It is not easy for the orphanage to survive after three generations of the Li family's painstaking management, but with the development of the times and the rise in land prices, its survival has become a big problem.

Many developers came to the door, hoping to buy the commercial houses built here, but Li Li's father refused.

Li Li's father was determined to keep this ancestral business, not only to inherit the will of his ancestors, to give homeless children a warm home, but also to leave an ancient memory for the city.

As a result, some developers have played the tricks of throwing paint on the fence of the yard and cutting their wires to cut off the power supply, which is extremely hateful.

But Lao Li still sticks to his post, vows not to move, and the posture of not advancing oil and salt also makes those unscrupulous developers helpless.

It was precisely because of the unpleasant experience that when Li Li's father saw the news of Li Li's distress in the newspaper, he immediately thought that the developer was making trouble.

The developer is knocking on the mountain and telling him to threaten your daughter this time, and it will be your son next time.

Li Li's family has a total of these two children, if they are both dead, the Li family has no future, and the will of the ancestors is impossible to talk about.

It was precisely because of this judgment that Li Li's father decided to compromise and cut out the flesh of his heart, not seeking to make a fortune, but to have peace.

When Chongxu accompanied Li Li and Qiu Xiang to the orphanage, they saw that the elegant and solemn architectural style of the orphanage was in sharp contrast with the surrounding high-rise buildings.

The huge courtyard is like a bright star, embedded in the bland night.

The red wall with ivy interprets the shallowness of the glass building with the breath of spring, and the bauhinia carving on the elegant gatehouse makes people feel as if they heard the music played by the ancients.

The entrance gate is a courtyard of more than 2,000 square meters, and there are six large locust trees that are more than 300 years old, which are said to have been transplanted from the southern mountains when the courtyard was built.

The locust tree is very thick, three adults can be embraced, and the buds of early spring have emerged on the thick branches, and when they are in the middle of summer, they will be full of shade, which is many times better than a fan air conditioner.

Under the mottled shadow of the trees, there were more than a dozen children sliding on the slide and playing in the sand, and the old lady who was taking care of the children saw Li Li coming to the door and hurriedly greeted: "Miss is back?" ”

Li Li nodded at her and told Chongxu, "This is Aunt Sun, she grew up here when she was a child." After becoming an adult, he stayed here to help with the children, and stayed there for more than 50 years. My mom died young, and now she takes care of my dad's daily life. ”

It didn't take long for a white-haired old man wearing reading glasses to trot out of the building, and Aunt Sun kept reminding her behind her, "Master, slow down, you slow down." This old man is Li Li's father, Li Yousheng.

Li Yousheng held Li Li's hand and said excitedly: "Is my daughter okay? Is there anything hurt? If such a big incident happens, you won't tell me a word! I only learned the news by reading the newspaper." ”

Li Li wiped the tears from the corners of his father's eyes and said, "I was just afraid that you would be worried so I wanted to tell you later, but I didn't expect the newspaper to take the lead and publish the matter." ”

"This is big news, it's all over the city, can it not be boarded!" Li Yousheng noticed that Li Li was still following people, and hurriedly said, "Everyone, I'm sorry." I only cared about talking to my daughter and neglected the guests. Come, come in, come in, let's talk. Aunt Sun, make tea for everyone. ”

He brought everyone into his office, and the so-called office is actually his living room, in a space of more than 20 square meters, there is a desk by the window, on the left side of the desk is the single bed where he sleeps, and opposite are two sofas.

After everyone sat down, Li Yousheng smiled awkwardly at everyone, "The room is a little small, forgive me." ”

Qiu Xiang had obviously been here more than once, and he was very familiar with Li Yousheng, so he took the initiative to ask for warmth, and said, "Uncle Li, you are all good, right?"

Li Yousheng replied politely, "What's the matter! Anxious, anxious!" He looked up at Chongxu and the two criminal policemen, and asked, "Who are these?"

Li Li was afraid that her father would know that she was still under the protection of the police, and said, "They are my colleagues. We happened to be running errands nearby, so they followed. ”

Li Yousheng glanced at them a few times, and finally focused his gaze on Chongxu's face, and suddenly realized: "Ah! I remember, you were broadcast on the news, you are a white water knight! ”

Li Li interjected: "Let's get down to business first, you said on the phone that my attack was likely to be related to the developer, do you have any evidence?"

Look at this. Li Yousheng opened the drawer and handed an envelope to Li Li.

Li Li opened the envelope, and the five big words "If you don't leave, your children will die" came into view. She handed the letter to the criminal police, who looked at it for a while and said, "The words are cut out of the newspaper, and there is no way to match the handwriting, we can take it back and try to find fingerprints." ”

Li Li did not have much hope for this. Since the person who made the letter knew that the handwriting was hidden, he definitely did not leave a handle on the fingerprint, and must have worn the corresponding protective gear. She asked Li Yousheng, "Dad, when did you receive this letter?"

"It was just a few days ago. On the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the letter was in the mailbox along with the newspaper of the day. ”

"Then you might as well turn up the monitoring. ”

"We don't have cameras at the door. ”

Qiu Xiang asked, "Didn't I remember that there was one before?"

"The road was widened a few years ago and people demolished, and the new one said that it was installed after the Lantern Festival. ”

"Such a coincidence?" Qiu Xiang glanced at Chongru, saw him look down and pondered, knowing that he also had doubts - from Chinese New Year's Eve to the dragon's head raised for a total of ten days, Li Yousheng received a threatening letter at this time, which shows that the bad guys have either been monitoring here or have long known that the camera will disappear.

"Did anyone contact you after you got the letter?" Li Li felt that his statement was not clear enough, and added: "I mean, has anyone hinted that you will be unfavorable to you?"

"Yes. ”

"Who?"

"Sun Jiasheng of Hengxin Real Estate. He came in person the next day after receiving the threatening letter. ”

Li Li asked, "What did he say?"

"He asked me if I had thought about selling the land, and if I didn't make a decision, it would be too late. In the past few days, Sun Jiasheng has repeatedly appeared this sentence in his mind, and he remembers that the melon is ripe.

"Is it too late?" Chongxu was silent, chewing on the meaning of the sentence repeatedly. It can not only express the consent of "if you pass this village, there will be no such shop", and remind Li Yousheng that he will suffer a loss if he does not sell the land to Hengxin Real Estate, but also can represent intimidation, "If you don't give me the land, you will pay the price of blood." ”

"What exactly does Sun Jiasheng want to express?" The answer is obvious.

The orphanage is located in the core of the high-tech zone, and the land price will not change much, which shows that he is indeed intimidating, but I don't know if his intimidation is just a verbal threat or really action.
