Han Jin had always admired Han Muchuan’s intelligence during this time.
Previously, he had always been proud of his own intelligence, but after spending some time with Han Muchuan, he realized that Muchuan was much smarter than himself.
That was also the reason why he eventually reconciled with Han Muchuan and they supported each other as father and son.
He nodded and asked Han Muchuan, "Xiao Chuan, what are you planning to do?"
Even if they were certain that Meng Chuyue had the Mustard Space, without concrete evidence, it was all useless.
They couldn’t make it public, let alone report it to the police.
That would be worse than not pursuing it at all.
In that case, they wouldn’t gain any advantage from the space, unlike now where Meng Chuyue at least supplied them with space fruits.
Han Muchuan shook his head, "I don’t know, but I do know that we need to keep causing trouble in order to obtain concrete evidence from the space."
"How do we cause trouble?"
Causing trouble wasn’t difficult, the problem was, they couldn’t afford to fall out with Han Zheng and Meng Chuyue, right?
"There are many ways; I want to bring everyone who might offend them right in front of them. I want to see what they’ll do. Oh right, Dad, since those high-quality fruits are space fruits, let’s not sell them anymore. Try to eat more of them ourselves, make them into food or beverages if you can’t handle eating them raw. Especially those big ones or those specifically given to you to eat—those absolutely shouldn’t be cheapened by giving them to others."
At this point, a thought flashed through the minds of Han Jin and Han Muchuan: Actually, Han Zheng and Meng Chuyue were very good to Han Jin, often sending him good things like space medicinal materials and space fruits... they gave a lot.
They used to be very grateful.
Now, deep down, they knew they had to be grateful.
They knew that if they were Meng Chuyue, they would have kept the matter of the space a secret from everyone too.
It’s just, reason is reason.
Now that they wanted the Mustard Space, those reasons no longer held.
Han Jin readily agreed, "Okay, leave these matters to me. You focus on those issues."
Han Muchuan had a rough outline of a grand plan in his mind, but was at a loss where to start until he saw Zhao Qingya, who was poor and in a bad state.
He immediately went back to consult with Han Jin.
Upon hearing they would pretend to be a couple with Zhao Qingya, Han Jin was a bit dumbfounded, "Do we really have to go this route? I don’t like her, how about you help me find a stranger instead?"
Besides, Zhao Qingya was so scheming, he worried about not being able to get rid of her.
"It’s just a pretense, what are you worried about? And now she has no backing, we know her well, easy to handle. To find a stranger, what if she has some relative behind her, then we would really be in trouble."
Thus, Han Jin was persuaded by Han Muchuan.
He nodded helplessly, "Alright, I’ll follow your arrangements, but do you think she will agree?"
"She probably will, she’s in a dire state now, not just penniless, but also ill with gastric cancer. We promise to take her to see Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci for treatment, she will likely agree."
"Alright, go and try."
Zhao Qingya looked extremely haggard now.
When Han Muchuan showed up at her door with a bag of high-quality fruits, she was extremely surprised.
But her temperament was still the same; she sneered, "Are you here to mock me, or can’t you wait for me to slowly die and want to infuriate me to death?"
She owed Han Muchuan favors too, as they had been as close as mother and son in the past; she never thought there would come a day .
Han Muchuan placed the fruits in front of her, peeled an orange and handed it to Zhao Qingya, smiling as he said, "No, I’m here for your help, to collaborate on something. Don’t be too quick to refuse, try these fruits first. They were cultivated by Meng Chuyue and are absolutely beneficial for your health."
Zhao Qingya wasn’t worried that Han Muchuan would poison her, so she took the orange with curiosity and tasted it.
She had eaten these exorbitantly priced high-quality fruits before when she had been in Imperial.
