Li Duo didn't speak; his feelings had been somewhat complicated lately.
His investigation revealed that the person that night was Lin Jingyu, and the scent on her matched his memory.
He tried to confess to Lin Jingyu, but Lin Jingyu firmly denied that he had been to the Golden Summit that day.
Finally, Li Liangfeng uncovered a former employee who was a fan of Lin Jingyu. That night, he secretly took a picture of Lin Jingyu, which confirmed that Lin Jingyu had indeed been to the Golden Summit.
Lin Jingyu refused to admit it, and Li Duo did not expose him.
Li Duo understood her fear of that night and was considerate that her first time was not pleasant, so he tried his best to be tolerant of her.
He could sense that Jingyu was carrying a burden in front of him, hoping to leave him with a naive impression.
Li Duo couldn't bear to tell her that the other man that night was him.
The longer it dragged on, the less he could speak.
In matters between lovers, Lin Jingyu always kept a distance from him, repeatedly refusing to get close to him under the pretext of maintaining a girlish image.
Li Duo always felt sorry for her, and he didn't force her to do what she wanted.
Li Duo believed that he could wait until the day she was willing to confess.
However, he met Wen Shu.
When he first met Wen Shu, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
He felt a sense of déjà vu about her scent and her intimate body language.
Most importantly, his desire to be close to Wen Shu was far stronger than his desire to be close to Lin Jingyu.
At first, Li Duo thought that he had lost interest because he had been rejected by Lin Jingyu so many times.
He later realized that his infatuation with Wen Shu far exceeded that of everyone else.
He knew he shouldn't, but he couldn't control himself.
Li Liangfeng then asked, "President Li, do we need to reinvestigate what happened four years ago?"
Li Duo snapped out of his thoughts, "Back then, you investigated twice before confirming that Jing Yu had appeared at the Golden Summit. It might not be so easy to investigate again after four years."
Li Liangfeng nodded in agreement, “Indeed. But if President Li suspects that the person from back then wasn’t Miss Lin, then it must have been someone else. As long as that person exists, we will definitely be able to find her.”
After a few seconds of silence, Li Duo suddenly spoke up: "Check whether Wen Su went to the Golden Summit four years ago."
Li Liangfeng was taken aback. "Li Duo suspects that person is Miss Wen?"
Li Duo turned his face away, looking out the window without speaking; it was more like hope than doubt.
Because he remembered asking Wen Shu if she had been to the Golden Summit, and she denied it.
Moreover, Wen Shu's financial situation at the time probably wouldn't have allowed her to spend money at Jinding.
If Li Duo could think of these things, Li Liangfeng could naturally guess them as well.
Since Li Duo had already brought it up, Li Liangfeng also planned to investigate it as well.
Wen Shu and her classmates walked out of the gate of Beichen University together and then parted ways at the gate.
She was about to take the bus home when she was stopped again.
Wen Shu looked at the person in front of her, unsure of what to say. "Miss Li, what are you planning to do this time?"
Li Yuanqing, carrying a bag, took off his sunglasses, smiled at her, and said, "Don't worry, I'm coming alone this time."
Wen Shu looked at her suspiciously, "Whether you come alone or with ten people, it doesn't matter much to me. I have nothing to do with Li Duo anymore."
Li Yuanqing chuckled. "I know you left the company. However, I'm here on behalf of the Li family to convey our message. We hope Miss Wen will do me the honor of joining us."
Wen Shu was silent for a few seconds, then nodded: "Okay."
The two sat down at a nearby coffee shop, and Li Yuanqing got straight to the point: "Li Duo went back to Budong Mountain two days ago. He wants to break off his engagement with Lin Jingyu. Did you know about this?"
Wen Shu was extremely surprised. Li Duo wanted to break off his engagement with Lin Jingyu? How could that be?
Seeing that the surprise on her face seemed genuine, Li Yuanqing nodded, "It seems you didn't know about this."
Wen Shu said, "I have no reason to know that I have no relationship with Li Duo."
Li Yuanqing suddenly laughed, "Nothing to do with you? A week ago, you and Li Duo spent two hours in the Golden Roof room. What were you doing?"
Wen Shu froze, suddenly feeling embarrassed.
He hoped that no one would ever mention that incident again, but the Li family members were all terrifying, having investigated even these details thoroughly.
Li Yuanqing chuckled softly at her expression, "Speechless now?"
Wen Shu then spoke up, "Miss Li, since you've investigated so thoroughly, you should know even more why I'm with him."
"I thought the Li family wanted to express their gratitude to me for saving Li Duo from danger, but now it seems that Miss Li's intentions are not so."
Li Yuanqing said, "This kind of thing is really not suitable for you to do. Li Duo has a girlfriend."
Wen Shu suddenly laughed, "Miss Li, if you're going to investigate, please do it thoroughly."
“If you just check my call history, you’ll find that I called Miss Lin. It’s a pity that Li Duo didn’t get to see Miss Lin.”
"As for the reason, you'll have to ask Ms. Lin herself."
Li Yuanqing stared at her face. "Wen Shu, let me tell you the truth. The Li family only recognizes Lin Jingyu as their daughter-in-law."
"Li Duo's decision to dissolve his engagement with Lin Jingyu has crossed the line for both families. If you cannot completely separate from Li Duo, then you'll be in for a world of trouble."
“These words are not mine, but a warning from my elders to you. I hope you will take heed.”
Wen Shu remained seated, then slowly raised her head to look at Li Yuanqing and said, "So, for the Li family, even if I haven't done anything, my very existence is a sin, is that right?"
Li Yuanqing was taken aback. "I didn't say that. I just said that as long as you break off your relationship with Li Duo..."
"Li Duo and I were never together. How can I prove that we broke up? Do I need to break his legs myself so he won't come looking for me?"
Wen Shu kept a straight face and stared at Li Yuanqing with clear eyes.
Li Yuanqing paused for a moment, "As long as you can hold your ground here, Li Duo will naturally have a way to deal with him."
Wen Shu couldn't help but chuckle. "Now I finally understand why Li Duo is so hot-headed and unreasonable. It turns out it's a family trait."
"I can defend it? What can I defend? Do I want to build an impregnable fortress, lock myself inside, and leave Li Duo helpless outside?"
"You don't blame yourselves for not being able to control your own families or deal with Li Duo, but you come to control an outsider like me, an innocent person. Don't you think that's ridiculous?"
Li Yuanqing was speechless for a long time after being choked by her.
After a while, she said, "Anyway, that's the Li family's attitude. You know it yourself. I'm too lazy to say anything more."
Wen Shu stood up. "Whatever the Li family's attitude is, it has nothing to do with me, and I'm not interested."
“I just want to live a peaceful life. You have disrupted my tranquil life and even tried to pin the blame for the Li family’s failure to raise their children properly on me.”
