"Ah...it hurts so much..." Liu Hai struggled as he pondered why he was in this state. When his eyes inadvertently fell on the lunchbox beside him, he instantly realized that something had been added to the food he had just eaten.

Han Qiulin only came over to talk; they were separated by the railing and had no contact whatsoever, so it couldn't have been Han Qiulin who did it. That leaves only the old man.

The old man actually wanted to die?!

No, no, he can't die yet. He's worked himself to the bone all these years, he shouldn't end up like this. Thinking of this, Liu Hai used all his strength to shout for help while he still had a breath left.

If they could save my life, I might say...

Liu Hai's voice wasn't loud, but the guards in the cell had been paying attention to the situation and quickly ran over to check. However, the poison was too potent, and by the time the doctor arrived, Liu Hai had already stopped breathing.

It was several hours later when Han Qiushi and Lin Xiaoxiao found out.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say, "Just as Dad guessed, either there will be a major upheaval in the capital, or the person behind it will take Liu Hai's life."

"I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly." Now that Liu Hai is dead, and we can't get any clues from him, everyone's investigation can only focus on Wan Li's side.

However, Lin Xiaoxiao believed that within one to two months at the latest, they would definitely find out the identity of the so-called old man they were talking about. Once the identity was confirmed, they would be able to arrest all these smugglers and traitors one by one.

At the same time that Lin Xiaoxiao and the others found out, Wanli also received the news.

After learning that Liu Hai had died of poisoning in prison, Wanli couldn't help but think that this was the old man's doing, and his expression remained extremely solemn all day.

He had things to do today, but his mind kept wandering while he was doing them, and in the end he didn't get anything done. So he simply put his work aside and went outside for a walk.

He walked until dark. After dinner, he made a decision. He wanted to persuade his family to prepare themselves, whether to go to Xianggan or abroad, to hide away first and come back after this storm had passed.

If things go well for the elderly, that's fine. But if things don't go well, with all of Liu Hai's crimes, the Liu family will definitely be affected as well, and the same goes for the Wan family.

If I stay safe and sound, the Wan family will definitely be fine. But if I get arrested like Liu Hai, his family's life will certainly not be as easy as it is now.

The Wan family has worked hard for decades to achieve this situation, and he doesn't want to destroy the foundation of the family because of himself.

After thinking it through, Wanli searched the room and pulled a gun out from a gap in the bedside table drawer before leaving.

After leaving, Wanli went to several places. Lin Xiaoxiao saw that these were all places where Wanli hid his money. She guessed that he was feeling uneasy and wanted to take a look. He didn't take the money inside, but only took a small portion with him when he left.

Lin Xiaoxiao, who was outside the surveillance camera, saw this and noted down Wanli's approximate location, planning to come and harvest the harvest the next day.

After Lin Xiaoxiao wrote it down, she continued watching the screen and saw that Wanli, who had taken the money, did not go anywhere else but went to the Wen family and found Wan Qing.

Hearing a knock on the door and seeing Wanli standing there, she couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Brother, why are you here at this hour? Did something happen at home?"

"Qingqing, come out first, I have something to tell you."

Wanli had already made up his mind. He could arrange things for his family members, but Wan Qing had already married Wen Tianshi, and he couldn't possibly arrange for someone else's wife to leave.

The Wen family is in dire straits right now, and all he can do is give his sister some financial help. He gave all the money he had just taken out to Wan Qing, saying, "Look at you, how does your wedding day compare to being at home?"

“You’ll definitely suffer a lot of grievances coming here. As your older brother, there’s nothing else I can do, but you can take this money and spend it. Remember, this money is for you to spend, not for you to use to subsidize the Wen family.”

"You can keep it to yourself."

Wan Qing happily took the money Wan Li handed over and glanced at it. She was surprised to find that there was quite a lot of money inside.

She thought Wanli was just being kind to her and giving her some pocket money, but she didn't expect him to be so generous. Looking at the money, she realized it was at least several thousand yuan, and not only money, but also tickets.

"Brother, where did you get so much money? Why did you suddenly give me so much money? Did something happen?" Wan Qing was spoiled, but not stupid.

How many things could that money do now?

She wasn't particularly happy about suddenly receiving so much money; instead, she felt a little uneasy.

Wanli shook his head: "I earned this money from some business deals. I can't say for sure, so please don't tell anyone. Just keep it for yourself."

"Now go back and secretly hide the money, then come out with Wen Tianshi. I have something to say to him."

Seeing that Wanli was more serious than usual, Wan Qing nodded blankly, went into the house to put the money away, and then called Wen Tianshi out.

When Wen Tianshi saw Wanli, he wanted to invite him in for a chat, as it wasn't appropriate for him to stand outside in the cold weather, especially since this man was his brother-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Wanli waved his hand and, without exchanging pleasantries, said directly to the two of them, "I have a factory that I'm cooperating with, which makes clothes, but I'm currently busy with other things and can't get away. I'd like to transfer the business to you."

"Listen carefully to what I'm about to say..."

Wanli and Liu Hai used the resources at their disposal to set up a small clothing factory under the guise of government funds, but in reality, most of the money ended up in their own pockets.

As long as the factory continues to operate, it will definitely make a lot of money. He can't take care of himself, but his family wants to go with him. The only person he can think of is Wan Qing.

Wan Qing doesn't know these things, but Wen Tianshi is a clear-headed person, so he feels relatively at ease leaving things to them.

Anyway, Wan Qing could also enjoy the profits, so he didn't care about such things under the circumstances.

The three of them stood outside the Wen family's house for over an hour before they finally finished speaking.

"That's how it is. You don't need to do anything; just keep an eye on the accounts. Okay, now that I've finished explaining these things to you, I still need to go and hand over these matters to my partners. I'll take you to see them tomorrow."

"If there are no problems, Wen Tianshi, you can take over the factory with someone you trust." After Wanli finished speaking, he told the newlyweds to go back and rest.

Wan Qing knew her brother loved her dearly, but she sensed something was off about him today. She had a lot to ask, but before she could even voice her questions, Wan Li turned and left, giving them no chance to speak.
