"A fugitive on the run; didn’t expect him to show his face today."
"He’s riddled with smuggling and theft charges. Even without today’s incident, those alone could have him serving life in prison. Basically, he’s on a desperate run for his life."
Hearing Yu Ting’s words, Lu Nanchen, on the other end of the phone line and standing on the kitchen floor tiles, was initially startled, then filled with anger.
What does that imply?
Since the indictment tally is already lengthy, if sentenced to 120 years, would an additional charge increase it to 140 years?
It wouldn’t matter, either way his remaining years would be spent in prison.
One more charge wouldn’t make a difference.
"So it’s very likely someone paid him to do it?" Lu Nanchen’s countenance hardened as he voiced his thoughts. Recalling the scene that day still gave him chills.
"Hmm, it seems to be something like that. I am still investigating over here, looking for any trace or evidence."
"Right, thanks Uncle." Lu Nanchen said, peeling back a layer in his own set of plans.
As he hung up the phone, he started washing strawberries while pondering.
After cleaning and arranging the strawberries on a plate, Lu Nanchen brought it out and placed it in front of Yu Ting.
"Where’s the information on Li Heng that you looked up last time?"
Yu Ting had mentioned that she found two people named Li Heng.
Yu Ting, who was sitting on the sofa, was momentarily taken aback before biting into a strawberry.
"It’s in a file folder in the study. I’ve packed it up properly."
"Okay, I’ll take a look later."
"Sure."
After dinner and ensuring Yu Ting was safely tucked in bed, Lu Nanchen went to work in the study. He pulled a folder from a pile of items and opened it.
It contained all the available information on the two Li Hengs. Lu Nanchen placed the files side by side on the table and began to carefully compare them.
The two individuals seemed remarkably similar. Not knowing what Li Heng looked like, Lu Nanchen had a hard time distinguishing between them, his eyes darting back and forth between the two sets of information.
A spoiled rich kid.
A troublemaker.
Went to high school in Jiangqi City.
Had a fight once.
...
About my age.
Led a group...
The last piece of information finally allowed him to identify the person. One of them led a group, while the other was only a party animal with a few friends.
Lu Nanchen picked up the file on Li Heng and examined it closely.
Li Heng
Age 29
CEO of Li’s Home Furnishing Limited Group, a family business that he has only been managing for less than two years.
...
...
One of the four main members of the Businesse Empire Alliance.
Upon seeing the last line, Lu Nanchen was somewhat puzzled. Before looking up the so-called Businesse Empire Alliance, he first began by calling Yu Ting to let her know about Li Heng and asked her to keep an eye on him.
The Businesse Empire Alliance is the collective term for four major companies, including Zhou’s Property, Li’s Home Furnishing, Boya Food, and Ousheng Electron Entertainment.
The reason it’s referred to as an empire is that these four corporations are capable of meeting a person’s daily needs. Their combined power is indeed formidable.
Lu Nanchen stared at the information he’d found on the internet, contemplating for a long time before starting to formulate a strategy.
As Lu Nanchen delved deeper into his thoughts, the night came and went.
Early next morning, someone knocked on the gate of the huge house. Lu Nanchen hurriedly came out and opened the door, finding his mother, mother-in-law, and little Lu Xiaobao all standing together outside.
"Mom."
"Hmm, where’s Ting Ting?" After Lu Nanchen greeted them, the two women responded briefly before stepping past him into the house, asking questions as they walked. They were each carrying a large bag of things.
