"What!?" Yibo blurted out as he looked at Zhan with disbelief in his eyes. "How? Zan Jin...he is a shy type of person. How can he be Meng Yao?" Yibo shook his head "I am sure you are making some mistake."
"I am not sure of it, Yibo," Zhan said in a serious tone. "I am digging into the news. How about let's meet everyone at my apartment?"
"Mn." Yibo nodded. "I cannot wait to kill that Meng Yao with my bare hands. He fucking dared to kill you."
"Aigoo, my boyfriend is scary." Zhan put his head on Yibo's shoulder.
"Yes, I am," Yibo said caressing Zhan's soft hair. "Even though I become submissive with you, but it doesn't mean that I am really like that."
"I know it Wang Yibo." Zhan smiled as he looked into Yibo's eyes. "And I want to see that scary Yibo on our wedding night."
"Hah?!" Yibo gasped at Zhan's words. "You are thinking of too far."
"Really?" Zhan pouted. "Don't you want to marry me?"
"When did I say that I don't want to marry you?!" Yibo made a 'are you kidding me' face. "I will marry you and nobody gonna change this."
"Yibo, you know, your possessiveness and determination is what made me fall in love with you." Zhan smiled.
"Don't make me blush Zhanzhan." Yibo smiled. "Now let's go downstairs. Aren't you feeling hungry?"
Zhan nodded and Yibo dragged Zhan downstairs.

At Xuan Lu and Zhan's apartment*
Time: 7:00 pm
All of the 6 friends along with Li Bowen were in the drawing-room. Zhan and Yibo, Jiyang and Hao Xuan, Ziyi and Xuan Lu sat together while Li Bowen sat separately.
"Well, Zhan, are you sure Meng Yao is Zan Jin?" Hao Xuan asked looking at Zhan.
"Yes. I am." Zhan said. "Because of the way he looked at Yibo was completely different. As far as I know, Zan Jin likes me. So as a reflex, he will hate Yibo. But Meng Yao said he loved Yibo. Again Meng Yao's gaze at Yibo was completely different. He looked at Yibo as if he would kill Yibo, if possible." Zhan explained.
"Damn! That Meng Yao!" Li Bowen cursed.
"Zhan, what's your next move?" Ziyi asked leaning forward. "Do you want me to help you to make Zan Jin fall head over heels for you?"
"Not required." Xuan Lu said in short. "I will hack into their system." Xuan Lu took out her laptop and started to type something while the remaining people kept staring at the laptop screen. "It's done." Xuan Lu smiled as she hacked the Meng group system.
"Jiejie, is it Meng Yao's system?" Jiyang asked pointing at the screen.
"It contains all the necessary information about their alliances and their company investments." Xuan Lu explained.
"Woah! That's great." Xiao Zhan smirked. "Shijie, can you please check it and tell me if there is any share of Xiao Groups."
"Sure." Xuan Lu smiled and her fingers moved swiftly in the keyboard "Mn. Zhanzhan, our father already kept these Mengs under his control."
"Really?" Zhan said excitedly as he leaned towards his shijie.
"Yes." Xuan Lu said showing the laptop to Zhan. "Our father holds a 90% share in a joint business with the Mengs. And if I am not wrong, currently I am doing designs for the products of that business. I realized that if our father takes his shares back, Meng's business will be damaged greatly." Xuan Lu smirked.
"That's it!" Zhan said hitting on the table. "Our father is really one of the most intelligent people I have ever seen." Zhan smiled. "Uncle Wang holds a 40% share in Meng's business while Wang groups have a good partnership with the Mengs."
"Xiao Zhan." Li Bowen suddenly called out in a low voice. "I think...5 months ago, I too signed a joint business with Meng groups."
"That's it!" Ziyi said excitedly. "The Mengs think that they are powerful. Poor they! They don't know if we take our shares back, then they will collapse in no time."
"Calm down, babes." Xuan Lu said pulling Ziyi by her waist. "Don't put too much pressure on your little brain."
"Lulu jiejie..." Ziyi said slightly pushing Xuan Lu.
"Mn?" Xuan Lu arched her brow.
"Ahm ahm." Zhan coughed. "I think we have solely single people here. They will feel bad if you get this lovey-dovey here."
"Sorry." Xuan Lu slightly bowed. "I cannot control myself when this cutie pie is with me."
"Cutiepie?!" Hao Xuan exclaimed. "She is Miss Wildfire, jiejie."
"Come to the point." Li Bowen interrupted. "What should we do now, Zhan."
"After two day there is Inter-University games. I am sure When Zhuliu is preparing for making us defeat against them." Zhan said in a stoic tone. "To show Wen Zhuliu his place, we must defeat him in the games. It's only possible if the Meng groups get collapsed before Wens."
"If I think I can help," Yibo said in a low voice.
"Mn?" Zhan frowned.
"I can go to Meng groups and destroy their database," Yibo said.
"Ah...you are really so clever Wang Yibo," Ziyi said sarcastically. "The Mengs will invite their enemy to come and destroy their database."
"Idea overruled," Zhan said. "No one is going to set their foot in Meng's office. It's pretty dangerous." Zhan suddenly looked at his shijie. "Shijie, how about you destroy some of their databases so that they won't get grip on their business."
"Sure Zhan." Xuan Lu smiled.
"I am breaking my alliance with the Meng groups." Li Bowen declared. "Xiao groups don't need to their shares back. It may lead to problems in Xiao Groups."
"Good!" Hao Xuan smirked. "If I am not wrong, the business which Li groups signed with the Meng groups is one of the most profitable business of the Mengs and their big empire will surely be damaged if Bowen breaks his alliance."
"What if the Mengs attack Bowen because of this step?" Yibo asked.
