Even if you belong to a demonic sect, you still have to bring glory to the country.

Chapter 40 I know, my half-brother
If Li Sui doesn't blame Li Ping, then this family reunion will be a happy ending for everyone.

The Li family won't be able to stay long either, mainly because the weather in Xiacheng is currently too hot.

My maternal grandmother, Su Xiuyun, is not in good health. She will stay in the hotel for two days and then return to Fucheng.

They booked a restaurant for lunch, and everyone gathered together for a meal.

Li Shenglai's patience was almost at its limit.

Sitting in the car arranged by the company that the Li family works with, and after finally waiting for his grandmother and the others to get into another car, Li Shenglai expressed his dissatisfaction: "Dad, can't I go play by myself? Do I have to come to eat this meal with everyone?"

He was familiar with Xiacheng, having visited it several times before.

He also has classmates from Xiacheng.

It's summer vacation now, and Li Shenglai's mind has already wandered off to have fun with his classmates.

He added, "And did you know that Brother Wen Shiyi has also come to Xia City?"

"Brother Wen Shiyi? You're calling him that so affectionately!" Li Cheng glared at him fiercely. "Don't you know your aunt doesn't get along with the Wen family? Li Shenglai, if you dare to have any contact with the Wen family, I'll break your legs!"

“That’s my aunt’s business with the Wen family, what does it have to do with me?” Li Shenglai said indignantly, “You know how famous Wen Shiyi is in this circle. It wouldn’t be reasonable for me to come to Xiacheng and not greet him if I saw him.”

Li Cheng angrily said, "You..."

Yang Ningyu quickly interrupted their conversation: "Alright, honey, you know what kind of person Sheng Lai is. He's always bored at these family gatherings. He's always like this at home, isn't he?"

Li Cheng: "The past is the past. This is, after all, our first meal together with this niece. If he doesn't come, how will Mom and Dad feel about Sheng Lai?"

Before Yang Ningyu could speak, Li Shenglai curled his lip and said, "What aunt and cousin? I really don't know if she has something wrong with her head. Why would she give up a good life and come to such a poor place by herself?"

"Look at that neighborhood, it's so poor..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Cheng slapped him on the back of the head: "Shut up! Don't think your aunt has a good temper. If she wants to hit you, don't expect me to stop her!"

Yang Ningyu wanted to offer some advice, but seeing the way Li Cheng and Li Sheng came, she didn't say anything.

Li Shenglai covered the back of his head in dissatisfaction.

Li Lingling watched quietly, without intending to interrupt or offer any advice.

Anyway, her brother has always been a bit slow on the uptake.

got used to.

Li Sui, who was riding in the same car as the elderly Li couple, received a call from Qin Xingzhi.

After the other party transferred the medical expenses they had advanced to Li Sui, they took the opportunity to invite Li Sui to dinner: "I am very grateful to you, Ms. Li, for the car accident. I wonder if you and your friends have time? I would like to invite you to dinner."

Li Sui naturally declined: "No need, no need, Mr. Qin, you're too kind. It's really just a small matter, anyone would have helped."

Qin Xingzhi understood Li Sui's polite refusal and could only regretfully say, "In any case, I really have to thank Miss Li for this."

"You're welcome, you're welcome, you're really welcome!"

"Very well, Miss Li, see you again someday."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Xingzhi on the other end frowned.

His bespectacled assistant and friend, Shi Yanzhi, smiled and said, "They refused?"

Qin Xingzhi did not speak.

Shi Yanzhi continued, "We've also checked the other person's identity. They're just an ordinary passerby. Since they don't need you to treat them to a meal as a thank you, let's just forget about it. Your identity isn't suitable for contacting ordinary people anyway."

Qin Xingzhi suddenly asked, "When a person is in a car accident and on the verge of death, does their brain experience hallucinations?"

Shi Yanzhi raised his head, a hint of hesitation in his eyes behind his glasses: "Your condition isn't that serious this time. The doctor said you just fainted because of the shock and the effects of the medication. You're in good physical condition, so you won't even have any aftereffects. Why would you think that?"

Seeing the doubt on Qin Xingzhi's face, a sense of worry gradually arose in her heart: "What are you thinking? Or did you see something before you fainted?" Qin Xingzhi didn't know what she had seen either.

He initially thought it was a hallucination.

But after he regained consciousness, his memory became clearer and clearer.

He really saw the woman raise her hand.

Although he didn't know what raising his hand meant, the results of the inspection of his car came out.

There was nothing wrong with the car; he accidentally pressed the accelerator because his brain was under the influence of drugs and he was experiencing hallucinations.

The reported situation was just strange.

"Normally, a car shouldn't have made such a collision. The tire tracks were all to the right, but the car body crashed into the tunnel wall to the left."

"It's as if the car was forced to move by some kind of impact."

However, there was nothing in the tunnel at the time, and the left side of the car had not been hit, so there was no force that could have forced the car to move.

They can only inspect the tunnel, but so far they haven't found any problems.

They never even considered involving people.

It was this examination result that caused him to conflict with the scene he saw before he fainted.

This is also what Qin Xingzhi couldn't understand.

Was it a hallucination caused by the drugs, or was it what he actually saw?
Moreover, due to his profession, he intuitively felt that there were other hidden reasons why Li Sui rejected his invitation so quickly.

This was certainly not because he felt he was so charming that Li Sui shouldn't refuse him, but rather because he sensed a hint of unease in Li Sui's voice, a rejection that came too quickly.

After a long pause, Qin Xingzhi said softly, "Yanzhi, don't report to the team yet. Investigate the information of those passersby in your personal capacity, the more detailed the better."

Shi Yanzhi narrowed his eyes.

Without asking any further questions, he simply said, "Okay."

*
Li Sui and his family arrived at the restaurant, an elegant and tranquil Chinese restaurant with private rooms, emphasizing an expensive and sophisticated atmosphere.

It's said to taste exceptionally good; it's a place that Li Sui couldn't afford to visit before.

Before eating, Li Sui went to the restroom.

After washing his hands, he turned and stepped into the corridor, only to bump into Zhou Jiao and Wen Shiyi chatting as they walked by.

When Zhou Jiao saw Li Sui, she was somewhat surprised: "Li Sui?"

The moment Wen Shi saw Li Sui, he felt a sense of tension.

He already knew that the Li family had come to Xia City, but he didn't know if the Li family had told her about the Wen family.

Li Sui was also a little surprised: "Teacher Zhou, you're eating here too?"

“Yes.” Zhou Jiao really didn’t expect to run into Li Sui. She glanced at Wen Shiyi. Originally, given her and Wen Shiyi’s status, it seemed unnecessary to introduce Wen Shiyi to Li Sui. But Zhou Jiao thought about it and a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

"Let me introduce you, this is..."

Li Sui sized up Wen Shiyi, and when she remembered that the brat had sent people to follow her, she chuckled.

"I know, he's my half-brother, the second young master of the Wen family."

Zhou Jiao: "..."

Wen Shiyi: "..."

Why don't you follow the usual routine?
