Chapter 1915: Chapter 1915: The Next Target Is You
"Mr. Jie, it’s confirmed, Dan Yi is truly dead, it’s not just a rumor." Yao hung up the phone, turned around, and respectfully reported.
"According to what we’ve heard, Dan Yi got into a conflict with a few inmates in the same detention center. Unexpectedly, he was pushed against the wall and hit the back of his head, causing a massive intracranial hemorrhage. It wasn’t discovered in time, and by the next day, when they realized something was wrong, his body was already cold."
"..."
Dan Hanjie narrowed his evil eyes, and a layer of ice covered his alluring face.
"How could there be such a coincidence? A perfectly healthy person, just gone like that. Although Dan Yi had committed many crimes, he was just about to be sentenced, and suddenly an accident happens? It all feels off somehow."
Qin Youxuan’s face turned a bit pale, and her bright cat-like eyes looked at the silent Dan Hanjie.
"This wasn’t an accident." After a long silence, Dan Hanjie faintly parted his lips.
"Go investigate, I want to know who was in the same room as Dan Yi, and who he had contact with before."
"Yes, I will investigate right away."
Yao nodded respectfully and turned to leave.
"Who do you suspect? Dan Yi was ruthless to everyone and everything, surely there are many who wanted him dead; it might not be so easy to find out." Qin Youxuan stood in front of Dan Hanjie, her small hand clutching his arm.
Dan Hanjie’s reaction was a bit strange; it was as if he was both surprised and expected it.
He exuded a deeply eerie aura all over.
"Dan Hanxi." Dan Hanjie slightly parted his thin lips and coldly squeezed out a name.
"..."
Qin Youxuan’s body trembled, and she suddenly raised her head, her cat-like eyes wide open, "Dan Yi was already going to be sentenced, at least for a ten-year term. At this point, is it worth taking such a big risk to make a move against him?"
"To Dan Hanxi, as long as Dan Yi is alive, he’s a threat. Moreover, Dan Yi and I are both responsible for killing Dan Rong. Dan Hanxi wants revenge now; how could he let Dan Yi go?"
If Dan Yi doesn’t die, Dan Hanxi won’t stop.
Such a good opportunity is right in front of him; how could Dan Hanxi let it pass?
A dead prisoner, dying over some trivial dispute—unless the Dan Family pursues it, even if investigated, probably nothing will come to light.
"If Dan Hanxi indeed had Dan Yi killed, then his next target would be you..." Qin Youxuan’s eyes tightened, and her small hand nervously clutched Dan Hanjie’s shirt, biting her lip.
"Don’t be afraid. Even if he wants to kill me, it depends on whether he has the chance. With the way he is now, even if you give him a gun, he might not be able to pull the trigger."
Dan Hanjie reached out and pulled Qin Youxuan into his arms, his large hand rubbing her small head.
"Have you forgotten what Diwu Zexuan said? Dan Hanxi’s body is deteriorating; within a month, he won’t even be able to sit up."
"...But I heard Diwu Zexuan say it. It seems like you don’t actually want Dan Hanxi to die, do you?" Qin Youxuan murmured softly, lifting her head from his embrace.
"Seeing him become like this, did you grow soft-hearted? After all, you two are brothers."
Back when Dan Hanjie was in his most painful times, Qin Youxuan, watching his sickness flare up, also wished fervently for the deaths of Dan Rong and Dan Hanxi.
But now both Dan Rong and Dan Yi are dead, and all the power of the Dan Family has fallen into the hands of the two brothers.
If they could let go of their hatred, whoever took over the Dan Family, it would be a good thing.
