Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1568 Trust
According to Xu Chunliang, the liquor was incredibly bland, but he greatly admired Bailan's skill in mixing liquor with beer, and drank the beer he had prepared in one gulp.

Lee Chang-hee took the wine Bai Lan offered and drank it all in one gulp, then her eyes remained vacant.

Xu Chunliang and Bai Lan didn't care about her. After all, Li Changji needed time to accept this cruel reality. Moreover, her daughter's funeral had just been held today. No one could adjust their mood so quickly.

Lee Chang-hee's cell phone was left in the Mercedes-Benz on Xu Chunliang's advice and is currently unreachable.

Bai Lan and Xu Chunliang toasted each other and said, "I bet the police all over the country are looking for you right now."

Xu Chunliang asked, "What do you want with me?"

Bai Lan glanced at Li Changji: "Tell them you kidnapped the eldest princess of the Lexing Group."

Lee Chang-hee then joined their conversation: "Don't worry, I will explain things clearly."

Bai Lan shook her head: "It's hard to say. There is no justice, no right or wrong in this country. Although you are the eldest princess of Lexing, your father still rules Lexing. Forgive me for speaking frankly, but he doesn't seem to treat you like a daughter."

Li Changji's expression turned cold: "This has nothing to do with you."

Bai Lan said to Xu Chunliang, "Did you see that? You went to great lengths to help her, but she doesn't appreciate it at all."

Li Changji said, "Don't make sarcastic remarks. If it weren't for the Li family, you would have died in the orphanage long ago."

Bai Lan said, "I don't owe the Li family anything. I've already paid back what I owed them."

Xu Chunliang took a sip of liquor; it was a bit spicy. Even two women can have a fight when they're together, but thankfully they weren't fighting for him.

Lee Chang-hee seemed a little angry, picked up the bottle of soju in front of her and drank it all in one gulp: "I don't need your help, I can handle my own affairs."

As she was about to get up and leave, Xu Chunliang spoke up: "How do you resolve this? Will Lexing Group and your Li family stand on your side or on Huang Youlong's side?"

Lee Chang-hee bit her lip and said, "I believe everyone will stand on the side of justice."

Bai Lan said, "You don't understand your family at all, and you don't understand your father at all. It's true that he raised me, but he also trained me to be an assassin."

Lee Chang-hee looked at Baek-ran with a shocked expression; in fact, she had already begun to waver in her faith in her father.

Bai Lan said, “Your father sponsored many orphanages. Almost everyone thought he was a great philanthropist. I used to think so too. He made sure we were fed and clothed, and gave us the opportunity to learn. Some of my friends and I even underwent rigorous training. Later, I realized that he wanted us to serve him.”

Bai Lan's beautiful eyes glistened with tears: "Some people became gifts he used to bribe the powerful and wealthy, some were trained to become cold-blooded killers, and some even had their own organs ruthlessly removed by him."

Lee Chang-hee shook his head: "Impossible..."

Bai Lan said, "I know you weren't involved in his crimes, otherwise I wouldn't have let you off the hook."

Li Changji said, "Given his status and position, he doesn't need to curry favor with anyone."

Bai Lan said, "You also find it strange, don't you? Why would he do this? If you think back carefully, the top management of Lexing has been changing constantly over the years. His old ministers have either retired or died."

Lee Chang-hee knew without recalling that what Baek-ran said was true, but she had never suspected that the deaths of those people were related to her father.

Xu Chunliang said, "Don't forget that your mother also died an unnatural death."

Lee Chang-hee had already sat back down, gripping her wine glass tightly, and said with a pained expression, "His favorite person is my mother, it couldn't be him."

Xu Chunliang asked, "What could possibly make someone so indifferent to the death of their granddaughter? To love their son-in-law even more than their own daughter?"

Lee Chang-hee couldn't answer; it was an unsolvable mystery. In truth, she already had an answer close to the truth in her heart, but she dared not think about it.

Bai Lan said, "The truth may be very cruel to you, but the truth cannot be changed. I tried my best to find two samples of your father. After testing, they did not belong to the same person. In order to confirm my guess, I found samples of your family members. I can conclude that he is not the real Li Bingxing."

Li Changji said, "You mean someone is impersonating my father?"

Bai Lan said, "This matter has nothing to do with me."

“You are indeed quite cunning, deliberately trying to sow discord between my father and me.”

Xu Chunliang said, "Bai Lan was right about one thing: this matter has nothing to do with us. What I care about is Huang Youlong."

Li Changji said, "Let's leave it at that. I'll pretend nothing ever happened."

Xu Chunliang and Bai Lan exchanged a glance, and this time neither of them stopped Li Changji from leaving.

Bai Lan mixed another drink and handed it to Xu Chunliang, whispering, "Are you just going to let her go like this?"

Xu Chunliang said, "Otherwise what? I can't follow her around 24 hours a day. What can I do if she doesn't cooperate with me?"

