Chapter 244 Is This Compensation?
"You've seen and heard everything in here, right? How is it? Is it particularly uncomfortable?"
His jaw clenched, trying to suppress the rage that was rising wildly. Li Yanxiu closed his eyes, then regained his composure when he opened them again. He looked at him with a cold, stern look in his eyes, and said with a pursed lip, "Howard, you'd better pray that what you say is true."
Li Yanxiu thought about everything that had happened before, including Jiang Ning's sudden change in attitude, her forcing him to get married, and her sudden move to someone else. It all seemed to make sense.
Li Yanxiu's chest felt like it was stuffed with cotton. This incident must have really happened.
She felt dirty and insecure.
Thinking of this, Li Yanxiu decided not to stay any longer and chose to leave.
In the Dingxiang Lake Villa, a woman wearing a scarf and holding a mobile phone was pacing back and forth. When the phone rang, her facial muscles immediately tensed up.
Finally the news came back.
Howard didn't say anything, which was exactly what she wanted. All her efforts were not in vain!
As long as his daughter is in her hands, he has to obey!
……
After Li Yanxiu left, a mysterious man met with Howard one after another.
After venting his anger, Howard calmed down and said, "I have already told Li Yanxiu what you said. You'd better let my daughter go now."
The latter smiled and said, "Don't worry, you should know that your case will be transferred to the procuratorate soon."
Howard clenched his fists. "What do you mean?"
"If you had been more sensible and died before the trial, your daughter might have had a chance to survive."
Howard was emotional, "Don't touch my daughter!"
Realizing his daughter's current situation, he became even more agitated. "I've already said everything you told me to do. Why didn't you let Xinran go? Don't go too far. Otherwise, I'll tell Li Yanxiu the whole truth!"
After threatening, Howard clasped his hands together and began to beg him again, "Please tell Jiang Ning, I beg her, my family is broken and my death is not a pity, but can you please let Xinran go and give her a chance to live? I beg you, I will agree to anything you ask me to do."
The mysterious man lowered his head and relayed Jiang Ning's message, "According to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, criminal liability cannot be pursued if the suspect or defendant is already dead. If criminal liability has already been pursued, the case should be dropped, or the prosecution should be dropped, the trial should be terminated, or the defendant should be declared not guilty."
Howard looked at him blankly, "What does she mean?"
The mysterious man said slowly, "As long as you voluntarily commit suicide before the trial, the matter between Miss Jiang and you will not be exposed, and Mr. Li will not pursue this scandal any further. If Miss Jiang is safe, your daughter will naturally be safe too."
"I promise I won't tell anyone. Once I'm sentenced, I'll have to stay here. I definitely won't ruin her good fortune."
"But Miss Jiang wants to get rid of your trouble as soon as possible."
After saying this, Howard felt like a deflated ball.
He saw clearly that if he didn't do as she asked, given her scheming and ruthlessness, even if he told Li Yanxiu the whole matter, she would definitely take action before Li Yanxiu.
The mysterious man sat quietly, waiting for his reply.
About a minute later, he resigned himself to his fate and said, "Xinran is my only daughter. She is my last and only bond in this world. The reason I cooperated with Jiang Ning to deceive Li Yanxiu was because my daughter is in her hands. Now she insists on my death to feel at ease. But if I really leave my daughter, I will be left alone. I can agree to what you want, but if she dares to break her promise, I will not let her go even if I become a ghost."
The mysterious man laughed, "Don't worry, Miss Jiang and your daughter have no deep hatred, and she is unwilling to waste her future life on an insignificant person. After you leave, she will give her some money to send her abroad."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Once she receives your news, she will release Huo Xinran."
"I hope you can keep your word."
"of course."
After saying the last two words, the mysterious man turned and left the detention center.
……
Lilac Lake.
Li Yanxiu's car had been parked outside the villa for a long time. Just as he was about to get out, he received a message from Lin Qian, "Don't work too hard, come home early."
Li Yanxiu picked up his phone and looked at it for a long time before replying, "Okay."
Then he got out of the car, but instead of getting in, he leaned against the car body and lit a cigarette.
The nicotine numbed my tense nerves and relaxed them a little.
He leaned against the car window and squinted his eyes to look at the faint light coming through the curtains in front of the villa window.
He took out cigarettes one by one from the cigarette box, and lit them with two fingers, and the light flickered.
Just as he made up his mind to walk into the yard, Zhou He called, "Is there any news over there?"
The news that Howard committed suicide in the detention center reached Li Yanxiu's ears.
Immediately, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
I fretted about reaching into the box for a cigarette, but couldn't find any.
He lowered his head and saw burnt cigarette butts at his feet.
Li Yanxiu closed his eyes, his face full of frost. He then made up his mind and walked towards the yard.
Jiang Ning was standing in front of the balcony on the second floor.
Watching him standing in front of the cars smoking one after another, she knew he would come, and he did come.
When I opened the door, Jiang Ning was walking down the stairs from the second floor.
The entire villa area is Li's property. He used to live here. Because Jiang Ning liked it, he gave her the villa next to his.
Because there were so many memories here, he moved to Dingshan Villa after they separated.
Their eyes met, and Jiang Ning quickly walked up to him, then went behind him as she did before, ready to help him take off his coat.
Li Yanxiu dodged sideways and took off his coat.
Jiang Ning's hand froze in mid-air and she withdrew it silently.
She smiled and invited him to sit on the sofa, poured him tea, and then sat opposite him.
After two seconds of silence, he spoke first, "How is your life now?"
"pretty good."
After just a second, she suddenly felt that her answer was too perfunctory.
She was afraid that he would notice what she was hiding.
She added, "I work in an architectural firm now and draw when I have nothing to do."
Then she burst into laughter and said, "I am determined to build the best architectural firm in the country with my partner."
Li Yanxiu pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
There was another awkward silence, and then he said, "If there's any project you'd like, please tell me."
Jiang Ning's smile froze.
Then his smile deepened, his eyes filled with desolation and despair, and he asked sarcastically, "Is this compensation?"
