Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 371 Is she a pig?

Zhang Shaoqi is the same Zhang Shaoqi who caused a scene at Du Anrao's birthday party and whose parents even had to bring out their most precious treasures to apologize.

He was surprised for a moment when he received the call: "Wow, what's going on today? Young Master Li actually called me personally. I'm truly flattered!"

Li Zimeng could easily detect the sarcasm in the other party's words. After a moment of embarrassment, he still forced himself to continue, "I'm sorry, I spoke too harshly before. I hope Young Master Zhang will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."

"...That's more like it." After all, they grew up together, and Zhang Shaoqi couldn't really bring himself to cut ties and never speak to each other again.

"Tell me, you're not calling me now just to apologize, are you?"

"What you said before about Li Qianxi... is it all true?"

Zhang Shaoqi did a somersault, perfectly demonstrating, "If you're talking about this, I'm not sleepy anymore!"

"So you've finally realized that woman is a two-faced, two-faced person?"

Li Zimeng's eyes narrowed slightly: "I've been wanting to ask you for a while now, why did your attitude towards her suddenly change so drastically? Is it... that you know something?"

It would have been better if Li Zimeng hadn't brought this up, because the moment he did, Zhang Shaoqi's temper flared up again.

"You actually know how to ask? I've been wanting to tell you for a while, but I barely got started before you yelled at me and said that if I said another bad word about that woman, we wouldn't be brothers anymore. Haha, now you know to ask me? Do you want to be brothers with me again? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I misjudged people and judged a gentleman by my own petty standards. I hope that Prime Minister Zhang will be magnanimous and forgive me this time."

Li Zimeng's admission of weakness gave Zhang Shaoqi goosebumps.

"What happened? I don't believe you would suddenly figure it out on your own. Something must have happened that I don't know about."

"Something did happen."

Li Zimeng briefly summarized the key points of what had happened on Li Qianxi's side and told Zhang Shaoqi about it. Zhang Shaoqi was shocked after listening.

"You're saying she went to find that young lady from the Du family, the one they just recognized? Hahahaha... My god, is she an idiot? Of all people to go to, she had to go to that ancestor. Does she think her life is too easy?"

Li Zimeng raised an eyebrow, his eyes showing surprise: "Judging from your tone, it seems you know this Miss Du."

"It's more than just knowing each other!" Zhang Shaoqi couldn't help but shudder as he recalled the scene at the Du family where Du Anrao had left him speechless.

"Although this Miss Du was only recently brought back to the Du family, and was previously said to have been living a life of hardship and obscurity in some remote mountain valley, she is truly extraordinary."

"What's so strange about it?"

"I suspect she can see right through people!" You know, the moment he met Du Anrao's eyes, not a single one of his scheming thoughts could escape her notice!
Every time he had just thought of something and hadn't even had a chance to say it, the other person already had a rebuttal ready for him!

"Moreover, you weren't there that night, so you don't know, but many of her relatives rushed over to greet her and ask her to tell their fortunes."

"Fortune-telling?"

"Don't you know? That Miss Du is from a Taoist family and grew up in a Taoist temple. If she hadn't gone down the mountain to gain experience, the Du family probably wouldn't have been able to find her." "Then what she said... is indeed true."

"I don't know exactly what she said, but judging from the reactions of the people who came to her for fortune telling that night, she must have some real skills."

"She said that when Li Qianxi was eight and a half years old, in order to gain someone's favor, she staged a rescue scene herself. However, because the other person's sister was also present at the time, things went wrong. As a result, the rescued sister was left with a lifelong disability, and she, the culprit, pushed all the responsibility onto the real benefactor who saved the siblings at the time, taking credit for the benefactor's rescue."

"Damn, that bitch! I knew she was vicious, but I never imagined she was this vicious! She could do something so wicked! And she was only eight years old at the time. What was I doing when I was eight? Teasing cats and dogs, climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles, and then getting beaten up by my parents. How could she have such a scheming mind at such a young age?"

After complaining, Zhang Shaoqi felt that this whole thing sounded familiar, and upon closer inspection...

"Holy crap, this can't be..."

Li Zimeng said in a cold voice, "It's highly likely that he's referring to me and Shanshan."

"Oh my god, I've got a terrible temper. Shanshan's eyes were ruined because of her. That bitch, she deserves to die! You wait, I'm booking a flight back to China right now, and we'll go and kill that bastard together."

It's no wonder Zhang Shaoqi lost internet access. After causing a scene at the Du family's birthday party that day, his parents sent him abroad for "training."

Even the investigation materials that later helped him see Li Qianxi's true colors were all researched by his parents and sent directly to him.

When Zhang Shaoqi finished reading the information, his first reaction was to call Li Zimeng and tell him and Li Zishan to stay away from Li Qianxi, that scheming woman.

Unfortunately, Li Zimeng was still thinking about the life-saving grace that Li Qianxi had given to him and his sister when they were young, and the timing of Zhang Shaoqi's call was also quite sensitive, as it was not long after Li Qianxi was kicked out of the Li family and severed ties with them.

Li Zimeng naturally assumed that the other party had distanced themselves from Li Qianxi because of her change in status, and he was greatly disappointed. The two started arguing after only a few words and never contacted each other again.

Even in his most heated moments, Zhang Shaoqi never doubted that Li Qianxi had saved Li Zimeng and his sister back then. He simply believed that time had passed, people would grow up, and some bad changes would always occur. The kind-hearted person who would lend a helping hand to his friends back then had now become a hypocritical and mercenary person.

Who would have thought that this person's actions were purely driven by inherent human evil, and had never changed!

Zhang Shaoqi was itching to get back to his place, packing his things to cause trouble for his enemies and settle old scores as well.

But Li Zimeng's next words brought him to a screeching halt.

"No need, she was arrested a couple of days ago."

"Arrested?!"

"Yes. That Miss Du said she hired someone to commit murder and staged a car accident, but in the end, she accidentally killed several innocent people."

"Holy crap!!! If this is true, she'll be locked up for life."

"These matters have not been fully investigated yet, so we cannot draw any conclusions prematurely."

"With Miss Du's endorsement, it's most likely true. If you're still uneasy, you can check it out yourself. However, your affair with Shanshan is from a long time ago, so you might not be able to find anything. My suggestion is that if you really can't find anything, you might as well try to find Miss Du."

Li Zimeng was slightly taken aback: "Looking for that... Miss Du?"
