Chapter 346 Pay attention to safety
As she spoke, I noticed that her originally tense body stiffened slightly. She subconsciously stirred the food in front of her with the chopsticks in her hand. Her eyes were empty, and she was obviously lost in thought.
At this moment, the phone in my pocket vibrated slightly. I took it out quietly to check. It was a message from Xu Sisi who was on standby outside the restaurant: "Sister Gu, I'm watching outside. Please provide support at any time if there is any situation. Remember to guide her to reveal the key information." I nodded slightly to indicate that I received it, and at the same time secretly reminded myself to keep the rhythm.
After a long while, Mr. Li's wife slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and her voice was choked with sobs: "I have endured too much alone over the years, and I really don't know what to do."
I quickly reached out and gently held her cold hand, saying softly, "Don't be afraid. From now on, we will always be with you. If you are willing, can you tell me about your family situation first? It may help our investigation."
She took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up all her courage, and began to tell the story, starting from Mr. Li's initial gentleness and recalling the sweet times they had shared. A barely perceptible tenderness flashed in her eyes. She changed the subject and talked about how as Mr. Li's career developed, his temperament changed drastically and he began to beat her. Her voice trembled instantly.
Talking about the control of the family finances, she was helpless: "He manages all the money in the family. If I want to buy something, I have to ask him for money. If I don't like it, he will beat and scold me. He has isolated all my friends and I feel completely isolated and helpless."
I listened quietly and gave comforting responses at the right time: "This is too much, you shouldn't have suffered this, we will do our best to help you get justice." At the same time, I quietly sent a message to Xu Sisi, asking her to record these key contents.
The meal time passed quietly, and the distance between us was obviously shortened. The look in her eyes when she looked at me changed from initial wariness to a hint of trust.
For the next few days, I contacted her every now and then, cared about her life, and shared interesting things, just to make her feel cared for. Sometimes, I would ask her to take a walk together, and Xu Sisi would follow behind, not too far away, secretly guarding.
Once, when we were resting on a park bench, she suddenly said, "I feel like you are different from others and really care about me." I smiled and responded, "Because we really want to help you out of your predicament."
Finally, during an in-depth conversation, she looked at me firmly and took the initiative to say, "I believe you and am willing to tell you everything I know. I want to get rid of this kind of life."
Great, we finally succeeded. The next step depends on Lin Xiaxia and the others. Xu Sisi was behind the scenes most of the time this time and made an important contribution as well. She invited us last time, so as the boss, we should reward them well this time.
Here, Jiang Yichen has been paying attention to my life.
"What's going on? Is it resolved?" Jiang Yichen's low voice came from the phone.
"It's almost done," I said softly, "Xu Sisi has agreed to cooperate. Now we just have to wait for Lin Xia to close the net."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment: "You are too tired recently, do you want to take a few days off?"
I rubbed my solar plexus and felt exhausted. During this period of time, I had to appease Xu Sisi's emotions and cooperate with Lin Xia's investigation, which really consumed a lot of energy.
"Wait till this is over," I said. "It's not time to rest yet."
"Lin Nan has already prepared the information, so you don't have to worry."
"What information?"
"It's his company..."
After hanging up the phone, I turned on the computer and retrieved the information Lin Xiaoxia had provided over the past few days. This evidence was enough to prove that Mr. Li had used the money from the company to do his own private business.
What is even more shocking is that they are also suspected of money laundering and illegal fundraising.
I took a deep breath and tried to recover from the shocking information. I was going to meet Mr. Li's wife tomorrow, and the information in my hand, which was enough to bring the Li family to ruin, seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
I carefully organized the documents and repeatedly confirmed every detail, making sure no mistakes would occur at this critical juncture.
I looked at the time, thinking that Xiao Huai should have woken up, and I felt guilty. I was busy with investigations these days, and had very little time to spend with him.
I decided to go back today and spend some time with Xiao Huai.
I quickened my pace, my heart full of longing for Xiao Huai. As soon as I pushed open the door, I saw Xiao Huai sitting on the crawling mat playing with toys. He raised his head, his bright eyes instantly curved into crescents, his mouth grinned to reveal a few small baby teeth, and he waved his hands happily. "Ah! Ah!" He called out incoherently, although it was not a complete word, it seemed to express his joy of seeing me.
Grandma came out of the living room, holding Xiao Huai's clothes. When she saw me, she immediately smiled, full of relief and love. "Finally you're back. Xiao Huai kept looking at the door these days, as if he knew you were coming back." Grandma said, and walked quickly to my side and took the bag from my hand.
I picked up Xiao Huai and kissed his chubby cheeks again and again, "Xiao Huai, do you miss your mother?" Xiao Huai giggled, holding my collar tightly with his little hands, mumbling something in his mouth, as if responding to me. "I heard that Xiao Huai can call grandma, how amazing!"
I looked at my grandmother, her eyes full of pride. She smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits, "That's right, this child is very smart and learns very quickly."
At this time, the phone screen lit up, it was a video call initiated by Jiang Yichen. I quickly answered it, and Jiang Yichen's familiar face appeared on the screen. "Baby, are you done today?" Jiang Yichen asked with a smile, looking at Xiao Huai and me gently. Xiao Huai stared at the phone screen curiously and reached out to grab it.
"Dad!" Xiao Huai suddenly called out in a baby voice. Although the pronunciation was not quite standard, these two words flowed through our hearts like a warm current. Jiang Yichen's eyes widened in surprise, "Xiao Huai can call dad! Great, baby!"
Grandma also came to the screen and asked, "How are you over there? Don't work too hard on yourself." "Grandma, I'm fine. You, Xiaohuai and her should take care of yourselves."
"dad."
Suddenly I saw a familiar face appear on the screen. It was Jiang Yichen's father.
Jiang Yichen responded with a smile.
I was telling them about the interesting things that happened to Xiao Huai in the past few days, while grandma was talking about trivial matters at home. Jiang Yichen was listening carefully, interjecting a few words from time to time, making everyone laugh.
Looking at Jiang Yichen's smiling face on the screen, the fatigue in my heart suddenly disappeared a lot.
Why does it feel like Jiang Yichen has become more handsome in the video? I looked at Jiang Yichen carefully, and he jokingly said, "What's wrong? Did you miss me too much that you suddenly stopped talking?"
"No, there is no way. Please be careful over there."
