Chapter 12

A few hours later the jet landed on Beijing's International airport runway.

"Where are we going Zihan, your Manager won't stop calling me", Ji Yicheng asked glaring at the man beside him

"To Zhang Shen City hospital", Jiang Zihan answered looking out of the window

"Give me the phone I will talk to Nanheng",

Ji Yicheng passed his phone to him then started the car,

"Nanheng", Jiang Zihan calmly said and the shout that reverberated from the phone made him take it away from his ears

"JIANG ZIHAN!!!.....How dare you leave without informing me, you haven't done your recording yet and you also have a shoot coming up next week. Where are you", Nanheng yelled getting into his car

"China", Jiang Zihan replied looking at the view of Beijing through his car window it felt great to be back in his home country after so long

"You are crazy Zihan, what did you go and do in China you haven't been there in five years", Nanheng yelled barely able to contain his anger, he would have smashed Jiang Zihan's head against the steering wheel if he was in front of him.

"Something important came up Nanheng, please postpone the recording and the shoot I will tell you everything later", Jiang Zihan said and hung up the call, Nanheng is probably boiling in rage right now its better not to talk to him further.

"Nanheng is right Zihan, you have gone completely crazy", Ji Yicheng said shaking his head, this friend of his was so hard to understand. Jiang Zihan has always had a lazy, nonchalant and indifferent demeanor, and his natural expressionless face has never been one to give off his thoughts, he is simple yet complicated, he is covered behind a thick wall that makes it impossible for people to understand him despite being so close to him and his deep soulless eyes that never gives away more than they should.

"We are here", Ji Yicheng said and Jiang Zihan had already opened the car door his face completely covered leaving nothing to the view, he was wearing a black facemask, black Sunglasses and black face cap. Ji Yicheng followed him waiting to find out why Jiang Zihan decided to come to China all of a sudden.

The both of them entered a doctor's ward a little while later.

"Aigoo, so its true you really were coming to China", a man in a doctor's coat sitting behind a desk said and the other man in front of him chuckled loudly.

"How a woman can make our family's great Jiang Zihan step into China after five long years", the other man said and the three men including Ji Yicheng laughed

"Tch does this woman know how loyal and dedicated you are", the doctor said and Jiang Zihan just ignored all of their comments getting straight to the point

"What did you find out", he asked in his usual voice but his tone had a tinge of anxiousness and anticipation

"Its true that a dead body was released by the hospital 19 months ago and it was claimed to be Chen Lihua's but it wasn't", the doctor said and Jiang Zihan's expressionless face finally had a smile on it

"Someone else's unclaimed body was released, the real Chen Lihua was transferred out of the hospital three days after the accident but I didn't manage to find out where she was taken to", the doctor added and Jiang Zihan's smile faltered again.

"How did you find out she was alive though", the other man said and Ji Yicheng just watched the three men

"Yan Jingshen called me and said he spotted her but he didn't manage to tell me where before the call got disconnected and I haven't been able to contact him again", Jiang Zihan answered looking out of the window, finding out she was at least still alive lifted an heavy burden off his chest.

"Why did you come to China then, is Yan Jingshen here?", the other man asked and Jiang Zihan nodded.

The doctor's name was Qin Siting and the other man in the room was Ji Ziming, Ji Yicheng's non identical twin brother. The Ji, Yan, Qin and Jiang families were the top families of China with there roots being more than a thousand years old. The Ji from the south, the Yan from the East, the Qin from the West and the Jiang from the north, this five young masters have been best of friends ever since childhood.

"Aah, you are so crazy about Chen Lihua, we never thought our brother would become so loyal to a woman after all the girls you had rejected. Tchh", Qin Siting mocked and the three men laughed again,

Jiang Zihan had always kept women at arms length and has never been in a relationship with anyone whosoever, with a strikingly good looking face that could put all men to shame his number of suitors could line up from here around China a few tens of times but he never gave any of them face or even pay any attention to them until he met Chen Lihua in London six months before her accident, and ever since then he had not been able to forget her.

"If he his in China its makes it easier he will probably call you up in a while. But why did Chen Lihua make the whole world believe she is dead though?, she hasn't even shown her face to the world once in the last nineteen months?, I wouldn't even believe she was still alive if not for what Siting found out", Ji Ziming said looking between his twin brother and Qin Siting.

Jiang Zihan also desperately wanted to find an answer to those questions but first he had to find Chen Lihua wherever in the world she might be.

"Your Grandfather must have already found out you are in China won't you go back home?", Ji Ziming asked looking at Jiang Zihan's back

"I will be forced back even if I don't want to, I could hide from him for so many years because I wasn't in China the moment I stepped into the country I entered his territory there is no way I would be able to escape him", Jiang Zihan answered calmly, he already knew he had to face his grandparents the moment he stepped into China he just had to find a way to convince them regarding the issue.

"I am leaving", Jiang Zihan said and headed towards the door, Ji Yicheng was about following him when Ji Ziming pulled him back

"Where did you think you are going brother", Ji Ziming asked in a mocking tone gripping his brother's hand tightly

"I came with Zihan so I will obviously leave with him", Ji Yicheng answered as a matter of fact

"Zihan is going to answer to his grandparents, so you have to go answer to yours as well as to the reason why you didn't come home in all these years", Ji Ziming said and Qin Siting burst into laughter, while Jiang Zihan opened the door and left.

"Zihan wait let me come with you, let go of me Ziming I don't want to go home. Grandpa will kill me", Ji Yicheng said struggling to free his hands from his brother's vice like grip

"Zihan has already left so let's go, Mom and dad haven't seen you in so long, they miss you" Ji Ziming said and pulled him out of the room Qin Siting's laughter reverberating behind them.

"What missing..... the both of them are going to beat me to a pulp and you know that very well, Ziming why are you pushing your brother to the lion's den", Ji Yicheng kept on shouting but Ji Ziming clearly had no plans of letting him escape.

"Young Master", four young men dressed in black stood in front of the hospital and bowed to Jiang Zihan respectfully immediately he stepped out of the building, it was obvious they had been waiting for him to come back. Jiang Zihan looked calmly at them and could recognize that they were the Jiang's family personal guards,

"The Old Master asked for you to be escorted to the Main Mansion", one of the men said in a respectful tone.

"Grandpa is sure efficient he sent people to pick me up so soon, I landed an hour ago and the drive from here to the old mansion is also one hour so he has sent people to follow me immediately I landed", Jiang Zihan thought smirking and looked at the array of black luxurious cars in front of the hospital.

"What if I refuse to go", he asked and the four men looked at him with a hard yet respectful gaze.

"Then Young Master will have to forgive our insolence cause we have been permitted to use force",

Jiang Zihan looked at the cars and it was obvious each contained at least three men looking at the ten cars, it meant they were at least around thirty men there was no need to fight a useless battle then, he already knew he had to go home anyway.

"Fine I will follow you in my car", Jiang Zihan said preparing to open his car door when one of the men interrupted

"Sorry Young Master but you have to follow us in our car, one of us will drive your car", Jiang Zihan looked at all of them again before handing over his car keys to them and entering the car whose door was already opened for him.
