Old Man Li's calm demeanor was frightening: "I'm fine, boss. Go to the city government office and find Boss Liu. Ask him for help too. Da Shan, isn't your family on good terms with the Princess and the Meng family? Please go and inquire about that as well!"
This time, he will definitely not let it go!
"good!"
Chi Dashan and Li Mingfan immediately went out.
Sister-in-law Chi chased after him and asked Chi Dashan, "Who are you planning to go find?"
"I want to go to Han Fu and ask him for a favor first, and then ask him to send someone to the capital to inform my parents and see if we should ask Kuo'er's family for help or Chen Yi."
Fortunately, this place is not far from the capital.
Two days is enough time for Meng Kuo or Chen Yi's people to arrive.
It was only at this moment that Chi Dashan sadly realized that if something really happened, he had no ability to solve it and would have to seek help from others.
Enraged, Chi Dashan resolved the matter and then went back to do something astonishing that no one expected.
——
With Han Fu's help, in just one day, Han Fu found out that someone had bought two kinds of drugs that could drive people insane, as well as hallucinogenic substances, in a neighboring town...
Then I asked around and learned that as long as you have these things and someone else is trying to bewitch you, you will still be bewitched, just like being under a spell.
However, to do it without anyone noticing, it would take at least a year.
The Li family recalled that at the beginning, although Aunt Li was biased, she wasn't completely unreasonable.
Starting the year before last, they've become increasingly unreasonable...
Then, I don't know how Han Fu investigated, but he actually said that someone had seen Li Mingrong in Qingshui Town!
This stunned the Li family.
"How is that possible? Li Mingrong didn't know we lived here." Li Mingfan couldn't believe it.
They had put in a lot of effort to guard against Li Mingrong.
Han Fu sneered: "What's impossible about that? Maybe Li Mingrong didn't leave back then, and someone secretly took them in. Then, when Sister-in-law Chi goes back to her parents' home in the second half of the year, they can just follow her back."
Then, when no one is looking, they can contact Yue Huai. Then everything will make sense.
"Even if it were Li Mingrong, he wouldn't have gone so far as to kill his mother, would he?"
Despite all the despicable things Li Mingrong had done, Li Mingfan still found it hard to believe that Li Mingrong would kill his own mother!
Even a beast wouldn't kill its own mother, would it?
"If there is no conflict of interest, then of course they won't. But what if someone tempts them by saying, 'If you kill Aunt Li, how much money will you give them?'"
Or perhaps Li Mingrong volunteered himself, saying he would kill Granny Li and ask for a certain amount of money in return?
Han Fu sneered and uttered words that sent chills down one's spine.
The worst thing in this world is the human heart.
"But, but who would scheme against us? What good would killing my mother do?"
The Li family simply couldn't understand it.
Even if their family had unintentionally offended someone, it shouldn't have escalated to this point.
I'm completely baffled.
Han Fu glanced at Chi Dashan, his eyes flickering slightly, but said nothing.
After dinner, Han Fu quietly called Chi Dashan outside to talk.
"I think you'd better not let your parents and sister come to Qingshui Town."
“My mother-in-law passed away, and my parents will definitely come to pay their respects. Tangtang is with my parents, so she'll probably come too.”
My parents still value etiquette in this regard.
Han Fu rolled his eyes: "Didn't you ever think that it's very possible someone wanted to target your family, which is why they went after the Li family?"
"If your parents and sister come, might it be dangerous?"
Which is more important, so-called etiquette or the safety of the family?
Can't you even tell the difference between these simple things?
"...I will tell my parents."
However, Chi Dashan was unsure whether his parents would still insist on coming.
Han Fu snorted coldly, turned around and left.
——
The next evening, Huo Chenyi, Mr. and Mrs. Chi, and Chi Tang arrived.
Chi Dashan was greatly surprised.
Did he not receive the letter he wrote?
Why did they still come?
Ignoring everything else, after his parents finished paying their respects, he immediately pulled his mother and sister aside and told them his concerns.
"Mother knows you have a point, but how can your father and I not come to pay our respects after your mother-in-law's passing? Don't worry, the people who protect Tangtang are with her, and Chenyi has also brought people to protect her secretly. Everything will be alright."
However, for safety's sake, Aunt Chi decided to have Chen Yi take Tang Tang home later.
After all, Tangtang is still a child, so one visit to pay respects is enough.
The in-laws can understand.
"But……"
"Don't worry, I'll have Chen Yi take Tang Tang away in a bit."
Chi Tang pursed her lips and said, "Mother, you and Father should also be careful."
She thought the same as Han Fu: the matter was very likely aimed at their family, or even at her!
The purpose was to lure them to the Li family!
Otherwise, why go to such great lengths to deal with the Li family?
"Has Le Huai been found?" Aunt Chi cursed inwardly.
What kind of beast is this?
How could he possibly harm his own grandmother?
Chi Dashan shook his head: "Not yet."
"Alright, go ahead and help out." Aunt Chi patted her son on the shoulder, telling him to go help.
As a son-in-law, I also need to go to the front to help with the arrangements.
