Chapter 506: Never Expect to Know the Truth
"Get out if you've seen enough!"
Seeing that Jiang Baobao did not speak, Xia Huiya opened her mouth to curse, looking exactly like a shrew from the streets.
Only then did Jiang Baobao withdraw her gaze and ask coldly, "Xia Huiya, I came here today to ask you, how exactly did Grandmother pass away?"
Xia Huiya was startled upon hearing this; she stared at Jiang Baobao for two seconds before suddenly laughing maniacally!
"Hahahaha! How did she die? Don't you know? That short-lived old hag died of a sudden heart attack!"
Jiang Baobao clenched her fists tightly upon hearing this, naturally not believing a single word.
Then she heard Xia Huiya finish laughing and continue, "You don't believe it, do you? But she died of a heart attack. Can you find evidence that I harmed her? Hmm? Can you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao's expression instantly turned stern: "What do you mean? Did you really kill Grandmother?"
"Hahaha, so what if I did? So what if I didn't? You only have evidence of the Lu Family's illegal drug manufacturing right now. If you say I harmed that dead old hag, what proof do you have! If you don't believe it, go find a forensic pathologist to perform an autopsy on her and see if she really died of a heart attack! If... she hasn't been burned to ashes by you yet! Hahaha!"
Xia Huiya knew that Jiang Baobao could never point the finger at her, and she laughed even more unscrupulously.
Jiang Baobao stared at her with a cold expression; if looks could kill, Xia Huiya would have already died a hundred times over.
There was no need to ask anymore.
If there were truly nothing suspicious about Grandmother's death, she wouldn't be arrogant to this extent!
And so certain that she couldn't obtain any evidence!
"Jiang Baobao, your grandmother died because of a heart attack. As for why she had a sudden heart attack..."
Xia Huiya's tone carried a hint of smugness, and she deliberately stopped speaking.
Jiang Baobao also knew that it was impossible to ask anything more.
"Xia Huiya, you will just stay in prison and suffer for the rest of your life!"
Jiang Baobao dropped this sentence and turned to leave.
Behind her was Xia Huiya's indifferent laughter.
The room's soundproofing was excellent; it was almost the moment the door opened that Li Beijue heard the shrill sound from inside the room.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Jiang Baobao's terrible complexion, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
Jiang Baobao shook her head with some exhaustion: "It's nothing, let's go."
As she spoke, she took the initiative to turn and walk in the direction of their departure.
Li Beijue immediately followed, feeling uneasy.
Not until they were in the car did he speak: "If you feel that keeping them around will lead to further complications, I can..."
He did not finish his sentence, but Jiang Baobao understood what he meant.
"No need. Death is too easy for her. I want to keep her alive, locked in prison, never to get out for the rest of her life, and never to have an easy time!"
Jiang Baobao's tone was uncharacteristically gloomy, and Xia Huiya's arrogant laughter seemed to still be echoing in her ears.
As for why Grandmother had a heart attack, I'm afraid that besides her, no one else will ever know...
"Baobao."
Li Beijue's concerned voice suddenly rang out, pulling Jiang Baobao's thoughts back abruptly.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Baobao subconsciously looked up at him, but her forehead suddenly touched a touch of warmth.
It was a kiss without a hint of romance, only comfort.
"Don't think about her anymore. It's already in the past. Relax a little, okay?"
Li Beijue coaxed the person in front of him softly, and after saying that, he couldn't help but blame himself: "If I had known you would be in such a bad mood after seeing her, I wouldn't have brought you here..."
Jiang Baobao felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, I'm fine now. Anyway, the matter is already resolved. Being unhappy was only temporary; I'm better now!"
Jiang Baobao didn't want him to worry, so she hurriedly cheered up and smiled.
Li Beijue was finally relieved and couldn't help but kiss her again before starting the car and driving toward the Li Mansion.
But he didn't expect that as they were about to reach the entrance—
They saw an "uninvited guest" from afar.
"Lu Qing'er? What is she doing here..."
Jiang Baobao muttered in a low voice, her expression instantly turning somewhat cold.
Li Beijue also dropped his face in a second and said in a low voice, "I'll have someone drive her away."
"Hmm."
Jiang Baobao nodded; she didn't want to pay any attention to Lu Qing'er.
Li Beijue continued driving toward the gate of the Li Mansion without looking aside.
But Lu Qing'er suddenly looked over!
She looked pleasantly surprised, as if she had recognized Li Beijue's car, and then without a word, she blocked their path!
"Screech—!"
A shrill sound of braking rang out.
Li Beijue slammed his foot on the brake, his face instantly turning gloomy.
Jiang Baobao was also startled by her sudden movement, her face full of lingering fear.
Is Lu Qing'er tired of living?
Running all the way here just to stage a collision?
Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she noticed Li Beijue reversing the car slightly, wanting to change direction to enter the gate.
But Lu Qing'er blocked them again, unwilling to give up, determined to stand in front of their car!
Li Beijue's brows were knitted tightly; he finally stopped the car, slammed the door, and got out.
"If you want to die, go somewhere else; don't die at the entrance of Li Mansion!"
He did not leave Lu Qing'er a shred of face, his tone filled with undisguised disgust.
A flash of embarrassment crossed Lu Qing'er's face instantly, and immediately after, she saw Jiang Baobao also step down from the car.
"What do you want?"
Jiang Baobao's tone was equally cold.
Lu Qing'er's gaze flickered for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly locked onto Jiang Baobao's finger.
There, hanging on her middle finger, was a bright, gleaming ring.
Was that... bought for her by Li Beijue?
Knowing what the meaning behind this ring likely was, Lu Qing'er's heart tightened sharply, and a glimmer of jealousy flashed in the depths of her eyes.
But it lasted only for an instant.
She then hurriedly spoke: "President Li, I came today to plead on behalf of my parents. I know they have done many wrong things, but... they are old after all, they cannot spend their whole lives in prison... I beg you to let them go. I am willing to take them abroad, we don't want the family assets anymore, and we will never come back..."
"I am not the person you should be begging."
Li Beijue couldn't be bothered to listen to her, but he subconsciously blocked Jiang Baobao in a defensive gesture.
Lu Qing'er paused upon hearing this, her fists clenching tightly in resentment. She looked at Jiang Baobao instantly and pleaded, "Cousin, I beg you to let my father and mother go. No matter what, they are your elders and your family. Can you really bear to leave them in prison? You..."
"Family?"
Jiang Baobao had not intended to speak, but seeing that she had no intention of repenting, she could not help but sneer.
"Uncle was also my family. When Xia Huiya and Lu Guohui drugged him, did they not think they would end up like this today! This is all their own doing!"
