He Chenglin knew perfectly well what was going on. He hadn't seen his daughter and son-in-law at the wedding banquet, and he'd seen his in-laws leave in a hurry, saying they had urgent business. He knew something had happened to the Han family. So he arranged for his eldest son and the others to come to the Han family as well.
Han Xiao had just returned to the Han family home when He Chenglin arrived. Upon learning that his daughter had been kidnapped again, and even his grandson had been abducted, he was furious. "Which bastard is causing trouble this time? Haven't we already wiped out Han Sheng's forces?"
They inquired about the situation at Yueting Mountain and learned about the Scorpion.
Upon hearing that it was a scorpion, Han Yixian felt anxious and panicked, his limbs burning like lava.
He struggled to suppress his emotions and prevent them from erupting. However, his body trembled uncontrollably, his bloodshot eyes were filled with red veins, and the veins on his forehead and the back of his hands were bulging. He was almost going mad.
He knew how much Scorpion hated him, and this time Scorpion, having captured his wife and children, would certainly not show any mercy.
Han Xiao, of course, knew about Scorpion. He frowned and looked at Han Yixian, saying, "Didn't you kill Scorpion back then? How come there's another Scorpion now?"
Han Yixian's bloodshot eyes flashed with a cold light as he gritted his teeth and said, "We were all fooled by Scorpion back then. The one who died back then definitely wasn't Scorpion; this one was."
Scorpion was Han Yixian's old adversary, and Han Yixian was extremely anxious about Scorpion's reappearance. He was afraid that his wife and children would be harmed. He didn't care about his own safety, but he was worried about his wife and children.
A murderous rage surged within him, a desire to destroy the world. Anyone who dared to harm his wife and children would be punished severely this time.
When Han Yixian learned that Scorpion had asked him to go to Shilipo outside the city, he didn't delay. He left his family at home with his father and father-in-law and drove straight to the outskirts of the city.
Wen Jinyu cried in panic beside Han Xiao, "What should we do? Yuhan and the child have fallen into the hands of bad people. Will they be in danger? Xu Rui is so young. Will he be terrified?"
Du Haichao also cried with guilt, "It's all my fault for not taking good care of the child."
He Chenglin knew that Du Haichao was also frightened, after all, he was still a teenager. He patted Du Haichao's head and comforted him, "It's not your fault. You didn't know that they were bad people. Your sister and Xiao Xurui will be fine."
He Chenglin added, "I think we should first send someone to investigate Haichao's classmate's family to see if we can find anything. Also, we should keep the news of Yuhan and the child being kidnapped a secret. It would be better if we searched for and rescued them secretly to avoid provoking the enemy."
Han Xiao nodded and immediately made the arrangements. He also secretly sent someone to follow Han Yixian to Shili Slope in the suburbs, so as to provide support to Han Yixian if necessary.
Han Xiao and He Chenglin were more experienced, and they feared that the scorpion was misleading them, so they sent people to search in different directions.
After the truck carrying He Yuhan and the others reached the outskirts of the city, Scorpion said to Liu Shichun, who was driving, "Drive straight to D City."
Liu Shichun asked in surprise, "Aren't we going to Shili Slope?"
Scorpion raised the gun in his hand and sneered, saying, "I was just trying to confuse Han Yixian and make him wander around Shili Slope. By the time he can't find anyone and realizes what's happening, we'll already be in D City."
Hearing Scorpion's words, He Yuhan thought to herself, "This Scorpion is indeed cunning. His actions have bought Han Yi time, preventing him from catching up with them. I wonder where this Scorpion is taking me and the child."
Han Yixian's car left the city and headed straight for Shilipo, while He Yuhan and the others' car headed straight for D City. The two cars grew further and further apart.
When Han Yi arrived at Shilipo, all he saw was a barren mountain without a soul in sight, let alone a car.
Han Yi got out of the car and looked around. He shouted loudly, "Yuhan, Yuhan, I'm here."
The only response he received was his own echo; there was no other sound.
He shouted again, "Scorpion, I'm here. If you want revenge, come at me, don't hurt my wife and children."
But there was still no movement.
Han Yixian sensed something was wrong and carefully examined the road he had come from. He found no trace of a truck, only tire tracks from his car. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked and that Scorpion and his group had never been there.
The location that Scorpion had Yue Tingshan relay was only meant to mislead him, and he had to come in person, daring not to take any chances.
The scorpion used this psychological tactic to buy itself time to escape.
Han Yixian had no idea where Scorpion would take Yuhan and the child, or what he would do to them. But given the extent of Scorpion's hatred for him, he would never let his wife and child go.
He now only hopes that Yuhan can use the space to escape, and he also believes that his wife will protect the child and herself.
Han Yixian had no choice but to drive home. As soon as everyone saw him return, they quickly gathered around him.
Han Xiao asked, "How did it go? Did you see Yu Han?"
Han Yixian shook his head and said, "We've all been fooled by Scorpion. He never took Yuhan and the child to Shili Slope."
We all thought he wanted to kill me immediately and would use Yuhan and the child to deal with me, but we didn't expect it to be just a feint, using our anxiety to buy himself time to escape.
Upon hearing this, Wen Jinyu burst into tears.
He Chenglin sent Du Haifeng and Yue Tingshan to the He family home. After the guests left, he told He Zhenhua and the others what had happened and asked them to come to the Han family home to discuss countermeasures and help find Yuhan and the child.
The three teenagers accepted the mission and went to the compound.
Han Yi first asked his mother to cook for everyone, so that she would have something to do and wouldn't overthink things.
Han Xiao said, "I have already sent people to pursue in different directions, and I hope to get news back as soon as possible."
He Chenglin sighed and said, "Now we can only wait for news. Who would have thought that there was such a dangerous person lurking in the shadows?"
Han Xiao said, "Back when Yi Xian was in Luancheng, someone claiming to be Scorpion tried to kill him. He almost succeeded, but luckily Yi Xian was prepared and managed to kill the other party instead."
No one had ever seen the scorpion's true form; everyone assumed that what they had killed was a real scorpion. Little did they know it was a fake. This left behind such a huge threat.
Indeed, given the cunning of scorpions, how could they possibly risk such a mission alone?
He Chenglin was so worried about the safety of his daughter and grandson that he developed two blisters on his lips in just a short while.
He now even regrets agreeing to let his daughter marry Han Yixian. The Han family has one trouble after another, and they have many enemies. His daughter has almost lost her life several times, and he doesn't know what else she will encounter in the future.
But what can be done? The daughter is already married and has children; this is all that can be done.
