When Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua signed, they were miserably struggling. They didn't dare to read what was written and were on the verge of a breakdown.
Shu Tian vanished from this world after they signed. There was no trace of this person's identity, let alone her existence and life.
Shu Changlei and Ye Lihua, on the other hand, had truly lost their only daughter.
They were confronted with a terrifying reality. These two fifty-year-olds silently cried, but no amount of tears could alleviate the pain in their hearts.
Following the completion of the formalities, the director turned to face Li Han, who had remained silent. "Mr. Li, is it still necessary to seal the road section?"
The implication was that Shu Tian was gone and that there was no point in continuing the search.
Li Han looked at the director and said solemnly. "The road must be closed until Shu Tian is found."
"Mr. Li, I hope Miss Shu survives miraculously as well, but I don't have the final say in this section of the road." When the director heard this, he responded. "I'm afraid it will be difficult for a long time."
Is it going to be difficult?
Li Han was calm. "So you can't do anything about it?"
"I'm afraid I can't say that either. I understand your concern, but I'm only a director. So I'd be delighted to assist." The director assumed Li Han was willing to relinquish control and quickly said. "You see, the accident happened a long time ago. I've been under a lot of pressure to get this done. I wouldn't have said that if I didn't think there was nothing I could do."
"It's fine." Li Han gave him a gentle nod, as if he didn't mean to blame him. "I'll find someone else to do the things you can't." He said later. "I'm just not sure if you'll be able to get everything you want when you retire in a few years."
The director was scared as soon as he heard Li Han's words. Apart from the material benefits, the most important thing to him at his age was whether he could retire smoothly. After all, many people have been under investigation in recent years. He'd been in a high-ranking position for a long time and worried about his retirement.
But, the director realized that he would not retire smoothly.
The director was so terrified that he stood up and made a loud noise by moving his chair. "Mr. Li, it's possible to talk about it. It's difficult to do it on the spur of the moment, but there's still time!"
The director almost bowed to Li Han as soon as he changed his pretentious demeanor. Given how depressed and out of sorts Li Han was, the director made a request right now and almost forgot Li Han had the resources to make him incapable of surviving.
Li Han only loved and treated Shu Tian gently and treated others indifferently.
Li Han could kill him in under a minute.
"All right, you know, I place a higher value on things like this. Next time, don't make me mention it." Li Han ordered coldly.
Ye Lihua couldn't be a shrew because she wasn't vicious and didn't know how to face the man who her daughter adored.
Even though his eyes were swollen from crying, Shu Changlei took Ye Lihua into his arms and looked at Li Han with great authority. "You owe Shu Tian, not us, and it's not us you should repay. She's gone, and you have no way of repaying her. So let us all live in misery. We will not forgive you because she has passed away, and you will never be forgiven by her."
Shu Changlei never looked at him after that and walked out with Ye Lihua out of the office hand in hand. Outside, Li Han had already directed that people follow the elderly couple, fearing that they would be involved in an accident.
In the office, he and the director were the only ones left. Li Han clenched fists and felt so depressed that he couldn't breathe because of the reality.
He knelt slightly and sorrowfully covered his chest with his hand.
"Mr. Li?" The director screamed worriedly.
Li Han closed and then reopened his eyes. His once-sharp eyes were no longer as bright as they had been. He walked out of the office without saying anything.
He could walk and talk as before, but he had long been defeated by reality and was heartbroken.
The light outside the house fell on his eyelids as he walked out of the police station. Li Han narrowed the tearful eyes slightly.
