The bar's main hall was filled with wisps of smoke, a quiet stillness pervading the air.
On the sofa, Qin Chuan lit a cigarette, taking slow drags, his knuckles tapping a rhythmic beat on the table. Those familiar with him knew this meant Qin Chuan was deep in thought.
"Qi Yan, since you opened Han Guangyao's private safe, there must have been other things inside, right?"
Suddenly, in the silence, Qin Chuan lifted his eyes and stared directly at Qi Yan, asking, "If that old bastard really had such a fetish, there wouldn't just be Lu Meijuan's photos inside, would there..."
Opposite him, Qi Yan, who had been fiddling with a bottle opener, hesitated for a moment at Qin Chuan's words before finally nodding. "Yes, there were many photos inside, including nude pictures of He Yaqin, the wife of Han Zongren from the Han family's eldest branch."
"Where are those photos? Let me see!" Qin Chuan's expression grew agitated, his hand reaching out to claim them.
But this time, Qi Yan didn't comply. Li Xiangcao, standing beside her, chided, "You pervert! The content of those photos is roughly the same, what's so interesting about them? Men are all bad eggs, none of you are any good!"
Qin Chuan's arm froze mid-air as he declared righteously, "Xiangcao, your view is too extreme! We are discussing serious matters right now. Nude photos like these are far less exciting than what you see in movies. Why would I bother looking at these aged women!"
"The reason I want to see them is to identify who these female protagonists in the photos are. This is very important."
Seeing Qin Chuan's righteous demeanor, Li Xiangcao felt a flicker of confusion. Weren't all men supposed to have such tastes? Why was this guy so earnest?
"Those photos aren't with me. I gave them to someone familiar with Han's Coal Industry. He's very well-acquainted with the leadership of Han's Coal Industry and will help us identify those women," Qi Yan explained.
"I'm not asking about that now, but whether we should find Lu Meijuan and He Yaqin. They can be considered the most crucial figures!" Qin Chuan's obsidian eyes sparkled, "If we have photos of other people, and a large quantity at that, then finding Lu Meijuan and He Yaqin might not be as important anymore!"
"With so many people being secretly filmed, drugged, and raped, Han Guangyao has committed heinous crimes. Even with his influence, he cannot escape the grasp of the law! Once this matter is exposed, Han Guangyao will become a universally condemned rat in the street. In the face of public outcry, the authorities will have no choice but to act, otherwise, public anger cannot be appeased," Qin Chuan stated.
Han Guangyao's actions suddenly reminded him of the son of a certain influential figure in later generations in Taiwan, who also committed such monstrous crimes, not even sparing his stepmother, and was eventually sentenced to thirty years. At that time, the exposure of those photos had caused a national uproar. Although information was not as developed as it is now, if handled properly, Han Guangyao would definitely not escape punishment.
More importantly, these scandals were merely a prelude; the bigger moves were yet to come. Swindling the underworld, forming factions, tax evasion, hiring assassins, extortion, concealing accident truths... these charges, combined, were enough to drag the entire Han family down with him. At that point, the Han family would be in turmoil, and even if Lu Meijuan and He Yaqin didn't come forward to testify, Qin Chuan believed that some of the victimized actresses would surely bravely step forward to expose Han Guangyao's crimes.
"If you say so, is it now time for us to make a move against the Han family?" Qi Yan's spirit lifted, and Li Xiangcao also perked up her ears, her eyes fixed on him.
"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded vigorously. "You know, you got these private photos from Han Guangyao's safe. Who knows if Han Guangyao has discovered it yet? If he has, and makes some preparations in advance, it could cause complications. Considering this, we must act decisively and catch them off guard!"
The matter of the Han family was pressing. Going to Goryeo or not was secondary for now. If necessary, he could send others in his stead. The Han family's affairs had to be resolved first.
Qi Yan's breathing quickened, and she immediately stood up, "I'll call them now to ask if they've confirmed the identities of the people in these photos."
Qin Chuan also stood up, "I need to make a few calls as well." Since they were prepared to act, he had to inform the Lin siblings, Shan Xiongjin, Wang Bailin, and others – they were all crucial allies. Each of them held significant evidence against the Han family, and combined, this evidence could cause a major stir.
As expected, the three factions were greatly surprised upon receiving Qin Chuan's call. Were they really going to move against the Han family so soon? At the same time, they were all curious about what kind of evidence Qin Chuan possessed against the Han family.
Qin Chuan instructed the three factions to gather in Longcheng immediately. This matter was of great importance, and everyone had to be present to formulate an extremely meticulous plan.
When Qin Chuan returned to the bar after his calls, he saw Qi Yan already waiting for him.
"I've already contacted the Lin siblings, Shan Xiongjin, Wang Bailin, and other factions. I've asked them to come to Longcheng overnight," Qin Chuan said as he walked in.
Excitement was evident in Qi Yan's eyes. "I just called. They've already confirmed the identities of at least seven people, with only two or three remaining to be fully identified. The identities of these actresses are almost all from the upper echelons of Han's Enterprises: department heads, directors, vice general managers, general managers – none have escaped the clutches of that old beast Han Guangyao. Han Guangyao, that old beast, treated the company almost like his private harem, doing whatever he pleased."
Qin Chuan's eyelids twitched upon hearing this shocking revelation. It seemed that everything the Blood Wolf trio had said was true; Han Guangyao had indeed degenerated to such a severe extent.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something very important. He walked out of the bar with his phone and made two calls. These calls were to Yongnan County. Qin Chuan instructed his elder brother, Yao Dong, and numerous elites, along with the Blood Wolf trio, to all come to Longcheng. Since they were about to sound the horn of counterattack against the Han family, they had to go all out. This formidable enemy, the Han family, had to be eradicated in one fell swoop. Even if they couldn't eradicate them completely, they had to cripple their power and plunge them into an endless abyss, otherwise, they would surely become a great future menace.
Late at night, in a suburb of Longcheng, stood a villa with a vast area. Illuminated in the darkness, it shone like a brilliant beacon. Qin Chuan first met the Lin siblings. The Lin siblings were locals of Longcheng, and this place, provided by them, would serve as the secret base for the Avengers Alliance.
