Chapter 196: Li Yi Has Left

Just as the case was solved, Huang Lixing was in a meeting with Director Zhang from the Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau and Director Wang from the Ning City Party Committee, discussing the matter of donating to the school.

These two had already met with Wang Anguo that morning, though at the time it was to ask him why he had arrested Huang Lixing’s bodyguard.

It was during that meeting that they heard from Wang Anguo that Huang Lixing was planning to donate schools in North Sai Province!

And he planned to donate a hundred of them!

Although Wang Anguo spoke with great conviction, they all found it hard to believe.

After all, they’d met quite a few foreign investors over the past year or two, but whether they were genuine foreign investors or Hong Kong businessmen, they all came here for profit—who would claim to have no ulterior motives and start building schools for you right off the bat?

Moreover, the dxmbang team had previously conducted a thorough background check on Huang Lixing. He was undeniably wealthy, but he was also a man who truly deserved the title of “tycoon.”

The Provincial Investment Promotion Bureau had gone to great lengths to invite him to North Frontier Province.

A man like him is fundamentally driven by the desire to make money off others—there’s no way he’d just throw money away for nothing!

Impossible. Absolutely impossible!

However, during their meeting that morning, Huang Lixing made a request that left them speechless.

He actually said he wanted to put the investment tour on hold for the time being, intending to first visit the counties and townships under Saibei Province to observe the state of education across the region.

He also mentioned that, if necessary, he intended to donate funds to build a number of schools in the province.

Hearing Huang Lixing’s request, everyone was dumbfounded.

Director Zhang from the Investment Promotion Bureau immediately asked Huang Lixing why he had suddenly decided to donate to build schools.

Huang Lixing replied immediately that there were two reasons: one was that a special person had inspired him, and the other was that he wanted to pray for blessings and accumulate merit for his wife and unborn child!

Although Director Zhang expressed skepticism regarding Huang Lixing’s words, he chose to believe him.

At that moment, while reporting the situation to the bureau, he also discussed with his colleagues in Ning City how to arrange the rest of the itinerary.

Just then, there was a breakthrough in Wang Anguo’s case, and he immediately came over to brief the leaders on the situation!

Of course, Wang Anguo had also come to explain the situation to Huang Lixing; as the person directly involved, he had the right to know the truth.

After hearing Wang Anguo’s report, not only did the provincial and municipal leaders break out in a cold sweat, but Huang Lixing was equally stunned!

According to Zhou Yaxuan’s confession, ever since Huang Lixing had kicked her out of the company, she had been biding her time, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on him.

At the same time, to appease her boyfriend A-Long, she concealed the fact that she had deliberately drugged Huang Lixing, falsely claiming that Huang Lixing had raped him while A-Long was away.

A Long never doubted Zhou Yaxuan’s words and immediately came to hate Huang Lixing.

Consequently, the two conspired repeatedly, plotting to kill Huang Lixing.

When they learned that Huang Lixing was planning an investment inspection trip to the inland regions and had even withdrawn a million in cash for the occasion, the two hit it off immediately. They decided to find an opportunity to kill Huang Lixing and steal the money.

However, they never imagined that they would slip up before even making their move, and were ultimately rounded up by the Saibei Provincial Public Security Bureau.

Provincial and municipal leaders were shocked to learn just how perilous Huang Lixing’s trip had been. Had it not been for a routine inspection by the municipal police’s criminal investigation team—which led to the arrest of that terrifying woman—Huang Lixing could have been in grave danger at any moment.

If anything had happened to him in Saibei Province, the consequences would have been unimaginable—it would have been a massive disaster for the Saibei Provincial Government.

If they couldn’t even protect such an important foreign investor, who would dare to come here to invest in the future!

Huang Lixing, meanwhile, was breaking out in a cold sweat. Although he had suspected the truth of the matter after the two were arrested, he never imagined the details would be so terrifying.

Although Ah Long had been kept in the dark by that woman all along, that did nothing to alleviate the danger he and his wife were in.

