to be in a good mood today, and after hearing Cheng Zihan's words, he didn't get angry, but instead burst out laughing.

  Han Xuan looked at Yan Qi and also felt that something was strange about him today.

  But Yan Qi's personality is split and often changes sex, he has long been used to it, so it's nothing out of the ordinary.

  It is said that Yan Qi has four personalities, and when he's bored, he switches between them. Sometimes you'll see him with a poker face, and no matter how many words you say to him, he won't respond with a single sentence. Sometimes you'll see his demonic and charming appearance, with a seductive smile at the corner of his mouth, and a hint of evil light in his eyebrows that makes women scream with excitement. Sometimes you'll see him with a lazy and sloppy look, as if his mouth is blooming like a flower, speaking to you with exaggerated words that can even lure birds from trees... As for the fourth personality, no one has seen it yet, and it's unknown whether it really exists.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Yan Qi with a ghostly gaze, today when she saw Yan Qi, she felt that her whole body was not right, just like her body was crawling with caterpillars, nothing felt right.

  She quickly stood up and said loudly to Han Xuan Yan, "Uncle Han, I'll leave first."

  Without looking back at Han Xuan's stunned expression, she turned around and ran away quickly.

  Yan Qi stroked his chin, seemingly smiling as he gazed at the back of Cheng Zihan, but a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

  When Han Xuan Yan turned around, Yan Qi had already recovered his usual lazy demeanor, lounging on the sofa with an eyebrow raised, looking at Han Xuan Yan.

  Han Xuan Yan sighed and sat down beside Yan Qi, "Why did you go looking for trouble with her?"

  "I like it." Yan Qi lazily looked at Han Xuan Yan and smiled.

  Han Xuan Yan sighed again, "Her relationship with Han Yi is not simple, and I always feel that she looks very much like someone."

  "Really? I think she looks like your perverted uncle, Han Jingchen, when she's being abnormal." Yan Qi curled up the corner of his mouth and gave Han Xuan a seemingly smiling glance.

  Han Xuan Yan heard this and furrowed his brow, thinking for a moment, it seemed, really had a bit of resemblance.

  Suddenly, he stared with wide eyes and looked at Yan Qi incredulously, "Then you say, could she be the one from that year, that year's..."

  Han Xuan Yan seemed to be startled by his own thoughts and didn't dare say out loud the guesses that followed.

  Yan Qi spread out his hands, "I don't know anything."

  Han Xuan Yan seemed to be deep in thought, and didn't care about Yan Qi anymore. If she was really the daughter left behind by that person, then wouldn't she be his cousin? The only child of his demonic younger uncle...

  Cheng Zihan came out of Wangcheng Hotel and identified the direction before heading towards the hospital.

  Although she had steeled herself to let Liang Han leave the plantation, Cheng Zihuan was not really heartless, how could she completely disregard Liang Han's life and death?

  So she still decided to go see him.

  The hospital was very quiet, all the patients' families deliberately lowered their voices, and even walked with light footsteps.

  Cheng Zihan quickly found Liang Han's ward, but didn't rush in.

  Liang Han has woken up and his body is fine. His wife Lin Yulian also came to the hospital to take care of him.

  At this time, the two were talking in the ward.

  "What's wrong with you? Why can't you just be content with being a manager at the plantation? Why did you have to provoke Yan Qi? Now look, you've even lost your job. What are we going to do from now on? And our son's illness can't be delayed any longer, the doctor says he needs surgery as soon as possible or else he might end up paralyzed. How are we supposed to live like this?" Lin Yulian said, sobbing and sniffling, with her choked sobs occasionally ringing out.

  "Don't say anything, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have been greedy and loved to gamble. That day, I only planned to play a small game, won a few rounds and got a bit proud, they said let's change places and continue playing, I originally wanted to refuse, but they all said I just won so much money, can't just walk away like that, at least give them a chance to turn the tables. As a result, I followed them, didn't expect to lose, lost several thousand yuan, where did I have that much money? The money was used for my son's medical treatment, so I had to borrow from loan sharks, thinking of turning the tables back. In just a few days, three thousand became tens of thousands, becoming thirty thousand. Even if I die, I won't be able to pay it back. They were just trying to scare Xiaohan, didn't think they would really hurt her. I thought at most it would be a loss of a few saplings, when the time comes, I will bring people to solve the problem, didn't expect to still be discovered by Xiaohan." Liang Handui regretted his past actions, talking about what happened back then, he still hung his head in shame.

