Dark Purple Rose [YiZhan FF]

Chapter 27

When they reached the city limits and finally left them behind, Zhan dared to speak again. "Where are we going?" He hoped he could engage Agent Lee in a conversation so that he might become careless and Zhan could do something. The question was, what should he do? What could he even do?

"You'll see about that. Now just shut up." Replied Agent Lee angrily. Zhan nodded silently and looked out of the window. They had now reached the country road, which was lined with forest trees and bushes. It was actually a beautiful sight because the sun's rays shone between the trees and bushes and it looked somehow magical.

They drove from the country road through a village, back on the country road, then along a dirt track, back on a country road, then another village and finally Zhan had fallen asleep, even though he had fought against it. He wanted to stay awake and see exactly which route they took to this ominous lawyer. But at some point, Zhan's eyes simply closed.

At some point, Agent Lee shook Zhan's shoulder vigorously. "Wake up already! We're here!" He shouted at Zhan.

Zhan opened his eyes, looked around in confusion and saw that they were standing in a parking lot in front of a small office building. He looked at his wristwatch and was shocked to realize that they had been on the road for four and a half hours. He also had no idea where they were. And he didn't have time to get a picture either. Agent Lee almost dragged him out of the car.

He dragged Zhan behind him to the entrance of the office building. There was no doorman and no security guard. Agent Lee rang a bell that said "Wong Law Office" and shortly afterwards the door was opened by a buzzer. They entered the building and went to the elevator, where Agent Lee pressed the three for the third floor. When they arrived on the third floor, a man, Zhan estimated him to be in his mid-50s, was already standing in the doorway to the lawyer's office.

They approached the man, who looked at them questioningly and confused. "Yes, please?"

"Tell him who you are." Agent Lee ordered.

"My... my name is Xiao Zhan." Zhan said, hoping to draw the lawyer's attention to the fact that he was anything but there voluntarily.

"Xiao Zhan?" The lawyer asked and then seemed to remember. "Oh yes. Please come in." The lawyer didn't understand what Zhan was trying to tell him with his eyes.

They entered the small office and went straight to the lawyer's desk. They sat down and Agent Lee told Zhan to give the lawyer the envelope. Zhan handed it to him, he opened it and took out the contents. When the lawyer realized it was Mrs. Isari's death certificate, his face went pale. "Oh dear." He said and asked them both for a moment.

The lawyer disappeared from the office and returned a few minutes later. He had a box with him, which he only opened in the presence of Zhan and Agent Lee after Zhan had confirmed his identity with his ID card. The box contained the will, a white envelope, the USB stick and a few securities.

"Very well then, I'll read the will." Said the lawyer.

"That's not necessary. Just tell us what Xiao Zhan inherits." Agent Lee ordered.

"But that's not how it works. Everything must be done correctly!" Insisted the lawyer.

"And I say it can be done." Said Agent Lee and drew his gun. "Go on!"

Now the lawyer's hands were shaking too and he finally understood what Zhan had been trying to tell him with those looks. But now it was too late and the lawyer had no choice but to do what this rude guy wanted him to do. "He inherits this USB stick." He said, pushing the USB stick to Agent Lee, who then handed it over to Zhan. "And he inherits the inheritance account, which has 288,638,913.38 renminbi yuan in it at this time. Also enclosed is a personal letter from Mrs. Isari for Mr. Xiao Zhan."
