Li Da spoke with such conviction that his brother, Li Er, found himself quite satisfied with his performance. Standing off to the side, Li Er observed the scene in silence, curious to see what this woman would ask next.

He harbored a certain jealousy towards Gu Zi, a woman who seemed to have it all. Was it not simply because she was blessed with a beautiful face? She had managed to marry a wealthy man, thus crossing the class divide. She used her husband’s money to open a shop, make headlines, and become famous. She appeared so powerful, yet in reality, she was still reliant on a man. What real talent did she possess?

Others, like him, had to struggle and fight for every step in life. It was truly unfair. So what if they had orchestrated this scheme to make this woman pay? She was so ostentatious and wealthy, it was only right that she should part with some of her money to ward off misfortune. Li Er saw no fault in his actions. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Gu Zi, while listening to Li Da’s words, had noticed Li Er out of the corner of her eye. Through her acquaintance, He Yan, she had learned that it was Li Er who had brought Li Da to the hospital. When they had first entered, He Yan had quietly informed her that the man standing by Li Da’s bedside was Li Er. She could sense a strange hostility emanating from him.

The relatives had caused quite a commotion earlier, their chatter filling the room. However, amidst the noise, they had revealed a crucial piece of information: Li Da had once suffered a fever that had damaged his brain. This explained his apparent lack of intelligence.

If one were to assume that Li Da was lying about being poisoned by the food from Gu Zi’s restaurant in order to extort money, it would be difficult to believe that someone of his intellectual capacity could devise such a comprehensive plan. The hospital had confirmed that he was indeed suffering from food poisoning, which complicated matters.

If one were to assume that the actual victim of the poisoning was not the mastermind behind this scheme, but rather a pawn being manipulated, then it became plausible. The question then was, who could manipulate the victim?

It would have to be someone who knew the victim well and was trusted by him. Li Er, being Li Da’s brother, fit the bill. Gu Zi had also noticed that Li Da would glance at his brother while answering her questions, as if seeking guidance. This suggested that Li Da was heavily reliant on Li Er and often followed his advice.

With this understanding, Gu Zi continued her questioning. “Can you recall if you ate anything else after your meal?” she asked Li Da.
