Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 426
Soon, someone brought the things Xinyan needed.
Han Jingchen, as his therapy time was approaching: "Xinyan, I’m going for therapy first. I’ll come back in the evening to have dinner with you."
Xinyan nodded and responded: "Okay, Dad."
Han Jingchen had just arrived at the sanatorium when he received a call from Han Chaoxu. He told him about the matters concerning Chu Zhenhua, and also shared the findings from his investigation: "Uncle, I’m definitely going to get to the bottom of this."
Han Jingchen despised those who used deceptive tactics: "Uncle supports you."
This one sentence gave Han Chaoxu confidence.
At the same time, someone knocked on Chu Hongsen’s office door: "Report."
A steady male voice came from inside: "Come in."
The door was pulled open and someone walked in: "Commander*, we’ve sent people to investigate; those few people indeed have issues, but if we want to figure out where those harmful things come from, it might take some time."
Chu Hongsen’s face immediately turned stern upon hearing his subordinate’s words. Chu Zhenhua was his Big Brother’s daughter, but because her mother passed away early, she grew up with their father. Although she wasn’t particularly docile, she was very sensible. He and his wife didn’t have a daughter and always treated her like their own young lady.
Thanks to the company and care of this little niece, they rarely had to be distracted on their father’s side, allowing them to wholeheartedly focus on work.
The father was most worried about the little granddaughter he had raised since infancy as he lay dying. He promised at the bedside that he would settle the niece properly, allowing his father to peacefully breathe his last.
Now, the little niece was schemed against right under his nose, with such a venomous method. A military unit is no place for people with such poor conduct.
While those few individuals were still smug and self-satisfied, two teams were investigating their actions.

With He Jinxuan’s assistance, Xinyan had finished preparing the required medicinal materials by dinner time, just waiting to be boiled into ointment in the evening.
Sister Chen was cooking in the kitchen, occasionally glancing into the courtyard, quietly saying to her husband: "Xinyan’s partner is really nice. Look at their tacit understanding, Xinyan only needs to give a look and he knows what she wants."
Uncle Chen chuckled: "Mr. Han is not an ordinary person. If he weren’t good, they wouldn’t have let him move in."
Sister Chen laughed: "You’re smart for once."
Xinyan organized everything and clapped her hands: "Jinxuan, let’s move these to my room. After dinner, I’ll make the ointment. It needs constant attention, but it’s still a bit hot now, so it’s better to prepare it later."
He Jinxuan nodded at her: "I’ll take them to your room first. When it’s time to prepare it, just say the word, and I’ll watch the fire."
Xinyan knew he wasn’t just being polite, but was worried she’d overheat by the fire, and gave a charming smile: "Thanks, Jinxuan."
After speaking, she laughed and ran into the kitchen to find Sister Chen.
This was the first time Xinyan had called him that, sending a tingling sensation through him and making his whole body warm, with a smile creeping across his lips.
When Han Jingchen came in, he saw He Jinxuan bending over to tidy the medicine-making tools, seemingly in a very good mood, which made him a bit jealous.
Xinyan heard the commotion, poking her head out of the kitchen: "Dad, you’re back."
Han Jingchen heard his daughter’s voice and immediately changed his expression: "Yes, I’m back. Look, is this medicine ready?"
