Chapter Fifty-Four: The Truth Emerges

  "Xue Er, Ya Tou, Jing Er, are you two still angry? Daddy knows that you both suffered a grievance today, so I've come especially to keep you company and have a good talk. It's been a long time since the three of us had a heart-to-heart conversation."

  Han Feng's gentle and soft demeanor was still evident as he sat across from the two daughters, showing a good attitude. Previously, in front of everyone, he could admit his mistakes, and now that they were alone with no outsiders around, it was even less embarrassing to put aside his pride.

  After what happened just now, plus a sentence from his sister after returning home, Han Jing's mind was even more calm and composed.

  He took over the conversation with a serious expression and said: "Father has always been kind to us in his heart, this is something that Xue Er and I are very clear about, so we won't be angry with you. My sister and I have grown up, who truly cares for us, who is hypocritical, it's all clear in our hearts. Moreover, no matter what, we are members of the Han family, and as a person, we should have the necessary boundaries and bottom line, so Father doesn't need to worry that we will make any trouble because of this."

  A few words that were both sentimental and reasonable, and also comprehensive, made Han Feng take a second look at his son.

  He must admit that the changes and progress of a pair of children in these days are extremely obvious, so the feeling of relief is even more natural.

  Just as I was about to praise him with a few words, my son spoke up again.

  "Father, originally my sister and I were going to come find you tomorrow to discuss an important matter. Since you're here now, it's better to seize the day. Here are some important documents that my sister had prepared earlier, please take a look first. The things written on them are of great importance and concern the rise and fall of our Han family."

  As soon as he heard the Korean wind, his expression suddenly became serious. Seeing that his eldest son was not joking, his daughter on the side also nodded in agreement. At this time, he didn't ask much and directly stretched out his hand to take over those papers and looked at them carefully.

  As he saw the content, Han Feng's face became increasingly gloomy, and in the end, it almost completely darkened. This record showed that over the years, many of the Han family's elite descendants had encountered various unexpected events, which were not truly accidental, but rather man-made!

  Although not exhaustive, every single one that has been written has extremely sufficient evidence, fully explaining that those so-called accidents are all carefully designed conspiracies, and someone is secretly harming the Han family.

  Han Feng was furious and flustered, no wonder so many years had repeatedly appeared many unexpected events that made the Han family lose many talented people. It turned out that everything was someone secretly targeting the Han family. He was really muddled and useless, such a big thing had never been suspected, and let the Han family lose so many talents!

  "How despicable! What kind of person is so vicious, daring to design such a scheme to harm the Han family?" Han Feng slammed his fist on the table, and his pent-up anger suddenly erupted.

  Han Feng's anger was of course perfectly normal, but in Han Jiang Xue's eyes it was still far from enough.

  The fact is before his eyes, and Han Feng will no longer have any doubts about this matter itself. At this moment, in addition to anger and deep hatred for the person who poisoned him, he was also extremely shocked by how a pair of children knew all this.

  "Jing Er, Xue Er, how did you know about these things? And where did this evidence come from?" Han Feng wasn't that he didn't believe his children, but this matter was of great importance, and many things had to be asked clearly.

  The origin of the evidence, Han Xue had already mentioned to Han Jing privately, but also did not elaborate in detail. However, Han Jing was extremely respectful of his sister and knew that her current actions must have had their reasons, so he didn't ask too many questions either.

  Before Father arrived, the brother and sister had already discussed their words in advance, so this matter was taken care of by Han Jingyi alone.

  "Does Father still remember the time when my sister was knocked off her horse and fainted by Li Xingming?" Han Jing said: "Actually, before that incident, I saw it clearly, Li Xingming really didn't do it on purpose. However, because I took action to teach him a lesson, my sister didn't speak out about it openly, letting Li Xingming take the blame and saving me from trouble. In fact, someone had tampered with Li Xingming's horse that time, intentionally trying to harm my sister. Of course, they also calculated me into their plan, taking advantage of my impulsive nature."

  "That time, it wasn't just my sister who went through the Ghost Gate, if she hadn't rushed to stop me in time despite being injured, I'm afraid I would have gotten into big trouble too, and who knows what would have happened. That's why afterwards we've been trying to find out who was behind the scenes."

