Chapter 178 - 121

Qin Deshu smiled upon hearing this and said, "What can I do to solve this? Since this has happened, let's hear what the police have to say first. Xiaoyu, please have a seat. The preliminary results will be out soon, and you can listen to them as well."

Li Ziyu knew that there was no way to resolve this matter peacefully, so she nodded, pulled up a chair, and sat down to the side.

"Little sister, believe me, I really don't know what happened."

Li Ziyu asked coldly, "Then why did you come to this banquet tonight? Didn't I tell you not to come?"

"I...."

"Alright, no need to explain anymore, let's wait for the results."

After saying that, Li Ziyu rubbed his temples. Although Li Ziyan was not in the core of the family, he was still the eldest son of the Li family.

He is the face of the Li family; wherever he goes, he represents the Li family.

Today's events are quite clear: either Li Ziyan was misled, or someone set a trap for him.

Li Ziyu thought about the current situation and felt that the possibility of a setup was greater.

A few minutes later, Zhao Tiande brought in the forensic doctor. He saw Li Ziyu but didn't say anything to her. He pointed to the forensic doctor beside him and said, "This is the most authoritative forensic doctor in our police station. Lin Tian's death is a bit complicated. Let him explain the details."

The forensic doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "Strictly speaking, Lin Tian has been dead for several days. His internal organs have long been damaged by external forces. However, this external force is strange; it did not erupt immediately but was suppressed for several days before it finally broke out."

A glint of light flashed in Qin Deshu's eyes: "You mean martial artists were involved in this?"

The forensic doctor nodded: "This is no ordinary martial artist. Judging from the time of Lin Tian's death and the handprint on his back, it has been at least five days. So I speculate that this was a sneak attack by a grandmaster-level martial artist. Strictly speaking, he should have died five days ago."

"Hiss..." The bigwigs present all gasped.

There are martial arts masters in Donghai, but they are all old monsters who would not easily make a move, let alone target a young man.

Suddenly, everyone felt that the matter had become increasingly perplexing.

Of course, no matter how strange it is, it must be related to the Li family.

Qin Deshu looked at Li Ziyu and said, "Xiaoyu, as far as I know, your Li family has several grandmasters currently in the East China Sea. Don't tell me this has nothing to do with your Li family."

Li Ziyu's expression remained unchanged as she spoke, "President Qin, please state your terms."

"Xiaoyu, my condition is very simple. Your Li family should not participate in this 4G pilot program. As long as you agree, I will pretend this never happened," Qin Deshu said with a smile.

"That's impossible!" Li Ziyu immediately exclaimed.

If the 4G communication technology pilot project is successful, it will sweep the world. Although the technology belongs to Su Zhenguo, he cannot monopolize it, otherwise he will be crushed to dust. Among the major families in Donghai, the Qin family is the most powerful, followed by the Li family.

If the Li family withdraws this time, then the East China Sea will become dominated by the Qin family.

"Hehe...then we'll have to have a serious discussion. I expect you to give me a reasonable explanation for the story behind this life." Qin Deshu instantly transformed from a stoic old man into a ferocious tiger, ready to devour anyone at any moment.

Li Ziyu wanted to explain, but in the end she realized that all explanations were in vain. She could only sigh and say, "President Qin, you can name any other conditions you like."

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Li Ziyu was uncertain again. Qin Deshu was such a cunning old fox, she didn't know what his next condition would be, and it might be another sore spot.

Finally, she glanced at Li Ziyan and said, "President Qin, I hope there's a limit to our negotiations. If your demands are too high, I'll have to consider giving up on my brother."

Qin Deshu: "...."

Are women these days so ruthless? They even give up on their own brothers without hesitation.

"You can make this decision?" Qin Deshu asked, somewhat surprised.

Li Ziyu nodded: "Now that I'm here, I can make all the decisions. We don't know the specifics of my brother's case yet, but at worst, we can send him to the court."

Qin Deshu paused for a moment, then said with an appreciative look, "Alright, then I'll make a simple request: I want a piece of land in Beihai, which is currently in the hands of Li Ziyan's partner."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Luo Sihai, who was completely invisible to the side.

Luo Sihai stiffened up; he hadn't expected that Qin Deshu would take a liking to his land.

Then his land must be something special.

Unfortunately, he never got to own that piece of land.

As expected, Li Ziyu merely glanced at him indifferently before nodding; "I can agree to this condition, and the transfer can be completed now."

Luo Sihai tried to argue, saying, "Miss Li, this matter has nothing to do with me, so why should I end up paying the bill?"

Li Ziyu glanced at him indifferently and said, "If you pay the bill, you're still Master Luo. If you don't... Sihai Group will be gone tomorrow."

"I....."

