"Relic!"

Han Peipei's words took everyone by surprise.

Even Lin Fan looked at her with confusion. He truly hadn't expected that the silver necklace given by his aunt had such a mysterious story behind it. It was astonishing.

"Didn't you know?"

Han Peipei raised her head and looked at Lin Fan's face, who then awkwardly smiled and said, "Honestly, I didn't know. This gift was prepared for me by someone else. She picked out this necklace, ensuring that you would like it."

Lin Fan's honest answer made Han Peipei pause, but she quickly let out a reassuring smile.

After taking the necklace off, she held it in the palm of her hand and pointed to the heart-shaped pendant, where the character "Hui" was clearly visible.

"This is my mother's name and her beloved possession. She wore it for many years, and my brother and I saw it when we were little. But later on, we didn't know where it went. My mother never mentioned it until her death. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I'd probably have forgotten."

Han Peipei's words sent Lin Fan's mind racing, though he still couldn't find an answer. One thing was for sure: Han Peipei's mother and his father must have some connection. Otherwise, it wouldn't have appeared in that sandalwood box.

"Alright, you've just returned. It's better you go inside and change into some new clothes. Lin Fan's clothes are wet too; go in together and change. The birthday party is about to begin. We can talk later."

With everyone gathered around, many things were inconvenient to discuss, so Liu Lingfei quickly ushered the two into the mansion to change clothes. Meanwhile, Han Longhu led the guests along the path to the venue, demonstrating gracefulness all the way. Naturally, everyone else stuck close to Han Longhu, as the Han family was renowned in the Provincial City.

In a corner where no one noticed, Wang Yaoyang picked up the phone and dialed a number. Soon, the call was answered.

"Young Master Wang, what brings you to call me?"

The voice on the line belonged to Zhao Chuanchun.

"County Magistrate Zhao, your Deputy County Magistrate Lin Fan is all the rage in the Provincial City now. You've really trained him well."

Wang Yaoyang said in a sarcastic tone.

"Young Master Wang, what do you mean by that? Lin Fan was forced in by the City, not my person. He's been stirring up quite a lot in Red Flag County these days, but how did he rub you the wrong way?"

Zhao Chuanchun asked puzzledly.

"There's too much to say, I'll skip it. Anyway, this brat has been going against me repeatedly since coming to the Provincial City. If you don't deal with this, I will take matters into my own hands."

Wang Yaoyang said grimly, "You used his hand to take down Huo Ben, which I turned a blind eye to. But if he dares to obstruct my plans, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Young Master Wang, there must be a misunderstanding. His matter with Huo Ben has nothing to do with me!"

Zhao Chuanchun hurriedly defended himself, but Wang Yaoyang wasn't having any of it.

"Don't think I don't know, you used him to clear the way for Wang Liyou by eliminating anyone blocking his path. But don't forget, without our Wang family's support, you'd lose your leader position completely."

Wang Yaoyang snorted coldly, "Also, your secret way of making money will be exposed, and by then, the outcome for either of us will be uncertain!"
