Chapter 85: Attempted murder is a crime

"My sister-in-law is alive and well. The kid was just possessed by a devil and did something wrong. You are too ruthless. How will outsiders view our Yan family? My father is old and he still has to be criticized." Yan Tong just wanted to take this opportunity to criticize Yan Han and even brought up his grandfather.

The old man listened expressionlessly without interrupting.

Hearing Yan Han's uncontrollable anger, Pei Lang felt the air pressure around him drop. He squeezed Yan Han's palm to comfort him, but it seemed to be of no use.

Yan Han sat down, and Yan Tong stood up. The confrontation between the shrewd, ruthless elder brother and the mature, strong, indifferent and protective younger brother was fierce. Neither of them would give in.

"Brother, do you mean that attempted murder is not a crime?" Yan Han's eyes were like knives, fixed on Yan Xiuyuan. Yan Xiuyuan, who had his head buried, felt the gaze and stiffened his body, trying to reduce his presence.

"Yan Xiuyuan!" Yan Han shouted.

When Yan Xiuyuan was called, he shuddered and raised his head in fear. "Uncle...Uncle."

Yan Tong had never seen his son so sad before, and he was so angry that he almost went to teach him a lesson.

"Do you think attempted murder is a crime?" The hidden meaning of this statement is not only that Pei Ziqing murdered Pei Lang, but also that Yan Xiuyuan murdered Yan Han. As one of the murderers, Yan Xiuyuan was named and frightened, thinking that Yan Han was going to make his crime public.

His throat felt as if it was blocked by a razor blade, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

He tried to open his mouth and speak so that his voice would not sound so suspicious. Yan Han did not urge him but waited for his answer.

Finally, Yan Xiuyuan answered stutteringly. "It's...it's a crime."

As soon as he finished speaking, his face turned pale, and he looked as if he was disheartened. Yan Tong just thought that he loved Pei Ziqing terribly and was sad for Pei Ziqing, and didn't think much about it.

Yan Han smiled and curled his lips. "Very good, then..."

"Uncle!" Yan Xiuyuan suddenly shouted, interrupting Yan Han's next words. "Ziqing did something wrong and should be punished for his crime. I don't think there is anything wrong with the way your uncle handled it. I'm here to apologize to you and Xiaolang...uncle on behalf of Ziqing."

Yan Xiuyuan's voice broke through the obstruction. He spoke loudly with a trembling throat and finished speaking in one breath.

"What are you talking about? You rebellious son!" Yan Tong was so angry that he slapped Yan Xiuyuan in the face.

It's embarrassing enough to be embarrassed outside, it's also so embarrassing in front of Yan Han. How could he give birth to such a troublesome and useless son? What kind of wife did he find? She doesn't think before doing anything, making him unable to hold his head up in front of outsiders.

Yan Xiuyuan's pale face turned blood red in an instant because of the slap, but he did not regret it at all. Instead, he cast a frightened and pleading look at Yan Han.

Pei Ziqing's incident angered Yan Han. What Yan Han said just now was also a warning to Yan Xiuyuan that he had evidence that Yan Xiuyuan murdered his uncle. If Yan Xiuyuan did not do something and the matter was exposed, Yan Tong would not only lose face completely, but he might also be punished by his grandfather.

Grandpa doted on this uncle so much, Yan Xiuyuan had no chance of winning in this matter. So he could only take the initiative and beg for forgiveness, even though he disappointed his father and was beaten and scolded by his father.

"Brother, do you have anything else to say?" Yan Han stopped looking at Yan Xiuyuan and turned to ask Yan Tong.

Having escaped a disaster, Yan Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to reduce his presence.

Yan Xiuyuan had already acknowledged Pei Ziqing's husband, so he couldn't do anything even if he was very dissatisfied. Yan Tong was so angry that his face turned blue. "You really don't consider yourself a member of the Yan family. You don't care about the reputation of the Yan family. What else can I say?"

"Brother, you don't seem to consider me as one of your own. The Yan family's reputation was caused by you choosing the wrong person. Langlang is the victim. Don't you think that victims should keep their mouths shut and endure in silence?" Yan Han grew up and endured everything they did to him in silence. He just tried to become strong enough that they couldn't afford to offend him.

It's not that he cherishes this family relationship, but he just doesn't want to embarrass his father, the only person who loves him. Now the target of their harm has become Pei Lang, and that is his bottom line, which cannot be touched.

That's why when he fights back, it makes people feel heartless.

Yan Han's words were full of hidden meanings. Yan Tong and Yan Xiuyuan both looked unhappy. At this time, the old man spoke.

"Xiuyuan, Pei Ziqing is the person you were so excited about marrying, and that's a fact. You mistook the wrong person for causing such a thing, so how can you blame your uncle and the others?" The old man is old, but he is not blind or confused.

"Grandpa, it's my fault. I admit it." Yan Xiuyuan understood the current situation very well. He took the initiative to walk up to the old man and bowed his head to admit his mistake with a very good attitude. He was afraid that his attitude of admitting his mistake would be unpleasant and make Yan Han angry.

"It's good that you admit your mistakes." The old man was quite satisfied with the attitude of admitting mistakes, and turned to look at his eldest son Yan Tong. "Xiuyuan has always been under your discipline. It's the father's fault if the son is not well educated. It's okay for him to like playing, but how can you have such a poor eye for people? I heard that the company has had many loopholes recently. I hope you can reflect on the education issues and take Xiuyuan to learn management instead of wasting your time on useless things."

