In the early autumn wind, her voice was cold and clear.
Gu Lin turned pale. “What are you saying? I don’t get it. A life for a life? The death of those two children is not my business at all! Ye Xingling, don’t malign me!”
Xia Ling sneered lightly and did not say anything. Now that she had decided to call the police, she would let the police punish her and did not have to waste any more of her effort. Instead, she turned around and said to Li Lei, “You don’t have to help me with this, but don’t hinder me either. Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my back on you.”
After saying that, she shoved the ice cream backed into his hands and walked away.
After a few steps, Li Lei caught up with her and shoved the ice cream back into her hands. “What is with your temper?” In the slight breeze, the handsome man lowered his head and looked at the girl in front of him with an amused and helpless expression. “You’re just going to leave like that? Can you give me some dignity?”
She hesitated for a few seconds. “Why should I give you any dignity?”
Li Lei was even more amused. “You’re my woman. Why would I not help you?”
Xia Ling rebuked. “I’m not your woman.”
Li Lei said, “Since I helped you, you are my woman.”
Xia Ling said, “You haven’t helped me.”
Li Lei said, “Let’s go. I will accompany you to the police now.” She didn’t know how troublesome this case was. How was it so simply solved with a police report? This case was already determined to be an accident. Now that it was going to be reopened, many people would be affected and there would be internal complications.
Furthermore, there would be pressure from his family.
He recalled Gu Lin’s pale expression and did not doubt how horribly the Gu Family would treat Xiao Ling.
Only then did Xia Ling seriously look at him. “Are you really helping me? The relationship between your family and the Gu Family is so strong. If you help me with this, the strong relationship you’ve had with the Gu Family will probably be ruined.”
Li Lei did not answer. He only resolutely held her hand and walked forward.
So what if the relationship between the Gu Family and the Li Family was ruined? In life, you would have to give up something to get other things done. It was the Gu Family which crossed his beloved woman’s bottom line. Thus, they violated his bottom line too. In this situation, he already gave the Gu Family a chance and did not bring up this situation that year. However, the more he backed off, the more Gu Lin went overboard.
He already warned the Gu Family many times.
However, this time, since Xiao Ling was unwilling to tolerate it, there was no need to tolerate it any longer.
In his world, Xiao Ling was the most important. There were a few times he almost lost her. In the future, he did not dare to take such a huge risk anymore. He spent four years driving Li Feng out of the core of Li Family and did his best to stand beside his Old Master as an equal. He did everything so he could protect Xiao Ling.
If he did not stay by her side at this crucial moment, what was the point of everything he did?
He held her hand tighter with more determination.
Xia Ling felt the heat from his palms and was slightly moved. This man seemed to be different from the past. He stopped prioritizing his family and placed her in a more important position. Or was he always like this? Was she not aware of it before?
She was deep in thought.
They walked side by side and reached the road junction. Xia Ling went left while Li Lei went right.
Startled, Xia Ling said, “Left is the direction of where we’re staying. Let’s go back to pack and wait for Shaohui to come back for the night. Tomorrow morning, we will return to the city and make a report at the City S Police Station.”
Li Lei said, “You said in Gu Lin’s face that you were going to make a police report, so Gu Lin will definitely tell the Gu Family immediately. Once the Gu Family interferes by destroying evidence or bribing the police, things will change. Xiao Ling, I just called the helicopter. We are going to the apron and return directly to the City S to make a police report.”
Xia Ling did not think that he would be so thoughtful and nodded. She also asked, “What about Shaohui?”
Li Lei said, “I’ve already asked Du Yunfeng and Du Zheng to take care of him well. They’re very reliable, so don’t worry.”
Although Xia Ling had certain conflicts with Du Yunfeng in the past, she understood that Du Yunfeng was Li Lei’s lifelong friend and worthy of her trust. After hearing that Shaohui had them to look after him, she was completely relieved and followed him in the direction of the apron.
Luckily, he was there.
He made sure that proper arrangements were in place.
Although she had tens of billions in net worth and was a queen that thousands of people looked up to, she lacked his depth of thought even when she had the courage to do something. After all, she was just a young woman, and his position could never be replaced no matter how high she reached in her career.
She looked sideways at him and saw that he was currently talking to the helicopter staff. He had a knife scar on his handsome face and looked quite cool when he smiled. However, his smile was very reassuring and it calmed her down.
“Sister, sister, look for a father for me.” Naturally, she recalled Shaohui’s plea.
She was a little distracted when she got on the helicopter with him. They reached the City S in a short time and went to the police station from for four years ago to make a police report. The police officer knew that they were of an honorable status so he politely asked them to sit down and made a detailed transcript of the problems they conveyed. He then promised to investigate immediately.
Before they left, Li Lei went to see the police superintendent and the two spoke for a while separately. After that, the superintendent personally sent them out with a smile.
It was already late at night and the street looked bleak.
Xia Ling did not wear many clothes when she left, so she was shivering a little from the cold.
Li Lei took off his jacket and placed it on her shoulders, gently asking, “Are you cold?”
She shook her head. Her heart was still filled with what happened at the police station. Although they promised to reinvestigate this case, she was not very confident that she could bring Gu Lin to justice.
She recalled that year when she thought Shaohui had died. She also went to the police station to make a police report and asked them to bring the “murderer” Xia Yu to justice. However, until now, the police never found any proof about Xia Yu and Xia Yu got away scot-free.
She heard that Xia Yu was overseas and living quite well.
Xia Ling was very worried. What if Gu Lin got away scot-free as well? How could she face the dead children then?
She knitted her brows and looked worried.
Li Lei knew what she was thinking and whispered, “Don’t worry. I will not let her off easily.” At this time, his phone rang.
Li Lei answered it. “Hello, Uncle Gu?”
Xia Ling titled her head. Uncle Gu? Could it be that Gu Lin’s father called him?
She became alert and listened more closely.
Looking at her nervous expression, he simply stood still and took her into his arms. “Yes… this happened.” His voice was low and pleasing to the ear. He placed one hand on her body to appease her and continued to talk. “It was Linlin who provoked Xiao Ling first and slipped her tongue. Since Xiao Ling wants to pursue it, I don’t have any reason not to help her out.”
