'As expected! My previous speculation was correct, Huo Qichen is the true culprit behind everything.'
'That bastard actually made me suffer so much!!!'
'I must take revenge, I will make Huo Qichen pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold.'
'I want the entire Huo family... to feel pain!!!'
…..
After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Su Qingge confirmed her previous speculation, making a final conclusion.
The reason she became a vegetative patient—the true culprit—was Huo Qichen.
Thinking back to the utter despair she felt when she became a vegetative patient…
Raging flames of anger ignited in Su Qingge's beautiful eyes. She decided to add another target for revenge... the Huo family.
At this moment!
A warmth spread through the girl's palm, making her look up in surprise.
It turned out to be Lin Xuan, who had suddenly crouched down and held her hand.
"Qingge, trust me."
"I won't let anyone who hurt you go. Within half a month, the Huo family will definitely go bankrupt."
"I will make Huo Qichen lose everything he is proud of and regret it for the rest of his life."
"......"
Lin Xuan's tone was gentle yet firm, as if he were talking about something as simple as eating or drinking water.
Ah… this?!
Making the Huo family go bankrupt within half a month?
Su Qingge widened her eyes, doubting that she had heard correctly.
Although she had confidence in Lin Xuan's abilities and could feel his sincere concern, it was still hard to believe that he could make the Huo family bankrupt in just half a month.
The Huo family had been rooted in Magic City for years. It was not easy to shake their position, let alone make them go bankrupt…
Even the plan Su Qingge had thought of earlier was only to use Su Fan as a pawn to fight against the Huo family in a battle of attrition.
This would take at least a few years.
But Lin Xuan actually said he could do it in half a month?!
"Do you believe me?"
Faced with Lin Xuan's sincere eyes, Su Qingge opened her mouth but ultimately nodded silently.
She didn't know why…
Even though it sounded absurd, Su Qingge couldn't help but choose to believe this man in front of her.
Regardless of anything else, he had spent so much time investigating the truth behind her vegetative state without her even knowing.
Just for this alone, Su Qingge was already deeply moved, feeling warmth spread through her whole body.
Anyway, it was just half a month. What reason did she have not to trust Lin Xuan?
On the hospital bed.
Hearing his so-called brother-in-law's bold statement, Su Fan was full of disbelief.
When he previously heard that the culprit behind his sister's condition was Huo Qichen, he was instantly furious.
The Huo family?
Why is it that damned Huo family again???
Originally, the fact that they had repeatedly opposed him, along with the matter of Mu Xiaowan, had already made him decide to wipe out the Huo family.
Now, adding his little sister's grievance to the list, all the old and new hatred combined—it felt like wiping out the Huo family a hundred times over wouldn't be enough to quench his rage!!!
Su Fan had originally made up his mind that, no matter what, he would make the Huo family drown in blood today.
But who would have thought…
Lin Xuan proposed a half-month agreement to his sister?! Could this guy be fooling her?
He knew the Huo family's situation well; making them go bankrupt was incredibly difficult. Honestly, it would be faster if he just stormed into the Huo residence and started a bloody massacre instead…
"Brother Su Fan, I have a request to make."
"Hmm? Speak freely!"
Su Fan was suddenly pulled from his thoughts by Lin Xuan's voice and looked up in confusion.
…..
"I know that Huo Qichen has offended you before, Brother Su Fan. Given your personality, you are most likely already planning your revenge."
"But now, after confirming that he dared to harm my wife... it's unforgivable!"
"Therefore, I want to personally destroy the Huo family and let Huo Qichen experience the pain of losing everything."
"So, I hope that within the next half-months, you can hold back and give me a chance to take revenge on the Huo family myself. I want to personally avenge Qingge."
…..
So, everything Lin Xuan has done has been to avenge me?
Su Qingge's nose tingled unconsciously.
A soft spot in her heart was touched once again.
In the past, whenever she thought of revenge, she always thought about relying on her own strength to make her enemies pay with their blood.
