Li Shiming's words touched Yan Jinqun. He closed his eyes and nodded.
His voice trembled slightly. "Alright, even if there's still a sliver of a chance, I'll try. In my lifetime, I must find the murderer who poisoned Old Five. If Old Five is gone, the Yan family will have no future. Even if I have to sacrifice the entire Yan family, what can I do?"
Ling Ju did not miss Yan Jinqun's expression. He was in his fifties and had a few gray hairs. He was the eldest son of the Yan family. He said such words for his only surviving brother. It showed that everyone in the Yan family really valued Yan Jintang and that he loved his brother very much.
She felt a little guilty for having doubted Yan Jinqun before.
"Jinqun, relax. As long as there is a chance, we will not give up. But do you have any clues about finding the murderer?" Li Shiming persuaded Yan Jinqun.
Yan Jinqun shook his head. "I have suspects, but I'm not sure. We don't have any evidence. We've questioned the servants and drivers one by one, but we haven't found anything unusual. My brother and I have been ruthless in defending the Yan family over the years, and there are many people out there who are jealous or want to ruin the Yan family. Even if we eliminate them one by one, it will take some time to investigate. Song Qi told me before that Lao Wu's driver might be suspicious, so I've been keeping a close eye on him recently. I hope to get some clues soon."
Li Shiming nodded. "Please pay more attention to your parents as well. They're not young anymore. Let's not talk about these things if we can. At least I can save Lao Wu's life before we find the antidote."
Yan Jinqun understood, "Uncle Li, I'm really grateful to you this time. Otherwise, Lao Wu would probably be... I feel really guilty now. Your family was in such a difficult time a few years ago, and I didn't help..."
Li Shiming patted Yan Jinqun on the back and said, "Don't say that. Your aunt said that your parents often spoke up for her when others gossiped about her. If that's not helping her, what is it? Besides, your aunt has also told me a lot about what has happened over the years. Whether it's the Ye family, the Yan family, the Song family, or even the Jiang family, life has not been easy."
Yan Jinqun didn't say anything, just sighed.
"Uncle Li, thank you for your understanding. However, from now on, as long as the Yan family has food to eat, your Li family will definitely have food to eat as well. Of course, there's also Orange. You've helped my brother so much, and our family is even more grateful to you! No matter what the outcome of this matter is, I, Yan Jinqun, and our Yan family will never stab you in the back!"
