The time goes back two hours to eight o'clock in the evening.
Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the entire Li family's residence is undergoing new decorations. Saying farewell to the old and welcoming the new is regarded as a very important time of the year for the Li family.
In addition, a lot of things have happened this year, and Wen Li has also come back. Li Langhua means to take care of things properly.
After all, this is Wen Li's first year in the Li family, so it must be lively no matter what.
This is also the Li family's first reunion year, so it will naturally take more time.
Rachel has been planning the New Year's Eve menu since the past two days.
The Li family's New Year's Eve dinner must take into account everyone's taste, and it must not be too shabby, but must be rich.
At 7:30 in the evening, after dinner, Li Langhua stayed in the living room watching TV, and occasionally looked up upstairs.
"What about the girl?"
Knowing that she was talking about Li Li, Rachel smiled and handed over the chrysanthemum tea.
"The second young lady is in the room. She seems to have something that she can't figure out. She hasn't come out yet."
Li Langhua held the cup, "This girl still has troubles? Don't think about causing trouble to anyone again."
"Don't always look at the second lady with your fixed thinking. At least the second lady has been well behaved during this period. She hasn't gotten into trouble for a long time."
Compared with the Li Li who had to stir up troubles from time to time and try to find ways to make things happen, she is now very well-behaved.
All these changes must be attributed to Wen Li. Ever since Miss Wen Li came back, it seems like someone can control this little devil of the Li family.
Li Li can be arrogant in front of others, but in front of Wen Li, he is very well-behaved.
"Has that girl from the Xi family not been here for a long time? Did they have a quarrel?"
This mention made Rachel react. The two little girls usually wanted to stick together.
It feels like Xi Moqian has rarely appeared in the Li family since Wen Li came back.
"Maybe there is something going on, Miss Xi's family is also quite busy."
"What can she do? It's just a child playing house." Li Langhua disagreed.
"I heard that our young lady and Miss Xi's comics are going to be published, so they must be very busy."
Li Langhua became even more unhappy when he mentioned this.
What she has always objected to the most is what kind of comics Li Li draws. It is a waste of time and has no benefit to her personal development.
It's a pity that the little girl always goes against her.
Li Langhua glanced at the dining table. There were fewer and fewer people eating at home these days. It was obviously quite lively some time ago.
Tonight, only Li Langhua and Li Li were left at the dinner table, and it was deserted.
However, Li Li still looked thoughtful and did not say a few words to Li Langhua during the whole meal.
After eating this meal, the old lady felt uncomfortable.
"Go up and take a look. What has she been thinking about these two days?" Li Langhua asked Rachel to go up and take a look.
"Goodbye. Maybe the second lady is thinking about her future at the moment. Why did I rush over so coldly?"
Li Li has been feeling groggy ever since Yun Xiao brought Li Li back from the amusement park.
In addition, Wen Li and Li Ruobing are not at home recently. Because the company is at the end of the year, Li Yuanzhi also stays in the company and often does not come back.
Everyone has their own things to be busy with, and no one will pay too much attention to Miss Brili.
But as the second young lady has grown up, it is normal for her to have some worries.
Only the bedside light was on in the entire room. Li Li sat on the edge of the bed and looked down at the messages that came in one after another on his phone.
Do you know that you have been living in a calculation
The dignified eldest daughter of the Li family lived a glamorous life and was loved by many, but she was tricked by the people closest to her.
Huang Ying's words kept echoing in Li Li's ears, like a curse.
She looked at the time and saw it was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
She wanted to know who was behind Huang Ying and why he wanted to plot against her and insist on destroying her.
After half a day, she jumped up from the bed, went to the drawer of the dressing table and dug out a few cards.
Grandma has never been stingy with her when it comes to spending money. She should be given a lot of supplementary cards, plus those from her second uncle and her sister.
The annual lucky money and birthday red envelopes add up to a lot. Li Li thinks that he is still very rich.
With all the cards in hand, Li Li quickly changed her clothes and went downstairs.
Li Langhua and Rachel looked at the people coming down from upstairs.
"Second Miss, it's so late, do you still want to go out?"
"My friend made an appointment with me." Li Li stood there a little embarrassed.
Li Langhua stared at her for a long time, and finally said, "It's very cold outside, so wear more clothes."
"I know grandma."
Her grandma would see through her lies since she was a child. I wonder if that will happen this time.
"Where are you going?"
"School!" Li Li said subconsciously.
Rachel was surprised, "Didn't Imperial University have been on vacation for a long time? Who are you going to see at school?"
"I made an appointment to meet them at school."
