Chapter 96 - The Dead Can’t Speak

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mu Xichen stepped out and met Gu Mingye.

Gu Mingye stood up straight and greeted him respectfully. “Boss.”

“Notify Elder Li.” His voice was soft and unspeakably calm and meaningful. “His granddaughter had such a big accident, so we must surely let the elderly know.”

Gu Mingye glanced at him meaningfully before nodding. “I understand.”

Things seemed to be even more troublesome.

In the middle of the night, Old Mr. Li directly came forward demandingly.

Li Haoran didn’t usually pay much attention to Li Beinian’s whereabouts and had yet to find out that she hasn’t returned yet.

Seeing how aggressive his father looked, Li Haoran was stunned and couldn’t speak for a long time.

He immediately went to Li Beinian’s room to find her, and it really was empty.

He called her and her phone was turned off.

Old Mr. Li’s face was flushed as he glared at Li Haoran and stomped his feet. “You bastard!”

As he talked, he picked up his crutches and threw them fiercely at Li Haoran’s legs.

Li Haoran didn’t make a sound and bore the crutches sullenly.

No one dared to speak.

“Old Mr. Li, I’ve searched all over but didn’t see any traces of Ms. Beinian. I’ve searched the places she often goes to and even checked the CCTVs at her tuition classes, but she’s nowhere to be found.”

A respectful voice sounded.

However, it carried a desperate weight.

Old Mr. Li couldn’t stand it anymore and fell on the sofa at once.

He looked at Li Haoran sadly. His old eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said in hatred, “I thought that after having lost Nian Nian for so many years, you would treat her better. But Li Haoran, I didn’t expect your heart to be made of steel. Is she even your own daughter!”

“Dad...” Fang Zhili spoke weakly next to him. “Haoran has never treated her badly. But Nian Nian has always been stubborn and willful. She even forced Haoran to let her appear in a drama, or she would complain to you and say that we mistreated her. Haoran did it for your health and never told you any of these, but we didn’t expect to have provoked you.”

Her voice wasn’t loud and held tiny temptation.

She looked at her husband.

Li Haoran was startled.

“Yes, Grandpa!” Li Xueqing was wearing pajamas, and her eyes were blinking calculatingly. “Nian Nian often doesn’t come home. How do we know if she is fooling around outside again?”

Anyway, Li Beinian was now dead. Who cared if she returned home every day or just went fooling around outside?

The dead couldn’t speak.

Thinking of this, Li Xueqing added fuel to the fire and said, “Nian Nian didn’t tell you about it, but in fact, she has already starred in a suspense film called “Nine Spies”. She acted as a female psychopathic killer.”

Li Haoran was stunned. Fang Zhili exclaimed and covered her mouth, pretending to just know about it. She said, “Nian Nian is so powerful?”

“Yeah, but this role is very important. If she wasn’t good, she wouldn’t have been able to play it. She didn’t even tell us about it, let alone fighting for a role in the name of Dad. So, if she didn’t come home for a few days straight...”

She didn’t say it directly, but her meaning was already put across.

Did this mean that Li Beinian came to power with improper means?

“Sir, I’ve found her.”

A respectful voice came, and everyone immediately looked at him.

“There was a car accident yesterday evening. A white car crashed. The person driving was... Ms. Beinian.”

Hearing this, Old Mr. Li’s eyelids rolled over and he fell backward.

“Dad!”

“Grandfather!”
