Chapter 504 Willing Suicide

Chapter 504: Chapter 504 Willing Suicide

Nan Qiao quickly shook her head, "Turn off the lights and sleep."

Li Yehan smiled and turned off the lights.

The room was pitch black, and Li Yehan pulled Nan Qiao into his arms.

"Don’t worry, I just want to hold you while I sleep."

Nan Qiao relaxed and slept in Li Yehan’s embrace.

...

Late at night.

Li Xia lay alone in the detention center. In just a few days, her cheeks had thinned, and she looked particularly haggard from sleepless nights.

At that moment, a paper ball was thrown in, landing right at Li Xia’s feet.

Li Xia’s eyes lit up. She knew her chance had come. She could finally escape this wretched place and start a new life!

Li Xia eagerly opened the paper ball, but when she saw the words, her heart sank.

Li Xia slumped to the ground, the note in her hand only had one word: die.

Tormented, Li Xia had no desire to die.

Soon, the note dissolved, like a puddle of water, quickly evaporating.

Watching the paper dissolve, Li Xia felt like her life was slipping away bit by bit.

...

The next day.

When she was found, Li Xia was already a corpse.

Li Xia had turned her clothes into strips and hanged herself.

Killing herself, no one knew how Li Xia managed to get over that hurdle mentally.

When Li Yehan heard this news, he was downstairs reading a financial magazine and drinking coffee.

"What’s the situation with Li Ye?"

Old Wu replied, "Li Ye’s situation isn’t good. One of his legs is ruined, crippled. Moreover, in the damp environment, he got a rash and was sent to the hospital for treatment."

"Keep a close watch to prevent them from using the hospital to rescue Li Ye."

"Rest assured, Mr. Li, our people are on guard 24/7, and everything inside and outside the hospital is arranged. There won’t be any problems."

Li Yehan nodded, "You go ahead and do your tasks."

Li Yehan got up, planning to see if his little wife had woken up.

After taking a few steps, Li Yehan sensed a gaze from above.

He looked up and met Nan Qiao’s eyes.

"Good morning," Nan Qiao said with a smile.

Li Yehan didn’t step forward but returned her smile, "Breakfast is ready, would you like to come down and eat?"

"Yes."

Wearing pajamas, Nan Qiao walked downstairs.

The maid brought in the breakfast, sea cucumber porridge, shrimp dumplings, and custard buns, and finally, bird’s nest soup was served.

While Nan Qiao was eating the bird’s nest, Li Yehan placed a shrimp dumpling on the plate in front of her.

Soon, a sandwich and some fruit were also brought over.

Looking at the sumptuous breakfast, Nan Qiao wasn’t really hungry.

"I can’t eat that much; you eat more," Nan Qiao said.

Li Yehan put aside the financial magazine and peeled two shrimps for Nan Qiao.

"Li Xia is dead, she committed suicide."

Nan Qiao was a bit surprised, "Wasn’t she going to be a whistleblower? How did she die?"

"We don’t know the exact reason. She was already dead when found in the morning."

Nan Qiao lost her appetite and decided not to eat anymore.

"I’m going to take a look. She always had a strong will to live; it couldn’t have been a pointless suicide," Nan Qiao stood up, "I’ll go change clothes."

Nan Qiao went upstairs to change clothes, with Li Yehan accompanying her.

...

Nan Qiao entered the place where Li Xia had stayed before her death, with Li Yehan carrying Nan Qiao’s suitcase.

Director Li and Qin Rong were also there.

Director Li said, "I came to the scene immediately upon receiving the news to gather evidence."

Nan Qiao nodded slightly and gave Li Yehan a look.

Li Yehan immediately opened the medical kit and became Nan Qiao’s assistant, helping with the evidence collection.

Nan Qiao had already changed her clothes and put on gloves.

Qin Rong glanced at Nan Qiao and didn’t dare to say anything more.

The lesson from last time left a deep impression on her, and she swore not to taunt Nan Qiao again this time.

Nan Qiao held a detector in her hand, and the group began searching for evidence.

After a while, Director Li and Qin Rong finished their work.

Nan Qiao squatted down to examine the ground.

Qin Rong couldn’t hold it in and spoke first, "What’s so interesting about the ground? Are you going to say the evidence is on the ground?"

Qin Rong’s expression: You just have to see if I’ll believe it.

Director Li nudged Qin Rong with his elbow, signaling her to stop talking.

Qin Rong shut her mouth and didn’t make another sound.

Ignoring the two, Nan Qiao took tools out of the box.

She first scraped some debris from the ground and placed it in a test tube.

Then, she sprayed some reagents on it.

Soon, that part of the ground looked markedly different from the rest.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

Especially Qin Rong, whose eyes widened.

"How could this be?"

Nan Qiao said, "To know the specific reason, we’ll have to run some tests."

Nan Qiao put the items back in the box, gave Li Yehan a look, and together they walked out.

It was Director Li’s first time seeing the willing-to-be-an-assistant side of Li Yehan.

...

Li Yehan took Nan Qiao to the laboratory to work on the experiment with Zheng Qinnian and others.

As for him, after dropping off his wife, he had to return to the company to work.

Nan Qiao watched Li Yehan leave, entered the lab, her gentle gaze turning firm.

She went in, changed her clothes, and entered the laboratory.

Zheng Qinnian was inside waiting for her. Seeing Nan Qiao slowly approach, his expression was somewhat dazed.

"Qiaoqiao, you got your marriage certificate with Li Yehan?"

Yesterday, Zheng Qinnian was abroad and couldn’t come back to attend Nan Qiao’s wedding feast.

When a drunken Hou Ze told him, he was still a bit incredulous.

Nan Qiao shook her ring, "Yes, we did."

Zheng Qinnian forced a somewhat awkward smile, "Qiaoqiao, congratulations."

"Thank you."

Nan Qiao walked into the lab, with Zheng Qinnian following her.

"Ah Nian, today’s focus is on testing the ground samples."

"Okay."

The two coordinated seamlessly and began their research.

...

Li Yehan returned to the company, and Secretary Zhao saw him come in and quickly went over, "Mr. Li, Li Ye said he wants to see you."

Li Yehan didn’t stop his stride, continuing in the direction of his office.

"Li Ye said he has some matters he wants to discuss with you in person."

Li Yehan paused, turned around, and headed outside, "Let’s see what rubbish he wants to say."

Secretary Zhao hurriedly followed behind Li Yehan to go see Li Ye together.

...

Li Ye walked out, looking at the impeccably dressed and confidently arrogant Li Yehan, letting out a self-deprecating laugh as he approached.

Li Ye sat down, defiantly looking coldly at Li Yehan.

"Li Yehan, now that you’re sitting comfortably in the president’s position, you’re pretty pleased, aren’t you?"

Li Yehan sat upright, his expression cold.

"You called me here, what do you want to say."

Li Ye leaned forward, enunciating each word, "Do you really think you can hold onto this position securely?"

Li Yehan lifted his eyelids, smiled, "Is that all you wanted to say to me, this nonsense?"

Li Ye: "..."

"I want to make a deal with you; release me and I’ll tell you a secret, one that concerns the safety of you and Nan Qiao. How about it?"

Li Yehan didn’t respond.

Li Ye continued, "Aren’t you quite fond of Nan Qiao? Can you bear to see something happen to her?"
