Hearing what Lin Li said, Su Lan looked at him, somewhat surprised.

"With Qin Lang's condition, do you really think there's a way to cure him?"

Lin Li thought for a moment and did not hide anything.

"If it were anyone else, it really might not be possible."

"But this time, I'm planning to ask Ning Yurou to handle it personally."

When she heard that Lin Li intended to seek out Ning Yurou, Su Lan nodded.

Indeed, in Jiangcheng, if anyone could help Qin Lang, it would probably be Ning Yurou. As for Ye Aotian, there was no need to even consider him. The fact that he hadn't killed Qin Lang was already a miracle; expecting him to help treat Qin Lang was out of the question. Besides, after Qin Guosheng's death, the entire Qin family was thrown into chaos, and they certainly wouldn't care for the family as a whole.

"This matter will be left to you, then. As we discussed before, Qin Lang is still important."

"But this boy has made many mistakes, so even if he is saved, he must be strictly monitored. We absolutely cannot let him cause any more trouble."

Previously, because of Qin Guosheng's indulgence, Su Lan could not intervene in many affairs. But now things were different. Without Qin Guosheng, her perspective and understanding of many matters had completely changed.

After talking with Su Lan for a while, Lin Li left the villa.

He then called Leng Ningxue.

"How are things on your end? Ye Aotian shouldn't suspect anything, right?"

As soon as Lin Li got through, he eagerly asked.

This incident involved many secrets. If Ye Aotian were truly suspicious, it would certainly affect their future decisions.

"Don't worry, Ye Aotian hasn't even considered that this was deliberately set up by us. He even thinks it's all thanks to his own brilliance."

Without the aura of lowered intelligence, the protagonist's actions often appeared foolish to others.

"I've managed to stabilize things on the Qin family side for now. Once the in-laws join forces with you, it'll make many matters much simpler."

"But there's still one issue I need your help with."

Leng Ningxue asked,

"With the Qin family's cooperation, I'm confident we can take action on many fronts."

"But is there anything you need help with right now?"

Lin Li thought for a moment, then explained the current situation of the Qin family.

"If we want to solve this problem, we must bring Qin Lang back to life."

Getting Ning Yurou to help was no easy task. Even Leng Ningxue wasn't fully confident; not to mention Ning Yurou's cunning nature—if she did anything underhanded in secret, it would be disastrous.

"Is it really necessary?"

Lin Li sighed at this point. If he had a choice, he wouldn't choose Ning Yurou.

"You know that in Jiangcheng, Ning Yurou is the most skilled doctor."

"Of course, I know she may have some demands, but it doesn't matter—you just leave this to me."

"All you need to do is arrange a meeting with her."

Leng Ningxue agreed.

After all this was done, Lin Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The next steps would certainly be much easier. As long as everything proceeded methodically, Lin Li could ensure success.

Meanwhile, Zhou Huaji and Qiu Bisheng met in private.

They were unaware that Lin Li had already discovered their meeting.

At that moment, Zhou Huaji and Qiu Bisheng were in a very secluded teahouse.

"There must be something suspicious about Qin Guosheng's death."

"Given his cautious nature, there's no way he'd fall for such a trap. If you ask me, it could be that woman Su Lan who secretly murdered him."

Qiu Bisheng stared intensely at Zhou Huaji and spoke in a low voice.

Zhou Huaji furrowed his brow.

By all logic, Qin Guosheng shouldn't have been so easily dealt with. So there must be secrets they didn't know about.

But the problem was, they knew too little and had no concrete evidence.

Naturally, they couldn't uncover the truth.

"Our dear sister-in-law's performance today was truly impressive. So what you say isn't impossible."

"But without evidence, we're powerless."

Their gazes became more resolute.

"My suspicion is right. That woman has had issues with Qin Guosheng before. Now, finding ways to kill him isn't out of the question. And I even suspect Lin Li played a part."

Qiu Bisheng looked at Zhou Huaji in surprise, still somewhat reluctant to believe it. After all, Lin Li had followed Qin Guosheng for so many years. Moreover, Qin Guosheng had exerted strong psychological control over Lin Li, making the young man extremely loyal.

It didn't seem plausible that Lin Li would strike.

"Zhang Fengwei is dead."

"You know he was always Qin Guosheng's secret weapon against Lin Li—a way to control him."

"But guess who he met before he died?"

At Zhou Huaji's words, Qiu Bisheng looked at him curiously.

"Luckily, I had people planted there, so I found out the truth. Otherwise, we'd have been deceived."

"That day he met with Lin Li, and then was killed. Do you think perhaps he discovered some secret about Lin Li, so Lin Li silenced him?"

The two exchanged smiles, as if they had grasped something crucial.

Meanwhile.

Lin Li had learned from his subordinates about the private meeting between the two, which confirmed his suspicions.

These two certainly wouldn't believe Lin Li's words.

They would try every possible way to uncover the truth.

But finding any leverage against Lin Li would be extremely difficult.

"Keep watching these guys closely. I'm curious what tricks they'll try next."

Upon learning of their movements, Lin Li wasn't angry; instead, he let out a cold chuckle.

These men were far too arrogant.

They thought they'd found the truth, but soon they'd realize what they knew was nothing but a joke.

"Now it's time to start tightening the net. I hope you don't disappoint me."

Lin Li murmured, squinting his eyes.

For now, he still had a chance.
