"Xiao Yi, itās me. How did I hear that on the night I left, something happened between you and Mei Langchi? What happened?" Han Yi, who had just come off duty in the army, was about to call Chen Haichang but quietly received a call from Mei Lang Jun.
"There was a bit of an accident, but itās all been resolved now. You had a mission, and we didnāt want to distract you, so we didnāt tell you."
"What? Was it really Mei Langchi who did it?" Mei Lang Jun had just heard about it from Tao Jia. A few days ago, Tao Jia called home and heard her grandmother rambling about it.
They said it caused quite a stir.
Han Yi didnāt hide anything from Mei Lang Jun and explained the ins and outs of the situation to him, so he could have an understanding.
Hearing this, Mei Lang Jun instantly spat out some curse words, "Damn, heās getting more and more sinister, even letting his wife take the fall for him. And he even made her go crazy. He really thought of everything."
"The idea of having her take the blame wasnāt from him; it was from the old man." Han Yi let out a sarcastic chuckle, clearly discontented with Old Meiās methods.
"Grandpa suggested doing that?" Mei Lang Jun frowned, his face turning a few shades darker.
"Itās all in the past, so donāt worry. Oh, by the way... something else happened yesterday, Hua Hua was secretly taken away by Li Liangās mother. Li Liangās mother pretended to be a nanny to work at the Mei family and took the child away when she had the chance."
"Oh, so our grandpa and your dad finally know the child isnāt from the Mei family? After raising him for that long, it must be frustrating?"
Han Yi gave a light chuckle, "Frustrating for sure. Now they canāt contact Mei Langchi, but they still hold on to hope, believing Hua Hua is their grandson. However... theyāve never dared to report to the police, fearing he might not be."
"They canāt contact Mei Langchi? Where did he go?"
"He supposedly went to the port to talk business. I donāt quite believe it."
Mei Lang Jun raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Isnāt Ye Qingās factory at the port? Call there, youāll definitely find him."
Han Yi smiled, thinking Mei Lang Jun was smart. But what they could think of, Mei Shuping and Xie Lingzhi couldnāt, because in their eyes, they didnāt consider Ye Qing important, so they couldnāt think of this.
"Mei Shuping wants me to call Third Uncle to have him find Mei Langchi."
"Haha, even if they find him, theyāll probably be angrier then."
"Thatās not within our concern. Once Xiao Wan is out of confinement, weāll go back. Let the Mei family solve their own issues."
"Alright, come back soon so I can see what my little nephew looks like."
"Youāll see him eventually. You should sort out your own matters first, so our kid wonāt be running errands by the time youāre still single."
"Donāt worry, it wonāt take that long." Mei Lang Jun was a bit annoyed, wishing he could marry Tao Jia right away.
Unfortunately, the previously eased tensions with the Tao family elders had once again been made tense by Mei Langchi. It seemed he needed to think of another way.
After hanging up with Mei Lang Jun, Han Yi dialed Chen Haichangās number.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Third Uncle, itās me, Han Yi."
The person on the other end was taken aback, clearly not expecting it to be Han Yi calling, "Han Yi, what brings you to call me... Oh, is it because your wife gave birth, and youāre inviting me to the wedding feast?"
"The wedding feast will happen, but today Iām calling Third Uncle for another matter."
"Whatever it is, just tell me," Chen Haichang thought it was about the child needing help, so he continued dealing with paperwork while casually responding to Han Yi.
But when Han Yi mentioned looking for Mei Langchiās whereabouts, he immediately put down his pen.
"His assistant said Mei Langchi went to the port over a month ago."
"Yes, I know heās at the port. Heās been making quite a stir over there recently."
Han Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Does Third Uncle know where he is?"
"Yes, heās in the process of selling his wifeās factory. Iāve got people watching. Heard heās already found a buyer, guess at what price heās selling it?"
Han Yi chuckled lightly on the other end, "No idea."
"Hmph, that guyās ruthless. Ye Qing only bought it for ten thousand when she acquired it, and after just two or three years of operation, heās selling it for twice that amount. Well, believe it or not, some foolās willing to buy. Mei Langchi is really going to make a fortune this time."
"Heh, I was just saying to Junzi that Mei Langchiās trip to the port wasnāt simple, turns out it was really to stir up some cash."