But now, there was a man smiling at her, telling her not to worry and that he would seek justice for her.
This feeling of being carefully protected… Is this what they call a sense of security?
Unlike his younger sister, who was overwhelmed with emotions, Su Fan frowned, still doubting Lin Xuan's ability.
But in the end, he still nodded in agreement...
"I understand!"
"But if you fail to do it within half a month, I will use my own methods to make the Huo family suffer my wrath."
Su Fan remained expressionless, his tone openly showing his hatred for the Huo family.
The main reason he agreed to Lin Xuan's proposal was that he wanted to take this opportunity to test Lin Xuan's true abilities, to see whether this so-called brother-in-law was just boasting to show off, or if he truly had the skills to back up his words?!
If Lin Xuan could truly destroy the Huo family by himself, it would be solid proof of his abilities.
Even if he were no longer around in the future, he could rest assured leaving his sister in Lin Xuan's care.
'I hope you don't disappoint me...'
Through his observations over this period, Su Fan could tell that his sister seemed to have genuine feelings for Lin Xuan.
So, he reluctantly acknowledged Lin Xuan as his brother-in-law.
The only thing that still worried him was...
Whether Lin Xuan had the ability to truly protect his sister!
"What's your plan? Do you need my help?"
Su Fan asked curiously. His master had instructed him to avoid conflicts with the authorities.
If Lin Xuan had a better way to deal with the Huo family...
Then he would naturally be willing to cooperate, using a gentler approach to reduce the chances of clashing with the authorities.
"No need, I can handle it alone."
In response to the question, Lin Xuan shook his head, indicating that he didn't need help. At the same time, he revealed a key piece of information.
"Through special channels..."
"I found out that the provincial government is about to issue a notice selecting a suburban area for a university town, along with the development of commercial streets and residential districts."
"I don't need to explain how valuable land in an emerging area like this will be due to its immense future development potential."
"Of course… this information is currently top secret! And I plan to use the information gap to completely trap the Huo family."
"As a giant in the real estate industry, once the Huo family learns about this national-level construction project, they will definitely go all in to compete for it."
"Because if they seize this opportunity, they could elevate themselves to a top-tier aristocratic family."
"As long as I use this information properly, the Huo family will be at my mercy."
After Lin Xuan finished speaking, the Su siblings were already in shock.
Especially Su Qingge, who had long been active in the business world and had a keen sense for major business opportunities.
Even though her main industry wasn't real estate, she still knew that if Lin Xuan's information was true…
Then this would be an earth-shattering secret, representing an immense financial opportunity!
…..
'I really don't know where Lin Xuan got this information from?'
'Under normal circumstances...'
'The government would not release this information prematurely to prevent real estate developers from engaging in unfair competition, right?'
'Forget it, that's not important. Since Lin Xuan is saying it, it means he has full confidence in its accuracy.'
'Everyone has their own secrets, don't I have mine too? Unless Lin Xuan voluntarily reveals it, I shouldn't care about the source!'
'After all, the fact that Lin Xuan shared such a confidential piece of information with me means he trusts me greatly.'
'This piece of information alone is worth a fortune and could make many businessmen fight to the death.'
'But how exactly does Lin Xuan plan to use this information to deliver a fatal blow to the Huo family?'
…..
Su Qingge lowered her gaze, digesting the shocking secret Lin Xuan had revealed.
If the provincial government really implemented the university town project as Lin Xuan described, the financial stakes involved would be unimaginable.
Based on her estimates… at the very least, it would be a real estate project worth hundreds of billions…
With such a massive pie at stake, not only the Huo family but even Su Qingge herself was tempted. It was enough to make countless powerful forces in Magic City and beyond fight for it…
Lin Xuan seemed to enjoy the shock on the Su siblings' faces.
He then smiled and revealed his next steps.
"The Huo family is a giant in the real estate industry and has some connections in the province, so they have caught some wind of this plan in advance."
"But they still don't know the specific details..."
