Chapter 251: Chapter 251: She Will Be the Richest Woman in the World

Everyone thought that these treasures had already been secretly smuggled out of the country, especially since it was a time of great turmoil and war in the nation.

There were no records, no visual materials, so no one truly knew what the wall paintings and Buddha statues in the Sansha Buddha Cave, along with the precious historical documents, actually were.

Without definitive evidence, even if they appeared abroad, it wouldn’t be possible to reclaim them according to international norms.

But in recent years, there had been definite news that these valuable treasures hadn’t yet been smuggled out; they were still in the country.

Now, further confirmation of this information had been received.

This batch of Buddha statues, wall paintings, and other precious items was in Xichuan.

However, it was still unclear exactly where in Xichuan.

It seemed that Wu Xiujie’s information was incomplete, after all, the Sansha Buddha Cave was two thousand miles away from Xichuan.

But, clearly, he was desperate, sparing no expense to get one million saplings and digging for months without finding anything yet.

Perhaps he truly couldn’t pinpoint the exact location, or maybe Wu Xiujie was setting up the Enchantment Formation.

After all, that man was truly cunning.

He was a very tough opponent.

Fifty years had passed, and the geographical appearance of Xichuan had changed significantly. What was once a large oasis in the north of West River was now buried under sands.

Old He then said, "Han Xianglan is indeed Wu Xiucai’s biological daughter, but we can’t reveal this information now, primarily considering safety issues and because we don’t want additional complications at such a critical moment."

He Shan fell silent, he had already seen it in the documents, but despite the internal turmoil, he managed to calm down quickly.

He agreed with the old man’s words; the situation was not clear, and if they confirmed now that Han Xianglan was Wu Xiucai’s daughter, then Wu Xiujie, given his obsession with Wu Xiucai, would not spare Han Xianglan and the Qiao Family.

This involved a lot more people and events.

Logically, He Shan shouldn’t have involved himself, but precisely because of his complex identity, his interest in certain matters wouldn’t arouse suspicion in others.

He Shan left the ordinary, old building.

His feelings were indeed very complicated.

Mr. Wu had once personally written him a letter, but the letter had gotten wet and he still didn’t know what it said.

But now it could be confirmed that the content of the letter was probably asking about Han Xianglan, considering she and he had grown up together.

However, after obtaining the forged expert report setup by his superiors, both Wu Xiujie and Wu Xiucai should shift their focus.

Yet, he still couldn’t figure out why Mr. Wu Xiucai would visit Qiao Qingyu in Xichuan instead of seeing Han Xianglan.

Was it because his brother Wu Xiujie was in Xichuan?

Could it be that these half-brothers, finally unable to maintain a facade of brotherly respect, had irreparably fallen out?

Without clearing up the facts, He Shan couldn’t conclude.

He Shan’s transfer was naturally an internal affair; even Meng Siqi had no idea where he had gone.

Meng Siqi had been recuperating at home but was much better now, nearly fully recovered. Knowing that He Shan was going out, she packed his things as usual.

He Shan silently sat on the couch, sipping tea.

His eldest son, He Xiuwen, was also recuperating in the hospital, but being strong, he had almost recovered and would probably return to work in a month.

He was the only one in the family who knew.

He still hasn’t dared to tell Meng Siqi, worrying that her weak heart couldn’t bear it. So, it’s better not to know and spare the worry.

Currently, what troubled him was that Meng Siqi always saw Han Xianglan as an imaginary foe. He never mentioned Han Xianglan’s name, but unexpectedly, the one who mentioned it the most was Meng Siqi.

Those who didn’t know would think she liked her a lot.

So He Shan genuinely felt helpless.

If he said he had completely forgotten Han Xianglan, that would be a lie, but he had forcefully severed that relationship long ago.

All that was left was guilt.

But Meng Siqi was different. She just loved to bring it up from time to time, tormenting both herself and him.

Later, he had a serious talk with her, and she finally stopped mentioning it. But who would have thought that after a trip to Hejia Village, his second son He Xiuyu had married Han Xianglan’s daughter?

So Meng Siqi really was always on the brink of collapse.

His feelings for Meng Siqi weren’t fake. She gave birth to his children, managed his household, endured hardships through wind and rain. It’s just that he wasn’t good at expressing it.

Now, the situation had changed again.

In the plans set earlier, within about a year, these issues would be resolved, and then Meng Siqi would know Han Xianglan was Wu Xiucai’s biological daughter.

She possessed unique inheritance rights.

After acknowledging her ancestry, Han Xianglan would become the richest woman in the world.

By then, he didn’t know how his wife would react...

Wouldn’t she be sarcastic every day?

Thinking about such days, He Shan felt a bit of a headache.

He remembered what his second son had told him, and at this moment, He Shan also realized he hadn’t handled things well.

He stood up from the sofa. In the bedroom, it was only him and Meng Siqi. He stepped forward and took her hand. Meng Siqi was startled, still unable to react, so he simply pulled her into his arms. The action embarrassed him as well—it was really awkward to hug and hold at their age.

Meng Siqi felt it was sudden too, her face reddened and she scolded in a low voice, "What are you doing, Old He, let go!"

"Wife, you’ve worked hard all these years."

Hearing such words out of the blue, Meng Siqi was even more stunned.

"...Wife, I’m not eloquent, but from the moment I married you, in my heart, you have been my wife, my lover, He Shan’s wife. I will stay with you till we grow old, I can swear to heaven..."

Meng Siqi was somewhat shocked.

It was really too sudden; it could be said that she was frightened.

Since marrying He Shan, she had never heard such intimate and heartfelt words from him, so a possibility crossed her mind...

Meng Siqi’s expression changed instantly.

She pushed He Shan forcefully, her hand trembling as she pointed at him, her voice somewhat shrill, "Old He, tell me, have you done something to wrong me? Do you have another woman outside? Have you had a child with her?"

At that moment, Meng Siqi didn’t think about Han Xianglan.

She detested Han Xianglan, detested Qiao Qingyu, that was her personal opinion, but she knew that He Shan and Han Xianglan were clean.

Han Xianglan was a proud woman with self-respect. Even though she grew up in the countryside and had had a hard life, she never interacted with the He Family, just like a stranger.
