On the agreed day, Leng Yan received a call from Li Ran in the morning.
"Mr. Leng, I am in country M now. I will fly back immediately. The investigation of the matter is almost complete."
"Okay." Leng Yan was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Li Ran to make a special trip to Country M. He added, "Be safe, I'll wait for you."
"Mr. Leng," Li Ran looked at the document bag in his hand, "I will go to the villa to find you immediately after landing. You...be mentally prepared."
"Okay." Leng Yan hung up the phone and actually felt a slight discomfort in his heart.
He looked at the date and saw that the divorce case would be heard in two days. He somehow felt that it was too late.
This day, Leng Banquet felt longer than ever before. He put down all work and went back to his old house to play with Chen Bingbing and Xiao Yuan for a long time before preparing to go back to the villa and wait.
Chen Bingbing asked doubtfully, "Don't you have no work today? Why are you so anxious to go back? Why don't you spend more time with your children?"
Since having little Yu'an, Chen Bingbing, who was once the most powerful woman in the workplace, seems to have changed a lot. She has begun to pay attention to family relationships, and she always complains that Leng Yan only remembers work and spends too little time with her son.
"There is something very important." Leng Yan put his coat on his forearm, waved to Xiao Yu'an, and strode away.
He had a hunch that what Li Ran brought back would definitely surprise him.
After returning to the villa, Leng Yan felt inexplicably irritable. This was his and Lin Yu's home. After Lin Yu moved away, he came back only a handful of times.
"Sir, I'm back." The servant Wang Yun has become the only resident of this villa most of the time.
"Yes." Leng Yan casually handed the coat to Wang Yun, "I'm staying here tonight, you can pack it up and go back."
"Oh, okay." Wang Yun immediately packed her things and left quickly.
Leng Yan changed into a set of comfortable home clothes and sat down in the living room. He checked the flight to country M. The earliest arrival was at eight o'clock in the evening, which was still four or five hours away.
It seems that he has indeed come back early. What is he waiting for?
Leng Yan felt that he already knew the answer. He got up and walked around the garden again. In the middle, Lin Meizhi called him and asked if he wanted to have dinner together.
"No, I have something to do today, let's wait another day."
"good."
Lin Meizhi doesn't seem to be so clingy to him lately, as if everyone is waiting for the day when he and Lin Yu will actually divorce.
Watching night fall, it was soon eight o'clock.
Leng Yan returned to the living room. It would take at most forty minutes to get here from the airport, and he would be able to see Li Ran soon.
However, he waited until nine o'clock and Li Ran didn't show up. This was not Li Ran's style. Even if he was late because of traffic jam, he would definitely say hello in advance.
Leng Yan had a bad feeling. He called Li Ran but couldn't get through.
He checked the flight again, and there was another flight at ten o'clock. He thought that maybe Li Ran took the next flight.
However, until 12 o'clock in the morning, Li Ran still did not show up and the phone could not be reached. Leng Yan knew that something had happened.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Leng Yan, who had stayed up all night, finally received a call. It was Li Ran's father.
"Are you Mr. Leng? I am Li Ran's father, Li Hongxing." The old man's voice was choked with sobs and there was a lot of noise around him. "Li Ran was in a car accident."
Leng Yan immediately held the phone tightly and asked, "Where are you?"
"We are at the funeral home." Li Hongxing said while crying, "Mr. Leng, don't get me wrong, we Li Ran have been with you for so long, and you are good to him and our family. I called..."
The old man almost burst into tears, "Before he went abroad, he said he wanted to do something very important for you. I'm afraid you won't find him in a hurry."
"I'll be there right away!" Leng Yan hung up the phone and immediately drove to the funeral home.
The police were there and asked some questions to Li Hongxing and others. Seeing Leng Yan coming, they asked Leng Yan some more questions.
The accident occurred after Li Ran left the airport. It was a serious car accident. The entire car was burned to ashes. Li Ran's body... was almost unrecognizable. The police found the name of the car owner Li Ran through the license plate and later contacted him. His father Li Hongxing.
"Whether the person in the car is Mr. Li Ran," the policeman said in a heavy voice, "We are not sure yet. I will notify you as soon as the DNA test results come out."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Police." The two old men were immersed in the pain of losing their sons, because they knew that the person in the car should be Li Ran.
Before Li Ran came back, he called Leng Yan and also called them.
The policeman looked at Leng Yan again, "As for what Mr. Leng said, we will do our best to investigate and return the truth to the deceased and his family as soon as possible."
Li Hongxing and his wife looked at Leng Yan in confusion, "Mr. Leng, is there any secret behind our son's death?"
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry, leave these matters to the police, they will definitely find out." Leng Yan did not say much, "I will transfer a sum of money to Li Ran's account. It is the company's and my personal feelings. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, okay?"
"Mr. Leng, we can't ask for your money." Li Hongxing shook his head and refused, "When Li Ran was at home, he often mentioned you, saying that you valued him very much and that you were a role model for him to learn from. You have been very important to him and our family." Very good, this matter has nothing to do with you and the company..."
"No." Leng Yan couldn't help but feel sad, "This time he went to Country M to help me handle personal matters, not official matters. Now something happened..."
Li Hongxing said, "We understand this. Li Ran is your special assistant and is responsible for some personal matters. The salary you give him is already enough."
Li Ran's mother nodded repeatedly, "What happened to Li Ran is beyond your imagination. We are not unreasonable or greedy people. We really can't ask for this money."
"Okay, if you have any questions or troubles, remember to come to me." Leng Yan decided to put the money into Li Ran's account. This was what he had to do.
Before they left, Leng Yan asked the two elders again, "Please inform me of Li Ran's funeral!"
"Okay, thank you Mr. Leng, you are such a good person." The two old men burst into tears of gratitude.
Leng Yan had almost never heard Li Ran mention his family. He only knew that Li Ran was born in a rural area. He was admitted to the best university in Shencheng completely by himself. Later, he entered the Leng family and got the job of Special Assistant Li little by little based on his strength. Location
Such a person ended up like this.
Walking to the door of the funeral home, Leng Yan called Lin Meizhi, "I'm at the door of the city funeral home. Come and find me now."
"Where?" Lin Meizhi's voice was obviously full of confusion.
"In front of the city funeral home, come here right now!" Leng Yan said and hung up the phone.
