Today was supposed to be a golden opportunity for the Han family to rise to prominence, but unexpectedly, Zhang Tao came with his men and brought up the tragic case of the Sun family 25 years ago.
He thought everything would be fine because he was confident that he had erased all traces and that no clues could be found.
But I never expected that.
Sun Ruoli is still alive.
She was clearly given poison back then, how could she have survived?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Mr. Han, you seem quite nervous. Did you remember something?" Zhang Tao asked deliberately.
"No, how could that be? I just couldn't accept it for a moment. I didn't expect Ruoli to still be alive, so I'm just a little happy." Han Yan still wanted to struggle a bit and refused to admit it.
"Yes, it's really hard to accept. After all, the tragedy of the Sun family was a painful thing for you, and your wife died in an accident at the time. Now, suddenly hearing that there is still a relative alive, it's natural that you can't accept it so quickly. I understand how you feel."
"..."
Han Yan looked at Zhang Tao speechlessly. How could he not understand what Zhang Tao was implying?
I just wanted to tell him to hurry up and admit that you did it. There's a witness still alive. Don't try to deny it; it's useless.
But Han Yan quickly regained his composure.
He had just lost his composure upon hearing that Sun Ruoli was still alive, but then he thought that Sun Ruoli didn't know the whole story, so even if she was still alive, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Sun Ruoli was among the first to die, so she wouldn't know what happened to the Sun family afterwards. The evidence Zhang Tao obtained was probably only a rough estimate and not enough to actually convict him.
Anyway, we can just deny it when the time comes.
Thinking of this, Han Yan returned to his previous demeanor, looking at Zhang Tao without changing his expression, and smiled: "Yes, I am very happy that Ruoli is still alive. I always thought that no one from the Sun family was alive. I didn't expect that she was still alive. To tell you the truth, all these years, I have been searching for this clue, trying to find out who the murderer is. Moreover, I have not forgotten to see if I can find my relatives from back then."
"I never expected that Director Zhang would actually help me find it. I really don't know how to express my gratitude. I want to thank you properly."
"..."
Zhang Tao was stunned. Han Yan was indeed a cunning old fox. His recovery ability was too strong. Moreover, although he was old, his reaction speed had not declined. He must think that the evidence he had obtained was only a rough estimate and not enough to determine responsibility.
Unfortunately, Han Yan, that old fox, never anticipated how much evidence Han Yan was carrying this time.
Zhang Tao smiled and said, "Forget about the thanks. This is part of our job. We also brought Sun Ruoli along. It's been so long since you two have seen each other. I'm sure you have a lot to talk about."
"Of course," Han Yan said with a smile, though he gritted his teeth inwardly.
"Inspector Han, please bring Sun Ruoli here."
"good."
Han Zhiruo, who had been listening quietly to the side, nodded, glanced at Han Yan, and then turned and left.
Han Yan waited there expressionlessly.
She was thinking about how to face Sun Ruoli when she saw her later.
If she really knows something, then he's finished.
If you don't know, then bring her back. On the surface, it's to take care of her, but in reality, it's to imprison her.
If things aren't going well, then just disappear.
Han Zhiruo returned quickly.
She walked slowly, supporting an elderly and weathered woman.
Her clothes had been changed and there was no smell at all. Even her messy hair had been trimmed, and she looked much cleaner.
But her face looked unusually weathered, like that of a woman in her sixties or seventies.
She is actually not that old.
It's only in the forties.
When Han Yan finally saw Sun Ruoli, he was completely puzzled.
After looking her over for a while, he finally confirmed that the woman, who was older than him, was indeed Sun Ruoli.
Sun Ruoli naturally saw Han Yan as well.
The moment she saw Han Yan, she gave him a hateful look and stared at him fiercely.
If Han Zhiruo hadn't found her, she wouldn't be here.
Upon hearing that Han Yan actually wanted to marry Han Zhiqing to someone he didn't like, Sun Ruoli couldn't sit still any longer and immediately agreed.
Over the years, she had been keeping an eye on her sister's daughter. She was heartbroken to learn that her daughter was not doing well, but she was powerless to help. Han Yan's strength was no longer what it used to be.
If she were to file a complaint, it would be in vain, and she might even lose her life.
It doesn't matter that she died, but it's pitiful that so many innocent members of the Sun family were killed without being able to seek justice.
Over the years, she had carried this mission on her shoulders, waiting for an opportunity. She had resigned herself to her fate and thought the matter would end there, but unexpectedly, Han Zhiruo came looking for her.
They even brought Zhang Tao, the director of the Supervision Bureau, along.
Sun Ruoli naturally knew who Zhang Tao was. His strength was enough to defeat Han Yan. With Zhang Tao's help, Sun Ruoli arrived here.
"Ruoli, how have you been all these years?" Han Yan asked, feigning concern.
"Han Yan, don't try to get close to me. In your heart, you probably wish I would die sooner, don't you?" Sun Ruoli's tone was icy. Her current aged appearance was all thanks to Han Yan.
She felt only hatred towards Han Yan.
"Ruoli, I am still your brother-in-law. We haven't seen each other for so many years. I have been looking for you and searching for the murderer from back then. Have you misunderstood me?"
"Hehe, hahaha, what a huge joke, Han Yan, keep pretending. The tragedy of the Sun family was caused by you, and you still have the nerve to say such things. I really don't know how my sister ever fell for you."
When her sister was mentioned, Sun Ruoli showed a pained expression, and her eyes reddened.
That silly older sister is no longer here.
"Ruoli, I think you really misunderstood me. I'm glad you're still alive, but you can't think that I'm alive because of what I did. What reason would I have to do those things?"
Sun Ruoli's gaze grew even colder: "Han Yan, do you think that because I died the earliest back then, I don't know much, which is why you're confident enough to continue making excuses?"
Upon hearing Sun Ruoli's words, Han Yan immediately sensed something was wrong.
Before she could speak, Sun Ruoli continued, "Do you think I don't know anything? I know everything, and I know it all clearly. You had the habit of taking notes back then. Don't think that just because you threw your notes into the stove back then, you'll be fine."
Han Yan dared not speak.
His face was terribly gloomy.
Indeed, he really enjoyed taking notes back then, writing almost every day. Moreover, at that time, he also recorded in detail all the things he needed to do. But he had clearly thrown them into the furnace, so how could Sun Ruoli have gotten them?
Could it be!
He recalled that night when Sun Ruoyu asked him to drink his medicine. To avoid arousing Sun Ruoyu's suspicion, he didn't check carefully whether the medicine had finished burning before drinking it.
