The news was blocked when Fang Zhili and her daughter returned home.

But just when they settled down, they heard that Li Beinian was alive.

“How could it be!” Fang Zhili exclaimed in disbelief.

Li Haoran sighed. “I couldn’t believe it either, but she came back this morning and went to my father’s ward. She almost scared me to death.”

Li Xueqing’s face was even paler and she shouted suddenly, “It must have been her, Mom, it must have been Li Beinian!”

Li Haoran looked at them in surprise. “What’s wrong?”

Fang Zhili paled and grinned reluctantly. “It’s nothing. It’s just that we met something last night, but it’s resolved now.”

Li Haoran also wanted to ask, but he saw her bad condition and just let it go.

Fang Zhili was exhausted and said, “Xueqing, let’s go rest.”

Li Xueqing fell asleep immediately.

After waking up, they went to the hospital.

Li Beinian was hospitalized in an individual superior ward.

When Fang Zhili and Li Xueqing entered, she was wearing the hospital gown. Her face was pale and her hair was scattered.

She was sitting on the bed reading a book. The sky was bright, and from far away, it looked quiet and beautiful.

Seeing them coming in, Li Beinian looked up and smiled at them. “You’re here?”

Fang Zhili’s expression was very ugly. Looking at her, she went straight to the point. “Was it you last night?”

Li Beinian smiled brighter and said, “Was it you who cut my brakes last night?”

Fang Zhili’s heart trembled, but she maintained a somber expression and stared at her.

Li Xueqing’s heart beat fast as she followed behind Fang Zhili nervously.

Thinking of the “ghosts” of last night, she still felt terrified.

“It’s good that you’re fine. We were very worried about you.” Fang Zhili looked at her and said slowly, “You don’t know, but when he heard that you met with an accident yesterday, Mu Donglin directly lifted the marriage contract.”

“Oh... I see.”

Fang Zhili looked at her. “We saw a ghost last night.”

“Did you do too many bad deeds?” Li Beinian smiled deeper.

Li Xueqing flared up and said, “Why are you still pretending, it was you!”

Li Beinian looked at her and shook her head. “How could you say that.” During the conversation, she found a card that had been prepared long ago. “It’s just a little joke of one million yuan, it’s a simple offering.”

Fang Zhili and Li Xueqing were both shocked and yelled angrily, “It was really you!”

Li Beinian smiled and shook her head gently. “It wasn’t me.”

“How could you still say it wasn’t you! You must have written this note!” Fang Zhili threw the note over.

Li Beinian picked it up and tore it off slowly, saying, “It wasn’t me, but if you give me a million yuan, it’d be considered fair as well, wouldn’t it? After all, you destroyed my car.”

“Bullshit! When did I ruin your car!”

“Yes, your goal wasn’t just to ruin my car, but also my life.” Li Beinian stared at her with icy cold eyes, as if quenched by poison. “One million yuan is too little.”

Fang Zhili’s face turned pale and unsightly. “What evidence do you have?”

Li Beinian smiled softly and didn’t answer. She just said, “I have a few backups here. If you don’t give me the money, I can’t guarantee which newspaper your photos will appear in.”

Li Xueqing looked extremely scared. She said, “Li Beinian... you... you are too despicable!”

“I’m despicable.” Li Beinian smiled with cold eyes. “But I won’t ask for your life.”
