Chapter 222: Chapter 222

Han Liying reached an understanding with Mei Xue, and her mind suddenly became clear.

Su Jiang and the five children all had considerable assets and their own lives to lead. No matter what happened to her, their lives wouldn’t change much or face significant disparity.

Mei Xue was different; she had no way out. Mei Xue offered her wholehearted sincerity, and Han Liying had to be worthy of that.

「The next day, early morning.」

Han Liying called Su Jiang and the five children over, and they all sat in her courtyard.

Han Liying said, "I’ve been awake for some time. During this period, I’ve tried my best to understand you and let you have some understanding of me. I think the time for us to initially get to know each other has passed. Moving forward, I want to do what I’ve been planning to do."

"If you support me, we can collaborate. If you oppose, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it."

Of the five children, Su Junxian had spent the most time with Han Liying and understood her way of handling things the best.

"Mom, what do you want to do?"

"I’ve discussed it with your Aunt Mei. I’ll take over most of the matters of Sully, and she can either have her freedom or be my assistant. For years, she’s put off many of her own matters because of me. While I wasn’t awake, she was unwilling to travel far. Given my current health, I can’t travel with her. However, I’ve hired a professional travel agency to tailor travel services for her. When she’s ready to go, these services will officially start. A professional photography team will also accompany her, to capture as many photos as possible."

"Moreover, she should be more important to you than I am. I only gave birth to you. It was mostly her who endured the hardships of raising you. In the future, no matter what happens to me, you all must respect and love her."

"That’s the first thing. The second is that Fu Bing saved my life. She was wrongfully imprisoned back then, and I couldn’t help. The mastermind behind her suffering, the Qin Family, is now facing a huge crisis. I want to do something for her—for example, bringing down the Qin Family."

"Are you willing to support me?"

After Han Liying finished speaking, she calmly looked at everyone.

Su Junxian felt a surge of emotion. So the familiar feeling and closeness he felt with Fu Bing weren’t only due to their blood relation but also because she shared life experiences similar to his mother’s. His mother had also meticulously protected a non-blood-related sister, just as Fu Bing had a sister she depended on and cherished.

Su Jiang’s inner thoughts were much more complex. With the information Liying currently possessed, she wouldn’t know about Fu Bing’s true relationship to her. If she knew, she would have turned the Su Family upside down long ago; she wouldn’t be speaking so reasonably now. That was precisely why he was so deeply moved by her. She could always clearly analyze her emotions and identify key points, only defending the people and relationships she valued. She could overcome any problems and troubles that came her way.

Han Liying waited for a while, but no one responded. She raised an eyebrow. "Silence means consent, I take it."

Su Jiang said, "Whatever you want to do, I support you."

Han Liying smiled brightly. "Good."

Her gaze slowly moved over her five sons. "I won’t interfere with company matters; I’m not interested. The outside world is yours to conquer. I only want results. Can you give me satisfying results?"

"Of course," Su Junxian said with a smile.

Su Junhui exclaimed, "No problem!"

A battle-ready light also flashed in Su Junzhe’s eyes. His mom was so interesting! She could easily ignite everyone’s desire for battle.

Su Junling declared, "I’m always ready to provide public opinion support!"

Su Junying’s feelings towards Han Liying were the weakest. He had once resented Han Liying deeply. When his sister disappeared, Han Liying not only failed to take charge but also seemed to evade responsibility by falling into a coma. Even now, he still held a bias against Han Liying.

Han Liying met Su Junying’s gaze, seeing the clear dissatisfaction in his eyes. Instead of avoiding his gaze, Han Liying looked back at him directly. She didn’t want to prove anything urgently; some things couldn’t be rushed.

For now, bringing down the Qin Family was the priority. Family affairs could wait.

Han Liying told them to get busy. Then, she made a call to Fu Bing.

"Aunt Yin, hello! Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year! Are you getting used to celebrating the New Year in Jiangnan?"

"Celebrating the New Year with family means it doesn’t matter where we are. How about you? How’s your health?"

"With your medicine, I don’t have a single issue," Han Liying said with a smile. "I have something to discuss with you."

"Now is the best time to bring down the Qin Family. I’ve discussed it with my family, and we will handle this. Is there anything you want to do?"

"Don’t feel burdened. From my perspective, I do want to help you get justice. The men in my family, on the other hand, aim to dismantle the Qin Family to obtain more benefits. If you have a plan, we’ll fully support your actions."

"I do have a plan. I want to discover the secret Qin Sheng once held about me. I need to know what kind of secret would make Qin Jinhai unable to break away from Qin Sheng and the Qin Family."

"Alright, we’ll pay close attention."

"Thank you, Aunt Yin."

"As long as you’re well and unaffected, that’s all that matters."

Fu Bing hung up the phone and went to see Wu Shi.

After taking medicine and sleeping all day, Wu Shi was feeling much better. The exhaustion from the previous night was gone from his brown eyes; they were now bright and spirited.

"I’m glad you’re okay."

"Has something happened?" Wu Shi asked, noticing a smile in her eyes.

"Han Liying just called. She said the Su Family is going to fully join the effort to take down the Qin Family. I don’t think the Qin Family will be able to hold on much longer."

Wu Shi frowned. Does Han Liying know about this? Then, he reconsidered. No, that’s impossible. Han Liying is always straightforward and never beats around the bush. If she knew, she would have sought out Fu Bing immediately.

"Did you agree to participate?"

"I also want to know what conspiracy destroyed me back then, and what kind of people were responsible for my child’s death."

Wu Shi felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his face turned pale. "Alright," he said, "I will definitely get you an answer." Fu Bing noticed his expression seemed off but didn’t dwell on it.

"You rest for a few more days. I’ll take care of things first."

"Are you going back to Jiangcheng?"

"Yes. Matters related to Jiangcheng need to be dealt with there."

After handling everything, she would bury the entire past in Jiangcheng and no longer carry its scars. Some memories only needed to last until her revenge was complete; there was no need to remember them for a lifetime!

Fu Bing returned to Jiangcheng that afternoon. She had initially planned to go back alone, but Aunt Ning, Uncle He, and the others wouldn’t hear of it. In the end, a large group of them set off by car.

When Ren Ye learned about it, he arranged for two bodyguards and his lawyer, Shen Zhixue, to accompany her. Shen Zhixue was a doctoral advisor and very famous in the legal field.

Upon arriving in Jiangcheng, Fu Bing immediately set up a meeting with Shen Zhixue.

Shen Zhixue had graying hair. Upon seeing Fu Bing, his face was full of apology.

"I once proposed to have your case retried, but I failed. Now, some of my students are re-examining your case, and I hope this time it will be successful. Even if I couldn’t help you back then, I want to achieve justice now, allowing you to move forward without stigma in the future."
