The people sitting in the house were furious after hearing Han Sheng's words.
Yu Huiru stood up angrily and said, "You really know how to shirk responsibility. Your son led a group of people to kidnap my daughter and tried to kill her. In the end, he forced her to fall off a cliff. If she hadn't been lucky, she would have been dead long ago. And you just casually say you didn't know anything about it?"
Wen Jinyu glared at Han Sheng and said, "What did my daughter-in-law do to you that you treat her like this? You want to kill her, what else do you want? You don't treat us as family, but as enemies."
Han Sheng's forehead was sweating. He had originally intended to plead for his second son, but now, faced with his second son's betrayal and the first wife's aggressive behavior, he abandoned his previous idea.
He quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, I really didn't know what Yichuan was doing. If I had known beforehand, I would definitely have stopped him."
After saying that, he turned to He Yuhan and said, "Niece-in-law, I'm so sorry that you were frightened by this incident. It's all my fault for not disciplining Yichuan properly. I don't ask you to forgive Yichuan. He should take responsibility for his wrongdoing. You should punish him as you see fit, which will be a fair outcome for you."
Just as he was about to speak again, a voice came from behind him saying, "Han Yichuan deserved to be punished; he got what he deserved."
Upon hearing this, Han Sheng knew that Han Yixian had returned and quickly turned around, saying, "Yixian, you're back. I've come to apologize to you. Punish Yichuan as he should be, without worrying about us. This is also to give my niece-in-law justice."
Han Yixian carried his briefcase, his face cold and stern, his eyes gleaming with a chilling light, making Han Sheng's heart pound. He felt as if he were being watched by a ferocious beast, which made him somewhat terrified.
When He Yuhan saw her husband return, she quickly got up, took the briefcase, and said, "Brother Yi, you're back. Sit down and rest."
Then she put the briefcase in the room and poured Han Yi a cup of tea to soothe her husband's throat.
Han Yixian slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. Even though he was sitting, Han Sheng still felt a sense of oppression. He was shocked by how powerful Han Yixian's aura was.
Soon He Chenglin returned as well. Everyone sat on the sofa, except for Han Sheng, who stood alone in the center of the living room, giving off a somewhat hostile atmosphere.
Facing several imposing opponents, Han Sheng trembled slightly. He regretted coming to apologize; he should have brought more men, which would have given him more confidence.
Han Yixian stared coldly at Han Sheng and said, "Second Uncle, Han Yichuan had Yuhan kidnapped when she went to the hospital to see her uncle. Fortunately, Huo Xicheng happened to be there and rescued Yuhan. But Han Yichuan didn't stop there. He even led a group of people to chase after them and shot and wounded Yuhan and Huo Xicheng, eventually forcing them to the edge of a cliff."
Han Yichuan even tried to kill them to silence them, forcing Yuhan and the others to jump off the cliff out of desperation. If they hadn't been lucky, my son might be motherless now. Han Yichuan's actions are utterly heinous.
After he was arrested, he became scared and confessed that you were the one who ordered everything.
Before Han Yixian could finish speaking, Han Sheng quickly waved his hand in denial, saying, "No, no, Yixian, how could I possibly instruct him to do such a thing? We are all blood relatives, how could I possibly harm my own family?"
These were all Han Yichuan's own ideas; I had no idea about them. You should know me; I'm timid, and I wouldn't dare do these things.
Han Yixian's eyes flashed with a cold light, his sharp gaze fixed on Han Sheng, as if trying to freeze him. Han Sheng involuntarily shivered.
Han Xiao and He Chenglin both looked coldly at Han Sheng, neither of them speaking. It was enough for Han Yixian to speak alone.
Han Yixian snorted and said, "What wouldn't you dare to do? Where did Han Yichuan and his gang get their guns and bullets? How could they possibly acquire so many weapons? Possessing firearms is a serious crime. I wonder if Second Uncle is afraid?"
You still say you're a coward? Back then, you orchestrated Zeng Yufen's marriage into the Han family while she was pregnant with another man's child, making my father raise someone else's child for decades for nothing. You even tried to use Han Yikun to seize the Han family's assets. Unfortunately for you, your scheme failed, and we eventually discovered and exposed it.
Furthermore, after my accident, you tampered with things at the hospital, leaving me paralyzed and disabled so that Han Yikun could make way for me.
For so many years you've pretended to be humble and subservient, but deep down you've never been truly convinced. You've been plotting to eliminate our main branch so you can seize control of the Han family.
Your ambitions are blatantly obvious; are you still trying to deny it?
Han Sheng grew increasingly shocked as he listened to Han Yixian's words; he hadn't expected Han Yixian to know so much. Were these just their guesses, or did they already have evidence?
Han Sheng was in a state of panic, but he tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor.
He feigned innocence and said, "Yixian, I don't know what you're talking about. You can't blame everything that happened before on us just because Yichuan did something wrong."
I am of the Han family bloodline, and my elder brother is my brother. How could I possibly do such a thing? Besides, how could I have had such power decades ago?
Han Yixian sneered and stared at Han Sheng, saying, "You may not have that much power, but your mother and the forces behind her do. Haven't you been using them all along?"
Upon hearing this, Han Sheng abruptly raised his head, staring at Han Yixian in shock. Han Yixian had even found out about this? What were they going to do?
Han Sheng became increasingly frightened as he thought about it, and soon cold sweat began to trickle down his temples and cheeks.
Han Sheng stammered, "What mother of mine? What power behind her? I know nothing about that. Yi Xian, are you joking? My mother is just a weak woman. She doesn't understand anything. How could she be like what you're saying?"
Han Yixian curled his lip and looked at Han Sheng with a mocking expression, saying, "She's a weak woman? Hmph, she came into the Han family with a purpose in the first place. She schemed against Grandpa and wanted to become the matriarch of the Han family. Unfortunately, Grandpa never gave her the chance and would never give her the position of matriarch of the Han family."
If she hadn't given birth to you, she would have been kicked out long ago. Grandpa only allowed you to leave Kyoto after you came of age because of you.
"You are Grandpa's sons, and Grandpa has not treated you unfairly, providing you with a family business in the south. But you are insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, desiring to possess the entire Han family, and even trying to eliminate our eldest branch to control the Han family. So from the very beginning, you have been wolves in sheep's clothing."
Han Shengqiang straightened his back and said pretentiously, "Yixian, my mother is your elder, how can you slander her like this? How could a weak woman like her have such great ambitions?"
She entered the Han family out of desperation, wanting only to survive and have a stable life. My mother told me all of this. She's definitely not like what you're describing.
After we arrived in the South, she worked tirelessly to manage the household, helped me get married, and raised my children. She was a kind and compassionate elder who never did anything out of line.
Everyone admired Han Sheng's composure when they saw that he could still argue like this.
Han Yixian was determined to confront Han Sheng today, to make things clear and force Han Sheng to accept his fate. They had almost killed his wife; this time, he couldn't let Han Sheng get away with it.
