1758 Dealing with the Hans (2)
After completing everything, Xia Xibei left the Han family using Han Hui’s identity, before switching back to her original identity.
Han Hui asked her, “Did anything happen?”
“No,” Xia Xibei shook her head and replied, “Oh, I saw Han Jiang. He said something to me.”
“What did he say?” Han Hui immediately asked, fearing that she might encounter the same person as Xia Xibei did, and not be able to explain clearly.
“Not much, just that you shouldn’t trust your feelings too much, and that money is the most important thing.” Xia Xibei summarized, and to ensure safety, she repeated those words again.
As she listened to these words, Han Hui fell silent, the look in her eyes complicated.
“That’s exactly what they would say and do,” she said.
Every man in the Han family was shrewd, and these women were brainwashed to be selfless and mighty, and to dedicate themselves to them.
If it weren’t for Xia Xibei’s help, she would have been sold off as a commodity and married off to someone else’s family.
“Okay, I’ll go back now,” Han Hui said.
“Sure, go ahead,” Xia Xibei replied, without saying another word before they went their separate ways.
After Han Hui left, Xia Xibei also returned home.
“It’s done,” she said. Han Rui and Qiao Yanjue breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xia Xibei return safely.
Xia Xibei then explained what she had done.
“So, can we start acting now?” Han Rui asked.
“Yes,” Xia Xibei nodded, “and you can also tell your teammates about this.”
“What?” Han Rui was surprised, “Do we really need to tell them?”
If he were to tell them now, wouldn’t it be like testing them?
It made him hesitate.
“Yea, aren’t you worried that there’s a mole among your teammates? If so, we have to find out!” Xia Xibei said.
It was a matter of life and death, how could they give up easily?
Thus, it was crucial to find out the truth.
Han Rui hesitated.
Qiao Yanjue slapped him on the back, “If everything is fine on their side, then you won’t have a problem! It’s not like you’ll go up to them and accuse them of being suspicious!”
This made Han Rui come to his senses.
His friend was right.
Although it wasn’t right to suspect his teammate, this was a matter of life and death, and he couldn’t take any chances.
He had to do it for his own safety.
“Alright!” he nodded immediately. “Let’s do it!”
He took out his phone and called his teammate.
His teammate was startled when he received the call.
“Are you alright? We haven’t heard from you in a long time! We were so worried about you! You scared us!”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine,” Han Rui shook his head. “It’s just that… They found out about my identity,”
“What?!” His teammate exclaimed. “They found out?! Are you okay?! Where are you now?”
“I’m in my own country right now, but I was afraid of implicating you guys, so I didn’t get in touch with you before. Now I’m also looking for the whereabouts of those guys.”
“Are you injured?”
“No.”
“That’s good. Have you found the whereabouts of those people?”
“I have, and I’ll be able to catch them soon. That way, I can find out who exposed me.”
“Exposed you? You were exposed by someone?!”
“Maybe. Not sure yet. We’ll get to know soon.”
