Chapter 427 A Secret Buried for Many Years
Chapter 427 A Secret Buried for Many Years
The secret that had been kept hidden for many years has finally been revealed.
As if they knew the conversation would go this way, the police removed the surveillance cameras from the interrogation room beforehand, and the officers who were with Fang Li in the observation room also opened the door and left at the opportune moment.
The two spaces, which appeared independent yet interconnected, were now occupied only by Fang Li and her son, Han Xi.
Han Ming lowered his head, lost in his memories.
At that time, the Han family had not yet ventured into the business field, because Han Guodong was a founding father of the country, and the Han family's status in the capital was more inclined towards military and political affairs.
Han Guodong has four sons. Except for the eldest son, Han Jiang, who inherited the Han family's military spirit from a young age, the other three are all reckless and unruly.
When they were children, Han Ming was the leader of the three brothers.
He was rebellious from a young age because he disliked being arranged by Han Guodong.
When Han Guodong tells him to go east, he insists on going west; when he tells him to beat a dog, he insists on chasing a chicken.
Even when it came to college, Han Guodong wanted him to apply to a military academy, but he refused and instead chose finance, a major that Han Guodong disliked the most.
Because of this, Han Guodong and his son Han Ming have reached the point where they no longer speak to each other.
Unlike Han Guodong, Lin Wenfang really liked her son Han Ming.
As the only daughter of the Lin family, she was rebellious from a young age.
She felt that Han Guodong was too authoritarian and didn't care about his son's feelings at all. Therefore, when Han Guodong disciplined Han Ming, she would contradict him and protect Han Ming.
Because of her protection, Han Ming and Han Guodong's relationship deteriorated further.
What truly led to the breakdown of the father-son relationship was the later affair between Han Ming and Shen Ruyan.
He and Shen Ruyan were not on a blind date; on the contrary, they were actually college classmates.
In college, Han Ming studied financial management, while Shen Ruyan was the most beautiful girl in the design department.
Han Ming and Shen Ruyan met at a club activity.
Shen Ruyan was very famous at school because she was beautiful and had a good personality, and many boys liked her.
Han Ming also thought Shen Ruyan was quite pretty, but he felt he didn't like her.
However, when you are young, you often can't even see your own heart clearly, so someone else makes the decisions for you.
The two had a minor misunderstanding and started targeting each other several times in public. This was not a good thing, but their classmates called them a pair of bickering lovers.
At first, Han Ming ignored it, but then more and more people started talking about it. Even his friends said that Shen Ruyan was so beautiful, yet she kept picking on him. She must be interested in him.
Han Ming was skeptical, but some thoughts always seemed to deepen with each passing day.
Later, the way he looked at Shen Ruyan made him wonder if she liked him.
Later, encouraged by his classmates, he pursued Shen Ruyan because of a bet.
Shen Ruyan appears to have a cheerful personality, but she is very cautious when it comes to relationships.
Han Ming put in a lot of effort and used all his persuasion to win the bet, and eventually succeeded.
He caught up with Shen Ruyan.
Initially, Han Ming planned to break up with Shen Ruyan after winning the bet, but he didn't expect that feelings for someone would slowly grow over time.
He wanted to tell the truth many times, but when he saw Shen Ruyan's charming smile, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to speak.
Later, he simply forgot about the bet and started dating Shen Ruyan without any worries.
Soon after graduating from university, every student will face the issue of choosing a career.
Han Ming is the same.
The Han family has served in the military for generations. If he joins the army, the Han family's influence can provide him with a good path for promotion. However, in other aspects, the Han family is not an asset to him.
Moreover, he knew that Han Guodong had never considered sending him to military school.
To prove himself to Han Guodong, Han Ming resolutely chose to forge a path to show him.
Han Ming's first pot of gold for starting his business was given to him by Lin Wenfang.
But even with the money, he didn't know what to do with it; Han Ming had always been a person without much ideas.
Until he saw Shen Ruyan's design.
After graduating from university, one of her jewelry design assignments was bought by a bigwig in the fashion industry, and a single piece of paper sold for hundreds of thousands.
Han Ming found Shen Ruyan, and the two hit it off immediately with the idea of starting a jewelry company together.
The two agreed that one would be responsible for design and the other for management.
Perhaps it was the passion of youth, or perhaps it was that initial affection that bound the two together, and Han's Jewelry went smoothly and rapidly from its inception to its development.
Success in one's career should be a testament to the fruitful results of this relationship.
But no one expected that the initial feelings would ultimately be no match for the entanglements of interests and the erosion of time.
At that time, although Han's Jewelry was not yet listed on the stock exchange, it was already quite well-known in the country.
Han Ming finally proposed to Shen Ruyan.
However, Han Ming never expected that his marriage to Shen Ruyan would not be opposed by Han Guodong, but by Lin Wenfang.
Lin Wenfang set her sights on her best friend's daughter, who was the richest man in Tianjin at the time. She hoped that her son could marry a woman who could help his career.
Although Shen Ruyan was capable, she looked down on her family background.
That was the first time Han Ming defied his mother.
In order to marry Shen Ruyan, he threatened to kill himself, and in the end, Lin Wenfang gave in.
Although Shen Ruyan has entered the family, a rift has formed between her and Lin Wenfang, making it impossible for them to live together peacefully.
As Han's Jewelry grew stronger day by day, Han Ming and Shen Ruyan, a couple, worked well together, but their busy work schedules led to more and more arguments and less time spent together.
Finally, after Han's company went public after its first round of financing, the conflict between the two broke out.
Han Ming wanted to take advantage of the situation to expand his business. He used 30% of Han's Jewelry's shares as collateral to continue raising funds and push Han's Jewelry onto the international stage.
Shen Ruyan, however, felt that Han's Jewelry had already developed rapidly enough, and should now focus on building brand reputation and influence before venturing into the international market in a couple of years.
Disagreements arose between the two, and naturally, they argued more and more.
Liu Qian appeared around that time.
Unlike Shen Ruyan, who was capable and independent, she was more like a parasitic flower, supporting all of Han Ming's ideas.
Under Liu Qian's deliberate guidance, Han Ming increasingly felt that Shen Ruyan didn't understand him enough and had changed.
Upon hearing this, Fang Li suddenly frowned.
Whether it's Shen Ruyan or Han Ming who has changed, even the parties involved probably can't say for sure.
They were people who set off hand in hand, but they parted ways halfway through the journey, and all because of a few small provocations.
Shen Ruyan couldn't persuade Han Ming, and Han Ming still did things his way.
Perhaps it was good luck, but he actually succeeded.
Han's Jewelry fired its first shot in the international arena, but soon after, a crisis followed.
The investors actually took advantage of Han's Jewelry's rising fame and dumped their shares in the company.
In an instant, Han's Jewelry's shares were maliciously snatched up by its competitors, plunging the company into a complete crisis.
