C289 New Clues
The old man stood up and knocked his pipe against the sole of his shoe. He walked over to the two and rubbed his hands. "Two big bosses, you should know about the information exchange, right?"
Lei Zhengsheng was confused. He frowned and said, "What information exchange? Quickly hand Li Xiuran over or you'll be in trouble!"
"Hey!"
The old man rolled his eyes at Lei Zhengsheng, raised his head and said: "This is the Lee Family Village, even if you are the big boss, you cannot hit people here. Do you believe that if I shout out, the hundred over people in the village will immediately surround us?"
"You …"
Lei Zhengsheng had lived in a big family since he was young, how could he know how unruly and unruly this country bumpkin was? He was at a loss for what to do at that moment.
Chu Yun patted him on the shoulder to calm him down. He took out five red notes from his pocket and passed them to the old man, "Sir, you only have so much cash on you. Can you tell me where Li Xiuran is?"
No matter how small the fly was, it was still a piece of meat. Moreover, 500 yuan was already a lot of money for him. The old man hurriedly took the money and stuffed it into his pocket.
The old man clearly knew what Li Lei had done. This sort of thing could not be concealed. Thus, he had no intention of hiding anything for Li Xiuran.
Now that he had taken the money, there was no need to carry it around anymore. He turned around and shouted at the tile house, "Soo Lian, someone is looking for you."
Li Xiuran, who was still unaware of what was going on outside, thought it was a scout from the village, so she answered and walked out.
When she saw Chu Yun and Lei Zhengsheng, her face instantly turned pale. She turned around and ran back into the house.
"Big Sis, wait a moment!"
Chu Yun and Lei Zhengsheng hurriedly chased after him. The old man did not stop them and continued to smoke at the door.
The interior of the house was dark and humid. There was a musty stench coming from it. Lei Zhengsheng covered his nose with a pained expression on his face.
Seeing this, Chu Yun laughed secretly in his heart. This old guy has been living a good life for a long time, coming to this sort of place is really wronging him.
If he was allowed to go to the northwest battlefield for two days, he would probably surrender before the enemies even do anything.
Pulling open the shabby door curtain, the two of them entered the inner room. They saw Li Xiuran holding a three or four-year-old child, hiding in a corner while trembling in fear.
The child's face was ashen, revealing a deathly aura. It was obvious that he had suffered from a serious illness.
"Masters, please let us go. His father is already dead, and we don't know anything about what he did!"
Lei Zhengsheng snorted and roared: "Don't know? You don't know why you ask us for mercy the moment you open your mouth? Speak, exactly what is going on with Li Lei? Was he ordered to do so? "
Initially, Lei Zhengsheng thought that it was just an accident. However, after seeing Li Xiuran's reaction, Lei Zhengsheng felt that there might be something fishy going on. Could it be that this wasn't an accident?
"Masters, I really don't know anything. Two days ago, he suddenly brought back 600,000 yuan, I thought he did something illegal, but he said it was clean money, so I didn't think much of it!"
"Who knows? He had an accident at the construction site the next day. Even now, I still don't know where the money came from!"
"But our daughter really can't take it anymore. Without the money to save her life, she might already be dead!"
Li Xiuran spoke with tears in her eyes. The child's illness, coupled with the pain of losing her husband, made this thirty year old rural woman look especially haggard. She looked like a fifty-year-old woman.
"Big sister, don't be afraid. Speak slowly if you have something to say. I'm only here to inquire about the situation!"
Chu Yun looked at the sickly little girl and felt a burst of pity. Perhaps it was because after having a daughter, his heart had become soft.
Li Xiuran wiped her tears and continued, "My daughter found out about leukemia at the age of three. The expensive medical fees overrun our family every two years. The father makes money every day but we have no culture. Even if we do that, we can't afford the expensive medical fees."
"Over time, the child's father became depressed. He overcame his illness several times, and even when he was on the verge of death, I knew that he couldn't bear to part with his daughter. If he died, then his daughter would be done for!"
At this point, Li Xiuran touched her daughter's head and sobbed, "Child, it's all my parents' fault. I don't have the money to treat your illness. Don't be a poor family's child in your next life!"1
Chu Yun let out a long sigh. Originally, he wanted to come and denounce them, but the situation in front of him made him give up on that idea.
Although Li Lei had done something illegal, it was undeniable that he was a good father.
"Old Lei, have you brought any cash with you?"
Lei Zhengsheng rubbed his swollen eyes and immediately nodded. "Not much, but a bit."
Now was the era of electronic payment. Not many people brought cash, and Lei Zhengsheng only had 2000 cash on him.
"Elder sister, here is two thousand in cash. You can take it. This old man will arrange for your daughter's condition to be followed up. He will find the best doctor to help your daughter."
"Really?"
Li Xiuran was wild with joy, but on second thought, the better the doctor, the higher the cost, she did not have the money to pay the medical fees.
"No …" It's no trouble, I've already filled the hole in the 600,000 that our son's father brought, I don't have the money to hire a good doctor anymore. "
Lei Zhengsheng shook his head and said, "Don't think too much. You don't need to worry about the money. Since Mr. Chu asked me to treat him, I have full responsibility. You just need to take your child to see a doctor!"
Li Xiuran was dumbstruck. There was actually such a good person in the world. It was as if he was a living Buddha!
"Thank you, sirs, thank you!"
Li Xiuran was about to kneel down with her child in her arms, but Chu Yun stopped her, "Big Sis, there's no need to kneel. It's just that your husband, Li Lei, hurt my father-in-law in an accident, so I want to get to know more about it from you."
"What?" mistakenly hurt your father-in-law? "
Chu Yun gritted his teeth and did not reveal the scary truth. He said indifferently, "Yes, that's why I wanted to ask about the situation and figure out what happened. Think back carefully and see if there was anything abnormal with Li Lei before yesterday's incident."
Li Xiuran frowned for a moment and shook her head. "Nothing abnormal. He works out all day and doesn't come back until very late. When he came back, our children and I had basically gone to bed. Even if there were any abnormalities, we wouldn't notice them."
"But if you put it this way, I think I heard him talking to a woman in the middle of the night, but I don't know who exactly. His cell phone was destroyed in the accident, so I can't even look at it."
"Women?"
Chu Yun frowned slightly. Perhaps this was the next step.
Alright, Big Sis, here is my name card. If you think of anything, contact me again. Tomorrow, this old mister will send someone to take you to the best hospital in the city.
"Alright, thank you, thank you!"
Li Xiuran gratefully saw the two of them out of the courtyard. Chu Yun tried to persuade her to stay.
In the car, Lei Zhengsheng turned around and asked, "Mr. Chu, do you have any leads? We came here for nothing."
Chu Yun shook his head and said, "We didn't come here for nothing. Go check the housing records of the hotels now and see if there are any records of Xie Huiqin's stay in the last three days."
"Xie Huiqin?"
She was Chu Yun's mother-in-law. Could this have something to do with her?
"Let's check it first. I hope my guess is wrong!"
