228: The abortion surgery is over and Su Yan faces justice.

【Indeed! My previous speculation was not wrong; Huo Qichen is the mastermind behind everything.】

【That scoundrel, he made me suffer so much!】

【I must get revenge. I will make Huo Qichen pay a hundred, a thousand times over.】

【I will make the entire Huo Family... feel pain!】

...

After listening to Lin Xuan, Su Qingge confirmed her previous speculation, definitively closing the case.

The culprit behind her becoming a vegetable was... Huo Qichen.

Recalling the despair and breakdown she felt when she became a vegetable, a blazing fury ignited in Su Qingge's beautiful eyes. She decided to add another target for revenge... the Huo Family.

Just then!

A warmth spread through the girl's palm, and she looked up in surprise.

It turned out Lin Xuan had suddenly crouched down and taken her hand.

“Qingge, trust me.”

“I won’t let anyone who hurt you get away with it. Within half a month, the Huo Family will go bankrupt.”

“I will make Huo Qichen lose everything he prides himself on 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.

Ah... what?!

To make the Huo Family go bankrupt within half a month?

Su Qingge’s eyes widened, suspecting she had misheard.

Although she had confidence in Lin Xuan's abilities and could feel his genuine concern, making the Huo Family go bankrupt within half a month still seemed unbelievable.

The Huo Family had been rooted in Modu for many years; shaking their position was not easy, let alone making them go bankrupt... Even the plan Su Qingge had considered before was just to use Su Fan as a pawn to make him fight the Huo Family to the death, then slowly, bloodlessly, devour the Huo Family.

This would take at least several years.

But Lin Xuan actually said he could do it in half a month?!

“Do you trust me?”

Facing Lin Xuan’s sincere eyes, Su Qingge opened her mouth, then silently nodded.

She didn't know why... even though it sounded absurd, Su Qingge instinctively chose to trust the man in front of her.

Putting aside everything else, he had spent so much time investigating the truth behind her becoming a vegetable without her knowledge.

Just this alone filled Su Qingge with gratitude, making her feel warm all over.

In any case, it was only half a month. What reason did she have not to trust Lin Xuan?

On the hospital bed.

Hearing his cheap brother-in-law's boast, Su Fan's face was full of disbelief.

When he heard that Huo Qichen was the culprit behind his sister's illness, he was instantly filled with rage.

The Huo Family?

Why was it that damned Huo Family again?!

Originally, the other party's repeated defiance of him, along with Mu Xiaowan's matter, had already made him decide to eliminate the Huo Family.

Now, with his little sister's account added, old and new grudges combined, even slaughtering the Huo Family a hundred times over wouldn't be enough to quell his anger!

Su Fan had originally decided that no matter what, he would make the Huo Family run with blood today.

But who would have thought... Lin Xuan proposed a half-month agreement to his little sister again?! Was this guy trying to fool his sister?

He was also clear about the Huo Family's situation; making them go bankrupt was unimaginably difficult. It really wasn't as quick as him rushing into the Huo Family and starting a massacre...

“Brother Su Fan, I have a request.”

“Hmm? Speak freely!”

Suddenly interrupted by Lin Xuan's voice, Su Fan looked up in confusion...

“I know Huo Qichen once offended Brother Su Fan, and with your personality, you’ve likely already been plotting your revenge.”

“But now it’s been confirmed that he... actually dared to lay hands on my wife! Unforgivable!”

“Therefore, I want to personally destroy the Huo Family, and let Huo Qichen truly experience the pain of losing everything.”

“So, I hope that within half a month, Brother Su Fan can temporarily hold your hand and give me a chance to get revenge on the Huo Family. I want to personally avenge Qingge.”

“...”

So, everything Lin Xuan did was always to avenge me?

Su Qingge's nose involuntarily tingled.

A soft part of her heart was deeply touched once again.

In the past, whenever she thought of revenge, she considered how to rely on her own strength to make her enemies pay their blood debt.

Now, there was a man smiling, telling her not to worry, that he would seek justice for her.

Was this feeling of being carefully protected, this sense of security, the legendary 'sense of security'?

Unlike her little sister, who was moved, Su Fan frowned, still somewhat doubting Lin Xuan's ability.

However, he finally agreed with a nod...

“I understand!”

“But if you can’t do it in half a month, then I will use my methods to make the Huo Family suffer my wrath.”

Su Fan was expressionless, his tone openly revealing his disgust for the Huo Family.

The main reason he agreed to Lin Xuan's proposal was also to take the opportunity to test the other party's true capabilities, to see if this cheap brother-in-law... was merely boasting to show off, or if he truly had the ability?!

If the other party could truly destroy the Huo Family by himself, then it would be a good testament to Lin Xuan's strength.

Even if he were no longer around in the future, he could rest assured entrusting his little sister to his care.

【I hope you don’t disappoint me...】

In fact, through his observations during this time, Su Fan could also perceive that his sister seemed to have developed genuine feelings for Lin Xuan.

So, he had grudgingly acknowledged Lin Xuan as his brother-in-law.

The only thing that still worried him was... whether Lin Xuan had the ability to protect his sister?!

“What do you plan to do? 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... he would naturally be willing to cooperate and use a more gentle approach to reduce the likelihood of conflict with the authorities.

“No need, I alone am enough.”

Facing the inquiry, Lin Xuan shook his head, indicating no need, and at the same time, revealed a piece of information...

“Through special channels...”

“I learned that the province is about to issue a notice, selecting a location in the suburbs as the site for University City, and developing commercial streets and residential communities around it.”

“You all should know without me saying that the rise of new areas, due to their terrifying future development potential, means the value of the land is immeasurable.”

“Of course... this news is currently top secret! And I will use the information asymmetry to trap the Huo Family to death.”

