Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Du Jiayi, who was listening behind the door, heard the sound of something being kicked. Her shoulders twitched as she pounced on her bed, looking like she was escaping. Her heart was beating wildly, and she couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Then, Du Jiayi got off the bed gently and tiptoed to the door. She turned the lock bit by bit and slowly opened the door a crack.

What happened to her uncle that made her father so angry?

She had never seen her father lose his temper at Mom. Today, he suddenly exploded because of her uncle… Du Jiayi bit her lower lip lightly and pressed her ear against the slightly open door.

However, Madam Li wasn’t afraid at all. She even bent down to pick up the vase and the fallen flowers. Then, she placed the flowers that she had plucked this morning back into the vase one by one. “Are you done venting your anger? If you have anything to say, say it. Don’t do this in front of me.

“You know me. When I was young, I didn’t fall for your tricks. Now, I’m in my 60s and my grandson is already a few years old. Do you think I’ll fall for your tricks?

“Since Xia Xinhui stood up for you, that’s the end of the matter. Since it’s the end of the matter, why are you throwing a tantrum?

“I was anxious when you didn’t come back. Just now, I was planning to ask Jiayi to probe Aunt Xiao. Now that you’ve returned and you’re fine and your position hasn’t been stripped, is it still necessary for you to flare up at me?

“What good things have I done? Old Du, I’ve done many good things for decades. Now that you’re asking me to tell you everything, I’m afraid I can’t remember everything.

“Why don’t you ask the guards to come in or ask the confidantes beside you to come over and jot down notes, then?”

Her actions were elegant. It was as if no matter how big the matter was, it had nothing to do with her. There was no need to panic about unimportant things. She could live her life calmly.

Madam Li had already been impressive when she was young. Now, she was in her 60s. The arrogance she had when she was young had already settled in her bones. She was usually calm and easy to talk to, but when she was ruthless, she could deal with a 20-year-old girl like Sun Ying as easily as stepping on other people’s clothes.

Even though she was old now, it didn’t mean that her personality had changed. It was just that her temper was more controlled and her methods were more mature. Normal people wouldn’t be able to figure her out.

Even Staff Officer Du felt resigned when he saw this.

Although he was resigned, the anger in his heart did not subside at all. He sat back on the sofa angrily and said something that made Madam Li purse her lips.

“All of Li Chuhai’s assets, including all liquid assets and bank deposits, have been frozen.”

Then, he said something that made Madam Li clench her fists. “He participated in a murder and is the main person involved. At the same time, he has been operating in the foreign underground market for the past 20 years. The law of the country can’t tolerate what he’s done.

“You know what his identity is. Doing something illegal overseas is equivalent to betraying your country. Li Chenglan, you really have to thank Xia Xinhui for letting me come back today!

“He was the one who stood up and said that he didn’t believe that I would participate in these things that have harmed the country! I’m really grateful to him today. If not, if not…”

Otherwise, he would’ve been miserable!

He was suddenly called to the conference room at four in the afternoon yesterday. He was continuously interrogated until six in the morning. He didn’t even have a sip of water for the entire night. Today, when they said that he could go home temporarily, he actually felt like he had escaped death. He was a staff officer!