Fortunately, they had encountered Mr. Li; otherwise, he and his wife might very well have met their end at the hands of those two bastards.

With that thought, Huang Lixing called off the meeting. He immediately apologized to the leaders from Saibei Province and Ning City, then headed straight for Building 3.

He wanted to personally thank Li Yi—this was truly a life-saving favor!

However, to his surprise, when he arrived at Building 3, he was told that Li Yi had already left.

As for where he had gone, the staff at the State-Owned Hotel had no idea.

To be honest, this outcome caught him somewhat off guard.

After all, last night Li Yi had initially presented three conditions, but ultimately only mentioned two; he hadn’t voiced the third one on the spot.

Therefore, Huang Lixing assumed that Li Yi intended to present the final condition to him only after the matter had been resolved.

On his way back, he had been wondering if Li Yi’s third condition might involve seeking revenge!

So on the way here, he was still pondering how much money he should offer Li Yi!

100,000?

500,000?

Or just a million straight up!

After all, he’d have to spend 500,000 just to buy a useful piece of intelligence, and right now, this guy had literally saved his entire family’s lives—offering less just wouldn’t make sense.

However, to his utter surprise, Li Yi simply walked away without even saying goodbye!

Recalling the look of anguish on Li Yi’s face when they spoke yesterday, Huang Lixing finally realized that saving his family had indeed put Li Yi under immense pressure.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt he couldn’t just let this go; he had to find Li Yi and express his sincere gratitude.

Of course, with someone as exceptional as him, it would be best to cultivate a good relationship.

After all, if he could save them once, he might just save them a second time.

So someone of such caliber was truly a rare find!

But he didn’t know much about Li Yi—where should he go to find him?

After much deliberation, Huang Lixing thought of Wang Anguo.

From several conversations with Wang Anguo, he could tell that Wang Anguo and Li Yi had a good relationship.

Moreover, Wang Anguo had mentioned that Li Yi was his brother.

It didn’t matter that he couldn’t find Li Yi himself; Officer Wang would surely know.

Without delay, Huang Lixing took his men to the Municipal Bureau and demanded to see Wang Anguo.

As for Wang Anguo, he was resting in his dormitory when he received word from the bureau leadership that Huang Lixing wanted to see him.

From last night until now, they had been busy making arrests and conducting interrogations. Every member of the team, including Wang Anguo, had been working non-stop for nearly 30 hours and was utterly exhausted.

So, once the case was finally cracked, Wang Anguo was simply too exhausted to bear it any longer and had returned to his dormitory early to rest before his shift even ended.

Despite being dead tired and his eyes bloodshot, he knew that Mr. Huang was a VIP of the utmost importance to both the provincial and municipal governments, and he couldn’t afford to snub him.

With no other choice, he had to drag himself out of bed.

After a quick wash, he headed straight for the office!

The moment he saw Wang Anguo, Huang Lixing cut straight to the chase: “Sir Wang, I’d like to see Mr. Li!”

“You mean Brother Li Yi, right? Isn’t he right there at the hotel?” Wang Anguo said, looking utterly exhausted.

“No, Mr. Li has already left. I don’t know where he is, but you must know, Sir Wang!” Huang Lixing said in a deep voice.

Wang Anguo thought for a moment and said, “I really don’t know where Brother Li Yi is right now, but I know where he lives!”

“Can you give me the address?”

“That’s no problem, but I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to just show up at his place like that!” Wang Anguo said.

“Then how should I go about it?”

“When I stopped by this morning, I happened to overhear Mr. Huang discussing the school visit with our leaders. Mr. Huang could make Nianzishan Village in Hongqi Commune, Qingshan County, the first stop on his tour. What do you think?” said Wang Anguo.

Huang Lixing was no fool; he immediately grasped Wang Anguo’s meaning and burst out laughing: “Thank you for your advice, Sir Wang. If this works out, I’ll be sure to reward you handsomely!”

“No need for a reward. I just hope that, if it’s possible, Mr. Huang will invest more in our area!” Wang Anguo said.

“Alright, I’ll consider it!”

“Mm-hmm!”
