He paused and looked at Jiang Yanshen without continuing.
“But what?” Gu Xici asked with a frown.
“But they said that they were drunk and saw the victim, so they committed the crime in the valley on impulse due to alcohol influence. No one instructed them to commit the crime.”
Hearing his words, Lin Qingqian suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, but Jiang Yanshen’s face was still cold, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.
Li Ruzhu was dumbfounded. Tears flowed down her face, and her face was filled with disbelief.
After less than 30 seconds of silence, she shouted hysterically, “It’s you… You bribed them… Jiang Yanshen, you demon. To think that I loved you so much.
You actually treated me like this…”
Jiang Yanshen was expressionless and pretended not to hear her curses. He held Lin Qingqian’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
Lin Qingqian came back to her senses and bade Gu Xici farewell before leaving.
Li Ruzhu’s mournful eyes were filled with red threads as she stared at Lin Qingqian’s back and cursed, “Lin Qingqian, he’s a demon. You b*tch won’t have a good ending in the future.”
Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks, his eyes emitting a terrifying coldness…
Lin Qingqian held his hand tightly and stared at his handsome side profile gently with her bright eyes. Her red lips curled up slightly. “I’m hungry. Let’s go eat.’
Jiang Yanshen turned his head and looked into her eyes. After a moment of silence, he nodded and pulled her away quickly.
Gu Xici glanced at the crazy Li Ruzhu with his hawk-like eyes and said impatiently, “Bring her to the interrogation room and inform her family to pick her up.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the office. He flipped through the documents and reports sent by his subordinates on his desk.
“Boss, what’s wrong? Your expression doesn’t look right…”
“How is it strange?” the subordinate asked.
Gu Xici leaned back and narrowed his eyes. He said slowly, “All the evidence proves that Jiang Yanshen couldn’t be present, but why does Li Ruzhu insist that Jiang Yanshen directed it?”
The subordinate thought for a few seconds and said, “Perhaps she wants to take the opportunity to take revenge? After all, she pursued Jiang Yanshen bitterly for many years without any results. It’s very difficult to accept such a thing suddenly happening. It’s normal for love to turn into hatred.”
“Is that so?” Gu Xici exhaled smoke thoughtfully. He felt that there was something strange about this case. Those three people admitted it too quickly.
“Boss, isn’t Jiang Yanshen your brother? Don’t you believe him?” The subordinate muttered as he sorted out the case information. “He’s so rich. Loads of people will help him if he wants to do anything. Is there a need for him to appear and cause trouble for himself?”
Gu Xici glanced at him and did not say anything…
It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Jiang Yanshen, but…
Forget it, perhaps he was thinking too much.
In the restaurant, Jiang Yanshen asked Lin Qingqian to order while he called Lu Yuan and asked him to deal with Li Ruzhu’s matter to prevent the media from finding out and causing a commotion.
After ordering, Lin Qingqian gave the menu to the attendant and suddenly thought of something very important.
“Oh no, I forgot about Xiao Bai.”
She hurriedly called Xiao Bai. The phone rang for a long time but no one picked up. Just as she was about to hang up, it was suddenly picked up. A familiar and weak voice came from the phone. “Hello, Qingqian…”
“I’m sorry, Xiao Bai! Something suddenly happened in the morning. I didn’t go to the temple and forgot to call you. I’m really sorry.”
“It’s fine. I’m not stupid. I came back by myself when I didn’t see you.”
Lin Qingqian heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that his voice did not sound angry. “I’m really sorry. I’ll treat you to a meal later.”
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first.”
“Bye.” Lin Qingqian hung up and met the man’s black eyes. Her lips curved.
“Fortunately, Xiao Bai isn’t angry.”
Jiang Yanshen lowered his eyes and hummed faintly without saying anything.
Han Liubai put down his phone and couldn’t help but cough.
The nurse took the cell phone away and put it down. She said gently, “Mr. Han, you need to rest well. Don’t look at the cell phone.”
Han Liubai did not say anything and nodded gently.
When the nurse walked out of the ward, Xu Wanlan happened to enter. Her expression was not good.
“President Han, I just spoke to the professor on the phone. He said that your health is getting worse and worse. He suggests that you return to England as soon as possible.”
After all, his body had always been treated by the professor’s team. Han Liubai lowered his long eyelashes and remained silent.
“President Han…’
Xu Wanlan wanted to say something, but he interrupted her. “Wanlan, I don’t want to go back yet.”
“President Han.” Xu Wanlan frowned slightly. “But your body…”
“I know my body.” After saying that, Han Liubai couldn’t help but cough again.
Xu Wanlan walked to the bedside table and poured him a glass of warm water.
Han Liubai stopped coughing and put down the cup after drinking a few mouthfuls of water.
“I’ve found out that the Ming Corporation has been acting frequently recently.
Someone said that Ming Yuan has always wanted to devour the Tianyue Group.
Even if we don’t take action, someone will. You can completely return to England to recuperate.”
Xu Wanlan’s gentle voice echoed in the ward.
Han Liu’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. He pursed his bloodless lips and remained silent.
