Chapter 1286: Two Important Pieces of Information!

~7 min read 1,367 words

He Haiyang heard a scolding voice from behind him,

and subconsciously turned around.

His wife, Shen Minghan, was actually standing behind him.

It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over him from head to toe!

How could she have appeared here?

His first reaction was, was he dreaming?

"Wife, why are you here?"

Shen Minghan could not believe everything before her eyes.

Was this her husband?

That man who loved his wife as if she were his life?

Her heart pained to the extreme, and she sneered, "I heard you had too much to drink and was worried you were uncomfortable, so I came to take care of you. It turns out I was overthinking it. My appearance has ruined your good time."

He Haiyang signaled frantically to Wu Lie.

Wu Lie felt guilty; she grabbed the quilt, wrapped it around her body, and wanted to flee.

Shen Minghan grabbed Wu Lie's wrist, and with a crisp *slap*, Wu Lie covered her face, lowered her head, and bit her lip, not daring to look up at Shen Minghan.

"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, it was my fault."

Shen Minghan laughed out of extreme anger, "Your fault? No, you aren't wrong. You are very smart; you know that if you seize an opportunity, you can change your destiny."

Afterward, she looked at He Haiyang and said, "You aren't wrong either. You are a successful man, and you aren't lacking in temptations around you. The one who is wrong is me; I shouldn't have appeared here. I should have kept myself in the dark, so that you would always be that sensible, ambitious, and upright husband, and I would always live in my own world."

After saying this, tears flowed from the corners of Shen Minghan's eyes.

He Haiyang hurriedly grabbed Shen Minghan's wrist and begged, "Wife, I am truly sorry! I swear, she and I didn't go that far."

Shen Minghan mocked, "Yes, if I had arrived one minute later, you would have gone that far. I shouldn't have appeared and spoiled your fun."

He Haiyang knew he had to try his best to salvage the situation now, "Wife, please forgive me this once. As long as you forgive me, I am willing to agree to any condition you have."

Shen Minghan gave a bitter smile, "Once unfaithful, there will be a second time. I was very confident in our marriage and trusted you very much. But you have destroyed all of this. Don't worry, I'm leaving now. I won't disturb you any further; carry on!"

Shen Minghan broke free from He Haiyang's hand and walked straight outside.

He Haiyang discovered that someone was waiting for Shen Minghan outside.

Although he could not see the other person's face clearly, He Haiyang judged by the figure that it should be Shen Mingcheng's assistant, He Yu.

He Haiyang sat dejectedly on the sofa and pulled out a cigarette.

Wu Lie put on her clothes and stood in front of He Haiyang, tears pattering onto the floor.

"Secretary He, I'm sorry, today was all my fault."

He Haiyang waved his hand, "This matter has nothing to do with you; it's my own fault. You go; you don't need to come tomorrow."

Hearing He Haiyang's resolute tone, Wu Lie felt as if her heart had shattered; she bit her lip, and with red eyes, said, "Alright, then I'll go. Secretary He, please take care."

After Wu Lie left, He Haiyang felt the manic agitation in his body slowly subside.

He tried to dial his wife's phone, but only heard the prompt that it was powered off.

He Haiyang grabbed his hair in pain.

His mood was terrible right now.

Ever since he met Shen Minghan, he had been working hard to maintain the role of a good husband.

Over time, living behind a mask had become a habit in his life.

He actually didn't like his brother-in-law at all.

Because Shen Mingcheng was just a fool who had been dealt a good hand of cards but played them into a mess.

But in order to maintain his image as a good husband, he had to cooperate with Shen Minghan.

He had spent a lot of energy when clearing Shen Mingcheng of his crimes.

He had also spared no effort during Shen Mingcheng's comeback.

However, because of today's turn of events, all of this had lost its meaning.

Sitting in the car, Shen Minghan wiped her tears incessantly, and soon the box of tissues was empty.

Many tear-soaked paper balls were left inside the car.

He Yu remained silent, thinking to himself that every family has its own difficult problems to deal with.

Even for a Deputy Department Level Official, it was still a mess.

He Yu dropped Shen Minghan off downstairs.

Shen Minghan suddenly called out to He Yu, "Little He, I feel terrible; could you stay with me for a while?"

He Yu was stunned for a moment, wondering to himself if Shen Minghan wanted to take revenge on He Haiyang.

Or perhaps, he was overthinking it.

"Sister, it's getting late. If I go up, a man and a woman alone, it's not very convenient."

Shen Minghan gave a self-deprecating smile, "That's true! You go back; I'd better just calm down by myself."

Seeing Shen Minghan's unsteady gait, swaying left and right, looking utterly devastated, He Yu sighed inwardly, "I'll see you upstairs."

Walking into the house, Shen Minghan went straight to the liquor cabinet, took out a bottle of foreign spirits, filled a glass, tilted her head back, and finished it in one breath!

He Yu noticed Shen Minghan was choking, so he hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it to her.

"Sister, don't torture yourself because of someone else's mistake."

Shen Minghan suddenly stared at He Yu and asked softly, "Little He, am I old and ugly?"

He Yu was stunned and hurriedly comforted her, "How could that be? You are very beautiful and look very young; how could you have such a thought?"

Shen Minghan shook her head and sighed, "I used to be very confident and very satisfied with my marriage. But now, I've changed my mind. Those so-called promises of 'forever' and 'always being the same'—they're all bullshit."

He Yu said, "You can't say it like that; I still believe in love."

Shen Minghan suddenly stared at He Yu, "Do you think I am very annoying?"

He Yu shook his head, "How could that be? You asked me about my standards for a partner; actually, by your standards, you are the most perfect."

Shen Minghan, carrying some drunkenness, gently propped her chin with her hand, "You usually seem quite honest, I didn't expect you to also use sweet talk. Sure enough, all men under heaven are the same."

Shen Minghan poured a glass of foreign liquor for He Yu, "Come, have a drink with me."

He Yu refused, "I still have to drive, so I won't drink."

Shen Minghan drank several more glasses in a row and soon fell drunk.

He Yu carried Shen Minghan into the room,

gazing at Shen Minghan's enchanting and mature figure,

he secretly thought that Shen Minghan's hints were very obvious.

Although she was over forty, she still possessed charm.

Moreover, she was still Secretary He's wife.

As a man, it was very difficult to remain unmoved.

However, he was currently executing an undercover mission and could not act recklessly.

Arriving inside the car, he felt his heart still pounding.

After adjusting his emotions, He Yu dialed Wan Ming's phone number.

"Bureau Chief Wan, there are two pieces of important intelligence I need to report to you."

Wan Ming nodded slightly, "Please speak!"

He Yu said, "There are two things. The first thing is that the affair between He Haiyang and Wu Lie was discovered by Shen Minghan; the second thing is that Shen Mingcheng accessed the prenatal check-up information of County Magistrate Tang's wife, and I suspect he will be detrimental to County Magistrate Tang."

Seeing that it concerned Tang Ye, Wan Ming immediately became alert and urged, "You must pay attention to your personal safety! Remember to report in time if there is any movement!"
