Chapter 77 You are like a huge rock falling into the sea. This matter will soon...
Like a huge rock falling into the sea, this matter soon became a cause of movement.
After receiving the physical evidence, most of these parents, except for a few who did not dare to speak out, did not remain silent and took different ways to seek justice for themselves.
Some people went to report the case. They sorted out some materials and reported the case to the public security organs using Li Ci's handwritten statement as the key evidence. However, for some unknown reason, they were told that there was insufficient evidence and the matter was suppressed. They were only vaguely told to provide additional key information.
These parents did not back down. Instead, they gathered together to find a solution. In order to get more attention to the incident and promote the resolution of the problem, they sorted out the materials and issued a joint statement on a large social platform.
It was deleted or restricted as soon as it was posted, but these things could not be stopped. More and more people paid attention to this matter, and more and more people volunteered to help them forward it. In addition, the Li family was at the center of the storm at that time, and this matter broke out all of a sudden. The whole thing formed a huge public opinion on the Internet.
Li Ci, including the Li family, was once again pushed to the forefront.
The name "Li Ci" alone was on the news list for several days and nights.
After the company got into trouble, Li Ci hadn't slept for several days, and he had to deal with the company's troubles.
What happened online had already spread within the company. Wherever he went, although the employees did not dare to discuss it openly, they could not hide the fear in their eyes when they saw him, and they did not even dare to look him in the eye.
Like those netizens, they couldn't believe or imagine that this gentle, elegant, polite and well-mannered Mr. Li could be so bad behind the scenes.
He is obviously so polite, never puts on airs in the company, and is always courteous to everyone;
He is so smart and promising. He is mature and decisive in handling things at a young age. He is more courageous than some senior executives.
What's more, he has a smiling face with eyebrows and eyes. He clearly has the face of an angel. Could it be that there is a devil under the mask?
Such a person is too scary. Thinking of this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
Li Ci knew exactly what was happening outside, and he knew even more clearly who was responsible for this.
As expected of you, Li Ci thought, you always know how to surprise me.
Li Ci didn't take this trivial accusation seriously at all.
The case cannot be filed over there, so what's the point of cursing online? Is Li Ci the kind of person who cares about his reputation after his death?
Go ahead and curse him, Li Ci thought. That person must be so happy when he sees so many people cursing him online on his phone.
He could almost imagine how full of life was on that pretty face. Thinking of this, Li Ci actually felt a little better.
Li Ci sat at his desk, his housekeeper, who was in charge of his food, clothing, housing, and transportation, waiting beside him. He had only eaten less than half of the food that was delivered. Seeing him scrolling up and down on his phone, he assumed he had read the news online. After a moment's thought, he tried to comfort him somewhat stiffly, "Don't worry too much. Mr. Li... should be working on a solution."
Li Ci seemed to smile, but then seemed not to. "Worried? What's there to worry about? I'm just playing with her. Let's play. I want to see what else she will do."
The butler was startled, almost doubting his own ears: "Do you know who it is?"
Li Ci held the phone and gritted his teeth: "It's hard not to know."
The butler looked at the young man's handsome yet somewhat haggard face, trying to find a familiar trace of rage and hostility on his face, but there was none.
He suddenly felt a little confused about the situation. "...Aren't you angry?"
"I'm used to being mad at her, so I won't get angry anymore." Li Ci snorted, and then spoke, his tone mixed with some strange doting, "This is just the beginning. Is this the first time she's mad at me? It's just a little girl's trick."
"..." The butler curled his lips, "The public opinion is a bit strong this time."
"So?" Li Ci looked over, his tone a bit colder. "It's just some old scores! I help him deal with the company's mess, and he helps me settle those old scores. Isn't that right?"
The butler paused and said tactfully, "Things are a bit tricky. I'm afraid it won't be that simple this time."
Li Ci knew that this matter was a little tricky, but deep down he was sure that Li Mingxin would protect him no matter what the cost.
