He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng were both deeply moved after hearing Han Yixian's account of what had happened.
He Yuhan said, "You guys are pretty amazing, finding us so quickly."
Huo Xicheng said, "So, we still can't be sure if there's a way out of this valley?"
Han Yi nodded and said, "Yes, if there is no way out of this valley, we will have to climb up the cliff by holding onto ropes. So you have to fully recover from your injury before you can move."
"Let's take another good look at the terrain of this valley now and then. It would be much easier if we found a way out."
He Zhenhua also said, "Yes, Xicheng, you and Yuhan both need to rest and recover properly. It's important to get your injuries healed as soon as possible. As for how to get out, we'll find out slowly."
Han Yixian said, "Everyone at home is waiting for news of you. They're all very worried. I'll send a telegram to Zhendong right away to let him know you're safe and put their minds at ease."
He Yuhan said, "Brother Yi, don't rush to send the message. I have something important to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Han Yixian asked curiously, "What important matter?"
He Yuhan said, "Han Yichuan from your second uncle's family was among the people who arrested me."
Han Yixian was taken aback upon hearing this. "What did you say? There really were people from the second wife's family among the people who arrested you?"
Huo Xicheng said, "I met Han Yichuan in Kyoto before, so I know him. He recognized me too, which is why they didn't show us any mercy and tried to kill us. They didn't want to expose their true colors."
Han Yichuan even came this time, which shows they put in a lot of effort. They didn't succeed this time, but they'll definitely try again next time.
Han Yixian paced back and forth in the cave with a gloomy face and said, "Yuhan, it seems your analysis was correct. They have been coveting everything the Han family has. They have been plotting to seize everything from the Han family. Their previous subservience was all an act; this is their true nature."
Han Yi walked to the cave entrance, looking at the scenery outside. His eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light. He gritted his teeth and said, "I won't let them have another chance to make a move."
He Zhenhua said, "Aren't they illegitimate children? Why are they so arrogant? But in the past, it was common for illegitimate children to murder legitimate children and seize family property, so this isn't too surprising. It's just that the second branch of the Han family is really quite shrewd. They've been plotting for so many years and almost succeeded. They're really not simple."
It's no wonder they hate you so much, since you basically ruined all their plans.
Think about it, Yi Xian's legs were already useless and he would be paralyzed for life, so he was no threat to them. But Yu Han cured Yi Xian's legs.
Furthermore, it was Yuhan who first discovered the clues regarding Zeng Yufen and Liu Zhongquan's affairs. It was also Yuhan who reminded them to confirm through blood type that Han Yikun wasn't a Han family child. Several other events afterwards were also related to Yuhan. How could they not hate Yuhan?
Han Yixian was deeply grateful to his wife, "Without Yuhan, there would be no Han family today. Perhaps the Han family would have fallen into the hands of the second branch of the family by now."
He Yuhan said, "I think the second branch of the family has never been convinced from the beginning. From Han Yichuan's words, you can tell that the second branch of the family is very resentful about being assigned to the south and not being allowed to return to the capital. They don't treat you as family at all, and even treat you as enemies that they want to get rid of as soon as possible."
Han Yixian sneered, "They've been plotting to return to the capital ever since Grandpa was alive. But Grandpa never gave in. It seems Grandpa saw through their wolfish ambitions long ago."
My second uncle's mother was always scheming to become the matriarch of the Han family, but how could my grandfather allow her to do as she wished? The only reason he let her stay in the Han family was because my second uncle was still too young.
So when my second uncle came of age, my grandfather sent him and his mother to the south. Although they were far from the capital, they had no problem having enough to eat and wear. But they were still not satisfied.
He Yuhan said, "What they want is the entire Han family, how could that be possible?"
Furthermore, from Han Yichuan's words, it can be inferred that they have someone behind them, who must be an even more powerful enemy.
Send this message to your second brother as well, so Dad can prepare in advance. If we're lucky, we might be able to find something on Han Yichuan or the second wife's family. Who knows, maybe we'll make a breakthrough.”
Han Yixian said, "I will send all these messages back and ask Dad to send people to track down Han Yichuan's whereabouts. Maybe we will find something."
He Yuhan said, "Let Dad send someone to investigate your second uncle's mother. Maybe she had ulterior motives when she entered the Han family."
Han Yixian was taken aback and said, "Are you saying that Han Sheng's mother might have an even bigger problem?"
He Yuhan said, "I have a strong feeling that she has a lot of problems. Based on what you said before, she was just a servant who was taken in by the Han family because she had nowhere else to go. Not only is she not grateful to the Han family, but she has always been ambitious. I always felt that she was not simple. Maybe her purpose in joining the Han family was not pure."
Han Yixian said, "I have never met my second uncle's mother and know very little about her. I only heard about her from the housekeeper. My grandfather and father never mention her and are very wary of her. I don't dare to ask too much. I will send all this information back to Dad so he can make arrangements as soon as possible."
Han Yixian set up a small radio station outside the cave and sent messages to He Zhendong.
He Yuhan stood beside Han Yixian, watching him fiddle with the small radio, and laughed, "You guys are quite well prepared. Tell your second brother that he doesn't need to prepare anything for us; we can hunt in this valley. Tell them not to worry."
Just have him send someone to keep an eye on the ropes you'll use to come down. We might actually need those ropes to get up.
Han Yixian said, "We can have him use a rope to bring us some grain and cooking utensils. Use as little of the things in your space as possible."
If we can find a way out of the valley, things will be fine. If not, we'll have to stay here longer. You and Xicheng won't be able to climb up until your injuries are fully healed.”
He Yuhan nodded and said, "Then you can decide what to do. Just say we're fine and that Mom and Dad don't need to worry. Just say we found a way out of the valley and got out. Don't make our injuries sound too serious; just say we suffered minor injuries."
When Han Yixian sent the message back, He Zhendong was overjoyed. It was wonderful that his younger sister and Xicheng were both safe. He jumped and danced on the cliff top, and everyone who had come with He Zhendong was also very happy.
Huo Xicheng was their leader, and everyone was extremely worried about him. Now that he's safe and sound, everyone is overjoyed.
Hearing that Huo Xicheng was injured and needed to recuperate down below, everyone volunteered to guard the top of the cliff.
Seeing everyone's excitement, He Zhendong said, "We'll train here for a while and wait for them to come up."
Everyone responded enthusiastically upon hearing this.
