12 people died in all, and the 13th person was rescued after being sent to the hospital.

“He said that you paid them money to make trouble, but didn’t tell them they would die.” The lawyers felt helpless. It was obvious that someone had set this trap, but it was undeniable that those people were just hired by Li Peng.

“That’s bullshit!” Li Peng trembled angrily. “They were… not hired by me!”

He did order those people to kill one or two workers, but they died. No, the dead were not the ones he had hired…

“Now, all the charges are against us.” The lawyer was sweating with anxiety. “We’ll gather to discuss what we can do. At least, we’ll manage to bail you out first.”

Li Peng fell down in his chair and didn’t understand why things were like this. Suddenly, he thought of something.

“Leave me alone and get Li Dong out first.”

If this was all the work of Shen Xinglan and if something happened to Li Dong’s side, the company would be finished.

Even though things had been very bad, Li Peng still expected that he could settle accounts with Shen Xinglan after the current problem was resolved. He didn’t think that they couldn’t get rid of the present trouble at all.

“Mom…”

In the hospital, Li Nian finally woke up after three days in a coma.

“Niannian!” All the men in the family were taken away. Yao Manman was scared and frightened to stay in the hospital alone. Her sister-in-law went abroad and she couldn’t get in touch with her. Her daughter was hurt now. She almost had a mental breakdown.

At this time, Li Nian woke up. Yao Manman said through tears, “You’ve finally woken up. I’ll call the doctor.”

“No.” Li Nian’s eyes were dazed and she looked at the ceiling. “It’s no use calling a doctor…”

She remembered every detail clearly. She was pressed by a dirty body. The disgusting thing ran through her. Every time, it made her feel miserable. If she could have died, she would have killed herself without hesitation.

Unfortunately, she didn’t even have a chance to die. She had to bear it soberly that she fell into the abyss and suffered mental and physical torture.

“It’s lucky that you woke up. I would have arranged for you to go abroad for treatment.” Yao Manman dried her tears. “Are you hungry? I’ll order you something to eat.”

Li Niang shook her head and said, “Mom, let me be quiet. I don’t want to talk.”

“Niannian…” Yao Manman still wanted to say something, but Li Nian had closed her eyes.

She left quietly to call for a doctor. After she went out, Li Nian in the bed suddenly cried bitterly. She cried louder and louder. When Yao Manman came back with the doctor, she saw a hysterical daughter.

“Niannian!” She went over and hugged Li Nian.

But Li Nian waved her arms and pushed her away. If the nurse didn’t hold Yao Manman, she would have fallen to the ground.

“Ahh! Why is it that? Why?” Li Nian cried out crazily, and the IV needle in her hand fell out. The blood dripping onto the bed irritated her again.

That was how she watched her blood flowing out of her body that day. She cried, screamed, and begged for mercy. But no one saved her and no one let her go…

“Don’t come over here!” Li Nian felt the ferocious shadow in front of her. The man was naked, and his ugly genitals rushed at her. “Go away! Go away!”

Yao Manman sobbed. “Niannian! My daughter…”

“Mrs. Li, I suggest sedating Miss Li, or she will hurt herself.”

The doctor asked the nurses to hold down Li Nian and then gave her a sedative. A few minutes later, Li Niang lay still and slowly closed her eyes.

“She’s asleep.” The doctor was also sweating. “Mrs. Li, this way is not good. If Miss Li keeps doing this, I’m afraid she will have mental problems.”

Yao Manman was anxious. “What should we do? She just woke up normally and talked to me.”

“When a person wakes up from a deep coma, the brain and nerves haven’t recovered yet in that short period of time. A process is required. After that, it will irritate her.”

“You mean that she’ll be mad when she wakes up later?” Yao Manman was so scared that she forgot to cry. “Can’t you help her?”

The doctor sighed. “I suggest asking for the help of a mental expert, or… sending her abroad as planned! It might be better to change the environment and seek the help of a psychiatrist.”

Yao Manman was helpless. Li Peng and his son didn’t answer her calls. How could she make a decision alone…?

“Boss, Li Dong has confessed.” Two days later, Shen I was in a rush to report to Shen Xinglan.

Shen Xinglan was on the phone with A Miao, and he said something in a low voice before hanging up.

“That was fast. I thought he could hold on for a few more days.”

Shen I laughed happily. “He’s unlucky. The officials they collude with are just going to handle them. The Li family just fell into a trap.”

“The top officials also wanted to bring them down earlier,” Shen Xinglan said sarcastically, “When the Li family and the Lan family compete with each other, the economy of Jingcheng City will be affected. Since they had a rare chance to overthrow one, they were more active than anyone else.”

It was like asking A Miao to sneak into the Lan family. The top officials kept watch on them every minute. Now, the Li family had been broken down and the companies will be split up. If the Lan family was smart, they would not acquire them.

“At that time, some small consortiums will take advantage of the opportunity to develop themselves, coupled with the support of the top officials, and they will soon be likely to become powerful to compete with the Lan family.”

