Chapter 361 The Li Family Begins to Suspicion

The call only stopped after the hands-free call ended.

Lin Bei proactively explained his reasoning: "When Old Master Li called to ask, it must be because something happened to Li Chengxuan and he's calling to complain. We won't say anything until we know the BOSS's plan."

“He will most likely come,” Jiang Ruan said.

“He doesn’t even know where this is,” Lin Bei said with utter nonchalance.

Jiang Ruanba blinked.

That makes sense.

She picked up her phone, intending to call her mother to let her know she was safe.

She must be worried because she hasn't been home since she left the Qin family.

“Your boss called a few hours ago and told me what she was going to do, since she had guessed it from the number she clicked on. To avoid alerting her, I told her to come over later. Judging by the time, she should be here in a little while.”

He had just finished speaking.

Jiang An and Li Zhishen arrived.

Jiang An's heart had been in her throat ever since she heard about her accident, and she was finally relieved when she saw that she had woken up safely.

After showing her concern, Jiang An asked, "How did you end up in the water?"

Huo Zhizhou only told her that Jiang Ruan had gotten into some trouble, fell into the water and was unconscious, and that he would be back later.

They didn't say how or where the person fell into the water.

"There was a slight mishap." Jiang Ruan didn't want her to worry too much.

"If being deliberately crashed into the water, with dozens of assassins waiting on both sides of the river, is considered an accident, then it is indeed just a minor accident," Mo Mo said mechanically.

Jiang An and Li Zhishen frowned together.

Jiang An's voice deepened slightly: "Assassin?"

Li Zhishen: "A car crash?"

Mo Mo recounted everything that happened on the way.

He didn't miss a single detail or any of the thrilling moments, but he didn't mention the interrogation of the person behind it all after he returned.

As far as he was concerned, although Jiang An and Li Zhishen were the boss's mother and father, Li Zhishen was, after all, a member of the Li family. What if he chose to stand on Li Chengxuan's side after learning that Huo Zhizhou was dealing with Li Chengxuan?

"If Lin Bei and President Huo's men hadn't arrived in time, the three of us would have died there." Mo Mo tried to make the situation sound as serious as possible.

He would have jumped down to save them 100% of the time if Lin Bei hadn't come.

According to Si Ning, there were still Li Chengxuan's men under the waterfall. With the boss and Tang Bai both unconscious, it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with those people and rescue others all by himself.

Li Zhishen: "Do you know who did it?"

Mo Mo and Lin Bei exchanged a glance.

No, I didn't say.

"Where is Huo Zhizhou?" Li Zhishen seemed to see through their thoughts.

"He went out on some errands." Lin Bei knew that Li Zhishen was a trustworthy person, so he revealed a little, "He should be back in a while."

Li Zhishen's brows furrowed even deeper.

Since they were both men, he guessed that Huo Zhizhou had most likely gone to deal with someone.

Two buzzing sounds.

His phone rang.

When he saw that it was Old Master Li calling, he answered without thinking twice in front of everyone: "What is it?"

"Do you know where Ruan Ruan is?" Old Master Li stood outside Jiang Ruan and Jiang An's villa, and felt a little heavy-hearted when he saw that the gate was tightly closed.

Li Zhishen subconsciously looked at Jiang Ruan.

Everyone was puzzled by his look.

Li Zhishen and Old Master Li were not close, so he never answered seriously in this kind of situation: "What do you want with her?"

"I just spoke to her on the phone and heard she's unconscious." Old Master Li's words were a probe. "You didn't know she was sick?"

Li Zhishen: "?"

What the heck?

He hung up the phone immediately.

When Old Master Li called again, he hung up without hesitation.

"How did it go?" asked the butler beside Old Master Li. "Did Zhishen say anything?"

"We can't figure it out." Old Master Li's face was somber, his expression grave.

"How could we not find out? He hung up the phone because he felt guilty!" Li Chengxuan's son, Li Ze, was agitated, his brows furrowed with anxiety and worry. "Maybe this was something he and Huo Zhizhou did together!"

Old Master Li's voice suddenly turned stern: "You scoundrel, how dare you speak like that?"

"Am I wrong?" Li Ze is a few years older than Jiang Ruan, but in terms of seniority, he is the same generation as Li Zhishen. "My father has always been dissatisfied with him giving the shares to Jiang Ruan. Isn't it normal for him to want to find someone to get rid of my father?"

Old Master Li's heart sank little by little.

An hour ago, he and Li Ze both received phone calls from Li Chengxuan and his secretary, the gist of which was that Huo Zhizhou had sent people to kill them.

They recounted the events in such vivid detail that it was hard for them not to be suspicious.

"Uncle!" Li Ze called out to Old Master Li, his heart burning with anxiety. "My father is your own brother. How can you bear to watch your own brother be killed by an outsider? Family infighting is fine, but outsiders shouldn't be allowed to interfere."

"I'll call him again." Old Master Li tried his best to remain calm. "He might have hung up because I just said Jiang Ruan was sick and he was looking for someone to ask."

Originally, I called Jiang Ruan just to find out where Huo Zhizhou was.

Who knew she was sick?

Li Ze: "What illness? I think she's just deliberately covering for Huo Zhizhou."

Grandpa Li also had his doubts, but during the phone call just now, he felt that Jiang Ruan's voice was much weaker than usual, so she must really be sick.

He called back, but the call rang for less than a second before being disconnected.

He had no choice but to send him a message: "I need to talk to you about something important."

Li Zhishen saw it.

No reply.

Everyone noticed this scene.

"Go about your business, we don't need you here." Jiang An didn't think much of it; concerned for Jiang Ruan's safety, she didn't want to see this person's phone ringing again.

"You two come out with me for a moment." Li Zhishen had become suspicious and looked at Mo Mo and Lin Bei. "I have something to tell you."

The two of them glanced at Jiang Ruan.

The latter nodded slightly.

They then went out with Li Zhishen.

Only Jiang Ruan and Jiang An remained in the room. Seeing that her daughter's complexion had not fully recovered, Jiang An felt guilty: "I shouldn't have let you go to the Qin family's house."

“This is my own choice to go,” Jiang Ruan said. “Even without this incident, Li Chengxuan would have found other ways to deal with me.”

A hint of seriousness appeared in Jiang An's eyes: "Li Chengxuan?"

"While I was unconscious, Huo Zhizhou captured the mastermind behind this incident. Through interrogation and Si Ning's investigation, we learned that the person behind it all was Li Chengxuan," Jiang Ruan said truthfully, without hiding anything from her mother.

If it were Li Zhishen, she might pretend not to know.

After all, she wasn't that familiar with this "father" yet.

An emotion flickered in Jiang An's eyes.

Li Chengxuan.

It was one thing to treat her and Li Zhishen this way back then, but now they're even targeting Ruan Ruan.

"Huo Zhizhou went out to resolve this matter." Jiang Ruan told him everything she knew. "Half an hour ago, Old Master Li called me to ask about Huo Zhizhou's whereabouts. I guess he must know that Li Chengxuan is in trouble."

There was doubt in Jiang An's eyes.

Huo Zhizhou is meticulous in his work and has a flawless plan, so how could he let Old Master Li know?

This is quite different from his usual style of doing things.

at the same time.

Li Zhishen outside was also asking about this matter.

He looked at Mo Mo, whose face was like a machine's, and Lin Bei, who remained calm, and asked bluntly, "Those people who harmed Ruan Ruan were arranged by Li Chengxuan, right?"

Mo Mo: "I don't know."

Lin Bei: "We're still investigating."
