Li Wan's condition improved rapidly over the course of a week, giving Li Fenghuo enough time to dig up some information.
The easiest part to investigate was the life of Li Wan's family of three in the Northeast over the past years. Since Li Huan and Su Qing knew each other, Li Fenghuo sent people to Su Qing's address to investigate discreetly. One by one, the facts emerged, and many of them starkly contradicted Li Aiguo's claims. Li Fenghuo's eyes turned red with fury, especially when he learned of the grievances and torment Su Qing had suffered under the Old Su Family all these years, without any parental protection.
The investigation in Jia City, on the other hand, was not as smooth, thanks to Li Aiguo's deliberate concealment. Still, it wasn't entirely fruitless. For one thing, when they secretly showed a photo of a young Mrs. Li to people who knew the Li family, someone recognized that the person in the photo looked a lot like Li Wan.
