Chapter 306: 306, doubts, there must be a problem
Song Qinghuan felt there was definitely something off.
However, she didn’t voice it, pretending that she knew nothing, She merely smiled and sat next to Li Wei.
Li Xiaoyi poured two glasses of water and sat across from them, asking, “How has Li Wei been doing recently? Is she still with Times Group? How is it that she suddenly came to our little place?”
Li Wei glanced at Song Qinghuan. After getting her approval, she gently responded, “No, I’ve already left Times Group. I’ve specifically come here today to find you and ask you about Director Yan.”
“Director Yan?” Li Xiaoyi was taken aback, seemingly caught off guard by the fact that Li Wei was asking about Yan Pingdan.
But he soon regained his composure, “When I first left, I kept in touch with old colleagues, so I know about Director Yan’s situation. To be honest, I didn’t expect that he would do such a thing.”
As he spoke, his face was full of disappointment and disdain.
Li Wei immediately retorted, “Director Yan is not like that, he’s been wronged.”
Li Xiaoyi innocently replied, “I wouldn’t know about that, Li Wei. I know you’ve had feelings for Director Yan, but now that the news is out, you should face reality and not let your emotions cloud your judgement.”
Li Wei bit her lip, her face a little infuriated, but she didn’t rush to explain.
That’s because Song Qinghuan tugged at her sleeve, her obvious hint was clearly understood.
She regained her composure and then spoke, “Li Xiaoyi, you should know what kind of person Director Yan was when you were still with the company. Do you think he could have done this?”
Li Xiaoyi scratched his head, his honest face filled with confusion, “I wouldn’t know. People can be misleading, it’s hard to tell.”
It was clear that he didn’t believe in Yan Pingdan’s innocence.
Li Wei was about to add more, but Song Qinghuan tugged at her sleeve again. They weren’t here to convince Li Xiaoyi of Yan Pingdan’s innocence.
They still saw Li Xiaoyi as a suspect, after all.
Li Wei bit her lip, then addressed the matter at hand, “Li Xiaoyi, I came today to ask you whether there were any issues with some of the files you handled before you left?”
Song Qinghuan had been intently watching Li Xiaoyi all this while, not missing any change in his expressions.
Although Li Xiaoyi’s expression remained calm and his voice was flat as he stated “there was never any problem with the files. Director Yan himself signed everything. I couldn’t foresee any issues,” Song Qinghuan noticed his hand at his side unconsciously clenching.
Song Qinghuan slightly narrowed her eyes, the suspicion in her heart growing heavier.
Her bright eyes flickered and she suddenly came up with an idea.
“Tao Wenliang, the CEO of Times Group, died in a car accident in Xiamen. The police said it might not be as simple as an accident and could be an intentional murder.” Her voice was soft, but each word weighed a thousand pounds, sinking heavily into Li Xiaoyi’s heart. no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
Li Xiaoyi was visibly startled, and stammered, “What did you say?”
However, he regained his composure almost immediately, sighing, “What a terrible misfortune!”
Then, his eyes reflected a sharp light as he took a skeptical look at Song Qinghuan.
Li Wei started to speak again, but Li Xiaoyi interrupted her, “Li Wei, I have things to attend to today. How about I invite you and your friend to dinner tonight?”
“This…”
Li Wei clearly didn’t want to leave, but Song Qinghuan stood up with a smile, “Alright, thanks Li Xiaoyi!”
