Emotionally stable, but continuing to go crazy

Yuan Ziqian also tried hard to search for relevant memories in his mind, "Now that you mention it, I seem to have some impression..."

However, Wei Zhe'an didn't care about these things. After all, he had money, a son, and a lover, and he was considered a winner in life. No matter what his family background was in this world, it didn't affect him much.

In contrast, Li Jinhe was very concerned about this. When he heard them say this, he couldn't wait to ask: "Is it true? Where are they from?"

Since Yuan Ziqian is slightly older than the others, he may have a more profound memory of childhood events.

He thought for a moment and replied, "I don't have a very specific impression. If we want to find out the truth, I'm afraid we need to investigate further. However, I vaguely remember that this happened when I was a child. The old man of the Wei family gave people a very gentle and kind feeling, and his eldest son seemed to be in his twenties when he went missing?"

After hearing the news, Li Jinhe couldn't help but frowned and muttered to himself: "More than 20 years old? He was lost..."

Although Wei Zhe'an didn't say anything, he secretly complained in his heart: How could he be lost at such a young age? Could it be that his intelligence was impaired? It didn't seem right to think so. That person might be his "biological father" in this world.

Zhou Xingshuo was too young at the time and didn’t have a deep impression of the incident. He said frankly: “I don’t know the details either. I just heard the old man casually mention that it seemed that the matter was quite complicated. At that time, many families in the circle helped to find it.”

Yuan Ziqian was looking at the tablet in his hand, swiping the screen constantly, looking for some important information.

After a long while, he finally spoke: "It is indeed quite complicated. I can only find out one thing here. This was a criminal case. At first, it seemed that the hostage was kidnapped. The family has paid the ransom and the kidnapper has been arrested. But who knew that the hostage disappeared strangely and his life or death is unknown."

Upon hearing this, Li Jinhe immediately raised his eyebrows and asked, "Criminal case? Then there should have been relevant news reports back then, right?"

Yuan Ziqian shook his head and denied it: "In fact, not many media reported on this matter. This matter was only circulated in a small range and did not attract widespread attention. Perhaps it was suppressed at the time."

There was a clear sound of a car door closing coming from Zhou Xingshuo's side, which seemed particularly abrupt in the silent night.

His voice was reverberating, probably in an empty space: "Ahe, don't worry. I will ask my old man about the situation tomorrow and notify you as soon as I have any news."

Li Jinhe responded softly, indicating that he understood. At the same time, he secretly observed Wei Zhe'an's expression with the corner of his eye, and when he saw that the other party did not seem to intend to continue asking questions, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.

The three of them chatted for a while, and the topic unknowingly turned to Li Binglin again.

Yuan Ziqian was the first to ask, "How is the progress of the 'people-shoveling plan' you mentioned earlier? Did the old man notice anything unusual?"

Li Jinhe replied with a relaxed look: "Everything went well. The person has been successfully arranged and there have been no abnormalities so far. Maybe the old man is too busy to take care of a young assistant in a branch office."

Yuan Ziqian was slightly surprised after hearing this: "Just an assistant? I thought you would assign him a more decent position. It would be better for him to use my resources so that he can at least get a job in the management."

Li Jinhe shook his head and explained with a smile: "With his qualifications, it would be too eye-catching to take a management position directly, which would easily arouse other people's suspicion. It would be safer for him to start as a grassroots assistant. Besides, wasn't that how the old man arranged that girl in the first place?"

After Yuan Ziqian carefully recalled the boy's past experiences and personal information, he couldn't help but look embarrassed and said, "Well... it's true. Although the boy has great ambitions, it's just talk on paper after all..."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain about Li Xun: "And that guy Li Xun, he has been flirting with people all these years, indulging in 'sowing seeds' all over the world, but he hasn't been able to cultivate even one useful talent."

Zhou Xingshuo sighed, "I don't know if your Li family's genes are good or not, but your family education is really abnormal! If these illegitimate children were also raised in the Li family, they might be better than they are now."

Yuan Ziqian also agreed with this statement and really could not praise the Li family's education and growing environment.

Zhou Xingshuo sighed and said, "To be honest, you are the most suitable person to be the heir of the Li family."

Hearing this, Li Jinhe's mouth twitched, revealing a smile full of irony: "If these people and I grew up together in the Li family environment, the scene would surely be very 'exciting'..."

When I think back to my own upbringing, there was only endless boredom, indifference, and lack of love.

If there really were several such children growing up together, according to the old man's personality, they would develop a strong sense of competition from an early age, and would compare with each other and fight openly and secretly for their own future.

This is like a few crickets trapped in the same jar, allowing an old man to tease and instigate them with a straw. They fight each other to the point of bleeding for an illusory promise or a look.

In the end, the old man will only see the cricket who flaps his wings to the last, and the life and death of other losers seem unimportant.

After a brief pause, Li Jinhe continued their conversation and said, "If I really became the so-called successor, I would have changed beyond recognition. Just like An An said, I would have lost some of my humanity."

Yuan Ziqian thought about the people who had been in power in the Li family and shuddered: "Yes, with your strong learning ability, Ah He, if you really inherit the family business, you will definitely be more ruthless than Li Binglin."

He was terrified when he thought about how Li Jinhe might have ended up like that if he hadn't fought so hard. He changed the subject and asked, "By the way, did he say when he would contact you next time?"

Li Jinhe replied: "He didn't mention a specific time, but only asked me to meet him alone next time and not to bring An An with me."

Zhou Xingshuo burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Hahahaha, if it were me, I wouldn't agree to you taking An An with you! After all, An An's fighting ability is so strong that even the old man dares to scold her, hahaha!"
