Chapter 816 - 737: Cooperation (Part 4)

Later, when the situation worsened, Mom asked friends she had met over the years to help her arrange a position in a factory where she settled down.

Everything else he knew, his mom told him on her deathbed.

He always wanted to know who his father was, but every time he asked, his mom would get furious.

Gradually, he became more obsessed with this matter. To avoid upsetting his mom, he investigated secretly. But he had no leads.

Unexpectedly, his biological father was far away in the North, thousands of miles away.

Even more unexpected was that the father he had been desperately searching for turned out to be such a beast.

His mom’s life over the years shouldn’t have been like this; a girl full of hope was utterly ruined by him.

In that moment, he hated—hated himself, and hated this man even more.

Chen Haichang, unaware of when it happened, found himself lost in thought, and realizing his lapse, quickly regained his senses.

"You’re here this time not just to rope me in as an ally, are you?"

"No, I’m also here for something else. Do you want to guess?"

"It must be related to Ye Qing, right?"

"Wow, you figured it out so quickly. Truly, you’re sharp like those in the military, seeing the big picture!"

"This sort of thing isn’t hard to guess; you want to mess with the Mei Family. You’ve investigated Mei Langchi and Ye Qing, no doubt."

"Yeah, Ye Qing is quite the ally."

"Ha, are you sure she’s an ally?"

Chen Haichang squinted, glanced at Han Yi, and said, "Do you know who that woman mistook me for at first sight?"

"Who?"

"She asked if I was Han Yi’s brother."

Han Yi raised an eyebrow and looked deeply at Chen Haichang. He should resemble Mei Shuqing more. If not for that scar, he would look even more alike.

He looks more like his mom. If you look closely, he and Shuqing don’t resemble each other much; you wonder if Ye Qing is blind.

"When investigating Ye Qing, I discovered some things about you and Ye Qing, but it doesn’t affect our cooperation. For a woman like Ye Qing, it’s just mutual use. But you’re different. After all, we’re uncle and nephew."

Han Yi wasn’t about to pretend they’re related. This person has such a morally ambiguous aura, it’s hard to get a read on him. "What do you want to do to help Ye Qing? Since you know about us, you should know, I don’t like Ye Qing. To be precise, my wife likes her even less."

"No worries, I actually didn’t tell her my identity; I just helped her deal with Li Kaiying, that’s all. The rest, I don’t need to say anything, she will handle it herself. Am I right?"

"Indeed, this woman is a troublesome one. Mei Langchi being fixated on her is like suffering a great misfortune. With her in the Mei Family, things won’t be peaceful. Isn’t that enough? Why involve me?"

"Ye Qing is just a clown, jumping around and messing with Langchi that fool. I assure you, when the time comes, however you and your wife want to deal with her, I will not interfere."

"I’m really curious about how you handled the issue between Ye Qing and Li Kaiying. That woman Li Kaiying is not simple."

"Ha, she’s indeed not simple. That woman asked me to find an identical Ye Qing for her. Wasn’t that difficult for me?"

"Finding an identical one is good, but it’s a pity for that ’Ye Qing.’"

"There are plenty in this world not worth pitying."

Han Yi looked up at him and asked, "Did you agree to her request?"

"Yes, I’m still ’searching,’ and it’s quite an effort. After all, I am a good person and don’t want to drag the ’innocent’ into this."

Han Yi naturally understood.
