Jack smiled at her and said, “This is the most advanced lie detector in the world. Believe me, it hasn’t made a mistake once.”
Xia Ling had mixed feelings. It turned out that the real murderer was her own sister. Would Xia Yu feel regretful or guilty if she found out that she actually killed her nephew? No... she would not. In her past life, she used such vulgar terms to attack her sister. Why would she spare her nephew?
Xia Ling’s heart turned cold. She did not expect the sister whom she had gone through so much hardship with would actually murder her precious child. She was unsettled and could not even stand straight. She finally held the seat handle and barely stabilized her shaking body.
“I will help you seek revenge.” Li Lei held her. He knew that comforting words were useless, and only revenge could slightly alleviate the pain in her heart.
“How?” Xia Ling raised her head to look at him.
It was not convenient for him to talk in front of the investigator. Li Lei supported her outside before he spoke. “It’s simple. A life for a life.” His voice was cold. There was a strong indifference in his voice—as if he had killed countless people before without her knowledge.
When he was like that, she felt that he was a little distant but had peace of mind.
However, she said, “I don’t want you to seek revenge for me.”
“Why?” Li Lei lowered his head and looked at her.
Xia Ling said slowly, “If she’s dead, it will be completely over—that’s letting her off too easily. I don’t want her to die silently. I want her to feel the same pain I did when my entire world collapsed and I lost everything.”
Revenge of two lifetimes.
Her past life was her most difficult life. Xia Yu ruthlessly humiliated and mocked her, salting her wounds such that she almost lost the courage to live. She was even crueler during this life as she murdered her baby. That poor child only lived for a hundred days in this world before disappearing forever.
She felt like her heart was stabbed.
She wanted Xia Yu to experience the same pain.
Li Lei was startled at first, but afterward, he smiled. “That’s also good. If there’s something I can do to help, just tell me.” Sometimes, Xiao Ling seemed silly and overly kind. In reality, Li Lei was secretly worried that she would have trouble facing violence and bloodshed after she married into the Li Family because she was too kind.
However, now, he was no longer worried. His Xiao Ling knew when to give in and when to be ruthless. Perhaps the death of her child brought out her courage. No matter what, she already had the ability to survive in the Li Family, so he was pleased.
Xia Ling did not know what he was thinking about. She only said, “I want her crime to be exposed to the world. I want her reputation ruined and for her to be punished by the law.”
“Ruining her reputation is easy.” Li Lei said. “Getting her punished is a little difficult. Have you made a police report? The crime scene is in the Pei Family’s villa, so Pei Ziheng needs to cooperate. If he isn’t willing, even if the police does a forceful investigation, there may be many twists and turns. Furthermore, a lot of time has passed, and the child’s body is already burned. So, they may not find out anything.”
A lie detector could not be used as evidence.
Even if they knew that the murderer was Xia Yu, there was insufficient evidence to arrest her.
Xia Ling was silent for a moment before saying, “We have to try.”
Li Lei accompanied her to the police station to make a police report. As it involved the city’s two greatest powers, celebrities, and someone’s life, the police were alarmed and treated the case very seriously. They went to the Pei Family’s villa for an investigation on the same day.
This incident made Pei Ziheng very unhappy.
“I don’t like it when people barge into my property.” He said indifferently and looked at the police, Xia Ling and Li Lei. “You won’t be able to find out anything.”
Li Lei felt that it was somewhat strange. “Don’t you care that your own child is dead?”
Pei Ziheng looked at him deeply. His lips curved into a mocking smile. After that, he turned around and left.
Xia Ling was horrified by his smile, worried that he would tell the truth in anger. He was such a proud person. Even though he was defeated in business and love, he would not give anyone the chance to strike him when he was down.
As for that child’s identity, he and Xia Ling had a very tacit understanding of the truth.
The police searched the villa, and sure enough, it was futile. The group was a little dispirited as they left. Li Lei comforted Xia Ling. “It’s ok. The investigation takes time. Take it slowly.”
Xia Ling nodded lightly.
However, after more than a month, there was not the slightest progress.
The strength of the Pei Family was recovering. After the period of bad luck, Pei Ziheng’s abilities were not any less than Li Lei’s. In a short time, he regained his commercial empire at a shocking speed. Although he suffered massive damages from the fight, today’s Imperial Entertainment was only slightly inferior to Skyart Entertainment.
However, thanks to The Preceptor, Li Lei was able to take advantage of the increase in luck to become the largest power in the city.
The two forces were evenly matched.
The policeman said to Xia Ling, “We will do our best to solve the case, but Mr. Pei is not cooperating. There are two crime scenes—the baby room and the garbage dump. Due to the destruction, we can’t find any incriminating evidence. Thus, the process of solving the case will be very difficult. You must be mentally prepared for a long term battle.”
Xia Ling was anxious as she looked at Xia Yu’s various jobs and increasing activity in the entertainment industry. She talked and smiled radiantly and looked like she was leading a very comfortable life.
Xia Ling did not watch idly as the murderer of her baby lived happily.
She said to Li Lei, “I want to seek revenge on her in my own way.”
Li Lei was invigorated and asked, “Do you want to dismember her or make her jump down from the deck? I know a friend in international waters that do this sort of business. He can entice Xia Yu out and will ensure that not even her bones are left.” He never killed anyone in the country as grandfather said that it was necessary to maintain a society ruled by law in China.
He always listened to his grandfather. Moreover, his grandfather was old and in his twilight years, so he did not want to disrupt the order that his family had now.
However, Xia Ling rolled her eyes at him. “Entice her to leave the country? Don’t you think that it’s troublesome?”
Li Lei felt wronged. “Part of our ancestral training states that we should not violate the law in the country. If not, why do you think that the Li Family is the greatest Chinese power in the open seas for generations? Besides me, no one is interested in China because they can’t be involved in any illegal business here.”
Xia Ling was dumbstruck by what he said and could not believe there were such hidden facts.
Suddenly, she remembered something. “Then why are so many people afraid of you? They say that you kill people at ease and with frequency. What’s that about?”
