Chapter 155 Hurry up, I want to see her
Ji Ying clutched the hem of her hospital gown, remained silent for a moment, and then replied with only three words: "I won't see you."
Upon hearing this reply, Xue Qin was slightly taken aback.
Although it's unclear what her reasons were, this "refusal" actually made the most difficult move possible.
This ensured that her boss wouldn't get into trouble, while still allowing her to do everything she was supposed to do for him.
Liang Yizhi paused for two seconds, then looked at Liang Yanchuan, "You apply to see her as a lawyer."
Fearing he would leave again soon, Liang Jian quickly said, "Before, we couldn't even see him because someone was putting pressure on us. At least now that Second Uncle is here, everything can continue as normal."
Just as he finished speaking, Liang Yizhi's phone rang. It was Liang Weiyue calling.
"Have we arrived in Kun City?" Liang Weiyue asked.
"arrive."
"Then why aren't you back yet?" Liang Weiyue asked.
"I'm staying at a hotel."
Liang Weiyue paused for a moment, then said, "Let's talk."
The study in the Liang residence.
At two in the morning, the lights were still on.
Liang Weiyue looked at this brother with whom he had never been close since childhood, "Do you know how difficult it was for you to get to where you are today?"
Liang Yizhi's face remained expressionless. "Does elder brother want to know?"
Liang Weiyue was taken aback by his words. "I know you spent more time in the Shen family than in the Liang family growing up. If that's the case, why don't you stay in Beijing and take care of your parents-in-law when you have free time?"
Liang Yizhi remained silent.
Liang Weiyue continued, "Since you've married someone else's daughter's memorial tablet, you should act like a son-in-law. And if you're not quite there yet, the Shen family has two more daughters, you could..."
Liang Yizhi interrupted him, "If my brother sent me here so late just to say this, then I'll be leaving."
"Second brother!" Liang Weiyue sighed, "Don't interfere in Liang Jian's affairs!"
Liang Yizhi looked puzzled. "I never care about him."
“Liang Jian is still too young and easily makes mistakes in matters of the heart. Of course, the other party is also not very discerning, seducing him even though she has a family. As elders, we cannot indulge him in being blinded by greed.”
Liang Yizhi pondered for two seconds, "I still don't understand what you mean, brother."
His younger brother has very low emotional intelligence; he always likes to make things clear with people.
“It’s his business if he asks you for help, but I can’t get past that. If something happens to Gu Yanchen’s woman, the Gu family will handle it. It’s not his place to overstep his bounds and fawn over her. The Liang family’s reputation isn’t something he can afford to tarnish like this.”
Liang Yizhi listened to his words and slowly stood up.
"If my brother can't get over this, that's his problem, it has nothing to do with me. I'll say it again, I never interfere in his affairs. If there's nothing else, I'll head back."
"Second brother..."
Liang Weiyue knew him to some extent, and the fact that he didn't categorically reject the idea this time meant that he might agree to Liang Jian's request.
"...I absolutely will not allow that woman to enter the Liang family."
Liang Yizhi had already reached the door, but turned back to look at his older brother because of those words.
"The Liang family's reputation has always been well protected by the eldest brother. If the eldest brother really feels that Liang Jian has disgraced the Liang family, he can simply cut ties with him forever."
Liang Weiyue was immediately furious. "That's my son. We're family. How could you say such a thing?"
But Liang Yizhi was unhappy, so he didn't explain and even walked away without looking back.
Are they all blind?
Why does everyone feel that Liang Jian and she are entangled?
Is his uncle so old that he's unfit to be an adulterer?
...
Liang Yanchuan's visitation permit was approved quickly.
He brought Ji Ying rice porridge that Xiao Xia had personally cooked.
Ji Ying vomited blood yesterday and her face was still very pale. She only managed to drink two sips before feeling nauseous and gently pushed the drink away.
Liang Yanchuan's expression was solemn.
