Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1178: You Can’t Stop Any of This

Ledger.

The two words made Tang Li raise her head.

Her gaze landed precisely at the foot of the hospital bed.

Tang Li also saw half a laptop.

Inside the inner room of the ward, only Li Hao was present.

The voice came from the laptop.

Realizing Li Hao was on a video call, Tang Li recalled when Li Ruan had informed her — Isa had a lover who was responsible for managing the accounts.

Li Ruan had mentioned at Yunqi Villa that Li Hao planned to capture Isa in late October and wanted her to go to Nanwa to steal the ledger.

Thus, Tang Li became particularly sensitive to the word ’ledger’.

The woman’s voice sounded anything but young.

This detail matched Li Ruan’s previous description.

If Li Hao and the woman were transacting, obtaining the ledger wouldn’t be difficult. Even if they couldn’t get the original, obtaining a copy would suffice.

As for the child the woman was mentioning, Tang Li was guessing who it might be, when Li Hao replied, "That child is no ordinary person. They’re always escorted by bodyguards, the only place to act is at school."

"If you’ve looked into that school, you’d know how tight the security is. To secretly transport a child to Nanwa requires a meticulous plan."

"I think for you, kidnapping someone should be easy as pie."

The woman clearly doubted Li Hao’s sincerity.

Li Hao said, "For someone else, it would indeed be much easier."

"I stand by my word," the woman said, "When you bring the child to me, the ledger will be in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Tang Li was certain the opposite person was indeed Isa’s mistress.

"Three days."

The woman gave a deadline: "I need to see that child in three days at the latest."

With that, the woman ended the video call.

Tang Li was hesitating whether to quietly leave the ward or wait there for Li Ruan when Li Hao spoke, "Since you’re here, come over."

"..." So, Li Hao had known she was there all along.

With the conversation reached this point, Tang Li walked straight in.

Li Hao closed the laptop, looked at Tang Li, and smiled slightly: "You’re here?"

Tang Li asked: "Who’s the child you want to kidnap?"

Li Hao didn’t disclose, only saying: "Unless you become the heir of the Li Family, deciding to bear the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the Li Family, otherwise, even if we are the closest of kin, there are things I cannot let you know."

Li Hao said this, confident that she wouldn’t devote herself to the Li Family.

"To obtain the ledger, using a child’s kidnapping as leverage, this kind of unscrupulous behavior is typical of the Li Family’s way?"

Tang Li thought Li Hao was already cold enough to his family.

Didn’t expect he’d also implicate the innocent.

Behind each child, there’s a family.

Sending people to kidnap a child means destroying the happiness of several generations.

"What’s the difference in your actions compared to Isa and his likes?"

Li Hao responded, "That child is in fact related to them, has been fostered by someone else all these years. Sending the child to Nanwa is also to reunite them with their grandparent."

Tang Li didn’t believe this.

If they were true family, why involve the child in danger?

When Li Ruan entered the ward, Tang Li still couldn’t extract the child’s identity from Li Hao.

With the hair sample taken, Tang Li no longer stayed at the hospital.

As she was about to leave, Li Hao spoke, "That child lives in country D, is a Chinese expatriate, and the adoptive parents are from country D. Even if I tell you all this, you wouldn’t find him, let alone — stop all this."

Tang Li truly was powerless.

Especially since the child is far away in country D.

She didn’t expect Li Hao to have a change of heart, "Do as you please."

With that, she turned to leave.

Just outside the ward, her cellphone vibrated.

It was Song Jingtian’s WeChat call.
