Chapter 231 - Chapter 231: Chapter 140: Know Yourself and Your Enemy (2/2)
Han Yu felt the deep concern from his wife and was touched. Any other woman might not be willing to give up the prospects of wealth and honor, but this proved his wife was a person with a clear mind, truly caring and devoted to her husband.
“Don’t worry, I have my awareness. Your husband is not an ordinary man—how could I let them take advantage of me? However, being able to detect the situation in time this round, I owe it to someone’s help from behind the scenes,” Han Yu said, a sharp glint passing through his eyes. Although he trusted his wife, he also wanted to understand what was going on, and why that person was willing to help him, which left him somewhat puzzled about the person’s intentions. Knowing oneself and the enemy ensures victory in every battle, and Han Yu was never one to be passive. He was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
Su Wenyue was somewhat surprised to hear this, having thought it was Han Yu’s own men who had discovered it: “Someone helped? Who is it? Could it be friends from my father or brother’s side? We must thank them properly.”
Han Yu thought Su Wenyue seemed unaware, but he still laid the information and a message in front of her.
“At first, I was unclear about who was helping from behind, and I even suspected it might be a trap purposely set by the enemy. It took a long investigation and some clues to find out who it was, but I was quite surprised.”
Su Wenyue found Han Yu’s statement strange. If someone had the intention to help, why would they conceal their identity? And moreover, the identity that could surprise Han Yu.
“Could that person be a stranger to you? Or perhaps your enemy?” Su Wenyue ventured a guess.
“Neither; to me, the person is just a stranger, which is why I find it so peculiar. I truly can’t fathom his reasons for helping me. However, on the day you gave birth, I encountered him at the entrance to Su Mansion,” Han Yu said carefully, observing Su Wenyue’s reaction.
Su Wenyue’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Han Yu’s words, thinking back to that day when Sikong Ling had escorted her to Su Mansion. Could the person be Sikong Ling? But that seemed improbable…
“Who is it?” Su Wenyue asked with a hint of urgency in her voice, eager to confirm if that person was Sikong Ling.
“The Young Master of the Sikong Family, Sikong Ling.” Han Yu didn’t keep her in suspense and directly revealed the person’s identity.
Su Wenyue had initially only speculated and thought it unlikely, but Han Yu’s confirmation took her by surprise.
The person really was Sikong Ling! But what exactly was Sikong Ling trying to do, brazenly appearing before Han Yu, and why would he help Han Yu? The more Su Wenyue considered the reasons, the more complicated it became, and the more confused she was, even feeling a headache coming on. However, regardless of her thoughts, Su Wenyue didn’t believe Sikong Ling had good intentions. She needed to warn Han Yu to be wary of Sikong Ling, just in case he had set some sort of trap. That man was capable of the worst schemes; hopefully, they weren’t mistaking a wolf for a kind soul!
