After Li Chunhua left her room, Li Caiyi spent the next two hours writing to calm down her mind properly. She didn't know what she wrote, but she realized she had written quite a lot by the time she finished. Her old habit kicked hard, it seemed.

Her emotions would stabilize when writing, letting her mind become calmer. It felt like she was unleashing all her messy and untangled thoughts into her writing.

Now that Li Chunhua had taken a step for herself, Li Caiyi also needed to think about her next step. Her initial plan was to use her father's affair against him. Still, with the additional evidence in her hand, she felt like Li Jirong's affair was just a grain of salt compared to that.

"That evil and scummy man. He'd better get purged in hell after his death," Li Caiyi muttered grudgefully. She had never had an urge to kill someone so strongly before. Her whole family's misery came from this man, and she had to remove this cancer as soon as possible.

Li Caiyi had the will and evidence, but sadly, she wasn't that smart to navigate her way through this. His father's wrongdoing had gone out of hand, and Li Caiyi found herself stuck thinking about the best way to use every card she had in her hands.

"I think I understand why Gu Xue wanted to break up with that man. He is just far too disgusting and dangerous to be around."

Li Caiyi wasn't that stupid to know that such medical research would require tons of funds and years of research before it actually bore fruit. Looking at Li Chunhua's medical report, this research should have been running for a decade at least. For a group of researchers to gain such a huge fund to make it run this long, there must be a lot of wealthy and influential actors or groups playing behind the scene.

Li Caiyi couldn't imagine what would happen if this evidence was released to the public. It would cause a tremendous uproar and put her sister in the spotlight, exposing her to the world to be judged.

However, that was actually only the minor part of her concern. What would happen if those wealthy and influential groups had their eyes on her sister or her family after that? Would they even let Li Chunhua go, as she was one of their essential test subjects?

With all the power and money at their disposal, the Li family was only like ants waiting to be trampled. If Li Caiyi made one misstep and provoked those people, only God knew if she could survive in one piece or not.

This was why Li Caiyi still made no move to inform Detective Tang yet. He must already know that Gu Xue had successfully completed her task and was probably waiting for her to share the result by now.

"Can I trust him with this?" Li Caiyi bit her nails hesitantly.

Detective Tang was witty and resourceful, but she couldn't deny that he indeed looked a bit shady. She didn't have enough money to shut his mouth if he was actually someone she couldn't trust.

Everything about this had a dangerous smell all over it.

If it was up to Li Caiyi, she would rather keep this fact hidden forever. Not because she was worried about her family's reputation, much less about her father. But as a former Madam Meng, she knew that sometimes only truth and kindness weren't enough to clean humans' corrupt and vile hearts. Especially those who were greedy for fame and wealth.

There was no guarantee anything would change, even if she exposed Li Jirong's involvement in this research. Yes, she could permanently crush her father with that, but at the same time, she also put herself and the rest of the family on the tip of a blade.

From what she read, it seemed her sister wasn't the only test subject in this, and Li Caiyi found herself in a moral dilemma.

There were probably some people out there that could be saved if this evidence came to the light of day.

Li Caiyi wasn't a person with a high sense of justice. She would help only if it didn't bring any risk to people she cared about. She couldn't even save Li Chunhua as of now, how could she afford to think about the others?

However, knowing that didn't make her feel any less conflicted.

"Haah, what should I do? Seriously, this man keeps making trouble." Li Caiyi covered her face with both her hands. That was when her phone vibrated and caught her attention.

It was a message from Detective Tang.

Li Caiyi groaned inwardly. His timing couldn't be any worse.

To be fair, Li Caiyi was the one who told him to report anything to her once he discovered something amiss. However, the current Li Caiyi still hadn't prepared an excellent explanation to make him forget about Gu Xue's second task.

"No, wait. Why should I explain anything in the first place?" Li Caiyi realized a second later. "No matter how powerful he is, he is only someone I hire after all. I have the right to decide which information I should disclose and not!"

Li Caiyi felt stupid to even trouble over it now. Now that he had gained her confidence, she didn't hesitate anymore.

[Detective Tang: Young lady, can we meet somewhere tomorrow?]

Li Caiyi re-read that message again to make sure her eyes didn't play a trick on her. She thought he would hound her to spill about Gu Xue's finding. He might not look like it, but he was actually very gossipy.

[Li Caiyi: Why? If you have something to say, then just say it here.]

[Detective Tang: Can't you make time even for an hour? This is really a matter of importance and secrecy.]

[Li Caiyi: Hmm… Why do I have a feeling you aren't talking about my father's case right now?]

[Detective Tang: Half-correct and half-wrong. What I want to say does have something to do with your father to some extent.]

Li Caiyi contemplated a bit before deciding it wouldn't hurt to meet him for a bit. The last time she met him was the day she confronted Gu Xue, and this was actually his first time asking her to meet up.

[Li Caiyi: Then, let's meet up at the usual cafe at 3 PM tomorrow.]
