There wasn't much malice in that smile; rather, it conveyed a sense of sudden realization and clarity.

He said this as if trying to choose a suitable word, but after racking his brains, he didn't know if it was because his vocabulary was too limited or something else. In the end, he just smiled and didn't continue.

He simply said with admiration, "They're a match made in heaven."

"Thank you," Jiang Yan replied politely, to avoid making Han Mingzhi too embarrassed.

"Well then, I'll be frank. I hope that even after the Han family's downfall, my mother and I can still live peacefully. Over the years, we've built up some foundation, so we don't need anything from the Han family. But we still want what we deserve. To put it bluntly..."

Han Mingliang suddenly cupped his hands in a rather unorthodox martial arts greeting.

"Please, miracle doctor, protect us."

This "cover" contains many meanings—this is Han Mingliang's true purpose.

"Use your live streaming platform?" Qin Yiheng seemed to find his statement particularly ridiculous, and his words were tinged with sarcasm.

"How could that be? Didn't I say? That's our cooperation. What I really want to give to Doctor Qin is naturally other benefits." Han Mingliang didn't mind and smiled along. Perhaps he played the role of a playboy too much, so he smiled without any burden.

"What other benefits are you referring to?" Qin Yiheng still didn't seem too impressed.

He couldn't trust Han Mingliang directly, even though he was honest enough. He was still a member of the Han family, and someone who pretended to be weak while actually being strong.

Although Qin Yiheng wasn't worried, if Han Mingliang caused any trouble, he would also end up with a lot of lawsuits.

Because he himself is a walking trouble.

However, some long-term considerations still need to be taken into account. Since Han Mingliang has made it clear that he has come to surrender, we cannot let him achieve his goal so easily.

Whatever it is, if you get it too easily, you won't cherish it.

"We've mentioned this many times already, do you think the miracle doctor wouldn't know?"

Despite Han Mingliang's composed demeanor since his arrival, he wasn't entirely confident.

After all, Qin Yiheng himself is no ordinary person, and he has the Chu family and the Yinghao Pavilion behind him. Whether he will value the sincerity and so-called benefits he offers is one thing, and whether he is willing to accept them is another.

In short, Qin Yiheng is not easy to deal with.

That's why he contacted Jiang Yan first.

"What if I really don't know?" Qin Yiheng shook his head.

So the two of them started playing charades. Qin Yiheng knew perfectly well what Qin Yiheng knew, but he pretended not to. Han Mingliang knew that Qin Yiheng knew, but he didn't say it, and he had no way to explain it.

After the tongue twister, Qin Yiheng was not affected much, but Han Mingliang was not in good condition.

Isn't this just deliberately making things difficult?

Why?

Han Mingliang thought to himself, and that's when he asked the question.

"Why must you make things so difficult for me, Doctor? If you don't want to, you can simply not meet me. If Han Mingzhi finds out about this meeting, I won't have an easy time either. If I hadn't made up my mind, why would I take such a big risk? Even if Han Mingzhi takes control of the Han family, my mother and I have enough savings to live on over the years..."

He was miserable, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

After all, things haven't reached the point of no return; it's just a matter of who can hold on until the end.

He absolutely has to persevere.

"If it were really as you say, you really wouldn't have come looking for me." Qin Yiheng suddenly interrupted Han Mingliang, which surprised Han Mingliang greatly. He didn't speak for a long time, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Even Han Mingzhi didn't know what he was doing behind the scenes, but Qin Yiheng's words clearly indicated that he already knew.

The company he and his mother set up in another city couldn't remain hidden forever. If one day the Han family really fell apart and he and his mother went far away, Han Mingzhi would definitely continue to keep an eye on their movements and worry about their counterattack.

At that time, the company will inevitably be exposed.

If Han Mingzhi sees this as a major threat and attacks him, he might not be able to withstand it.

That's why he wanted to find Qin Yiheng as a backer at this time. Even if it wasn't a permanent solution, why would Qin Yiheng provide him with comfort? Han Mingliang understood this simple truth.

Therefore, he has always emphasized cooperation.

Isn't it good for Qin Yiheng to have an inside man like himself in the Han family?

Throughout, Han Mingliang's attitude was that "if the Han family is in trouble, it will affect the whole of Yuzhou. It's a matter of ripples and consequences. Qin Yiheng will not ignore it, so he came to him."

Throughout the long conversation, Qin Yiheng never asked, "Why do you think I would help you? What does the Han family's situation have to do with me?"

That means my idea was correct; otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted any more time and kept me in this precarious situation.

But then again, how did Qin Yiheng know about his "own thoughts" that he had just thought of, such a complicated matter that might not even happen?

Everyone says Qin Yiheng is a miracle doctor with all sorts of abilities, and now it seems there's some truth to it.

Han Mingliang has some respect for him, but now he's filled with even more determination to win.

"Since the divine doctor knows everything, why does he insist on making things difficult for me?" Han Mingliang smiled bitterly, repeating the same words as before.

This was the only different smile he had shown since he arrived, and it seemed much more genuine. It wasn't that he had been insincere before, but now it seemed closer to his true self.

Qin Yiheng didn't answer the question, but instead asked him solemnly, "If you tell anyone in the Han family about our conversation, do you know what consequences you will face?"

If Han Mingliang hadn't even thought about these things, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today.

"Whether you stick your head out or not, you'll still get stabbed. It's just a matter of when the knife comes, and whether it's fast or dull." Han Mingliang didn't give a formal answer.

However, even Jiang Yan, who was standing nearby, could understand this conversation.

Excellent answer.

Han Mingliang's identity is awkward. Since childhood, he has been labeled as an "illegitimate child" and has never had any legitimate contact with the Han family. Whether you say they are conserving their strength or avoiding conflict, it is no easy feat for them to get to where they are today.

They have worked hard for a long time to get to where they are today.

Having invested so much, who would be willing to accept a "loss" outcome?
