Chapter 278 Emotions and Guilt



That person just now was sent by Yinghuo to inform Han Mingzhi.

Actually, Yinghuo had already told Han Mingzhi the key points about the hospital beforehand, since he was a man of few words.

"Tell me how Chu Wei died, and what happened." Han Mingzhi was very interested and didn't mind hearing it again.

However, Yinghuo wasn't the kind of person who made wild and unfounded claims. He was straightforward and simple in his explanations, but he concealed Hongjiao's appearance, as if she had never appeared at all. After all, even Chu Ruolin, who was accompanying her, didn't know that she had come.

So after he finished speaking, Han Mingzhi lost most of his interest.

"Alright!" Han Mingzhi sighed, still not giving up, and pressed on, "Qin Yiheng and his group haven't made any moves?"

"No." Yinghuo lied without even blinking.

Whether it was due to fixed ideas or preconceived notions, Han Mingzhi always felt that Yinghuo had the ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood, so he would not lie.

Even though he thought it was unlikely, given Qin Yiheng's personality, how could he let Chu Wei stay in the hospital like that without even asking him anything? But he also didn't have any evidence.

Qin Yiheng's thinking was different from that of ordinary people, so it was hard to say that he had already guessed in his heart, so there was no need to look at anything else. Han Mingzhi could only choose to believe Yinghuo.

Thinking of Qin Yiheng, Han Mingzhi couldn't help but recall the time when Han Mingliang gave the live streaming platform to Jiang Yan.

He hasn't settled accounts with Han Mingliang yet.

"Alright, Yinghuo, now that Chu Wei is dead, you don't need to keep watching. Go and do other things for me."

Han Mingzhi instructed, "Han Mingliang has been quite well-behaved lately, but I'm still not entirely at ease with him. The reason we couldn't bring him back before was because you were defeated by Qin Yiheng and his group. So, I'm giving you another chance to redeem yourself."

A fleeting hint of reluctance flashed across Yinghuo's eyes.

Since Han Mingliang has already cooperated with Qin Yiheng, it's hard to say whether Qin Yiheng has already sent people to protect him and his mother. If I go there, will I become Qin Yiheng's enemy?

He didn't want that.

Qin Yiheng also knows the art of truth-telling, which is very valuable to Yinghuo. Moreover, Qin Yiheng even had Hongjiao come to him to ask him about it.

However, just like when he asked Hongjiao to pass on a message to Qin Yiheng, he suddenly hesitated. He didn't know how to deal with Han Mingzhi, after all, Han Mingzhi had been a benefactor to him.

He has been supported by the Han family all these years to get to where he is today. He cannot simply abandon the Han family, nor can he directly betray Han Mingzhi.

Therefore, Yinghuo is in a dilemma.

He would feel guilty if he obeyed Han Mingzhi's orders, but he would also feel remorseful if he disobeyed them.

Finally, he replied, "Yes."

"You're not willing?" Han Mingzhi didn't see his eyes, but he sensed his hesitation.

"No." Yinghuo answered quickly this time.

Han Mingzhi didn't say anything more, but kept looking at Yinghuo, as if he felt that Yinghuo was indeed a little different today than usual. He wanted to see something from Yinghuo's expression, but unfortunately, he still failed in the end.

"Yinghuo, how many years have you been with the Han family?" Han Mingzhi suddenly asked.

Memorizing time is not a difficult task for experts; they can be precise down to the minute and second.

"Five years, ten months, and seven days," Yinghuo answered honestly.

"Ah..." Han Mingzhi sighed, looking up at the sky. He murmured softly, whether to himself or to Mars, "It's been almost six years. Whatever it is, there should be deep feelings by now..."

Is this a reminder to myself not to forget to sever ties with those I'm emotionally attached to?

"You agree, right? Yinghuo?" Han Mingzhi suddenly turned his head and asked, his eyes shining brightly with shrewdness.

Yinghuo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly knelt on one knee and expressed her determination to Han Mingzhi: "What the Second Young Master said is right. Yinghuo has never forgotten the kindness the Han family has shown her, nor has she forgotten the great kindness the Second Young Master has shown her."

That's absolutely true. If Han Mingzhi hadn't singled him out and kept him by his side, he would still be like those other experts in the Han family, studying on his own every day and reinventing the wheel.

How could she possibly know Qin Yiheng, let alone know anything deeper? This led her to vaguely have plans for what would happen next.

But I can't tell Han Mingzhi about these things.

Han Mingzhi was very happy. He felt that perhaps he was overthinking things. How could Yinghuo have any disloyal intentions? Where was he going after leaving the Han family?

He immediately stepped forward to help Yinghuo up: "What are you doing? Get up! I know you are a sentimental person, but I was just saying it to express my feelings. You took it seriously."

Yinghuo remained silent; he was not good with words to begin with, and Han Mingzhi had no intention of waiting for him to continue.

"Chu Wei is dead now, but the Han family's affairs are not yet settled. Yinghuo, you'll have to work hard during this time. Once everything settles down, the Second Young Master will not treat you unfairly."

Han Mingzhi is good at making grand promises, but when it comes to Yinghuo, there's no need to make it so clear.

"Yes," Yinghuo replied.

As for feelings, that's enough. Han Mingzhi gave some more instructions about Han Mingliang, and then let Yinghuo leave.

As Yinghuo stepped out of Han Mingzhi's villa, he vanished in a flash, but his fist remained clenched. Many things are difficult to have both ways, and he would eventually have to make a choice.

It's not entirely clear what Qin Yiheng thinks of him yet, but he's already harboring thoughts of harming Han Mingzhi, which is really inappropriate.

Yinghuo was filled with guilt.

Fortunately, matters concerning Han Mingliang did not require him to put too much thought into them; he only needed to step in at crucial moments. Therefore, he still had the energy to spare for Qin Yiheng.

Han Mingzhi was also filled with mixed feelings. He had just finished testing Yinghuo and could relax a little, but there were still so many people in the Han family.

Recently, Han Mingming and Han Mingmei haven't made any moves, but this inaction has made him uneasy.

In comparison, although the Chu family is also on high alert and facing a formidable enemy, they are in a very positive and proactive manner.

Chu Wei's death, aside from other aspects, had a significant deterrent effect on the Chu family.

Chu Linghuang personally summoned everyone and held a rare all-member meeting of the Chu family.

Inside the villa during the summer vacation, everyone sat upright, because they knew what this meeting represented.