  Cheng Zihan listened at the door and felt uncomfortable in her heart. This time, Liang Han was obviously set up by someone. It's estimated that he will also calm down and stop gambling in the future.

  But Cheng Zihan never quite believed that a gambler could quit so easily, or else there wouldn't be so many people losing everything.

  Let's observe for a while and see how it goes later. Even if he really finds him back, it's impossible to give him important work, having been betrayed once, Cheng Zihuan already has his guard up.

  "Zi Han? You're here, why don't you come in?" Just as Cheng Zi Han was thinking to himself, Cheng Hai's voice rang out from behind him.

  Cheng Hai brought over some food and it seemed like he had come specifically to see Liang Han.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Cheng Hai and smiled, then went over to pull his arm, "Dad, I thought you were mad at me and wouldn't talk to me."

  Cheng Hai sighed, "Of course I'm angry, but I also understand your intention. Liang Han is indeed not making an effort. I don't have anything good to say either. However, if he really quits gambling in the future, can you let him come back to work? His family situation isn't simple either, as you know. The children in his household have been weak and sickly since they were young, always staying in the hospital, which is very costly. Every day they spend dozens of yuan on medical expenses. If they don't continue with treatment, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for a few more years."

  Cheng Zihan naturally knew that Liang Han's son, Liang Quan, was born with congenital leukemia and had to go to the hospital for chemotherapy every day. It has been many years now. These years have not been easy for Liang Han either. He doesn't like anything except playing a little poker and drinking some wine. I guess it's also because he feels depressed and wants to vent his emotions.

  Cheng Zihan sighed, nodded, "Alright, I promise you. If he can really quit gambling, when your farm is developed, let him go there to help."

  Cheng Hai nodded excitedly and pulled Cheng Zihan together to push open the door and enter.

  Liang Han and Lin Yulian were both heartbroken, crying until their eyes were red and swollen. Lin Yulian couldn't stop wiping away tears, while Liang Han cried quietly.

  Cheng Zihan saw them like this and felt uncomfortable in her heart. She sighed and called out, "Uncle Liang, Auntian."

  Lin Yulian heard Cheng Zihan's voice, hastily wiped away her tears, and directly knelt down to Cheng Zihan, "Zihan, Zihan, please forgive my family's Ah Han, he was just momentarily confused, please forgive him."

  Cheng Zihan's heart softened, and he hurriedly went to help Lin Yulian up. "Aunt Lian, don't be like this, how can I bear it if you're like this?"

  "I know it's our fault, but he was also forced to do so, just forgive him this once, just this once, okay?" Lin Yulian refused to get up and remained kneeling in front of Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Hai hurried over to help and together they helped her up, "Alright, don't be like this, Zihan has already made plans. As long as Liang Han is really willing to quit gambling and become a good person in the future, Zihan will still arrange work for him."

  Lin Yulian was overjoyed and looked up at Cheng Zihuan, Cheng Zihuan reluctantly nodded slightly, and she was willing to stand up.

  Cheng Zihan sighed, looked at Liang Han and said, "Uncle Liang, don't blame me for being ruthless, I have no choice. This time it's lucky that you only destroyed the saplings on the Linqu side, if it were the flower seedlings in the flower nursery area, even with a good excuse, I would not forgive you, and may even pursue your legal responsibility."

  Liang Han nodded repeatedly and was also very grateful to Cheng Zihuan.

  Cheng Zihan sat in the hospital for a while and chatted with Liang Han for a few more sentences before leaving the hospital with Cheng Hai.

  After coming out, Cheng Zihan finally let out a long sigh of relief.

  "Dad, be careful for a while, I think Yan Qi won't give up easily and will definitely take action again." Cheng Zihan said, turning her head to glance at Cheng Hai.

  Cheng Hai nodded, "I know, I'll be extra careful, you too."

  As soon as the two of them arrived at the hospital entrance, they saw a group of police officers rushing in with ferocious expressions, not even looking at them, and one of the police officers even bumped into Cheng Zihan.

  Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow and glanced at them, but in her heart she was puzzled - what were these police doing coming to the hospital for no reason?

  Looking at Cheng Hai, I saw the same doubt in his eyes.