Because he is the only one in the Li family, he has no other choice but to protect him.
The housekeeper glanced at the food in the lunch box, then at the dark circles under his eyes. "You've been at the company for a week, working day and night. If you don't eat and sleep well, your body won't be able to take it. Why don't you go back and rest for a while?"
Just then, a financial officer came in with a document that required the chairman's seal.
Li Mingxin was not there at the time. Li Ci thought for a moment, took the spare key and went directly to Li Mingxin's office.
Then, Li Ci not only found Li Mingxin's name stamp, but also found a passport in a drawer - his own passport, which had a visa already processed and was used to travel abroad.
Study abroad? Go abroad?
Li Ci stared at the passport with red eyes.
He stood there holding the passport to calm down, and then asked the driver to drive him back to the old house.
Li Ci was originally just angry. Angry at why he hadn't discussed this with him and made such a foolish decision on his own: go abroad? Why did he want to go abroad? Who would dare to bypass him and make a decision for him?
However, when he went over with his passport to question them, he saw a scene that made his blood boil even more when he stood in front of the door of the old house's living room.
In the old house where he grew up but had not returned for a long time, Li Mingxin was playing building blocks with a child on the floor, with a woman next to him.
Outside the threshold, he is a man with a murderous look and a down-and-out appearance, while inside the threshold, a family of three is enjoying family happiness.
He had seen that woman before. She was not his stepmother, but another woman who had briefly worked as Li Mingxin's secretary.
The child looked to be three or four years old. He looked well-behaved and it was not difficult to tell his father's origin from his eyebrows.
Li Mingxin seemed a little distracted. He answered a phone call midway through, and after hanging up, he looked irritated and worried. The mean woman next to him saw this and quickly patted his shoulder, whispering soothing words. Not only did she comfort him herself, she also pushed Xiaoye Zhong forward, indicating that Xiaoye Zhong would comfort him as well. Xiaoye Zhong was very obedient, just like his mother, and obediently put down the building blocks and reached out to hug Li Mingxin's arm.
Li Mingxin's expression relaxed and he raised his hand to touch the little wild boy's head affectionately.
He seemed to sigh, "These are troubled times, and you're all I have left."
It's just you guys...
Li Ci's head was buzzing.
What about him?
Who is he?
So what is he?
When did this little wild thing/species appear?
He shouldn't have been born. How could he have been born?
Until this moment, Li Ci finally felt a little panic in his heart. He held the passport tightly in his hand, as if he finally understood why it appeared so coincidentally.
He has a backup option, he has a backup plan, so is he going to throw away the person who has always had a grudge against him?
Li Ci stood outside the threshold, his eyes sinister and deep. The light shone on his angular face, half of which was hidden in the darkness, like a wandering ghost that had suddenly appeared.
His gaze was so intense that Li Mingxin seemed to finally sense something. He turned his head and looked over. He was startled and subconsciously pulled the child behind him. Then he seemed to think it was a little ridiculous and let it go, trying his best to keep a normal expression.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
"What a coincidence!" Li Ci smiled slightly. "If I hadn't come at this time, would I have known that I actually have a dear brother?"
Li Ci finally crossed the threshold, put his hands in his pockets, walked a few steps forward, squatted down in front of the carpet, and stared at the child on the carpet: "What's your name? How old are you?"
"Don't do anything rash, and don't overthink it," Li Mingxin said in a deep voice, acting like a patriarch. "I was going to tell you, but something happened at home recently..."
"You also know that something's wrong at home," Li Ci smiled, but his expression was a little distorted. "While I was working day and night to help you deal with that mess, you were holding your darling son and enjoying the joy of family! No wonder, no wonder... no wonder you wanted to send me abroad, no wonder you wanted to get rid of me so quickly, it turns out you had a backup plan."
Li Ci suddenly burst into laughter, ripped up the passport in his hand and threw it in Li Mingxin's face. "You're incredible! Does my stepmother know that she's become a cover for you two adulterers? She must be so pissed off, hahahaha."
