Li Xiyue was relieved to see the person being taken away.

Needless to say, that man was probably an enemy agent. Ordinary people would never know about the Thirteen Ghost Needles technique. Considering his previous actions, Li Xiyue concluded that he knocked the old man unconscious because he was after her.

Regardless of his motives, Li Xiyue would not let him succeed.

The old man regained consciousness and grasped Li Xiyue's hand, saying, "Young lady, thank you for saving this old woman."

"Grandma, you're welcome." Li Xiyue patted the old woman's hand and asked, "Where are your family members?"

The old woman said, "I came out to see my daughter alone. My son didn't agree to let me come, so I secretly ran away."

"You're getting on in years, it's too dangerous for you to go out alone. It would be better if your family accompanied you next time."

The old man nodded. "I'll remember that. Thank you, young lady."

Li Xiyue cautioned, "Please be careful..."

After thinking for a moment, she took out a cotton mask and handed it to the old man, saying, "Take this mask; it can block out some unpleasant odors."

Although it can't compare to modern medical masks, it's better than nothing.

The elderly woman accepted the mask and offered to pay her.

Li Xiyue refused to accept the mask. The old man had suffered because of her, so treating him and giving him the mask was her way of making amends.

After saying that, she returned to her seat without waiting for the old man to say anything more.

Huang Xinrui saw everything and her face was full of admiration.

Zhao Xiaoli was lost in thought, her head bowed and her expression unreadable.

Inside the interrogation room at the Public Security Bureau.

Police Captain Lü Hua looked at the exhausted Li Bowen in front of him and said, "Confess honestly. Once we find out, you'll only be sentenced more severely."

“Officer, I’ve said it many times already, I didn’t kill Liao Yujuan, she died accidentally.” Li Bowen took a deep breath and repeated.

Yes, he and Wang Huilan did get together while Liao Yujuan was still alive. After Liao Yujuan gave birth to Li Xiyue, she transferred the house to Li Xiyue, which he was very unhappy about. Coupled with Wang Huilan's frequent flirting, he couldn't hold back and succumbed to temptation.

He had only intended to have some fun with Wang Huilan, after all, Liao Yujuan came from a wealthy family, was good-looking, and had a good relationship with the deputy factory owner's family. He never thought of divorcing her.

Who knew that Wang Huilan would become pregnant soon after, and despite his objections, she secretly gave birth to Li Muqing. Wang Huilan was gentle and kind, and could fulfill all his fantasies in bed, so he continued to have an affair with Wang Huilan behind Liao Yujuan's back.

Unexpectedly, Liao Yujuan happened to witness it that day. Furious, Liao Yujuan went back to her parents' home and accidentally fell into the river, where she drowned.

Lu Hua asked, "Do you really think Liao Yujuan's death was an accident?"

"Isn't that right?" Li Bowen sensed something was wrong.

Lu Hua handed him a statement, saying, "Your lover, Wang Huilan, has confessed."

After quickly reading the confession, Li Bowen stood there stunned. Liao Yujuan was actually pushed into the river and killed by Wang Huilan?

He always thought that Wang Huilan was just greedy for small gains and liked to subsidize her family, and that she didn't have any other bad intentions. He never expected that she would kill Liao Yujuan behind his back.

Come to think of it, if she could secretly give birth to Li Muqing behind his back, what wouldn't she dare to do?

Lu Hua said seriously, "Although Liao Yujuan was killed by Wang Huilan, she wouldn't have died if you hadn't cheated on her during your marriage. You are also indirectly responsible for her death."

Li Bowen looked ashen-faced. He had lost his house, his job, and now he was implicated in a murder case. His life was over.

Then, as if remembering something, Lü Hua added, "By the way, I heard that your illegitimate daughter with Wang Huilan, Li Muqing, and your son, Li Mingliang, have also been sent to the countryside."

"What? My son went to the countryside?" Li Bowen asked anxiously.

He didn't care whether Li Muqing, that troublemaker, lived or died, but his son was the only male heir in the Li family, and he couldn't afford to have anything happen to him.

Lü Hua said, "It seems like they've gone to the desert to build up the motherland."

"The desert?!" Is that a place people go? Could my son really come back alive?

Li Bowen collapsed into dejection, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

This is retribution, it's all retribution.
