"The group has disbanded ever since she died but two of them, Scorpion and Spider, remained by my side," Han Yizhou continued.
"How sure are you that they are not Si Guanlin's spies?" They were in the sa group so Lu ngjie was worried that they could be working for another person.
"They will not side with him. They have always been Han Qinshan's loyal subjects."
"Han Qinshan… your father's?" She asked, looking at him in surprise.
Han Yizhou never saw that man as his father so he didn't address him as one. "They are loyal to the Han family and no one else. Even if Si Guanlin will try to recruit them, it's impossible. The Han family and Si family's elders have always been in disagreent. Once the current patriarch of the Si family dies, one of the two sons will inherit everything."
"Si Hongqi may not be the firstborn but uncle Si is already planning to give him all control,' Lu ngjie inford. It has already been decided since they were young that Si Hongqi would be the one inheriting everything, at least that was what Han Xukun told her.
The man sighed. "Do you think Si Guanlin will just allow his younger brother to inherit everything? The Si family has a strong force that could be used to overthrow the Han family's current reign in the Azure Republic. My brother and Si Hongqi are on good terms but if Si Guanlin does sothing to steal his brother's inheritance then… a war will start."
"Then are you saying that Si Guanlin could be targeting his brother?" She pursed her lips at the revelation. She knew that the brothers were never on good terms but she never thought that they would go as far as to kill each other.
Han Yizhou brought his hands together. "He's been gathering forces for years. Si Guanlin is trying to eliminate those who could be a threat to him… starting from your family, then . It will only be a matter of ti before he will finally strike his brother."
The Han family has the Lu family by their side so overthrowing the ruling family in the Azure Republic would not be easy. From what she learned in the past, there are seven great families in that past: Han, Lu, Si, Nan, Zhou, Zhang, and Murong. Because of the Murong family's ruthless ways, the other families took action with the Han family leading the war against the Murong. It was said that every mber of the Murong family was killed but that was not true since so were able to escape. Her cousin, Lu Xingyan was kidnapped by one of them during their high school days.
"We have to warn Si Hongqi." Just the thought of Si Guanlin targeting him was already enough to put her on edge. How could Si Guanlin be this cruel towards his friend and family?
Han Yizhou looked at her and sighed. He reached out and held her hand. "Do you think Si Hongqi will be clueless about his brother's plans?"
Lu ngjie's lips were stretched into a thin line. Si Hongqi was just as crafty as his brother but he was also different from Si Guanlin in many ways. If only she could do sothing to stop them from killing each other. "Even so… we need to be sure."
"Very well. If that's what you want."
Thanks to what she learned that day, Lu ngjie was slowly able to connect the dots concerning Si Guanlin. From the looks of it, Han Yizhou didn't seem to be working together with him. But what about Yong Liwei? He was the man who kidnapped her. He was working with Si Guanlin but… didn't Yong Liwei only care about Han Yizhou's well-being. Was he betraying his other self then?
In the end, Lu ngjie could only think of questions. Yong Liwei had the answers to them but she couldn't force him out to switch with Han Yizhou.
It was going to be a long day. Lu ngjie and her husband prepared for work but just before they could leave their ho, Wei Sianqi ca rushing towards the couple.
"Jiejie, Mr. Yong, I will be moving out of the place today!"
"Already?" She blinked a few tis. "Have you inford my brother?"
"Yes!" She exclaid rrily. "He will be picking up later!"
Lu ngjie ended up blinking a few tis in surprise. She knew how lazy her brother was. No one would be able to force him out of his place except… money.
"Where are you going to live?" Han Yizhou asked in wonder. He wasn't inford about her move out from his place. "Are you going back to your dorm?"
"No. I'm going to a better place!" Wei Sianqi grinned happily. "By the way, Mr. Han, you said last ti that I can use this card however I want to, right?" She showed him the black credit card he owned.
Lu ngjie's eyes widened when she saw the card. It was one of the rarest after all. The only ti she saw a similar card was with her father, her uncle Lu Yifeng, Han Xukun, and her cousin, Lu llo. Even Si Hongqi didn't have that card! No wonder Wei Sianqi didn't have a problem with money when her brother gave an expensive rate for renting a room in his place! This schemy girl was using her husband's money!
"By last ti…" It was during the ti when Han Yizhou saved Wei Sianqi from committing suicide. "Yes, you can have that."
"Sweet! Thanks, Mr. Yong! You're the best!" Wei Sianqi happily exclaid.
"You're seriously giving THAT?" Lu ngjie eyed the Platinum card.
"Yes."
"She's going to live with my brother." aning, money would always be spent every day. It was not just a small amount. It could reach millions! Aside from that, knowing that Xia Liqin was going to co to pick her up ant that… she paid him.
"It's hot so I plan on visiting the beach! I'm going to invite Gege! We should go to the beach while it's still my sumr vacation, Jiejie!"
Han Yizhou's face darkened and the temperature in the room dropped.
"Brr…" Wei Sianqi shivered. She averted her eyes from the cold glare she was receiving from the man before her. She rubbed her arms at the sudden chills she felt. "Why did it suddenly beco cold?"