Li Langhua stared at the little girl in front of her. She could see through every time Li Li lied. This girl had no talent for lying.
But this sentence about going to Teito University is true.
"Let Uncle Zhong take you there."
"No need grandma, I can get there by myself."
The cup in Li Langhua's hand moved. "It's late at night. A girl always has to bring a bodyguard with her when she goes out. Have you forgotten what happened at the Royal Hotel last time?"
Li Li lowered her head. She was going to see Huang Ying. If she asked her family's driver and bodyguard to follow her, Huang Ying might not tell the truth.
"Yes, Miss Second, isn't what happened at the Royal Hotel scary enough?" Rachel advised from the side.
The target of those people last time was said to be Li Li, if it weren't for the fact that Mr. Xi was also at the Royal Hotel.
I'm afraid everything is unimaginable.
Up to now, people from the Li family are still investigating the origin of the other party. Only if they can come specifically to the Li family can the investigation of the origin of the other party be clear.
Before everything comes to a conclusion, Li Li had better not go out easily for the time being.
"Well, let them follow me."
Li Li could only relent in the end.
Indeed, grandma is right, she must take her own safety into consideration.
The possibility of Huang Ying breaking the jar cannot be ruled out, and the woman's words cannot be completely believed.
"come back earlier."
After saying goodbye to Li Langhua, Li Li got into the car.
Uncle Zhong looked in the rearview mirror and wondered what had happened to the two eldest ladies at home in the past two days. Why did they seem to be in a bad mood
The eldest lady is in a daze every time, which was never the case before.
The second young lady always talks to him noisily. Today, she has been silent since getting in the car. She lowered her head and looked at her mobile phone.
It's really strange.
Li Li replied and soon received news from Huang Ying.
"Come directly to Area B of the teaching building. Come here alone. Don't bring anyone else."
Li Li looked back at the car following behind, and finally replied, "Okay."
The car drove into Teito University and got off at Lili Square.
The bodyguards who followed her accompanied her down. Although it was winter vacation, it was impossible for an institution of higher learning like Teito University to be completely dark.
There will also be many students here who are staying in school, and some who are staying to prepare for postgraduate entrance examinations.
Therefore, although it is not as lively as usual during class, it cannot be said to be deserted.
"You guys wait for me here, I'll go to the teaching building in front." Li Li said.
The bodyguards looked at each other, then shook their heads, "The old lady has given instructions not to let you leave our sight."
"It's only fifty meters away from here to the teaching building. I can go there by myself. If you are worried, just surround the whole building."
Several bodyguards shook their heads and decisively refused.
"Not only can my grandma fire you, but I can too. As long as you don't tell me, we can still go back and you can still go to work normally. But if you don't listen to me and leave Teito University, what will happen to you?" The job will be lost.”
The bodyguards looked around and found out that before Li Li set out just now, their people had come to Imperial University to check on them.
Now the entire Imperial University situation is under their control, and there will never be another big attack like the Imperial Hotel.
The entire campus is very safe.
"We're waiting here for your return."
Li Li carried her bag to the teaching building. The entire teaching building was very large and divided into four areas ABCD.
Even during the winter vacation, the lights in many classrooms are on, and students can be seen sitting in the study room reading and studying.
Unlike the three areas of ACD, the entire area of B is darkened.
During school holidays, only the three areas ACD are open, and area B is not open, so the entire building is dark.
"Seventh floor."
The person over there responded to the message and made a call.
Li Li answered her phone, "How can I be sure that you will tell me the truth?"
Huang Ying leaned on the fence and looked at the night view of the entire school.
"My purpose is only money. Once I have the money, I will tell you whatever you want to know."
Li Li clutched the card tightly, "I hope you can keep your promise."
Huang Ying smiled. The girl who had always been a bright and beautiful girl now looked a little haggard. "I have applied to drop out of school. I will take my mother to live somewhere else. You will not see me again."
She and Li Li have been fighting for so long, but they are just their pawns.
She admitted that she really hated Li Li. She hated that she was from the Li family and could get whatever she wanted with strong backing.
No matter where he appears, Li Li will always be the center of attention, surrounded by stars.
She never needs to think about what her life will be like in the future, because the Li family will pave the way for her life.
She is always the master, always in the clouds, never falling.
No matter what he looks like, he will be pampered by others. Even if his embroidered pillow is a piece of straw and his abilities are completely useless, he can still inherit the position of the head of the Li family.
Li Li's life has surpassed too many people from the beginning.
But now, Huang Ying is tired. What she hates is Li Li, who is from the Li family. Thinking about it carefully, it is just an excuse.
She doesn't hate Li Li, but what makes her hate and jealous is her background.
