Yan Yi raised her hand slightly and held his hand in hers. She looked at Qi Tan eagerly, "You don't want to fall into their trap, do you?"
Qi Tan patted her hand, then held it in his hand, pulled the chair next to him over, and sat down, his hand still holding Yan Yi's.
He smiled gently and said, "I never wanted to fall into anyone's trap, but things have developed to the point where they are no longer under my control."
Yan Yi?: "Who is the person behind you? Can you tell me?"
Qi Tan: "Actually, I don't know either."
Yan Yi?: "If you don't know, why would you risk your life for him?"
Qi Tan: "The incident with the third man has caused a lot of uproar. I'm afraid that Han Jue will follow the clues and investigate carefully. If you are found out at that time, it will be even more difficult to deal with. I was also very anxious and hesitated between leaving or not. That person sent someone to find me and said that he could help me suppress the matter and give me a decent reason to leave the imperial capital. After I return to Dongjiang, he can still provide me with help so that I can continue to work in Dongjiang. Although I am reluctant to leave the achievements of the imperial capital, I don't want you to be found out. The person sent also told me that the imperial capital is the territory of the Han family, including Han Jue. I will not get any benefits if I stay in the imperial capital, but will suffer losses, so I left."
This was a helpless move, but it was also another strong evidence that he realized how important family background is.
Yan Yi asked: "Who is the person sent?"
Qi Tan: "His name is Li Zhengqin. I don't keep in touch with him on a regular basis. We've only had dinner together a few times at Xiangtan Garden. He didn't tell me what to do specifically. He just said that it was enough for me to know which two people I had to deal with."
Yan Yi asked: "Which two people?"
Qi Tan: "Han Chen and Han Chi."
Zhou Mo: "Sure enough."
Qi Tan looked back and said, "I sabotaged Han Chen's promotion, firstly for Duan Feng, and secondly... my target was Han Chen."
Zhou Mo: "Why did the people behind you go after Han Chen? Is it because of the Han family?"
Qi Tan: "Li Zhengqin didn't say anything, he just said that if I help him accomplish this, I can make further progress in Dongjiang."
Zhou Mo: "Then his target is definitely the Han family."
Qi Tan: "That's easy to understand. Han Chi and Han Chen are the only two Han brothers who are away from home. If we can get them into trouble, and they come home crying for help, then we can take action."
Zhou Mo: "What you mean by seeking help..."
Qi Tan: "For example - Han Chen fought with someone for you, and he used his family connections to settle the matter. This incident would become a handle because the procedures were not in compliance. Those of us who do our job know one thing: the result is not important, the compliance of the procedures is what matters most, and procedural justice is the ultimate justice. Some things can be done behind closed doors, but who can guarantee that the non-compliant procedures will not be discovered? It only takes a small violation to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and then expose the entire Han family. I don't believe that Han Chen doesn't know many things about the Han family, but who can guarantee that when he is interrogated about one thing, he won't confess to something else?"
Zhou Mo felt a chill down his spine. Han Chen had said before that he had a lot on his mind, but couldn't say it...
Qi Tan: "When I was talking to you on the phone, I realized what was going on. I was taken away for investigation, but in the end I was able to prove my innocence. I was prepared. My cooperation with Li Zhengqin was dissolved when Ren Huaibo tried to kill you. People with different ideals cannot work together. I just wanted to interfere with Han Chen's promotion, and make him go back to his family to intervene, whether it was to put pressure on Dongjiang or use some other means to transfer Han Chen. As long as the Han family dared to do it, I would dare to find them. I still have ways to find them violating the procedures. But Li Zhengqin's group didn't think so. He bypassed me and had someone call Ren Huaibo, instigating him to kill you, so that Ren Huaibo would transfer all his hatred for the Han family to you, hoping to use your death to provoke Han Chen's anger and make him go to the Han family to deal with Ren Huaibo. It goes without saying which is more serious, illegally promoting a title or interfering with the judicial process. I only want the former, while Li Zhengqin and his group want to sacrifice your life to pursue the latter."
Zhou Mo: "I understand. The Han family is in the political and legal field. If the latter happens, it will be a disaster for the Han family."
Qi Tan: "But the result was beyond Li Zhengqin and I's expectations. Ren Huaibo was sent to a mental hospital due to mental illness."
Zhou Mo: "So he turned his attention to Han Chi?"
Qi Tan: "Yes. He told me at the beginning that my two targets were Han Chi and Han Chen, but because they wanted to kill people, I didn't want to work with them, so we parted ways. They didn't force me, just said 'see you later', so they were waiting for me here. Thinking carefully, I was also tricked by them. After the commendation meeting that day, I fell from the peak to the bottom. Although I was devastated in the following days, I kept thinking about the meaning of life and the meaning of power to me. After thinking about it, I just felt that it was meaningless. I obviously don't need money or anything else, so why am I so obsessed with it? Even if I could get it, what could I do with it? Others might use it to make money, but I... there's really no need. My father set up two trust funds for me abroad. Even if I fall from grace and have nothing, I'll still be better off than the average person."
Zhou Mo: "So they know you are He Yi?..."
"He shouldn't know," Qi Tan said. "Han Jue discovered what happened between Yi Wei and me. If I remember correctly, Yi Wei and I were at a pasta restaurant and ran into Han Jue. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't panicked after seeing Han Jue from afar. Luckily, Yi Wei had her back to him that day, so I told her to just leave and not look back. Han Jue and Luo Fu were there together that day, and he was probably preoccupied with Miss Luo, so he didn't recognize Yi Wei. To test the waters and confirm if Han Jue truly didn't recognize Yi Wei, I accepted their invitation and had dinner with them. To dispel any suspicion from Yan Yi Wei, I deliberately used a photo of me and a female colleague as my phone screensaver, deliberately letting him see it and mistaking Yi Wei for that female colleague. Han Jue asked who the woman I was having dinner with was, and I said she was a friend and shared some of her information with him. Seeing Yi Wei's hasty departure, he probably became suspicious and followed my false information to investigate. It turned out that the female colleague had just gotten married."
Zhou Mo: "So Han Jue thought the person you cheated with was a female colleague?"
Qi Tan: "To be precise, it's a female colleague from the next-door unit. She pursued me before, but I rejected her. Our photo is a photo taken after work."
Yan Yi suddenly remembered, "No wonder, when I left, you lowered your head and tapped your phone screen. It turned out you were changing the screensaver."
