Deliberately Approaching-Chapter 564 - 526: This Time He Got Lucky

"How could you have Li Wanshan’s number?"

"In August, when you were healing at Li Garden..." Leng Lingxiao said with a faint smile, tinged with a hint of helplessness, "I was worried, but grandma..."

"So you took the excuse to go to Jin City, and then Li Wanshan came to you proactively at Jinshan Villa?"

"Yes!"

"Actually, at that time in Li Garden, I did hear your name, but I didn’t know then... I’m sorry, causing you so much concern for so long!"

"It’s okay, it’s all in the past."

"Why would Li Wanshan want to go to Y country? He used to value his shares so much, and this time he just transferred them so suddenly, his decades of hard work, didn’t he leave a single bit for his beloved son?"

Leng Lingxiao laughed and lightly flicked Tang Xiaowan’s nose tip; her train of thought really did jump too quickly.

He was still waiting for a deep confession.

"As long as the green hills last, there will be no fear of a lack of firewood."

It just made Li Zishen reap the benefits!

"Huahua, let’s just have one child in the future, to avoid the struggle over property," Tang Xiaowan said sweetly as she lay on Leng Lingxiao’s legs.

"What if it’s twins?"

"Twins? My goodness, wouldn’t they stretch my stomach into a huge ball? How could that be, just the thought of it is frightening, two of them!"

"The fighting prowess of your husband is still very strong."

"Fighting prowess?"

"Um, isn’t it?"

Zhao Renjie: Should I be listening to this?

He regretted not raising the partition.

Afterward, Tang Xiaowan bit her lip and quickly pressed her scalding face tightly against Leng Lingxiao’s grey shirt, her heart pounding wildly.

My goodness, what did I just say!

How could I think of having children?

"Go to sleep, I’ll call you when we arrive," Leng Lingxiao said softly as he stroked Tang Xiaowan’s black hair, his eyes smiling.

...

Meanwhile, at the police station, the atmosphere was grave and tense, the light shone on the cold walls, reflecting the complex emotions on everyone’s faces.

Li Wanshan has been sitting in the corner of the interrogation room since making the call, his hands clasped on his knees.

His eyes revealed deep regret and anxiety, occasionally lifting his head to look towards the door, hoping that people from Leng Lingxiao’s side would come over quickly.

A burly man stood two meters away from Li Wanshan, his face still seething with anger.

His rough hands were clenched into fists, slightly trembling with agitation, a gun was on the table in front of him, temporarily in the custody of the officers, but its presence added even more tension to the room.

The two police officers in charge of the incident maintained high alert, recording the statements of both parties while attempting to ease the tense mood.

The officers exchanged glances from time to time.

An older officer, acting as the peacemaker, patiently explained legal procedures to the man, emphasizing the importance of handling the matter calmly, but the man was adamant, clearly refusing any form of compensation, insisting on having Li Wanshan expelled from Y country.

"Officer sir, I’m telling the truth, the road was a bit slippery, and I did everything I could."

The older officer nodded slightly.

Li Wanshan was very sincere, trying hard to explain. He admitted that due to his negligence, he had brought fright and unease to the man’s family, and was willing to take full responsibility, but he was also very anxious facing the man’s steadfast attitude.

He worried that if the matter escalated, it could not only expose his new address but might also be sensationalized by the media into a scandal of bullying by power.

Second Aunt Lai’s eyes were red with worry.

Whenever there was an opportunity, she would immediately go forward to apologize to the man’s wife, crying.

"I’m really sorry, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. My husband has always been a steady driver, he definitely didn’t mean any harm to the child, we are willing to take full responsibility, I have a child too, and I completely understand how you feel."

She kept repeating various apologies, her voice already a bit hoarse from crying so much.

The man’s wife remained unforgiving.

And the butler, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, was stopped outside by an officer and was now making a phone call.

...

At 10:30 p.m., Jin City Li Garden.

Li Zihan looked at the newly received messages and images, and anger erupted in his heart once again.

Damn it, it was just a scratch.

Hmph, this time... you’re just lucky.

After pondering for a moment, he stood up to leave the bedroom, only to see Bai Long coming downstairs with a heavy heart just as he reached the turn of the stairwell.

It seems Xiao Wan’s influence is quite significant!

They’re all starting to use the stairs now.

Since Yuan Min’s incident, Li Zihan had been staying in Li Garden and refused to return to Nanjiang Villa.

In his heart, that place was no longer home; without his mother, Bie Yuan was just a cold house. Li Garden, on the other hand, not only had his brother but also the first-hand news he wanted to know.

The surveillance of Li Wanshan was being conducted very covertly, but Bai Long did not intend to hide it from Li Zihan.

"Little Black Dragon, is my brother in the study?"

Taken aback by Li Zihan’s question, Bai Long quickly gathered his thoughts, "I’d advise you better not go up now, Brother Shen is currently... in the gym."

Li Zihan: "?"

What has been discovered again!

"Who’s he working out with, Chen Xin?" Li Zihan asked with a frown, showing concern.

Bai Long helplessly shook his head.

"How’s the investigation of my mother’s case going?"

"There’s still no discovery."

"It’s been two days, a full two days have passed. Could it be that it wasn’t a cargo ship? Perhaps we’re looking in the wrong direction, maybe yachts?"

Li Zihan was clearly losing control of his emotions.

"Yachts, all sizes of vessels, every watercraft..." Bai Long paused, then lowered his voice, "You don’t know Chen Xin well, he’s meticulous in his work, almost to the point of dismantling people’s boats."

"Add my third uncle and mom, six people—how could they not leave any traces? Even if their counter-surveillance skills are strong, even if they disposed of the car, there should be something left, right? Not even a witness?"

"That night it rained all night and there was a north wind blowing. It’s quite normal that there were no people around Jinyuan River."

With that, Li Zihan didn’t press any further.

Of course, he remembered that it started raining at four in the afternoon the day before and didn’t stop until daylight the next day.

Why is it that only my third uncle survived?

And we can’t even find my mom’s body!

"You should rest early."

After saying so, Bai Long walked away.

But as he reached the lobby, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, remembering Lai Jingshan’s words, feeling as though he’d overlooked something.

The wooden box.

When he woke up, he was already at the shore.

With this thought, Bai Long quickly took out his phone and called the technician responsible for fixing the surveillance.

He wanted to clarify as soon as possible whether Lai Jingshan had been taken to shore deliberately to create some sort of false impression.

There can’t be so many coincidences in this world.

The wooden box just happened to hit a big rock and split open, no drowning, and even got washed ashore.

"How’s the new one we sent this afternoon?"

A faint yawn came from the phone: "There’s no sign of any tampering, and it can’t capture the shoreline— it just reaches the edge of the greenery."

"What about the cameras near the repair shop?"

"They’ve all been checked one by one, no sighting of the lady’s car, and Mr. Li’s either."

Another yawn came through the phone.

The scope of the search continued to expand, and the technical staff hadn’t had a proper rest for two days and nights.

"Let’s leave it at that for now, we’ll continue tomorrow."

"Yes, Brother Long."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Long’s expression darkened, convinced that his judgment was not wrong.