  The two of them didn't care about other trivial matters anymore, and walked out of the hospital entrance. They saw three or four police cars parked at the entrance, and here, Cheng Zihan also saw a familiar figure, Yan Han.

  Yan Han's face didn't look good, it was unclear whether it was because he saw Cheng Zihans anger in his heart or because the chrysanthemum was not blooming and felt uncomfortable.

  "Oh? So it's Young Master Yan, how come you have so much free time to come to the hospital today? Are you here for surgery?" Cheng Zihan said with a cold and sarcastic tone, while his eyes naturally fell on Yan Han's butt.

  Yan Han's mouth twitched violently, and he glared at Cheng Zihang before saying coldly, "Hmph, thanks for your concern, but you should worry about yourself instead! I'm here to catch someone!"

  Cheng Zihan's eyebrows jumped, and he turned his head to look back. He saw the police who had just gone in dragging Liang Han out. Behind Liang Han, Lin Yulian was crying loudly and desperately pulling on the police officers.

  "What do you want to do?" Cheng Zihan turned back and glared at Yan Han fiercely, asking.

  "There's nothing, he just broke the law, I just informed the police to catch him, didn't do anything else." Yan Han said with a straight face and a confident tone, but when facing Cheng Zihans' murderous gaze, he still felt some fear.

  Cheng Zihan walked towards Yan Han, one step, two steps, three steps. Yan Han was scared by the terrifying aura emitted from Cheng Zihan's body and kept retreating until he backed into the police car, with nowhere to retreat further.

  "Cheng Zihan! You'd better not offend me, otherwise, it's hard to say whether your people can walk out of the police station alive!" Yan Han suddenly raised his head and shouted loudly at Cheng Zihan.

  "What are you going to do? What are you doing? Why did you catch me?" Liang Han was still staring, when he saw Cheng Zihan with Yan Han, he suddenly shouted, "Cheng Zihan, you, it's really you! You comforted me and said you wouldn't call the police, but secretly called the police to catch me, how heartless are you!"

  Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow upon hearing this and glared at Liang Han, but didn't explain.

  Lin Yulian stopped crying and yelling after hearing Liang Han's words, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, looking at Cheng Zihuan with a puzzled expression, with an unmistakable hint of blame in her eyes.

  Cheng Zihan turned back with a cold smile and glanced at Yan Han, "Is this your purpose?"

  "Of course not, soon you, this once very loyal subordinate, will tell the police uncle that your plantation is planting some things that are clearly prohibited by the state. Then, the police will find those things in the plantation, and I wonder what they will do then?" Yan Han looked at Cheng Zihans pale face, straightened his back, gritted his teeth and said to him.

  Cheng Zihan lifted her foot and kicked Yan Han's crotch with a loud thud.

  "Ah!" Yan Han cried out in pain, covering his lower body as tears streamed down his face.

  Cheng Zihan took advantage of his squatting down, walked to his front, stretched out her hand to lift up his chin, let him stare at herself, gritted her teeth and said, "It seems that the lesson I gave you is not profound enough. You don't want anything except for chrysanthemum, and probably even ** doesn't want it either. Since that's the case, I'll fulfill your wish!"

  Cheng Zihan finished speaking, lifted her foot again, and kicked Yan Han to the ground with a ruthless kick, half of his body directly falling under the car.

  Cheng Zihan didn't stop, taking another step forward, and with one foot, she fiercely trampled on Yan Han's crotch several times.

  Yan Han had already fainted from the pain.

  The several police officers around him, seeing Cheng Zihang's violent behavior, subconsciously covered their crotches with their hands and opened their mouths, not daring to move forward to stop him.

  "Listen up, all of you! If he goes in and comes out with even one less hair on his head, the consequences will be yours to bear!" Cheng Zihan said as she stamped her foot a few times.

  Everyone present had a faintly painful feeling in their hearts and nodded repeatedly.

  Liang Han secretly wiped a cold sweat and suddenly felt that Cheng Zihang was really too terrifying.

  Lin Yulian was scared silly and didn't dare speak anymore.

  Cheng Hai's mouth also twitched violently, where did Cheng Zihan learn such violent behavior? Must have watched too much TV drama, need to educate him properly from now on.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at Liang Han and left with Cheng Hai without explanation.