  At this point, Han Jing paused slightly and looked at his sister with a somewhat emotional tone: "Unexpectedly, after investigating for so many years, we found that in our Han family, there have been many unexpected events involving descendants over the past decade or so. Coincidences don't mean much, especially since they were spread out over such a long period of time. What's strange is that every time an accident occurred, it was always to some of the more important and special people in our Han family. This naturally led us to be suspicious."

  Later, I secretly asked Qingmu to investigate some accidents that were relatively close by, and indeed found many suspicious points again, almost completely pointing out that these things were man-made rather than accidental. Originally, I wanted to continue investigating, but my sister was right, this matter involved too much and wasn't something I could control on my own. Continuing to investigate alone would not only be difficult to find concrete evidence to expose the mastermind behind the scenes, but also risk scaring them off and making things worse, so that's why I quickly reported the situation to Father.

  Han Jing's words are reasonable and rational. If such a thing were to be said without any basis, it would not have caught Han Feng's attention, but rather might have led to accusations of being muddle-headed. Now, with this degree of careful consideration and thorough investigation, it is absolutely the most cautious and mature approach.

  So after hearing this, Han Feng nodded repeatedly and was full of praise for his eldest son, while also being delighted with his son's progress and abilities.

  "Good, very good, you siblings have really done a great deed this time! I'm ashamed as your father, all these years I never had any suspicions about these things, I really am..."

  Han Feng is truly extremely self-reproachful. If he had realized it earlier, the Han family would not have lost so many talented people and his own children would not have been harmed. Thinking about it now is truly terrifying.

  Seeing his father like this, Han Jiangxue naturally understood what was on Han Feng's mind, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "Father, apart from these things in the future, today's affairs have also made it clear that there is a mastermind behind the scenes who set up a trap to harm my elder brother. That big account is just a scapegoat, otherwise, how could a small servant like him have the audacity to falsely accuse my elder brother?"

  Seeing her father nod in agreement, Han Jiangxue continued: "Putting all these things together, who could have understood our Han family so well over the years and done such a thorough job of harming us in every way? I ask you, Father, how many people have this ability and these conditions? Probably not many, right?"

  She didn't directly point out Liu's suspicion, but the fact is clear. The person who has been secretly plotting against the Han family for years must not be an outsider, and their status is not low. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to reach so far and so accurately without being detected by anyone.

  Han Feng heard his daughter's words, and for a moment, his heart was even more furious, yet at the same time, it was also extremely complicated.

  The children are right, and they all make sense. Connecting the front and back, it's not hard to hear who the daughter suspects, and understand that the children's suspicions aren't completely baseless. However, in his heart, he can't believe that the person who harmed the Han family is Liu Shi, after all, in his opinion, Liu Shi has absolutely no motive to harm the Han family.

  "Sister said it well, over the years, so many things have happened in the Han family, but they were all covered up. This person is not simple." Han Jing continued to clarify: "This is not just a crime of harming the Han family's descendants, but a conspiracy against the Han family. The loss of talented people in the Han family will directly affect the rise and fall of the entire Han family. If we don't quickly expose this sinister and ruthless person, I'm afraid my Han family will have a difficult road ahead! So no matter who is behind the scenes, please father must secretly investigate to the end, and cannot be lenient in the slightest!"

  Han Jing saw that his father was extremely angry, but when his sister mentioned the black hand behind the scenes, he had a hesitant and indecisive look on his face. He couldn't help but remind him in a loud voice that no matter who it was, for the sake of the Han family, their father shouldn't have such a woman's benevolence.

  "Jing Er, Xue Er, Father believes everything you say, but it seems to me that you are suspecting your mother, this might be a misunderstanding!"

  "Your mother, how could she possibly harbor malicious intentions towards the Han family? After all, if our Han family is not good, it would be of no benefit to her either. She has been married into the Han family for so many years, and has given birth to children for the Han family. Even if she hasn't made any contributions, she has certainly worked hard. Even if she doesn't care about herself, she should think about the children. Where is it possible for her to ruin her own future? As a father, I think that even if she has done something not quite right in the past, or even made some mistakes, but no matter what, it's absolutely impossible for her to have any intention of harming the Han family."

  Han Feng's words directly expressed his trust in Liu, and for him, a couple who had been married for over a decade still understood each other to some extent.

  Moreover, Mrs. Liu is the mistress of the Han family, and the Han family's honor and shame are tied together with hers, so how could she possibly do something that would destroy her own foundation?
