Huo Xicheng glared at the five people not far away and said, "Who are you people? How dare you illegally possess firearms and commit violence with them? Aren't you afraid of being punished by law?"
Han Yichuan, whom Huo Xicheng mentioned, also recognized Huo Xicheng. He stepped forward, sneered, and said, "Who do we have here? It's Huo Xicheng. Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. He Yuhan is already married, yet you still won't give up and are even willing to risk your life for her."
Upon seeing that Han Yichuan recognized him, Huo Xicheng no longer concealed anything and angrily said, "Han Yichuan, you are truly heartless! He Yuhan is your eldest cousin's wife, how could you want to kill her?"
Han Yichuan sneered and said, "What eldest cousin-in-law? I don't have any eldest cousin. Han Yixian and his eldest son's family have taken over everything in the Han family. They have never treated us second sons as members of the Han family. They exiled us to the south and forbade us from returning to the capital, while they enjoy everything in the Han family. Why should they?"
Since they are heartless, they shouldn't blame us for being unjust. We just want to take back everything that belongs to us.
Now that you've recognized me, there's no way I'll let you go back alive.
"Huo Xicheng, don't blame us when you die. It's because you shouldn't have gotten involved. But with a beauty like He Yuhan keeping you company on your journey to the underworld, you won't be too lonely."
Upon hearing Han Yichuan's words, He Yuhan knew that he wouldn't let her and Huo Xicheng off the hook.
She slipped out from behind Huo Xicheng and looked at Han Yichuan, asking, "Your second branch has always coveted everything in the Han family. So, were the events involving Liu Zhongquan and Zeng Yufen all orchestrated by you? Was Han Yixian's leg injury and subsequent crippling also planned by you?"
Han Yichuan sneered and said, "It was indeed our arrangement. But you can't blame our second branch entirely. You can only blame your enemy for being too powerful. We were just hitching a ride and cooperating with them."
"Knowing all this is useless now, because the more you know, the less likely you are to live. I wonder if Han Yi will go mad after seeing your corpse. I look forward to that day. Once the eldest son's family is wiped out, let's see who will inherit the Han family. In the end, the Han family will only belong to our second son's family."
Upon hearing this, He Yuhan realized that it wasn't just the second wife's doing, but that there was an even more powerful force behind it all. This was arguably the biggest takeaway of the day.
He Yuhan sneered and said, "You really know how to daydream. Don't forget that the Han family has many branches besides your second branch. Do you think they will submit to your branch of concubines without the first branch?"
If your grandmother hadn't schemed against Grandpa, there wouldn't be a second branch of the family. Grandpa has already provided you with property and ensured you have enough to eat and wear; that's already being kind to you. Yet you're still not satisfied and even dare to dream of controlling everything in the Han family. You're truly insatiable.
Do you think the Han family is still the same Han family as before? After so many years of donations from several generations, the Han family is already empty. Now they have even donated the old house. What do you think the Han family has left?
Even if you acquire the Han family, you'll only have an empty shell left. Only the Han family's reputation will have any value. Without the main branch, you, as the illegitimate second branch, will likely have little to no value in the Han family's reputation either.
He Yuhan said this intentionally for Han Yichuan to hear, so she could use him to relay the message that the Han family was now just an empty shell. This would make those secretly plotting something unsettling. Even if they didn't believe her, it would still serve to confuse the public.
All the assets of the Han and Wen families are in her space. Those people could search high and low and still not find anything from the Han family. In the end, maybe they would believe her? In any case, they are destined to have wasted their time.
He Yuhan was thinking about whether she should go back and discuss with her father-in-law and the others about donating some of the Han family's treasures. This would make people think that the Han family had donated everything, and would deter those who coveted the Han family's wealth. At the very least, it would create confusion and prevent people from being certain how much wealth the Han family still had.
Then she could use the resources to exchange them back from the Han family. If done properly, it would be entirely feasible.
Han Yichuan was trembling with anger at He Yuhan. He hated it most when people said that their second branch of the family was born out of wedlock. They were all descendants of the Han family, yet they had to suffer unfair treatment because of the word "born out of wedlock."
Han Yichuan, enraged, laughed and said, "You don't need to say these things to upset me. I won't hold a grudge against a dying man. When your husband and son join you in the afterlife, you'll have to thank me properly."
He Yuhan said, "If you don't believe me, fine. Even if you get the Han family, what good will it do? You're destined to have worked for nothing."
As He Yuhan spoke, she pulled Huo Xicheng back toward the edge of the cliff.
Behind them were sheer cliffs, and the misty fog at the bottom of the cliffs prevented people from seeing what was happening there, which was exactly what He Yuhan wanted.
The mountain wind whistled past their ears on the cliff top. He Yuhan whispered to Huo Xicheng, "Brother Huo, don't move if I do anything. Leave everything to me. We won't die here. Please trust me."
Huo Xicheng stood in front of He Yuhan and heard her words, saying, "I believe you. I'm willing to die together with you."
Han Yichuan made a gesture, and several people behind him picked up their pistols.
Just then, He Yuhan suddenly wrapped one arm around Huo Xicheng's waist and covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief in her other hand, shouting, "Close your eyes, don't open your eyes."
Then she grabbed Huo Xicheng and backed away, falling off the cliff.
Before Huo Xicheng could react, he inhaled the drug, his mind went blank, and he fell into a coma. He Yuhan then took Huo Xicheng into the space.
The people on the cliff were startled by this sudden turn of events. When they saw He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng jump off the cliff, they quickly ran to the edge and looked down.
However, the fog below the cliff made it impossible to see He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng.
One of them said, "These two are really reckless; they just jumped off the cliff themselves. Now they're truly a pair of doomed lovers."
Another person said, "I heard from the old folks that this cliff is very deep. If you fall in, you'll be smashed to pieces and turned into a meat pie. If there are wild animals around, you'll be completely destroyed."
Han Yichuan gritted his teeth and cursed viciously, "They deserved it. Alright, we can't waste any more time, we have to leave quickly. The Han family's men will be here soon after that long and intense gunfire. Now that He Yuhan is dead, we can't blackmail the Han family anymore, we can only wait for another opportunity."
Han Yi will go crazy when he sees his wife's miserable state. Let him experience the excruciating pain of losing his wife first.
Now that He Yuhan is gone, the next one is that little brat, and then Han Yixian. None of the Han family's eldest son will survive.
