Qiu Chunli was brought back to the police station by public security, and she was not doing well at all.
She never expected things to get so serious.
Before, she always thought that Second Brother would definitely help her if something happened, but now Second Brother probably wouldn’t forgive her.
Thinking of what happened back then, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she shivered while leaning against the door.
Perhaps she was too focused and didn’t notice there was someone lying in the corner over there.
That person saw her and suddenly spoke: "Hey, what did you do to end up here?"
The voice startled Qiu Chunli, and she blurted out: "Who are you, trying to scare me to death."
The person sat up: "This is my territory, you come in without even greeting me, and then you blame me for scaring you. You really have some nerve."
Qiu Chunli wasn’t in the mood to argue with her, so she leaned against the wall silently, just wanting to get out of there as soon as possible.
On the other side, Su Jingsong returned to the sanatorium and gently knocked on the study door.
Han Jingchen’s voice came from inside the room: "Come in."
Su Jingsong pushed the door open: "Mr. Han, the matter has been handled."
Han Jingchen was practicing calligraphy without looking up: "Make a call to that side, I want to see Qiu Chunli."
Upon hearing Han Jingchen’s words, Su Jingsong’s face was full of worry, but he still replied: "Understood."
Han Jingchen finished writing the last large character, then put down the pen. Some things must be faced, even if the result might be excruciatingly painful.
He took a cloth folder out of his coat pocket and opened it to reveal an old photograph. The edges of the photo were somewhat worn, and Han Jingchen looked at the woman in the photo tenderly: "Wanqing, I promise you, I won’t let anyone who hurt you and your daughter get away with it."
Those people who forced them into a corner years ago for the Gu Family estate had already been dealt with by Han Jingchen, one by one, ending in bitter outcomes. Don’t say he’s ruthless; it was those people who first lost their humanity and moral bottom line.
It was also they who, driven by their selfish desires, caused him to be separated from the woman he loved to this day, prevented him from even seeing his daughter, but he’s always believed that they are waiting for him somewhere.
Throughout these years, no matter who advised him to start a new family, he always refused directly, and after a while, everyone stopped mentioning it.
When they arrived, the arrangements over there were ready.
Qiu Chunli stood up excitedly when she saw Han Jingchen enter: "Second Brother, you’ve finally come."
Han Jingchen looked at her with disdain and sternly said: "Don’t call me Second Brother, you don’t deserve it."
Qiu Chunli’s excitement on her face froze before she could retract it: "Second Brother, I, you all promised at Dad’s sickbed to take care of me for life."
Han Jingchen sat down with a composed face: "Where do you get the nerve to bring up the old man?"
This one sentence made Qiu Chunli’s face change several times, but she still argued: "Second Brother, even if I’m not a child of the Han Family, I was raised by you guys. You can’t just ignore me."
Han Jingchen sneered aloud: "Yes, the Old Man really was blind to have raised such an ungrateful person like you."
Qiu Chunli still wanted to take a gamble, pretending not to understand: "Second Brother, how can you say that about me?"
Han Jingchen didn’t want to watch her perform anymore: "Speak now, what did you do to Wanqing and her daughter back then?"
Upon hearing the question, Qiu Chunli’s face instantly turned pale, stammering: "Se-Second Brother, what are you talking about?"
Han Jingchen looked at her coldly: "Do you think I would come to you without evidence? You’d better tell the truth, or don’t blame me for being merciless. You know my temperament well."