Anyway, she was already jealous of Li Li to this point, and she would rather seek one last benefit for herself before leaving.
In Li Li's heart, Li Yuanzhi is as important as her father and has a pivotal position.
She knew that the person who had always wanted to destroy her was her uncle, and she couldn't bear it.
Thinking of this, Huang Ying showed a smile on her face.
"Li Li, this is the last gift I give you before I leave the imperial capital. It will definitely be something you will never forget."
After all, she had been fighting fiercely for so long, and even if she had to withdraw, she would never let Li Li go as he wished. He heard footsteps approaching behind him.
She turned back, the smile on her face retracted, and her eyes narrowed slightly in surprise.
"How could it be you?"
The man smiled and took a step towards her, "Are you scared?"
Li Li got off the elevator on the seventh floor and walked to the rooftop.
As soon as my toes stepped out of the stairwell, I heard a noise, a huge impact and the siren of a car being hit came from downstairs.
Following human instinct, Li Li looked around, took two steps forward, and just when he stuck his head out, he saw the downstairs.
Huang Ying's limbs were twisted in strange postures and fell on the roof of the white car.
She stared upward with her eyes wide open, her limbs hanging limply, and she refused to close her eyes.
"Ah!!" Li Li took a step back in fright.
But just as she took a step back, someone below also saw her face clearly.
"There's someone up there!!"
The sound of scattered footsteps came upstairs, and Li Li's face turned pale with fear.
Huang Ying fell!
But she didn't see anything. She was the only one on the entire top floor.
What to do now, what should she do.
By the way, call an ambulance.
With this thought, Li Li took out her cell phone and wanted to dial the emergency number of the hospital.
"over there!"
Two or three students who quickly caught up from the study room below saw Li Li lying on the ground at a glance.
"It's you!"
Some classmates recognized Li Li.
There are probably few students in the entire Imperial University who don't know Li Li, and naturally they also know about her past with Huang Ying.
"It's not me!" Li Li waved his hand and stepped back.
Her face was pale and she didn't know what to do now.
"Has anyone below called the police? Hurry, this is the biggest suspect!"
"She must have pushed Huang Ying down! This was intentional murder!"
Li Li came back to her senses and waved her hands hastily, "It wasn't me! I didn't, she fell down just after I came here!"
"It's not you? It's just you and her on the entire rooftop. You can't say that Huang Ying committed suicide by herself, right?"
"Call the police!"
"Hurry up and call the police. She is the one who killed Huang Ying. Let the police come and arrest her!"
Li Li shook his head wildly and denied, "It's not me, it's really not me."
She didn't even see Huang Ying's face, so why did Huang Ying fall
And she became the biggest suspect.
How is this possible
"Hold her! Don't let her get away."
The classmate who was taking out his cell phone to call the police spoke.
A female classmate wearing a white down jacket knelt down and pressed Li Li, whispered into her ear and said, "Run quickly, you are the biggest suspect now, and with the holiday between you and Huang Ying, basically you can I’ve concluded that you were the one who killed Huang Ying.”
"Escape quickly and go back to Li's house to find someone. Anyway, you can't be caught by the police at the crime scene."
The female classmate's words woke up Li Li like a slap.
She is indeed the biggest suspect. The call records kept in her mobile phone are all calls from Huang Ying.
Huang Ying's last phone call before her death.
She was here when Huang Ying fell from the building, she was the only one here.
Basically, he can be convicted.
Thinking of this, she quickly stood up and rushed to the stairs desperately.
The male classmate who reacted wanted to come over and catch her, but was accidentally tripped by someone on the ground.
"Liu Xiangxiang, didn't I ask you to hold her down?" The male student rubbed his knees and sat up.
"She was too strong, I really couldn't catch her!"
The male classmate was speechless and hurriedly chased after him, but he was still a step too slow and watched helplessly as the elevator descended.
"What should we do now?"
"A monk who can escape cannot escape from the temple. The police will deal with her. Let's go down first to check on Huang Ying's condition."
If you fall from such a high floor, you will definitely not survive.
Although the entire teaching building only has seven floors, the height of each floor is higher than that of ordinary residential buildings, and the height of the whole building is not low.
Li Li ran wildly on campus. The bodyguards and driver waiting nearby also heard the commotion in front and were standing by the car to check the situation.
"Go quickly!!"
Li Li stepped into the car in two steps and sat on the back seat.
"Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Zhong started the car and drove away from the school.
Li Li lowered her head. She was so upset now that she didn't know what to do.
"Second Miss?"
Without a response from Li Li, Uncle Zhong could only drive the car towards Li's house.
