As expected of Lu Jianshen, he noticed immediately that something was wrong with the background wall behind Tang Li.
Even though she wasn't wearing a hospital gown, the hospital's background wall had some distinctive features that made her stand out.
"I'm at the hotel right now," Tang Li lied through her teeth, trying to cover it up.
Lu Jianshen frowned. "A hospital-themed hotel?"
Clearly, he knew exactly where Tang Li was at a glance, without even pointing it out, and deliberately mocked her.
"Lu Jianshen, it's none of your business where I am." Tang Li was a little annoyed.
Lu Jianshen frowned even more. "Why did you go to the hospital? Are you sick?"
"It's none of your business."
Lu Jianshen mimicked her tone, "My mother's affairs are none of your business. The private investigator is gone. You should come back quickly. A-Lu misses you very much and keeps asking to see you every day."
Tang Li didn't believe Lu Jianshen's nonsense; her precious son was clearly very well-behaved.
During the time Tang Li was abroad, she would sometimes go to meetings in other places and might not be back for three to five days. A Lu would always obediently stay by Shen Qingxu's side.
“I know my son best; he wouldn’t be so unreasonable.”
Tang Li asked smugly, "Didn't you say you were going to arrange for a private investigator to look into it? What did they find out, and how's the progress?"
Lu Jianshen hesitated and did not speak immediately. Clearly, the private investigator had not found any valuable clues.
Tang Li also imitated Lu Jianshen, continuing to speak in a sarcastic tone.
"It seems that the private investigator that President Lu hired at such a high salary is not so good after all. He can't even compare to an ordinary person like me!"
Lu Jianshen quickly understood the deeper meaning behind her words.
"You mean you're better than a private investigator, and you already have leads, right?"
Tang Li nodded; she definitely needed to tell Lu Jianshen about this.
She originally intended to help Lu Jianshen find his mother.
Now that the results are out, there's no need to hide anything, since she doesn't intend to get anything from Lu Jianshen anyway.
"I have already met your mother."
Lu Jianshen was stunned when he heard those words.
Although he had expected it, he knew that his mother was most likely still alive.
When he actually heard the news, he was overjoyed and couldn't hide the smile that spread across his face.
Tang Li explained, "The snow here is too heavy, so I can't bring the person back. It may take another ten days until the snow stops and the ice and snow melt, making the mountain roads easier to travel on. Cars can't drive into the mountain roads."
Lu Jianshen's emotions were somewhat complicated.
After a long while, he finally lowered his proud head and thanked Tang Li.
Tang Li felt uneasy listening to his unclear voice, wondering how sincere this person could be.
Before Tang Li could remind him that he should be more sincere in his gratitude, he was left speechless.
The man frowned and said, "However, you still haven't answered my initial question."
Tang Li didn't react immediately and didn't understand what his initial question was.
"I'm asking you, what are you doing at the hospital?"
Seeing that Lu Jianshen seemed determined to investigate further, Tang Li had no choice but to lie.
"The temperature has dropped recently, and I caught a cold. I'm currently receiving intravenous fluids at the hospital."
Fortunately, Lu Jianshen did not suspect anything, as the temperature drop due to snowfall in the mountains was a normal phenomenon.
If Tang Li is hospitalized due to a cold, it's not a big deal.
"Then take good care of yourself. A-Lu is still waiting for you at home. Send me your current location."
When Tang Li heard Lu Jianshen ask for her current location, she assumed that Lu Jianshen was planning to send a car to pick her up.
Indeed, welcoming his mother home was a big event.
However, the mountains are high and the roads are long, and it's raining and snowing, so it's really not very safe.
“I can send you the location, but please don’t send a car over recently. The roads are closed due to rain and snow, and it’s impossible to drive here.”
Even the uncle who brought Tang Li here today risked his life.
Tang Li originally wanted to thank the man properly, but Yan Hui told her regretfully that the man had just left, and he had also been thinking of thanking the uncle.
However, the uncle was extremely straightforward. He said he had other goods to pick up and left in a hurry.
After Lu Jianshen got Tang Li's address, he hung up the phone and stared intently at the address for several seconds.
I searched the weather forecast for this location online, and sure enough, it was snowing heavily, and the snow might not stop for another three days.
However, Lu Jianshen couldn't wait to see them.
Seeing his father staring blankly at his phone screen, A-Lu asked in confusion, "Dad, Mom will be back soon, right?"
Lu Jianshen nodded. "Yes, she'll be back to be with A-Lu soon."
Upon hearing this, A-Lu's mood immediately improved.
"Mom and Dad, will you always be together? And never be apart again?"
Upon hearing this question, Lu Jianshen gently patted the child's head.
How should we explain this?
The deep-seated hatred between him and Tang Li seems to have vanished into thin air.
However, a rift developed between them, and it seemed they could never go back to how things were before.
Although Tang Li's father did not kill his mother, and the matter had nothing to do with Tang Li himself.
However, he still couldn't bring himself to forgive.
When he learned about this, he had only one feeling: if he were to be with Tang Li, he would be betraying his mother and his childhood.
In the period immediately following his discovery of the truth, Lu Jianshen lived in extreme pain, struggling in despair every day.
