Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 620 - Chapter 620 Chapter 620 Just because of this you think it was

Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Just because of this, you think it was me? Chapter 620: Chapter 620: Just because of this, you think it was me? After Li Nanfeng fell from the building, he was immediately taken to the hospital.

But in the end, the rescue efforts proved futile. His body was already at its limit, and injuries from the explosion combined with his psychological trauma meant he couldn’t hold on any longer.

The police immediately launched an investigation into Li Nanfeng’s fall, but since there were no surveillance cameras at the site of his fall, no one knew exactly how it happened.

And since no one was around him at the time, they ultimately ruled it an accident.

When the news reached the Li Family, Mr. and Mrs. Li and the elder Lis were distressed for quite some time–after all, he was a blood relative, so to say they felt nothing would be impossible.

The only ones in the family who were unaware were Li Miao and Li Hanzhou, who carried on as if nothing was amiss.

Qiao Xun learned of this just as he was coming off the airplane, and after more than a month of recuperation, his health had recovered.

Upon hearing the news, he was a bit dazed. It all happened so suddenly, he was completely unprepared, and Li Nanfeng had received his due punishment.

Qiao Xun always felt there was something unsettling in his heart. He didn’t rush home but thought it over and arranged to meet with Li Hanzhou.

Considering that Qiao Xun was Qiao Yun’s uncle, Li Hanzhou readily accepted the invitation.

The two agreed to meet in a teahouse.

As soon as they met, Qiao Xun got straight to the point, his eyes inquiring as he asked, “Did you have anything to do with Li Nanfeng’s incident?”

Li Hanzhou didn’t rush to answer. He leisurely picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and spoke in a casual and carefree tone, “What incident are you referring to specifically?”

Qiao Xun looked at him, “The fall from the building.”

Li Hanzhou set down the teacup and curved his lips into a smile, “Why would you think that? After all, he is my uncle.”

Qiao Xun didn’t know why, but his intuition told him that Li Nanfeng’s fall couldn’t have been without cause–the only person that came to mind was Li Hanzhou.

Because…

“The mental hospital where he stayed is owned by the Shen Family, and as far as I know, young master Shen Qi of the Shen Family is your brother.”

Li Hanzhou’s eyebrows slightly rose, “Uncle, just because of that, you believe I did it?”

Qiao Xun was startled, then internally gnashed his teeth–who was his uncle, what was he rambling about.

“Regardless of whether it was me who did it…” Li Hanzhou stood up, still wearing a faint smile, “you just need to understand that he will never have the opportunity to harm Qiao Yun.”

Qiao Xun’s complexion suddenly turned a shade paler. Listening to his words, he felt this man was terrifying.

It seemed that today, he finally understood why people always said Li Hanzhou was not to be trifled with.

Li Hanzhou nodded, “Uncle, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.”

A muscle twitched in Qiao Xun’s face, and he couldn’t help but retort, “Who’s your uncle?”

“Sooner or later I will be, you should get used to it,” Li Hanzhou didn’t seem to think he was being too presumptuous.

Qiao Xun was shocked by his shamelessness. After a while, he said seriously, “I have no right to decide who Qiaoqiao likes, but if one day she falls for you, and you dare make her unhappy, I won’t let you off.”

Li Hanzhou sighed softly, “To hurt her is to ask for my life.”

Qiao Xun nodded, “It had better be so.”

In the end, he still couldn’t figure out whether Li Nanfeng’s fall was orchestrated by Li Hanzhou–the matter became a complete mystery.

But he felt neither joy nor excitement, only relief, as if something had finally settled.

Qiao Xun returned home as if in a dream, pushed open the door, and did not see Qiao Se’s figure.

He put down his suitcase and walked to the backyard, where he saw his father, digging in the earth.

Qiao Se heard the noise, looked up, and upon seeing his son, he smiled, “Oh, you’re back? Have you eaten?”

Qiao Xun quietly watched his father, whose hair was silver, walked over, and squatted down to help him dig.

Chattering away, Qiao Se said, “No need for you to help, you must be tired. There’s food left for you in the kitchen; go eat and then rest awhile.”

“Dad…”

Qiao Xun softly interrupted him, “Let me tell you about the person I like, her name is Jiang Yunzhi…”

The overcast in the sky gradually dissipated, and a ray of sunlight fell down, the sun had finally come out.

…

The incident didn’t quiet down just because Li Nanfeng had run into trouble, but with many parties involved, the police had been busy for several months. At the beginning of May, they had finally arrested all the people involved.

Li Nanfeng’s underground research facility was also destroyed, and incidentally, a human trafficking ring and some illegal industries were uncovered.

Once the matter was settled, the official announcement was released.

It caused an immediate sensation around the world and sparked lively discussions for a long time.

Previously, due to the ongoing investigation, the news was tightly sealed. Now that the dust had settled, various rumors began to spread in high society.

It was said that the mastermind behind the illegal experiments was the expelled Young Master from the Li Family.

It was said that the incident was targeting Professor Qiao and that the enemy wanted to kidnap her.

It was said that Professor Qiao had captured the person herself.

Hearing these rumors, Lu Rui came home that evening and said to his wife in an exasperated tone, “What nonsense, what does this have to do with Qiaoqiao.”

“Exactly, it’s too far-fetched,” Su Mian said, glancing at Qiao Yun, who was watching TV in the living room. “Right, Qiaoqiao? You think so too, don’t you?”

Seeking help, Qiao Yun turned her head to look at Lu Zhanxing, who was eagerly eating sunflower seeds, pretending to know nothing.

Su Mian: “…”

Lu Rui: “…”

Su Mian, who knew her son all too well, immediately exploded, “Lu Zhanxing! Confess and be lenient, resistance will be strict! Tell us, what is the real story?”

Lu Zhanxing laughed awkwardly, “Mom, what real story?”

Su Mian huffed and turned to ask Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, you tell us.”

“I…”

Su Mian added, “Good children don’t lie, okay?”

Qiao Yun: “…”

With her lips pursed, Qiao Yun, seeing the concerned look in her parents’ eyes, didn’t know what to say. She could only tug Lu Zhanxing’s sleeve, “Brother, you tell them.”

What could Lu Zhanxing do but listen to his sister?

So, under his parents’ grim expressions, he laid out the entire affair.

Realizing it was indeed related to Qiaoqiao, the Lu couple were stunned for a long time and couldn’t get over the shock.

What was this situation? They had been enjoying the drama for several months, only to find it had hit too close to home.

After all, the incident had passed for several months, and Qiao Yun was indeed unharmed.

They found it difficult to utter reprimands that they wanted to say.

In the end, Su Mian said with a cold face, “How could you keep such a big matter from us.”

Lu Rui frowned, “And you too, Younger Brother, how could you hide this from us for so long.”

Qiao Yun was still not used to dealing with her parents’ care, and she could only continue to look at Lu Zhanxing.

Lu Zhanxing said nonchalantly, “It’s all solved now, so don’t worry. What kind of person is my sister? She’s not someone just anyone can hurt.”

While that was true, the Lu couple still felt unsettled.

However, because they weren’t directly involved and couldn’t fully empathize, they weren’t extremely angry.

This also counts as a small conclusion. For those who don’t like romance, consider the following as extra stories. But the face-slapping coming up is quite exciting too.
