The next day at school, Ye QiuXue didn't see HuMing anywhere.
That guy hadn't replied to her messages since last night, which left Ye QiuXue quite worried. To ease her mind, she even went to find Han YunXi.
After hearing from Han YunXi that Hu Ming was fine, she finally sighed in relief.
However, she could clearly sense that Han YunXi was hiding something from her.
Han YunXi didn't want to discuss it, and she didn't want to push her. All she hoped for was that HuMing would return to school soon.
She thought to herself: when had she ever felt lonely over someone?
Not wanting to dwell on it further, Ye QiuXue turned back toward her classroom. But the ensuing hours were devoid of joy.
The news of HuMing being taken away by the police had spread throughout the school, and many were buzzing about his actions.
The events from that day when HuMing had been on the street were even shared online, with headlines making things very clear.
After all, stories involving internet addiction schools always drew attention, and whether or not the news would be suppressed was uncertain.
The students were astonished that the person they once disdained could display such skill!
Moreover, they recognized that couple; they were the same ones who had caused a commotion at the school gate.
Some students wanted to ask Han ShuYi what was going on, but he merely smiled and replied that he had no comment.
The situation escalated quickly, but Han ShuYi was considering something else entirely.
"ShuYi!"
Li Yue hurriedly rushed up to Han ShuYi, her expression tense, as if something serious had occurred.
Seeing Li Yue, Han ShuYi immediately recalled what that person had said last night---he said that the Lee family was already falling apart, and if he continued to get close to them, it would likely be a loss for him.
Han ShuYi's initial intention in getting close to Li Yue was to absorb the Lee family's wealth. If what that guy said was true, then there was really no reason to maintain a connection with Li Yue.
Perhaps Li Yue would need to rely on him to survive.
With that thought in mind, Han ShuYi blinked, already having made a decision.
He smiled at Li Yue and gently asked, "What's wrong, Li Yue? Did something happen?"
"Um, there are too many people here. Can we talk in private? I have something important to discuss."
Upon hearing this, Han ShuYi nodded in agreement.
They walked to a nearby pavilion, where Li Yue eagerly recounted what had happened the night before.
In Li Yue's eyes, Han ShuYi was the only one who could solve this problem.
But as Han ShuYi listened to her, his expression grew increasingly grave.
He hadn't expected Lee Tian to engage in such activities behind the scenes, and more importantly, he had concealed this matter for so many years. Now that it was exposed, Lee Tian would surely find a way to bring that boy back, and by then, Li Yue would lose everything.
Lee Tian almost fooled everyone!
Fuming at this realization, Han ShuYi clenched his teeth, but he couldn't show his anger in front of Li Yue.
"This situation is not simple. Your father has gone too far, and your mother would it very difficult to make amends. If it escalates, both families will end up arguing. If a divorce is chosen, your father will have the opportunity to let that mother and son into your home."
Han ShuYi explained the potential consequences of what could happen to Li Yue.
Li Yue's expression grew troubled as she contemplated her thoughts.
Clenching her fists, she couldn't believe her life had taken such a turn.
Her father could actually do something like this...
"Li Yue, take a rest first. I need to consult my family about this, too."
"Alright."
Seeing that Han ShuYi couldn't provide any substantial answers, Li Yue felt a sense of disappointment.
Han ShuYi then stood up and headed toward the classroom.
For some reason, Li Yue felt that Han ShuYi was walking especially fast as if he couldn't wait to get away.
...
After the incident, HuMing chose not to attend school. Now, he sat in the backyard, staring at his phone.
On his phone, he saw the messages from Ye QiuXue, but he chose not to reply.
He knew that, at this point, it was best not to contact Ye QiuXue.
Han LiTian's car slowly pulled into the driveway, which didn't surprise Hu Ming.
He had anonymously sent Han LiTian all the information about Lee Tian's tax evasion over the years. No matter how close Han LiTian was to the Lee family, he had to consider whether this would impact the Han family as well.
Facing the sunlight, HuMing slowly closed his eyes.
Next, he needed to let Lee Tian know the secret of Yu YueLuo.
If the two didn't clash, he wouldn't have the opportunity to act.
However, before that, Han ShuYi should know about the Lee family's situation.
Though he wasn't sure who was behind Han ShuYi, it was clear that the other party hadn't intervened directly. Instead, they had sent Han ShuYi to deal with him, indicating that they were wary of something.
In essence, Han ShuYi was just a pawn.
He would let this pawn continue living for a while. When the time came, he would resolve everything.
"HuMing."
Han LiTian's voice sounded behind him. HuMing instinctively turned to see Han LiTian looking at him seriously.
He sat down beside HuMing and asked,
"Why did you warn me to be cautious of the Lee family last time?"
"Dad, didn't I already explain? Since Lee Tian publicly annulled the engagement at the banquet, it's natural that I harbor resentment against him. Moreover, he's a person who always acts in his own self-interest; it's not surprising that he might be doing things behind the scenes."
HuMing shrugged, appearing completely indifferent to the situation.
At first, Han LiTian doubted HuMing, as everything had happened too suddenly, more so when what HuMing said turned out to be correct!
This coincidence made Han LiTian uneasy.
But how can HuMing have to orchestrate such events?
He hardly left home and behaved normally at school. How could he have had the time to engage in such activities?
Han LiTian trusted HuMing deeply.
He patted Hu Ming on the shoulder, not intending to hide anything from him.
"Earlier at the company, I received an anonymous tip-off about Lee Tian. It detailed the money he has embezzled over the years while working with the Han family. The amount is significant, and he has also been excessively tax evading. If I submit this tip-off, the Lee family will be finished."
"However, this involves many people, and since the Lee family has an engagement with ShuYi, I'm hesitating about what to do."
Han LiTian understood that even if he didn't bring this matter up, someone else would.
What was crucial was how the Han family presented their stance in dealing with this situation.
"Then let's wait and see how many secrets the Lee family is still hiding from us. I believe the truth will come to light soon."
HuMing clasped his hands together, his expression calm.