"My second uncle said you'll stay here until you're cleared of wrongdoing and he won't let you go back to that place. But the most troublesome thing now is those sneakers. The victim's blood was found on them, as well as fiber residue on your socks. The pressure on them is probably due to Gu Yi's powerful backer pushing things from behind. You've really hit a brick wall this time."
Ji Ying raised her eyes slightly, but her tone was unusually calm. "I remember those shoes. They were indeed mine. But I rarely wore them and kept them in the shoe cabinet at Platinum Bay. I didn't take them with me when I left. And now, the only person who can freely enter and leave Platinum Bay is Wen Lingxue."
Liang Yanchuan suddenly realized, "You mean Wen Lingxue and Gu Yi are in cahoots?"
Ji Ying smiled faintly, "These two have probably been together for a long time."
She paused, then got back to the point: "I want the fingerprints on the sneakers to be retested. Also, I need him to arrange for someone to take samples from the cloakroom at Platinum Bay—if Wen Lingxue's fingerprints are found there as well, my suspicion will be greatly reduced."
Liang Yanchuan curled his lips and said, "Yingying, I can take care of these things for you too."
Ji Ying remained calm. "If you want to be absolutely certain that I'll leave, then have your second uncle handle it."
Liang Yanchuan: "..."
After relaying Ji Ying's message, Xue Qin personally went through the procedures to have the trace evidence re-examined by the trace evidence department.
However, a shocking piece of bad news came from the other side.
Those crucial pieces of evidence—sneakers—have mysteriously disappeared.
Bar, private room.
"The evidence room records show that the shoes were 'legally retrieved,' but the person who signed the document denies that he or she went to collect the shoes," Xue Qin said.
Liang Yizhi slightly swirled the wine glass in his hand. "Where are the security cameras?"
"Can't get it."
It wasn't that they couldn't retrieve it; it was that Gu Yi's powerful backer was testing his resolve.
Liang Yizhi chuckled, "Then let's check all the bank statements of all the relevant personnel in the detention center, as well as their immediate family members."
Xue Qin was stunned; this must be an enormous project.
"Can't it be done?" Liang Yizhi asked.
Xue Qin pursed her lips. "Okay. But Gu Yanchen is away on a business trip and not at Platinum Bay. Are we going to have to use extreme measures to get in and collect fingerprints?"
“No,” Liang Yizhi said firmly. “Everything must go through the normal procedures. I remember she has a good relationship with the nanny at Platinum Bay. Have Liang Yanchuan go to the hospital and get the nanny’s contact information.”
Meng Qian sat to the side, a smile playing on his lips. "So... you've put in the effort?"
Liang Yizhi remained silent.
Meng Qian simply sat down next to him. "Be honest with us brothers this once. Did you put your heart into it? If you say yes, I won't pursue her anymore."
Liang Yizhi clicked his tongue.
Meng Qian burst out laughing. "How strange, is there anything in this world that you dare to do but not admit?"
Liang Yizhi shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere.
Meng Qian put his arm around his shoulder, his tone unusually serious.
"You fulfilled your marriage vows and married a memorial tablet; in the end, it was nothing more than a transaction. You used three years of official status to repay Teacher Shen for saving your life and to exchange for medicine to break the curse on your Liang family. You kept your promise, which is not wrong. But legally, you are still single and have the right to pursue your own happiness, which is also not wrong."
He held his wine glass and clinked it against Liang Yizhi's.
"Someone like you, over thirty years old, how many women in your life would you actually make the first move for? Some relationships are gone once they're missed, why tie yourself down with a ghost marriage?"
After saying that, he drank the wine in his glass and stood up.
"I'm advising you not because I'm kind, but because I want you to think things through quickly, or I might just make my move."
The door to the private room closed gently, cutting off Meng Qian's departing figure.
Liang Yizhi put down his wine and looked at Xue Qin, "There's no need to investigate Li Duoyu's identity anymore, just assume she is."
Xue Qin opened his eyes wide.
Has a choice been made?
Ignoring his shocked face, Liang Yizhi's eyes remained clear as he continued, "Hurry up, I want to see her."
