Xu Qingyun pursed her pink lips, looking at Ji Hanchen and waiting for his answer.
Ji Hanchen took out his phone, found a video, and sat closer to Xu Qingyun before opening it.
Xu Qingyun was taken aback, "Ye An?!"
Ye An went to see Ji Yaxuan?!
Although the video was taken at night and the light was too dim to be very clear, it is still possible to confirm that it is Ye An and Ji Yaxuan.
A cold glint flashed in Xu Qingyun's eyes, "Was it before Ye An's accident?!"
Ji Hanchen nodded, "Although it was only a few seconds, judging from the time frame, it was before Ye An's accident."
Upon hearing Ji Hanchen's words, Xu Qingyun asked in a deep voice, "You suspect that Ji Yaxuan killed Ye An?"
Ji Hanchen narrowed his dark eyes. "Hmm."
Xu Qingyun's brow furrowed deeply. "Then what was the motive? Why did Ji Yaxuan kill Ye An?"
"Because of that medicine," Ji Hanchen guessed.
Xu Qingyun's breath hitched, and she immediately thought of the medicine Ye An had given her.
For two years, almost without interruption, every time she asked, Ye An would say, "Xiao Yun, don't ask too much. Just remember that your uncle is doing this for your own good."
Thinking of her own body, Xu Qingyun felt her hands and feet turn cold, and her lips turned completely pale. "What exactly does that medicine do? I... can't have sex with you?"
Ji Hanchen's pupils dilated, and his heart clenched instantly.
Yunyun is so smart! Even without being told, she guessed it!
Seeing the tense expression on Ji Hanchen's face, Xu Qingyun knew that she had guessed correctly!
She felt as if she had been pushed into an ice cellar. She never imagined that there was such a vicious drug in the world, let alone that she had been taking it for two years!
No wonder she was in so much pain!
After a long silence, Xu Qingyun grabbed Ji Hanchen's hand. "Does Ji Yaxuan want me to never be able to fall in love and to suffer for the rest of my life?! He hates my mother, and not only did he take revenge on her, he wants to make me suffer even more!"
"Ji Hanchen, what kind of person is she?! How can anyone in the world be so evil?!"
Xu Qingyun rarely displays such intense emotions; she wouldn't act this way unless she was truly furious and filled with extreme hatred.
Ji Hanchen struggled to breathe and was speechless!
He didn't know how to answer; his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and he couldn't make a sound.
He wanted to know more than anyone else why his once gentle, kind, and forgiving aunt had become a ruthless, vicious, and venomous woman!
If he hadn't been having Shen Luo investigate Ye An and discovered that Ye An had actually met Ji Yaxuan before his death, he would never have believed that Ye An was also related to Ji Yaxuan!
Ji Yaxuan has already ruined Ye Jianjia, so why is she treating Yunyun like this?! What kind of deep-seated hatred could drive Ji Yaxuan to such a deranged state?!
A deathly silence fell over the office.
Neither Xu Qingyun nor Ji Hanchen spoke.
After an unknown amount of time, Huo Yan pushed open the office door from the outside.
"Since I've heard you two are silent, I think it's about time I got to say it."
Huo Yan closed the door, walked over, and sat down on the single sofa.
He looked intently at Xu Qingyun, "Xiaoyun, I'm your brother, your own brother."
Huo Yan's eyes were already red when he said those words.
Since arriving in Nancheng, he had wanted to say those words countless times, but for the sake of his father's plans, he could not act impulsively and had to endure it.
But now that Ji Hanchen has found out about Ji Yaxuan, he has nothing left to hide.
Xu Qingyun felt as if a storm was raging in her heart, and tears welled up involuntarily.
She knew that Huo Yan was her older brother and Huo Xize was her biological father; her intuition was correct.
"elder brother……"
With a choked sob, Xu Qingyun completely lost control of her tears.
Huo Yan hugged his sister, and the two siblings embraced and wept bitterly.
Ji Hanchen watched from the side, feeling as if someone was stabbing his heart with a knife, one cut at a time.
If it weren't for Ji Yaxuan, what would Huo Yan and Yunyun be like?!
"Don't cry, don't cry. It breaks my heart when you cry."
Huo Yan's eyes were red from crying, and he quickly wiped away his tears.
Now is not the time for tears and sobs.
Now that his younger sister already knew about Ji Yaxuan, he still had many things to tell her the truth.
Huo Yan quickly pulled out a tissue and gently wiped away Xu Qingyun's tears.
Xu Qingyun composed herself, her eyes flashing coldly, "Why didn't you acknowledge me before?!"
Huo Yan's expression turned serious. "Neither Dad nor I can be exposed in front of Ji Yaxuan, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble."
Xu Qingyun's voice was filled with murderous intent, "Why are you all so afraid of her?!"
Huo Yan shook his head, "It's not that we're afraid of her, but we don't have any evidence right now. Xiao Yun, Ji Yaxuan is very careful in her actions and hasn't left any evidence."
"Ye An's death only proves that they saw her, but it doesn't prove that Ye An's death was related to her. Moreover, Ye An has already been cremated, so there's no way to verify the facts."
"There is no evidence to support our mother's claims, and since Grandpa trusts and values her a lot, it won't be easy to touch her."
"in addition……"
Huo Yan paused at this point, seemingly having some concerns.
Xu Qingyun naturally thought of Ji Hanchen. After all, Ji Yaxuan was Ji Hanchen's aunt, the person who had treated him the best and given him warmth.
However, Ji Hanchen's gaze was intense. "Don't worry about me. Do whatever you want. Ji Yaxuan brought this upon herself, and she should bear the consequences."
Huo Yan shook his head at this moment, "It's not because of Ji Hanchen, but because Ji Yaxuan holds my sister's life in her hands."
