It was eerily quiet in the room.
Everyone didn't know where to start in front of the big boss Dongfang Han.
Looking at the somewhat embarrassed younger generation in front of him, Dongfang Han said straight to the point without beating around the bush: "The Helian family has been pestering us for so many years, and it's probably not just because he was expelled from the imperial capital."
Everyone looked at Dongfang Han who was speaking with confusion.
"Today, I still have some concerns in front of the two old people. The doctor mentioned that Helian Rui had been forcing his daughter to give birth to a granddaughter.
The reason for the granddaughter was that Helian Rui had been searching for treasure for years. The doctor learned from their conversation that the Hermit Family had a mission in the imperial capital. They were to guard a treasure buried beneath a mountain for generations, but only the daughters of the Hermit Family or those of an aristocratic family could find the entrance and enter safely. Furthermore, the girl the doctor overheard was taken home and adopted by Helian Rui for this very reason.
After hearing this, Fu Linxiao turned his gaze to Jiang Luoning; "This also explains why they have been targeting the little girl!"
"Well, this is also the reason why we attacked Aunt Wan'er back then!" Jiang Linghao continued.
Han Tianyu retorted, "That's not right! The Hermit Family's mission isn't to protect any treasure! My grandfather specifically sent everyone away and called my father and me over to tell us that before he died."
When everyone heard different words, they all turned their attention to Han Tianyu.
"I think Mr. Dongfang should know more. It's just that he didn't have the chance to tell you!"
Han Tianyu looked at the father and son of the Dongfang family meaningfully and continued his story.
"Before Grandfather died, he mentioned that the Hermit Family came here to provide relief to the victims. They were supposed to return to report after the disaster, but the eldest princess who led them unfortunately passed away here due to illness. Due to the long journey, they couldn't bring back her body, so they had to be buried in the imperial capital. The three ancestors of the Hermit Family had been with the eldest princess since childhood, and they didn't want to go back without her, so they decided to stay together. Since then, the imperial capital has flourished under the joint leadership of the three. The three ancestors have also started families and careers. As the family grew, the three major families of the imperial capital were established. As the imperial capital gradually stabilized, the Hermit Family gradually faded from the public eye, but their mission remained the same: to protect the eldest princess! To protect the imperial capital that the eldest princess saved with her life!"
Fu Linxiao didn't raise any objections to the different versions, but only asked a question that puzzled everyone: "Then where was the eldest princess buried?"
Han Tianyu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. "I asked Grandpa about this before, and he said it didn't matter where she was. All we had to do was protect the capital, and that meant protecting the eldest princess!"
"Do you think the treasure Helian Natang mentioned is the eldest princess's tomb?" Jiang Luoning, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up and expressed his opinion.
When everyone heard the speculation, they all nodded and showed expressions of agreement.
"Then why did Helian Rui think that was a treasure?" Ah Xing was still full of doubts about this matter.
Fu Linxiao pondered for a moment and tentatively expressed his thoughts: "Maybe Helian Natang said this on purpose! Before he died, he told Helian Rui this so-called secret to arouse his greedy desires, just to avenge being expelled from the imperial capital!"
Silence returned to the room again.
Jiang Linghao suddenly remembered what his father had just said on the phone in the car. He glanced at his uncle on the sofa opposite him a little awkwardly, and was considering whether he should say it out loud. Dongfang Han noticed his gaze and his desire to hide something, and called out his name.
"Jiang Linghao! If you have anything to say, just say it. Now is not the time to hide anything!"
Everyone then turned their attention to Jiang Linghao. They all noticed his abnormality, but did not ask any questions. They were all waiting for him to speak first.
"My father just called. He and Grandpa both have suspicions about my uncle's involvement in the riot and my mother's mental illness! They suspect it's related to the Helian family!"
Mustering up his courage, Jiang Linghao finally spoke out about this matter and looked at Dongfang Han worriedly.
The man stood up suddenly after hearing this, and he was obviously extremely angry.
The fact that the Dongfang family had twins was never made public back then. The reason for not making it public was because there were problems within the family. If the internal problems were also related to Helian Rui, it would be really terrifying to think about it.
He had been searching for his family for almost 30 years, and his brother had died tragically! If the truth is really as he speculated, the consequences can be imagined!
The Helian family! Helian Rui! Really great!
Dongfang Han tried hard to suppress the murderous intent in his eyes, then looked at the silent Fu Linxiao and the shocked Jiang Linghao: "Linxiao, Linghao, I know your influence in the imperial capital, so my uncle hopes you can help me find out about this matter! The people from Black Mountain are at your disposal!"
Hearing the man in front of him speak in a deep voice, Fu Linxiao did not immediately respond. Even though the man said he would investigate it thoroughly, Dongfang Han obviously wanted to get involved in this matter, so he hesitated. He knew what the little girl cared about, and he didn't want to drag them into this silent confrontation.
"Uncle, even if you didn't tell Lin Xiao and the others, they would have investigated. But we don't want to involve you in this matter anymore. Now Helian Rui is hiding in the dark, and we are in the light. This situation is not very favorable for us."
Jiang Luoning saw what Fu Linxiao was thinking and said it clearly.
"Silly girl, it's not related to anything! Just like Tianyu said just now, this is the mission of the Hermit Family, isn't it? And don't underestimate your uncle!"
Although his tone was light, everyone understood the meaning behind his words. Dongfang Han would not turn a blind eye to matters concerning the Helian family.
Ah Xing, who had been silent for a long time, attracted everyone's attention with his proposal at this time.
"Why can't we take the initiative? Now that we're back, why can't we openly tell everyone that the Hermit Family has returned? Then Helian Rui will definitely take action. If we continue to be passive like this, we'll really be led by him by the nose!"
Ah Xing's words caused everyone to ponder. Everything that happened during this period was indeed as Ah Xing said. As for whether to make the return of the Hermit Family public, no one present had a say. They still had to discuss it with Old Man Chu, so this proposal was put aside.
But no one would have thought that on the night the conversation ended, Dongfang Han knelt down and begged the old man to give him power in the Dongfang family. He had made up his mind to take the initiative.