Shen I nodded. “They want to get the treasures of the dragon vein because they are afraid that it will be more difficult for them to control the Lan family if the Lan family gets something inside.”

“So, we should stop them from getting it!” Shen Xinglan curled his lips. “Is the map ready?”

“Yes, it’s near the Yanshan Mountains.”

Shen Xinglan didn’t say a word as he took out his mobile phone and made a call.

“Yu Sihan, are you interested in going to the location of the treasure again?”

After knowing that Li Dong had been convicted, Li Peng passed out. He indeed left the police station but his destination was the hospital.

“What did you say?” Yao Manman looked at the lawyer and thought she had heard him wrong.

The lawyer handed the documents to her. “The company has closed down. We tried our best to save more than 20 million yuan.”

“What about Li Dong? When will he be released?” Yao Manman took the documents.

The lawyer said with a helpless smile, “The general manager will probably be sentenced to eight or 10 years.”

“Aren’t you very excellent? The Li family has spent so much money to support you. Now, why can’t you exert your efforts??”

“Madam, we have tried our best. Although the chairman is in a coma, he has escaped unharmed. We will try our best to delay the case of the dead on the construction site and see if we can spend money to solve it.”

After the lawyer left, Yao Manman stood in front of Li Peng’s bed.

“Dad, Li Dong is still young. You can’t push him into jail. He’s all for the company. You asked him to do all those things. When you wake up, you can change take his place!”

In normal times, Yao Manman would not dare to say this. But, the old man was in a coma now and her husband was going to jail, so she didn’t care so much.

But the situation was not so optimistic. Before Li Peng woke up, the judgment of the court was issued. He was convicted of abetting the murder and was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment for the fact that it had a serious impact.

“Dad…”

Yao Manman looked at the old man.

Li Peng woke up at midnight and almost fainted when he heard the news.

“Go… go find Lan… Lan Lixiao…” His eyes became red and he wanted to ask that old man himself if it was him who had arranged all this.

He calmed down to think. He realized that they were deceived from the beginning by the opponent, who made a great trap and waited for the Li family to fall into it. Shen Xinglan didn’t have such a great ability. It had to be… the Lan family.

“Dad, they won’t come.” At this time, Yao Manman was no longer afraid of Li Peng.

She wiped her tears and said, “I’ve applied for you to stay in the hospital. Anyway, you can’t go anywhere now. The court allows you to recuperate in the hospital temporarily.”

“Go… go away…” Li Peng raised an arm, trembling.

He had had a stroke, and half of his body couldn’t move.

“I’ve asked a paramedic to take care of you.” Yao Manman even said excitedly, “You still have a fund in your hand, which is enough to pay your medical expenses. And I will go abroad with Niannian.”

Li Peng was shocked. “Dong… Dong…”

“Your son?” Yao Manman sneered. “He has so many lovers outside who will naturally visit him in prison.”

“You… you…”

Yao Manman pressed Li Peng’s arm down. “Come on, Dad. You take care of yourself. The Li family… is over!”

“Li Peng has suffered a stroke. Li Dong is sentenced to 10 years. Yao Manman took the remaining 20 million yuan of the Li family and went abroad with Li Nian.”

In the Lan house, it was unusual that the families were having lunch together.

Lan Hua excitedly said in bewilderment, “How could this happen? The Li family, which used to be so powerful, broke down in a flash.”

“I heard that it was Shen Xinglan who kidnapped Li Nian.” Lan Wenxuan looked at A Miao. “Was it for you?”

A Miao smiled and said, “I just found out about it. He didn’t tell me.”

“Did he say anything about the Li consortium?” Lan Qin put in a word. “You have picked a good man. I didn’t expect that he, a stranger to this city, could bring down the Li family.”

A Miao shook her head quickly. “It should have nothing to do with him. He also asked me on the phone if our family had done it.”

They tried not to let others know that Shen Xinglan had gotten involved in this thing, or top officials would also continue to keep watch on them. Originally, Shen Xinglan’s identity was very disturbing. If this incident broke out, they would be in trouble after returning to City S.

“It doesn’t matter who did it. Anyway, this is an opportunity.” Lan Hua looked at Elder Master, who kept silent. “Dad, what do you think?”

Lan Lixiao glanced at Lan Heng, who was cutting steak casually.

“We will not take action this time.” Lan Lixiao didn’t count on his youngest son, so he had to open his mouth. “This incident of the Li family involves politics, so we’d better not get involved in it.”

The means adopted by the Lan family were not more legal than those of the Li family.

Lan Hua understood. “After this event, I’m afraid that many companies will develop abruptly.”

“Don’t worry. As long as they don’t offend the Lan family, leave them alone!”

At dusk, Shen Xinglan came to pick up Yaya.

“Thank you, Elder Master Lan. Sorry to bother you these days.” Shen Xinglan politely brought a gift. “This is a gift for you.”

A Miao, standing beside them, looked at them nervously and was afraid that Lan Lixiao would ask about the matter of the Li family.

“Director Shen is bold and powerful and could bring down the Li family on your own,” Lan Lixiao said unfriendly, “Who will be your next target?”
