Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1095: Disappointment and Discovery

Solemnly, Han Jingchen declared, "Leave this matter to me."

He stuffed all the objects back into the cloth bag and told He Jinxuan, "Let’s go, come along with me."

After those words, he glanced at Xinyan, "I want Jinxuan to take care of this."

Xinyan grasped Han Jingchen's intention and responded, "I have no objections."

After all, during the trip home, she had already filled He Jinxuan in on the entire story, trusting that he was capable of dealing with it.

This served as her father's method to shield his young lady.

As Han Jingchen stepped outside, he gave Gu Wanqing a nod.

Gu Wanqing's eyes reddened while she watched the pair depart together.

Her mother's emotions were clear to Xinyan, who pulled her into a hug, "It won't be long—Grandpa and Grandma will soon return to the Capital and reunite with us."

Tears flowed freely as Gu Wanqing lost control, "Even today, we remain clueless about why the Gu Family suffered such a disaster.

Your uncle lost his life due to them, your second uncle vanished without trace, and had it not been for them, I wouldn't have spent so many years apart from you.

Your grandparents wouldn't have been driven from their native land, and your father with me wouldn't have endured years of torment waiting. Yanyan, I truly loathe them.

The Gu Family never harmed a soul; my forebears gave away possessions and wealth endlessly whenever the country faced danger, but ultimately, villains conspired against us."

Heartache gripped Gu Wanqing during her words, tears streaming down her cheeks, "You have no idea the shame we felt right after arriving abroad. Those times are too agonizing to think back on."

Xinyan required no further explanation to envision it; their survival amid those trials was pure fortune, with the torments known solely to them.

In the meantime, following his second son's rush to deliver Mr. Xue to the hospital, physicians puzzled over his coma despite a hectic half-day and could merely observe.

Han Jingchen and He Jinxuan drew intense scrutiny after handing over the items, containing not just hints but concrete proof.

As a result, merely three hours on, public security and military united for a sweeping citywide roundup, nailing targets with extraordinary accuracy.

Concurrently, special units commandeered Mr. Xue's elaborate schemes amid his blackout, while every Xue Family member faced isolation and restraint, poised to aid the police probe.

Mr. Xue's scheme to publicly disown kin or end his life in atonement for their sake utterly failed.

Come morning, he roused gradually from the hospital bed in confusion. Why no memory of his guilt-escaping suicide, and what place was this?

His head turned to reveal uniformed sentries bedside, dawning the truth: doom sealed for him; death itself now eluded his grasp.

Despair masked his countenance, though relief bloomed inside for his foresight. The family severance notice must already be out.

Aware the declaration wouldn't spare them all fallout, he figured their livelihoods at least preserved, his bequests ensuring tolerable days.

He never foresaw the notice seized before print, absent from that day's papers.

Meanwhile, Han Jingchen learned Old Master Gu's longtime attendant by his side was located.

Joyfully securing leave from his post, Han Jingchen dashed home, "Wanqing, the longtime follower next to your grandfather has been found."

Gu Wanqing toyed with their boy when the words hit, her held plaything tumbling down, "Is that true?"

Han Jingchen nodded once more, "Yes, it's true."

A spark of thrill lit Gu Wanqing, "Where is he?"
