"What?!" Loud screams echoed throughout the office.
Xiao Jingyao was startled by Duan Yarong's sudden shout, which made her take two steps back. If Zhao Shunrong had not hugged Duan Yarong at the right time, he had no doubt that this fellow might have rushed to him in the next second.
Zhao Youlin was also surprised. However, he was not as agitated as Duan Yarong. He was only surprised for a moment. Then, he immediately looked at Xiao Jingyao with a serious expression.
Xiao Jingyao looked into Zhao Youlin's eyes, and she felt a hint of inexplicable panic. She cleared her throat and said, "The General Manager's mother has been sick ever since she was injured by her husband's adultery. At first, he only needed to rest for some time, but Li had an improper thought at that time. He wanted to bribe the servants of the Zhao family who served the General Manager's mother and ask her to replace the medicine, which the general manager's mother had to take with a medicine that made the person taking it very susceptible to hallucinations. This will make the mental health of the General Manager's mother slowly deteriorate. Unfortunately, the servant he wanted to bribe was shy, and he did not dare to accept this task at all.”
Duan Yarong's expression was extremely dark. "If he fails to bribe the waiter, then why..."
"When Li found out that he couldn't bribe the maid, she was worried that the maid would tell Minister Zhao. So, he decides to stick to his original plan and hires a group of bandits to the Waiter's house, threatening him and his family. If he refuses to take on this task or divulge this matter, they will kill their family.”
"Smokey..." Duan Yarong could not help but gasp when she heard about this.
On the other hand, Zhao Youlin sneered and laughed. "He uses hard tactics when soft tactics fail.”
"The woman... How could she be so cruel?"Duan Yarong said, but she held onto Zhao Youlin's hand while feeling a little scared, "I feel scared when I remember that you stayed under the same roof as her for a long time. I really don't know how much you suffered back then.”
Seeing that Duan Yarong was about to cry as she spoke, Zhao Youlin hurriedly comforted her and said, "Alright, Mom, I'm fine now. It must be because my mother protected me in heaven, so don't be sad. My mother won't want to see you cry and become sick because she's in heaven.”
Zhao Youlin's comfort made Duan Yarong feel better. Zhao Youlin turned her head to look at Xiao Jingyao, and she continued the topic earlier. "So, in desperation, the maid agreed to Li Hongyu's request and changed my mother's medicine?”
Xiao Jingyao nodded solemnly. "After the General Manager's mother took the medication, her condition plummeted. In just half a month, she was so weak that she couldn't even get out of bed.”
Now that Xiao Jingyao mentioned this, Duan Yarong also remembered Mother Zhao Youlin's pale and frail appearance when she visited her at that time. "At that time, we all thought she was deeply hurt by her husband's adultery, so she couldn't heal for a while. I also said a lot of comforting words to make her feel happy, but I didn't expect .. didn't expect it to turn out..."
"I suspect that in addition to hallucinogenic drugs, the drugs that Li asked the waiter to change at that time should have been mixed with other things. Otherwise, the General Manager Mother will not die in less than two months no matter how bad her mental health.”
Their expressions instantly became more serious. Zhao Youlin was silent for a moment. Then, he asked in a low voice, "The servant..."
"We've sent someone to find the waiter. He was deeply sorry and traumatized for what happened back then. For many years, he had lived in guilt and sin, and it was difficult for him to forgive himself. After the incident, he and his family moved from Shalnork. When he knew the intention to find her, he unconditionally told us all the things that happened back then, and he hoped we would bring back a word to the general manager.”
"What is it?”
"I'm sorry.”
Even if the culprit wasn't him, and he was indeed forced, some things couldn't be forgotten once it was done. It was not something that could be forgiven just by an apology.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became a little strange. Even Duan Yarong, who was most emotionally out of control earlier, was calm at this moment. He looked at Zhao Youlin anxiously. "Youlininin..."
As soon as Zhao Youlin looked up, she met the worried gazes of several people. Even when he knew that they had misunderstood, he could not help but feel touched. He smiled and said, "I'm fine, but... Uncle Xiao, this matter has been going on for so many years, why did you suddenly think to investigate it?”
"I guess you can say that it was a coincidence, "Xiao Jingyao paused for a moment and said with a solemn expression," the bandits, whom Li hired to hunt down the General Manager this time around, said Li, coincidentally, it was the same group of people that Li had hired to threaten the maids. After a group of people were captured by the Su family, they realized that they had offended a strong person, so they acknowledged all the bad things Li Hongyu had asked them to do before. This is one of them. When I got the news, I asked people to follow these instructions to thoroughly investigate the incident that happened back then. I didn't expect to find so many things.”
Zhao Youlin fell silent again. He guessed that Li Hongyu did not expect to lose everything. He planned for a long time to kill Zhao Youlin, but his past was discovered by others through clues due to his momentary negligence.
"Su Family? Which Su Family?" After sighing for a while, Zhao Youlin seemed to have discovered something. He looked at Xiao Jingyao curiously.
"Su Family... Uhuk, uhuk. This is your Mother's Family. The current head of the Su family is Madam Mu.”'s oldest uncle
"I understand."After hearing Zhao Shunrong's explanation, Zhao Youlin nodded her head consciously. Then, his expression became stiff and said with a bitter smile, "Because it is the people of the Mu family, then... this matter.." 'known by Mu Tingfeng as well?’
"In this case, the incident of Li Hongyu hired assassins..."
"Information and all kinds of criminal evidence Sent by President Mu as well. We just passed them to the police.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. 'Well, should I sigh because someone's family is indeed amazing?’
"Youlin ... what are you going to do about this matter?" Duan Yarong glanced at Zhao Youlin and asked doubtfully.
"What else can I do? Since the evidence is conclusive, letting her receive legal sanctions is the best outcome." Otherwise, whoever killed him would just dirty their hands.
"But before he is punished, I want to see him.”
"Do you want to see it?" Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong exchanged glances. He said anxiously, "I'll accompany you.”
"no need. I can go by myself. Li Hongyu was now locked up. There were many people watching him, so he would not dare to do anything to me. Besides .... "he also had something to talk to her personally.
