Chapter 292 The Prosperous Era Completely Changes Hands

The media anchors thought the two had stopped suddenly to answer their questions, but they saw that the two only stopped for a few seconds before being escorted directly into the car by bodyguards.

The sleek black sedan slowly started moving, quickly pushing through the crowd and driving away from the H Hotel entrance.

After waiting for a while, the crowd watched the cars drive away, their faces showing a hint of frustration. Then, as if remembering something, they quickly turned around and ran upstairs to the H Hotel.

In the car.

"What happened abroad? Why did you leave in such a hurry? I can't get through to you on the phone?"

Han Xi had no intention of letting go and kept Fang Li in his arms.

Fang Li gently rested her head on his shoulder, her tone inevitably tinged with worry.

"The situation is urgent; if my phone is turned on, it will be located by the other party."

Han Xi held her hand, his thumb gently stroking it. Where Fang Li couldn't see, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he slowly spoke:

"As you know, Han's was formerly known as Han's Jewelry. Everyone knows that Han's Jewelry is the leading jewelry brand in China, but they don't know that the reason why Han's Jewelry has been able to maintain its leading position in the domestic jewelry industry is because Han's Jewelry owns the largest raw stone mining area in Mamba."

Fang Li raised an eyebrow in surprise.

She stood up and looked at the man beside her. "So, you've been in Mamba these past two days?"

Han Xi nodded slightly, as if he couldn't get enough of playing with the soft little hand in his palm, and explained in a gentle tone: "The Mamba mining area is a very important industry for the Han family. Back then, my mother personally went to Mamba and spent a huge sum of money to reach an agreement with the local government to secure it."

"This time, although it was a scheme jointly set up by Han Ming and the Sheng family to transfer me away from the capital, there were indeed problems there."

Fang Li: "You...you didn't know this was a trap from the beginning, did you?"

Han Xi looked up at her, his long eyebrows slightly furrowed: "But I didn't know they would do something so despicable just for a marriage alliance!"

Fang Li fell silent when this was brought up.

She then frowned slightly as she looked at him: "Have you taken care of things with Mamba?"

".......Um."

Han Xi squeezed her hand and said, "It was Fourth Uncle who did this, but he shouldn't dare to do anything funny for a while after this."

Han Xi spoke casually, but Fang Li inexplicably sensed a hint of danger and ruthlessness in his tone.

Seeing the faint bluish tinge in his eyes, Fang Li frowned and couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke the handsome face that had stirred up her heart in just a few days.

"Tired?"

Han Xi paused slightly, then shook his head.

"I miss you," he said again.

Because of missing you, I don't feel tired at all.

Because I miss her, I don't want to waste a single second. I just want to finish everything as soon as possible and rush back to her side.

Just thinking about the insults, criticisms, and... the people who attacked her that she suffered during his absence made it impossible for Han Xi to suppress the murderous intent in his eyes.

Fang Li took the initiative to reach out and hug his neck, getting close to his chest.

"I miss you as well."

The car sped toward the hillside manor, passing through the most bustling areas of Beijing. Some electronic screens were still broadcasting the grand scene at the hotel, but no one knew that the two central figures in the incident were driving past them in a car.

-

Before the master even arrived home, Aunt Rong had already received news from Jiangbei.

All the servants at the Half Hill Manor were given a half-day off, and no one was allowed to approach the main house without prior notice.

Jiang Bei even beat the two of them to it and personally picked up Yang Miao.

Yang Miao was completely bewildered when he was packed up and put on the bus.

"Didn't you say my uncle was coming back? I haven't seen him for several days. Can I stay?"

Jiangbei: "No way."

"Why?! This is my uncle and aunt's house, why can't I stay here? They promised to take care of me!"

Jiangbei fell silent.

Yang Miao frowned and said, "Stop the car, I want to get out!"

The car maintained a steady speed as it drove down the mountain road.

Yang Miao angrily pulled hard on the car door, but unfortunately the door was locked and wouldn't budge no matter how hard she pulled.

"Jiangbei!"

"Ms. Yang, this is an order personally given by the boss. Please cooperate."

Yang Miao was stunned: "I don't believe it! How could my uncle kick me out?!"

Jiang Bei said helplessly, "I'll say it again, it's not that we're rushing you, it's just that the boss has something to take care of and we need everyone to leave for a while."

"Then explain clearly, how long is 'a while'?"

Jiang Bei was taken aback, and an unnatural look flashed across his face.

Who knows?

But given the boss's capabilities, it should be... by tomorrow morning, right?

......

Fang Li experienced firsthand what it means for longing to surge like a tide.

At this moment, her body was like a surging tide, rising and falling, adrift and helpless.

Everything became hazy and distant.

The lights flickered, breathing became heavy and labored...

Every detail intensely stimulated Fang Li's senses.

Only the whispered sweet nothings that occasionally reached her ear managed to keep her conscious for the last time.

"Ah Li, I miss you, I miss you so much..."

"I will never leave you again, I will take you with me wherever I go..."

"Don't leave me, you are mine..."

......

"I love you......."

She felt like she was about to drown, and reached out to grab onto something in front of her, but the waves surged on even more violently.

She cried out for help in a hoarse voice, unable to hold back her sobs and tears...

She didn't know how much time had passed, until she no longer had the strength to open her eyes. Her floating body finally landed on solid ground, enveloped by a warm chest.

It was around 7 p.m.

The master bedroom on the second floor of the main house was completely dark.

After a long while, a figure moved about on the bed, which had just calmed down. A figure lifted the covers and quietly got out of bed.

Han Xi bent down and stared at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed for a long time in the darkness. He then leaned down and gently kissed her forehead before turning and entering the dressing room.

A few minutes later.

The study next door.

Apart from the desk lamp, the surroundings were dim.

A tall, slender figure, dressed in a gray loungewear set, stood with his back to the window, making a phone call.

"All the online comments attacking your wife have been removed. As for the engagement banquet between the Han and Sheng families, because of your attitude today, everyone is now questioning the official accounts of the Han and Sheng families."

"The stocks of both Han and Sheng have been affected to varying degrees because of this incident. The Sheng family father and daughter and Chairman Han could not withstand the pressure from the media and were taken to a room downstairs by hotel security. They have not come out yet. The area downstairs of the H Hotel is still full of reporters, as are the headquarters of Han's and Shengshi."

Han Xi's eyes were dark as he looked at the quiet manor outside and asked, "How's the progress on Jian Yunqi's side?"

Tai'an Road Pedestrian Street.

Yang Miao was playing claw machines not far away, while Jiang Bei stood by the roadside outside and whispered, "The news that was released the night before last should reach the country by tomorrow at the latest. Coupled with this incident, Shengshi should be severely damaged."

Han Xi's dark eyes narrowed slightly. "Tell Tang Chen that I will make Shengshi completely change hands within six months."

"Yes."
