Chapter 387 The bigger the commotion, the better
Looking at Han Ming, who still couldn't accept reality, Han Yi leaned back in his armchair and gave a nonchalant smirk.
His second brother has really gotten worse over the years.
No wonder Xiu Jin had her completely under his thumb.
But this is good, let them make a scene, the bigger the better. The Han family has been peaceful for so many years, it's about time they made some noise.
Han Yi picked up his teacup and took a sip. The rising steam obscured the fleeting ambition in his eyes.

The police investigated the whole story of the wire accident in just three days.
Wu Zhongquan was already in prison, while at the Han family's old residence, two policemen arrived early in the morning with summons warrants, specifically asking for Han Shiyu.
Fortunately, Mr. Han had gone to visit his old comrade-in-arms early that day and was not at home.
At that time, there were only Han Ming, Shen Ruyan, Han Chunxi, and Yang Miao and her daughter.
Han Ming said with a stern face that Han Shiyu was not there.
Police demanded that Han Shiyu be summoned back to China immediately to cooperate with the investigation, otherwise they would work with Interpol to forcibly recall her.
After the police left, Han Ming's face was as black as could be.
Shen Ruyan and the others finally realized that the huge wire stunt accident that had been going on recently was actually related to Han Shiyu.
Han Chunxi's face turned extremely ugly, let alone Shen Ruyan's.
"Even after going abroad, he's still restless. At such a young age, he dares to hurt his own fate. He's truly vicious!"
"Who are you calling vicious?" Before anyone could speak, Han Ming couldn't take it anymore.
Shen Ruyan was taken aback, then her anger flared up: "I told you, Han Shiyu has been wicked since she was a child, and someone should have taught her a lesson long ago!"
"So what if Shiyu is young and doesn't know her limits? You're all her elders, why can't you stand to see her doing well?!"
"Han Ming! Be reasonable! If you hadn't spoiled Han Shiyu without any principles all these years, would she have become the person she is now?!"
Han Ming's face darkened: "Shiyu is well-behaved and sensible. What's wrong with me, as an elder, indulging her a little?"
"What's wrong? She dared to kill someone, so what do you mean by 'what's wrong'?!"
"The person isn't dead, why are you making such a big deal out of it!"
"...Han Ming! You...."
Shen Ruyan never expected Han Ming to say such a thing.
"You, you're hopeless!"
Han Ming waved his hand dismissively: "It's none of your business!"
Leaving a table full of people behind, Han Ming stormed out with a grim face.
Behind her, Shen Ruyan turned pale with anger and almost collapsed to the ground.
It was Han Chunxi who quickly caught her and helped her up, which helped her recover.
"Second Aunt, don't worry too much. If Second Uncle won't listen to advice, just let him be. He'll regret it sooner or later."
Shen Ruyan looked pained: "I'm not worried about him, I'm heartbroken for my Lili. Why does she always have to suffer like this!"
Han Chunxi: "......."

President's Office at the Headquarters of Han's Group.
Han Xi had just finished a multinational video conference when Lin Mo hurriedly knocked on the door and entered: "Boss, Chairman Han is downstairs."
The pen nib bleeds ink onto the document, leaving a blot.
Han Xi closed the folder and said coldly, "Stop them."
"I'm afraid we can't stop them..."
Before Lin Mo could finish speaking, the office door was violently pushed open.
Han Ming, dressed in a suit and tie, stood in the doorway, his eyes blazing with fury: "You're going to send your own sister to prison for an outsider?!"
Han Xi's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to signal Lin Mo to step back.
After Lin Mo closed the door and left, he slowly screwed on his pen cap, looked up, and said, "Wu Zhongquan has confessed. The evidence chain is complete that Han Shiyu instructed him to cause the accident. Han Shiyu committed a crime and should be punished."
Han Ming slammed his hand on the desk: "That's your sister!"
"She's just my cousin, and she's adopted."
"you.......!"
Han Ming's face was filled with disbelief.
Han Xi smiled dismissively, his eyes turning cold as he said, "All these years you've been calling her 'little sister,' just to get me to acknowledge Han Shiyu's identity. But Father, have you forgotten that Han Shiyu is merely a child adopted by my third uncle? She's not even a biological cousin. Why should I acknowledge her?"
The air suddenly solidified.
Han Ming's face turned ashen: "All these years, Shi Yu has been so good to you, don't you have even a little bit of feeling for her?!"
"That's why I've tolerated her until today."
Han Xi stood up, his gaze sharp as a blade, "But Fang Li is my bottom line, and my tolerance has its limits."
"........"
The father and son faced off across the distance, while dark clouds swept across the sky from the floor-to-ceiling windows, gradually pressing down on the city, signaling the approaching downpour.
After a long silence, Han Xi raised his hand and pressed the intercom.
"Lin Mo, please ask Chairman Han to leave."
"you!"
Han Ming stared at Han Xi with an unpleasant expression, while Han Xi had already recovered and was sitting behind his desk, calmly processing the documents in his hands.
The next moment, Lin Mo entered: "Chairman Han, please."
Seeing Han Xi's unwavering resolve, Han Ming laughed angrily, "Fine, so you don't want to show any fatherly affection anymore? In that case, I'm going abroad to find Shi Yu right now. Go ahead and arrest me and her if you dare!"
The office door slammed shut, and silence returned.
A few minutes later, Lin Mo returned.
"Boss, Chairman Han has left."
Han Xi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the black Mercedes speed away from the Han family building. He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose with a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Let him be. Let the people abroad keep an eye on Han Shiyu, and bring her back if necessary."
"Yes."
As soon as Lin Mo stepped outside, a torrential downpour began outside the window.
Looking at the curtain of water cascading down between heaven and earth, Han Xi's expression darkened, and he stood motionless by the window for a long time.

Fang Li finished early in the afternoon and returned to the Half-Mountain Manor early.
After dinner, she went back to her study to work for a while. Just as she finished her conference call with Wen Yang, there was a knock on the door.
Aunt Rong respectfully announced, "Madam, the lady has arrived."
Fang Li was taken aback, then quickly put down her computer and got up to leave.
When she ran downstairs in her bathrobe, she saw Shen Ruyan sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing an elegant pearl gray cheongsam and her hair neatly tied up. She was still the same person as before, but there was an unusual weariness in her eyes.
"mom?"
Fang Li was somewhat surprised, "Why did you suddenly..."
When she arrived, Shen Ruyan gently took her hand, her voice soft but apologetic: "Lili, Mom is here to apologize to you."
Fang Li's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly sat down next to her, personally handing her a teacup.
Shen Ruyan took the teacup but didn't drink it. She simply held it in her palm and sighed softly, saying, "I know everything about Shiyu."
Fang Li's eyes flickered slightly, she pursed her lips, and did not reply.
“That girl is spoiled and has done something so outrageous. The Han family has wronged you.”
Shen Ruyan put down her teacup and took out a velvet box from her handbag. "I know that saying anything now will be of no use. It is an indisputable fact that the two children in the crew were injured. I have already instructed Anqi to provide the two children with appropriate compensation anonymously."
"As for this, consider it a small token of my appreciation from Mom."
