Leaving Jiru Grand Hotel, everyone arrived at the Han family villa in Lingyue Mountain Villa.
Han Lang sat on the sofa, his mind blank, still unable to recover from his anger.
Luo Jiaying, though she had stopped crying, still had two clear tear tracks on her cheeks.
No one spoke in the entire hall.
The atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.
Everyone seemed lost in their own thoughts, scattered in various corners.
Elder Cao, being the oldest, couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere.
After a period of silence, he impatiently slapped the table and said, "Can anyone tell this old man what exactly happened?"
Han Zhongyi dared not neglect him, but his tone was also exceptionally heavy. "Elder Cao, please don't be angry! The reason Lang'er is so furious is because the Wang family patriarch, whom we overheard outside, was referring to Luo Zhaoyang and his wife, who are close friends of my Han family and also Xiao Ying's biological parents!"
Elder Cao and Tang Haoran, who were unaware of the truth, were both taken aback by this news.
Cao Xuerong immediately stepped forward and put her arm around Luo Jiaying's shoulders to comfort her.
Ma Long, with a "whoosh," stood up and said indignantly, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's call the police!"
Su Su's eyes also held tears, and reminded by Ma Long, she seemed to awaken and echoed, "Yes, Lang'er! We must hurry and call the police to get justice for your Aunt Fang and Uncle Luo!"
Before Han Lang could reply, Han Kang replied impatiently, "Mom! It's useless! The case was closed over a year ago. Reporting it now won't yield any results!"
Su Su immediately became flustered. "Then what should we do? We can't just..."
Just then, Tang Haoran stepped forward and said, "This matter is indeed a bit tricky! However, my little tomboy is the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team. If I call her, it won't be difficult to have her re-investigate the case. But, you'd better explain the entire sequence of events properly!"
Upon hearing Tang Haoran's words, everyone agreed.
But the problem was that Han Zhongyi and his wife had only rushed to help with the funeral arrangements after receiving the news of their deaths.
They were not clear about the cause and effect of the incident, let alone Han Kang.
Thus, everyone's gaze collectively turned towards Luo Jiaying.
"Xiao Ying, the matter has already passed, you must also take care of yourself! Everyone wants to help you now, can you control yourself and tell Uncle Tang and everyone the whole story?"
Hearing Cao Xuerong's gentle inquiry, Luo Jiaying slowly turned her head.
Seeing the concerned expressions on everyone's faces, she finally suppressed her tears and nodded.
"I'm not very clear about many specific details. At the time, I only received a call from the police and learned of my parents' deaths..."
Luo Jiaying recounted everything she had told Han Lang before, in its entirety.
Tang Haoran frowned after listening.
"So, currently, apart from the ambiguous statement we overheard from Wang Shan, there is no evidence directly pointing to Wang Shan murdering your parents. And you only judged from the voice that Wang Shan had visited your home before your parents' deaths, right?"
Luo Jiaying nodded helplessly.
Su Su, however, eagerly asked, "How is it? Patriarch Tang. In this situation, can the case file be reopened?"
"This..." Tang Haoran looked somewhat troubled. "From the overall perspective of the incident, we can only say that the Wang family's suspicion cannot be ruled out. After all, Xiao Ying did not see Wang Shan with her own eyes at the time, and in the police's closing statement, there were many witnesses in Letian Building to prove that Xiao Ying's parents jumped to their deaths. Therefore, it might be difficult to overturn the case!"
Upon hearing this conclusion, Ma Long immediately became anxious.
"Do we even need to think about this? The police's closing statement from back then must have been problematic! Who would commit suicide by going all the way up there?"
Wang Fang also agreed. "Yes! And how influential is the Wang family? If he preemptively replaced all the witnesses with his own people, wouldn't all those testimonies be completely in his control?"
As soon as Wang Fang said this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Tang Haoran also looked helpless.
"Yes, that's right! As one of the four great families, the Wang family indeed possesses such capability! Your suspicions are reasonable. However, the law doesn't work that way! Unless you have evidence to prove that all those people were indeed bribed by the Wang family. Otherwise, even if they gave false testimony, you would be powerless!"
Elder Cao nodded. "Everyone, what the old man said is correct! This case indeed has many doubts, but without new evidence, these doubts are merely doubts. It's probably not enough to punish the Wang family based on this!"
"Then what do we do?"
For a moment, everyone was at a loss, and they fell silent once again.
After a long while,
Elder Cao couldn't hold back any longer and said recklessly, "Damn it! If the open approach doesn't work, let's try the hidden one! If Wang Shan can do it, I don't believe my Cao family can't!"
But at this moment, Han Lang suddenly rubbed his face and said calmly, "Forget it, Brother Cao. This is ultimately a matter between my Han family and the Luo family. You and Brother Tang don't need to get involved! Moreover, the other party is not someone to be trifled with. As the four great families, if we were to fight to the point of mutual destruction for my Han family, how could I bear it!"
Han Lang's words made Elder Cao and Tang Haoran fall silent.
Yes,
If the Tang and Cao families were involved, this would be a real battle of the prominent families!
At that time, even if the Wang family was destroyed, what good would the Tang and Cao families gain?
After much thought,
Tang Haoran finally gritted his teeth. "Brother Han, this price might indeed be quite high. But if you and Old Cao join forces, I believe it won't be difficult to defeat the Wang family. Since we've become brothers, we must uphold this loyalty!"
Elder Cao also nodded fiercely. "What the old man said is right! Since we are brothers, I will avenge you! Moreover, our two families will be in-laws sooner or later, so there's no need to distinguish between us!"
Elder Cao's words made Han Kang and Cao Xuerong blush.
But at this moment, no one paid attention to them.
Han Lang sighed and then said, "I am truly grateful for the loyalty of you two brothers. But this matter is not that simple. The Wang family is not that simple either. Perhaps..."
Han Lang said this, and then looked seriously at Elder Cao again. "Brother Cao. You might not even be able to get involved in this matter."
Han Lang's words were not very clear, but Elder Cao and Tang Haoran both understood his meaning.
Outside the VIP room of Jiru Grand Hotel, the last sentence they heard Wang Shan say was clearly...
Luo Zhaoyang and his wife were not ordinary!
