The subsequent events were straightforward.
Under Qi Yuqiangâs arrangements, all three bodies were removed in less than half an hour.
Li Yidao didnât need to concern himself with where they would be taken or how they would be handled.
Qi Yuqiang would handle this matter adequately. After all, in this world, Unit 36 held a certain level of authority.
Such small affairs werenât worth mentioning.
The reason Li Yidao didnât report to the police or contact Li Hui and others was simple.
He didnât want to create trouble.
Even if he had sought Li Huiâs help, he wouldnât have faced any issues.
The other party had plotted against Li Yidao first, and all of Li Yidaoâs actions could be considered self-defense.
Another point was that Li Yidao hadnât even come into direct contact with the assailants.
The storeâs CCTV could confirm this.
The attackers had died of heart attacks due to their own nervousness during the attacks.
This had nothing to do with Li Yidao.
As for the person across the street, they were completely unrelated to Li Yidao. When their body was eventually discovered, that would become a separate case.
Everything was quite easy.
When Li Yidao returned to his bedroom, it was already 2 AM.
He looked at the damaged bed and bedding and did a simple cleanup.
He replaced the bedding and then went to sleep, feeling drowsy.
Tonight, he didnât have to worry about any danger.
Qi Yuqiang had arranged for people to be outside, whether for surveillance or protection.
In any case, Li Yidao was safe.
The vertical sunlight was exceptionally bright.
Li Yidao, who had just opened his eyes, checked his phone.
Hmm⦠It was already past nine oâclock.
He had more than an hour until the agreed time with Wei Wenqiang.
He had enough time for morning preparations and breakfast. At half past ten, a business car pulled up in front of the store.
Wei Wenqiang got out of the car, looking tired.
It seemed he hadnât rested well last night.
After all, he was an elderly man. Without proper rest, his mental and physical state would certainly be affected.
âMr. Li, shall we go now? Weâve already made an appointment over there,â Wei Wenqiang asked with a smile despite his fatigue.
Li Yidao nodded slightly. âYes, letâs go. We aim to clarify the situation today.â
As they spoke, they left the store, closed the door, and got into the business car.
As the vehicle started moving, Li Yidao asked casually, âAre the amulets I gave you for you and your grandson still with you?â
When it came to the amulets, Wei Wenqiang fell silent for a moment. Then, he looked at Li Yidao with an expression of disbelief. âIs it really her?â
Li Yidao smiled faintly and replied, âYou already figured out the answer?â
Getting an answer he wasnât particularly eager to hear, Wei Wenqiang sighed and looked out of the window.
He muttered to himself, âLing has been with our Wei family for five years now. At that time, Hanâs mother passed away in an accident, and I fell into depression. Fortunately, he met Ling, and she helped my son recover, and heâs very fond of Han. Thatâs how I decided to let her into our family, but I never thought⦠sighâ¦
Wei Wenqiang shook his head at this point.
Since he had some doubts, he must have conducted a thorough investigation in the shortest time.
The womanâs identity behind all this was probably no longer hidden.
After all, for a wealthy family like theirs, it wasnât that difficult to investigate certain matters.
Wei Wenqiang continued to talk to himself, and Li Yidao didnât interrupt.
Instead, he took out his phone and started browsing.
The candles Li Yidao had been selling during his live stream had already been received by some people, and some had started using them.
He was now looking at the reactions of these people after using the candles.
With one prominent online influencer leading the way, there was now a dedicated discussion about this matter!
âD*mn! I used the candle as soon as I received it and wished for a lottery win!
Brothers, guess what happened?â âWhat happened? Did you win five million?â
âI only won five bucks! Sob, sob.â
âHaha, canât stop laughing! But, buddy, your wish did come true, after all. You wished to win the lottery, not specifically five million!â
âHehe⦠Iâm more straightforward. I wished to find a girlfriend, and I succeeded in my blind date today. Bros, wish me luck! Brother Dao is awesome!â
âBrother Dao is truly a god! This candle really works! I saw my grandfather!
Thanks, Brother Dao!â
âWhat? Whatâs the person above trying to say? Why do I feel a bit chilly?â
âThanks, Brother Dao, I also saw my grandmother. She told me sheâs doing well down there. Thanks, Brother Dao!â
âSh*t! Why is everyone who I borrowed money from coming to collect today? Stupid candle! Spit!â
âI just spent a hundred thousand buying one from an online friend, hoping itâll help me win five million!â
Haha, I only spent thirty thousand to get one!â
âI spent five thousand here!â
âI spent seventy thousand! â
For a moment, the forum was filled with people claiming they had bought tens of thousands of candles from others. Everyone was baffled!
Particularly, those who had spent a significant amount to buy the candles were the most bewildered.
Whatâs going on? How could so many people have actually acquired genuine candles?
Li Yidao saw this scene and couldnât help but be speechless.
In reality, the 1,000 candles he had made only cost him ten years of lifespan.
Naturally, it wouldnât have a significant effect.
However, making a wish or seeing deceased loved ones in a dream was completely feasible.
These were the original intended purposes of the candles.
As for those who hoped to instantly win five million, they should continue dreaming.
After browsing for a while, Li Yidao lost interest and closed his phone, opting to relax and rest.
Wei Wenqiang stopped speaking at this point.
He lowered his head, deep in thought, likely contemplating how to deal with the aftermath of this situation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After all, the other party was attempting to cut the roots of the Wei family.
The reason for such a claim was due to the fact that Wei Wenqiangâs daughter-in-law couldnât conceive due to her health.
It was for this reason that Wei Wenqiang agreed to her marriage with his son in the first place.
After all, if she couldnât bear children, there wouldnât be any disputes over the familyâs succession.
However, he never anticipated that the other party could be so malicious, to
the extent that he was now considering whether the womanâs approach to getting close to his son was part of a premeditated plan for their family.
It made him wonder if his first daughter-in-lawâs sudden tragedy was also her doing.
This possibility was very high.
After about half an hour of traveling, the luxury car arrived at an upscale residential complex.
The entire area was filled with townhouses and villas.
It may not have been the most luxurious district in Jiang City, but it was definitely opulent.
Soon, after the driver communicated with the security guard, the car was parked in front of a specific villa.
The group disembarked, and a middle-aged man opened the door and welcomed Wei Wenqiang.
âMr. Wei, I presume? Welcome,â he said, smiling.
But beneath his friendly appearance, there was a hint of weariness.
Wei Wenqiang returned the smile.
At this moment, even if he had many unpleasant emotions inside, he couldnât afford to let them show.
He needed to resolve the issue concerning the inkstone as soon as possible.
He couldnât afford to have a dispute now.
If he didnât maintain a friendly demeanor, how would he ever get the other party to share the truth?
In addition, Wei Wenqiang couldnât allow his emotions to disrupt his appearance.
He couldnât possibly show irritation or unhappiness while dealing with someone over the inkstone problem.
However, walking at Wei Wenqiangâs side, Li Yidaoâs expression was noticeably somber.
He seemed to be thinking that this middle-aged man was in serious trouble..
