《After Divorcing, She Shocked The World (1)》Chapter 179: Stole the Snow Lotus Fruit
Advertisement
Lin Liguo stole a glance at the video evidence and knew that he couldn't avoid it. He suddenly changed the topic and admitted, "So what if I took it?"
"The Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus Fruit is an extremely rare medicinal ingredient. I took it away because I wanted to keep it for the Old Master to treat his illness!"
"Although his body is slowly recovering, there's no guarantee that he won't encounter any accidents or other complications. With this Snow Lotus Fruit, we can save his life if necessary!"
Lin Liguo deliberately turned the topic to Old Master Li and said in an aggressive tone, "You're simply too heartless!"
"The Li family took you in to stay. The Old Master and Li Nanchen are both so good to you! You have the Snow Lotus Fruit, but you wanted to give such a precious medicinal ingredient to someone else to use. You didn't take the Old Master into consideration. If I hadn't secretly kept it, the Snow Lotus Fruit would probably have been crushed into medicine by now!"
Seeing that Lin Liguo was targeting Wu Mei, Sheng Hongfei was naturally willing to chime in, "That's right! You're still trying to find the thief in such an exaggerated manner..."
"Don't tell me that you're treating the Li Family as your territory? Even if it's renting a place to stay, people still have to pay for the room."
"It's just a small fruit. So what if you take it as paying rent to the Old Master? How petty!"
Seeing that they were on the same boat, Wu Mei did not want to embarrass Old Master Li and could only go along with Lin Liguo's words. "I treated Bi Fang with the Snow Lotus Fruit because I wanted him to recover quickly. Only then can he help Grandpa carry out rehabilitation training."

"Bi Fang is the Li family's private doctor. He's the person who understands Grandpa's health the best."
"A while ago, when Grandpa was at his weakest, he was suddenly plotted against and nearly lost his life..."
Wu Mei cast a side glance at Lin Liguo's face and deliberately slowed down her tone as she said, "How can it be such a coincidence?"
"Everyone knows that you and Bi Fang don't like each other. If Bi Fang gets injured, you seem to be the one who stands to gain in the end?"
Panic-stricken, Lin Liguo opened his mouth to explain, but the words that were about to come out of his mouth turned into stammering and he could not say anything!
Wu Mei raised her eyebrows slightly and lowered her head to fiddle with her nails. She stared at the surveillance video on the phone screen and pretended to be enlightened as she thought of the key point. She clapped her hands lightly and said, "I wonder if the surveillance video captured what happened at the intersection the day Bi Fang was injured."
"If someone deliberately harmed Bi Fang, based on the severity of his injuries at that time, the culprit will probably spend the rest of his life in jail!"
Lin Liguo's expression changed drastically. His lips were so pale that he could not stand properly.
How could he still care about arguing with Wu Mei about the Snow Lotus Fruit? His mind was filled with thoughts of the mysterious person from that night. Back then, that person had threatened him with the surveillance video of that night through the email and phone. Now, Wu Mei has brought it up again. Was she the person who had pushed him into the pond?
Lin Liguo secretly observed but could not make up his mind. However, he did not dare to provoke Wu Mei rashly again and could only give up for the time being.

Seeing Lin Liguo cowering in fear, Sheng Hongfei glanced at him in disdain. Instead, she incited Old Master Li, "Aiyo, look at Wu Mei. She's really amazing. She can act like she's the mistress of the Li family and scold whoever she wants."
"You're still sitting here. Even if there's something wrong, it's not her place to point fingers!"
Sheng Hongfei's eyes darted around. She wanted to continue speaking, but Li Nanchen slammed the teacup onto the coffee table with a dull thud.
He wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief. His gaze landed on Sheng Hongfei and the people from the Li family's second branch. He kindly reminded them, "Second Aunt, it's the weekend tomorrow."
"It's about time for you guys to go back overseas. As for the Li Family, you don't have to worry about it."
Li Nanchen's words rendered Sheng Hongfei speechless. Her face turned red and she wanted to argue.
However, Old Master Li leaned on his walking stick and interrupted everyone's conversation. He stared at the second branch with his old but shrewd eyes and said slowly in an old but deep voice, "Since we discussed this beforehand, quickly go and pack up and leave as soon as possible."
"It's quite peaceful in the villa without you guys around."
"It's so noisy every day now. It's annoying..."
Old Master Li's direct order to chase them out made Sheng Hongfei furious. Her eyes were filled with bitterness as she glared fiercely at Li Nanchen and Wu Mei, blaming them for everything..
