"Second Uncle, sorry for the trouble. You’ve all put in so much effort these days."
"It’s what we should do. We have so leads now, so don’t worry too much."
"Okay, okay."
Just as they were discussing what to do next, Lin Wan received a call from Han Yi.
"Just got ho?"
"Yes, Han Yi, I suspect that Ye Qing is behind this ss, including the accusations against ."
"Yes, Mom told . Also, soone nad Wei Shan was investigated and fits the profile. I’ve shortlisted a few possibilities. Grab a pen and take notes."
"Oh... Alright." Lin Wan knew Han Yi was sharp; like Second Uncle, he had pinpointed key individuals just through analysis without eting them.
When she wrote down the third na, Lin Wan saw the address and her expression changed, recalling an event from her past life.
At the ti, when she went to find Li Liang, she was assaulted by his wife and family. His wife bragged that her brother worked for the governnt, daring anyone to ss with them and be clueless to their fate.
This sparked a realization for Lin Wan: if she guessed right, this Wei Shan might be Li Liang’s brother-in-law.
Haha, Ye Qing wants to ss with my family? Fine, I’ll let her taste my past life’s revenge this ti.
"Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan? Are you listening?"
"Ah, yes, I’m noting it down."
"Yes, these people have good family connections and ties with the governnt. Knowing officials is quite normal. We can ask Second Uncle to focus the investigation on these individuals."
"Got it. Han Yi, my brother was beaten in the detention center. Mom says the beating was brutal." Lin Wan’s eyes began to redden at the thought of her brother suffering inside.
Han Yi’s eyebrows furrowed coldly as he looked down at his leg and responded in a low tone, "Xiao Wan, you and Mom shouldn’t worry. You have here. Once I return, I’ll find whoever is beating our brother. Rest assured, anyone who harms our family won’t et a good end."
"Okay."
Han Yi hung up on Lin Wan and called Wei Jian Country, then instructed Xiao Wang to bring over his attending physician.
He wanted to get discharged. With Lin Wan and Mom relying on him, he couldn’t let the two won face so much alone. He needed to return and shield them.
...
When Lin Wan returned, Zhang Hanfu was there.
"Yesterday I t the doctor treating Ah Hui, specifically asked him about Ah Hui’s condition."
"The doctor said Ah Hui is relatively safe inside, pretending to be comatose. It’s safer than the police station, so don’t worry. He also ntioned Mu Qing’s parents called to report him and asked to tell you there’s a marriage certificate with Mu Qing underneath Ah Hui’s room cabinet."
Shen Xinghe clapped his hands and laughed, "This makes things easy. With a marriage certificate, it can’t be considered abduction."
Lin Wan secretly blad herself for being muddled, as she knew this, "I’ll go get it."
Liang Hongi was surprised and had no idea when her child married Mu Qing?
"This... How co I didn’t know?" Liang Hongi questioned as Lin Wan fetched her brother and sister-in-law’s marriage certificate from the cabinet.
"Mom, Mu Qing’s family didn’t agree, so they secretly registered."
"What nonsense..." If not for this, Ah Hui wouldn’t be in this predicant.
"Now isn’t the ti to bla the kids. We have a handle with this certificate, things will be much easier."
"At least the police can’t be so aggressive now," Zhang Hanfu smiled and exhaled in relief, not forgetting Lawyer Xu’s suggestion. "Xiao Wan, don’t you have a cara? Bring it over, I’ll take it to the doctor. Tomorrow, when he treats your brother, we can have him take so covert photos to leave evidence."
"Okay, I’ll get it."
"By the way... Second Uncle, Han Yi just called with so potential people. Here are their addresses."
Shen Xinghe took the note and smiled, "That kid really is impressive. Alright, I’ll handle this now. You all stay ho and wait for news. Cong Nan has been running around with all day, go ho and get so rest."
"Second Uncle Shen, I’m not tired."
"Brother Cong Nan, later, co out with . I need your help with sothing."
"What’s up?"
After seeing Shen Xinghe off, Lin Wan went to her courtyard to fetch the cara for Zhang Hanfu. After a quick shower and change of clothes, she rode a tricycle with Li Congnan, preparing to find Li Liang.
"Xiao Wan, where are you guys going? Let Mom co with you. I can’t sit still at ho."
"Mom, it’s fine. Why don’t you pick up Little Star? Brother Cong Nan and I will be back soon."
"... Okay, you two be careful."
"We got it, Aunt Liang, I’m here. I won’t let anything happen to Lin Sister." As they left the house, Li Congnan asked Lin Wan.
"Lin Sister, where exactly are we going?"
"I have a rough idea who Wei Shan is. I also know her brother-in-law, an art teacher who used to teach us. I know recently he’s been having marital issues. He’s been bullied by his in-laws for a while. We’re going to find him today, but I can’t show myself, so Brother Cong Nan will have to do it. Remind him to write an anonymous report."
Li Congnan listened, excitedly, "That’s a great idea. If this is the right Wei Shan, Ah Hui will be out soon... Hey, Xiao Wan, let’s grab a knife when we pass the mall; we need sothing to intimidate him."
"Brother Cong Nan, you’re overestimating him. He’s a coward; a bit of scare and he’ll do nothing to you. Besides, we’re reminding him, not picking a fight."
"Alright... I’ll give him a good reminder. Can’t even manage his own wife; truly pathetic."
"Brother Cong Nan, this teacher often lures married won. I know quite a bit about him, so remind him of that when you talk to him. If he refuses, we can charge him with indecent assault."
"Really? I say, such people should be directly reported and executed, a relief to all won... Hey, Xiao Wan, how do you know this?"
"Ugh, back in school, he’d always be hovering around and Su Ling. Later, Pei Bai, Su Ling, and I tracked him for a while before discovering his antics."
"Such scum, wait till I handle him."
Lin Wan brought Li Congnan to Li Liang’s school, where they told the school reception that soone wanted to see Li Liang.
Students were on vacation, but teachers hadn’t gone on break yet.
So he assud Li Liang would be around school.
.....
anwhile, Li Liang was anxious because of the task Ye Qing gave him, worrying about the money—four thousand dollars, and where to get that amount.
He thought about spending a thousand from his pocket to find Ye Qing a buyer. But his wife tightly controlled their finances, leaving him no room at ho.
Recently, he was also cautious about finding targets, as the police were scrutinizing closely. He was careful not to say anything, fearing accusations of indecency.
Which is also why he was willing to pay Ye Qing; he didn’t want to anger her and face imprisonnt, maybe even execution.
When soone looked for him, Li Liang thought Ye Qing was urging him and reluctantly ca over.
Who knew the visitor was a man?
"Are you Li Liang?"
"Who are you?"
Li Congnan pointed to a shady spot by the school gate, "Let’s talk over there."
"I don’t know you; what’s there to talk about?" He hurriedly tried to return to school, fearing Li Congnan was soone’s aggrieved husband.
If discovered, the trouble would be significant.
"I heard your father-in-law is bribing officials to get a position for your brother-in-law. Aren’t you curious?"
Li Congnan’s words successfully piqued Li Liang’s interest. He turned back, suspicious, "How do you know?"
"No need to worry about that. I also heard you’re having a divorce issue with your wife. Do you want to divorce?"
"I do, absolutely," The ntion of divorce lit Li Liang’s eyes. He eagerly approached Li Congnan, pulling him towards the shade.
"Buddy, show the way."
"It’s simple; just help write a report to the anti-corruption agency. Your father-in-law’s dealings will be exposed. By then, your in-laws will be too busy saving themselves to care about your divorce, maybe even begging you in the end–don’t you think?"
