"What discovery? Tell me," Yin Xi couldn't help but grow more curious, quickening her pace as she got into the car.
Han Haoming paused slightly and said, "Today at the hospital, I saw Si Yue's brother. Suddenly, I felt he resembled someone. After returning, I carefully compared photos, and I think there's indeed some resemblance."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Yin Xi's heart began to beat faster. "Who? Who does he look like?"
"It's the man Pan Li, whom I apprehended on a business trip a few days ago. He's also the one I've been suspecting of breaking into my house last time," Han Haoming replied softly.
"Oh? Could it be such a coincidence?" Yin Xi's eyes widened. "Send me a photo of that man."
"Alright." Han Haoming then sent a clear photo of Pan Li when he was incarcerated.
After Yin Xi examined it carefully, her brow furrowed. The man in the photo's eyes and nose were indeed very similar to Qin Si Yu's, almost as if cast from the same mold. No wonder, when she first saw him at the Qin family's residence, she felt he didn't look much like the Qin family members, especially not like Qin Si Ye. At the time, she thought he took after Jiang Jie, but now it seemed things were not that simple. Could it be that Qin Si Yu was not Qin Xiuzhi's biological son, but was born to Jiang Jie and this man named Pan Li? And then, using Qin Xiuzhi's relationship with her, after five years, they found him, instantly becoming the much-admired daughter-in-law of the Qin family, and thus living a life of wealth and status? If her guess was correct, wouldn't Qin Xiuzhi be the big fool, raising someone else's son for so many years for free? And what about Pan Li, why did he break into the Han family's house? Did Han Shan know the truth of the past, which is why he was fired?
The more Yin Xi thought about it, the more shocked she became, and she dared not delve deeper for a moment. With Han Haoming's perceptiveness, he surely must have reached the same conclusion. She quickly replied on WeChat, "He does look a bit alike. I know your thoughts and mine might be the same right now. But without evidence, we cannot make wild guesses. Especially since Uncle just had surgery, it's difficult for him to bear what we're suspecting right now. Also, Si Ye and Si Yue cannot know about this for the time being."
If this matter were true, it would be an absolute disgrace to the Qin family. Qin Si Ye might even have the urge to kill.
Han Haoming replied, "I know, that's why I only told you."
After hanging up, Yin Xi did not start the car immediately but fell into thought. If this matter was as she suspected, and she didn't expose it, allowing that mother and son to continue living prosperously in the Qin family and eventually walk away with a large portion of the assets, wouldn't the Qin family be even more humiliated? Furthermore, there would be no proper explanation for Han Shan's death. And how would Han Haoming feel then? Could he and Si Yue continue their relationship? It seemed she had to investigate this matter secretly.
Shortly after starting the car and leaving the hospital, Yin Xi received another call from Xie Yifei.
"Xi Xi, how did Qin Si Ye's father's surgery go?"
"It was very successful. He has woken up," Yin Xi replied.
"Oh. That's good." Xie Yifei let out a long sigh of relief over the phone. "Last night I told my mother about this. She called me just now and specifically asked about the surgery. I was very busy this morning and didn't have a chance to ask."
Then, Xie Yifei reported on the inspection of the construction site by the relevant departments that morning. Everything went smoothly, and the construction site could soon commence. Soon, Xie Yifei shifted the topic to Lu Yushan.
"Xi Xi, Lu Yushan suffered quite a bit of physical pain at your hands this time. I heard both her arms were broken."
