Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Which Part Went Wrong

Director Nie looked at Nan Qiao, his eyes glowing as if she were the savior.

Facing this situation, Nan Qiao only felt overwhelmed.

“Director Nie, I’ve understood the situation here, and I suggest you send someone to check around again.”

“I’ve already sent people to investigate. I won’t sleep tonight until the matter is clarified.” Director Nie felt his mind pounding; there were too many issues.

He wouldn’t feel at ease if it wasn’t completed tonight.

“We’ll be leaving now, Director Nie, you should get busy.” Li Yehan removed Qiaoqiao’s gloves, held her hand, and left.

…

Li Tianyi found the food tasteless, exhausted from eating a single fish.

Mei Tian Sha Zi wasn’t any better, but she forced herself to remain calm, smiling despite it all.

Old Mr. Li observed their every move, putting down his chopsticks.

“Tianyi, if you don’t like eating fish, you can tell me directly. Next time I catch fish, I won’t bring them to you.” Old Mr. Li’s heart felt chilled.

At his age, besides providing materially, what else could he offer?

The companionship of an old man, who needs it?

Even after giving money, why does his biological son still look so lifeless?

Old Mr. Li’s mood, like the fish on the plate, had died.

Li Tianyi hurriedly forced a smile, “Dad, I really like eating fish. You know, as a child, I loved fish the most.”

“Tianyi, you can be yourself in front of me. Liking fish as a child doesn’t mean you still like it as an adult.”

“I love eating fish,” Mei Tian Sha Zi said.

“No, you don’t love it; none of you love it,” Old Mr. Li said.

Old Mr. Li’s face turned somber as he put down his chopsticks and stood up.

“Since you don’t like it, throw the fish away after I’m gone and get the kind you do like.”

Old Mr. Li shook his head, “Ah Fu, let’s go back. An old man like me, no one would like.”

Uncle Fu supported Old Mr. Li, “Master, how could you be an old man, clearly you are a wealthy old darling.”

“…” Old Mr. Li.

Old Mr. Li only felt goosebumps all over.

“Ah Fu, where did you learn these words?”

“I’ve been learning from young people surfing the internet recently, and they call your type an old darling,” Uncle Fu replied.

“…” Old Mr. Li.

“Old is old, why call it an old darling. Ah Fu, you should stop learning such things.” Old Mr. Li quickened his pace.

Uncle Fu cheerfully followed Old Mr. Li.

…

Li Tianyi and Mei Tian Sha Zi finally had time to do their own things, but they didn’t dare to act rashly.

Li Tianyi paced back and forth in the room, afraid to speak in the living room for fear of being discovered.

“How did it get exposed? Wasn’t the experiment always conducted in secret? At which stage did it go wrong?” Li Tianyi was furious.

Mei Tian Sha Zi quietly consoled, “Tianyi, there are several people who know about the laboratory, we should investigate, we can definitely find out.”

Li Tianyi sat down irritably and lit a cigarette, “Could it be that the last time you went out my dad saw you and had someone follow you? Didn’t you tell me you suspected someone was tailing you when you got back?”

Mei Tian Sha Zi’s expression froze momentarily, the possibility was too great.

If that were true, she couldn’t avoid the blame.

“Neither of us can leave the house, let’s find someone to investigate thoroughly.”

Li Tianyi gave Mei Tian Sha Zi a look.

She knew exactly whom to find.

…

Li Yehan brought Nan Qiao to Old Mr. Li’s house.

Uncle Fu left to give the three of them space to talk.

Old Mr. Li said solemnly, “Yehan, Qiaoqiao, what you suspect is very likely.”

Old Mr. Li continued, “I brought over a fish, and halfway through, Tianyi took a phone call. When he came back, his face was off. He thought he hid it well, not knowing I’ve eaten more salt than he’s eaten rice. How could I not see through it?”

Thinking about it, Old Mr. Li’s mood worsened.

“Yehan, Qiaoqiao, if this matter truly involves your second uncle. What will become of him?”

Li Yehan: “Grandpa, it seems you suspect him too.”

Nan Qiao: “Grandpa, why don’t you think this is all just a coincidence?”

Old Mr. Li shook his head, sadly leaning against the sofa, “Too coincidental; it must be the truth. If your investigation has results, can you tell me first?”

Nan Qiao: “Grandpa, if we have news, we’ll definitely inform you first.”

Old Mr. Li nodded softly, “Yehan, do you have any evidence in your hands now?”

“There is no conclusive evidence; it’s unconvincing to doubt based on coincidence.” Li Yehan addressed the matter directly.

Nan Qiao didn’t expect Old Mr. Li to proactively cooperate with Li Yehan’s plan.

From Li Tianyi’s reaction, one could more accurately discover the matter.

If it really was Li Tianyi who did it, Old Mr. Li would likely make a great sacrifice for justice.

“Qiaoqiao, let Yehan handle this. You still need to pay attention to your health; don’t overexert yourself,” Old Mr. Li said worriedly.

“Grandpa, I will take care of my health, don’t worry. I’ve practiced martial arts since I was young, my physical fitness is good, and there were no issues during check-ups.”

Old Mr. Li advised, “Yehan, you must take good care of Qiaoqiao; everything should be Qiaoqiao’s priority.”

“I will, Qiaoqiao is my life.”

“…” Old Mr. Li.

It’s hard for him at his age to still have to endure such affection, so difficult.

“Take Qiaoqiao home to rest first, let her replenish well, she is too thin.”

Li Yehan held Nan Qiao’s hand, standing up with her.

“We will leave first.”

Nan Qiao courteously spoke, “Grandpa, we’ll be leaving, do take care of yourself.”

Li Yehan held Nan Qiao’s hand as they left.

Old Mr. Li leaned against the sofa, looking worn and weary.

…

Nan Qiao sat in the car while Li Yehan drove.

“Grandpa truly is a seasoned person; he can really keep his composure.”

“If he couldn’t keep his composure, he would’ve been exposed. Rest assured, he’s stronger than we think.”

Nan Qiao laughed, “Li Yehan, if Grandpa heard you say that, he might be mad enough to want to hit someone.”

Old Mr. Li wasn’t young anymore; earlier, he was almost driven to death by Li Tianhong.

No matter how strong he wants to be, his age shows that he can’t compare to young people.

“Li Tianhong made so many mistakes, yet he could tolerate them. If it really is Li Tianyi, I believe he can handle it calmly as well.” Li Yehan ruffled Nan Qiao’s hair, “Qiaoqiao, don’t worry about these things. Just rest for a bit, and I’ll wake you when we get home.”

Nan Qiao: “…”

Li Yehan was too calm.

In the whole Li Family, perhaps only Li Yehan could calmly handle these matters, look at any situation that might drive others to act impulsively.

“Qiaoqiao, rest,” Li Yehan said indulgently.

Nan Qiao responded with a soft “mmm,” adjusted to a comfortable position, and took a good rest.

Li Yehan continued driving.

When they reached the gate, Li Yehan saw from a distance someone standing at the entrance.
