Chapter 212 - Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Conspiracy and Trap (2/2)

“Then let’s sleep together.” Han Yu knew that his wife had also been restless lately and must have not rested well. He decided to pull Su Wenyue down to sleep with him.

The sleep lasted more than an hour. When Han Yu woke up, Su Wenyue was still asleep. Thinking about how she hadn’t rested well in the past few days, Han Yu didn’t wake her up and let her continue sleeping, while he went to the study room.

“Who’s there!” The moment Han Yu entered the study, he instantly sensed something amiss. A shadow flitted by and escaped through the Window. By the time he gave chase, there was no trace to be found.

Han Yu’s expression turned grave. The intruder’s skills were too impressive; he might not have been completely confident in coming out on top in a confrontation. What was most troubling was the intruder’s exceptional light-footedness, making it impossible to catch up, and the daylight intrusion into his study was tantamount to a provocation. Clearly, the home’s defenses needed reinforcement; a few caretakers sent by his mother-in-law were insufficient. Although they could handle ordinary people, they were no match for someone with specialized training.

He couldn’t fathom the intruder’s purpose. With such skills, the person was clearly not an average thief and would not be after ordinary things.

Thinking of the two Art of War books, Han Yu’s expression became inscrutable. Could the intruder be after these books? But apart from himself, only his wife knew of them, and it was impossible for the information to have leaked. Returning to the study, Han Yu scanned the room and found nothing missing nor signs of disturbance, except for a few sheets of paper added to the table.

Han Yu picked them up to examine, his expression growing increasingly enigmatic and even more somber. He surmised the origin and intentions of the documents, finding himself somewhat puzzled. The information needed verification.

If true, the schemers behind it were exceptionally vile, deploying such tactics against him. They clearly wanted to eliminate him as a threat, seeing his existence as an obstacle. Considering what he had encountered this time, wasn’t their intention obvious? However, to eliminate him wouldn’t be an easy task! Han Yu grasped the documents tightly, his face showing a determination and ferocity Su Wenyue had never seen.

Han Yu then scrutinized the documents on the table from top to bottom, not overlooking any detail, and committed everything to memory. If the news and materials were legitimate, they could significantly aid him. Nonetheless, even with his confidence, venturing into a deliberate plot without full preparation could mean not coming out unscathed—or making it back alive. Perhaps the one who sent these documents and information was looking to assist him. Could it explain why the Man in Black, who could have infiltrated the study unnoticed at night, chose this particular moment, ensuring his discovery?

But the pressing matter was not to speculate about the sender’s intentions or identity; rather, it was to verify the credibility of the news and information and plan accordingly against their traps and schemes, mitigating the looming danger.

Thinking this, Han Yu immediately penned a letter and handed it to a caretaker, sending it to the Su Family. At the moment, only his wife’s parents’ home could assist him in swiftly verifying the authenticity of these documents while being utterly trustworthy.

After dispatching the letter to the Su Family, Han Yu made some corresponding arrangements and then heard the familiar footsteps at the door, so he had to lay down his pen.

“Daughter-in-law, why have you come? Be careful.” Han Yu had specifically instructed servants to accompany Su Wenyue until she woke and could be informed, but instead, Su Wenyue came by herself. He quickly went over to assist her.

“It’s alright. The doctor said I can’t just lie down all the time; I should move around a bit. I just came over to check on you,” reassured by Han Yu’s presence, Su Wenyue dismissed the servants by her side and allowed Han Yu to help her sit down.

“You go on with your work; don’t mind me. I’ll just sit here,” Su Wenyue said, her gaze drifting across the table to a few plates of snacks,
