Chapter 42: It Was Your Daughter
He couldn't move. He was like in a vacuum space, devoid of anything. Even his breathe was halted.
He literally jolted when Liu Zijian casually stand in front of him.
'How did that Han Meixiu entangled with the Second Young Master Liu?' Why didn't he know? What should he do now? He could not move forward nor retreat. If he would admit, Chen Dewei would not let him alive! But if he didn't the young man in front of him would also not spare him!
He was wracking his brain to think of a solution. Any solution would do! Even the most stupid one! He was already sweating profusely as his mind was trying to think! Think! But there was only nothingness.
"I need an answer."
"Second Young Master Liu, there must be some… kind of… mistake? She was …" Before he could finish his sentence the young man glanced on the table indicating him to look and check what's in there.
There was an envelope calmly lying on top of the coffee table seemingly waiting for him to be picked up.
Han Huang slowly walked towards it; his steps were unstable as he slightly swayed left and right.
His hands were shaking as he picked it up. Due to the enormous quivering, he wasn't even able to hold it properly as it slipped in his hands and the papers inside scattered on the floor.
Liu Zijian was calmly observing the old man. He was thinking how this kind of person was able to become a head of a family.
Even though the Han Family wasn't as influential as the Liu's they have their fair share of power in Q City. However, the act that he did, contained a lot of loopholes. It was as if the action was rushed. It's either he was really desperate that he didn't thoroughly think or someone must have orchestrated it from behind to drive the Han Family to its demise.
But Liu Zijian didn't care about what would happen if his conclusion was correct. He's here for a simple reason. Settle the issue and go back to K Country.
He also didn't plan to investigate further. For a family who didn't even include his wife in their family tree as if she didn't exist, he would be more than happy to just watch from the side lines after his deed was done.
"She needed to be compensated." He asked as he saw the old man picking those papers on the floor.
When he heard Liu Zijian words, he became even more terrified. He, who already advanced in age wouldn't be simply threatened by a merely young man who's not even half his age. But Liu Zijian was totally different from others. Aside from his overbearing aura, his words contained weight that's enough to bring his confidence and arrogance down to a bottomless pit.
'What does he mean?' He merely glanced at those papers that were now messed up like his brain and emotions.
"My wife has been wronged." He's getting more and more impatient.
"What does Second Young Master want?" His voice seemed losing their strength bit by bit similar to his extremities that were now numbed due to the constant shaking.
"Check the documents. My assistant will wait for you to finish. I need those in an hour." With that he left the room. He has other things to do. Their marriage has been already legally registered and those personnel who were associated with the tampering of data were already on their way to their respective destination.
Although he couldn't find where was the woman who posed as Han Meixiu, it wasn't really that important. His primary goal has been achieved.
He didn't really want to drag his wife's name to be devoured by the press so as much as possible he's careful not blow up the issue. She's a private person and based from the information that he gathered and his observation, she didn't want to attract too much attention.
Han Huang couldn't move nor even glanced at what he's holding. Even until the sound of the closing of the door reverberated, he was still kneeling and tightly holding those documents.
It was only when Ye Ming came in that he snapped out of it.

It was just merely 30 minutes. Han Huang wanted to laugh at himself. It only took half an hour to lose everything. This was on top of being imprisoned due to the crimes not just he personally committed but also when he was an accomplice. There were also crimes made by the other members of the Han Family.
One simple mistake, he lost everything.
The list of crimes was too detailed that he even thought they were being watched from the very beginning. The list wasn't use to blackmail him. It wasn't fabricated. It was only telling him that he knew. Liu Zijian knew. It meant he could never escape even if he wanted to. There was just no way out but submit and be defeated. Be defeated horribly.
How fool he was when he thought Liu Zijian would ask for collaboration.
The Liu businesses were self-reliant. They simply didn't need services the Han Family could offer. They produce their own talents. It started from sponsoring talented individuals and honing them to become an outstanding asset of the Liu's Empire. Majority of their employees were dedicated to them, not because of the salary, it was because of the career growth. The opportunities were almost limitless as they keep on expanding.
As he waited to be arrested in his study, Han Huang couldn't help himself to look back. Where did he go wrong? He just followed the customs handed over to him. Why was the result different? Was it because his greediness became excessive? When did it start? Was it when his mother died? Or was it when it was his wife?
Was his unfilial son, Han Yun Xiang, correct when he said he would drive the Han Family into it's end? If he listened to him, would the family still survive?
He shook his head. "Yun Xiang, it's your daughter who pushed the Han Family to its end."
As his mind was drifting to the past, his phone rang breaking his walk down memory lane.
He wanted to faint when he saw who was calling him. He didn't move as he just stared shockingly on the screen of the phone.
But he couldn't afford not to answer. His hands that just calmed down began to shake again.
'Chen Dewei'
'He knows, now.'
