That night, He Zhenhua was very interested in the emergency light illuminating the cave, and he marveled at it for a long time. He could tell it was a high-end product, but no matter how curious he was, he didn't ask He Yuhan about it, afraid of putting his sister in a difficult position.
Han Yixian was very satisfied with He Zhenhua's understanding and sensible nature.
Huo Xicheng's IV drip finished early, so there was nothing to do that evening, and he went to sleep. Everyone desperately needed rest.
Han Yixian and He Zhenhua secured the cave entrance to ensure that large wild animals couldn't get in. Although they hadn't seen any large wild animals in the valley so far, it was still better to be cautious.
Looking at the thick wooden door and the big stone, He Zhenhua thought to himself, "My sister can even carry this with her, as well as those quilts and such. Does she have a treasure like the Qiankun bag in the myths?"
Anyway, his younger sister is a person with great fortune and great secrets, so he has to protect her well in the future.
He was somewhat dissatisfied with Han Yixian after his sister's recent incidents, feeling that Han Yixian had failed to protect her and had repeatedly put her in danger. He decided he needed to give Han Yixian a good talking-to and make him protect his sister properly.
Han Yixian was unaware that his brother-in-law was already planning to teach him a lesson. He was tidying up their sleeping mat on the floor so that his wife could sleep comfortably that night.
He was still a little worried about He Yuhan sleeping on the far side, so he let his wife sleep between him and He Zhenhua. That way, with the two of them protecting her, she would be safe and warmer at night. It was quite cool in the valley at night.
Han Yi patted the fairly soft floor and told He Yuhan to rest, "Yuhan, come on, lie down and go to sleep. Turn off the lights early to save electricity."
He Yuhan obediently sat in the seat that Han Yixian had arranged for her.
Han Yi first helped He Yuhan lie down and covered her with a blanket, saying, "Go to sleep. You've had a long day, get some rest."
With her husband by her side, He Yuhan felt at ease. Covered in a warm, soft quilt, she said, "You haven't had much rest for days. You should get some rest. And your older brother hasn't slept for a day and a night either. You should all get a good rest tonight, so you don't have to get up early tomorrow morning."
Anyway, you don't have to think about going to work now. Just get up whenever you've had enough sleep, consider it a vacation.
He Zhenhua laughed and said, "Thinking about it this way, it really does feel like a vacation. Let's not think about anything and just spend a few days here enjoying a leisurely life where we can rest at sunset."
Han Yixian said, "Then let's rest and recuperate with the two wounded soldiers. Let's go to sleep."
Han Yixian hadn't rested much in the past few days and was exhausted, but a strong willpower was keeping him going.
Now that the person has been found and everyone is safe, he can finally relax. He's so sleepy he can barely keep his eyes open, but he's managing to keep talking to everyone.
He Yuhan noticed her husband's exhaustion and told everyone to lie down. She then turned the emergency light down to the lowest setting, and the light dimmed instantly, making the cave dark as well.
She was worried that someone might fall in the dark cave at night, so she kept the lights on for some light.
He Zhenhua exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, this lamp is really good, it can even adjust the brightness."
As the light dimmed under the covers, Han Yi first avoided He Yuhan's injuries, then held her in his arms and whispered, "Sleep peacefully."
The couple soon fell asleep. He Zhenhua was also very tired, and Huo Xicheng was still quite weak, so they both fell asleep quickly as well.
Everyone slept soundly that night.
However, Han Yichuan and his group were uneasy after they quickly left after "forcing" He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng off the cliff.
Although He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng jumped off the cliff, who can guarantee that they will definitely die? What if one of them is lucky enough to survive? Then their secret will be exposed.
They simply didn't have time to confirm whether He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng were dead or alive. If they went to find He Yuhan, they would likely encounter people sent by the Han family looking for her, and then things would become complicated.
Han Yichuan prayed in his heart that He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng were both dead, so that no future troubles would be left behind.
After leaving City C, Han Yichuan kept people in C City to keep an eye on the news. He also learned that the Han family and the He family were looking for He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng, but there was still no news.
Little did they know that when Han Yixian sent the telegram back, he instructed He Zhendong and his family to keep the news of He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng strictly confidential. This was to "confuse" the second branch of the family, to make them feel lucky and believe that He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng were dead, so that they would not back down or destroy the evidence out of panic.
Han Yichuan dared not tell his father about the accident that occurred during the capture of He Yuhan, for fear of being scolded. He only said that He Yuhan had been accidentally killed by him.
Han Sheng was very dissatisfied after receiving Han Yichuan's message. He had originally intended to use He Yuhan to restrain the eldest branch of the Han family, but now such a good bargaining chip had been wasted, and it had also alerted the eldest branch, making them even more vigilant. This would make it even more difficult to capture the rest of the eldest branch.
Now they have to adjust their plans, and many things that were planned before have to be changed. Han Sheng was so angry that he cursed Han Yichuan in his heart. If Han Yichuan were in front of him, he would definitely give him a good scolding.
Han Sheng instructed Han Yichuan to take his men back to the south as soon as possible, as he had other matters to attend to. The Han family was undoubtedly searching for He Yuhan's whereabouts and investigating her kidnappers, so his second son was no longer suited to remain in the north.
They absolutely cannot let the first wife's family find out that the second wife's family is here; it's not the time for them to confront the first wife's family yet.
It would be best for them to slowly weaken the eldest son's power from the shadows. Just like a cat catching a mouse, they should tease the mouse until it's exhausted before devouring it in one fell swoop.
Han Sheng treated the eldest son's family like rats, unaware that Han Xiao and his group had already discovered the second son's family's conspiracy. Han Xiao also treated the second son's family like rats and planned to eliminate them little by little.
Han Xiao mobilized some resources in the south to begin a comprehensive investigation into everything related to the second wife's family, including Han Sheng's mother and her family.
Han Xiao, upon seeing his son's reminder in the telegram, also felt that Han Sheng's mother was highly suspicious. The fact that Han Sheng's mother was able to get into his father's bed and become pregnant with Han Sheng back then now seemed anything but simple.
He wanted to see what other evil spirits were lurking behind Han Sheng and his group.
The Han family has faced dangers and even desperate situations more than once over the years, but they have always managed to overcome them.
In Han Xiao's eyes, Han Sheng and his second branch of the family were a bunch of clowns. They were delusional to think they could have everything from the Han family. They were not afraid of overreaching themselves.
They ruined his happiness and separated him from Jinyu for decades. They also almost ruined his son's life. He was determined to get revenge for all of this.
He would no longer show them mercy, even though they were of Han family blood. They were now traitors to the Han family, and he should prepare to purge them from his ranks.