"Mn." Xuan Lu nodded. "It makes sense."
"I think, Bowen should say that he didn't get as many profits as he expected. So he his breaking the alliance." Ziyi said.
"Wait!" Zhan interrupted. "Bowen cannot break his alliance. We need his involvement in the Mengs so that we can know every single step of Mengs." Zhan said brushing the bridge of his nose. "Bowen, make your alliance even stronger than before."
"Then how to shake the Mengs' business?!" Ziyi said frustrated.
"Wang Corporation and Wang Groups will help us," Xuan Lu said looking into Meng Groups' database. "Yibo's father Uncle Wang will withdraw 10% of his share while Hao Xuan's father, CEO of Wang Groups will threaten to break the partnership with Mengs."
"10% share withdrawn won't cause that much problem," Yibo said looking at Xuan Lu.
"10% sounds as little amount but your father has established his strong roots there. Withdrawal of 10% will surely effect Mengs." Zhan explained to Yibo. "Wang groups won't interfere in this mess. Instead, Xiao Groups need to take an active role here."
"Xiao Zhan, Mengs are powerful. What if they harm your family?" Jiyang asked worriedly.
"Meng groups are powerful but they are the biggest idiots as well." Zhan chuckled and his expressions grew darker. "Shijie, I think we need to talk to father regarding this threat. Can you talk to him now?" Zhan asked.
"Sure." Xuan Lu said and excused herself.
"I need to talk to Yibo's father," Zhan said. "Excuse me."
After talking on the phone, both Xuan Lu and Xiao Zhan returned to the drawing-room after few minutes. Both of them had huge triumph smile on their faces.
"How's it?" Ziyi asked snaking her hand around her girlfriend.
"Father agreed." Xuan Lu said. "He said if he can withdraw 30% business share if we want."
"Shijie, what did you say?" Zhan asked taking out his phone.
"I said that it's not needed now. He only needs to threaten the Meng groups." Xuan Lu explained.
"Good," Zhan smirked. "Uncle Wang is removing 10% share from Mengs. Bowen, I need to talk privately with you." Zhan said and dragged Bowen to his room.
"Shoot," Bowen said.
"Increase our business with Uncle Wang," Zhan said. "I already invested more with the Wang Corporation to support Uncle Wang. You too need to increase your partnership of our joint business with Wang Corporation."
"I already increased my shares, Zhan," Bowen said. "Even the Mengs cannot do anything against Mr. Wang. The Wens just treated Mr. Wang but the way we planned, they cannot even dare to touch Mr. Wang's single strand of hair."
"Good." Zhan smiled.
"Zhan, another good news." Bowen smiled. "Meng Groups are currently having internal conflicts. If jiejie can destroy some of the most important databases, then I am sure it will affect the Mengs in the most terrible way and it may even become headlines tomorrow."
"Perfect!" Zhan smiled. "It looks like I have to perform an important role here." A deadly smirk spread across Zhan's face.
After their private talk, Zhan and Bowen returned to the drawing-room. Following Zhan's words, Xuan Lu deleted some of the most important databases from the Meng Groups system while Xiao Zhan's father threatened the Mengs about the withdrawal of shares and Wang Yibo's father withdrew 10% of shares.
"All done," Zhan smirked and threw his body back on the couch, leaning on it. "Now we have to wait for tomorrow's news."
"It's already 10 pm, how about you guy stay here tonight?" Xuan Lu smiled gently. "Zhanzhan will share his room with Yibo while Jiyang and Hao Xuan will share a room and Bowen will sleep in another room."
"Thank you, jiejie." Bowen smiled. "But I have to leave. I have to take care of something."
"Then I won't force you." Zhan said making a weird face." CEO Li is a very busy man."
"Jiejie..." Hao Xuan said hesitatingly. "I am leaving as well. Jiyang needs to read some books regarding business classes and he needs my help."
"Shijie, I am leaving too," Zhan said following Hao Xuan. "I have important business to take care of too." He said pulling Yibo closer.
"Aah." Xuan Lu said noting her head. "These kids have grown up. Okay, I won't force you." Xuan Lu then turned towards Zhan. "Zhan, don't put overpressure on yourself. You know what we are doing is very risky." Xuan Lu said in a low voice so that only Zhan could hear.
"Shijie, don't worry." Zhan smiled. "I have my own ways. I won't let the Mengs and Wens go away that easily. I can still remember how the Mengs threaten Wang Corporation and Xiao Groups during old times and those When bastards have their eyes on you and Ziyi. I cannot withstand this anymore."
"Take care, ZhanZhan." Xuan Lu gave Zhan a light hug.
After leaving the apartment, Zhan drove to Yibo's apartment. He parked the car and rushed to his room. He asked Yibo to make instant noodles for dinner. Yibo felt a little weird when he saw Zhan acting weirdly. He wanted to ask Zhan but kept quiet.
"Yibo, after dinner go to sleep," Zhan said putting the noodles in his mouth. "I have to take care of something. Don't ask me anything now. Okay?"
"But Zhan..."
"Yibo..." Zhan said putting his hand on Yibo's. "I will join you in your bed. Don't worry. I just have to take care of something."
After dinner, Yibo went to bed and Zhan accompanied him. After making sure that Yibo feel asleep Zhan went to his room. Then he got dressed in completely dark shade clothes.
Instead of taking his car, he took Yibo's bike. After driving for about 15 minutes, he reached a dark alley. Parking his bike at the side, Zhan went into the alley. A young man dressed in entire black dress was standing with his back towards Zhan. Hearing Zhan's footsteps, that man turned towards Zhan.
"So you are here, Mr. Xiao." The man said with a smirk.
"Yes," Zhan said while his expressions grew darker. "I have brought what you have wanted."
