Chapter 263 - 257: Waiting for the Second Update
Mr. Li’s anger cooled slightly after drinking some herbal tea. He frowned at the two tense children and said, "What are you standing there for?"
Li Xianglu hurriedly pulled Qin Xi to sit on Mr. Li’s right-hand side, while she sat beside Qin Xi, effectively shielding herself from view.
Mr. Li was aware of his granddaughter’s little trick and found it slightly amusing, though he kept a stern face and said, "Qin Xi, do you realize your mistake?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xi immediately stood up and nodded, saying, "Grandpa, I know my mistake. I didn’t keep an eye on Xiangxiang."
Mr. Li nodded and said, "Good, it’s good that you understand where you went wrong. The initial handling of the situation was acceptable; you informed the family in time. But what was with the conflicting statements later on? Do you think the public security officers are fools?"
Li Xianglu rubbed her hands nervously, carefully hiding behind Qin Xi, thankful that his broad back was hiding her completely.
Mr. Li shook his head helplessly and said, "Do you think there’s no one monitoring Jiang Xinhua?"
Li Xianglu was startled and exclaimed, "Ah!"
Mr. Li sighed and continued, "Mr. Deng’s lecture at the school was a significant event, and the security arrangements had been decided before the semester began. The security personnel had already thoroughly checked everyone at the school for any suspicious individuals."
Li Xianglu murmured to herself, wondering about the explosives. If she hadn’t discovered it and put it in the Storage Ring in time, it might have caused a huge panic.
