Chapter 405 The Second Young Master's Terrible Intuition
Inside the wooden house, Han Lingcui hung up the phone, his face pale.
The person on the phone said that Xuanyuan Qing's people appeared near the villa, acting suspiciously, as if they were asking about something.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Hanxing came over with a cup of hot milk and handed it to her, “You look so ugly.”
Han Lingcui took the milk, her fingertips were cold.
"Han Xing, Xuanyuan Qing's people are here. He must know something, otherwise he wouldn't have suddenly set his sights on this place."
Shen Hanxing frowned: "How could he know?"
Xuanyuan Pavilion was called back to the old house for a meeting today. Something must have gone wrong there.
"Could it be that he... already knows Xunxun's identity?"
"Probably not."
Shen Hanxing held her hand and tried to comfort her.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion is so smart that even if they were questioned, they would definitely find an excuse to cover it up. Besides, Xuanyuan Pavilion doesn't know the truth of this matter either."
"Xuanyuan Qing is at most suspicious, but there is no substantial evidence yet."
Having said that, Han Lingcui's heart sank to the bottom.
The people of the Xuanyuan family are all like hungry wolves, and they will pounce at the slightest smell of blood.
Xuanyuan Qing is notoriously sinister and cunning. When Xuanyuan Pavilion was forced to accept the marriage, it was his shadow that fanned the flames behind the scenes.
"I'm worried he'll find out about you."
Han Lingcui looked at Chen Hanxing, his eyes full of guilt, "Xunxun's identity is registered under your name. What if he finds out about you..."
"Don't worry, I'm prepared."
Shen Hanxing smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"Axun and I have already cleaned up all traces. We can't find any problems in the household registration system. Even if he were to check, he would only find a bunch of fabricated 'evidence'."
She paused, her tone becoming serious.
"However, Xuanyuan Qing is best at taking advantage of loopholes, so we can't take it lightly."
"Axun has already deployed more personnel and placed secret sentries around the villa. If his men dare to get close, they will be discovered immediately."
Han Lingcui nodded, feeling a little relieved.
"By the way, is Xunxun asleep?" She looked towards the bedroom.
"Just coaxed him to sleep, he slept soundly with his dinosaur stuffed animal."
When Shen Hanxing mentioned Xunxun, her tone softened, "She was just talking in her sleep, shouting for strawberry cake."
Han Lingcui couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth, but tears welled up in her eyes.
The cuter Xunxun was, the more she feared losing him. The scene of standing in the snow all night was her eternal nightmare, and she would never let Xunxun repeat the same mistake.
"Han Xing, tell me...does Xuanyuan Pavilion really know about this?"
Han Lingcui asked in a low voice, his voice trembling, "When he mentioned Xunxun today, his eyes were very strange, as if he was confirming something. And just now, I kept feeling like someone was watching outside..."
Shen Hanxing was silent for a moment, then patted her back gently.
"It doesn't matter even if he knows."
"We've been preparing for this for so long, haven't we? Xunxun is your son, no one can take him away. We can't let the child get involved in the Xuanyuan family's mess."
Han Lingcui sniffed and wiped away her tears.
"I know. It's just... I didn't expect this day to come so soon. I thought we could keep it a secret for a few more years, and when Xunxun grows up a little, we'll leave here and go to a place where no one knows us."
"That day will come."
Shen Hanxing held her hand.
"But now, we have to hold on first. Mo Xun and I will keep an eye on Xuanyuan Qing."
"Here at Xuanyuan Pavilion...be careful. He's a man who can't change his mind. I'm afraid he'll use extreme means to force you."
Han Lingcui nodded, but her heart was in turmoil.
She knew Xuanyuan Pavilion. Once he confirmed that Xunxun was his son, he would never give up.
But she never wanted to touch the shackles of the Xuanyuan family again in her life, and she didn't want her son to repeat the same mistakes.
She walked to the window and looked at the rain outside. The white steam from the hot spring filled the night sky, like a thin layer of gauze, but it could not cover up the turbulent undercurrent underneath.
She knew that a storm was approaching and she had to stand in the front to protect her sleeping son behind her.
"Xunxun, Mommy won't let anyone hurt you." She whispered out the window, her voice firm as iron.
In the archive room of the old house, Xuanyuan was flipping through the yellowed documents, his face becoming increasingly ugly.
"How is that possible? Nothing?"
He threw the documents on the table and yelled at the private detective in front of him.
"You can't find any clues about Su Ling's whereabouts before she disappeared, who she contacted, and where she lived?"
The detective shrank back in fear and hurried to explain.
"Second Young Master, it's not that I wasn't careful, it's that the people who investigated this case back then were too 'clean'."
"All available clues have been processed. Entry and exit records, bank statements, and even social media have been cleared. It's as if someone deliberately erased any trace of Su Ling's existence."
"Was it erased intentionally?" Xuanyuan Qing narrowed his eyes. "Was it Xuanyuan Pavilion who did it?"
"Very likely."
The detective nodded. "Back then, Xuanyuan Pavilion was the most opposed to the marriage. After Su Ling disappeared, he was the first to hire a private detective to investigate, but he suddenly stopped the investigation after half a month and destroyed all the investigation materials."
Xuanyuan Qing tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.
What was Xuanyuan Pavilion trying to cover up by destroying the data?
To cover up the fact that he forced Su Ling away?
Or is it to cover up the truth that Su Ling is pregnant?
"What about the child?" He looked up suddenly. "Was Su Ling pregnant when she disappeared? Have you found any hospital records?"
"We checked," the detective shook his head. "We checked all the pregnancy examination records of all hospitals that year, and Su Ling's name was not on the list. But..." He paused and hesitated.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion has been in close contact with a woman named Han Lingcui. I think something is amiss."
"Han Lingcui?" Xuanyuan Qing frowned. The name sounded familiar. "Who is she?"
"A designer from the Qi Group."
"I used to be a person with no sense of existence."
"Now, for some reason, Xuanyuan Pavilion often goes to see her. You know, Xuanyuan Pavilion is not someone who does things without purpose."
A thought suddenly flashed through Xuanyuan Qing's mind, a thought that made him more excited than Su Ling giving birth to a child.
He stood up suddenly, his eyes shining frighteningly.
"Hot Spring Villa! Chen Hanxing! Go investigate the relationship between Chen Hanxing and Han Lingcui, and then investigate the child named 'Xunxun' under Chen Hanxing's name! Quick!"
The detective was startled by his sudden excitement and quickly responded, "Yes, Second Master, I'll check it out right away!"
After the detective left, Xuanyuan Qing paced back and forth in the archives room, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
All the clues found together point not to Su Ling, but to Han Lingcui!
The "son" that Xuanyuan Pavilion was talking about was actually Han Lingcui's son!
He deliberately used Su Ling as a cover to conceal the child's true identity!
"Xuanyuan Pavilion, you're really good at hiding it!"
Now he even roughly guessed that Su Ling and Han Lingcui might be the same person!
Xuanyuan Qing sneered, the greed in his eyes almost overflowing.
An illegitimate child is already taboo enough for the family, and he is born to the ex-girlfriend. If the old man knew about this, Xuanyuan Pavilion would definitely be deprived of the right of inheritance!
He took out his phone and dialed a number: "Prepare the car, bring enough people, and go to the hot spring villa! This time, I will make Xuanyuan Pavilion completely unable to recover!"
After hanging up the phone, he picked up the documents on the table and threw them to the ground.
Xuanyuan Pavilion, your death is coming!