  This time, Yan Han's idea was really vicious! She deliberately let Liang Han misunderstand that she reported the police to catch him, and then tortured him with severe punishment, forcing Liang Han to confess those unfounded crimes, and then framed him.

  This is really a chain of tricks!

  Cheng Zihan smiled coldly. Although Yan Han's plan was well thought out, but once he encountered her, he was doomed to fail!

  Puffed back to the plantation, Cheng Zihan still felt a bellyful of anger.

  Cheng Hai looked at her and thought of her previous actions, still having a creepy feeling in his heart.

  "Zi Han, what are you going to do?" Cheng Hai asked softly, looking at Cheng Zi Han puffing out her cheeks.

  Cheng Zihan raised her head and looked at Cheng Hai with a dull expression, saying: "I don't know."

  Cheng Hai's mouth twitched slightly.

  "No! What Yan Han just said is wrong!" Cheng Zihan suddenly jumped up, startling Cheng Hai.

  Cheng Hai looked at her with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

  "Did you hear Yan Han's words clearly just now?" Cheng Zihan asked with a frown.

  "En." Cheng Hai nodded.

  "He said that as long as Liang Shu confessed that we had planted things in our plantation that were explicitly prohibited by the state, and when the time came, the police would definitely find those things here. So, there must be a traitor among us!" Cheng Ziheng furrowed his brow in analysis.

  Cheng Hai suddenly realized upon hearing this. "Right! Besides Liang Han, there's also a traitor within!"

  Moreover, Cheng Zihan vaguely felt that there might be more than one internal ghost besides Liang Han.

  She suddenly felt a headache.

  It seems that in the future, the main work in the plantation will still have to be arranged for our own people, and only those who are trustworthy can do it!

  Now, as for the relatives on Cheng Hai's side, they are all extremely problematic and can't be relied upon. That leaves only the relatives on Li Lan's side, but those people, Cheng Zihan doesn't quite trust either.

  After all, when Cheng Hai and Li Lan's family were in their most difficult time, they did not lend a helping hand, but instead stood by coldly.

  People like this, Cheng Zihan really can't be trusted.

  This is going to be a problem. As the company develops gradually in the future, it will definitely need more people, but if they can't rely on one another, it will inevitably limit their development.

  Taking a deep breath, Cheng Zihan felt his head was a bit big.

  Cheng Hai looked at Cheng Zihan, rubbed her head and suddenly asked, "What about Qin Kexiu? Why haven't we seen him lately?"

  "He recently went to Beijing and will probably be back in a few days." Cheng Zihan explained a few sentences, still thinking about the insider.

  These internal ghosts will not be caught, she always feels uneasy.

  "Dad, please come over to the plantation recently and help out. At the same time, take a look at what problems they have. If you find anyone with abnormalities, tell me immediately and let me handle it." What Cheng Zihan fears most is that Cheng Hai's heart is too soft. Most of the employees here are villagers who have lived together for over a decade or two, and many have emotional connections. It is precisely because of this relationship that Cheng Zihan worries that if Cheng Hai discovers his friends and companions doing something that harms the company's interests, he will not be able to bear to deal with it.

  "Good." Cheng Hai nodded.

  The farm over there has just started to develop, and there are also a group of experienced people watching over it. It's no problem for Cheng Hai to come over and help out.

  After making arrangements, Cheng Zihan went to the greenhouse again.

  The peony seedlings in the greenhouse are the most crucial thing, other seedlings are not worth much, so even if they were really destroyed, she wouldn't be too heartbroken, but this batch of peony seedlings is very valuable!

  Because usually the greenhouse is off-limits to others and there's only one key, which is in Cheng Zihans hands.

  As soon as Cheng Zihan entered the greenhouse, she immediately discovered something was off.

  Someone has been here!

  There are footprints on the ground.

  Cheng Zihan crouched down and took a closer look. The footprints were small in size, probably belonging to a woman, and the feet weren't big either.

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath and hastily looked around the greenhouse again, but couldn't find anything wrong with these seedlings.

  Who is she? What does she want to do?

  Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow and squatted down, looking at the seedlings in front of her.

  "Gege Xiaohuan!" A crisp voice rang out, followed by a chubby little bun suddenly popping out and hugging Xiaohuan's neck.

  Cheng Zihan almost fell directly to the ground under his weight, crushing the seedlings in front of her. Fortunately, she steadied herself just in time and a tragedy was narrowly avoided.

