Chapter 1200: No Need for the Song Family’s Door in the Future
He Wei was momentarily unable to react.
Twenty or thirty meters away, well within the handgun’s range.
The man wasn’t from a entrepreneurial background; he came out of a formal army and his marksmanship could be described as extremely accurate, fully capable of killing someone with one shot.
But would he really kill this member of the Li Family?
No matter how you spin it, they were the wife’s relatives.
The Li Family didn’t protect the wife well, and the man would inevitably hold them accountable, but the two families were in-laws after all.
The man was in a fit of anger and had acted against the wife’s cousin. If the wife brought it up later, what if she blamed the man?
It might affect their marital relationship.
He Wei clenched his fists, cold sweat seeping from his back, wanting to stop him but fearing doing more harm than good.
Li Ruan walked forward, already prepared to withstand Song Baiyan’s anger.
Allowing Tang Li to wander into Nanwa was the fault of the Li Family.
Before Tang Li went to Chiang Mai Prefecture, Song Baiyan had contacted the old man.
If not for the old man’s repeated assurances, how could Song Baiyan have let go so easily?
The promise of that day has now turned into empty words.
So, facing the dark gun barrel, Li Ruan didn’t flinch, even if he knew that bullet might take his life.
The descendants of the Li Family are not cowards.
Since the Li Family committed a grave mistake, its descendants should bear the consequences.
Li Ruan closed his eyes, waiting for Song Baiyan to shoot.
However—
Moments passed, and the gunshot did not appear.
Song Baiyan’s deep and slightly cool voice echoed across the lawn, carrying undeniable pressure: "The Li Family is useless, and light of promise and integrity; its members, in the future, need not step into the Song Family’s doors again."
Li Ruan opened his eyes—
The man was no longer visible on the lawn.
He Wei held the handgun; the grip still retained the warmth of Song Baiyan’s palm.
He had no doubt that the man had truly intended to shoot for a moment.
As for why he held back.
——Ultimately, it was because of the wife.
At Tan Palace, the man wouldn’t overly embarrass the Li Family; he must be considerate of the wife hence the restraint.
If the Li Family were shamed here, it would be like openly slapping the wife’s face.
If the domestic staff saw this, it might cause them to disrespect the wife.
Since ancient times, a married woman and her family are one.
He understood these principles, and surely the man understood them too?
Afraid the man had other instructions, He Wei sent off the wife’s cousin, and directly went to the President’s Office.
As he reached the door, he saw Guo Li just coming out from inside.
Guo Li only revealed to him one sentence: "His Excellency wants to talk to Commander Jiang in the Southwest War Zone; I have to arrange it immediately."
Southwest War Zone...
That commands and directs the armed forces of the six southern provinces.
Even for the arrest of Isa and others, there isn’t a need for military involvement.
Zuo Yuliang suing Golden Triangle Drug Lord in S country’s court for his son, caused complaints among the Senate and House of Representatives.
Some who have always been at odds with the Zuo Family said straight that they were abusing public resources for private use, demanding the court reject Zuo Family’s petition.
After learning this, regardless of his elderly body, Zuo Yuliang brought his family to Parliament Building yesterday, and exchanged verbal blows with that Councilman during the meeting, which finally turned into a brawl.
The scene of Zuo Yuliang being carried into an ambulance became the headline of the Capital Morning News.
Also, because of the uproar caused by the Zuo Family, online demands for Burma to hand over ’Isa’ have been brewing again.
The Burmese ambassador to S country just met with Minister Liu this afternoon and has solemnly stated—Burma’s government is resolute in cracking down on drug crimes and will not let any drug trafficker off.
So, capturing Isa is only a matter of time.
But now...
Thinking of the man’s occasional weariness over the past two days, He Wei didn’t knock on the office door; he already guessed why the man suddenly initiated a video call with the war zone’s highest command.
——The man probably didn’t want to wait any longer.
...
Jin Lihua’s intention to send the child to school was not a spur-of-the-moment idea.
On the third day, Jin Lihua sent over a backpack and a set of stationery supplies.
Song Jingtian’s time spent in the small building also became less and less.
Although Jin Lihua hadn’t explicitly stated it, Tang Li noticed that she didn’t want Song Jingtian to be glued to her all day, Jin Lihua was subtly influencing the little guy to get used to life without her presence.
If not for the little guy’s persistence, Jin Lihua would have long moved her grandson out of the small building.
This day, when Song Jingtian was called by Jin Lihua, Tang Li didn’t stay either.
Jin Lihua wanted to treat her coldly, so she didn’t intend to approach deliberately.
Regarding the account books, if she acted too eager, it would only arouse Jin Lihua’s suspicion.
In the end, it might backfire.
Tang Li didn’t walk too far; she just strolled around the small building, picking a few dragon boat flowers, planning to let Song Jingtian give them to Jin Lihua in the evening. If Jin Lihua was pleased, the little guy could get some extra food, saving her from a diet of cabbage stalks and corn buns every meal.
At noon, Song Jingtian brought back a piece of news.
Qin Wenwa had a subordinate who suffered a gunshot wound and hasn’t healed for a long time, now it’s infected.
"It might be tetanus."
The little guy and Tang Li each gnawed on a corn cob, chatting as they ate: "The camp is short on serum, it seems like they need to borrow from hospitals outside, and even seal the room completely, not letting any light in."
Gunshot wound.
The first thought that came to Tang Li was Xue Ya, wounded by Yuan Qin.
"How did you know?" she asked the little guy.
"Of course, when the subordinates came to report, I was nearby."
Song Jingtian spoke, pressing his small lips together lightly.
His infiltration work wasn’t in vain; now Qin Wenwa trusted him more and more; this morning, he even joined her in the study, practicing two large characters inside.
Given time, how could great affairs not succeed?
Two days later, Tang Li learned it was indeed Xue Ya infected with tetanus.
It was Jin Lihua who called her to Xue Ya’s residence.
Tang Li stood at the slightly open door, following Jin Lihua’s gaze, also saw the scene inside the room—
Military doctors injecting serum into the bed-ridden Xue Ya, and two others holding down Xue Ya’s limbs, the symptoms of tetanus clearly manifest in Xue Ya.
"Xue Ya handled things for me, regardless of anything, I will save him."
Jin Lihua slowly spoke: "But whether he survives, depends on his own fate."
Tang Li responded: "If it were in S country, this situation would never have happened."
Implying this wasn’t such a great kindness.
Precisely because of following her, it led to such an outcome.
Jin Lihua turned her head to look at Tang Li, not angered by her sharp tongue but changed the subject: "Yesterday afternoon, Burmese officials arrived at Bangkang, demanding Yan Yingcheng hand over Isa, along with two hostages."
Tang Li couldn’t help but look at her upon hearing this.
Jin Lihua smirked, unhurriedly: "I simply told them the truth; Second Zuo was killed by Li Hao, unrelated to the Golden Triangle; as for the hostages, it’s impossible to mention; they wanted a drug trafficker, I have already prepared to hand him over."
"If they still persist after this, I do have a witness detained here."
Tang Li and Jin Lihua exchanged glances, thinking of one name.
——Li Yin.
