The two mothers were relieved to see that Han Yixian and his wife had returned safely.
Seeing that his daughter and son-in-law were both safe and sound, He Chenglin asked, "How was it? Everything went smoothly, right? No one found out?"
Han Yixian said, "Everything went smoothly."
Han Xiao said, "Hold on for a few more days. Once we've investigated all these people, we can bring them under control. Then you won't need to hide your whereabouts anymore. And then we'll just wait for Han Sheng to come knocking."
For the next few days, Han Yixian and He Zhenhua were busy with their respective work at home.
Lu Guanying's men finally sent him a message: Han Yichuan had been captured by Han Xiao's men.
He quickly sent someone to inform his sister, Lu Dangui, to secretly come and see him.
Lu Dangui dared not delay and secretly came to see Lu Guanying that very night.
Lu Guanying didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Han Yichuan was captured by Han Xiao's men."
Upon hearing this, Lu Dangui exclaimed in panic, "What should we do? Brother, what if he reveals everything?"
Lu Guanying snorted and said, "Is there any need to say more? Although I've never met him, I know from his usual behavior that he's not going to amount to anything, let alone be able to handle things. I reckon he's already implicated Han Sheng."
Lu Dangui's eyes immediately reddened, and she said, "Then Han Xiao will never let Asheng go."
Lu Guanying said with a gloomy face, "The only solution now is to have Han Sheng go to City C to apologize and say that Han Yichuan acted on his own initiative and that it has nothing to do with him."
Lu Dangui felt very uneasy. "Will Han Xiao believe Asheng's words?"
Lu Guanying said, "Whether Han Xiao believes it or not, Han Sheng has to go. If he doesn't go, Han Xiao won't let him off the hook. If he goes, there's a 50% chance he can get away with it."
Even if Han Xiao doesn't believe it, Han Sheng has made a grand gesture, and Han Xiao might consider the Han family's reputation and not pursue the matter further. After all, they are half-brothers and both members of the Han family.
If news of fratricide breaks out, it won't look good for him. Don't hesitate any longer; this is the only way. Go back and tell Han Sheng about this immediately, and tell him to leave for City C without delay.
As for whether Han Yichuan and his men's guns were confiscated along with theirs, I don't know; the people there haven't been able to find out anything about it. In any case, Han Sheng can't admit to anything once he's gone.”
Lu Dangui had already discussed this matter with her brother before and was mentally prepared. As soon as she got back, she immediately had someone call Han Sheng over.
When Han Sheng saw his mother urgently summon him, he already knew the answer in his heart.
Lu Dangui said, "Asheng, I've received news that Yichuan has been arrested by Han Xiao's men. The most important thing now is to find a way to exonerate him. We can only make Yichuan take all the blame."
Han Sheng had been mentally prepared, but he still felt flustered and heartbroken when he heard that his son had been arrested.
Han Sheng's eyes were a little red as he said, "Mom, Yi Chuan's kidnapping of He Yuhan is a serious crime. If their weapons are confiscated, it could be a capital offense."
Lu Dangui's eyes also reddened. "Then what should we do? If you take the blame, will Yichuan be able to get away with it? He was a direct participant."
Rather than all of you being convicted, it's better to let him bear the consequences alone; that way, our losses will be smaller. If you also fall, then our second branch of the family is finished.
You must immediately set off for City C to apologize to Han Xiao. Do your utmost to shirk all responsibility and let Han Yichuan bear the blame. Whether Han Xiao believes you or not, you must make a show of remorse.
Han Sheng knew that this was the only way to minimize the losses in the current situation. Perhaps by making a show of pleading for Han Xiao's forgiveness, Han Xiao, even if he didn't believe him, would let him go out of consideration for the Han family's reputation.
Regardless, let's get through this hurdle first.
Han Sheng said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll take the train to City C today. I'll beg Han Xiao for forgiveness, no matter how humble I have to be."
Lu Dangui said, "Just think of this humiliation and hardship as a prelude to the future. As long as we get through this ordeal, we'll have other opportunities. I know you're reluctant to part with Yichuan, but you have to understand that you have to give up something to gain something. This time, we have no choice but to sacrifice Yichuan."
Han Sheng said, "I know what to do, Mom. Don't worry."
After leaving his mother's house, Han Sheng immediately went home to pack his bags and set off for City C. This time, he had no chance to back down; he could only face the challenge head-on.
Hopefully, Han Xiao will consider the Han family's reputation and not hold a grudge.
Han Xiao sent people to follow the clues and learned a lot of information. Lu Guanying and his organization did not have much influence in City C, only some intelligence personnel. After Han Xiao sent people to investigate for two more days and found nothing, they wiped out all of them, completely eliminating Lu Guanying and his forces that had been lurking in City C.
Furthermore, some useful information was obtained from the interrogation of these individuals.
Lu Guanying quickly learned of the incident involving the people in City C. He was secretly annoyed that these people had been so careless in their work, allowing themselves to be wiped out in one fell swoop—they were truly stupid.
Fortunately, they only communicate through one-way channels, so there's no need to worry about Han Xiao finding out about him.
Han Xiao learned of Han Sheng's departure for City C that very day. He sneered inwardly, wanting to see what his previously humble younger brother would say this time. He was waiting for him to walk right into his trap; once he was there, he wouldn't be going back.
No matter what, he won't hold back this time. Since his daughter-in-law is involved, his son won't let the second wife off the hook.
Han Xiao knew that his father had directly handed over much of the Han family's power to his son, and with the power his son had developed on his own, his son's strength was in no way inferior to his own. It was just that his son was very low-key and hid his abilities very well, so others did not know about them.
Han Xiao thought Han Sheng was incredibly stupid. He shouldn't have messed with He Yuhan; he was just asking for death.
He Yuhan is the apple of his son's eye. Han Sheng's attack on He Yuhan directly touched his son's sore spot, and his son will never let it go.
The information his son had gathered from the investigation in the south had been brought to him. He was truly astonished by the materials, both by Han Sheng and his men's audacity and by his son's capabilities. He had managed to uncover such a secret matter; it seemed his son had been keeping a very low profile all along.
This also shows the son's determination to deal with the second wife. The second wife has really angered the son, and this time she is doomed.
Now that Han Sheng has already set off for City C, he must know that Han Yichuan has been arrested. In that case, Han Yixian and his group no longer need to hide their whereabouts, and Han Yixian and He Zhenhua openly went to work.
Han Yixian had been enjoying his time at home with his wife and children for a while and was quite reluctant to leave. Now that he had to go back to work, he was a little sad because he wouldn't be able to see his wife and children during the day.
However, Han Yi insisted on going home for lunch as well, so he could at least see his wife and child. If his son was awake, he could hug him and chat with his wife.
He Zhenhua jokingly said that Han Yixian was a hero with short-lived ambitions, tied down by his family.
