Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Old Madam Li leaned on the pillow, her murky eyes revealing a cold light, ”It’s hard to say whether Li Ronghuan is telling the truth or not, and whether Chuhai was really killed by this girl. But judging by this, this wretched girl is indeed no easy opponent. You must investigate thoroughly; we can’t let your brother’s murderer get away but also mustn’t be careless. Who knows if this is a trap set by Li Ronghuan for us?”

”Mother, rest assured, you should rest well; I will thoroughly investigate,” Madam Li soothed Old Madam Li, ”You keep watch over home, and I’ll keep watch over everything outside.”

Madam Li was aware of her mother’s suspicions. The fact that Li Ronghuan had spoken such words with the clear intention of wrongdoing made it difficult to discern their truth.

Would he really reveal the truth to them out of the kindness of his heart if he discovered it? What if he had conspired with that girl to deliberately set a trap for them? After all, that girl was a tough nut to crack, who had managed to completely charm the Old Madam of the Qin family; surely, the Qin family members were all on her side.

What would she do if, in the end, she and that girl were at odds, and Li Ronghuan turned out to be the fisherman who benefitted from their quarrel?

But if what Li Ronghuan said was true, and she had to watch the murderer of her own brother flaunting in front of her without seeking vengeance and letting it slide, she would be letting Chuhai down.

Madam Li closed her eyes; she had to have someone properly investigate the matter.

Li Ronghuan truly knew how to torment one’s heart!

The attending Du Jiayi, seeing the fierce expression that flashed across her mother’s face when she closed her eyes, began to calculate in her heart as well. She had been so rattled by Qin Xiu’s closeness to Ye Jian just now that she had forgotten Ye Jian might be the murderer of her uncle!

Should... should she tell Li Jun?

No, Li Jun already knew about Ye Jian. What she should tell Li Jun was that Ye Jian was in the capital city; would there be any actions on his part once he found out?

Her father had made it clear: he would not allow her mother to interfere in Li family affairs, nor to deal with her uncle’s matters, and even her elder brother had warned her mother. So, the best solution was to have Li Jun deal with Ye Jian.

Ye Jian, Ye Jian... Du Jiayi, sitting by the sickbed, grew more and more sinister. Don’t blame her for being ruthless—it’s all because you know Qin Xiu and even managed to gain his affection.

What Du Jiayi couldn’t have, no one else should even think about having!

Qin Xiu belonged to the Qin family; she couldn’t touch him, but you, a mere orphan girl, even if you are now protected by the Qin family, ha, what of it! She would still use others to do her dirty work.

In the quiet hospital room, besides the faint sound of breathing, no one else spoke. Three generations, each with their own thoughts, spent the night together; it was already past 3 am in the morning, time to rest.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Qin and Qin Ying finally managed to arrive—thank goodness for the V8 driver, whose skill was truly unmatched. Mrs. Qin had been worried initially, but later, she even urged the driver to go faster.

Despite being somewhat far away, speed still took some time.

”Mother!”

”Grandma!”

The two women who hurriedly rushed in spoke at the same time. On their way here, they were both extremely anxious; the old master had always been healthy, so how could he suddenly have been taken to the hospital?

The leading V8, who was among the first to enter, almost blurted out a question when he spotted Ti Yejian, and Mrs. Qin and Qin Ying were even more surprised to see Ye Jian accompanying the Old Madam of the Qin family, especially Mrs. Qin, who was so surprised she froze.

Qin Ying was the first to react, discretely pulling Mrs. Qin, ”Mother.”
