After conducting his investigation, Han Yixian went directly to Wang Zhongquan's office and gave him what he had found out.
This time, the Su family and those behind him escaped; they were all wiped out. The Su family was utterly destroyed. But even this could not quell Han Yixian's hatred.
Looking at Han Yixian, who was radiating sadness and despair, Wang Zhongquan said with red eyes, "Yixian, I'm sorry. Du Yuhan was implicated because of our negligence. Please take care of yourself and try to accept this. Your leg isn't fully healed yet, so please be careful. You haven't had much rest these past few days, so you should go home and get some rest."
Han Yixian smiled bitterly and said, "What use is this body to me? I can't even protect the woman I love. What kind of man am I?"
Han Yixian didn't say anything more and took Liu Gang home directly. He had important matters to attend to at home.
When Han Yi entered the house, everyone was home. Even Han Xiao was there.
This was the first time Han Xiao had seen his eldest son since the incident.
His eyes welled up with tears the moment he saw his eldest son walk in.
Han Xiao knew his eldest son was ruined—not physically, but emotionally. With Du Yuhan's death, his own heart died too.
He saw only deathly stillness and coldness in his eldest son, nothing more. He showed no emotional fluctuation even when facing his father.
With tears welling up in his eyes, Han Xiao said, "Yi Xian, Dad is sorry."
Han Xiao already knew Zeng Yufen's role in Du Yuhan's death, and he had a big argument with her. However, for the sake of the Han family, he had no choice but to cover up Zeng Yufen's evil deeds, otherwise the Han family might be implicated.
Han Yixian didn't say anything, but knelt straight down in front of Han Xiao.
Han Xiao was taken aback and quickly pulled Han Yi up, saying, "What are you doing? Get up quickly."
Han Yixian pushed his father's hand away and said, "Dad, please forgive your son for being unfilial. I will not be able to fulfill my filial duties to you in the future."
Han Xiao was greatly surprised and said, "Why do you say that?"
Han Yixian said with a cold face, "I cannot live under the same roof as the person who killed my wife. Even if she is my mother, it is not acceptable."
Upon hearing this, Zeng Yufen immediately stood up, pointed at Han Yixian, and cursed, "You're going to turn against me for the sake of a woman? You unfilial son!"
Han Yixian said, "Even if you are my mother and you disagree with our marriage, you cannot kill her. Do you think others won't know what you've done? You'll stop at nothing to achieve your goals, using others to get rid of your enemy. I really can't believe you're my mother."
Han Xiao knew that his wife's actions were excessive, and he felt deeply sorry for his eldest son.
He wouldn't have let Zeng Yufen off so easily if it weren't to protect the Han family from being implicated. But Zeng Yufen was, after all, the mistress of the Han family, and if her affairs were to spread, it would be very detrimental to the Han family.
In such a tense situation, no one dares to make the slightest mistake.
Zeng Yufen listened to Han Yixian's accusations and scolded, "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you, for our Han family? Is a country bumpkin like me worth you defying your own parents?"
Han Xiao roared at his wife's words, "Shut up! You know what you've done. For your own selfish desires, you've disregarded human life and plotted to harm people. You're truly wicked!"
Do you know how much trouble this will cause the Han family if others find out about your actions? The situation is so tense right now, and you still dare to act so recklessly. If you do this again, I won't be able to protect you.”
Zeng Yufen retorted, "When did I harm anyone? Du Yuhan was killed by Su Yan's men, what does that have to do with me? Stop targeting me. I have nothing to do with this."
Han Yixian, no longer wanting to hear his mother's excuses, knelt before his father and said, "Dad, I've decided to leave Kyoto. I'll never come back to this house. From now on, please pretend I'm not your son."
Zeng Yufen was overjoyed upon hearing Han Yixian's words. If Han Yixian left the Han family, the Han family would belong to her youngest son. It would be best to sever ties between Han Yixian and the Han family, thus putting an end to the old man's hopes.
Thinking of this, she cursed, "You unfilial son! You're willing to abandon your parents and family for a woman. If you have the guts, sever all ties with the Han family and never rely on them again."
Han Xiao roared, "Shut up, Zeng Yufen! When did it become your place to be in charge of the Han family?"
Zeng Yufen said, "I am the mistress of the Han family, and his mother. Since he doesn't want to acknowledge me as his mother anymore, why should I keep him around?"
Han Yixian said calmly, "I will publicly declare that I am severing ties with the Han family. From now on, I will only be Du Yuhan's husband."
Han Yikun listened from the side, secretly pleased, but still pretended to advise, "Brother, look how angry you've made Mom. She's just a woman. If she dies, we can just find someone better. Don't say anything like that about leaving the family."
Han Yixian looked coldly at his younger brother and sneered, "Isn't it exactly what you wanted for me to sever ties with the Han family? That way you can have everything from the Han family. You don't need to pretend here. You can rest assured, I don't care about what you want, and I won't take it from you."
Han Xiao pulled Han Yixian up and said, "Yixian, I know Du Yuhan is heartbroken because of you, and your mother did something unforgivable. But you are the eldest grandson of the Han family and the most capable among the younger generation. The Han family needs you. You can't just leave like this."
With eyes full of pain, Han Yixian said, "Dad, over the years I have lived up to the expectations of the Han family and everyone else, but the only one I have wronged is Du Yuhan."
Without Du Yuhan, I wouldn't be who I am today. I will only ever have Du Yuhan as my wife; I will never marry again, nor will I have any more children. Therefore, I cannot bear the responsibility of carrying on the Han family's legacy. From now on, I will live only to atone for my sins. Dad, please forgive your unfilial son.”
After saying that, Han Yixian turned around and left the Han family's gate.
Han Yixian vowed to himself that even if he couldn't do anything to his mother now, he wouldn't let it go.
If his mother dared to hurt Du Yuhan, wasn't she trying to clear obstacles for her other sons and daughters? Then he would start with them.
Even if he leaves Kyoto, some things will not be forgotten.
My younger brother thinks that if I leave the Han family, I can get everything from the Han family. We'll see if he agrees.
He wanted to see if Han Yiping and Han Yikun could withstand the "dishes" he was serving them.
