Chapter 46 - .46

Danielle spoke very firmly. If she didn't, people might keep barging into her home in the future.

Wang Dazhuang immediately got angry. "What do you mean barging into your home? You two clearly agreed to meet. I don't care—hand over my son now, and you also need to divorce this man and marry my son."

He pointed at Zachary while saying it harshly.

Just thinking about the black card he secretly saw that day made Wang Dazhuang tremble with excitement.

That card had 50 million on it! With that money, he could easily marry a younger wife.

Danielle rolled her eyes. "You're crazy."

"You all better leave my house now. I said I didn't see him, and that means I didn't."

Right now, Danielle was waiting for some important news. She didn't have time to argue with them.

Wang Dazhuang still wanted to make a scene, but luckily, Chu Hong was more sensible.

"Sorry, I'll take care of this myself."

After saying that, Chu Hong dragged Wang Dazhuang into the next room.

Then came the sound of fists hitting flesh, followed by Wang Dazhuang's painful screams.

Now they could only wait for news.

Danielle and Zachary sat upright in the living room.

Ding dong.

They looked at each other, then Danielle opened her wristband.

A strange message appeared.

"If you want to save your teammates, meet at Unit 001, Splendid Garden, at 3 PM. Don't call the police or contact anyone else, or I can't guarantee their safety."

Splendid Garden?

That was the second wealthiest neighborhood in the middle-tier zone.

It was filled with European-style mini-castles. Had Dora really hired someone that expensive?

Meanwhile, Dora was miserably preparing nutrient solution for the mother tree, looking like she was about to cry.

Who has time to deal with that? I'm about to pass out from the smell.

Beep beep beep.

The wristband buzzed again.

Danielle frowned and opened it. Jin Shan's mature and calm face appeared on the virtual screen.

"Jin Shan, what's up?"

"Danielle, do you have time today?"

Danielle frowned even more. "Not today, I…"

She was about to reject him when something suddenly came to mind. She turned to Zachary with a bright look in her eyes.

"Is Jin Shan rich?"

Zachary nodded. "The Jin family may not be one of the top eight, but they're not far behind."

"Then he must be able to afford a place in Splendid Garden, right?"

Even if he couldn't, he probably knew someone who could.

Danielle said excitedly.

Jin Shan kept smiling calmly on the screen, showing no signs of impatience.

After hearing Danielle's words, he even offered help.

"Are you looking to buy a place in Splendid Garden? What a coincidence—I actually own one there. How about—"

"No need. If my wife wants to buy it, I'll get it for her."

Even though he didn't have the money now, Zachary believed that with his awakened ability, he'd earn plenty in the future.

Besides, his wife was already rich. He leaned closer to Danielle in front of the screen on purpose.

My wife's money is my money. I'm happy to rely on her.

Jin Shan's brow twitched slightly at that.

Danielle didn't care about the silent tension between the two men. She eagerly looked at Jin Shan.

"Do you know the owner of Unit 001 in Splendid Garden?"

She just wanted to see who this high-level bodyguard was and what kind of deal Dora had made to hire them, so she could be prepared next time.

But Jin Shan just looked at her in confusion. "Did you need something from me?"

"Danielle…"

Zachary immediately asked, "That house is yours?"

His expression changed.

Danielle also looked at Jin Shan with a colder expression.

"Jin Shan, are you sure Unit 001 in Splendid Garden is your house?"

Things were getting interesting.

No one expected a random question to lead to the actual owner.

Jin Shan quickly sensed something was wrong. "That house is indeed under my name, but I don't live there."

"Then who lives there now?"

Danielle pressed on.

Jin Shan paused. "It's my cousin from my uncle's side—Jin Yu."

"Did something happen?"

Danielle stayed silent for a moment, then explained the message she had received earlier.

Jin Shan's expression darkened. "Don't worry. I'll definitely give you an explanation for this."

"Wait. I'm coming too—this involves my friends."

Danielle also wanted to know why Fei Yang and Leng were captured.

The three of them made a plan. Jin Shan went ahead to wait for them at Splendid Garden.

But when it was time to leave, Danielle hesitated at the sight of the two little ones.

"What should we do? Take them with us?"

Zachary wasn't sure either. They didn't know many people, and with things being uncertain, they couldn't be sure who was safe.

"Let's bring them. They already know your space ability is special. A little more won't matter."

After all, other powers could also involve strange abilities.

Although hers was quite rare.

From what Zachary knew, other space-type abilities didn't allow storing living beings—only the user could enter.

Danielle… really was different.

After bringing the two little ones, Danielle and Zachary immediately headed for Splendid Garden.

At the gate, from a distance, Danielle saw a group of black-suited bodyguards behind Jin Shan.

At that moment, she finally felt that Jin Shan looked like a true heir of a powerful family.

"Danielle, I already checked. My cousin is inside. Should I…"

"No."

Danielle raised her hand to stop him. "Zachary and I will go in first."

What if Jin Shan went in and Jin Yu covered something up?

Honestly, aside from Zachary and Rain, Danielle stayed wary of everyone else.

Jin Shan nodded with understanding, then waved his hand. The bodyguards vanished into the surroundings, and he himself found a place to hide.

Danielle and Zachary had just reached the front of Unit 001 when the door suddenly opened from the inside.

There was no sound.

Zachary grabbed Danielle's hand and walked in cautiously ahead of her.

The garden was beautiful, but Danielle had no mood to enjoy it.

As they got closer to the main building, black-suited bodyguards started appearing.

These people clearly had nothing to do with Jin Shan. Their eyes held clear hostility toward Danielle and Zachary.

The large white door of the main house was wide open. From a distance, Danielle saw Fei Yang and Leng hanging in midair.

Danielle rushed inside. "Fei Yang! Leng!"

Leng seemed okay, not badly injured, and kept shaking her head at Danielle.

Her mouth was gagged, but it was clear she was trying to tell Danielle to run.

Compared to her, Fei Yang was in worse shape. His face was bruised all over, obviously beaten badly.

Danielle looked around but didn't see Chu Xiong. Could they have been wrong?

Clap, clap, clap.

A loud clapping sound echoed as a chubby man in a suit, cigarette in his mouth, walked out with a sleazy look.

"You're Danielle? Heh. Why didn't anyone tell me you were such a beauty?"

"How about you leave my stupid brother and be with me instead?"
