Chapter 289 The Li Family of Beijing [12]
"Really? Can the sentence really be reduced?" Li Youfu asked Li Chu.
Li Chu nodded. Anyway, she wasn't a judge, so her word didn't count.
Her expression changed, and she sighed with what seemed like regret: "Dad, you're really too stupid."
“You told me before that my cousin was taken in by a wealthy relative in the city and brought back to live a good life.”
"I only found out then that the so-called wealthy relatives were actually my mother's relatives. They were supposed to take me away, but you agreed to let my cousin go to the city in my place."
"Tell me, if you hadn't done that back then, and now you're arrested, could I have helped you?"
“Look at yourself now, and then look at your uncle and aunt.”
"Perhaps, with my cousin's help, they'll be released soon..."
How could Li Youfu accept going to jail while his elder brother and sister-in-law went out to enjoy a life of luxury?!
He immediately became agitated: "Why can they go out?! They've done plenty of bad things too! A few years ago, Li Youcai took a fancy to a female teacher from the city who came to teach in a rural area and brought her home."
"That teacher resisted fiercely and was accidentally killed by Li Youcai! He killed someone too! He can't be released!"
Li Chu feigned surprise: "Really? Then Dad, you should tell the police officer about this and ask them to reduce your sentence."
Li Youfu nodded repeatedly.
On the other side of the interrogation room, Shen Wangqing took in Li Chu's behavior.
He suddenly realized that this fifteen-year-old girl... was not at all as timid and honest as she appeared!
She's very cunning and a great actress.
Even he believed it!
Strangely enough, after discovering her true colors, Shen Wangqing did not feel the slightest disgust.
On the contrary... I admire it.
Thinking of the situation of the Li and Xiao families in Beijing.
Shen Wangqing thought that Li Chu was doing a good job.
Li Chu was unaware that Shen Wangqing had seen through her true nature.
She emerged from the interrogation room, reverting to her timid and honest demeanor.
Seeing Li Chu like this, Shen Wangqing inexplicably felt... that it was quite interesting!
With a smile playing on his lips, he asked Li Chu in a gentle voice, "What did you say to your father?"
Li Chu replied obediently, "I just want to persuade him to honestly confess the wrong things he has done, and I also hope that he can report other people in the village."
Shen Wangqing almost burst out laughing.
"Oh, do you still want to meet your uncle and aunt?" he asked.
Li Chu nodded: "I want to see them."
Shen Wangqing: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
So, Li Chu met with Li Youcai and his wife alone again.
The opening line is: "Uncle, my dad has confessed everything, including the bad things you've done."
...
Beijing City.
The Li family is quite large.
Grandpa Li, who is also Li Xiaoxiao's maternal grandfather, had a total of three sons and one daughter.
The three sons, who were Li Chu's maternal uncles, each married and had children.
All three of my maternal uncles are now grandfathers.
When this whole family gets together, it's a very lively occasion.
Unlike some cross-eyed wealthy families, the Li family is quite harmonious, and the three brothers have a good relationship.
After Old Master Li passed away, the eldest maternal uncle became the chairman of the Li Group, while the second and third maternal uncles received dividends from their shares and also held positions within the group.
The eldest son of the maternal uncle, Li Zhiyun, serves as the president of the Li Group. He is also a workaholic and works almost year-round.
That morning, Li Zhiyun had just finished a high-level meeting when his secretary handed him his personal cell phone.
"President Li, Mr. Shen from the Shen Group called you half an hour ago, saying he needs to speak with you."
Approaching forty, the elegant and refined-looking Li Zhiyun paused slightly upon hearing this.
Shen Wangqing is looking for him?
Li Zhiyun and Shen Wangqing had met a few times; they knew each other but weren't close.
After all, there's an age difference.
What could Shen Wangqing possibly want with him?
Li Zhiyun was somewhat curious.
He took the phone, found the call log, and called Shen Wangqing back.
The call was answered very quickly.
Li Zhiyun spoke with a smile, "President Shen, I heard you wanted to see me?"
I don't know what was said on the other end, but Li Zhiyun's expression changed.
His smile faded, and his gaze turned serious.
Li Zhiyun quickened her pace back to the president's office, closed the door, and then spoke:
“How could there be a mistake? When Uncle Xiao brought Pan’er back, a paternity test was done.”
He had seen the paternity test results.
But now Shen Wangqing is telling him that his Uncle Xiao picked up the wrong person back then?
After hearing Shen Wangqing's words, Li Zhiyun did not disbelieve him.
Shen Wangqing had no reason to lie to him.
Li Zhiyun couldn't help but wonder if Li Pan'er wasn't his cousin's niece, then Xiao Chenghai brought her back probably to scheme for the inheritance left by his grandfather!
Upon considering this possibility, Li Zhiyun's eyes turned cold.
Li Zhiyun: "President Shen, thank you for telling me this news. Could you please give me your address? I'll come over in person."
"Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible."
After ending the call, Li Zhiyun immediately called her secretary in.
"Cancel all the rest of your trip and buy me a plane ticket to Langshan City, the fastest one possible."
The secretary, though puzzled, replied, "Yes, Mr. Li!"
After the secretary left, Li Zhiyun first called his wife to inform her that he was going to Langshan City.
The specifics were not detailed.
There's no need to announce uncertainties beforehand, as it only adds to the trouble.
Soon, Li Zhiyun set off for the airport.
Li Chu knew that Shen Wangqing had called Li Zhiyun.
She also learned that Li Zhiyun would be coming in person.
Li Zhiyun... according to seniority, should be her maternal uncle.
In her previous life, Li Chu had never met any members of the Li family.
However, I heard that the Li family has no daughters, only sons, so they dote on Li Pan'er and give her almost anything she wants.
Li Pan'er has been living in Beijing for five years under her identity. Their relationship must be very good by now, right?
Will they hate her? Will they think she shouldn't be there?
After learning that Li Zhiyun was coming, Li Chu felt somewhat anxious and uneasy.
Seeing her like this, Shen Wangqing realized that she had finally developed some of the emotions that someone her age should have.
However, he still smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, Mr. Li is a fairly gentle person."
Li Chu looked up at Shen Wangqing and asked him, "Brother Shen, can you tell me about my great-grandfather's family and my grandfather's family?"
Shen Wangqing handed over a folder: "This contains information on the Li and Xiao families. You can take a look."
This was compiled by Xu Qian at Shen Wangqing's request; it includes not only written materials but also photos of each person.
Li Chu was astonished by the detailed contents when she opened the book.
First it was the Li family, then the Xiao family.
Li Chu slowly flipped through the pages.
She looked at it very carefully and wrote it all down.
These things are extremely important to Li Chu!
Li Chu turned to the page with Li Pan'er.
There are two photos above, one of which is when Li Pan'er was first taken to the capital.
Even though Li Pan'er was considered pampered, the children in the mountain village still had somewhat dark and rough skin.
Five years have passed, her skin has become fairer, and her temperament has also changed.
She is already quite similar to Li Pan'er, whom Li Chu saw in her previous life.
