Chapter 114 Who is your brother-in-law!

He Xun's words made a lot of sense, and Shen Li bit her lip.

If that's really the case, Zheng Lixuan's thoughts are far deeper than she imagined.

Shen Li said, "I originally thought that Zheng Lixuan usually acted timid and cautious in front of Shen Wenzhong, as if Shen Wenzhong had the final say in everything."

I never expected Zheng Lixuan to have so many thoughts.

“Shen Wenzhong must think so too. He thinks he’s the one who calls the shots at home and that he’s extremely capable,” He Xun said with a faint smile.

"Actually, he has been jumping into the pits that others have dug for him all along, and he is very proud of it."

It wasn't hard to tell from He Xun's words that he disliked Shen Wenzhong. Shen Li actually thought similarly to He Xun; compared to her hatred for Zheng Lixuan, Shen Wenzhong was even more disgusting.

Zheng Lixuan, from her own perspective, schemed against others for her own and her child's benefit.

However, Shen Wenzhong helped outsiders plot against his own wife and children, even scheming for their lives.

Shen Li felt that He Xun was absolutely right.

It's no wonder that Shen Wenzhong has ended up like this, vanished without a trace.

Shen Li pondered for a moment, then continued, "Although when Zheng Lixuan came to see me before, she spoke in such a hurry, as if she was very worried about Shen Wenzhong's safety."

"But if there's little hope, or if Shen Wenzhong causes a lot of losses to the family, the first person to abandon him should be Zheng Lixuan."

Shen Li even felt that it was because she had survived that car accident that she was able to survive.

“If I had died with my mother back then, given Zheng Lixuan’s mindset, Shen Wenzhong would have been the next to die,” Shen Li said.

He Xun nodded, "Indeed, if you and Auntie had died back then, Shen Wenzhong would probably have died soon after marrying Zheng Lixuan."

"Zheng Lixuan is a womanizer. Given Shen Wenzhong's personality, I doubt she would show him any lingering affection or reluctance."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li twitched the corners of his mouth, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, making him look somewhat sarcastic.

There are many men in this world who have an inflated sense of self-importance, always thinking that the young mistresses they keep on the side are only with them because they love them to death.

Don't you even know your place? She's young and beautiful, what does she want from you? Is she after your age, or because you don't shower?

Isn't it all for your money?

Especially now that illegitimate children can also inherit property, as soon as Third Sister gets pregnant, she starts hoping you die.

On one hand, there's the prospect of spending decades of their prime caring for an emotionally unstable old man, while their own children are expected to support him in his old age. On the other hand, there's the option of the old man dying, simply taking his money and leaving, while they themselves remain young and have a bright future ahead.

Moreover, if Old Deng were to die suddenly, it is highly likely that there would be no will, and according to statutory inheritance, his illegitimate children could directly inherit the family property.

Anyone would know which side to choose.

He Xun: "So you see, she came to see you once, expressed her deep concern for Shen Wenzhong, and then she calmed down."

Shen Li thought about it and realized it was true. Not only did he not come to the hospital to look for her again, he didn't even make a phone call to ask about her.

"Brother, what should we do next? Shen Wenzhong has disappeared without a trace, and we don't know where he went." Shen Li frowned, looking worried.

"If he was really silenced by Lu Jikang's side, then there's even less chance of him testifying against Zheng Lixuan."

Before He Xun could answer, a weak voice came from behind.

"Don't worry."

Turning my head, I saw Lu Yanchuan behind me, sitting in a wheelchair with a portable oxygen tank on his body.

He still looked weak, and so did his voice.

But his gaze was intense, fixed on Shen Li.

“He will admit what he should admit, and he will point out what he should point out.” Lu Yanchuan took a breath of oxygen and continued, “Even if he is to die, he will finish doing all of this before he dies.”

He Xun raised an eyebrow at him. "What, Mr. Lu, are you afraid I'll kidnap her?"

If a friend said this, it would just be a casual joke.

In He Xun's words, it was undoubtedly a mockery.

But Lu Yanchuan showed no emotion whatsoever. After hearing this, he put on his oxygen mask and his eyes curved into a smile.

"Yes...of course I'm scared, brother-in-law...if you take...Lili away, where am I supposed to find her?"

The phrase "brother-in-law" in Lu Yanchuan's words not only surprised He Xun, but also clearly startled Shen Li.

"Who's your brother-in-law!" He Xun frowned, looking somewhat annoyed. How could Lu Yanchuan be so shameless?

Lu Yanchuan, on the other hand, smiled happily with his eyes crinkled.

Looking at his smiling face, Shen Li felt as if he had caught a chill and was trying to cough but was holding it in. His complexion was getting worse and worse. "Let's go back to the ward."

Shen Li went up and pushed his wheelchair back to the ward.

He Xun didn't linger and left first.

Shen Li sat by the hospital bed, peeling an apple while lost in thought.

"Lili..." Lu Yanchuan noticed that she was absent-minded and called her name.

"Hiss..." When Shen Li came to her senses, her hand moved erratically, and the blade cut her fingertip, from which blood immediately seeped out.

Lu Yanchuan frowned immediately and pressed the call button to summon a nurse to bandage her wound.

After being bandaged, Shen Li stared blankly at the bandage on her finger.

Lu Yanchuan said, "Are you still thinking about your dad and your stepmother?"

Shen Li sighed softly, "Even if Zheng Lixuan is identified by Shen Wenzhong in the end, so much time has passed, and many key pieces of evidence must have become blurred."

It will likely be very difficult to ensure that Zheng Lixuan is severely punished by law for what she did back then.

Hearing Shen Li's words, Lu Yanchuan grabbed her hand and looked down at the band-aid on her fingertip.

"Is that all? It's worth you... being so distracted... that you even...cut your finger?"

"Hmm?" Shen Li blinked and looked at Lu Yanchuan.

Lu Yanchuan continued, "Don't worry, if she really goes to jail, it won't be the most painful punishment for her."

Hearing his words, Shen Li sensed that he seemed to have a plan.

Her eyes lit up immediately.

Lu Yanchuan saw this woman with a beautiful and delicate face, and his eyes lit up instantly. Because he was very curious, she even lay down on the bedside table, looked up at him, and looked particularly... cute.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Shen Li asked. "Could it be that Shen Wenzhong... is under your control?"

Logically speaking, Shen Li shouldn't know too much.

But Lu Yanchuan was completely overwhelmed by her current appearance.

Although no details were given, it was only said, "If you like money and want to make her suffer, make her... go bankrupt and become destitute."