Xu Wanlan was silent for a few seconds. “Is it because of Lin Qingqian?”
Because of Lin Qingqian, President Han was unwilling to return to England. Han Liubai looked up at her. “Lan City is about to change. I can’t leave now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he added silently, “I can’t leave her side at this time.”
“What about your body?” Xu Wanlan asked.
“I’m already used to it after so many years. Just take care of it carefully.” The corners of Han Liubai’s mouth curled into a forced smile as he said lightly, “You’re not allowed to spout nonsense in front of Qingqian. Otherwise, you’ll return to England immediately.”
Xu Wanlan bit her lip. “Yes, President Han.”
“What did you find out about Li Ruzhu?” He changed the topic and asked.
Xu Wanlan: “The three suspects have already confessed. No one can prove that
Jiang Yanshen ordered them to do this. He should be fine.”
Han Liubai’s gentle eyes gradually darkened. He pursed his lips and said, “He’s quite fast.”
“He?” Xu Wanlan was puzzled, not understanding who the “he” he was referring to was.
Han Liubai came back to his senses. “By the way, how’s the matter of getting someone to protect Qingqian?”
“We did, but Jiang Yanshen has already sent someone to protect Lin Qingqian.
There are also a few people in the dark. They can’t get close to Lin Qingqian.”
Han Liubai nodded. “Just let them keep an eye on her. Let me know if anything happens.”
“Yes.”
Seeing that he looked a little tired, Xu Wanlan said, “President Han, please rest well. Leave everything else to me.”
Han Liubai glanced at her and nodded slowly. With her help, he slowly lay down.
Xu Wanlan carefully covered him with the blanket and looked at his IV to confirm that there was no problem before walking out of the ward.
When she turned around and closed the door, she looked at the pale face on the bed and her heart ached.
You care about her so much, but how much does she know? How much can she repay you?
After Li Ruzhu’s matter went viral on the Internet for the entire morning, it disappeared completely, as if it had never happened.
For the sake of his face, Li Dashun locked Li Ruzhu in the room and did not let her out. There were still people watching at the door.
On the other hand, he hid at his mistress’s place to seek peace. His mistress had given birth to a son for him, and he doted on her as if she was his lifeblood.
Thinking of how Li Ruzhu, this good-for-nothing, had embarrassed him, he couldn’t help but resent Li Guilan.
If not for her son, he would not have been so embarrassed.
Li Guilan had originally called her sisters to play cards at home. When she saw his call, she thought that he was trying to curry favor with her. In the end, as soon as she picked up the call, she was scolded.
After hanging up, she did not know what had happened until her sister said, “Didn’t you acknowledge a goddaughter in the past? I heard that she was raped when she went out to drink. She insisted that your son got someone to do it.”
Li Guilan was stunned. She didn’t expect this to happen, but in the next second, she denied it on behalf of Jiang Yanshen. “How is that possible? My Yanshen is a good citizen who knows the law. How can he do such a heartless thing?”
How could they care if Jiang Yanshen do such a thing? They only wanted to win more money from her today.
Li Guilan thought about Li Ruzhu and was distracted. She lost three rounds in a row and did not want to play anymore.
The other three people were very observant and let her rest well. After winning the money, they left happily.
Li Guilan asked the servants to clean up the mahjong table and got up to return to her room to change her clothes. She carried her bag and went out.
After Jiang Yanshen sent Lin Qingqian to the company, he returned to the company for a meeting. When he returned to the office after the meeting, he saw Li Guilan sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.
When Li Guilan saw him, she hurriedly put down her coffee cup and stood up.
“Yanshen..
Jiang Yanshen walked to the office and sat down, not looking at her.
Li Guilan walked to the desk and hesitated for a few seconds before saying,
“Were you the one responsible for what happened to Ruzhu?”
Jiang Yanshen paused in the act of unscrewing the fountain pen. When he looked up at her, the light in his eyes was cold and sharp. “What if I say yes?”
Li Guilan was stunned, and waves appeared in her eyes. She took a deep breath and said, “Why did you do this?”
Jiang Yanshen’s eyes were cold, and his thin lips emitted a cold voice. “Do I need a reason to deal with the Li Family?”
“You… you want to deal with the Li Family?” Li Guilan’s eyes widened.
Jiang Yan looked at her deeply and did not say anything. He flipped through the documents and lowered his head to read.
Li Guilan was silent for a moment before she reacted and said nicely, “Yanshen, I was muddle-headed in the past, but I’ve already come to my senses and broken up with Li Dashun. Why do you have to…”
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yanshen suddenly looked up at her. “It’s broken off?”
The few short words were extremely sarcastic.
Did she really think that he didn’t know about her history with Li Dashun all these years?
Every time she finished arguing with Li Dashun, she would stick on him like a plaster.
Because of this, Li Dashun grabbed on and took endlessly from her.
And she had no position or principles at all.
“Madam Li, let me give you a piece of advice.” At this point, he could not even be bothered to call her mother.
His thin lips moved, and every word that escaped was wrapped in ice…
