Lin Junhao couldn't help but sigh with emotion. When it came to schemes, it had to be his father. Even he, as the son, felt like his father was an old fox, truly an old fox.
He then glanced at the direction Li Se had left. Lin Junhao felt a sense of anticipation. What kind of storm would erupt when this guy found out the truth of what happened back then?
It was time to truly stir up the currents in the capital!
Although Li Se had caused quite a stir before, it ultimately hadn't truly affected anyone's interests. At most, it had angered the Ye family and the Tang family. Nothing else mattered. Without the marriage alliance, there would naturally be no losses for either side.
Ye Bowen's legs had also been successfully treated by Li Se.
But now, things were different. The past events involved several major families. This was the real stirring of the pot!
Anticipation, great anticipation!
A curve formed on Lin Junhao's lips. He felt a sense of friendship towards Li Se, but in his heart, the interests of the family naturally took precedence.
Li Se would definitely be a headache for many families, and then the Lin family could sit back and watch the tigers fight.
Li Se had no interest in what the Lin family thought or how they schemed. He drove, his thoughts somewhat muddled. He didn't call his mother immediately because he knew asking her directly was the most straightforward method, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. It would be too cruel to his mother.
Before he knew it, Li Se stopped the car at the entrance of a military district. He directly showed his identification and was smoothly allowed entry.
"Why are you here?" Leng Rushuang was quite surprised when she saw Li Se arrive at the military district. Was this guy looking for Third Master?
"I want to see Third Master!" Li Se said straightforwardly.
"Alright, follow me." Leng Rushuang nodded. Li Shengjun had given instructions that if Li Se came looking for him, no matter how busy he was, he had to be brought to him.
Not long after, Li Se met Li Shengjun.
"You came to see me?" Li Shengjun was somewhat happy, as Li Se had come to find him on his own.
"En!" Li Se's mood was a bit complicated.
Seeing Li Se's expression, Li Shengjun seemed to sense something. He asked Leng Rushuang to step aside, then led Li Se to a lawn. After they sat down, he said, "Did something happen?"
"I..." Li Se hesitated for some reason, but still took a deep breath and asked, "Is my mother Wan Qiuying?"
As soon as he said this, Li Shengjun froze, his body trembling uncontrollably. He was somewhat incredulous and confused, as he hadn't expected Li Se to know this name.
What a long-forgotten name it was. No one had mentioned this name for twenty years.
Li Shengjun took a deep breath. "You know everything?"
Boom!
Like a bolt from the blue!
Li Shengjun's answer undoubtedly meant that Li Se's mother was indeed Wan Qiuying.
This meant that Chen Xiulian was not his biological mother.
Li Se fell silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Alas!" Li Shengjun sighed. "I know your feelings for Chen Xiulian are very deep. You can continue to call her Mom, and I won't stop you. Although she isn't your birth mother, she's better than your birth mother."
"She's already dead?" Li Se mused.
Li Shengjun nodded. "En, after giving birth to you, she died in a car accident."
"Car accident?" Li Se frowned. He was somewhat confused because he didn't think Lin Junhao would tell him this for no reason. This likely meant that Wan Qiuying's car accident was not simple.
"Yes, there was a car accident back then. It was just an accident. Don't overthink it." Li Shengjun patted Li Se's shoulder.
"It wasn't simple, was it?" Li Se said in a deep voice. "If it was just a simple car accident, why would my mother take me away? Don't you find that strange?"
If Wan Qiuying was Li Shengjun's legitimate wife, even if Wan Qiuying died in a car accident, he shouldn't have been taken away by Chen Xiulian, let alone to the distant Qingyun City. This clearly indicated a desire to escape something.
He hadn't thought much of it before, just believing Li Shengjun to be heartless. But if his birth mother wasn't Chen Xiulian, then everything was questionable and problematic.
The main thing was the lack of reason. Li Se had no reason to be taken away. How could Li Shengjun abandon his son?
This meant that the car accident was not simple, definitely not simple!
Li Se took a deep breath and continued, "If it was just a simple car accident, there would be no need for me to leave the capital. Although I've only met you a few times, I cannot deny that you are a person who values relationships. Immediately after your wife died in a car accident, you sent your son to Qingyun City. This is highly illogical and doesn't fit your character. Therefore, something must have happened, and that car accident was definitely not simple!"
Upon hearing this, Li Shengjun's expression also changed, and his body trembled slightly. It could be felt that an anger and a sense of hatred were emanating from him.
From Li Shengjun's reaction, Li Se knew he had guessed correctly. The car accident back then was not simple, meaning that his forced departure from the capital and his birth mother's death in a car accident were orchestrated. Someone was working behind the scenes!
"Third Master, someone you fear might not be simple, right? You asked me to leave the capital back then, likely for my safety. This means that the person who harmed Wan Qiuying made you wary, leaving you helpless. In the entire capital, there are probably only a few people who can make you wary and helpless. Is it the Old Madam of the Li family?"
Li Se suddenly asked.
Since Li Se was still in Qingyun City, the Old Madam of the Li family had already sent assassins to kill him. After arriving in the capital, she became even more ruthless. He had already investigated and found out that the person who wanted to kill him was this Old Madam. Since this Old Madam could kill him, she could also have killed his mother twenty years ago.
It all made perfect sense!
Li Shengjun looked at Li Se with disbelief, very surprised because he hadn't expected Li Se to connect it to the Old Madam of the Li family.
"Is it her?" Li Se asked, enunciating each word.
Li Shengjun sighed lightly. "What if it is, what if it isn't? Unless your strength reaches a certain level, even if you know some things, you won't be able to change anything. Listen to me, don't investigate your birth mother's affairs anymore. I'm doing this for your own good!"