  "Tian Can!" Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth and roared at Tian Can.

  The swallow spat out its tongue, got down from Cheng Zihans body, looked at the flower seedlings on the ground, exclaimed, and then squatted down. Before long, it picked up a bug about the size of a hair strand.

  Cheng Zihan's face changed as soon as she saw it.

  No wonder she just felt that there was something wrong with these seedlings, it turned out to be like this!

  These tiny insects are as thin as hair, Cheng Zihan remembers seeing them in a book. They love to eat tender shoots and leaves, and their destructive power is astonishing. One insect can destroy more than ten seedlings in one day.

  And this bug is highly resistant to drugs! It has a certain degree of resistance to drugs, and even insecticides can't kill it!

  If it wasn't for Tian Can discovering it, she probably still wouldn't know.

  "Zi Han sister, why are there bugs here?" Tian Can directly threw the bug into his mouth and swallowed it in one bite, with an expression that seemed to say he wasn't satisfied yet.

  "Some people want to harm me." Cheng Zihan said gritting her teeth.

  The giant silkworm opened its huge mouth, and countless small insects flew into its mouth. Soon, all the insects inside the greenhouse entered the silkworm's mouth.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently, and this silkworm, why does it eat all kinds of rubbish?

  "Don't worry, Sister Zihan. I'll come to help you in the future. Whoever wants to harm you, I won't let them off!" Tian Can swung his chubby little fist, making a solemn promise to Cheng Zihan.

  However, he had just eaten too many insects and let out a satisfied belch, releasing a strange smell. Cheng Zihan wrinkled his brow, pinched his nose, and looked at Tian Can with disdain.

  Tian Can smiled and rubbed his round belly, "Sorry, Zi Han sister, I ate too much, I'm so sleepy."

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched again, is this guy a pig? Eat his fill and then sleep?

  Tian Can finished speaking and directly found a comfortable position inside the greenhouse, then lay down and slept comfortably.

  Cheng Zihan also didn't bother with him anymore and went out of the greenhouse to take a look at the seedlings in the flower bed.

  The workers are now potting the flower seedlings. The first batch of pots has arrived and everyone is busy potting.

  Cheng Zihan was worried that the seedlings here would also be tampered with, so she checked them especially carefully.

  Fortunately, all the flower seedlings here are fine, and I estimate that the other party just wants to get their hands on that batch of peony seedlings.

  Cheng Zihan finally let out a sigh of relief.

  Tian Can didn't sleep for long this time, only ten minutes, and he came out of the greenhouse.

  That white and chubby appearance is so cute that it makes people want to pinch his round little face.

  The people in the garden saw him and went over with joy, one by one, waving their hands directly at his face.

  Tian Can's face changed, baring his teeth at everyone, but fearing he would scare them, he didn't dare transform into his true form and could only endure their bullying. That pitiful, tearful appearance was even more adorable to look at.

  Cheng Zihan returned from the flower bed and saw a group of people surrounding Tian Can, who was being trampled on. The little bun stood in the middle, looking pitifully at itself with tears in its eyes.

  Cheng Zihan hurried over and asked, "What are you doing?"

  A group of people heard Cheng Zihan's voice and dispersed, each busy with their own affairs.

  "Are you asleep?" Cheng Zihan looked at Tian Can and asked.

  Tian Can nodded and took hold of Cheng Zihan's hand, "Sister Zihan, humans are too scary."

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently as she lowered her head and gave Tian Can a cold glance, "I'm also one of those terrifying humans in your eyes."

  "No, Zi Han sister, you're not human." Tian Can was so eager to flatter that the words had just left his mouth when he regretted it, but after rolling his eyes a few times, he couldn't think of a way to turn back and was anxious.

  Cheng Zihan was too lazy to bother with him, so she took him for a walk around the plantation, letting him see if there were any more insects around.

  Fortunately, no bugs were found after all, and Cheng Zihan was relieved.

  But thinking about it again, she felt that something was off. How could Yan Qi be so kind-hearted? If nothing fishy came out of it, Cheng Zihan would definitely feel that something was wrong.

  Since the seedlings here are fine, and the ones in the greenhouse are also temporarily safe for now, then there's only one possibility left.

