"Secretary Li, you know we wouldn't have brought you here without evidence," Wang Jianfeng said, his tone relatively polite. After all, no one could predict how things would unfold from above.
"Secretary Wang, I've already explained. The first royalty for the 'Zhou Dynasty Chronicles' was ten thousand. At that time, the house at Lido Water View cost a hundred thousand, and the renovations were another fifty thousand. I anonymously donated thirty thousand to the Jiangdong Province Red Cross Society. The royalties after that, which amounted to over a hundred thousand, were all declared by me."
Li Hao's mental fortitude was clearly stronger than Lin Xiao's; he had repeated this statement dozens of times already.
Lin Xiao and I are in a romantic relationship; it’s mutual. You can ask Lin Xiao about it. Li Hao believed in Lin Xiao. The reason I gifted her a house is that I love her. In the future, she will be my wife and the mother of my children; I have no reason not to treat her well.
The money given to Dong Kai was from me; he was soliciting bribes. I needed to protect the project, and the money came from my personal funds.
Dong Kai said you did it to protect Lin Xiao, but later you assaulted her. Was giving her the house just to placate her? Wang Jianfeng pressed further.
If Lin Xiao says I assaulted her, then I’ll accept it, Li Hao thought, a surge of anger igniting within him. He never expected Lin Xiao would get dragged into this.
Wang Jianfeng felt helpless as well; Li Hao had been investigated for over ten days now. Aside from the two thousand dollars, there truly seemed to be no issues.
After all his time with the Disciplinary Committee, he had only uncovered one official without any issues regarding personal conduct or finances.

In Beijing Shangyang City, Li Boshan faced a furious outburst from Li Laoyezi, who threw his teacup directly at him.
Li Boshan had never felt such regret before; he had never imagined that the gentle and charming Jia Lu was actually a political adversary hunting him down.
She had transferred everything she had said and done to the other side while keeping secrets from him, using his own actions against him.
Li Boshan had never felt so disheartened; they had a daughter together—how could Jia Lu be so heartless?
He never considered why a girl in her twenties would like him—what could she possibly see in him aside from his power?
Now, not only had others seized control over him, but they also held his son hostage.
In the stillness of the night, Li Boshan concluded his thoughts for the sake of the Li Family Reputation and for Li Hao.

When Lin Xiao saw the caller ID, her hands trembled violently. "Lin Xiao, come downstairs now; I'm waiting for you at the entrance."
Lin Xiao grabbed her phone and rushed outside, anxiously watching the elevator numbers flicker as she wished she could teleport downstairs immediately.
When Li Hao saw Lin Xiao rushing towards him, she dove into his car and collapsed onto the back seat beside him, crying out, "Are you okay?"
"My father has passed away; come with me," Li Hao replied, his face pale and his condition far from stable.
When he emerged from the Provincial Discipline Inspection Commission, his mother was already waiting for him in the car.
He insisted on bringing Lin Xiao along without taking a detour.
"How could this happen?" Lin Xiao exclaimed in shock, her voice trembling as she asked.
"We'll talk when we get there," Li Hao said, pulling her into his embrace and gently patting her back.
It was only then that Lin Xiao noticed Professor Sun sitting in the passenger seat.
The three of them fell silent.
By the time they arrived in Shangyang City, the yard was filled with wreaths, and people were coming and going, whispering quietly without any cries of grief.
When Lin Xiao saw Grandpa Li and Grandma Li again, tears streamed down her face at the sight of her once-vibrant grandfather now hunched over as if all his strength had been drained away.
Grandma Li was already bedridden.
Lin Xiao looked at Professor Sun, who wore the same cold expression as ever, as if the world around her had nothing to do with her husband.
