Chapter 236: After the Family Was Broken and the People Died, Li Rao's Choice
In a high-end villa area in Zhengzhou City, Li Rao was curled up in a corner of the bedroom bed in a white cotton nightgown, sobbing softly.
The heavy curtains with gold patterns were closed tightly, blocking out all the light from outside, leaving only a dim floor lamp in the room.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and there were clumps of paper towels scattered on the floor. Because all the servants in the villa had been dismissed, no one came to clean up.
Her life changed drastically overnight. Her parents were taken away by the police for unknown reasons, and relatives were not allowed to visit them.
She couldn't get through to her brother who was studying abroad by phone.
She was also under 24-hour surveillance by people sent by the police and could not even walk out of the villa.
Li Rao was brought up in a pampered state. Her parents had a very high status in Zheng City, and she was the center of attention at school. She had never suffered any grievances, and she was the only one who could bully others.
Although Huo Ruman and Li Yao seldom talked to her about work, Li Rao could more or less guess that the source of the family's money was not clean.
But no matter what, as long as she has money to spend, Li Rao doesn't care where it comes from. She will just enjoy this life of luxury with peace of mind.
But what she didn't expect was that there would be a day when the truth would be revealed, and judging from the situation, it would be very difficult for her parents to come out again...
Even a lot of stolen money will be recovered, including the villa we live in now.
What should she do next? She has nothing left, not even a way out, and her family is no different from being destroyed.
Li Rao got off the bed in a trance and washed her face beside the lotus-shaped washbasin.
The light from above shone down on her head, and the face in the mirror, which had always been delicate and lively, now looked haggard.
A rapid phone call rang out. Hearing the sound, Li Rao stumbled back to the bedroom and picked up the vibrating phone on the bedside table.
The caller ID showed Huang Kai. Li Rao was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a long time, and finally pressed the answer button.
She vaguely remembered that her mother seemed to have a close relationship with Huang Jiagui, the boss of Royal No. 1, and that was how she met Huang Kai. Now that her mother was in trouble, maybe the other party would take care of her, which was better than having no backbone.
In the past, Li Rao was proud and arrogant, and she responded to Huang Kai’s pursuit according to her mood, but now she can only pin all her hopes on him.
Sometimes fate is as ridiculous as a drama. She had no choice but to lower her status and try to find a glimmer of hope.
"Where are you now?"
Huang Kai on the other end of the phone lowered his voice and asked in a rather urgent tone.
Li Rao didn't sleep all night, and her vision was darkening from time to time. She leaned against the head of the bed and relaxed for a while.
Hearing Huang Kai's words, she suddenly felt extremely uneasy. Could it be that Royal No. 1 was also in trouble? !
"I... I am being monitored by the police at home, and my parents have also been taken away by the police. What exactly happened? What should I do now?"
Li Rao's voice trembled, and she couldn't help crying when she said this.
"It's hard to explain this matter in a few words. My father has also been taken away, and I can no longer stay in the country. I guess the investigation will soon lead to me."
"I have several friends who have built industrial parks in Vietnam. They are well-known figures in the local community. Even if they cross the border illegally, their identities can be arranged. At least their lives are guaranteed, and there is a chance to turn things around."
"Are you coming with me?"
Huang Kai was currently in a private place that the police could not find. While he was talking on the phone, he was also packing up valuables that could be quickly converted into cash.
Because the Huang family was involved in sensitive industries that were on the edge of the law, they prepared for a rainy day and had already made many preparations to facilitate cashing out and running away.
The police acted so quickly that Huang Jiagui was caught off guard and was taken away directly. The confidentiality work was also done very well.
Huang Kai only realized what had happened after receiving the news that Royal No. 1 was blocked this morning.
As soon as he left his usual residence, the police came to search.
Li Rao was stunned. She really couldn't stay in China anymore, and she was too embarrassed to go to school. If those followers knew that her family was in trouble, who knows how they would treat her. She couldn't accept this huge difference in treatment.
Moreover, the crimes of both her parents are certainly not minor. She will face obstacles everywhere whether she takes the civil service exam or does other work in the country.
But what will we face if we follow Huang Kai to Vietnam, a place where we are unfamiliar with the place?
To put it bluntly, she and Huang Kai had no relationship at all. He took a huge risk to smuggle her out of the country, so he must have had some ulterior motive.
It seems that no matter which road you go down, it is a dead end.
Time waits for no one, she must make a choice before the call ends.
Li Rao bit her lip. This will be a fork in the road that will affect her life. One wrong step will lead to all wrong steps.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
She had no choice but to take a gamble. After arriving in Vietnam and getting a new identity, she would find a way to go to Country M to find her brother.
Huo Ruman deposited a sum of money for her in a Swiss bank, which would be her last trump card.
"Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, you must find a way to get away from the police and leave the villa area. I will pick you up then."
After packing the package, Huang Kai leaned against the window and lit a cigarette, his eyes dark and gloomy.
He knew that his family business would collapse sooner or later, but he never thought that this day would come so soon.
The doorbell rang suddenly, and Huang Kai stood up alertly. His residence was very secluded, and very few people knew about it. The only people who came at this time were the police or people who had a close relationship with him.
He put out the cigarette, pulled out a heavy golf club from the corner, and walked forward carefully.
Huang Kai turned the doorknob, accompanied by a short creaking sound. After he saw the scene outside the door clearly, he was stunned for a moment.
"Huang Kai, I really have nowhere to go. Please help me for the sake of the child!"
Chai Jing was sobbing, holding two babies in her arms.
All of the Chai family's tobacco and alcohol shops were sealed off overnight, and her father, brothers, Fang's parents-in-law, and her husband Fang Xuan were all taken away by the police.
She was lucky enough to escape because she was not involved in the industry.
But she was in the period of confinement after giving birth and taking care of two children who were less than half a month old. She was helpless and her life was worse than death.
Chai Jing heard that Huangjia No. 1 had also been sealed off, so she guessed that Huang Kai would definitely come here.
When she was with Huang Kai, she often came here, so she came here with ease.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. It would definitely be better to follow Huang Kai than to be alone.
Huang Kai frowned, looked at Chai Jing's haggard face, and wanted to close the door in annoyance.
But when he saw the two children sleeping soundly, the expression in his eyes relaxed.
He knew that these two children were his own blood and he couldn't really be so cruel as to ignore them.
Huang Kai sighed helplessly and finally brought Chai Jing into the house.
