Chapter 198 Racing Against Time (shuhaige.net)



An hour later, the brother and sister returned to the hospital.

Han Qiang was also waiting for their news, and asked them directly as soon as they met.

The brother and sister recounted the whole story truthfully, including matters concerning the Chu family and their reasonable suspicions. Han Qiang listened with mixed feelings and a distorted expression.

"I knew things weren't that simple! How dare a lowly white-collar worker shoot my son!" Han Qiang gritted his teeth.

He believed that he had maintained a peaceful relationship with the Chu family for many years, but he never expected that someone would scheme against the Han family like this.

Who in the Chu family is it?

Old man Chu Linghuang probably wouldn't target a child.

The current head of the Chu family, Chu Xiao, is incompetent and could never have thought of so much.

That's Chu Ruoxue? Chu Ruoxue is also a strong suspect.

Everyone says that she was the one who started the falling out with Qin Yiheng, because she was worried that Qin Yiheng would pose a threat to the Chu family's control of power.

If we consider this aspect alone, it's understandable that Chu Ruoxue wanted to do something to consolidate her power.

However, Han Qiang couldn't immediately figure out why she was targeting Han Mingrui.

Or is there something else we haven't noticed?

"Dad, I heard that Chu Wei, the eldest patriarch of a collateral branch of the Chu family, seems to be associating with all sorts of people lately, and he doesn't seem to be very well-behaved..."

Han Mingmei noticed Han Qiang's confusion and wanted to say something to help him organize his thoughts.

"Chu Wei?" Han Qiang suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously.

He naturally knew who Chu Wei was.

Chu Linghuang was the head of the Chu family at the time. He temporarily abdicated and took over as the head of the family during an unexpected event. At that time, he only had one biological son, Chu Xiao. However, everyone knew that Chu Xiao was not capable enough to take on the position of family head.

There are a few outstanding members in the collateral branches, such as Chu Wei.

At that time, many people said that it was not impossible for the old man to choose a new head of the family from the collateral branches, considering the long-term development.

Even those who weren't even considered thought this way, so how could Chu Wei not think the same way?

However, to everyone's surprise, the old man bypassed the head of the family and handed over the management to his granddaughter, Chu Ruoxue.

To put it bluntly, Chu Xiao's position as the head of the family is merely nominal; he only holds the title and will soon hand it over to Chu Ruoxue, since the real power is in Chu Ruoxue's hands.

However, since she was a girl, it would be an overstepping of her rank if she were to ascend the throne directly, which would certainly not be convincing to everyone. So the old man came up with this solution.

No one said anything at the time, and Chu Wei seemed to have no objection to the arrangement, but Han Qiang felt that Chu Wei must be dissatisfied.

If it were just that Chu Xiao became the head of the family, that would be one thing, after all, he is Chu Linghuang's own son. Even if he is not capable enough, he has others to assist him. People would just think that Chu Linghuang's arrangement was unwise.

But he gave control of the company and the position of president of the Chu Group to Chu Ruoxue!

What does this mean? It means that Chu Wei is not even as good as a little girl.

But Chu Wei wasn't stupid. How could he possibly voice his dissatisfaction right after everything was arranged? That would only invite punishment from the old man.

After all these years, I don't believe Chu Wei didn't have his own plans.

so……

Han Mingmei noticed Han Qiang's thoughtful expression and gave Han Mingming a wink: "Speak."

"Dad, um..." Han Mingming stammered.

"Hmm?" Han Qiang snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Han Mingming. Seeing that he was still hesitant to speak, he couldn't help but urge him, "Say what you want to say quickly."

"That's right, Dad. My second brother has just been too busy..."

He had barely uttered a sentence when Han Qiang snorted coldly. Busy? Busy with what? Thinking about how to force him out of office?

However, Han Qiang did not interrupt Han Mingming. He continued, "So, Mingmei and I are more involved in my brother's funeral arrangements. We learned that before Shen Ru met my brother, she was with someone from the Luo family. However, he was very close to Chu Wei, the eldest patriarch of the Chu family's collateral branch."

It's Chu Wei again?

Han Qiang's eyes widened suddenly.

He is old, that's true, but he's not senile. He doesn't even need to think about many things; he can deduce most of them based on his years of experience.

Chu Wei has been frequently mentioned in this incident, but he hasn't actually shown up, which is definitely not normal.

Could Chu Wei be the mastermind behind this?

Chu Wei's desire to acquire the Chu family is very clear. Even though he hasn't shown it much, Han Qiang is confident in his assertion. So what should he do?

To instigate conflict between the Han and Chu families, and then reap the benefits?

It's not impossible.

"Since this matter involves the Chu family, it can't be baseless. You two, go and investigate thoroughly." Han Qiang didn't have time to think it over and gave the order directly.

The brother and sister quickly agreed and got up to leave.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Han Qiang suddenly remembered something and reminded them, "By the way, we must be quick, preferably before Han Mingzhi has a clear understanding of the situation."

Han Mingzhi could naturally think of what he could think of as well; now was the time to race against time...

While they were working diligently on their tasks, Qin Yiheng and his team relaxed a bit.

After Han Mingzhi and his gang dragged them away, Qin Yiheng and the others returned to the villa.

Zhou Xu asked somewhat uncertainly, "Brother Leopard, Miss Luo, Boss, do you think the Chu family, which we've only talked about a few times before, will really work? Will Han Mingrui find out the results we want?"

He admitted that he wasn't very bright, so he couldn't understand how these people could be so sure.

"Why can't we find out? I know best what I've done." Qin Yiheng didn't quite understand what Zhou Xu was worried about.

As soon as he said that, all three of them asked in unison, "What did you do?"

"Of course it's a collaboration with Chu Wei," Qin Yiheng explained, but his explanation was less helpful than saying nothing at all, leaving everyone even more confused.

"When did you start cooperating with Chu Wei?"

Luo Jinxiu had the strongest reaction. If it weren't for the fact that there were other people present, she would have asked: "Don't you have a business relationship with me?"

Qin Yiheng merely gave her a meaningful look and did not reply.

Although Luo Jinxiu cared a lot, she could also guess that this was obviously a fake cooperation. Even Qin Yiheng from the Chu family main branch didn't think much of it, so why would he think much of Chu Wei?

Moreover, as far as the current plan is concerned, there is definitely a possibility of sowing discord, but it is not the Chu family that is sowing discord between Qin Yiheng and Han Mingrui, but rather Qin Yiheng who is sowing discord between the Han family and the Chu family.

If these two families were to clash, the result would inevitably be mutual destruction, and it would be self-evident who would profit from it.