  At this thought, Cheng Zihan's face changed and he hastily pulled Tiansan towards a small hill not far away.

  When the two of them arrived at the top of the mountain, Cheng Zihan's eyes widened in shock. Damn it! It was indeed like this!

  More than 60 peony seedlings on the top of the mountain, which were originally in bloom, are about to open soon. The flower buds are very beautiful and it can be foreseen that if they bloom, they will definitely be extremely beautiful.

  But now, looking back, these flower seedlings have been artificially destroyed, leaving only a few bare flower stalks standing there, looking very pitiful. The leaves and flowers have fallen to the ground.

  Cheng Zihan's gritted teeth!

  Although the greenhouse can promote plant growth, once it reaches a certain level, it will stop and must be transplanted outdoors to resume growth and continue growing.

  But from transplanting to blooming, at least two months are needed. Just like this batch of peony seedlings, which have been transplanted here for over a month and have just entered the flowering period, it is estimated that they will bloom in another half a month.

  The result is now ruined by someone! Wanting to plant another batch, at least three more months are needed, and time is already running out!

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were filled with ferocity and murderous intent!

  Swallow's tail!

  Tian Can looked at the flower seedlings on the ground, suddenly squatted down, picked up something from the leaves of the flowers, and held it up. "Zi Han sister, what is this?"

  Cheng Zihan took a look and found that it was a piece of red hair tie from the woman's hair, apparently left behind by the person who came to cause trouble.

  She's indeed a woman!

  But who is it?

  This person seems to be a veteran figure in the plantation, otherwise he wouldn't know that this batch of peony seedlings would be planted here.

  Another veteran, first it was Liang Han, now another one has come, who is it after all?

  Woman, veteran.

  The answer seems just around the corner.

  The chickens and ducks in the mountain walked to the side of Cheng Zihans feet, clucking loudly.

  Cheng Zihan felt annoyed in her heart. This batch of seedlings was destroyed, and now it seems that a new batch needs to be replanted immediately to see if they can meet the deadline at the end of next month.

  No time to waste.

  Cheng Zihan hastily led the Tian Can down from the mountain, just in time to see Dong Jie hurrying over, her face flushed with anxiety. When she saw Cheng Zihan, she immediately rushed over.

  "Zi Han, you're back, something's happened, something's happened." Dong Jie was probably out of breath from running too fast, and hastily said to Cheng Zi Han.

  Cheng Zihan's heart sank, and he hastily asked, "What happened?"

  "I don't know where they suddenly came from, but a large number of locusts are now crazily eating the leaves of our flower seedlings. We can't even chase them away." Dong Jie said hastily.

  "What?" This is really bad news!

  Locusts are originally the natural enemy of crops. At any time, as long as locust disasters occur, crops will suffer heavy losses, and even no harvest at all.

  This time's locust plague, don't know whether it is man-made or natural disaster.

  However, Wangcheng has never experienced such a large-scale locust plague before, and it is feared that this time it was man-made.

  Cheng Zihan followed behind Dong Jie, hastily rushing to the flower bed, and indeed saw large swarms of black locusts flying over from the southeast direction. As soon as they entered the nursery, they stopped on the leaves of the seedlings and ate the tender leaves with big mouths.

  Cheng Zihan's nostrils sprayed air straight out, and he wished he could be like the heavenly silkworm, opening his mouth to swallow all the locusts in front of him.

  Locusts are much more troublesome than any other pests, and there are so many of them. It's really a headache to deal with them.

  As soon as the silkworm saw so many locusts, his eyes lit up, but because there were too many people around, he didn't dare do anything. He just quietly stood in the middle of the flower seedlings, and countless white silk threads slowly extended from under his feet, instantly enveloping the entire sea of flowers.

  When those locusts flew over, they were quickly wrapped around the mulberry seedlings by the silkworm silk, and after struggling for a while, they stopped moving.

  Cheng Zihan looked at the sky silkworm, her mouth twitched, this worm really had a natural liking for worms, and actually liked to eat worms so much.

  Fortunately, there is Tian Can, otherwise this disaster would really be unbearable.

  However, Cheng Zihan soon discovered that the locusts had only been eliminated by half, and the silkworms couldn't eat anymore. It was estimated that they were dizzy from eating too much, and they stumbled back, hugging Cheng Zihan, and actually fell asleep.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched again as he stared at the swarm of insects flying towards him, their heads were huge.