She looked through her phone and subconsciously deleted all the text messages and call records Huang Ying had sent her.
Two police cars with sirens blaring passed by them and headed to the scene at a fast speed.
The sound of the police siren seemed to pierce her heart so hard that she even had the image of herself being taken away in her mind.
Li Li shook his head, "No, I can't go home!"
So many people saw her on the rooftop. The police must have gone back to Li's house to arrest her. She didn't want to go into the police station.
"Go to the company and find my second uncle!"
Seeing her like this, Uncle Zhong could probably guess that something happened behind her.
"I don't want to go into the police station, don't..."
No matter how much she said that she didn't push Huang Ying down, no one would believe her.
Only her second uncle can help her.
She couldn't go to jail, but no one would believe her. All the classmates present insisted that she pushed Huang Ying down.
What to do now
Li's Building is the busiest time around the New Year's Eve. It's already nine o'clock in the evening, but the whole building is still brightly lit.
There is an endless stream of people working overtime. In a place like the Imperial Capital, if you want to gain a foothold, you can only work harder than ordinary people.
Especially people from ordinary families need to spend more time and energy.
Before the car was safe, Li Li rushed out, carrying a small bag and got directly into the president's exclusive elevator.
Seeing this, Uncle Zhong took out his mobile phone and called Rachel.
The second young lady's condition seems to be very bad, it must be related to the incident at school.
You have to tell the old lady in advance so that she can be mentally prepared.
The assistant was waiting at the door to sort out the documents that needed to be signed by the president. Just as he was about to pick them up, he saw a little girl wearing a plush coat rushing into the president's office.
Just as he was about to catch up, he was stopped by the secretary next to him.
"The only one who dares to rush in so directly is the second young lady."
Li Ruobing always followed the rules every time he came over, but Li Li never knocked on the door.
All the rules in Li's office building are invalid only for this little princess.
That was the treasure that the Li family held in their hands. Naturally, no matter what the rules were, they were of no use to her.
"Second uncle!"
Li Yuanzhi looked up and saw the little girl bursting into the office crying.
"Second uncle, please help me. I don't want to go to jail or go to the police station. Second uncle..." Li Li threw himself in front of Li Yuanzhi.
At this moment, the person was already crying out of frustration, with tears streaming down her face.
"I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't!"
"She had already fallen when I got to the top floor. It wasn't me..."
Her voice was filled with panic. Even when Beishan was recovered and faced with life and death, she did not cry like this.
Li Yuanzhi threw down the pen and grabbed her shoulders with both hands, patiently calming the little girl's emotions.
"Lili, calm down and speak slowly, little by little. My second uncle is here, why are you crying?"
Li Li sobbed and tried her best to steady her emotions, and slowly explained to Li Yuanzhi.
In short, to put it more carefully, she is now a murder suspect.
During the journey from Imperial University to Li's house, I'm afraid the police have already gone to Li's house.
Li Li was seen at the scene, and he was the biggest suspect. Coupled with the feud between her and Huang Ying, it was basically certain that Li Li was the murderer.
There was no way the police could let such a big suspect go.
"Second uncle, you have to help me. I don't want to go to jail. I didn't kill anyone."
Li Yuanzhi lowered his head and thought for a while, "You and I will go back to Li's house first. The top priority now is to face the police investigation. You are just a suspect now. If you run away like this, you will directly become a wanted criminal."
"But I didn't kill anyone."
"You have to have the police believe what you say, and there is a saying called absconding in fear of crime. If you just leave like this, you will become guilty if you are not guilty."
Moreover, given the special nature of Li Li's identity, it is estimated that the news forum will broadcast this matter overnight.
Now that the matter has come to this point, all we can do is take advantage of it.
Li Yuanzhi stood up from the side, took the coat hanging on the shelf, put it on his hand, and stretched out his hand to Li Li.
"Second uncle will take you home."
"I don't... I'm afraid..." Li Li shook his head and refused.
Looking at the little girl curled up on the sofa, Li Yuanzhi squatted down and kept eye level with her.
"You trust my second uncle, he won't let anything happen to you. Besides, there is no direct evidence to prove that you killed Huang Ying, and it is impossible for the police to arrest you directly." His tone was patient and coaxing.
But if the real reason why Huang Ying fell from the building cannot be found, Li Li will have to face not only the police, but also more pressure from online public opinion.
"Let's go."
Li Li looked at Li Yuanzhi for a while, then finally got up and asked him to go to Li's house.
She believed that her second uncle would never let anything happen to her. Ever since she was a child, her second uncle had always been the most protective of her.
