Then Grandpa Xie burst into laughter, "Really? Our Lili is indeed a good child... Yes, yes, just like me, just like me!"

After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Xie's smile vanished instantly, and he glanced at Wang Zhian indifferently.

"I, Xie Buyun, am not senile. I merely called Director Wang to inquire about the situation. What, is that not allowed?"

Wang Zhian took a step back and explained calmly, "Sir, you've misunderstood me."

As the Xie family's chief lawyer, he had the right to remind Mr. Xie to avoid all risks and protect the Xie family's interests.

Xie Yunqiu was a little anxious about what had just happened on the phone, and asked with feigned concern, "Is Xie Li alright? My sister-in-law is really something, how can she just ignore the child like that..."

Old Master Xie's expression darkened slightly; he was indeed very dissatisfied with Ding Huizhu.

“Your sister-in-law is getting more and more confused; she doesn’t act like a mother at all.”

Xie Yunqiu was secretly delighted. She had been fighting with Ding Huizhu for so many years. Although Old Master Xie was not satisfied with Ding Huizhu as his daughter-in-law, he never favored either side.

This was the first time that Ding Huizhu had been reprimanded in front of so many people for being muddle-headed and not behaving like a mother.

So, Xie Li really did cause a huge disaster and got locked up?

Before Xie Yunqiu's joy had faded, she heard Grandpa Xie continue, "Lili was clearly a hero today. That training institution has problems; it's operating illegally and even sets up its own punishments. Lili saved many people. The police said they want to award Lili a medal and a banner for her heroic act!"

Xie Yunqiu: "!!!"

Jiang Baili couldn't help but ask, "Wasn't Xie Li arrested by the police for causing trouble and assaulting people?"

"Oh," Grandpa Xie said leisurely, "Those were fake police officers. They had been entrenched for a long time and had done a lot of illegal and criminal things. It was only thanks to Lili that we were able to take them all down today."

Jiang Baili slowly tightened her grip on the phone.

How could this be? Wasn't Xie Li locked up for breaking the law?

Jiang Baili's phone vibrated slightly in her palm. She couldn't help but glance at it; it was the latest WeChat group chat message.

"Oh my god, really? Then Xie Li is doomed!"

"You've been criminally detained by the police and have a criminal record. You still want to stay at Linjiang No. 1 Middle School? Dream on!"

"Don't worry, the school will definitely expel Xie Li as soon as they find out. Just wait, there will be good news on Monday!"

"By the way, Belle, could you get some photos from the scene? Or maybe photos of Xie Li being held captive? I'd like to do some publicity first~~"

Jiang Baili was extremely annoyed and simply turned off her phone, ignoring the questions in the group chat.

She wanted to, but Xie Li was perfectly fine and even praised by the police. Where was she supposed to get those embarrassing photos of Xie Li being detained?

Jiang Baili felt more irritated than ever before. Why couldn't Xie Li just make a fool of himself and make her happy?

——

After dinner, Xie Li went to Grandpa Xie's study.

The study contained many professional books on medicine and alchemy, which were carefully arranged on the bookshelves and numbered.

It's clear that Mr. Xie is very knowledgeable and cherishes these books.

The housekeeper, Wu, who was ordered to open the study for Xie Li, eagerly introduced the books to Xie Li: "The old master cherishes these books very much, and he rarely lets anyone in except for the cleaning staff..."

Ding Huizhu passed by the study and saw the commotion. She walked over with some surprise, smiling as she asked, "Belle, are you going to read in the old man's study?"
