Still a tone that accommodates her.
It seems that whether to move or not, it all depends on her own wishes.
But Tang Li also heard from Song Baiyan’s words that Song Baiyan wanted her to move back, but he didn’t use a commanding tone, obviously not wanting to force her.
Tang Li did not answer imdiately.
Gripping the chopsticks, she asked Song Baiyan in return, "Are you busy later?"
Song Baiyan extended his right hand and tossed the dinner plate aside, the gaze on Tang Li’s face conveyed warmth and, as always, tolerance: "Acting all mysterious, is there sothing important you want to tell ?"
Implying that he’s not busy.
Tang Li stood up and first went to lock the dining room door.
Returning to her seat, she looked back at Song Baiyan without avoiding: "The Ruan from the Northern Myanmar Village might be a collateral relative from my grandfather’s side."
Song Baiyan’s action of sipping tea paused, he looked up at Tang Li again, his expression still gentle: "He ca to see you?"
Tang Li nodded.
She took out the family photo Ruan gave her last night and pushed it across the table to Song Baiyan.
"Ruan told , my grandfather is the brother of Yuan Qin’s forr pri minister, Li Hao."
Song Baiyan picked up the photo, recognizing Li Hao without needing to scrutinize it.
Although Li Hao has withdrawn from politics, the Li Family remains the most prominent rchant family in Chiang Mai Prefecture.
Moreover, the current governor of Chiang Mai Prefecture, Supa, is also a collateral relative of the Li Family.
And Li Hao’s uncle was once appointed as the Commander-in-Chief of Siase’s navy, army, and air force.
"Ruan said my grandfather was always an undercover agent for Siase."
Li Ruan told her family history, Tang Li wasn’t planning to hide it from Song Baiyan: "Back then, my grandfather and Sang Bo had a deal that Li Hao intended to use to arrest Sang Bo, but changes occurred later, and the situation developed beyond his control, resulting in the deaths of my grandfather and Li Hao’s son."
Song Baiyan put down the photo and heard Tang Li say: "The written proof of my grandfather being an undercover agent was destroyed by the Siase military during the chaos twenty years ago."
"Did Ruan co to the manor to find you?"
"Yes."
If Li Ruan is her cousin, then he is also a ’big brother-in-law’ to Song Baiyan.
Since they are relatives, there’s no need to avoid so much.
Therefore, Tang Li chose to speak the truth.
"He ca to see last night, and later Yuan Qin knocked on the door, so he left."
Regarding Isa, Tang Li also laid it all out: "Li Hao’s only son died at the hands of Isa, and Ruan has been lurking beside Kun for many years just to apprehend Isa and bring him to justice."
After a pause, she added: "If Isa is brought back to Siase for trial, my grandfather’s identity might be restored."
Song Baiyan’s gaze returned to Tang Li’s face: "Ruan talked so much to you, he must be hoping for you to do sothing."
Tang Li did not expect Song Baiyan to guess right away.
She truthfully said: "Li Hao wants to go beside Isa and steal a few account books."
But she didn’t plan to follow Ruan’s plan.
At that mont, Song Baiyan picked up the cellphone on the table and stood up, walked to the window as if replying to soone’s ssage, and when he returned, Tang Li didn’t continue speaking.
Song Baiyan sat back at the dining table and also asked her: "Are you planning to go back to Siase with Ruan?"
Tang Li did not deny it.
A trip to Siase is unavoidable.
At present, it is only a matter of ti.
She has to personally go to Chiang Mai Prefecture to figure out everything about her grandfather.
"Wait for Ruan to co find again." Tang Li said, "Last night he left in a hurry, after verifying what he said is true, we’ll talk about other things."
As Tang Li spoke, she couldn’t help but look at Song Baiyan: "If I go to Siase, will you be unhappy?"
"What’s there to be unhappy about." Song Baiyan picked up the teacup, then put it down again, "Since the roots of the Tang Family are there, going for a trip, recognizing so Li Family relatives, is justifiable."
At this mont, the more noble Song Baiyan seed, the more it contrasted with her rotten nature.
The things she had to do did not consider Song Baiyan.
If she took Song Baiyan into consideration, she wouldn’t want to deal with the Li Family’s affairs.
But reason tells her that she cannot live only for herself.
If she decides to let her grandfather suffer injustice and remain unvindicated, one day she will suffer a backlash, and this suffering will be reflected on Song Baiyan, possibly affecting the entire Song Family.
Tang Li pulled back the chair and ca beside Song Baiyan.
At this ti, the more explanation, the more it would be a cover-up.
Tang Li crouched beside Song Baiyan’s legs, her hands climbing onto Song Baiyan’s knees, she looked up and promised: "I will co back safely."
Song Baiyan looked at the little girl leaning at his feet, unchanged from a year ago, yet with more resilience, this kind of growth was imrsed in the daily, even without him by her side, she could make a decision, just as she did in Northern Myanmar.
He raised his left hand and touched Tang Li’s forehead: "You still know to co back, at least you’re not heartless."
At the sa ti, the State Guesthouse.
Li Ruan left Hong Tai’s room and returned to his own place.
Hong Tai’s visit this ti, staying for a total of three days in S country.
Tomorrow afternoon is the departure.
If he wants to see Tang Li again, it can only be tonight.
Closing the standard room door, Li Ruan was still thinking about Hong Tai’s words, Hong Tai has a private jet, but he can’t casually take an S country person across borders, so tomorrow when he leaves, Tang Li definitely cannot go along.
The phone rang.
It’s Li Hao’s video call.
Li Ruan was about to answer, when there was a knock at the door outside.
A gentle female voice followed: "Room service, I’m here to deliver your freshly laundered clothes."
Putting down the phone, Li Ruan walked to the hallway.
However, just as he grasped the doorknob, the sound of four or five quiet breaths outside made him hesitate to open the door.
He thought of the man who shook hands and conversed with Hong Tai in front of the dia.
Li Ruan retreated to the room, taking his phone and two passports, and quietly opened the window, he was staying on the second floor, almost without hesitation, he jumped down.
However, just as he landed, he was kicked hard on the butt.
Li Ruan: "..."
Considering Li Ruan might co back to her, Tang Li didn’t stay overnight in Tan Palace, after lunch she returned to the manor.
Seeing Yuan Qin who ca to pick her up with a bruised face shocked her a bit, especially his right eye socket seed like it was punched, and his lips were bruised as well.
In the car, Yuan Qin replied: "Fell while picking persimmons at midnight."
Tang Li pointed at his eye socket, Yuan Qin explained again: "The persimmon dropped down and hit it."
Thinking it was her own request to pick the persimmons, Tang Li felt unreasonably guilty, only reminding him to rember to go to the hospital.
The sedan drove away, He Wei entered the west wing office area.
Song Baiyan saw Li Ruan personally at after ten p.m.
Although he was bound, he hadn’t left the State Guesthouse, just transferred to another building, his fractured left arm had been treated by dical staff and was in a cast in the afternoon, and his right hand was cuffed to the bed head.
Soone was always standing guard outside, if he wanted to go to the toilet, he only needed to shout.
——
Tang Xiaoli: Where’s cousin? Why hasn’t cousin co tonight?
Li Ruan: The first day of losing freedom...
Additional update finished, see you tomorrow!
