128: The richest man's son?
"Hello."
"Is this Mr. Chen Li? This is the County Public Security Bureau. Are you currently at home?"
A Police Officer's steady voice came from the other end of the phone. Clearly, he had learned of their safety either from his parents or another source.
"Yes, we are home."
"It's good that you're safe. If it's convenient, please come to the Bureau today to give a detailed statement.
Also, your Audi is here with us, and you can drive it back when you come."
"Okay, we'll head over after we finish breakfast."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Li gently patted Liu Nansheng's back, signaling her to wake up for breakfast.
He knew that since the police were involved in this matter, cooperation was mandatory.
However, he wouldn't mention the matter concerning Scarface and his group—since the issue was resolved, there was no need to stir up new trouble.
He would stick to the same story he told his parents: that the culprits realized they had the wrong people.
"If the police manage to find out on their own, that's none of my business,"
Chen Li thought, "But if that guy dares to provoke me again..."
He shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it.
After Liu Nansheng finished the noodles Mother Chen had left on the table, they took a taxi to the County Public Security Bureau.
The process of giving their statement lasted for over an hour.
In the Interrogation Room, the Police Officer questioned them in detail about the incident. Chen Li and Liu Nansheng both stuck to their original claim—that they were blindfolded,
couldn't see the Appearance of the kidnappers, and were released after the kidnappers realized they had the wrong people, resulting in no property loss.
Although the Police Officer found it suspicious, given the consistent testimonies of the two, he could only record the facts as stated.
After completing all the procedures, a Police Officer returned the Audi car keys to Chen Li.
The familiar black Audi was parked right outside the gate of the Public Security Bureau Compound, glistening in the sunlight.
Sitting inside the car, Liu Nansheng let out a long sigh: "It's finally all over."
"It's all in the past," Chen Li said softly, starting the car.
The car slowly drove out of the Public Security Bureau and headed toward the Villa.
First, wait for news from Zhong Hao, find out who he is, and then investigate whether he was behind it. If it is confirmed that the Blond Guy was the mastermind... Chen Li's gaze darkened slightly.
Then he would definitely make that reckless guy understand that crossing Chen Li would be the most regrettable decision of his life.
Returning to the Villa, Liu Nansheng couldn't wait to start organizing the items they had purchased yesterday.
She carefully put the clothes that needed washing into the washing machine and took out the newly bought tableware, arranging them neatly in the kitchen.
Watching her busy figure moving through the house, Chen Li couldn't help but smile—every girl feels joy in decorating a new home.
Once everything was tidied up, Liu Nansheng took her pajamas and walked into the bathroom.
Chen Li, meanwhile, was leisurely half-reclining on the living room sofa, waiting for news from Zhong Hao and thinking about bringing his parents to see the new house today.
He wanted them to know they had another place to stay. Whether they preferred to live in the old house or wanted to live here, they could do whatever made them happy.
The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and soon, Liu Nansheng walked out, drying her wet hair.
She had changed into comfortable loungewear, her face flushed from the bath, making her look fresh and charming.
She walked briskly into the kitchen and soon returned with a plate of sliced fruit.
"Chen Li, when should we invite Mom and Dad over?"
She held a glistening grape up to Chen Li's mouth, her tone so natural as if she had long been accustomed to using that address.
"Changing your address so quickly?" Chen Li chuckled as he took the grape, pulling her closer to sit beside him.
"I love you, and I like your parents too."
Her confession was just like her—pure and candid, without any pretense.
Her directness warmed Chen Li's heart.
He looked down at her face, which was now so close. Her post-bath skin was fair with a rosy glow, and the loose neckline vaguely revealed her graceful curves.
A familiar heat rose from his lower abdomen, causing him to unconsciously tighten the arm wrapped around her waist.
"Today, perhaps. This afternoon, we'll go to the Vegetable Market to buy groceries for dinner, and I'll pick them up after they finish work."
"Mhm..." Liu Nansheng's cheeks flushed the moment she met Chen Li's fervent gaze.