  She let out a sigh, and immediately ordered everyone present, "Act quickly, move all these seedlings indoors! The greenhouse can't be entered, but the office and your dormitories are okay, rescue as many as you can! Act now!"

  Cheng Zihan finished speaking, and everyone immediately took action. Even those who had been in the office rushed out to help move the seedlings.

  But those potted ones are easy to handle, while those planted in the ground are a bit more troublesome. You can't just pull them out and take them away, can you?

  Cheng Zihan painfully watched as the leaves of those flower seedlings were crazily bitten by locusts, leaving only bare sticks.

  Xian Qi! I'm not done with you yet!

  Cheng Zihan let out a furious roar in her heart! She turned around and was about to run out, but found that Tian Can was still hugging her leg. She had no choice but to drag Tian Can along, finding a spot to put him down.

  However, Cheng Zihan discovered that wherever the Tiancan was, all the locusts did not dare to approach. In the end, Cheng Zihan simply had someone drag the Tiancan to the middle of the flower seedlings and threw it there directly.

  Locusts are still flying in from all directions, hundreds of employees from the plantation and even construction workers from a nearby site have rushed over to help kill them.

  After the rescue, only less than 200,000 seedlings were saved, and hundreds of millions of other seedlings were mostly bitten by locusts.

  Cheng Zihan swayed and almost fell down.

  Taking a deep breath, Cheng Zihan calmed himself down. These seedlings had only been damaged by the locusts and were not dead yet. As long as they were properly cared for later on, new leaves would definitely grow out again. However, this was already considered a heavy loss for Cheng Zihan.

  If these seedlings can't grow well within the specified time and can't be delivered on time, it's probably a matter of losing one's head.

  Looking at the chaotic scene in front of her, Cheng Zihan rubbed her temples.

  Cheng Hai also stood beside Cheng Zihan, looking at the flowerbed that had been destroyed so thoroughly, his heart ached to the point of bleeding.

  All of these are money!

  Taking a deep breath, Cheng Zihan turned around and walked out.

  Cheng Hai saw this and hurriedly followed up, "Zihan, where are you going?"

  "I'm going to find Yan Qi." Cheng Zihan said gritting her teeth.

  Cheng Hai hurriedly followed up.

  The two of them left the flower bed and walked along the small path in front of the forest area, finally arriving at the entrance of the plantation. But before they could go look for Yan Qi, Yan Qi himself took the initiative to come over.

  At this time, he restored his appearance when they first met, with a cold face, slightly raised corners of his mouth, and a hint of indifference and a little complacency in his eyes.

  Cheng Zihan saw him and was so angry she could have pounced on him and bitten him to death.

  But thinking about it, I endured it anyway.

  Forcing a smile, Cheng Zihan walked over and said, "Hey, what's with the wind today? How did it even blow Young Master Yan over here?"

  Yan Qi smiled faintly and glanced at Cheng Zihan, saying coldly, "I just saw a lot of locusts flying in your direction at the hotel, so I came to take a look. How is it, Miss Cheng? Hasn't there been any loss here?"

  Cheng Zihan was so angry that he couldn't take it anymore, and with a loud crash, the thickest and largest trunk of the yellow pear tree in Linqu burst forth, directly blasting his chrysanthemum to pieces!

  She took a deep breath and gave Yan Qi a faint smile. "I'm really sorry to disappoint you, but I didn't actually suffer any losses here."

  Cheng Zihan had just finished speaking when Dong Jie hurriedly ran over, saw Yan Qi, and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

  Cheng Zihan glanced at her, just about to ask something, when she heard Yan Qi say, "Oh? Really nothing? I'm a bit worried that the batch of seedlings can't be delivered on time. Can I go in and take a look?"

  Cheng Zihan was just about to say no when Yan Qi had already led someone to push her away and walked in.

  Cheng Zihan gritted her teeth and hastily followed him.

  Yan Qi walked very quickly, and Cheng Zihan had to jog to catch up with him.

  When the two of them arrived at the flower bed, Yan Qi was stunned, and Cheng Zihan was also stunned.

  What's going on here?

  Is it her way of opening her eyes?

  Cheng Zihan rubbed her eyes again and again, but everything in front of her remained unchanged.

  Heavens, this world is really freaking mysterious, let me take a moment to faint.
