Deliberately Approaching-Chapter 580 - 542: Water Should Not Be Poured Randomly

Chapter 580: Chapter 542: Water Should Not Be Poured Randomly

"It’s me, go ahead, what’s the matter?"

The call had just been made by Ding Hui, and to ensure that no one was eavesdropping, Zhao Renjie had walked five or six meters out of the back door of the villa before dialing back.

"The license plate was fake, with an unknown destination. However, surveillance captured that, between 8 and 9 a.m. yesterday, a man appeared twice around Li Wanshan’s residence, wearing a duckbill hat, about 175 cm tall, last seen at 6:15 p.m."

Zhao Renjie pressed his cellphone tightly to his ear, a glint flickering in his deep eyes.

"What does this mean?"

"It’s possible that something had already happened last night, and the car today was just a decoy."

"Mm, for the neighbors to see."

"Also, yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock, a maintenance person entered the second floor of the house across from ours. The nanny there said it was because their internet was down."

"The residents across the street!" Zhao Renjie repeated gravely, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the phone.

"I never believe in coincidences. I suspect... that repairman must have been carrying out a surveillance or preparatory action task. Although there’s no direct evidence yet of his involvement in the Li Wanshan incident, his appearance was definitely not a coincidence.

Furthermore, there’s new information. Du Feng is not in Jin City; from yesterday till now, only his four subordinates are continuing the investigation into Yuan Min."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Renjie’s gaze deepened even more.

"The day before yesterday, I left him such a big surprise; he’s not in Jin City, so he must have come to Country Y."

"That’s what I was thinking too."

"Be careful, and if it’s not feasible, pull out."

While it’s good to clarify the details to later control Li Zishen, one must not expose oneself and end up losing more than one tries to gain.

"Don’t worry, I have an idea."

Meanwhile, in the surveillance room, Wang Meijuan was intently watching the live feed from the villa’s back door.

Why can’t we know what’s happening?

This Old Zhao...

"Meijuan, do you also think it’s Li Zihan?"

Seeing how excited Cheng Shi was, and still smiling, Wang Meijuan decisively reined in her curiosity.

"Mm, yes!"

She actually didn’t think so.

But she liked Cheng Shi, who couldn’t get to the point in a few words and made her brazenly support his judgment.

"Definitely him, absolutely!"

"Do you dislike Li Zihan?" Wang Meijuan whispered, carrying a hint of gossip.

"No."

"Then why do you suspect him?"

"When we were in Jin City, Li Zihan was quite upright toward Lady Tang; he didn’t need to consider much, unlike Li Zishen who, as the chairman, has inconvenient matters to deal with."

"Oh, I see, you mean Li Zihan doesn’t need to consider the big picture like Li Zishen."

Cheng Shi nodded seriously.

"So why isn’t it Lai Jingshan?" Wang Meijuan sipped her chrysanthemum tea and continued asking.

She believed Lai Jingshan had the most motive as Li Wanshan knew about his affair with Yuan Min, enough to ruin Lai Jingshan’s reputation.

Every additional minute Li Wanshan lived was torture for him; it would be easier to eliminate him altogether.

"He has a wife and kids, he can’t afford any trouble."

"Oh, so that’s how you see it!"

Wang Meijuan suddenly realized that Cheng Shi wasn’t quite as aloof as she had thought and actually held a strong family ethos.

...

In the following days, Tang Xiaowan and Leng Lingxiao explored many places on Tunyun Island, enjoying a series of delightful barbecues.

But in Jin City Li Garden, the situation was grim. Li Zishen had a perpetual scowl.

Even Nanny Chen dared not say much, dutifully delivering meals to the study room on time each day, regardless of whether they were eaten, and Li Zihan also obediently went to school.

For Li Zishen, the most pressing issue currently was to fulfill his mother’s last wish as quickly as possible.

"Brother Shen, Lady Tang is on Tunyun Island."

After scouting for so many days, there was finally news. Li Zishen took Bai Long’s mobile phone and looked through the photos and videos twice from beginning to end.

"Book the earliest flight for tomorrow."

"It’s said that there are many hidden reefs around Tunyun Island, and if one wants to land safely, one needs someone experienced to lead the way," he said, "otherwise... it could be dangerous."

"Do we have to take a boat?"

"After all, it belongs to a private island..."

"If you’re afraid to die, don’t go!" Li Zishen suddenly stood up and slammed the phone down on the table.

"Yes, I’ll arrange it right away."

Sometimes, human intuition can be quite accurate.

At this moment, Leng Lingxiao was also secretly making arrangements on Tunyun Island, suspecting that the merchant who had been inquiring at the dock these past few days was Li Zishen’s man.

"Go ahead, prepare well." Leng Lingxiao hooked his lips, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Zhao Renjie nodded his head, "Yes."

A moment later, Leng Lingxiao walked into the bedroom, his mind heavy with thoughts, where Tang Xiaowan was napping.

In her half-asleep state, she suddenly felt a weight on her body, gentle fingers caressed her face, followed by a damp body pressing down.

"Tangtang, say you love me."

Tang Xiaowan couldn’t help but moan softly, her hand reaching to Leng Lingxiao’s neck, "I love you!"

He tormented her like a storm for quite some time until he felt secure, then he hugged the already exhausted Tang Xiaowan and fell into a deep sleep.

And Tang Xiaowan seemed to understand something as she snuggled deeper into Leng Lingxiao’s arms.

She wanted to give him a full sense of security.

When they woke up, it was already five-thirty in the afternoon, and after dinner, the two went to the backyard garden together.

"Huahua, help me pull out the hose."

"Time to water the plants?"

Tang Xiaowan nodded her head with a smile.

Lately, she had been especially keen on tending the flowers and plants; she would run to the garden whenever she had a free moment.

She handled all sorts of gardening tools effortlessly.

Although the backyard wasn’t large, as Leng Lingxiao just stepped on the accelerator and left, it still took Tang Xiaowan quite a lot of time and effort to tend to it.

Different from the meticulously maintained front of the main building, here there were wild shrubs and perennial herbs that seemed to have been scattered randomly, creating a natural beauty.

"Tangtang, look here!"

Tang Xiaowan looked in the direction Leng Lingxiao was pointing and saw a handmade sign standing next to what looked like succulent plants behind her.

[Succulent plants, please don’t water!]

"Strange, when was this put here?"

She had been wondering whether to walk further inside as she was worried the water wouldn’t reach far enough.

"How could you miss such a big sign while watering?" Leng Lingxiao raised an eyebrow, a look of enjoying the spectacle, "Oh no, did we just end their short lives?"

"I didn’t notice it at all."

He had left for just 15 minutes, fearing Tang Xiaowan might be thirsty, and went to make a fresh pineapple juice.

When he came back, he noticed a conspicuous sign next to some unknown plants, while Tang Xiaowan was focusing on watering another area.

"It seems being too diligent doesn’t work either!"

"Not at all."

"Here, drink some pineapple juice to calm down."

"No need, I hate it!"

Tang Xiaowan made a face at Leng Lingxiao and walked away holding the watering hose, but after moving three or four meters out, she suddenly turned around.

She bit her lip, threw the watering hose on the lawn, and decided to walk closer for a better look.

She hoped she hadn’t watered too much.

If they really died, that would be too much of a pity!

Meanwhile, in the top floor attic, a security personnel wearing headphones was observing Tang Xiaowan’s every move through a high-powered telescope.
