Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

At this moment, Lih Shuyi finally realized that today’s matter might not be so easily resolved.

When a man hardens his heart, it really is ruthless.

Her vision went black, and she collapsed onto the floor.

Usually, when Director Du was out of Lih Shuyi’s range, he was basically a normal person. Although they were in the same living room at the moment, the influence on his mind was almost non-existent.

The first of the three calls he made was to his secretary, instructing him to investigate everyone at the factory who might be related to Lih Shuyi and provide detailed information.

The second call was to a friend, also a leader at the Southern District Bureau, where he made his stance clear.

The third call was to the local police station, inquiring about the follow-up after the report made earlier that morning.

After making these calls, he was drenched in sweat, as if he had been pulled out of the water.

Looking at the collapsed Lih Shuyi with an inscrutable expression, he felt a chill down his spine, as if in all these years, he had never truly seen this woman.

However, it was already too late.

He had a gut feeling that he might be drawn into a scandal of unimaginable proportions.

Thinking of this, Director Du couldn’t help but want to smack himself a few times.

At this moment, the doorbell rang outside.

The police had finally arrived.

...

Meanwhile, at home reading a book, Qin Yize received a phone call. The call was long, and during it, Qin Yize didn’t say much, only occasionally responding with a few hums, clearly listening to what the other person was saying.

After hanging up, Qin Yize’s expression was pensive.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at him and handed him a glass of water, "What’s up?"

Qin Yize took a sip of water, placed the glass on the coffee table, and looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Qiaoqiao, do you remember that woman named Fang Yueqin who tricked An Xiaotong into the car?"

Fang Yueqin?

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly searched her memory and soon remembered, nodding busily, "Yes, I remember, but didn’t she already die?"

"Qiaoqiao, among the people speaking on behalf of the case, there’s a head of the Fang family from Yanjing, who is the most prominent of them all and shouldn’t be involved in this case. However, he’s putting the most pressure on the police."

"What’s the Fang family? I don’t know them."

"They’ve lived on the land of Yanjing for generations, a century-old prominent clan. The Fang family has been involved in various industries in recent years with broad connections and considerable wealth. It’s said the current head is a son-in-law by marriage, with a son and daughter, both allegedly in poor health, and Fang Yueqin is a distant relative of the Fang family..."

Gu Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, the amount of information was overwhelming.

Qin Yize frowned, "This person seems very low-profile, good to his wife and kids, but someone has seen him interact with An Xiaotong’s mother, though there isn’t specific evidence."

Still connected to the An family, Gu Qiaoqiao felt as if she had caught onto something, but upon thinking carefully, she had no clues and couldn’t help asking, "So what’s his relationship with the Lih family?"

"He was in a relationship with Lih Shuyi’s elder sister when they were young and lived in the same county."

"Oh my, so complicated, I’m so confused..."

Gu Qiaoqiao said with a pained expression.

Qin Yize chuckled softly, stroked Gu Qiaoqiao’s head, and said tenderly, "Someone will be delivering information to me shortly; once we see the data, everything should be clear."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s big eyes turned puzzled, unable to figure out what the sudden emergence of the Fang family head had to do with Lih Tianci; was it an unfinished old affair?

But even if it were, it wouldn’t mean he was involved in Lih Tianci’s matters.

Moreover, would such a wealthy man get mixed up with thugs like Lih Tianci?

However, one has to admit, the daughters of the Lih family are quite formidable.

Fifteen minutes later, a knock on the door resounded outside, Qin Yize went to open the door, and when he came back, he was holding a manila envelope.

It was already past midnight by now.

Qin Yize sat on the sofa, opened the envelope, and inside were some documents and a few photographs.

Gu Qiaoqiao curiously picked up the photos and, after looking at a few, couldn’t help but frown; they were photos of several people.

But among them, there were two photos, one of a man and one of a woman.

However, why did this man and woman look so familiar?

But she was sure that in this lifetime, she had never seen these two people.

Gu Qiaoqiao flipped the photo over, with names written on the back; the man looked very genteel, probably in his forties, named Liu Chengming, and the woman was about the same age, very beautiful, presumably Lih Shuyi’s elder sister.

Because the name written above was—Lih Shulan.

And at this moment, Qin Yize was seriously reading through the documents.

Gu Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes, placed the photos of Liu Chengming and Lih Shulan together, and then a scene flashed through her mind; she seemed to have seen these two people in the lobby of Lijing Ho.

Oh yes, she remembered.

In her previous life, the year she passed away, she had seen them twice in the kitchen and lobby.

But not alone.

There was a third person.

Liu Chengming, Lih Shulan, and An Xiaolan.

They seemed like a family of three.

That was the impression at the time.

But these things had nothing to do with them, as low-tier employees couldn’t even converse with them, though Gu Qiaoqiao remembered An Xiaolan being very happy.

In carefully reflecting, yes, An Xiaolan and Lih Shulan do look somewhat alike.

Holding the photo, Gu Qiaoqiao felt like she had stumbled on something and was just about to speak when Qin Yize put down the documents, looked at the photo, and asked with a smile, "Qiaoqiao, did you notice anything?"

"An Xiaolan and Lih Shulan seem alike..." Gu Qiaoqiao blurted out.

"They are mother and daughter, of course, they look alike..." Qin Yize said slowly.

"Oh, they are mother and daughter, oh..." Gu Qiaoqiao repeated unthinkingly and then suddenly widened her eyes, as though just realizing, and looked at Qin Yize in shock, "What, they are mother and daughter?"

"Yes, they are mother and daughter. Chairman An just found out, and guess who An Xiaolan’s biological father is?"

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the calm Qin Yize, murmuring incredulously, "Could it be Liu Chengming?"

She pointed at Liu Chengming’s photo.

Qin Yize pinched his little wife’s cheek, praising her, "Smart, you guessed correctly."

"Oh my, that’s terrifying!"

Gu Qiaoqiao raised her voice.

Qin Yize’s expression was a bit cold. At this moment, everything that was unclear is now understood.

The death of Du Tian in the past life, the disappearance of An Xiaotong, the An Family’s car accident, in this life, An Xiaotong almost got kidnapped, followed by the bomb in An Xiaotong and Du Tian’s car.

All were vicious schemes set by Liu Chengming and Lih Shulan to help An Xiaolan gain Du Tian and the An Family.

The reason they had to back off was because Chairman An began investigating.
