Chapter 476 The Unspeakable Secret



When He Yuhan saw her husband come to find her, her eyes suddenly reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

He Yuhan, who hadn't cried in front of Huo Xicheng, immediately felt she had someone to rely on when she saw her husband, and her strong exterior instantly crumbled.

Even the strongest woman will appear vulnerable in front of her lover.

He Yuhan let go of Huo Xicheng and went to meet Han Yixian. Han Yixian opened his arms and hugged He Yuhan tightly, ignoring the two other people around them.

He hugged He Yuhan tightly, kissed his wife's hair, and choked up as he said, "Yuhan, you scared me to death! I've finally found you."

He Yuhan leaned against her husband's chest, avoiding her injured shoulder, sniffed, and choked out, "I thought it would be a long time before I could see you again. I didn't expect you to find us so quickly."

Han Yixian said, "I rushed home as soon as I received the news of your disappearance. Nothing is more important than you."

Then Han Yi first let go of He Yuhan to check if she was injured. As soon as he grabbed He Yuhan's shoulder, He Yuhan cried out.

Han Yixian could tell at a glance that his wife was injured, and quickly asked, "You're injured? Where are you hurt?"

He Yuhan said, "Brother Yi, I'm fine. I was just shot in the shoulder and suffered a minor injury. The bullet has been removed, and I'm alright now."

Han Yixian said worriedly, "You've been shot, how come it's only a minor injury? Why don't you rest and recover properly? Let me do whatever it takes."

At this moment, He Zhenhua had already come to Huo Xicheng's side and asked, "Xicheng, how are you? I saw Yuhan supporting you, are you injured?"

Huo Xicheng said, "I was shot in the back. Yuhan has already performed surgery on me, and I'm recovering well now."

He Zhenhua nodded and said, "That's good. Then why didn't you stay in the cave to recuperate? What are you doing here?"

Huo Xicheng blushed and said, "I need to use the restroom, I really can't take it anymore?"

Upon hearing this, He Zhenhua quickly said, "Then I'll help you there. Let the young couple talk first."

It would be best if He Zhenhua could help, so Huo Xicheng didn't stand on ceremony.

Han Yixian then pulled He Yuhan into the cave. Upon seeing the contents, he exclaimed, "Xicheng knows your secret?"

He Yuhan replied, "I guess he knows. I didn't say anything, but I think he probably guessed. But he said he wouldn't ask any more questions and wouldn't let me say anything either. He swore he would keep my secret."

He risked his life to save me then. On that life-or-death moment on the cliff, I couldn't abandon him just to keep the secret of the space. What kind of person would I be?

Han Yixian sighed and said, "This is also due to the circumstances. He risked his life to save you, so of course you can't abandon him. Don't worry, I trust Xicheng's character; he will definitely keep your secret. How did he meet you?"

He Yuhan replied, "Brother Huo happened to see me being taken into a car outside the hospital. He felt something was wrong, so he drove after us and followed us all the way to that small village. He rescued me while the thugs were distracted and then took me with him to escape."

Han Yi listened to He Yuhan recount her harrowing experience, and he was deeply grateful to Huo Xicheng for saving her. He wondered what would have happened to her if it weren't for Huo Xicheng's wife.

He said, "It's a miracle you all escaped this time. How badly is Xicheng injured?"

He Yuhan said, "He was shot in the back while he was running with me, but he didn't utter a sound and just kept running with me. It wasn't until we were 'forced' to the edge of a cliff that I realized his back was soaked in blood."

Although he wasn't fatally wounded, the injury was still severe, and he lost a lot of blood. If I hadn't used my spatial abilities to quickly gather blood for a transfusion, the consequences would have been unimaginable. This time, the other side truly intended to kill us, showing absolutely no mercy.

Han Yi nodded and said, "We owe him a lot this time."

Outside the cave, Huo Xicheng recounted his journey to He Zhenhua.

He Zhenhua said gratefully, "Xicheng, we owe you a lot this time. Otherwise, we don't know what they would have done to Yuhan. It's good that you're alright this time, otherwise, how would we explain it to Aunt Yun?"

Huo Xicheng said, "How could I stand idly by when Yuhan is in danger? I would have no regrets even if I died for her."

He Zhenhua knew exactly what Huo Xicheng was thinking. He patted Huo Xicheng's shoulder lightly and said, "Brother, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

With his younger sister already married and having children, Huo Xicheng's feelings were destined to be fruitless.

He Zhenhua also felt regretful but helpless; he couldn't very well separate his sister and Han Yixian. The young couple were very much in love and even had a son, which was an indelible fact.

Huo Xicheng was destined to be unlucky in love.

Huo Xicheng said, "I'm fine. I would save anyone else if they were in danger, let alone Yuhan. You don't need to feel guilty."

He Zhenhua nodded and said, "Let's go back quickly. You've suffered such serious injuries, you need to rest and recover. With Yi Xian and me here, leave everything else to us."

He Zhenhua helped Huo Xicheng back to the cave and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Han Yixian and He Yuhan hadn't done anything out of line.

The young couple had finally reunited after their ordeal, and He Zhenhua was worried that they would get all lovey-dovey without regard for the occasion, which would make Huo Xicheng uncomfortable. Fortunately, the two of them knew their limits and didn't hug each other like before.

He Yuhan and Han Yixian stopped their conversation when they saw their older brother and Huo Xicheng come in.

He Yuhan said, "Brother Huo's injury has only just healed a little and he still needs to rest. You should lie down and rest."

Huo Xicheng was quite obedient and let He Zhenhua help him lie down on the quilt.

Looking at the scene inside the cave, He Zhenhua pointed to the objects inside and asked in surprise, "Where did these things come from?"

He Yuhan said, "I took it out."

Huo Xicheng tugged at He Zhenhua, signaling him to stop asking questions, as he didn't want to put He Yuhan in a difficult position.

Upon hearing this, He Zhenhua immediately fell silent, as if his neck had been choked.

No wonder his father forbade him to ask too many questions. His younger sister could carry so many things with her; she must have some kind of treasure, or perhaps she possessed special abilities. This was indeed a secret that couldn't be told to others, so he wisely refrained from asking to avoid putting his sister in a difficult position.

Those present deliberately avoided discussing this unspeakable secret.

Huo Xicheng quickly changed the subject, asking, "How did you find this place? Is there a way in this valley?"

Han Yixian said, "We came down the cliff directly using ropes."

Han Yixian then recounted how He Zhendong and his group found Huo Xicheng's car, how they tracked it to the cliff, and how they couldn't find the way into the valley, so they descended directly from the top of the cliff using ropes.
