Ah Hu looked at Xia Wan with a face full of terror, his eyes revealing deep fear. As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and vowed, "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely not let those two off easily! I will make them regret it!"
Hearing Ah Hu's words, Xia Wan's lips curled slightly, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Hmm, you're quite sensible. In that case, I'll give you one more chance to redeem yourself."
However, let me make this clear from the start: I don't care what methods you use, but those two need to keep me busy. If you can ruin their reputations, that would be even better!
As soon as Xia Wan finished speaking, Ah Hu clearly felt his tense nerves relax a little. He nodded hurriedly and replied, "Yes, yes, yes... Grandma, you can rest assured. I will do my best to handle this matter properly, even if it costs me my life!"
"Hmph, I bet you wouldn't dare try anything funny! Get lost, and remember, don't even think about doing anything underhanded, or else... hmph... I have plenty of ways to deal with you bunch of arrogant fools, and I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Xia Wan curled her lips again, her icy gaze sweeping slowly over Ah Hu and the others like a sharp blade.
Ah Hu and his gang dared not hesitate for a moment longer. They bowed and scraped like pounding garlic, then turned around and quickly left the scene.
This group of guys, who usually have no moral bottom line or sense of right and wrong, now secretly harbor deep resentment towards Xia Shuhua and her companion.
Xia Wan stood quietly, watching them gradually disappear into the distance. A faint, enigmatic smile remained on her lips, as if she had everything under control.
Even before leaving the hospital, Xia Wan had keenly noticed several pairs of eyes occasionally falling in the direction of her father's ward.
Based on her years of experience and intuition, she knew very well that these were people that Old Master Xia had specially left behind out of concern for his son's safety, with the purpose of protecting him.
However, Xia Wan was not in a hurry to return to the hospital. She knew that the most urgent task was to deal with the culprit who had put her family in such a predicament—Guo Guanghua.
Therefore, she carefully investigated Guo Guanghua's address and other relevant information through various channels, and made full preparations to go and find out the truth.
After much effort, Xia Wan finally confirmed that the information she had gathered was accurate: it turned out that Old Master Xia had already targeted Guo Guanghua, but due to some complicated reasons, he was unable to take drastic measures to eliminate him in one fell swoop, and could only suppress him to a certain extent.
Xia Wan couldn't care less about all that; all she wanted to do was get rid of this major threat as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.
Especially while my father was still recovering from his hospitalization, I couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
With this firm belief, she embarked on her journey to Guo Guanghua's residence without hesitation.
Based on the detailed address found beforehand, Xia Wan traveled non-stop and arrived at her destination smoothly in no time.
What unfolds before you is a somewhat old residential area, where houses of varying heights are scattered in a staggered manner, as if telling stories of bygone years.
Each building bears the marks of time, exuding a sense of vicissitude.
Guo Guanghua's home is located in one of the two-story buildings, and the surrounding environment looks quite peaceful and serene, no different from that of an ordinary family.
But Xia Wan knew in her heart that the more ordinary and unremarkable a place seemed, the more likely it was to hide unexpected dangers.
She cautiously approached the small building, like a nimble cat, using the surrounding trees, flower beds, and other obstacles as natural cover. Her movements were light and agile, cleverly avoiding the curious gazes of the neighbors.
It was afternoon, and the sunlight shone on the ground, creating a lazy atmosphere. Most people were taking a nap, which made Xia Wan's actions convenient.
Xia Wan carefully circled around to the back of the building and found a window that was half-open. She held her breath, gently pushed open the window, and jumped into the room.
The room was filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere; the furniture was neatly arranged, but it gave people a sense of oppression.
Xia Wan quickly scanned her surroundings with lightning speed, meticulously scanning every corner like a radar, but she did not notice anything particularly unusual.
The whole room was quiet, as if time had frozen at that moment, and it didn't seem like there was anyone else there.
So, Xia Wan went straight to the study without hesitation. As she gently closed the study door, before she could even start looking for what she wanted, a clear sound of footsteps came from outside.
Xia Wan was startled. Her eyes instantly sharpened like a hawk's as she quickly scanned the study again, anxiously searching for a hiding place where she could conceal herself!
Just when things were at their most critical, she caught sight of the narrow gap behind the bookshelf. Like a lifeline, she darted in and squeezed through it in the blink of an eye.
Almost at the same moment, the study door was slowly pushed open from the outside.
Because the bookshelf blocked Xia Wan's view, she couldn't see who the newcomers were at all. She could only tell from her hearing that there were two people who entered the room.
Based on their voices, she boldly guessed that the two were Guo Guanghua and her subordinates.
Moreover, this subordinate must be the Guo family servant named Guo Wang whom Guo Zheng had mentioned to her before, who has now become Guo Guanghua's capable secretary.
Guo Guanghua walked heavily to the chair, sat down slowly, and looked quite tired. He frowned slightly and asked, "Has Azhen written to me these past few days?"
Guo Wang carefully took out two envelopes from his pocket, then respectfully handed them to Guo Guanghua and said softly, "Master, there are no letters from the young master here, but Guo Zheng sent two in succession."
Guo Guanghua was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly reached out his right hand and took the envelope.
However, the moment he received the envelope, his relaxed brows suddenly furrowed tightly, as if these two seemingly ordinary envelopes concealed some enormous secret.