Elders are elders, and their words carry weight. Yan Tong was not convinced, but he still had to bow and accept the education. "My father taught me right."

The old man was obviously protecting Yan Han. Yan Tong's teeth were almost broken, but he had to admit that it was indeed the fault of his rebellious son. If he hadn't provoked Pei Ziqing, and if they hadn't deliberately publicized their relationship on the Internet, this incident wouldn't have attracted so much attention and embarrassed so many people.

They didn't come here to have dinner in the first place. After being reprimanded, Yan Tong left with his good-for-nothing son. Before leaving, he glared at Yan Han angrily, thinking that the fact that they were holding hands all the time was very annoying.

The two men finally left, and Yan Han and Pei Lang stayed for dinner.

Those who left were in a bad mood and couldn't eat, but they were different. Yan Han got out of the wheelchair and sat at the dining table with Pei Lang. The old man sitting opposite him sighed, feeling sorry for the two of them but also very happy that they trusted and loved each other.

They didn't stay overnight. They had dinner, chatted for a while and then left.

It was already late when they returned, and the damp chill of late autumn hit. Pei Lang couldn't help but wrap himself up tightly. "Yan Xiuyuan's behavior was strange tonight. Are you hiding something from me?"

Yan Xiuyuan had always been arrogant and didn't take Yan Han seriously, but today, with his father supporting him, he acted like a sick cat in front of Yan Han and took the initiative to admit his mistakes. Pei Lang had never expected this.

Pei Lang didn't say a word during this time, but he took in the reactions of the people present. Yan Xiuyuan's fear of Yan Han and his eagerness to admit his mistakes made him suspicious.

Yan Han threw the wheelchair aside after getting in the car. The road from the old house was quite cold. After getting in the car, he hugged Pei Lang in his arms to keep each other warm. Yan Han was tired and silent. Pei Lang stopped asking questions and quietly nestled in Yan Han's arms. Su Jia drove in front, and the three of them were silent all the way.

Back at the villa, Yan Han took Pei Lang upstairs and explained. "I found out that he was the one who planned the car accident a few years ago. I was lucky enough to escape, but my legs have lost their ability to move."

"You mean... Yan Xiuyuan tried to murder you!?" Pei Lang was not unconvinced, he was just shocked.

"Well, I talked to him. He was worried that I would tell the truth, so he was afraid of me." Yan Han's mood could not be seen, but Pei Lang felt extremely distressed.

In the original novel, Yan Han's leg was injured for Bai Yueguang. Although he has not seen the legendary Bai Yueguang, he does not want to have any hidden secrets. As the male protagonist, Yan Xiuyuan's character collapses, but he is actually a criminal. How much hatred does he have to kill his own uncle? After the plan failed, he can still laugh at the other party's disability as if nothing happened.

He originally thought that Yan Xiuyuan was just a madman whose personality collapsed, but now it seems that he is simply a brainless and mischievous villain who still has a lucky mentality after the truth is exposed.

"You must have felt very sad when you found out the truth." Pei Lang had never experienced the feeling of being hurt by a loved one, and Pei Ziqing was not one of them at all, so he could not empathize with them. What was certain was that it was not pleasant for anyone to feel when such a thing happened.

Even though Yan Han didn't like his nephew in his heart, and even though he knew from the beginning that the other party didn't treat him as a family member, the fact was that they were family.

This kind of thing is cruel to outsiders, let alone to Yan Han, who is related by blood.

"It's sad, but it's a blessing in disguise." The incident has passed, his legs have healed, and God has given him a lover. "If I hadn't been disabled, you wouldn't have come to my house. This is a blessing in disguise."

Yan Han was comforting himself by thinking from a different perspective. If he didn't even have this little realization, how painful it would be to recall the past.

"Who said that? As long as we are destined to meet, we will meet one day." Pei Lang didn't think so. He explained with a smile. "If there hadn't been that car accident, we would have met, maybe in a mall, maybe in a hotel, or maybe at an event. But no matter how we met, since it has happened, let it go. We still have a long future to look forward to. I will accompany you all the way."

As he spoke, he gave Yan Han a big hug and patted Yan Han's back soothingly. Compared with Yan Han, his slightly petite figure gave people a sense of infinite strength.

With him, the darkness behind disappears and the road ahead becomes bright and shining.

"Thank you, Langlang." Successfully comforted, Yan Han sat down holding the person.

"What are you going to do with Yan Xiuyuan?" Murder is no small matter.

"He's still quite obedient at the moment. What do you think I should do?" Yan Han asked Pei Lang. He wanted to hear Pei Lang's thoughts, although he had already made up his mind.

Pei Lang thought seriously, seeing Yan Xiuyuan's frightened look tonight, and he hadn't done anything naughty recently, it seemed that he was extremely scared. As Yan Tong's son, it was not a problem for him to live a glorious life without committing suicide, but if he ruined everything because of murder, it would be more painful than death.

"Since this matter can make him obedient, we can keep him alive in fear for now, and then make plans when he becomes disobedient." Pei Lang had the same idea as Yan Han.

When he was a child, he bullied Yan Han, but now the situation is reversed. With this handle on Yan Xiuyuan, he dares not to do anything naughty. He wants to use all his skills to please his uncle, so that he can have a chance to survive.

Isn't this a form of torture and punishment? The most important thing is that Yan Han's father is old and can't stand the mental destruction. If the old man knew about this, he would probably be so angry that he would die.

As the only blood relative Yan Han cared about, Pei Lang and Yan Han didn't want anything to happen to him.

"Just as I thought."

"Of course, we are of one mind."
