Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1094: This Must Not Be Allowed to Succeed

Mr. Xue and his son heaved a profound sigh: "Fine, we’ve come this far, no other choice remains."

The son fully grasped the implication: "Dad, we can’t go down that path unless it’s truly unavoidable."

Mr. Xue shook his head, a bitter smile on his face: "I’m getting on in years—do I really need to get pulled into this and face the shame?"

The son spoke with deep anguish: "Dad, you’re not thinking straight."

Mr. Xue gazed at his second son sitting opposite: "Yuhu, I’m leaving the Xue Family in your hands; I know your elder brother can’t shoulder this responsibility."

Xinyan overheard and figured out who was there—it was Xue Yuhu, Xue Hongjuan’s second uncle from the Xue Family.

Clearly, Xue Hongjuan’s father wasn’t the old man’s favorite.

Before Xue Yuhu could reply, Mr. Xue continued: "No need for excuses, time’s running short. Apart from what’s out in the open in this room, everything else is next door—divide it up however you think best.

I suspect they’ll show up before noon today."

Anxiety gnawed at him relentlessly; he yearned for them to split the goods swiftly, abandon the old residence, and once tomorrow’s newspaper declared the family ties severed, he’d be beyond worry.

Xinyan got the message: he planned to end it all—such a naive delusion.

Sever ties? Fat chance of that happening.

The Gu Family endured endless suffering; a simple severance notice won’t shield your offspring from justice—keep dreaming.

Xue Yuhu exited the study and headed to the adjacent room.

Once his son departed, Mr. Xue rose, unlocked the hidden panel behind the bookshelf, retrieved several items, and grabbed a big copper basin from beneath the nearby table.

Xinyan immediately knew Mr. Xue’s plan.

Just as the match Mr. Xue had ignited neared the paper in his grasp, a strange feeling hit him from behind. But before he could whirl around, Xinyan knocked him out cold.

She ignored what those objects were, sweeping them all—including the copper basin—into her space.

Grabbing the moment, she triggered the mechanism to access the hidden chamber, spotting four small boxes inside, which she promptly stored away too.

With everything reset perfectly, she pulled a pill from her space that she’d prepared and forced it into Mr. Xue’s mouth—no escaping accountability through death, not on her watch.

Having wrapped it up, and hearing the neighboring door creak open, she dashed back behind the screen and slipped into the space.

Next, Xue Yuhu entered, circled the screen, and shouted: "Dad, what’s wrong with you? Someone, hurry over here!"

A person burst in: "Second Master, what’s going on?"

Xue Yuhu urged frantically: "Help me over here, quick."

The arrival at last saw the elder’s state: "I’ve got him, I’ll carry him."

As the footsteps receded, Xinyan stepped out of the space, strode straight to the next room, and found the treasures Mr. Xue had labored to retrieve the day before already portioned out.

Xinyan skipped a detailed check, simply stashing it all into the space.

Done with that, and spotting the empty yard, she boldly strolled out of the Xue residence.

Right upon exiting, He Jinxuan leaped from a tree beside the courtyard wall: "Finished up?"

Fortunate she’d prepared ahead, snagging a small cloth sack from the adjacent room as camouflage; Xinyan softly hummed: "Let’s head out."

The vehicle sped straight back to the suburban home.

Entering the yard, they spotted Han Jingchen waiting under the eaves: "You’re back—come inside."

Xinyan stepped into the house, set the bundle down: "Dad, these are the things I rescued from Mr. Xue; he was on the verge of destroying them."

Before they sat, Gu Wanqing dashed from the bedroom: "Yanyan, you’ve returned."

She hurried to Xinyan, placed hands on her shoulders, inspected her repeatedly, and patted her all over: "How dare you act so recklessly, sneaking off without telling us—what if harm came to you? What then?"

Finishing, she shot a glare at He Jinxuan: "And you! Why didn’t you hold her back? You joined in her crazy scheme instead."

He Jinxuan shot Xinyan a look: "I’ll own it, my mistake for bringing her along, but the outcome’s solid. If I’m right, what’s inside here will bring those villains crashing down."

All eyes fixed on the bundle—the Gu Family had anticipated this moment far too long.

Xinyan seized the chance: "I’m dying to know too; things were rushed, so I couldn’t peek inside."

As she spoke, she eased Gu Wanqing onto the sofa and unpacked the bundle’s contents.

Han Jingchen jumped to his feet upon seeing them: "Yanyan, this stuff is crucial."

Xinyan caught his meaning: "We’ll turn it over then."

She remembered Mr. Xue’s statement: "Plus, Mr. Xue likely aims to publicly cut ties with his kin to safeguard them—it won’t fly."
