Chapter 2403 What is the truth?
"Don't go!"
Li Qian was kneeling on the ground. When she heard Li Meng was about to leave, she hurriedly tried to stop him.
She understood very well that if her father passed away, there would be no possibility for Li Tao to come out.
So she hurriedly grabbed Li Meng's trouser leg and pleaded, "Let my brother out! Now Lin Qi is gone. If my brother is gone, then... I will really be alone! Father, you have never cared about us before, and you have never cared about what we do. Why now..."
"Please, Li Tao is the only one willing to protect me now. If you keep him locked up, who will I tell if I'm in danger in the future?! Should I tell you? Have you ever cared about my affairs? If it weren't for Ling Tian, Lin Qi, you wouldn't have agreed! Father, please!"
As Li Qian spoke, a tear fell down.
After all, at this moment, she could guess that she would be isolated and helpless in the future and no one would help her.
Although my brother is sometimes stupid, sometimes he will want to protect me indiscriminately.
But Li Qian knew in her heart that he did this to protect himself.
If he doesn't care about himself, will he care about the people around him?
of course not!
That's why Li Qian was so anxious, fearing that after this time, there would be no one around her!
Lin Qi is dead, and Li Tao is imprisoned again. If his father... wants to retire when he is old, then no one in the entire Li family will be able to help him.
Will Li Tao, who was locked up by his father, be asked to manage the Li family at that time?
Is this something that might happen?
The scene of the Li family slowly disappearing emerged in Li Qian's mind, and her desire to get Li Tao out reached its peak.
Li Meng looked at Li Qian calmly. After a moment, he sighed helplessly and shook his head. "Qianqian, do you know that the Wang family your brother contacted is the murderer who killed Lin Qi? Do you still want to allow your brother to meet with the murderer?"
After hearing this, Li Qian lowered her head, said nothing, and just stared at the ground in a daze.
Just when Li Qian didn't know how to answer, Ling Tian looked at Li Meng and said, "Uncle Li, can I meet with Li Tao? I suddenly have a question I want to ask him."
Hearing this, Li Meng was a little confused, but he nodded: "Okay, he's in the basement, do you want me to accompany you?"
"Not for now. Once I get the answers I want, it won't be too late for you to accompany me."
Ling Tian's words made Li Meng slightly stunned. He wanted to speak, but didn't know what to say.
So he could only watch Ling Tian leave, then looked at Li Qian and said, "After Ling Tian finishes meeting, we will consider your brother's matter."
"Father!" Li Qian looked at Li Meng: "I've already lost Lin Qi, I don't want to lose my brother again!"
"Well, let's talk about it after... Ling Tian meets him."
……
On the other side, Ling Tian came to the basement that Li Meng mentioned. He thought it was a specially built dungeon, but it turned out to be just a small space filled with various daily necessities.
Ling Tian stood at the door, looked inside through the window on the door, then pushed the door open and walked in.
The piercing sound of a door opening made Li Tao turn around in confusion. Seeing that it was Ling Tian, horrible memories flooded back, forcing him to stand up quickly. His eyes were filled with alarm as he asked, "What are you doing here? You, you, you... I'm the eldest son of the Li family. If I die, my father won't let you go!"
Hearing Li Tao's threat, Ling Tian remained silent. He just sat down on a chair in the room, looked around, and said with a smile: "Yes, I feel that this is indeed a good place to calm down."
"You, you, you...what do you mean! What on earth do you want to do?!"
"Don't be impatient~" Ling Tian smiled slightly and pointed at the bed in the room. "Sit down for a while and let's chat. I'm here to chat with you today, not to attack you. Of course, after we finish chatting, I won't be sure. After all, it all depends on whether you are honest enough."
Ling Tian said, narrowing his eyes and staring straight at Li Tao.
The latter seemed to be enveloped by a terrible feeling. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he slowly sat down on the bed, took a deep breath, and a hint of doubt and vigilance flashed in his eyes. He asked: "What do you want to ask?"
"I'm curious about something. Why is it that Li Qian's fiancée always dies mysteriously before getting married?" Ling Tian spoke softly, but his tone carried an irresistible feeling.
Li Tao blinked and shook his head when he heard this: "I don't know either. Everyone says it's a curse, so..."
"Bullshit! That wasn't a curse at all. It was a murder caused by greed in order to keep the family fortune for himself, right?!"
Ling Tian's voice suddenly rose, causing Li Tao to tremble. A flash of panic flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. His voice trembled uncontrollably as he spoke, "I, I, I, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you mean."
"You don't know?" Ling Tian raised an eyebrow. "Then let me give you a simple guess. See if I'm right. You should be the only heir to the Li family. Your sister has never been able to pose a threat to you. After all, a girl will never become the head of the family unless you die."
"However, when your sister found a husband, she suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, the son-in-law of the Li family became the head of the family and controlled the entire Li family. Although this kind of thing doesn't happen often, you are afraid that the son-in-law of the Li family is more capable than you."
Ling Tian stared at Li Tao's reaction the entire time. After a brief pause, he continued, "Similarly, you thought that the Li family's son-in-law might not be too outstanding and would not affect you, but you didn't dare to gamble, because if you lost, the entire Li family would leave you. So... you killed your sister's fiancés, right?"
Ling Tian spoke calmly at the end, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Lin Qi, the Wang family shouldn't have discovered us, but you revealed the news that we left together. And after we left Weicheng, someone has been following us, but we didn't notice, right?"
"If my guess is correct, the person following us... is you! And how did you manage to evade my perception? I'm very curious."
As Ling Tian finished speaking, the panic in Li Tao's eyes became more obvious.
This time, he couldn't hide it any longer. Instead, he slowly raised his head, looked at Ling Tian, and said with a slight smile: "I... am not! You have no evidence, so no one believes you!"
