Chapter 315 Li Xiaoyan is dead
The person who called her was none other than her grandfather.
Xu Tianlan used to want to gain her grandfather's approval, to prove that she, as a girl, was no less capable than a boy, and she also wanted to develop her Xu family.
She also treated her grandfather with great respect.
Although she already has a lot and doesn't need to prove anything to him, she has long since looked down on the Xu family's businesses.
She still respected her grandfather, but the Xu family was becoming increasingly demanding.
Xu Tianlan answered the phone just as it was about to end.
"Grandpa, aren't you resting yet, it's so late?"
"Tianlan, Grandpa has something to tell you."
"Grandpa, what's wrong?"
“I know you are a strong-willed child, and your older and younger brothers are no match for you.”
But both your brothers are my flesh and blood, and since they are both boys, I can't help but be a little biased.
But now it's all good. You've built your own career, and Grandpa is truly happy for you.
Hearing her grandfather's words, Xu Tianlan was somewhat moved. After all, it was the affirmation she had longed for since she was a child, and now it had finally come true.
"Your younger brother is getting engaged soon. If you have time, come back for a visit. Your family misses you."
"Xu Tianye is getting engaged?" Xu Tianlan wasn't particularly interested in their affairs, so she was somewhat surprised.
You know, Xu Tianye is a playboy, and she thought he wouldn't plan to get married for a long time.
"Yes, he's not getting any younger, so we can rest easy now that he's settled down." Grandpa Xu's words were clearly filled with joy; he was genuinely happy that his grandson was engaged.
"Oh, please send me the specific time, and I will go back then."
After all, they were family. Since Grandpa had spoken, Xu Tianlan wouldn't be disappointed.
"Yes, you should take good care of yourself while you're away, and don't push yourself as hard as you used to."
Hearing her grandfather's words of concern, Xu Tianlan felt a bitter taste in her mouth.
It turns out that Grandpa knew how hard she had worked in the past. He knew everything, but he still chose to ignore her.
Xu Tianlan couldn't quite describe how she felt about this sudden concern.
The call ended quickly, and the initial joy was replaced by sorrow. He then drank large gulps of wine.
She had to stop drinking when she got too tipsy and remembered she had work to do the next day.
Erqiang was Xu Tianlan's bodyguard, which is why Xu Tianlan dared to drink like that in public.
In a daze, Erqiang carried me back to my room, and of course, he also dealt with a few small stink bugs.
These were people arranged by Wu Mingxing, who were even thinking of taking the risk of extorting Xu Tianlan.
Before Xu Tianlan even realized it, the danger was over.
On the second day of the auction, Young Master Feng wanted to bid on more jade stones to take home; he couldn't possibly leave empty-handed.
But with Xu Tianlan around, how could he be so relaxed?
Xu Tianlan quoted a high price for some of the jade stones, which finally allowed Feng Sanshao to acquire them.
More often than not, Feng Sanshao acted out of spite.
To be honest, since we hadn't filmed anything yet, it wasn't a complete loss.
This auction resulted in a direct loss.
Feng San Shao will probably have his share of troubles when he returns to China.
However, the two families have become bitter enemies.
Tian Zhenzhen returned to China first, and with Erqiang around, she didn't need to worry about Xu Tianlan's safety.
As soon as the plane landed, Tian Zhenzhen felt starving. Before she even left the airport, she received a call from Yao Xuan.
"What's wrong? You know I'm back in China and can't wait a moment longer?"
I'm actually hungry, let's go out to eat together.
Tian Zhenzhen picked up the phone and joked.
But to everyone's surprise, Yao Xuan's somewhat heavy voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I just received news that Li Xiaoyan is dead."
"what?"
Back in the dormitory, Yao Xuan and Zheng Nanyue didn't look too good.
Although they weren't very close to Li Xiaoyan, the sudden death of their classmate still left them feeling somewhat melancholy.
"Zhenzhen, you're finally back."
"Are you two feeling down?" Tian Zhenzhen could tell why from their pale faces.
To be honest, she had mixed feelings about Li Xiaoyan. Although Li Xiaoyan was somewhat vain, she was also quite clever.
I didn't expect that she died.
However, Tian Zhenzhen did not share the same emotions as the other two, perhaps because she had seen too many dead people.
"Who knew Li Xiaoyan would suddenly die? Not only her, I heard that the whole Li family is dead. Zhenzhen, did the Li family offend someone? This is terrifying."
Although Yao Xuan had been involved in some things, this was the first time she had ever encountered something like wiping out an entire family, and the thought of it made her shudder with fear.
"Have you offended someone?"
For some reason, Tian Zhenzhen suddenly remembered the person she had met at the airport before. Could it be because of the Shiawasa incident?
"Yes, how could someone be wiped out if they hadn't offended someone?"
I didn't see the body, but I asked around and found out that the Li family members all died tragically. Li Xiaoyan must have suffered a lot of torture before she died.
The more Tian Zhenzhen listened, the more it seemed to be the work of those mercenaries.
After offering them a few words of comfort and showing them gifts he had brought back from Yunnan, their mood improved considerably.
Inside a villa in Shanghai, Hailey was clearly in a bad mood.
She discovered that her younger brother came to Xia Kingdom because of the Li family.
She arrested all the members of the Li family and tortured them for several days, but no one knew how her brother died.
Her brother has disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead, and she is unable to maintain emotional stability.
"Haley, although the Li family members are dead, I discovered that the Li family's Tianyu Group was acquired by a real estate company, and it was an acquisition without any reservations, as if it was a deliberate suppression."
Is there some connection involved that would make the other party act so recklessly?
Furthermore, when I interrogated the Li family members, I heard that the owner of this real estate company had told them that someone wanted to kill them. Could it be that this person knows something?
Hearing this, Hailey's eyes hardened.
"As long as there is even the slightest clue, I will investigate it."
Go and make the arrangements; I need to see this person as soon as possible.
“Okay, Hailey.”
Today is the weekend, and Wu Hao wants to meet with Tian Zhenzhen after he learned that she has returned, so he wants to talk to her about the electric car.
Tian Zhenzhen agreed to have lunch together.
Tian Zhenzhen sat on the sofa, looking at the photos on her phone, which were of Li Xiaoyan.
Her eyes were closed, and her body was covered in bruises, suggesting she had likely been abused before her death.
Previously, the classmates had even wanted to go together to pay their respects to Li Xiaoyan, after all, they were classmates.
However, the Li family's case is still under investigation, so it's unlikely that a memorial service will be held for the time being.
Tian Zhenzhen also arranged for martial artists to investigate.
Around noon, Tian Zhenzhen and Wu Hao arrived at a restaurant.
The restaurant was very quiet because we had something to discuss.
"How is the project progressing? Is it going smoothly?" Tian Zhenzhen was quite concerned about the electric vehicle project.
After all, the technology of electric vehicles has already surpassed the world's standards.
Once developed, it will cause a sensation, just like the Truewise chip.
It not only brings technological enjoyment to people around the world, but also becomes her cash cow for making money.
