Deliberately Approaching

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: This Person Must Be Sick!

The shout came so suddenly that several girls didn’t know what to say, feeling awkward.

Li Zishen had a distinctive presence, and was a successful businessman.

Li Zihan was sunny and handsome, with excellent academic performance.

Both brothers had a significant influence at Jinda University. While the boys envied them for being born with a "golden key," the comments varied, and the girls were more about harboring dreams, yearning for a passionate love.

Whoever was chosen would be a good match.

Was Tang Xiaowan angry? Jealous?

The three girls speculated as such and quickly made up excuses to go about their own things.

"Half an hour left," Chen Yu replied.

"Half an hour? Oh my, I only slept for a little bit and thought I was going to be late."

Tang Xiaowan muttered as she climbed out of bed.

"Xiao Wan, are you heading to class now? Wait for me; I’ll change quickly and will be ready in no time."

"I need to go to the bathroom first, I’ll head out."

Chen Yu voiced surprisingly, "Isn’t there a bathroom here?"

"I can’t wait, bye-bye."

It was only then that Chen Yu realized someone was in the bathroom.

"See you in the classroom later."

"Okay, got it."

As soon as she left, Tang Xiaowan subconsciously touched her trouser pocket, where there was an envelope containing the old photo of Yi Xiaodan.

She didn’t know whose electronic voice it was, nor the purpose of the photo, but she finally figured out that this person must be targeting the Leng Family and might very likely be in cahoots with the person who left the note at Mei Garden.

What was the basis?

Su Luoyi, though was the secretary of Li Weilian, also belonged to Yishen Pharmaceutical Factory.

Stealing, arson—the audacity was indeed great!

And about Yi Xiaodan, who had been deceased for decades, her photo curiously appeared in the notice board during the upcoming centennial celebration of Jinda University, in the highest level of honor list, and framed together with Li Zhenshan.

She was the woman Li Zhenshan longed for day and night, and Li Zhenshan was Li Zishen’s father.

Madam Lai was still alive and couldn’t get over her late husband’s affair; the appearance of the photo was bound to cause disturbance, even painful memories.

All signs pointed to the Leng Family.

The only thing Tang Xiaowan couldn’t figure out was why the electronic voice wanted to involve her in smearing the Leng Family, provoking Madam Lai.

Because Li Zishen likes me?

If even he is provoked, would it affect his work, affecting the entire Yishen Group?

Impossible, I’m not that charming!

Strange, what’s this person’s motive? Why randomly burn my books and even notify me beforehand—is it possible they’re ill?

Lost in thought, she had already reached the academic building.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the bathroom, someone called out to her.

"Xiao Wan!"

Turning, she saw it was Chen Yu.

Tang Xiaowan continued walking inside, casually saying, "Ah, you startled me, why come so early, isn’t it not time yet?"

"It’s almost time, I’ll wait for you outside."

A few minutes later, Tang Xiaowan came out only to see Chen Yu holding a box of chocolates.

"From Chen Nan?"

Chen Yu, blushing, handed them to Tang Xiaowan and then lowered her head, "About your house buying, I didn’t mean to tell her about it. You were absent from school the other day, and she insisted you went traveling with Li Zishen, saying you transferred to Jin City for him because he’s rich."

"So you mentioned the house and also said I was rich, that I didn’t need to rely on Li Zishen?"

"Yes, she was quite surprised."

After she spoke, Tang Xiaowan chuckled and began to unwrap a chocolate box, then stuffed the first piece into Chen Yu’s slightly open mouth.

"Wow, it tastes good, so sweet; it really tastes like love, hahaha."

"Xiao Wan, you’re not mad?"

"Mad? Thanks for defending me, it’s great having you, love you muah!"

Immediately, Tang Xiaowan blew a kiss through the air.

"But just now in the dormitory..."

"Okay, okay, let’s eat, someone might come soon and we’ll have to share."

Watching Tang Xiaowan’s cheerful expression and seeing her enjoy the food, Chen Yu finally felt relieved, no longer worried about losing a friend over this.

The two then talked about Chen Nan and how they expressed their affection through exchanging diaries.

...

Meanwhile, at Jinshan Villa.

Leng Lingxiao was working out on a treadmill when the butler, Zhao Renjie, hurried over.

"What’s the rush, what’s happened?"

"Master, I’ve verified it; the SIM card Lei Ziyi mentioned isn’t Li Wanshan’s. It belongs to Song Dapeng, a 50-year-old from Blue City, accused of robbery leading to an accidental drowning resulting in a 25-year sentence. The victim was Yi Xiaodan."

At this, Leng Lingxiao immediately stopped his workout: "Yi Xiaodan? Could it be Li Zhenshan’s... fiancee?"

"Yes, that’s her."

"The internet says she drowned accidentally, how does robbery come into this?"

"The case was closed ten years after Yi Xiaodan’s death. Song Dapeng stole her ring and several years passed before he tried to sell it, and he was caught by Li Zhenshan’s people. The trial wasn’t publicized; it was conducted in secret."

"That long? That ring must be... very special, unique!"

"Yes, it’s said to be a very large sapphire, with inscriptions inside the base that can only be seen when the gem is removed."

"You just said something, was the case secretly judged, not publicized?"

"Yes, Li Zhenshan probably wanted to avoid bad influence. After all, the Li family is quite prominent, and such an incident tends to get exaggerated and distorted."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"There’s another thing; this Song Dapeng is actually Su Luoyi’s father."

Leng Lingxiao: "?"

No wonder he was so afraid of calling the police yesterday!

A murderer’s father, a thief’s daughter; like father, like daughter!

It’s remarkable that she could even study abroad!

Zhao Renjie glanced at Leng Lingxiao’s phone and continued, "Master, didn’t you suspect the other day that Lei Ziyi might be the old man’s man? Why would he reveal Song Dapeng’s involvement to us, it’s strange."

Leng Lingxiao sneered, "Maybe he thinks I don’t like Li Zishen. Enemies of enemies can easily come to an agreement."

"If it’s about using someone else to commit murder, it’s a bit far-fetched, look, this case has been closed for almost 15 years now. Even if it gets exposed, it will probably lose heat quickly and be suppressed by the Li family, unless there is something hidden, or maybe there’s another move. Isn’t Su Luoyi already bailed out by Li Weilian? Could it be..."

"Wait, Song Dapeng is from Blue City, he is a Blue City person?"

"Yes, 25 years ago, he was traveling in Jin City. When he snatched the ring, he accidentally pushed Yi Xiaodan off the Jinyuan Bridge. It was raining at the time, no one saw, and he returned to Blue City that same night."

"No, I mean, Yuan Min is also from Blue City. Do you think they know each other?"

At that, Zhao Renjie was stunned, pausing for several seconds before slowly speaking: "Are you implying Li Zishen’s mother, Madam Lai?"

"Let’s not rush, let me think a bit more."

"Yes, master, are you still going to Jinyuan Academy tonight?"

Leng Lingxiao’s gaze sharpened, and he nodded slightly.
