Chapter 1548: Chapter 1548: I’m Just Gambling on a Miracle
“Bang—”
The lights in the living room were turned on, and Su Yiru’s figure emerged from the corner, carrying a glass of water in her hand.
She must have woken up thirsty in the middle of the night and came to get a drink of water.
Seeing Dan Hanjie, her eyes flickered slightly. “Who was that just now? What exactly is your purpose for staying in the Ye Family?”
“…”
Dan Hanjie hadn’t expected to bump into Su Yiru. His striking eyes tightened, but he had no intention of explaining and turned to leave.
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Qin Youxuan about the little tricks you’re pulling behind her back?” Su Yiru walked forward holding the water cup, blocking Dan Hanjie’s path while staring straight into his eyes.
“I overheard everything just now. You’ve had a plan against Dan Yi for a long time, yet you’re deliberately staying in the Ye Family pretending to be pitiful. What are you actually trying to do? If Youxuan finds out you’ve been deceiving her, she’ll definitely kick you out without hesitation!”
“So what? Are you trying to remind me? I seem to recall that you should hate me.” Dan Hanjie crossed his arms casually, not a trace of panic on his face, casting Su Yiru a cold glance.
His dismissive expression made it seem as though he didn’t care.
Only the faint glimmer deep within his striking eyes exposed his true thoughts.
He had painstakingly gotten closer to Qin Youxuan, but if Su Yiru stirred up trouble in front of her, she might really kick him out without a second thought.
“I am supposed to hate you, but I know Zhanxing trusted you. That leaves me confused—how did things get so warped to turn out like this.”
Su Yiru’s voice carried a trace of heaviness, her gaze probing as she stared at Dan Hanjie.
Turning, she headed toward the direction of the study.
Dan Hanjie hesitated for a few seconds before stepping forward.
Su Yiru didn’t bother with pretense and went straight to the bookshelf, retrieving a letter hidden within a compartment.
“I found this while tidying up Zhanxing’s belongings. He seemed to have known long ago that something would happen to him, and he made a lot of arrangements beforehand…” Su Yiru’s voice was slightly choked.
Dan Hanjie’s eyes flashed, and he swiftly reached out to take the letter, skimming through it line by line.
By the end, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The letter not only explained the future of the company’s ownership but also reminded Su Yiru to seek out Dan Hanjie if anything happened to the Ye Family.
Such instructions were undeniably an act of trust.
“The Ye Family is one of the Three Major Families of Chinese Business, and you know better than anyone how complicated the Dan Family is. Naturally, the Ye Family is no simpler. If not for this letter, I would have gone after you the moment I learned you shot Zhanxing, much less allowed you free access to the Ye Family.”
Su Yiru took a deep breath and fixed her gaze on Dan Hanjie.
“I’m merely gambling—a gamble on a miracle. Maybe this whole thing isn’t as any of us think, and maybe you’re hiding a truth you can’t speak of.”
“…”
Dan Hanjie’s grip tightened around the letter, his gaze growing deeper.
He had underestimated Su Yiru. Having spent years by Ye Zhanxing’s side, even if she appeared detached, she was clearly far from as simple as she seemed.
Born into a prestigious family, she may not be scheming, but she was certainly no naive fool.
“Dan Hanjie, what exactly are you hiding?”
“You’re overthinking it.”
Dan Hanjie tossed the letter onto the table and turned away. “The truth is, Ye Zhanxing trusted the wrong person. When he wrote this letter, he wouldn’t have imagined that I already knew he orchestrated my mother’s death, leaving me to rot in a mental institution all those years. Otherwise, he would have instructed you to kill me immediately.”
