All of you are blind, unable to see my worth. You only see that foolish woman, Lin Wan.

It’s fine if you can’t see my worth. One day, I’ll make you all look at me with new eyes. I’ll make every one of you regret it."

Han Yi watched Ye Qing talking to herself like a madwoman, the darkness in his cold eyes growing deeper, with no intention of interrupting her.

With a stern face, he turned to leave. Seeing him about to go, Ye Qing suddenly snapped back to clarity, hastily saying, "You can’t lock me up. If I suddenly disappear in broad daylight, Mei Langchi will definitely look for me. If he can’t find me, he’ll surely call the police."

"He wants to kill you, are you sure he’ll still be that concerned about you? I’m not trying to discourage you, but when you disappear while he’s not at home, given his personality, he’ll simply say you had a mental breakdown and ran away. Oh... you’re right, he’ll definitely look for you. He’ll pretend to be worried in front of others, then come back in despair, lock himself in a room for a few days in ’decadence,’ and then carry on living as usual. He might even claim your child has gone missing or suddenly fallen ill. Then for the next two or three years, he’ll indulge in being seen as a good man caring for his wife and child. Conveniently, he’ll take over your factory as well. Do you think he’d do this?"

"Han Yi, I beg you, let me go. I swear to the heavens that I’ll never appear in your or Lin Wan’s sight again, please let me go. I’ll take my child and move far away, find a small town to live in. I was wrong, I was really wrong. Please, don’t lock me up here. I still have a child and my mom’s about to be released from prison. She’s old and needs my care. I’m begging you."

"Huh, your ability to change your face to gain sympathy is really fast." Han Yi glanced at her mockingly, turned, and left the room, locking it from the outside, completely unmoved by Ye Qing’s pleading.

He handed the key to Chen Haichang’s two underlings, instructing them to keep an eye on her. He specifically told them not to talk much with Ye Qing.

After Han Yi came out of Ye Qing’s place, he didn’t go directly to Mei Langchi’s siheyuan but went to find Chen Haichang instead.

Chen Haichang had been out running around all morning. He’d gathered some valuable information too.

"There’s a guy close to Mei Langchi, and my men indirectly learned from him that Mei Langchi has been secretly dealing in selling permits and organized a big exhibition at the end of last year to make a significant amount of money. I attended the exhibition, never thought he was the one organizing it. He sure knows how to keep things hidden. He met quite a number of people at that exhibition, so now he’s familiar with high-level people as well as petty riffraff. And those two truck drivers, they originally worked for two factories at the exhibition. Naturally, they’re the type that only works sporadically and were easily bribed by Mei Langchi without considering the consequences."

"How much did he pay them to risk their lives?"

"That, we haven’t figured out. The families of the two truck drivers don’t know what they were up to either. They all said the drivers claimed they had to work overtime at the factory last night. But according to their factory supervisor, that wasn’t the case at all.

This morning, the police went to question the truck driver. He claimed he was just trying to do some side jobs using the factory’s truck. He insisted he was driving normally, but it was your two cars that crashed into each other, causing him to suddenly veer and crash into them.

He even claimed he was the most innocent party."

"Is that driver still in the hospital?" Han Yi clearly didn’t believe his story.

"He’s still in the hospital... How are things on your end?"

"Confessed, saying Mei Langchi wanted us dead along with him, suspected of orchestrating this accident. The evidence is in Mei Langchi’s study at the siheyuan."

"With something like this happening, Mei Langchi will definitely destroy the evidence immediately."

"Regardless of whether it’s destroyed, I’ll go over tonight to check things out."

"Your arm is injured; if you go alone and he discovers you, you’ll be at a disadvantage."

"Just one Mei Langchi, I could handle him even with a leg injury." Han Yi didn’t take Mei Langchi seriously at all.

In the afternoon, he went directly to the hospital. Initially planning to find that truck driver, he didn’t expect the driver, feeling guilty, to discharge himself even before his injuries were properly healed after lunch.

Well, being discharged makes it easier to track him down.
