Chapter 482: Chapter 482 Li Yipei’s Diary (1)_1

Li Yong had a good idea, but he chose the wrong person to take the fall. Do you think Situ Xin is the kind of person who would let her own father be dragged down as a scapegoat? Of course not, and even if Situ Xin were willing, Situ Haotian certainly wouldn’t be.

"Really? Then may I ask, what kind of instructions did I give your daughter that made her believe I was interested in her, and why is she so determined to follow me? If you don’t know, you can also go to the hospital, bring your daughter back, and ask her yourself," Situ Haotian said with a half-smile as he looked at Li Yong. Li Yong felt a chill down his spine under Situ Haotian’s gaze and suddenly came to his senses—how could he have forgotten the status of Situ Haotian.

"Li Yong, it seems like your daughter learned her skill in distorting the truth from you, huh. Look at me with your ’dog eyes’ and see clearly who you’re facing—a minor section chief like you cannot simply slander. And regarding your daughter’s appearance, is she as beautiful as a fairy or something? To win such special regard from my father? Let me tell you, Li Yong, in terms of looks, your daughter can’t even compare to my mother," Situ Xin paused and then took out something resembling a diary from her bag, waved it at Li Yong, and said, "Do you recognize this thing?"

As soon as Situ Xin finished speaking, both Li Yong and Situ Haotian’s gazes fell on the notebook in Situ Xin’s hand. Situ Haotian wondered what it could be while Li Yong, at a glance, recognized that it was his daughter Li Yipei’s diary. Li Yong was so familiar with it because his daughter had always used that style of notebook for her diaries ever since she began keeping them.

Li Yong’s reaction did not escape Situ Xin’s notice. The notebook had been given to her by Situ Muli. When Situ Xin first received the notebook from Situ Muli and opened it to find that it was Li Yipei’s diary, she had been slightly astonished. She never expected that Li Yipei had the habit of writing a diary, and she was even more surprised that Situ Muli managed to get hold of it. "What’s wrong, Li Yong? Do you recognize that this is your daughter, Li Yipei’s diary? You know, the contents of your daughter’s diary are quite rich. It gave me quite the shock when I read it,"

Inside Li Yipei’s diary, not only had she recorded her changing feelings for Situ Haotian, but she also detailed how she planned to ensnare him step by step. On that day, when Loo Yaxin went to find Situ Haotian at his workplace to return with him, Li Yipei had noticed her the moment she appeared. However, Situ Haotian had not noticed Loo Yaxin at that time, so Li Yipei devised a plan, deliberately talking about topics that would interest Situ Haotian, so when Loo Yaxin saw them, she would think their relationship was out of the ordinary.

Li Yipei’s diary clearly recorded the whole incident, rendering it useless for Li Yong and Li Yipei to try and smear Situ Haotian any further. If Situ Xin took the diary out, the whole truth would be revealed.

Of course, the diary didn’t just contain content about Situ Haotian. A small part of it detailed Li Yong’s dealings, clearly noting on which day someone came to their house, what they brought, and what they sought help for from her father.

This documentation was incredibly detailed, and Situ Xin found Li Yipei’s behavior puzzling. Why would she write such things? Didn’t she realize that what she’d written were all pieces of evidence against her father—that if the diary fell into someone else’s hands, it would be proof enough to put her father behind bars? "How did my daughter’s diary end up with you?" Li Yong wasn’t clear about what was written in his daughter’s diary, but as far as he could remember, it should’ve been just filled with his daughter’s personal affairs.

"How it got into my hands isn’t important, what’s important is what your daughter recorded in it. I find it quite interesting. How about it, want me to read some parts to you?" Situ Xin said, and without waiting for Li Yong’s response, she opened the diary and began reading out loud.

As the contents of the diary were read aloud by Situ Xin, Situ Haotian looked surprised. He had not anticipated that the diary would contain such information. Situ Haotian turned toward Li Yong and saw the fear on his face.

"Stop reading, stop right now," Li Yong had never imagined that his daughter’s diary would contain such information.

"Thump, thump, thump." Just as Situ Xin stopped reading, a series of knocks came from the door.

Situ Haotian glanced at his daughter and wondered, "Who could be knocking at this time?" Nevertheless, he said, "Come in."

As Situ Haotian spoke, the door creaked open, and several anti-corruption bureau agents walked in. "Chief Situ, sorry to disturb you. We’re from the anti-corruption bureau. We have received a complaint against Li Yong and have come to take him back for an investigation."

Upon hearing ’anti-corruption bureau,’ everything went dark before Li Yong’s eyes, and he nearly fainted. Fortunately, the quick response of the agents caught Li Yong before he could collapse.

Situ Haotian did not expect the anti-corruption bureau to act so swiftly. However, he glanced at his beloved daughter and surmised this matter must be connected to her somehow.

This matter indeed involved Situ Xin, but she wasn’t the one who had handled it. It was Xiang Yang who, under her instruction, had approached a section chief at Li Yong’s unit—one who was usually at odds with Li Yong. Xiang Yang had placed the evidence from Li Yipei’s diary, which could incriminate Li Yong, on the desk of that section chief who was in opposition to Li Yong.

Situ Xin did not expect the anti-corruption bureau to act so quickly. It could be said it was the swift action of the section chief who was always in conflict with Li Yong that made the difference.

Originally, when the staff in Situ Haotian’s unit witnessed the anti-corruption bureau agents inquiring about the location of their head’s office, they were utterly astonished. Their first thought was that perhaps Situ Haotian had taken bribes, and they speculated about who might have reported Situ Haotian to the anti-corruption bureau.
