"I..." Yin Yuhan stammered, blushing as she argued, "What I mean is, you shouldn't have acted so extremely, lest you get yourself into trouble!"

"Alright, Yuhan, no matter what, it's fortunate that Brother Huo is here, otherwise we would be in trouble!" Li Qingran interrupted. "Let's go back as soon as possible, lest Sun Guangbin catch up, which would be even more troublesome!"

Yin Yuhan pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

After the three people got into the car, it drove away from the prison gate.

Before long, it stopped in front of an old house.

The house is somewhat dilapidated and has long lost its former prosperity and glory.

Thinking of his loved ones' voices and smiles, Chen Huo clenched his fists.

"Brother Huo, your elder brother's grave is in the backyard. Let's go and pay our respects to them first!" Li Qingran took out the incense, candles, and paper money that he had prepared beforehand.

Chen Huo nodded, walked through the front yard, and saw more than a dozen tombstones.

Those are all direct relatives of the Chen family!

He lit incense and paper money, laid out the offerings, and knelt heavily on both knees: "Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad, Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law... and all the relatives of the Chen family, I've come back to see you!"

"I survived five years ago. Five years later, I am determined to find the real culprit, avenge you, and reclaim everything the Chen family has lost!"

Li Qingran was also moved: "My brother-in-law and his family in heaven would be so happy to see you're alright!"

"Brother Huo, what are your plans for the future?"

"Find out the people who framed me and caused the death of the Chen family, and restore the honor of my Chen family!" Chen Huo said firmly.

Yin Yuhan couldn't help but retort, "Chen Huo, can't you face reality for once!"

"The Chen family is long gone now. What can a convict like you do?"

"In my opinion, what you need to do right now is find a good job and start over, so you can support yourself first!"

"You're quite skilled. How about becoming my bodyguard?"

"No interest!" Chen Huo uttered three words.

"You..." Yin Yuhan was annoyed again.

I meant well, but this guy doesn't even appreciate it!

"Brother Huo!" Li Qingran advised, "Brother Huo, Yu Han's words may be harsh, but they are the reality!"

"If you don't want to be a bodyguard, you can come to the company and be my assistant. You can learn as you go, and once you're proficient enough, you can take over the company. After all, it originally belonged to the Chen family!"

"Qingran, is this really necessary?" Yin Yuhan shook her head. "We all know the Chen Group's situation very well. They're short of funds and need at least 80 million to fill the gap, otherwise they could grind to a halt or even go bankrupt at any time!"

"It's better to sell it off quickly and have some money to live on if he's frugal!"

Li Qingran bit her lip: "But this is the only remaining asset the Chen family has; I don't want to give it up easily!"

"Haven't you done enough?" Yin Yuhan said indignantly. "You and the Chen family are at most related by marriage. You've given enough over the years, do you still want to tie yourself down?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Huo frowned: "Qingran, what's going on?"

"Brother Huo..." Li Qingran sighed. After the Chen family's misfortune, various forces were eyeing the family's assets and divided them up completely.

She went to great lengths to acquire a company and a house from the Chen family.

Unfortunately, one tree cannot support a river; without funds or connections, progress is fraught with difficulty, and the company's fortunes are declining.

If it weren't for Yin Yuhan's constant support, even going so far as to tie her own company to a similar boat, the company would probably have gone bankrupt long ago!

Chen Huo suddenly realized the truth.

It turns out that Li Qingran has sacrificed so much for the Chen family over the past five years.

Then there's Yin Yuhan, who, despite her sharp tongue, is a woman of deep affection and loyalty.

"Qingran, thank you for everything! Don't worry, I will definitely make it up to you!"

"Brother Huo, why are you saying all this? If I were after something in return, I wouldn't have bothered to stick it out!" Li Qingran shook her head. The reason she was willing to do this for the Chen family was partly because the Chen family had treated her and her sister very well in the past.

On the other hand, her sister asked her before she died that if she could help the Chen family, she must lend a hand.

She did this simply to repay the Chen family and to fulfill her sister's request.

Chen Huo didn't say anything more, and looked at Yin Yuhan: "Thank you for your help! However, the Chen family's company will not be sold, and I will take care of the money!"

"You?" Yin Yuhan raised an eyebrow. "Eighty million is no small sum. What can you do about it?"

"I still have some money with my fiancée. Getting her to come up with 80 million should be a piece of cake!" A beautiful face involuntarily appeared in Chen Huo's mind.

He and his fiancée, Zhang Yudi, were in a free-love relationship and had a five-year emotional foundation.

If it weren't for the accident back then, the two might have gotten married and started a family long ago.

"That one from the Zhang family?" Yin Yuhan scoffed immediately. "Chen Huo, you're too naive!"

"Putting aside the fact that you and Zhang Yudi have been separated for so long, in these past five years alone, if she had any feelings for you, she wouldn't have stood idly by and never helped the Chen family!"

"You're still hoping she'll give you money!"

Chen Huo's expression darkened.

Has Zhang Yudi already changed her mind?

Regardless, I have to go, and at least make it clear: "I'll be right back, wait for my news!"

"Why won't this guy listen to advice!" Yin Yuhan said, speechless. "Now that the Chen family is gone, why would the Zhang family acknowledge him? They might even humiliate him!"

"Yu Han, let Huo Ge go. After all, she's his fiancée!" Li Qingran said.

"Yeah, you only know reality after you hit a wall!" Yin Yuhan pouted.

"Yuhan, I still don't want to give up! The Chen family has suffered enough, and Huo Ge is their only son. They can't just come out with nothing!" Li Qingran bit her lip. "I want to go home and borrow money!"

"What?" Yin Yuhan's expression changed. "Your snobbish relatives would actually agree to lend you money? Wouldn't that be humiliating?"

"Well, we have to give it a try!" Li Qingran said quietly.

"Fine, I'll go with you!" Yin Yuhan was at her wit's end with her best friend. "Consider it my last act of kindness as your sister! If it really doesn't work, then we'll just have to sell the company!"

"Yuhan, thank you!"

"Why are we talking about this? Let's go!"

The two got into the car and headed towards Li Qingran's house.
