"family?"

Han Xi suddenly scoffed, looking at him coldly, "What Fourth Uncle did in Mamba, he didn't treat me like family."

Han Shuo clearly hadn't expected that the usually calm and composed Han Xi would so quickly expose his true intentions.

Han Shuo's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "I don't understand what you're talking about. I've been doing everything according to the family's arrangements regarding Mamba's affairs. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"According to the family's arrangements?"

Han Xi approached step by step, his eyes like knives, "Did the family allow you to raise a private army? Did the family allow you to cooperate with the Zhao family to smuggle goods from the Han family's mines out of the country?"

Han Shuo was speechless when asked the question, and his face turned ashen instantly.

He hadn't expected Han Xi to know so much.

"Do you know how much hardship and suffering I endured while guarding the mining area for the Han family in Mamba for so many years?"

Han Shuo was also somewhat agitated, and his voice rose a few decibels.

"Wasn't I doing all this for the Han family? And you, behind my back, secretly took what belonged to me. Do you even respect your fourth uncle?"

"Something that belongs to you?"

Han Xi sneered, "Everything in the Han family belongs to all the members of the Han family. When did it become yours? You have indeed made contributions to the mining area over the years, but Fourth Uncle, your ambition is too great and has exceeded your bounds."

"Duty?"

Han Shuo seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "In this family, only strength matters, not duty! I've given so much to Mamba, why should I be subordinate to someone else?"

The two stood face to face, the air around them seemed to freeze, filled with an atmosphere of impending conflict.

The bodyguards all kept their heads down, not daring to utter a sound, for fear of angering them.

Han Xi gave Han Shuo a deep look, his tone icy: "That's why I said, Fourth Uncle is no longer suitable to stay in Mamba to manage the mines. Since you feel resentful, then bring it on. Let me see just how much skill Fourth Uncle has gained over the years."

After saying that, Han Xi stopped looking at him and turned to leave.

Han Shuo watched Han Xi's departing figure, his face turning pale and then red, his fists clenched tightly together, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His bodyguards tried to step forward, but he stopped them.

"Let him go."

Han Shuo's voice was low and suppressed, carrying a hint of resentment and anger.

Han Xi got into the car, and Lin Mo handed him a document: "Boss, this is the information we've gathered over the past few days."

Han Xi took the document and quickly flipped through it.

Lin Mo explained from the side, "Han Yi has indeed met with many shareholders and senior executives of the group these days, but they have only had meals and chats, and there has been no substantial action."

Han Xi frowned but remained silent.

He always felt that Han Yi wouldn't be so docile; he must be plotting something in secret.

After leaving the airport, the car drove directly to the Han family's old residence.

As soon as Han Xi entered the door, he saw Han Guodong already sitting on the sofa, waiting anxiously. Shen Ruyan was also waiting with him.

Seeing her son come in, Shen Ruyan quickly stood up and anxiously grabbed him, asking, "How is Lili? Why didn't you tell us about such a big thing! If it weren't for your grandfather telling us over the phone about Grandpa Xu's death anniversary during the New Year, we wouldn't have known at all!"

Han Xi let his mother beat him until Shen Ruyan had vented her anger, then he went over and stood in front of Han Guodong.

"grandfather."

How is Fang Li?

Han Xi: "It's all over now."

Shen Ruyan quickly followed and asked, "Where is the child?"

"The child is fine."

Han Guodong breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Ruyan covered her mouth and sobbed with lingering fear, "Thank goodness Lili is alright, and the baby is alright too. God bless us, God bless us!"

Shen Ruyan sat back on the sofa and remained silent.

Han Guodong then spoke up: "I already know about Mamba's matter. Your fourth uncle has indeed gone too far these past few years. What do you plan to do?"

“I have already reassigned someone to take charge of Mamba’s side. As long as Fourth Uncle behaves himself and stays in Beijing, he will still be the Fourth Master Han of the Han family, and his shares in Han Corporation will be retained, enough to ensure he will live a comfortable life for the rest of his days.”

Han Guodong nodded, clearly having no objection to his grandson's arrangements.

After explaining what had happened during this period, Han Xi left in a hurry.

The car didn't return to the Han Group; instead, it headed towards the outskirts of the city.

Airen Mental Hospital is located at the foot of a small hill on the outskirts of the city, in a quiet environment surrounded by green trees.

A piercing scream came from a VIP ward on the third floor.

Han Shiyu, dressed in a hospital gown with disheveled hair, was frantically smashing things in the room.

She smashed the vase, water glass, and books on the table, and the chair and lamp on the floor to pieces.

Her face was contorted in a ferocious expression, her eyes filled with madness and despair.

Han Ming sat on the sofa, looking at her with a distressed expression, sighing repeatedly.

His clothes were soaked with water by Han Shiyu, leaving him in a sorry state, but he showed no anger whatsoever, simply watching her silently.

Han Shiyu stopped smashing everything in the room, collapsing to the ground, gasping for breath, tears streaming down her face.

Han Ming then slowly stood up, walked to her, squatted down, and said in a hoarse voice, "Shiyu, stop smashing it, it's useless."

Han Shiyu raised her head, looking at him with resentment: "Useless? Am I just supposed to stay in this godforsaken place for the rest of my life? I'm not reconciled! Why is Second Brother so heartless? What right does he have to treat me like this? And that bitch Xu Fangli, it's all her fault, she's the one who ruined me!"

"enough!"

Han Ming interrupted her, his voice tinged with weariness, "At this point, don't you understand? Your second brother has made up his mind. What's the use of saying all this?"

"Then what am I supposed to do? Just pretend to be mentally ill?!"

Han Shiyu laughed wildly as if she had heard the funniest joke, then burst into tears. "I just wanted to get what I wanted, is that wrong? Why are you all treating me like this?"

Han Ming felt a pang of pain in his heart as he looked at her erratic state, yet he was powerless to help.

For the first time, he felt a pang of regret.

"You stay here for now, Dad will figure something out."

Han Ming stood up and said calmly, "This is not a prison after all. There will be many opportunities to get you out, but you must stay calm and not do anything reckless."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the ward, leaving Han Shiyu alone in the room crying.

In the corridor, Han Ming leaned against the wall and closed his eyes wearily.
