Han Yaotian wasn’t an idiot. The moment Han Wanling said that she had been framed, he could instantly read the situation. It was clear to him that Han Wanling had tried to kidnap Yun Xi, but had failed and gotten played instead.
However, it was too late for him to do anything about this. With the video out there on the internet, there was already a huge uproar concerning it throughout Jingdu.
It had taken him a lot of effort to get his father out of jail, and now Han Wanling had to cause even more trouble at a time when their family’s fate hung in the balance.
He could not believe that while the Han family was struggling to stay afloat, she would do something like this and let herself get filmed. It was pretty much a nail in the coffin for the Han family.
With all the troubles they had been facing and now this, other families would start a war with them. Even the Qiao family alone would be able to cause a dent in their businesses.
All the efforts he had made throughout the past few days were pretty much meaningless now.
He headed upstairs and knocked on the door of the chairman’s office before heading in.
"Dad, the police just took her away," Han Yaotian said as he looked at the person who was standing in front of the window.
It hadn’t even been two days since Han Hongbin was released from prison. His face showed signs of exhaustion. Just as he was planning how to reorganize his company, this incident with Han Wanling had happened.
Han Wanling had been caught kidnapping. Even if he used all his connections to bail her out, the end result would still be the same. It had already made a sizeable dent in the Han Corporation.
Despite having been in jail until recently, Han Hongbin still knew everything that had happened around Jingdu.
Most people would think that
And that person was planning to destroy the Han family and kick them out of the big four wealthiest families.
He had no idea to what length the Young Commander had gotten involved in it, but it was clear to him that this hadn’t been executed in the same way as how the Young Commander would usually do things.
During his time in jail, Han Hongbin had spent a lot of time sorting things out and had finally come to the conclusion that it was Yun Xi who was behind everything.
He admitted to himself that he had been underestimating her this whole time. Yun Xi was both more courageous and tactful than his sons and daughters by miles.
No one had tried to challenge the Han family’s position in Jingdu for many years, not even the Young Commander. However, she did just that and even orchestrated the battle between the Han family and the Qiao family.
She was basically killing two birds with one stone, and it was a genius plan.
"Get me all the information you can find on Yun Xi. She’s not as simple as we think she is. Even though she’s the Young Commander’s weakness, we shouldn’t avoid doing anything to her any longer."
"I’ve already sent someone to do that," Han Yaotian replied. "Dad, what should we do with Wanling’s situation? Should we hold a press conference or use our connections to get her out?"
"Your sister is just way too dumb. She thought that Yun Xi could easily be dealt with, but she became the victim instead. I’ll find someone to at least clear her name now, and we’ll deal with the rest later. What’s important now is to regain our reputation and business."
When Han Hongbin turned around, it was as if he had suddenly gotten older after all the events that had taken place recently. To make matters worse, the son and daughter that he’d thought were good enough had been completely useless throughout this ordeal, and it was disappointing.
"Go contact the person in charge of the Mu family," the father ordered. "I have to meet with the Young Commander right away. No matter what, he still owes me a favor, and I believe that it’s time for him to repay that. As long as we can survive this, then we’ll still have a chance to make a comeback."
"But, sir, the Young Commander is refusing to meet with us. I’ve tried to request a meeting with him and the replies are always the same. I don’t think even you can get to meet with him…"
The Young Commander was someone with a special position in Jingdu. He was the one who had the highest position in the city. If this hadn’t been true, the Han family would’ve just barged their way into his home.
"We’ll have to try no matter what!"
