Han Yixian had been investigating the people in Qianyuan County after they moved there, especially after he started building the pharmaceutical factory.
He paid particular attention to the out-of-town workers who entered the pharmaceutical factory after him. Although many of them came under the guise of supporting the construction, he could not rule out the possibility that some of them had ulterior motives.
He had already assigned people to keep an eye on several suspicious individuals at the pharmaceutical factory and had thoroughly investigated their backgrounds.
Just like the incident involving Liu Jiaxin last time, one of the main characters, Chen Shulan, is a very suspicious person.
According to the information gathered, Chen Shulan is from the Chen family of Kyoto. Moreover, Chen Shulan is not from the main branch of the Chen family; she was a girl specially selected from a collateral branch and groomed for a marriage alliance.
It's highly suspicious that a girl raised by the Chen family at great expense would come to such a remote place.
Considering the role Chen Shulan played after being taken to the Chen family's main branch for training, coupled with the fact that Chen Shulan left Kyoto instead of staying here, and their seemingly unintentional encounter last time, Han Yixian couldn't help but suspect that Chen Shulan was after him.
This is very possible. Just look at Kyoto; there are countless people who covet the Han family's wealth and power.
The best way to get into the Han family is to marry him and become the future mistress of the Han family.
Now that he has married He Yuhan, many people's hopes have been dashed. But there will certainly be some who won't give up, so they need to remove He Yuhan from his wife's position in order to continue their plan.
In that case, those people will definitely try to sabotage his relationship with He Yuhan and drive a wedge between them.
He just wanted to live a peaceful life with his wife, why was it so difficult? According to the book his wife had taken out, the situation would soon become more and more tense, and they had to find a way to avoid it as much as possible.
No matter how powerful the Han family is, they cannot fight against the overall situation. The wisest choice is to bide their time and conceal their strength. Therefore, now is not the time to think about how to develop, but rather how to preserve their strength.
If all else fails, he'll take his family to the countryside to become farmers. The countryside has a smaller population and simpler relationships. Although conditions are tougher, it's relatively safer. Besides, with his wife's support, and their hunting skills, it won't be too difficult.
He only had this plan in mind and was preparing to discuss it with his father and wife.
Han Yixian's people discovered that Chen Shulan had returned to Kyoto some time ago and stayed there for a while.
Although Chen Shulan didn't do much in Kyoto and had no contact with Wang Guixiang, some members of the Chen family had been in frequent contact with Wang Guixiang some time ago, and that's when Wang Guixiang suddenly came to Qianyuan County.
Han Yixian couldn't help but suspect that Wang Guixiang's sudden arrival in Qianyuan County was orchestrated by the Chen family. Moreover, this was also related to Chen Shulan.
So, is the letter that Wang Guixiang received also related to Chen Shulan?
As more and more information was uncovered during the investigation, the focus gradually shifted to Chen Shulan.
Surprisingly, the information uncovered during this investigation also included the name of Wang Lin, a seemingly insignificant person in the pharmaceutical factory's office. It seems that no matter how unremarkable someone may seem, they cannot be easily overlooked.
He also investigated other people, and he felt that this pharmaceutical factory was truly a place where "hidden talents reside."
It's quite remarkable how much effort these people put into this.
Han Yixian suddenly felt somewhat disheartened; his initial passion for building and managing the pharmaceutical factory had been greatly diminished by these people.
While Han Yixian was busy with his investigation, Zhou Zhengye was also busy investigating the person who wrote the letter to Wang Guixiang, and he also had people investigate who in Kyoto had been close to Wang Guixiang recently and what they had said to her.
Zhou Zhengye also believed that someone had said something to Wang Guixiang that led to her sudden trip to Qianyuan County. He also gleaned some information from some of Wang Guixiang's words.
He was so far from the capital, yet there were still people specifically paying attention to his affairs, and even spreading rumors and sowing discord in front of Wang Guixiang. Clearly, someone had ill intentions.
He still needs to investigate whether this is aimed at him or the Han family.
But it's certain that he was set up, and he's not the kind of person who doesn't fight back; he won't let himself be set up without retaliating.
Zhou Zhengye also frequently exchanged information he had gathered from his investigations with Han Yixian.
The two men used different investigative channels, so the information they obtained naturally differed. This led them to share their findings.
This investigation also made Han Yixian and Zhou Zhengye realize that the situation was becoming increasingly tense.
Since his last argument with Wang Guixiang, Zhou Zhengye has received calls from his mother-in-law and mother, both of whom are urging him to forgive Wang Guixiang.
Although Zhou's mother was also angry about the foolish thing her daughter-in-law had done, she couldn't let the couple get divorced because of this. Wouldn't that make the Zhou family enemies with the Wang family? So she could only advise her son to be more understanding and not to stoop to Wang Guixiang's level.
Zhou Zhengye could appease his mother-in-law, but he didn't want his own mother to worry. His mother's health was poor, and she deeply regretted arranging the marriage. However, the Zhou family was now stuck in a rut; divorcing Wang Guixiang was impossible.
So Zhou Zhengye also backed down and went home to live.
However, he still slept in a separate room from Wang Guixiang, and he would come home very late every day, go straight to his bedroom to sleep, and completely ignore Wang Guixiang.
He left home for the office early in the morning, before Wang Guixiang had even gotten out of bed. He tried his best to avoid running into Wang Guixiang, and if he did, he wouldn't speak to her.
Zhou Zhengye's cold attitude left Wang Guixiang speechless with bitterness. She was in the wrong first, and she wanted to repair her relationship with Zhou Zhengye, so she endured it all.
Moreover, even if she wanted to talk to Zhou Zhengye, she could hardly ever see him. Every night, she was so tired that Zhou Zhengye hadn't come home yet, so she could only go to sleep. When she woke up in the morning, Zhou Zhengye was already gone.
She knew Zhou Zhengye was intentionally avoiding her. He only came home after his mother and mother-in-law both called and persuaded him; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have come home at all.
Although her family is currently very powerful, Zhou Zhengye is not weak either, and the Wang family doesn't dare to be too assertive. After all, she married into the Zhou family, and if she were too assertive, she feared Zhou Zhengye might react recklessly and cause trouble.
She married Zhou Zhengye because she loved him, so of course she hoped they could live a harmonious life together. She had made a mistake before, and she was trying her best to make amends.
She wanted to go to the Han family to apologize sincerely again, but Zhou Zhengye did not agree.
She didn't genuinely want to apologize to the Han family; it was just a show for Zhou Zhengye, an attempt to curry favor with him. Since he disagreed, she simply didn't go.
She didn't want to see He Yuhan's excessively beautiful face; it would make her feel inferior.
