CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 331: REFUSING TO BELIEVE HE IS DEAD

"Continue sending people to salvage, also, pay attention to the nearby ships on that day. Maybe they were rescued." Ningwan ordered again.

"Yes, Madam, I will arrange it immediately." Chen Tan nodded.

"Chen Tan, Zhan Hanjue can’t return for the time being. It’s going to be hard on you with the company’s matters. Is Xia Wenyuan helping to handle the company’s affairs now?" Ningwan asked again.

"That’s the current arrangement."

Ningwan said, "Okay, I’ll find time to visit the company and meet with Xia Wenyuan."

"Alright, Madam."

After giving out instructions on finding Zhan Hanjue and matters of Zhan Group, Ningwan started to give orders about household affairs.

Old Mrs. Zhan suddenly fell into a coma, and Zhan Hanjue’s life was uncertain, making the Zhan Family uneasy now.

Fortunately, Housekeeper Wu and Mrs. Chen are both veterans of the Zhan Family.

Ningwan called them over first to instruct them to stabilize the situation in the Zhan Family. Tell everyone not to panic, the young master is just missing temporarily, he’ll be back sooner or later, and Old Lady will wake up too.

For now, they just need to do their duties and stabilize the situation in the Zhan Family.

As for the others coming to visit Old Mrs. Zhan and inquire about Zhan Hanjue, if they can be turned away, do so, otherwise, they should come see her.

Housekeeper Wu and Mrs. Chen nodded in agreement.

With Ningwan overseeing, they felt somewhat relieved.

After taking care of everything, Ningwan realized she hadn’t eaten anything for half a day.

She quickly ordered some dishes and asked He to instruct the kitchen.

He didn’t expect that at this moment, she could still eat.

However, she was quite happy, at least the Madam could still eat.

"Madam, the young lady who was brought here has woken up."

Just after Ningwan finished eating, He hurried over to report.

Ningwan frowned, almost forgetting Wan Tianning.

"I’ll go over and have a look."

However, at that moment, Wan Tianning was having a tantrum.

When Ningwan arrived, Wan Tianning was throwing a vase outside.

If Ningwan hadn’t dodged quickly, it might have hit her.

Ningwan, furious, walked in and shouted angrily: "Wan Tianning, what are you doing?"

"Good timing, where is my mom? Where is Tianci?" Wan Tianning questioned.

Although Ningwan was furious with Wan Tianning, she didn’t dare tell her the bad news about her mother.

She could only explain with a stern face: "Mother is in trouble in Philadelphia, Tianci was detained, and mother is there accompanying him. Behave yourself, we barely escaped, don’t cause trouble. You’re already thirteen years old, not a clueless child anymore, I won’t spoil you like your mother."

"Of course, you won’t spoil me like Mom did, Ningwan, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. You killed Mom, and you’re trying to hide it from me, you wicked woman." Wan Tianning screamed hysterically, pointing at Ningwan.

Ningwan frowned and sternly rebuked: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did Mother die?"

"I heard it all, your housemaids said it. Mom’s car fell into the sea, she died with that Zhan Hanjue. I lost my mom, you lost your husband, and you still want to hide it from me." Wan Tianning cried loudly.

Her crying gave Ningwan a headache, and she sternly reprimanded: "You know nothing, talking nonsense? The car merely fell into the sea, they are just temporarily missing. The bodies haven’t been retrieved, how do you know they must be dead? I refuse to believe they are dead, they will definitely not die."

"You’re deceiving yourself."

"As long as their bodies are not retrieved for a day, I will not believe they are dead for a day." Ningwan declared resolutely.

After speaking, she instructed to have the door closed, watch over her, and not let her run out.

"Ningwan, let me go, I need to find Mom. Let me go, you can’t keep me locked up."

Wan Tianning banged the door hard, shouting loudly.

But Ningwan ignored her.

Wan Tianning’s words made her feel increasingly distressed, she had to quickly go back to lie down and rest.

Under no circumstances could she allow any harm to come to her child.

Zhan Hanjue loved children so much, he was so happy to know she was pregnant.

So, she must not let the child in her belly have any accident.

Otherwise, if he returns and finds out something happened to the child, how heartbroken he would be.

On the second day, she had He check on Wan Tianning’s situation.

Knowing she ate something, though still causing trouble, at least she wasn’t on a hunger strike.

Only then did she feel at ease.

"Let her cause a fuss as she pleases, as long as she doesn’t harm herself and eats well." Ningwan said.

He nodded and immediately instructed the other maids in the house to keep a good eye on Miss Wan Tianning and not let her harm herself.

Ningwan then went to the company.

Xia Wenyuan received her.

Ningwan originally intended to have him suppress the news of Zhan Hanjue’s disappearance and not release it to the public.

Unexpectedly, Xia Wenyuan said with a solemn expression: "It’s already too late, everyone already knows about Mr. Zhan’s disappearance. Soon, many people from the board will come to discuss this matter together."

"How did it get leaked so quickly?" Ningwan frowned and asked.

Xia Wenyuan handed her a newspaper to see.

Ningwan saw the headline reporting this matter, and the newspaper was from the Philadelphia Daily.

So, it was Wan Tianyi who leaked the information.

"Now that everyone knows, what will happen?" Ningwan asked.

Xia Wenyuan said: "These people will probably demand the election of a new president."

"Zhan Hanjue isn’t dead, why are they in such a hurry?" Ningwan said angrily.

Xia Wenyuan advised her earnestly: "But, Mr. Zhan is also missing now, and the company can’t be without a leader for a day. Besides, some people have had ulterior motives from the beginning, so it’s normal for them to make such proposals. Madam, please don’t get angry, take care of your health."

Ningwan frowned deeply.

"What should we do now?"

Xia Wenyuan pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone else can be dealt with, the most troublesome person now is Mrs. Leng."

"How could I forget her, with such a great opportunity, how could she let it go easily?" Ningwan scoffed.

However, she attended the meeting as Zhan Hanjue’s wife this time.

Sure enough, Mrs. Leng requested to elect the next president, to replace Zhan Hanjue’s duties.

Ningwan was the first to stand up and oppose: "Mr. Zhan is merely missing, Mrs. Leng, isn’t it too soon to elect a new person?"

"Ningwan, you’re not even a shareholder of the company, what do you know." Mrs. Leng retorted.

Ningwan said calmly: "I’m indeed not a shareholder, but I am Zhan Hanjue’s wife and thus have the right to stop anything unfavorable to him."

Mrs. Leng scoffed.

Looking toward the other shareholders.

The other shareholders remained silent, not daring to offend Mrs. Leng, nor did they want to immediately tear faces with Ningwan.

This meeting thus ended unhappily.

However, as Ningwan was leaving, Mrs. Leng scoffed and warned her: "Ningwan, without Zhan Hanjue backing you up, let’s see how long you can hold on."

"I’ll hold on until Zhan Hanjue returns." Ningwan retorted powerfully.
