Su Qianci was still on the verge of tears, shaking her head. She’d rather not tell them about something she wasn’t certain of. In case they failed to save Li Sicheng, the elders would worry about it for nothing.
Qin Shuhua did not say much when seeing her swollen eyes, and instead asked her to go to bed early, and then returned to the bedroom with her husband.

Li Jinnan returned home, took the laptop out, logged into his social account, and searched for L’s account.
L.
Li?
Li Sicheng?
Li Jinnan’s fingers moved quickly as he sent a short message.
Li Sicheng was processing the file when he caught a glimpse of the change of the code on the screen. He clicked, and there was a message popping up:
[Li3]: Since you can send messages. Why don’t you come back?
Li Sicheng looked at this nickname, Li3. Very much the style of his younger brother.
He gazed at Li Jinnan’s question with his cold eyes, pursed his lips, and then put his fingers on the keyboard. He first typed: the time has not arrived.
However, after thinking about it, he deleted that and replied: safe and sound. No need to worry.
Hearing the sound of high-heeled shoes outside, Li Sicheng’s eyes dimmed, and hit “del”, immediately collapsing the temporary desktop. On the screen, there was only the unfinished documents.
Tang Mengying walked in and saw Li Sicheng working on the document with a smug smile. “Good, Jing Sao, give him his medicine on time tomorrow.”
“Yes, Miss Tang.”
He gazed at her back and his eyes became colder.
Very soon now…
——————————
Li Jinnan saw the message and immediately replied: Where are you?
No response.
Li Jinnan looked at the computer screen, became silent for a long time, took a cigarette, and slowly lit it. Lying on the sofa, his eyes half closed, he began to ponder.
——————————
The contract signing with TL was scheduled on Friday afternoon.
Li Jinnan went there, while Su Qianci could not calm herself down in the office. She couldn’t wait to know what level of confrontation he and Tang Mengying had.
As she was panicking, she received a call from home. Seeing it was from the old house, Su Qianci adjusted her mood and picked it up. “Hello?”
“Mom!” The sweet voice soothed her mood. She couldn’t help smiling and answering.
“Mom, great grandpa said, tomorrow is Saturday.” Li Jianyue’s voice was very sweet and tender, almost melting the heart of Su Qianci.
Su Qianci sat in a chair and stretched, asking softly, “Why is Saturday important?”
Li Jianyue looked at the old man who was gazing at her expectantly with a pair of black eyes and said the line that the old man had already prepared for her, “Ersu wants to go to the amusement park, and Dasu and Brother Mosen also want to go. Can you take us there tomorrow, mommy?”
“Tomorrow…” Su Qianci seems to be considering it. “Does Ersu want to go herself?”
“Er…” Li Jianyue hesitated, looking at the old man who was instructing her on the side.
The old man became anxious and mouthed: Yes, say yes!
Li Jianyue looked torn. She nodded and said, “I want to go, but,…”
The little girl’s “but” made Captain Li panic. He covered his wrinkled face with his hands and couldn’t bear to watch it.