His undisguised look made her heart pound, and even the tips of her ears secretly turned red.
Chen Li suddenly picked her up, eliciting a small gasp from her, and her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck.
Their eyes met, and affection flowed between them, needing no words.
With the 'click' of the bedroom door locking, their breaths grew increasingly rapid in the quiet room... (300,000 words omitted here)
Three hours later, quiet finally returned to the bedroom, leaving only their gradually calming breaths.
Chen Li lay on his side, holding Liu Nansheng completely in his embrace.
She rested softly in his arms, lacking the strength even to lift a finger.
Her fair skin had a faint pink flush, and the hair on her forehead was damp with sweat, clinging to her smooth temples.
Chen Li gently brushed aside those damp strands of hair, his fingertips stroking her slightly warm cheek, eliciting a lazy hum from her.
The other half of the sheet was soaked, the clearly darkened color confirming Liu Nansheng's sensitivity.
Chen Li looked down at the hazy sleeping face of the person in his arms and couldn't help but smile.
Liu Nansheng's reactions were highly sensitive; every subtle touch made her tremble, and this intense response both surprised and satisfied him.
In her sleep, Liu Nansheng unconsciously snuggled deeper into his embrace, her nose gently rubbing against his chest as she searched for the most comfortable position.
Chen Li tightened his arms, pulling her closer, feeling her steady heartbeat transmit through his skin.
In this space that belonged only to them, he also closed his eyes, letting sleep carry them both into dreamland.
Buzz, buzz, buzz... A continuous, dull vibrating sound rang out from the bedside table.
Chen Li reached out and picked up his phone, squinting as he saw Zhong Hao's name flashing on the screen.
He immediately woke up significantly, carefully moved Liu Nansheng's arm off him, and quietly slipped out of bed.
He quickly walked out of the bedroom, gently closing the door behind him.
Only after reaching the living room balcony did he press the answer button: "Hello, Brother Hao."
"A Li, I found something."
"That Blond Guy is named Li Weishan. His father, Li Chang, is the famous richest man in our Gao Cheng. He primarily started in real estate and is now involved in many industries."
"The richest man's son, huh..."
Chen Li let out a soft laugh, but his eyes turned cold. "No wonder he's so arrogant."
"A Li, what are you planning? I'm telling you, let's discuss things together." Zhong Hao's tone became serious.
"The Li Family has deep roots in Gao Cheng. I hear they have connections in both the underworld and the establishment. What I mean is... you understand."
Feeling the worry in his brother's words, Chen Li's heart warmed.
But he didn't want to drag his friends into this. Besides, it was only suspicion right now; there was no concrete evidence proving Li Weishan orchestrated the kidnapping.
"Brother Hao, you're overthinking it. I was just curious; how could I dare mess with the richest man's son?"
Chen Li pretended to be relaxed and changed the subject: "By the way, why don't you come over to my new place tomorrow? I just bought a house."
"Sounds good, you rascal."
Zhong Hao's voice immediately brightened. "You bought a house already? I'll definitely be there tomorrow. I have to make you treat me to a huge meal, haha."
After hanging up, Chen Li sent another message to Liu Zhao, inviting him to the housewarming tomorrow.
This was a tradition back home: when you buy a new house, you invite friends and relatives over for a lively gathering, symbolizing the start of life in the new dwelling.
After doing all this, Chen Li leaned against the balcony railing.
The Richest Man Li Chang... he had certainly heard that name. He was a big shot in the county.
Chen Li slowly put down his phone, a cold curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
The richest man's son? Very well.
If Li Weishan truly was the one pulling the strings, Chen Li wouldn't mind using every means necessary to make this Richest Young Master the eternal sinner of the Li Family.
He would let him personally see how the Li Family's title as the Richest Man (shǒufù) would gradually turn into the Heaviest Debtor (shǒufù).
Chen Li knew very well that if something happened once, it would happen again.
He absolutely could not be soft on someone who deliberately plotted to harm those close to him. They must be uprooted to eliminate future trouble.
It seems the only option is to proactively seek out Scarface...
