Be my Playboy! [ZhanYi FF]

Chapter 27 - Silence

Also, the next day when Yibo was sitting in the living room with Youn and Wooseok, still angry with Zhan, the three of them talked about Zhan again, so Youn asked him, "Couldn't it have been your brother's boyfriend? He is Zhan's brother after all, and he is also as rich as Zhan isn't he?"

Yibo shook his head. "That's where you're wrong. The only really rich one in the family is Zhan. And he earned that money from his own business. Although Yanli and Cheng also inherited money when their father died, but not so much money that they could give away millions."

"But isn't Cheng working under Zhan in the organization Zhan's father founded? Surely he makes a lot of money there?" Youn wanted to know.

"Yes, he does. But Cheng doesn't earn so much there that he can just give away millions of yuan. And he had used his inheritance to buy an expensive apartment in downtown Shanghai. When he is here in Beijing, he is always with my brother. And I know that Cheng said he and my brother are currently saving money to buy an apartment or a house here."

"I understand. But I'm of the opinion that Zhan didn't do it. Think about it. From the beginning he told you he wouldn't do anything you didn't want and always asked you if you agreed with this or that. I don't think he would get so abusive."

"I don't want to believe it either. But other than Zhan, I can't think of anyone else. Who else could just give away 20 million yuan? And who else has so much influence in the city to get my parents two well-paying jobs they're not actually qualified for?"

"Sure true, it all points to Zhan. But I just doubt it was him. After all, he would never do anything to upset you."

"Who else could it have been Youn? Who? I don't have an answer. Do you have an answer?"

"Why don't you talk to Zhan again?"

"What good would that do?"

"Maybe he can find out who's behind it. Did you read a name on the bank statement then? I mean, the money has to come from somewhere."

"There wasn't a name. It was a bank statement they got first. All that was on it was the balance in the account."

"I don't know Yibo. It all seems strange to me. Please call Zhan and ask him." Said Youn.

Yibo didn't feel like it, but thought it would be good to ask Zhan. So he tried to call him, but it only went to voicemail. He and Youn tried several more times that day, but only got the voicemail. And also when Yibo tried to call Yanli, the result was the same.

Since Yibo became more and more insecure, he even called his parents to get a description of the man who came to them. But their description was very vague and could fit Zhan, Cheng and as many other men. Likewise, they could not even tell him the man's name anymore. She said they only met him once, after all, and that's when he only briefly mentioned his name once. The money had also come from a numbered account and therefore there was no name on the bank statement there either.

There was even a moment when Yibo thought of Emily and her parents. Because they were surely still mad at him. But Yibo quickly dismissed the thought. Even if they still hated him, they would hardly give his parents 20 million yuan and two well-paid jobs. That would have nothing to do with revenge.

To make sure it wasn't Cheng, Yibo even called his brother and asked him if he knew if Cheng had been coming into a lot of money lately. But his brother didn't know because he hadn't seen Cheng for a couple of weeks and they didn't usually talk about money when they talked on the phone or saw each other.

Yibo made a question mark after Cheng's name in his mind, since his brother couldn't give him a definite answer. Emily and her parents, on the other hand, he brushed over in his mind. It definitely could not have been them. Yibo was absolutely sure of that. Because they would have been interested in revenge and not in helping Yibo's parents to a good life.
