Pei Zhen was very curious about how Han Yixian broke through the criminals' psychological defenses.
He leaned closer to Han Yixian and asked, "I tried everything I could to get him to talk, but you managed to get him to confess so quickly? Tell me, what method did you use?"
Han Yixian laughed and said, "That's because you don't have enough methods. Anyone who knows me would never want to experience my interrogation techniques. So after I said a few words, he couldn't hold on and confessed. It's a psychological battle."
Pei Zhen stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, and asked, "That's it? It's that simple?"
Han Yixian laughed and said, "What else do you want? The shadow of a tree, the name of a person—quite a few people know my name."
Pei Zhen easily obtained the information he wanted. Then he prepared to lead his men to the hideout the criminals had given him to arrest the culprits.
Han Yi gave some instructions and then went back. He was worried about leaving He Yuhan alone at home.
Han Yixian pondered over and over who the mysterious person was. He was sure that the mysterious person had a grudge against him, and he needed to think carefully about who his enemies were.
And then there's Zeng Yufen and her son, who still haven't behaved themselves. Since they're pushing their luck, he shouldn't blame him for taking drastic measures.
Han Yixian drove home quickly and was stunned by the changes in his house as soon as he entered.
He was only gone for a few hours, and the house underwent a complete transformation.
A thick quilt was laid on the kang (a heated brick bed), covered with clean and beautiful sheets. Neatly folded bedding, all of it, was also on the kang, and it was clear that it was new.
The room was also decorated with some small ornaments, which instantly gave the room a more lived-in feel.
He Yuhan saw Han Yixian return and said, "Brother Han, you're back. You can help me hang up the curtains."
Han Yixian immediately came to his senses and asked, "Yuhan, how come we suddenly have so many things? Who delivered them?"
He Yuhan said, "Who can deliver these to our house? I just brought them back."
Han Yixian widened his eyes and said, "Just the short time I was out? Didn't I tell you not to go out? What if you run into bad people?"
He Yuhan said somewhat guiltily, "I didn't go out. I just managed to contact someone to have these things delivered to me."
Han Yixian looked at He Yuhan with great suspicion. He seriously doubted whether the girl he was going to marry in the future would be a fairy.
He joked, "Yuhan, you've conjured up so many things in such a short time, are you a fairy descended from heaven?"
He Yuhan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and tentatively asked, "If I were truly a fairy descended from heaven, what would you do? Would you be too afraid to marry me?"
Han Yixian's heart tightened and he quickly said, "How could that be? If you really are a fairy in disguise, I would be more than happy to marry you. Besides, I must have saved the earth more than once to have such good fortune."
He Yuhan giggled, amused. "If that's how you see it, then I'm relieved. Don't worry, I'm just a mortal with some special abilities, not some fairy."
Okay, enough joking around. Come over here and help me hang the curtains.
Han Yixian didn't have time to think about what special ability He Yuhan was talking about, and quickly said, "I'll hang the curtains, you don't need to worry about it."
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go tidy up the kitchen. Have you bought the coal and firewood?"
Han Yixian said, "Someone will bring it over in a little while. Today I'll heat up the kang beds in a few rooms so they won't be damp when we move in."
He Yuhan said, "I've prepared all the pots, pans, kitchen utensils, and food. As long as we can start a fire, we can stay here tonight without any problem."
Han Yixian's eyes lit up and he said, "Yuhan, shall we stay here tonight?"
He Yuhan rolled her eyes at Han Yixian and said, "Who wants to live here with you? I want to go home."
Han Yixian quickly began to persuade her, "Yuhan, it would be too much trouble for you to go home. Why don't you stay here? Think about it, your house has been empty for a long time, so it must have accumulated a lot of dust. You'll have to clean and tidy it up again when you go back."
Besides, there's no stove at home, so cooking would be troublesome, as you'd have to light it. Going back home alone will definitely arouse curiosity. What will you say if someone asks? You'll have to explain. And if they ask about your father-in-law's condition, you won't know how to answer.
"Since you're staying here, no one in the compound will know you're back. It'll be convenient for us to go back to Laohewan Village early tomorrow morning, so you can stay here. You can stay in the heated kang in the east room, and I'll stay in the westmost room, okay? I definitely won't disturb your rest."
He Yuhan said, "Who said you would disturb my rest? Okay, stop listing a bunch of reasons, I'll stay here as you say, alright?"
Upon hearing that his persuasion had succeeded, Han Yixian immediately smiled and said, "That's right, I'm doing this for your own good. When the firewood arrives, I'll heat the kang (heated brick bed) for you, and light the radiator too, so the room will be warm and cozy, and I guarantee you'll sleep comfortably."
Han Yi was overjoyed to have persuaded He Yuhan, and began hanging curtains as if he were decorating his own bridal chamber.
Han Yixian quickly hung up the curtains in all the bedrooms. The rooms looked even more cozy after the beautiful curtains were hung. Han Yixian liked it more and more. His wife had great taste.
After hanging the curtains, Han Yixian went to the kitchen to help He Yuhan tidy up. When he entered the kitchen, he saw that not only were all the kitchen utensils complete, but even food and other necessities were prepared in abundance. As long as there was firewood, they could start cooking right away.
He increasingly felt that his little fiancée was a fairy who could conjure things out of thin air; otherwise, who would send so many things to him in such a short time?
No matter who He Yuhan is, he will not give up on her; she will always be his wife.
He felt as if he and He Yuhan had already started living their own little life, a very comfortable little life.
The truck carrying coal and firewood arrived at the new house quickly. Han Yixian had someone drive the truck directly into the backyard and unload the coal and firewood there.
Han Yixian bought a lot of coal and firewood so that He Yuhan could burn them freely after moving in.
After the truck was unloaded and everyone left, Han Yixian picked up some firewood suitable for direct burning and carried it into the kitchen.
Then they added water to the large pot and boiled it. He Yuhan could use the hot water while wiping and washing, and also heat the kang (a traditional heated bed).
Once the large pot was lit and the wood was burning, there was no need to worry about it. Han Yixian then started tinkering with the heating system. He first filled the heating pipes with water, and then started the boiler room stove to power the heating system.
Soon the stove was lit, and Han Yixian kept the fire door open to keep it burning brightly, and soon the heating was on.
The room gradually warmed up and felt cozy.
