CHAPTER 670: CHAPTER 670: CAME UP EMPTY-HANDED

"Cheng Yan, why is your face swollen like a pig’s head? Did your dad hit you?"

Besides Li Tianyi, Li Tianhong couldn’t think of anyone else who would lay a hand on Li Chengyan.

This wasn’t just hitting a child; this was going for the kill!

Li Chengyan was looking for a mask, but before he found one, the office door was pushed open, startling him.

Panicked, Li Chengyan hurriedly put on the mask he had just found.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

"I heard your company is having some trouble, so I came to see if there’s any way I can help."

Li Chengyan felt uncomfortable. He never expected Li Tianhong to come, let alone be so concerned about him.

"Uncle, thank you. We can handle the situation here, my parents are working on a solution."

"If your parents could solve it, they wouldn’t have had your grandpa step in back then." Li Tianhong understood clearly.

The sudden concern warmed Li Chengyan’s heart, leaving him unsure of how to face Li Tianhong.

"Uncle, my parents really can solve it, don’t worry."

Li Tianhong: "Cheng Yan, does your father’s temper surpass mine? Look at your face, how can you go out and meet people like this?"

"Uncle, I fell and hurt my face myself, no one hit me."

"Nephew, look into my eyes, do I have any problem with them?"

"Uncle, your eyes are perfectly fine."

"Since you know my eyes are fine, you should understand that I see very clearly. Your face doesn’t look like you fell, it looks like someone hit you."

Li Chengyan: "..."

Li Tianhong shook his head: "Old habits die hard. I always knew my brother still has a bad temper."

Li Tianhong sighed and left Li Chengyan’s office.

Turning around, he went to find Li Tianyi, persuading him not to lay a hand on Li Chengyan after much talking.

"Tianyi, you’re of a considerable age now, can’t you curb your temper a bit? Look at me, I didn’t control it in the past, and now I’ve become a lonely man. Ye Han ignores me, Dad is annoyed with me, and I’ve become a pitiful old man everyone dislikes."

Li Tianyi listened to Li Tianhong’s nonsense without wanting to respond at all.

Li Tianhong rambled on for ages with his heartfelt words, none of which Li Tianyi paid attention to.

"Tianyi, are you even listening to me?"

Li Tianyi: "I heard, I heard it all."

As if!

These words, no matter how much Li Tianhong said them, were infuriating to listen to.

Li Tianyi looked up: "Brother, do you have anything else? I have a meeting to attend, I don’t have time to chat with you here, sorry."

"Then go ahead." Li Tianhong stood up awkwardly.

Such a pointless conversation.

Li Tianhong walked out of the company alone, into the street outside, looking at the bustling crowd with a sense of speechless helplessness.

It seemed he had no friends, no family, only himself.

...

Meanwhile, Li Yehan soon learned about these events.

Secretary Zhao reported truthfully: "After Mr. Li went there, Li Tianyi didn’t chat much with him, using the excuse of a meeting to send him away."

Li Yehan’s lips curved into a cold smile: "He’s finally getting his day."

Secretary Zhao: "Li Tianyi indeed contacted people in Dao Country, hoping they would come over for support. Next, we’ll see who comes to aid Li Tianyi and if we can follow the trail to find some useful information."

Li Yehan: "You are in charge of following up, let me know if there are any updates."

"Yes, Mr. Li." Secretary Zhao left the office.

After a while, the office door was pushed open again.

Li Yehan didn’t lift his head: "Why didn’t you knock?"

The displeasure in his voice was particularly clear.

Nan Qiao: "Should I come in again?"

Li Yehan looked up and saw Nan Qiao standing at the door, rising to walk towards her.

"Of course, you don’t need to come in again, you can come however you please."

Nan Qiao evaded Li Yehan’s touch, skillfully walking into the office and sitting on the sofa.

Li Yehan looked at his empty hand, having touched nothing.

Qiaoqiao was angry?

Li Yehan quickly sat down next to Nan Qiao.

"Qiaoqiao, are you angry?"

"No."

"No, you must be angry." When Qiaoqiao wasn’t angry, she was never like this.

Li Yehan’s brain worked swiftly, pondering over which words he had spoken wrongly to anger Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao directly asked: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Li Yehan instantly understood why Nan Qiao was upset.

"Are you talking about Uncle Fu?"

Nan Qiao raised an eyebrow, indeed, she was right.

Li Yehan told her the events, without hiding anything.

"This is something without basis, if I told you, you’d rack your brains trying to figure out and investigate, which would only add to your worries, so it’s better not to tell you."

Nan Qiao: "Your consideration wasn’t wrong, but I still need to know these things, don’t I?"

"Right, everything Qiaoqiao says is right."

Nan Qiao: "..."

"Since you know I’m right, you should have told me earlier. If Uncle Fu told you these things, it’s definitely because he actually heard them. It seems Grandpa’s injury was deliberate, not an accident!"

Nan Qiao was almost certain of this fact!

"I suspect it was deliberate as well, but currently, there’s no evidence pointing to Li Tianyi and Mei Tian Sha Zi, they both have alibis. Not only that, from the statements of the people who stayed at Li Tianyi’s house that night, those servants didn’t go upstairs."

With this analysis from Li Yehan, Nan Qiao understood his point even more.

Without evidence, they couldn’t hold Mei Tian Sha Zi and Li Tianyi accountable.

Nan Qiao knew these two weren’t easy to deal with, and couldn’t afford to be careless.

"Start by looking into the people who contacted them, and check the nearby surveillance footage one by one. If someone passed by, there will surely be traces." Nan Qiao pondered.

Li Yehan: "I’ve already assigned people to investigate, I’ll definitely tell you if there’s news, so don’t wear yourself out investigating on your own."

Nan Qiao leaned back on the sofa, exhaling: "We’ve run into a tough adversary, it’s hard to deal with."

Li Yehan reached out and gently pinched her cheek: "Qiaoqiao, being overly sentimental is not your style. Facing problems without fear, that’s your style."

"Your second uncle has already found someone to cooperate with, just got the news, he’s identified a partner."

Li Yehan slightly furrowed his brow, Secretary Zhao had just told him that Li Tianyi was looking for partners, and he had found someone so quickly to assist?

Has Li Tianyi acted this fast?

Secretary Zhao’s information was quite limited!

Li Yehan’s phone on the table rang with a notification sound, he walked over to pick it up, it was a message from Secretary Zhao, the content was exactly what Nan Qiao had just told him.

"They’re acting so fast, I want to see if they can handle this mess." A cold light flickered in the depths of Li Yehan’s eyes.