"Don't worry, the Li family will give you back every penny you paid for this land. This will also help you out of your predicament. Shouldn't you be happy?" Li Ziyu said calmly.

Happy?

What's there to be happy about?

How could Luo Sihai be happy? He felt like a fool being played for a fool by these big shots.

Qin Deshu stood up and said, "No need to give it to me, just give it to Su Zhenguo. You can discuss and resolve the rest. I'm tired today and need to rest, so I'll be leaving now."

After seeing Qin Deshu leave, Luo Sihai slumped onto the bench, muttering, "Why, why did this happen?"

Li Ziyu didn't even look at Luo Sihai, but instead said to Li Ziyan, "Tell me everything that happened between you and Su Lin, from the time you met until his death."

A hint of life appeared in Li Ziyan's eyes; "Xiaoyu, should we still investigate this matter?"

"Of course we need to investigate. This matter is not simple. A grandmaster-level expert suddenly appeared in Donghai City without any of our knowledge. Do you think we can ignore it?"

Li Ziyan felt a chill run down his spine. Yes, if this grandmaster-level expert wasn't found, who could live in peace?

Meanwhile, Su Lin was unaware of what was happening upstairs; he and Zhao Yanyan were cutting the cake with Qin Jiuyue.

It must be said that Qin Jiuyue portrayed excellent upbringing to the extreme, without a single flaw. Anyone who watched her would think she was a well-behaved girl. 787

Only Su Lin knew that beneath that well-behaved little face lay a wild heart.

"Su Lin, are we going back after we finish eating the cake?"

Su Lin nodded: "Yes, most of the adults have left. Let's go back in a bit. I'll take you home."

"Hmm~!! Should we go say hello to Qin Jiuyue?"

Su Lin shook his head: "Let's not. There are so many people surrounding her, and we don't even know her. Why would we greet her?"

"That's true!!"

The two left the hotel and returned to the car market. Zhao Yanyan sat in the passenger seat with her legs together. Her long skirt slipped down, exposing her fair legs to Su Lin.

Zhao Yanyan tried several times to pull her skirt up to cover herself, but it kept slipping down. Finally, seeing Su Lin's gaze, she could only awkwardly say, "The slit in this dress is a bit too big."

"If you can't cover it up, then don't. I'm not going to do anything to you. Why are you treating me like a wolf?"

Zhao Yanyan thought Su Lin was angry and quickly said, "Su Lin, I didn't mean that. It's just that the slit is too big. When I sit like this, my leggings are showing."

"Hmph! Those awful leggings, how come they exist in every world?" Su Lin pouted.

"Hehe~!! This is to prevent accidental exposure. What do you think? I wouldn't wear this kind of long skirt without leggings underneath."

"Yeah, without leggings, this outfit of yours would be so convenient."

"Go to hell! Just drive already, I want to go home."

Seeing Zhao Yanyan's angry expression, Su Lin found it quite adorable, so he leaned in, lifted her chin, and kissed her.

"Su Lin, you ambushed me again."

"Ring ring~!!"

"Su Lin, the phone's ringing! The phone's ringing."

Su Lin was a little annoyed; it was very unethical to be disturbed by a phone call at such a crucial time.

He picked up the phone somewhat impatiently: "Hello~!!"

"Su Lin, Su Lin, is your banquet over?"

Hearing Lin Xiaowan's voice, Su Lin immediately became more alert: "Xiaowan, why are you calling so late?"

"What's wrong? You sounded impatient just now. Is something the matter?" Lin Xiaowan asked with concern.

Su Lin looked at Zhao Yanyan, who was smiling beside him, and immediately said, "No... Xiao Wan isn't asleep yet?"

"Mmm, I haven't seen you all day, I miss you so much."

Hearing Lin Xiaowan's coquettish voice, Su Lin could picture Lin Xiaowan lying in bed right now.

He smiled and said, "I miss you too. Wait for me for a few days. I'll come back once I've finished dealing with things here."

"Hey! Didn't you say you'd come back after the banquet? Why aren't you coming back all of a sudden?" Lin Xiaowan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Su Lin smiled wryly, "It's all because of that third master of the Qin family. I exchanged treasures with him; I've already taken mine, and he has to come to my house to collect his."

"Is it that Yuan blue and white porcelain? You just traded it with him like that, what kind of treasure is it?" Lin Xiaowan asked curiously.

"I'll tell you when I get back. I'm driving now, Xiao Wan. Let's talk when we get back."

"Okay! Then drive carefully."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yanyan said, "Why didn't you tell Xiaowan about us?"

Su Lin shrugged and said, "You should be the one to say this. Do you think I'd be crazy to talk to Xiao Wan?"

"I won't tell you, but with Xiao Wan's intelligence, she'll definitely find out in a few days," Zhao Yanyan analyzed.