Li Mingxin's face turned pale and he raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face.
The slap was so powerful that Li Ci's face turned away, and blood almost immediately seeped out of the corner of his mouth. He looked over, but was still smiling.
There was a strong wind and thunder outside, and it seemed like it was going to rain. The little boy suddenly burst into tears, not knowing whether he was scared by the thunder or by Li Ci.
Li Ci glanced over, a bloody look. The child froze there, his mouth open but no sound came out. He was so scared that his body was almost shaking.
Li Mingxin gritted his teeth and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Take the child back to the room!"
The woman was also trembling a little, and hurried upstairs holding the child.
Li Mingxin's face turned pale. He looked at Li Ci and gritted his teeth, saying, "Do you think anyone can protect you in this situation? Go abroad or go to prison. It's your choice."
"Prison," Li Ci said, "at least I can have lunch."
Li Mingxin raised his hand and pointed at him, as if he had aged a lot in an instant, his hands shaking with anger: "You are like a madman now!"
Li Ci did not refute and accepted his compliment with pleasure. He stood up and no longer looked at Li Mingxin. The arrogance in his body seemed to be suddenly extinguished bit by bit, drained away, and he became a little dispirited.
He stepped out of the door and looked up to see a sky covered with dark clouds.
Maybe it will rain again soon.
He suddenly felt confused about where to go.
What else does he have? What else does he have in this world?
Is there anything he wants, or anyone who is willing to take it?
Something in his chest suddenly fermented wildly, and he suddenly wanted to see her.
It’s not fun outside at all, Li Ci thought, there’s nothing good in this world, they should go back to that place together.
Yes, he wanted to see her. She was the only one he had. He had to see her, now, immediately, right away. He couldn't wait even a minute, not even a second... It was like a drug addiction attack. He was suddenly tortured by an emotion that made him feel worse than death.
Li Ci stumbled out and was surrounded by the people called by Li Mingxin.
Li Ci came back to his senses and looked at those people with a fierce look in his eyes: "What do you want to do?"
Li Mingxin looked at him coldly, as if he was looking for trouble: "Catch him and put him in solitary confinement. He is not allowed to step out of the room before he leaves the country."
Li Ci looked over and said, "Do you want to die? Let's see who dares to do it."
"Listen to me or him, subdue him! Don't worry about his identity, bastard, if you can't kill him, then beat him to death!"
There was chaos on the field.
At this critical moment, the Li family can no longer withstand any disturbance.
He would not allow anything to happen that could cause the situation to get out of control.
If you don't listen, you will be abandoned.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was time to start school. Lin Xicai had already prepared for a short leave of absence. She felt relieved after letting the system get some information on the spot. Li Mingxin was probably really afraid that his crazy son would cause trouble again, so this time he was determined to send him abroad.
The document procedures were still being processed, and there was no plan to release him before getting him on the plane. He was locked up in a room on the third floor of the villa, with people taking turns guarding the door. Even if Li Ci risked his life, he could not defeat the three or four big guys in front of the door.
The most important point is that he has been injured and is actually recuperating in there. He cannot come out in the short term. It is estimated that he will be sent abroad once his injuries are healed and the formalities are completed.
So after the winter vacation, on the first day of school, she returned to school after a long absence.
——Why is it so long?
Because this winter vacation lasted too long.
It took others more than a month, but it took her almost half a year.
Moreover, what happened during one winter vacation was more eventful than her life in the previous ten years combined.
There is a feeling that it is a lifetime ago.
It was the first day of school and the weather was great. I returned to the group and met my friends whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. It seemed as if all the messed up notes had been corrected and everything was back on track.
She calmed down and tried to return to the early days, trying to pretend that nothing had happened, but there were always a few moments that would make her nerves tense for no reason, as if...
She was a little too happy a little too early, some of the settlements were not finalized at all.