“The Huo Family, being a giant in the real estate industry, once they learn about this national-level construction project, will certainly participate in the competition with a determined attitude.”

“Because as long as they seize this opportunity, they will undoubtedly rise to the next level, perhaps even becoming a super-first-tier aristocratic family.”

“As long as I make good use of this point, the Huo Family will be at my mercy.”

“...”

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, the Su siblings were already showing expressions of shock.

Especially Su Qingge, who had long been active in the business world and had a more sensitive nose for certain huge business opportunities.

Even though her main industry was not construction, she still knew that if Lin Xuan’s news was true... then this could be considered an astonishing secret, representing immense wealth and opportunity!

...【I really don't know where Lin Xuan got this information?】

【Normally speaking...】

【To prevent malicious competition among developers beforehand, the government shouldn't easily leak the news until the last moment, right?】

【Forget it, it's not important. Since Lin Xuan said it, it proves he is fully confident in the reliability of the news.】

【Everyone has their own secrets, don't I? Unless Lin Xuan voluntarily reveals it, I shouldn't care about the source of the information!】

【After all, Lin Xuan telling me such confidential news already shows immense trust.】

【This information alone is worth a fortune, enough to make many businessmen outside fight tooth and nail.】

【It's just that Lin Xuan doesn't know how to use this information to deliver a fatal blow to the Huo Family?】

...

Su Qingge lowered her eyes, digesting the astonishing secret Lin Xuan had revealed.

If the province truly proceeded with the University City project as Lin Xuan described, the enormous interests involved would be unimaginable.

Based on her current estimation... it would be at least a massive real estate project involving hundreds of billions... Such a huge piece of cake, let alone the Huo Family, even Su Qingge was a little eager to try, enough to make Modu and countless surrounding forces envious and scramble...

Lin Xuan seemed quite pleased with the shock of the Su siblings.

Then, with a smile, he revealed his next step...

“The Huo Family is a giant in the real estate industry and has some connections in the province, so they received some whispers in advance.”

“But they don’t know the specific details yet...”

“However, my uncle, Tang Guoan, is the director of the Land and Resources Planning Department, responsible for the specific implementation of superior decisions and policies.”

“The Huo Family will definitely try every means to get specific information from him.”

“I will use this point to create a fatal trap for the Huo Family...”

“...”

The Tang Family? Tang Guoan?

Hearing this familiar name, Su Qingge remembered his position and his relationship with Lin Xuan.

At the same time, she also knew about the conflict between the Tang Family and Lin Xuan; the two sides had hardly had any contact for years, right?

If Lin Xuan wanted to use Tang Guoan, he would inevitably have to interact with the Tang Family, and most likely be subjected to their disdain and ridicule...

【Is Lin Xuan planning to endure all of this alone, just to avenge me?】

At this thought, Su Qingge felt a lump in her throat, an indescribable heartache.

She made up her mind that if Lin Xuan truly suffered grievances because of this... she would stop it no matter what, even if it meant finding another way to deal with the Huo Family.

This grievance, she would not tolerate!

On the other side, hearing Lin Xuan mention the Tang Family, Su Fan was instinctively stunned.

He remembered that the third fiancée his master had arranged for him was the third-generation young lady of the Tang Family... Tang Rou.

“What a coincidence!”

“From the looks of it, 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.

Anyway, all he wanted was to get the other half of the marriage contract from Tang Rou's parents; he didn't care about anything else.

Just as the group was talking, the ward door was suddenly pushed open, and several bodyguards walked in, announcing the success of Su Yan's surgery...

【Now, let the police come!】

Learning that her aunt's abortion was successful, Su Qingge glanced at her grandfather, Su Shengtian, who was sleeping in the hospital bed, gritted her teeth, and made a decision.

No matter what, she was determined to cut ties with her aunt. Even if her grandfather woke up, she believed he would understand her actions.

On the hospital bed, Su Shengtian was still asleep.

Su Fan, holding him in his arms, watched everything silently, sighing in his heart.

Returning as a king this time, he never expected his little sister and aunt to fall out so completely... They used to be quite close, didn't they?!

Why had it come to this now?!

Indeed... all of this was the Huo Family's fault. If Huo Qichen hadn't used despicable means to bewitch his aunt, causing harm to his little sister... how else could she have been so heartbroken as to finally break ties with her aunt?!

Su Fan subconsciously ignored all other issues, placing all blame on the Huo Family.

He was determined that if the Huo Family hadn't been driven to bankruptcy by Lin Xuan in half a month, he wouldn't mind giving the entire Huo Family a humanitarian annihilation.

(b ･ ω ･) Bifubifu~~~~

Under Su Qingge's report, the police quickly arrived at the hospital.

After receiving the audio evidence provided by Lin Xuan, they looked solemn and quickly walked towards Su Yan's ward...

“So tired! So much pain!”

“No! I must run away now, otherwise I might never get another chance.”

“That’s right! I can’t be arrested by the police, I can’t go to jail, otherwise my life will be ruined. I must escape!”

“...”

In a deserted ward.

Su Yan, who had just undergone surgery, was pale, feeling utterly exhausted and in pain all over her body.

But she knew very well that she had no time to rest.

If she couldn't escape now, she might never be able to run away later... Su Yan's face was contorted in pain.

But she still forced herself to gather strength, clutching her lower abdomen in agony, and quickly headed out of the room...

“Ms. Su Yan! You are suspected of murdering your niece. We are now arresting you according to the law.”

“Please cooperate and do not make futile struggles.”

“You now have the right to remain silent, but anything you say will be used as evidence in court.”

As soon as she opened the door, she was met with a pair of silver handcuffs.

It's over, it's over!

What to do now???

Looking at the solemn-faced police officers in front of her, Su Yan's face grew even paler, and her heart instantly sank.
