When Song Yi'an called again, the phone was turned off.
He immediately panicked.
Meanwhile, Li Qiyu in Xiyu Villa was also in a panic.
She had forgotten to charge her phone yesterday. While chatting with Ming Yuexuan, the call suddenly cut off.
It was the first time she had encountered a situation where her phone ran out of battery and shut down. She pressed the power button several times but there was no response. She could only rush out anxiously to look for Sister Liu. At that moment, there was no one at home and Sister Liu had gone out to buy groceries.
Finally, when Sister Liu came back, she learned that it was just the phone running out of battery, not broken.
Fortunately, Li Qiyu had a good memory. She knew Ming Yuexuan's number, so she borrowed Sister Liu's phone and called her.
By this time, Ming Yuexuan had already investigated and got a result. She quickly shared it with Li Qiyu.
"That accountant does know that Zhang Lili is actually Jiang Yongfeng, but he doesn't seem to care. Jiang Yongfeng must have promised him something. That accountant still seems to be infatuated with her. So even though he knows she's someone else's wife, he still works for her."
Even Ming Yuexuan couldn't help sighing. "This Jiang Yongfeng is really a master at playing with men's feelings! If she weren't your enemy, I'd even want to ask her to be my teacher. Why can't I find a boyfriend?"
Li Qiyu: "..." She remembered a saying from Concubine Xiang, who used to be highly favored in the palace: "Empress, do you know where you lost? You lost because you truly fell in love with the emperor. The emperor likes me just because I don't like him. Men are such cheapskates. Once they get your heart, they find you boring."
This saying also applies to Jiang Yongfeng.
Jiang Yongfeng never stays for any man. Li Qiyu could foresee that if there were a man with better conditions than Li Xiangping, Jiang Yongfeng would abandon Li Xiangping without hesitation.
All she pursues is material things.
That's why these men are so infatuated with her and always revolve around her.
"However, Xiaoyu, do you think there's any connection between Xiaoyu's suicide by jumping into the river and Jiang Yongfeng? Since I found out that the accountant is Jiang Yongfeng's man, I've always had this faint suspicion in my heart. The common way for gangs to silence someone is to push them into the river. Although this association is a bit far - fetched, this suspicion just lingers in my mind."
The possibility that Jiang Yongfeng might have done something to Li Xiyu had always been a suspicion in Li Qiyu's heart. So after Ming Yuexuan said these things, doubts also welled up in her heart.
However, the top priority was to undermine Jiang Yongfeng's influence.
Now her open supporter was Li Xiangping, and her secret supporter was the gang Ming Yuexuan mentioned.
If Li Xiangping found out about this, it would be really interesting!
Just imagining this scene, Li Qiyu thought it would be wonderful.
After returning the phone to Sister Liu, Li Qiyu decided to figure out how to let Jiang Yongfeng's ex - lover and current lover meet. Li Qiyu knew that she had to strike a fatal blow against Jiang Yongfeng. The example of Li Yuanhua a few days ago was a warning. In front of his son and Jiang Yongfeng, Li Xiangping might still choose Jiang Yongfeng.
So she had to keep herself out of it and not get involved.
Li Qiyu was thinking hard. Due to over - thinking, her brain was very excited and she couldn't fall asleep even in the middle of the night. So she got up and was going to find something to eat. Then she noticed there seemed to be some movement at the entrance.
Could there be a thief?
She didn't have a proper tool at hand. After looking around, she only saw the golden cudgel that Li Tong had bought to play with at home.
Although it was a toy, it felt quite solid when she weighed it!
Li Qiyu picked up the golden cudgel, crouched at the door, and was ready to give the person a fatal blow.
The person's footsteps were getting closer. They were very light, like someone was tiptoeing.
It must be a thief!
Li Qiyu swung the cudgel. She only heard a muffled groan, and the voice sounded familiar.
It was someone Li Qiyu never expected to see at home in the middle of the night.
"Song Yi'an?"
Why did he suddenly come back?
Seeing Song Yi'an covering his head, looking very painful, Li Qiyu quickly wanted to turn on the living - room light to check on him.
Song Yi'an also heard Li Qiyu's voice. Seeing that she was about to leave, regardless of the pain on his forehead, he grabbed Li Qiyu's wrist.
"Don't go."
"I'm going to turn on the light and help you apply some medicine!"
"Don't go. It doesn't hurt."
When Song Yi'an spoke, there was still a painful tremor in his voice, yet he still said it didn't hurt. Li Qiyu quickly said, "Don't hold it in. I didn't do it on purpose. I thought you were a thief."
She hadn't spared any strength in that swing.
But Song Yi'an seemed to be possessed. He just held onto Li Qiyu and refused to let go.
He said, "If you go, I'll hurt."
This guy... was his brain smashed by her?
However, Li Qiyu really couldn't stand someone acting pitiful and saying "I'm in pain" in front of her.
Li Qiyu, who was always carefree and used to protecting others, now had all her protective instincts awakened. She didn't leave and didn't turn on the light. Only the moonlight slanting in from outside illuminated the living room. The room was half - bright and half - dark. She couldn't even see Song Yi'an's face.
"I won't go. But you have to tell me how badly you're hurt," Li Qiyu said anxiously.
"Badly, very badly," Song Yi'an said pitifully.
These days, his heart had been like being fried in a pan, constantly in turmoil and always feeling uneasy. This situation didn't improve until he saw her at this moment.
If he really had an illness, its name would be Li Qiyu.
When Li Qiyu didn't answer his call and he couldn't get through to Sister Liu's phone either, he couldn't sit still in the capital for a moment. He quickly asked someone to buy the nearest flight ticket and flew back to City B. On the way here, he didn't even have time to take a sip of water. He just wanted to see her and ask what had made her unhappy.
There were a lot of things to deal with in the company. He had bought a flight ticket to fly back tomorrow morning. When he came back and saw that the light in the living room was off, he thought Li Qiyu had already gone to sleep. The thought of asking for an explanation was also suppressed.
Just seeing her would be good. It would be worth the price of the flight ticket just to see her once.
"Then... I'll go get the medicine for you."
"No need. I already have the medicine."
In the darkness, he accurately held Li Qiyu's small face. He no longer cared about not scaring her and restraining his desires. He lowered his head and kissed her lips.
If there was a medicine for his illness, it could only be Li Qiyu.
The golden cudgel in her hand clanged to the ground, hitting the marble in the living room and making a clear sound.
Li Qiyu was startled.
Not by the golden cudgel.
It was Song Yi'an who startled her.
