Chapter 291 Killing him would be too lenient. [14]
Upon hearing Li Zhiyun's words, Li Chu did not respond immediately, but instead looked up at Shen Wangqing beside him.
It wasn't until Shen Wangqing nodded gently to her that Li Chu looked at Li Zhiyun again.
She spoke timidly, "Hello, cousin, I'm Li Chu."
The girl's voice was clear and melodious, like a lark in the mountains and forests.
Li Zhiyun suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he heard his cousin, who was a little girl many years ago, calling him "cousin".
This was a feeling that Li Pan'er had never given him before.
Li Xiaoxiao is the little princess of the Li family, and Li Zhiyun has always doted on this cousin.
In the years immediately following Li Xiaoxiao's disappearance, the Li family searched frantically for her.
They even searched overseas and turned up all sorts of underground places, but they still couldn't find him!
With the Li family's wealth, is it really possible that they couldn't find someone they wanted to hire?
Is someone obstructing this from behind the scenes?
Thinking of a certain possibility, Li Zhiyun's eyes darkened.
He will investigate these matters thoroughly!
Looking at the dark, thin, and small Li Chu in front of her, Li Zhiyun felt as if her heart was being squeezed by a hand, both painful and suffocating.
Isn't he fifteen? How come he's so young? He doesn't even look as tall as his eight-year-old nephew!
Li Zhiyun approached and, seeing that Li Chu didn't seem too scared, reached out her hand: "Come here, let your uncle take a look at you."
Seeing the obvious heartache and caution in Li Zhiyun's eyes, Li Chu hesitated before walking over.
Li Zhiyun grasped Li Chu's shoulder and realized that the girl was even more frail than he had imagined!
He looked down and saw Li Chu's hands, which were twisted together in nervousness, with old and new scars on them that were extremely glaring!
"I'm sorry, your uncle is late. Your uncle didn't know... didn't know you were still suffering in the mountains."
Li Zhiyun's eyes reddened, and her voice choked with emotion.
Li Chu looked at him and asked, "Uncle, will you take me back?"
Li Zhiyun nodded, her tone firm: "Of course! Your uncle is here to take you home!"
Li Chu's eyelashes trembled: "Then... what about my cousin?"
Li Zhiyun looked puzzled: "Cousin? What cousin?"
The quiet Shen Wangqing spoke up at this moment: "The cousin that Chu Chu mentioned is Li Pan'er, the granddaughter that Chairman Xiao took back five years ago."
"President Li, according to my investigation, Li Pan'er is the daughter of Chu Chu's biological father's elder brother."
Five years ago, Chairman Xiao came to Shiqiao Village, and Li Youcai persuaded Li Youfu to let Li Pan'er take Chu Chu's identity and be taken to Beijing.
"There's just one thing I don't understand: in cases of identity theft, wouldn't a paternity test reveal the truth?"
Shen Wangqing said it was a question, but how could Li Zhiyun not understand its true meaning!
Li Zhiyun suppressed her anger, afraid of frightening Li Chu by losing her composure, after all, she looked so fragile.
He took a deep breath and said to Li Chu, "Li Pan'er has been living under your identity for five years. It's already kind of me not to hold her accountable."
Upon hearing Li Zhiyun's words, Li Chu understood.
After five years of getting along, Li Zhiyun did not develop any extra feelings for Li Pan'er.
Then she was relieved.
Li Zhiyun really wanted to ask Li Chu how he had been all these years.
Looking at her, you don't even need to ask to know that she's not doing well, not doing well at all!
Shen Wangqing noticed Li Zhiyun's hesitation and took two steps forward, saying to Li Chu:
"Chuchu, go see what Xiaoyue is doing in her room. I need to talk to your uncle for a bit."
Li Chu nodded obediently and went to her room.
Shen Wangqing then looked at Li Zhiyun with a gentle smile on his face: "President Li, please come with me to the study."
Li Zhiyun nodded: "Thank you for your help, President Shen."
The two went to the study.
Shen Wangqing told Li Zhiyun about Li Chu's situation.
He had tried to be as concise as possible, but through his words, Li Zhiyun could still imagine the suffering Li Chu had endured over the years.
Li Zhiyun could no longer maintain his gentle and gentlemanly demeanor; he was now extremely angry!
The anger in my chest was impossible to suppress.
Upon hearing Shen Wangqing say that Li Youfu was planning to sell the fifteen-year-old Li Chu to an old bachelor in the village, Li Zhiyun could no longer help but swear.
He stood up from his chair, his face ashen.
"Wait! The Li Youfu you mentioned, is he Chuchu's biological father?"
Shen Wangqing nodded: "Yes."
Li Zhiyun clenched her fists even tighter.
That damned Xiao Chenghai!
What did he tell them when he brought Li Pan'er to Beijing? He said the man who hurt Li Xiaoxiao was dead!
If Xiao Chenghai hadn't said that the man was dead, how could Li Zhiyun have done nothing?!
Just how many things is Xiao Chenghai still hiding from the Li family?!
When a person is extremely angry, they can hardly speak.
It took Li Zhiyun a lot of effort to calm herself down a little.
Upon seeing this, Shen Wangqing continued, "I am truly grateful to Chuchu; it was she who helped my sister escape."
“The people from Shiqiao Village have now been arrested. Li Youfu and his accomplices have confessed after interrogation and admitted to their crimes.”
Li Zhiyun asked, "Where are they now?"
Shen Wangqing replied, "They were just transferred to the detention center in Langshan City. Would President Li like to see them?"
Li Zhiyun nodded.
He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of man had hurt Li Xiaoxiao!
Li Zhiyun was a man of action. After saying goodbye to Li Chu, he went out to visit the detention center.
He also met Li Youfu.
An ordinary-looking, seemingly honest and simple rural man.
But he was a demon who broke Li Xiaoxiao's legs, gouged out one of her eyes, and locked her in the woodshed to torture and beat her for years in order to prevent her from escaping!
If it weren't for the police watching, Li Zhiyun really wanted to rush up and beat him up.
He wanted to kill him!
But then I thought, killing him would be too easy, too easy!
Li Zhiyun thought that Li Youfu should spend his whole life in prison and suffer endless torment.
Looking at the handsome and distinguished man in front of him, Li Youfu couldn't help but shudder.
He found his gaze terrifying, as if it were more frightening than if the man were about to kill him…
Li Youfu knew that this was Li Xiaoxiao's cousin, and he was truly frightened. He knelt on the ground, crying and begging for forgiveness.
"Brother-in-law, I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
"Please, please let me go! Please talk to the police for me. I've already confessed. Please don't sentence me to death! I beg you!"
Li Zhiyun was disgusted by Li Youfu's address of his brother-in-law.
He couldn't hold back any longer and kicked Li Youfu.
Li Youfu was kicked in the chest and cried out in pain.
A nearby police officer stepped forward to stop him: "Don't do it."
Li Zhiyun closed her eyes briefly: "Sorry, I couldn't control myself."
He straightened his trousers and looked at Li Youfu, who was still lying on the ground, with a cold gaze.
"Don't worry, I'll hire a lawyer for you and make sure the court doesn't sentence you to death."
Li Youfu was still in pain, but upon hearing Li Zhiyun's words, he was immediately filled with hope.
"Really?"
