Ten minutes later, Hu Xi's family arrived safely inside the space. After waking them all up, Jiang Huashu didn't explain much, as saying more would only make more mistakes. He simply said nothing. Professor Dong enthusiastically took them to the villa. Just as he returned from making the arrangements, Hu Xi had received news. Zhang Xiaoli had sent people to arrest his brother, but they came up empty-handed.
It happened so fast, so dangerous. It's still unknown how many places Zhang Xiaoli's people have visited. They must have been unable to find the person anywhere before they dared to go directly to the door to arrest him. This is why Hu Xi wanted to send the two children and the rest of the family into the space from the beginning. With time, Zhang Xiaoli would surely discover some clues. It would be better to just go into the space and never find them again.
Hu Xi's actions were launched, and the next day Zhang Xiaoli received a notification. She had never dreamed that Hu Xi could still be alive. After so many days, with no sign of him alive or dead, Zhang Xiaoli and Lao Liu both assumed Hu Xi was dead. It wasn't until his men in Harbin called to say the two children were missing that Zhang Xiaoli realized something was amiss. She assumed it was Hu Dong, the only capable and intelligent member of the Hu family.
It was too late at this time. Before she could go to Hu Dong to ask for the child, the video of her talking with Lao Liu and the bed photos were already in the hands of the court.
Did Zhang Xiaoli truly love Lao Liu? No! Zhang Xiaoli loved no one but herself and her money. She'd endured the pain of poverty as a child, and now that her husband was finally dead, she wanted to transfer all their property, making it hers alone, not theirs. Even Lao Liu, the bed-sitter, had discovered Zhang Xiaoli's plans. He was just getting into trouble with Zhang Xiaoli when he received a court summons.
The secretary led the court staff to Zhang Xiaoli, who was stunned when she took it. The plaintiff was Hu Xi. This meant Hu Xi wasn't dead. Trembling, Zhang Xiaoli signed the paper and sent the court staff away. She quickly closed the door and discussed countermeasures with Lao Liu. Lao Liu already had a problem with Zhang Xiaoli, but seeing that things were spiraling out of control, he suddenly had a lot of thoughts. He just wanted to withdraw and no longer get involved in Zhang Xiaoli's affairs.
But it was a good idea. Was Zhang Xiaoli a simple woman? Lao Liu's experience told him no! She was a woman who would even kill the husband who had raised her. If he dared to quit, he probably wouldn't survive more than three days. And that was a conservative estimate; if he was more radical, he could even do it tonight.
Zhang Xiaoli was just as panicked as Lao Liu, perhaps even more so. She hadn't expected Hu Xi to come to her in this way. Given Hu Xi's personality, he certainly wouldn't press charges, but would instead directly question Zhang Xiaoli, giving her a chance to defend herself.
Why the change of tactics? Because that's what Jiang Huashu taught him. If something violates the law, let the law handle it; don't resort to foolish tactics yourself. Jiang Huashu also taught him the basics: sometimes revenge doesn't necessarily require violence; only a dull knife can hurt. Hu Xi thought it made perfect sense and decided to follow Jiang Huashu's advice.
Back to Zhang Xiaoli, after her "Guess What, Guess What" performance with Lao Liu, a crack appeared in their relationship for the first time. Although Lao Liu tried his best to hide it, fear could not be concealed. He no longer had any love for Zhang Xiaoli. He no longer loved her as much as before, and now he just wanted to stay away from her, as far away as possible.