Bai Lan said, "She should already be suspicious. To be honest, can you be sure that Li Bingxing is an imposter?"

Xu Chunliang laughed and said, "Let him and Li Changji do a paternity test, and that will make it clear."

Bai Lan said, "After all this time, you're still lying to people."

Xu Chunliang said, "That old fox is so cunning, how easy is it to get a sample from him?" Bai Lan nodded, "For the past twenty years, he has lived a secluded life, rarely even going to the hospital. Even when he does go, it's to Huang Youlong's Mingde Hospital, where he personally examines and treats him."

"So he definitely has a problem."

Bai Lan sighed softly and said, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have guessed he might be an imposter. You still haven't told me who he really is?"

Xu Chunliang said, "All I know is that he has an extremely close relationship with Huang Youlong."

Bai Lan asked, "Why are you showing your true self today?"

"The point is to make them feel a sense of crisis and force them to take action."

Bai Lan took out her phone, which she used for location tracking. A small red dot was moving on the screen. She had just placed a tracking device on Li Changji to facilitate tracking her real-time location.

Xu Chunliang glanced at it: "Where did they go?"

Bai Lan said, "We should go find help."

Logically, Lee Chang-hee should have gone to find her brother, Lee Chang-hyuk, who was in the same situation as her. However, she did not go to Lee Chang-hyuk's house, but instead took a taxi to a church on the back mountain of Itaewon in Gwanak-gu.

The church was located in a slum. It was late at night, and the doors were tightly shut. Lee Chang-hee didn't have a cell phone, but after hesitating for a moment, she still knocked on the door.

After a long while, someone came to open the door, and out came a white-haired priest.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. When the other person recognized her, his first reaction was to close the door. Li Changji grabbed the other person's arm and said, "Uncle."

The priest said, "I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else."

Li Changji said, "Uncle, my mother said that if there is one person in this world who can be trusted, that person is you."

The priest's facial muscles twitched slightly. He finally gave in and, before letting Li Changji in, cautiously looked outside to see if anyone was following her.

Upon entering the church, the priest immediately locked the door from the inside and said somewhat nervously, "We've been looking for you everywhere. How did you find your way here?"

Li Changji said, "I have never bothered you all these years, but I really have no other choice." The person in front of her was her uncle, Huang Qinghuan, who had once been Li Bingxing's most capable assistant.

Huang Qinghuan led Li Changji to a bench and sat down. He sighed and said, "I've been hiding my identity for so long, I thought everyone in the world had forgotten me."

Li Changji said, "Uncle, my daughter has been murdered."

Huang Qinghuan nodded. Although he was hiding here, he had been keeping up with the news, especially news related to the Li family. He knew what had happened to the Li family recently, and he never expected that Li Changji would come to find him at this time.

"Weren't you kidnapped? That's what the news said."

Li Changji said, "Someone broke into my house to kill me, but that person didn't try to kidnap me; he saved me."

Huang Qinghuan said, "Who on the peninsula would have such audacity?"

Li Changji asked, "Uncle, why did you leave Lexing back then?"

Huang Qinghuan paused for a moment: "Because, because I'm tired of it."

Li Changji said, "You are the person my father trusts most. Even if everyone else in the world abandons him, you will not!"

Huang Qinghuan sighed and said, "I don't want to talk about the past."

Li Changji said, "Why are you hiding your identity? Are you worried that someone might harm you?"

Huang Qinghuan said, "No one would do anything to harm me."

Li Changji said, "When my father wanted me to marry Huang Youlong, you strongly opposed it."

Huang Qinghuan smiled wryly and said, "It's not because of this matter. My opposition at the time was out of concern for you. Later, seeing that you were living happily, I felt relieved."

Li Changji said, "This should also be one of the reasons why you left Lexing, Uncle. Do you think my father has changed?"

Huang Qinghuan frowned. If his niece hadn't come to see him, he would never have wanted to recall the matter of Lexing.

Lee Chang-hee said, "Back then, it was he who pushed me towards Huang Youlong. My Yoon-ah was also given to Wang Jiancheng as a gift by them. They killed my Yoon-ah."

Huang Qinghuan said in a low voice, "How could that be? You must have misunderstood."

Li Changji shook his head: "There is no misunderstanding. My mother also died an unnatural death. She died of poisoning."

Huang Qinghuan's expression changed: "You... what did you say?"

Lee Chang-hee recounted the truth she had discovered that day, and Hwang Kyung-hwan became increasingly alarmed as he listened. In fact, he had always suspected that his sister's death was sudden, but at the time he couldn't find many suspicious points. After his sister's death, his brother-in-law's personality changed drastically, and he gradually distanced himself from him. Hwang Kyung-hwan was constantly marginalized in Rakseong, and it was under these circumstances that he decided to leave Rakseong. His departure was not pleasant either.
