"So, may I ask, do you have anyone you suspect?" Xiang Ming pressed.
Leng Yan glanced at Xiang Ming. These words were very pointed. If he dared to mention the Jing family, Xiang Ming would definitely suspect that he had ulterior motives.
He knew that Xiang Ming was Jing Chi's loyal little fanboy.
"No, I would find it hard to find someone out of all the people I've offended who would dare to do that."
"So you mean there are other people? Can you tell me more?"
"Specifically, what do you mean? Officer Xiang, you know how bad my reputation was when I, Leng Yan, used to hang around here. There are countless people who want to kill me now. I can give you their names, you can ask them yourself."
As Leng Yan spoke, she took the list and handed it to Xiang Ming.
The conversation ends here.
Xiang Ming held the list, while Li Ying walked beside him.
"No need to look, none of the people on these lists could be them," Li Ying said decisively.
"He's clearly hiding something, but he's afraid to say it," Xiang Ming frowned.
Li Ying smiled: "What do you want him to say?"
Xiang Ming waved his hand: "Sister-in-law, I didn't deliberately lead him to say anything. This matter is a bit tricky, I'm afraid we need to investigate it thoroughly."
"Should I go with you to the police station?"
"No need for that, thank you for your trouble. You should go back and rest. If we need your help, I'll have someone call you." Xiang Ming respected Li Ying very much.
Li Ying left the restaurant and returned to her parents' home.
Ya Ru was still crying, and the child was crying too. Li Pei was at a loss, and Yang Mei urged Li Dongguo to think of a solution.
"What can I do about this? I can only wait for the police to investigate."
"Tang Long must have been implicated by Leng Yan. I know that Aunt Jing has been taking back Leng Yan's power recently, and this might be the culmination of their struggle."
Li Pei knew that Leng Yan had always wanted to acquire ownership of the machinery factory, but now that she had failed, Leng Yan would lose her usefulness to Aunt Jing.
Now that Aunt Jing has found her son, she is busy building up his image and grooming him as her heir.
Leng Yan is now practically irrelevant. If she goes too far now, people will think Aunt Jing is ruthless, so they'll have to find another way.
"You suspect the Jing family did it?" Li Dongguo asked his son in a low voice.
“Besides the Jing family, no one in Shanghai dares to touch Leng Yan. Aunt Jing kept Leng Yan before because she couldn’t find her son. Now that she has found her son, Leng Yan is an abandoned child. But how to deal with this abandoned child has become her problem.” Li Pei analyzed seriously.
"What you said makes sense."
Li Ying approached the living room: "Big brother's analysis is correct. This matter must be related to the Jing family."
"Yingying, do you think so too?"
Li Ying nodded: "First of all, the Jing family and the Tang family have been getting very close recently, and they even have projects to cooperate on. Tang Feng grew up abroad, and he also knows a foreigner named Lisa. I can say with certainty that Tang Feng was involved in this."
Everyone sighed with regret.
"Then what are we waiting for? Go tell Officer Xiang right now and arrest them all!" Ya Ru shouted angrily.
"Sister-in-law, this is just our deduction. Without concrete evidence, we cannot make arrests."
Ya Ru started crying again. This was the only male heir in their Tang family, and she didn't know how heartbroken her parents would be.
Leng Yan's car stopped in front of his residence. He didn't get out, but took out a cigarette, lit it, and stared ahead, lost in thought.
Someone knocked on the car door. Leng Yan turned his head and saw Lu Yufei. For a moment, Leng Yan thought it was his imagination.
Lu Yufei tapped on the car window: "Manager Leng, this is the first time I've seen you look so worried. It's quite a sight."
Are you joking with me, or are you kicking me when I'm down?
"Well, I'm naturally happy to see you in trouble," Lu Yufei said casually, leaning against the car.
Leng Yan opened the car door and stood side by side with Lu Yufei.
"I'm surprised that Miss Lu would come to see me?"
"Can't I laugh at you?"
Leng Yan rolled her eyes at Lu Yufei and leaned against the car window.
“I’m not a good person. I did a lot of immoral things to survive. Later, I followed Aunt Jing and thought I had gotten out of this mess, but I didn’t. I still have to do some shady things in private. I’m the one doing the dirtiest and most tiring work. After all these years, I thought even a stone would have warmed up by now. I never expected that I would become a joke in the end.”
Lu Yufei turned her head to look at Leng Yan.
"You have someone you suspect?"
“I knew who it was from the moment the incident happened, but I couldn’t believe it, and I didn’t want to believe it.” Leng Yan took out a cigarette, but when he saw Lu Yufei staring at him, he put the cigarette back.
"Go ahead and smoke, I don't mind." It was rare for Lu Yufei to be so approachable.
Leng Yan sneered: "Who would have thought that when I was at my lowest point, the person by my side would be my former rival?"
"It is your honor to be my opponent, Lu Yufei."
Leng Yan nodded slightly, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
“I started smoking when I was ten years old, back then it was for survival, and I couldn’t quit. Now society is better, everything is developing in a positive direction, and people like me will be eliminated by the wheels of time.”
It's rare for him to be so open and honest.
"Leng Yan, do you know why the Lu family was able to crush the Jing family and win the machinery factory victory?"
"Why?"
"Because of Young Master Jing's help."
Leng Yan frowned: "Jing Chi helped you?"
“I shouldn’t have told you this, but seeing how upset you are, I’ll say it anyway. The Lu family and Ye Wennian’s company cooperated to acquire ownership of the machinery factory, but I know that Ye Wennian helped the Lu family because he was commissioned by Jing Chi.”
Leng Yan frowned in thought: "So, Jing Chi doesn't want the machinery factory to fall into the Jing family's hands?"
"Um."
Leng Yan asked, puzzled, "Why are you telling me all this?"
"I'm afraid you might accidentally hurt your teammates. I think you're in a dangerous situation right now, but as long as you cooperate with Jing Chi, everything will be resolved."
This is why Lu Yufei came here to find him.
"Cooperate with Jing Chi?" Leng Yan shook his head: "Impossible, I will not cooperate with him."
"Alright, that's all I have to say. I'm leaving!" Lu Yufei walked to her car, opened the door, and got in.
Leng Yan watched Lu Yufei leave, then threw the remaining cigarette on the ground.
Li Ying was invited to the Jing family home by Aunt Jing early in the morning.
"I've been feeling tightness in my chest and shortness of breath lately, and I don't know why. I was hoping you could come and take a look at me."
After Li Ying sat down, she immediately noticed some photos spread out on the table, all of them of pretty girls.
"Is this for choosing a wife for Young Master Jing?"
Aunt Jing smiled slightly: "That's right. Can you believe how difficult it is to choose a daughter-in-law for your son? He looks and looks, but there's no one he likes. Dr. Li Ying, what's wrong with men's hearts?"
