Chapter 129 Eyes Under the Sunglasses
Li Zishen had returned and was now holding a cup of honey ginger water. His face bore no trace of a smile, for he had overheard most of what Tang Xiaowan had said.
He paused for a few seconds before slowly pulling out his cell phone.
"After handling the matter, conduct a thorough investigation of everyone at Li Garden, including Bie Yuan, and follow the rules without leniency."
"Yes, got it."
The message was for Bai Long; not wanting to disturb Tang Xiaowan, he had purposely set his phone to silent mode.
Li Zishen had known about Lin Ping’s last clandestine drugging, which is why he had sent Chen Xin to secretly handle it and force the remaining pills down her throat.
He hadn’t taken Lin Ping’s life but had caused her to suffer severe physical damage, leaving her with a significant health condition.
Concerning the radishes, Li Zishen had also been puzzled. He didn’t understand why Tang Xiaowan always rushed to the back door to wait for the vegetable delivery driver, as if she was very eager. It turned out the radishes handed to her had issues, so she had no choice but to fetch them herself.
Ironically, her extreme measures had led Li Zishen to misinterpret her actions as a change of heart, eventually resulting in the dismissal of the delivery driver.
Xiao Wan, I’m sorry.
I’m right by your side, yet I couldn’t protect you completely, so it’s no wonder you don’t trust me.