"However, my uncle, Tang Guoan, is the director of the Land Resource Planning Department and is responsible for implementing the upper management's policies and decisions."
"The Huo family will definitely try every means to obtain detailed information from him."
"I will use this as leverage to set a fatal trap for the Huo family…"
…..
The Tang family? Tang Guoan?
Hearing this familiar name, Su Qingge suddenly recalled his position and his relationship with Lin Xuan.
At the same time, she was aware of the conflict between the Tang family and Lin Xuan—they had barely been in contact for years, right?
If Lin Xuan wanted to make use of Tang Guoan, he would inevitably have to interact with the Tang family, and he would most likely be met with their disdain and ridicule…
'Is Lin Xuan planning to endure all of this alone just to avenge me?'
Thinking about this, Su Qingge felt a tightness in her chest, an indescribable ache in her heart.
She made up her mind that if Lin Xuan really suffered because of this…
Then she would step in no matter what—even if it meant using a different approach to take down the Huo family.
This kind of humiliation—we won't endure it!!!
On the other side, when Su Fan heard Lin Xuan mention the Tang family, he was momentarily stunned.
He remembered that his master had arranged his third fiancée for him—Tang Rou, the third-generation heiress of the Tang family.
"What a coincidence!"
"So, the Tang family and Lin Xuan are actually relatives? Tang Rou is his cousin?"
Although he found it surprising, Su Fan didn't react much.
After all, all he wanted was to get the other half of the marriage certificate from Tang Rou's parents—he didn't care about anything else.
As the group was talking, the hospital room door was suddenly pushed open. A few bodyguards walked in and informed them that Su Yan's surgery had been successful…
[Time to call the police.]
Hearing that her aunt's abortion surgery had been successful, Su Qingge glanced at her grandfather, who was still unconscious in the hospital bed. She clenched her teeth and made a decision.
No matter what, she was determined to cut ties with her aunt. Even if her grandfather woke up, he would surely understand her decision.
On the hospital bed, Su Shengtian remained asleep.
Meanwhile, Su Fan, who was holding him, silently watched everything unfold, letting out a sigh in his heart.
He never expected that upon returning in glory, his sister and aunt would break ties…
Back then, the relationship between aunt and niece was quite close, wasn't it?!
Why did things turn out like this?!
As expected...
It was all the Huo family's fault. If Huo Qichen hadn't used such despicable means to manipulate their aunt, which led to his sister's suffering…
Otherwise, how could she have been so heartbroken that she decided to sever ties with her aunt?!
Su Fan subconsciously ignored all other factors and placed all the blame squarely on the Huo family.
He made up his mind—if the Huo family wasn't bankrupted by Lin Xuan in half a month, he wouldn't mind erasing every single one of them.
(b?ω?) Huff huff~~~~
Under Su Qingge's orders, the police quickly arrived at the hospital.
After receiving the recording evidence provided by Lin Xuan, their expressions turned serious as they swiftly headed towards Su Yan's hospital room...
…..
"So tired... it hurts so much!"
"No! I have to escape now, or I might never get another chance."
"That's right! I can't be caught by the police, I can't go to jail! Otherwise, my life will be ruined. I have to run!"
…..
Inside an empty hospital room.
Su Yan, who had just undergone surgery, was pale and felt overwhelming fatigue and pain throughout her body.
But she knew she had no time to rest.
If she didn't escape now, she might never get the chance again...
Su Yan's face twisted in pain.
But she forced herself to endure, clutching her abdomen in pain as she got up and rushed toward the door…
"Ms. Su Yan! You are suspected of attempting to murder your own niece. We are now placing you under arrest in accordance with the law."
"Please cooperate and do not resist unnecessarily."
"You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say can and will be used as evidence in court."
As soon as she opened the door, a pair of silver handcuffs greeted her.
It's over! It's over!
What should I do now???
Looking at the solemn-faced police officers in front of her, Su Yan's face turned even paler, and her heart sank completely...
