Chapter 135 What exactly is this kid after?
Click! The door opened.
A man with long hair covering his eyes and wearing a mask, making it impossible to see his face, stood at the door.
Who are you?
Just as Li Xuezhi opened his mouth, he saw the other party pull out a sharp dagger from his pocket and stab it towards his chest.
A flash of cold light!
The dagger had already torn his clothes.
"It's over!"
A thought had just flashed through Li Xuezhi's mind.
But the next moment, he felt himself being lifted into the air.
Bang!
After landing, Li Xuezhi discovered that Li Yi had been standing at the door for some time and had grabbed the masked man's arm.
Outside the door, the masked man was also surprised to find that there was another person inside.
Seeing that his attack had missed and his arm was being held, he immediately stretched out his left hand and slammed it at Li Yi.
Unfortunately, for an ordinary person like him to attack Li Yi was simply overestimating his own abilities.
Li Yi grabbed the other person's left arm, then twisted his arms to firmly control the person.
"Mr. Li, it looks like you won't be able to spend time with your wife tonight. This guy's trying to kill you to cover it up. You'd better call the police!"
Li Xuezhi also realized what was happening at that moment.
The thought of the masked man's ruthless nature filled him with lingering fear.
If Li Yi hadn't come knocking on my door tonight, not only would I be dead, but my wife might also have been murdered.
Since that was the case, he didn't hesitate any longer and took the initiative to dial the police.
Woohoo~ Woohoo~
Several police cars arrived at the scene quickly.
Li Yi simply went to the police station with Li Xuezhi.
......
the next day.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was cloudless.
Standing in front of the police station were three stunningly beautiful young women and a tall, handsome young man.
"Here it comes!"
"The braised pork belly is ready!"
"Shao Bai, are you alright? Did you suffer in there?"
Upon seeing the figure that had just emerged, Wang Tao and the other two immediately rushed over.
Bai Ruxue, who had just been released, was still a little confused. "Taozi, what happened? I heard them say that the fire in the factory was arson?"
"Oh dear, we really have to thank Xiao Li this time. He found out that Liu Zhiyi had hired people to do the whole thing..."
Wang Tao immediately began to tell the story vividly.
After listening, Bai Ruxue finally understood what had happened.
"Xiao Li, thank you so much this time."
"No need to thank me, Sister Bai. All of this happened because of me. I'm the one who dragged you into this."
Li Yi shook his head with a wry smile, his heart filled with guilt.
Bai Ruxue had never met Liu Yuxiang before, and she had no direct conflict with Liu Zhiyi.
The other party chose to retaliate by setting fire entirely because of him.
Wang Tao was well aware of the entanglement between Li Yi and Liu Yuxiang, and could naturally guess what he was thinking at this moment. "Alright, Xiao Li, how can this be blamed on you? It was clearly Liu Zhiyi who caused this mess."
Bai Ruxue didn't blame Li Yi at all. "That's right, this has nothing to do with you."
Seeing the somewhat somber atmosphere, Xia Bingyu spoke up directly, "Alright, alright, it's all over now, and the burnt tofu is fine. Let's go back quickly."
Wen Rui also hugged Bai Ruxue, "Yes, we'll give you a welcome dinner when we get back, to wash away the bad luck."
Unexpectedly, Li Yi suddenly spoke up, "Sister Wang, you should take Sister Bai home first. I have something to do, I'll go over later."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tao immediately became displeased. "What are you doing, kid? Shao Bai just came out, and you're already leaving? What's so important?"
"I......"
Li Yi was about to explain when Bai Ruxue interrupted him, saying, "Alright, Xiao Li must have been exhausted all day yesterday. Let him go back and rest."
When Wang Tao thought about how Li Yi had been running around investigating the case yesterday, she didn't say anything more. "Okay, you can drive my car first. I'll go to Shao Bai with Lao Xia and the others."
Li Yi was in a hurry to go back first, not to rest, but because he had other things to do.
However, after hearing Wang Tao's words, he didn't explain further, but simply took her car keys and left.
Wang Tao and the other two followed Bai Ruxue back to their residence.
Bai Ruxue owns a villa in Xicheng District.
After arriving home, the group prepared to celebrate.
However, Bai Ruxue wasn't in a very good mood. "Peach, I'm a little tired and want to rest for a bit. You all should go back."
Wang Tao, Xia Bingyu, and Wen Rui exchanged glances and could only nod.
"Then you should rest well first, we'll come over later."
As best friends, the three of them were well aware of Bai Ruxue's biggest predicament at the moment.
After leaving the villa, Wang Tao spoke first: "I haven't finished paying off the loans on those buildings yet. In the short term, I can only mortgage up to 20 million."
Xia Bingyu gritted her teeth, "I don't have that much money. Even if I borrow from others, I can only scrape together a million at most!"
Wen Rui also spoke up, saying, "I can only raise a maximum of five million here."
Wang Tao shook her head. "It's less than 30 million. I doubt it's even enough to build a factory."
Xia Bingyu opened her mouth, "...Doesn't Xiao Li have some money? Could we borrow some from him?"
Wang Tao immediately scoffed, "Tch! What are you thinking? Would you really use a man's money to make braised pork belly?"
"That's right! We sisters should handle our own affairs and think of other ways." Wen Rui nodded in agreement.
Little did they know, Li Yi had already taken out his bank card.
No matter what, the burning down of Bai Ruxue's factory is inextricably linked to her.
Although Liu Zhiyi has been arrested and brought to justice, even if a verdict is handed down, the other party will not be able to make up for these losses.
Li Yi has no way to compensate for those three lives.
The only thing he can do now is to take out the money and compensate Bai Ruxue for all her economic losses.
Inside the villa.
Bai Ruxue had just finished showering and was sitting on the sofa in a daze when she heard the doorbell ring.
She opened the door and was surprised to find Li Yi standing there.
"Hey? Xiao Li, what brings you here? Come on in."
Li Yi glanced at Bai Ruxue's bathrobe, hesitated at the door for a moment, and finally stepped inside.
"Where are Sister Wang and the others?"
"I sent them home first. What, do you need to see them?"
Li Yi shook his head. "No, I came to find you."
Bai Ruxue thought that Li Yi, like Wang Tao and the others, had come to comfort her. "Little Li, don't worry, I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
Li Yi nodded upon hearing this, then took out the bank card from his pocket and handed it to Bai Ruxue.
"Sister Bai, there's over 110 million in this card. You can use it first. If it's not enough, I'll find a way to make more."
Bai Ruxue was taken aback when she heard this, then immediately shook her head. "Xiao Li, although my factory burned down, those counters are still there. I can earn them slowly in the future. There's no need to borrow money."
Li Yi shook his head as well, "Sister Bai, you've misunderstood. This money isn't a loan; it's compensation for you. After all, this whole thing started because of me, so there's no reason for you to bear the consequences."
Seeing his serious expression, Bai Ruxue was completely stunned.
Because of the previous deception, she has always been wary of all men.
Even Li Yi was no exception.
Although this guy has excellent medical skills and usually acts like he's not greedy for money.
However, Bai Ruxue still suspected that he was doing this only as a pretense to maintain a long-term relationship.
But now, he has nothing left, yet Li Yi is still giving him so much money.
What is he after?
