Chapter 487: It's So Good to Have Li Beijue Around

~8 min read 1,420 words

"Enough, stop talking!"

Lu Guohui was annoyed by her nagging and suddenly spoke up to scold her.

Lu Qing'er immediately shut her mouth obediently and stopped speaking.

The three of them quickly packed their things, gave some instructions to the servants at home, and prepared to leave.

Outside the door—

Li Beijue's car also happened to pull up.

Jiang Baobao got out of the car and glanced at the villa in front of her, her expression still somewhat puzzled.

"What exactly did you bring me here for? What have they done again?"

Jiang Baobao had been pondering the whole way, but she still didn't know what Li Beijue was actually planning to do.

But just as she finished speaking, she saw the villa door suddenly being opened by someone.

Lu Guohui walked out from inside, carrying a large suitcase.

Following behind him were Xia Huiya and Lu Qing'er, who were also carrying suitcases.

Not expecting anyone to be at the entrance, Lu Guohui paused in his steps.

Then, upon seeing clearly that the people who had arrived were Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao, his expression immediately turned somewhat ugly.

"Where are you planning to go?"

Li Beijue let out a cold snort and stepped forward, sizing up the three members of the Lu Family.

Lu Guohui and Xia Huiya both felt a sudden sense of panic.

Lu Guohui hurriedly explained with a smile: "Such a big thing happened at home, and Qing'er was a bit frightened, so we are planning to go abroad to relax and find a place for a vacation. President Li, you really came at a bad time. If there is nothing important, we are in a hurry to catch our flight..."

As he spoke, he tried to pull his suitcase and head toward where the car was parked.

But he didn't expect Li Beijue to give him no chance at all; he suddenly stepped forward fiercely and blocked Lu Guohui's path.

"It's not a bad time at all. I have something I want to discuss with you; it won't be too late to leave after we finish talking."

Li Beijue's tone was leisurely, carrying a hint of someone waiting to watch a good show.

Jiang Baobao looked at him, puzzled, feeling as if she had sensed something, yet unable to figure it out clearly.

Lu Guohui was in such a rush to leave; it certainly wasn't for a vacation...

Could it be... that he was afraid of her finding out about her grandmother's affairs, or something else, and wanted to flee directly?

Jiang Baobao paused slightly and hurriedly asked as well: "Uncle-in-law, where are you planning to go for vacation?"

"We..."

"What business is it of yours!"

Lu Qing'er retorted at Jiang Baobao and glared at her fiercely.

Lu Guohui's eyes flickered for a moment, and he felt a bit anxious inside.

The warehouse had suddenly caught fire last night, and he already knew that something big was wrong!

The people he sent to burn the warehouse had also never sent back any news; something must have happened...

Now Li Beijue had brought this girl, Jiang Baobao, to block them at their home...

Lu Guohui calculated quickly in his mind and finally struggled to say: "President Li, if we don't leave now, we'll miss our flight..."

"It doesn't matter."

Li Beijue curled his lips into a cold smile and said unhurriedly: "If you really can't make it, I can send you away in my private jet, but for now..."

He deliberately left his sentence unfinished, making it clear that he did not intend to let them leave.

Although Jiang Baobao didn't know what had happened, she saw Li Beijue's intention and stepped forward to block the group.

Lu Guohui's expression immediately turned even uglier.

Xia Huiya also revealed a look of slight anxiety.

Lu Guohui's gaze shifted between Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao, and he gripped the suitcase in his hand without changing his expression.

It seemed that Li Beijue was determined to block him today...

But there were only two of them!

Since that was the case...

A hint of ruthlessness suddenly erupted in the depths of Lu Guohui's eyes; he suddenly raised the suitcase in his hand high and smashed it fiercely toward Jiang Baobao's direction!

At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Get in the car!"

Everything happened in an instant.

Li Beijue turned around almost subconsciously, shielding Jiang Baobao in his arms!

Clang!

The suitcase slammed heavily onto his back and then fell to the ground.

Banknotes from inside the suitcase flew and scattered all over the ground.

Before Jiang Baobao could react to what was happening, she had already heard the sound of a car starting.

"Li Beijue! Are you okay?"

She had no time to worry about the fleeing Lu Guohui and looked at Li Beijue with a worried face.

Li Beijue's brows were tightly locked, his back felt numb, and he pressed his lips together tightly, shaking his head slightly.

The next second—

The shrill sound of sirens echoed throughout the entire street.

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looking up, she saw that Lu Guohui's car had already been blocked by police cars not far away.

Even from the opposite direction, police cars had arrived to surround them.

"What... is going on?"

Jiang Baobao was somewhat dumbfounded.

Li Beijue chuckled, took her hand, and walked toward the direction where Lu Guohui had parked his car.

The police had already escorted the three members of the Lu Family out of the car.

"Let go of me! Why are you arresting me! Dad! Mom!"

Lu Qing'er was being held by two police officers, struggling incessantly, her expression filled with terror.

Lu Guohui also began to feign innocence, saying, "Officer, we haven't done anything illegal!"

"You haven't?"

Li Beijue walked forward, sneered, and deliberately reminded him, "Do you know someone with the surname Qin?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Guohui and Xia Huiya's faces changed instantly.

Li Beijue, however, could not be bothered to say more; he waved his hand impatiently, signaling for them to be taken away.

"President Li, we have already reviewed the evidence you provided. We are now taking these three back for interrogation."

One of the older-looking police officers took the initiative to walk over and speak with Li Beijue.

"Mm, I'll leave it to you."

Li Beijue nodded, watching as the three were escorted into the police car.

Only then did Jiang Baobao finally snap out of it; she looked at Li Beijue in disbelief and asked, "What evidence? What evidence did you get? How come I didn't know?"

"Evidence that will ensure they never come out of prison again."

Li Beijue smiled, took her hand, and turned to walk toward where his car was parked.

Once in the car, he took out a document and handed it to Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly opened it to read; after scanning through it quickly, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"These are just their account transaction records, plus some phone recordings. If you want to listen to them, I'll send them to you when we get back. I had someone set the fire yesterday just to test them; I didn't expect to actually catch a big fish..."

As Li Beijue spoke, he suddenly reached out and gently ruffled Jiang Baobao's hair: "Now that this matter is resolved, no one can hurt you anymore. From now on, you can treat your uncle's illness with peace of mind."

Jiang Baobao blinked, feeling as though the documents in her hands weighed a thousand pounds.

She never imagined that the matter she had worried about for so long would end up being resolved by Li Beijue.

The sound of the police siren faded into the distance, and everything felt somewhat surreal.

"By the way, are you still in pain? Did you get hurt just now?"

Jiang Baobao suddenly thought of the person before her, who had blocked that blow for her just a moment ago, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"No..."

Li Beijue instinctively wanted to say he was fine, but after uttering only one syllable, he suddenly changed his tone and hesitated: "I'm not entirely sure either. I might have to trouble you to take a look for me when we get back."

"Okay."

Jiang Baobao agreed readily.

Upon hearing this, Li Beijue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, his mood unexpectedly good.

The troublesome matter was resolved.

What remained... was to resolve the matters between them.
