Chapter 403: 403 Because, she is my wife

"I can save your sister, but you’ll have to pay a price."

"You... Why do you know so much about the inside stories of the Yan Family?" Han Hao’s voice trembled a little.

"Because..."

"Because she’s my wife." From behind the two of them, came Yan Shixiu’s clear and melodious voice.

Han Hao’s shock escalated to a new level, he had never imagined that An Lan would be backed by Yan Shixiu.

Shi Lan also turned her head, only to hear Yan Shixiu say to her, "Wait for me outside for five minutes."

Shi Lan glanced at Han Hao and nodded, "Not a minute more, or you won’t be forgiven."

Yan Shixiu took a seat opposite Han Hao and then, staring at him, asked, "Working for Yan Ziqing?"

Han Hao’s tongue tied in a knot; he couldn’t say anything.

Because he had not anticipated that the real Yan Shixiu would have such an overwhelming presence, making him feel so suffocated he could hardly breathe.

It was as if his soul, hidden in the darkness, had awakened the devil.

"I... I didn’t know before..."

"As far as I’m concerned, Yan Ziqing is as good as dead."

At this point, Han Hao began to tremble all over, sweating profusely.

"If it weren’t for my promise to An Lan not to interfere with her work, Heaven’s King would have been flattened long ago. Did you think you could still be sitting here?"

After finishing that sentence, Yan Shixiu slightly curled his lips, "Quite audacious."

"I..." At that moment, Han Hao felt his legs go weak, his eyes flashing with terror, "I was wrong, Boss Yan, I didn’t know anything..."

"If you still want your sister’s life, if you want the future of your Han family, you better be clear about what you’re doing. Of course, I won’t stop you from seeking death like the rest of the Yan family if that’s what you want!"

...

Exactly five minutes, not a second more or less.

Yan Shixiu walked out of the living room and then said to Huo Zhao, "Take him out."

By then, Han Hao was paralyzed on the sofa, chilled to the bone.

This man could recite his parents’ work schedule, the places they would pass by, when his sister took her medication, and when his nephew finished school.

Unbeknownst to him, he had hung a sword over the head of his entire family.

In the meantime, Yan Shixiu also mentioned the case of Mr. Huang, the bankrupt real estate tycoon. Shortly after going bankrupt, he ended up staying in a colorectal hospital for a month.

The threats from Shi Lan were related to interests, forceful and direct.

But Yan Shixiu’s threats, invisible and intangible, made one feel danger lurking at every turn, assassination intent omnipresent.

Shi Lan had been waiting outside all along. Seeing Yan Shixiu come out, she wrapped her arms around his and asked, "All settled?"

"Just wait and watch the show."

When Han Hao was escorted out by Huo Zhao, he still had no clue where he had been. He only knew he had entered a large villa district, but it was some distance from the main villa area.

At that moment, there were two missed calls from Yan Ziqing on his phone.

With somewhat shaky hands, Han Hao still redialed the calls, "Boss Yan."

"Where are you? I called you twice. Why didn’t you answer?" Yan Ziqing berated right off the bat.

"Did you need something from me?" asked Han Hao, still intimidated by the encounter with Yan Shixiu just before.

"My mother absolutely refuses to mortgage the property. I’m preparing to make a fake authorization letter. Do you have any connections for that?"

"That’s illegal!" Han Hao cautioned.

"I can’t worry about that now, I need the money."

"I know a lending company that can loan out a million, using Heaven’s King as collateral. Pay it back within fifteen days, and they only charge a small interest," explained Han Hao. "Want to try it? Fifteen days should be enough for your brother to cough up the money, right? If you really can’t pay it back by then, you can mortgage the property of your family’s house; pay off this debt first. What do you think?"

"Is it reliable?" asked Yan Ziqing.

"Don’t you trust me?"

Yan Ziqing was silent for a while before finally nodding, "I want to meet the other party."

"Okay, I’ll arrange it as soon as possible."

Right now, Yan Ziqing had no idea that a ghost was lurking by her side. But then, you couldn’t blame Han Hao. Yan Ziqing was willing to sacrifice even her parents for her own interests – what was he to her?

Yan Shixiu had made it very clear just before.

With one million, to take down Heaven’s King, and another million to take down the Yan Family’s house, the day the Yan Family released the news to demand their alimony would be the day the truth would come to light. When that time came, the Yan Family would be disgraced, left with nothing, and face police investigations.

It would be a barrage of arrows, and also a piercing of the heart.

...

At half-past nine in the evening, the night was cool as water.

The couple dined in the restaurant.

But while eating, Shi Lan kept sneaking glances at Yan Shixiu.

She was genuinely curious about what he and Han Hao had discussed in those five minutes.

"If you keep looking, I’m going to change the menu," Yan Shixiu said, putting down his utensils and looking at her.

"Change to what?"

"To you."

Shi Lan, the tough woman, snorted lightly, unimpressed, "Don’t pretend everything’s fine."

"Everything is as it should be; we discussed it earlier," Yan Shixiu’s response was slightly aloof, "Now, apart from you, no one can hurt me."

After hearing what Yan Shixiu had said, Shi Lan propped herself up, leaned close to Yan Shixiu’s ear, and said, "If I bite you, does it count as a hurt?"

"That depends on where... you bite."
