Chapter 665: Corning Concedes!
Yan Aohan took a sip of water to soothe his dry throat and let out a long sigh. "Zhang's youngest son is thirteen years younger than Haifeng. He is only twelve now. Since having a son, that woman feels her position is secure. She can’t stand the existence of the Hai brothers. She tries every way to harm them. But now, Haitao is in the army. He is already a colonel. Haifeng follows me and never returns to the Zhang family. So her schemes fail. Most importantly, for the whole Zhang family, two successful adult descendants are much safer than one twelve-year-old child. Therefore, except for Haifeng’s father, everyone in the Zhang family supports the brothers." Yan Aohan briefly explained the Zhang family situation to Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly. "The brothers rely on each other. No wonder Little Zhang was so excited to see Zhang Haitao."
Yan Aohan nodded with a smile. "It is necessary. Actually, Haifeng was unwilling to let you stimulate Haitao’s vocal cords for temporary speech. He didn’t want to make that choice unless absolutely necessary. But he understands Zhang Haitao’s character. Just as Haitao understands Haifeng’s. Zhang Haitao disappeared for three years. His appearance here means he obtained something very important. Since Haitao cannot do it now, his younger brother will find ways to fulfill his wish. After all, their bond is truly strong." Yan Aohan spoke with some emotion.
Zhu Yanyi finished her task carefully, then turned around and sat opposite Yan Aohan. "You came here to persuade me to perform this temporary voice surgery on Zhang Haitao, right?"
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi. His expression was very serious, with a hint of color she couldn’t understand. "I am very selfish. Usually, unless it affects the entire situation of Huaxia, I would not intervene. But now Zhang Haitao is here. If we don’t clarify the situation, it might bring danger to you and your family. I know if such a hidden danger exists, you would not want to leave here. I don’t want to worry about that. I don’t want you to worry either. Regardless, for public and private reasons, I must find out why Zhang Haitao is here. So you must perform this surgery." Yan Aohan was openly telling Zhu Yanyi that in his heart, she was the most important. For her, he could act with selfish motives, just like in the current Zhang Haitao incident.
Zhu Yanyi was slightly stunned. She looked at her, not expecting her true purpose for asking her to operate on Zhang Haitao was for her and her family. "Why bother? Actually, I am not afraid."
"I know. But I don’t want any instability. So we must do what needs to be done." Yan Aohan looked seriously at Zhu Yanyi. "Ani, no matter what, please perform this surgery, okay?" There was a faint plea in his tone. Zhu Yanyi wondered if she misheard.
Zhu Yanyi felt conflicted. She knew Yan Aohan didn’t feel good making this decision. She wasn’t him; she didn’t understand everything about him. For her, performing this surgery might ensure her relatives’ safety. But the result might cause Zhang Haitao to lose his voice permanently. By speaking these words, he took on all that guilt.
