Chapter 154: Steal half a day's leisure
Chapter 154: Steal half a day’s leisure
"You don't know what the Wang family has been like these past year or so." Old Man Bao smiled miserably, "Even the Beggar Clan won't let us join the gang. All the Wang family can only sleep on the side of the road or under the overpass. Eating cold food and being chased away like a wild dog. Young Master Li, do you want me to take revenge? I want to find out the truth and find out the murderer with my own hands..." He suddenly stopped. Finished.
"What else do you want from Pei Ziheng?" Li Lei asked calmly, "Kneel down and admit your mistake? Pay with your life?" He smiled, "You also know it's impossible, Old Man Bao, when you were still a big boss, If you can’t move Pei Ziheng, let alone now.”
Old man Bao's eyes were gloomy: "I have a way to make his life worse than death."
"tell me the story."
“Why should I tell you?” Old Man Bao looked at Li Lei warily.
Li Lei: "Maybe we can cooperate. I don't care whether Pei Ziheng lives or dies, but I need to know what happened between him and Xia Ling, as well as the other women around him... If there are any, what happened between them Everything big and small. Wang Jingzhou, I need you to investigate for me, and in return, I can provide you with many conveniences."
This condition was very tempting, and Old Man Bao couldn't help but be tempted.
Now, he is anonymous, powerless, and has very little power at his disposal. It is difficult to investigate the murderer. And if he cooperates with Li Lei and has the convenience provided by the underground emperor of S City, his progress will be much smoother.
"Why?" Although Old Man Bao was moved, the caution he had developed as a leader for a long time still made him very alert and asked, "Why are you so interested in Pei Ziheng's affairs?"
"I have people I want to protect," Li Lei said calmly, "Even Ye Xingling, do you think she looks like Xia Ling? I guess Pei Ziheng feels the same way. I must protect her from Pei Ziheng's harassment. By the way...I I don’t want you to get close to Xiao Ling again, otherwise,” his voice became cold, “I don’t care about any promises or cooperation, I will make you and the entire Wang family completely disappear from this earth.”
Old man Bao felt a chill in his heart. He had no doubt that Li Lei had the courage and the ability.
After pondering for a moment, he said: "Yes, Ye Xingling was not my target in the first place. I will provide you with all the information I have investigated. However, Second Young Master Li, I also hope that you can protect the Wang family's descendants for me. They They are being bullied so badly by other gangs on the streets. As the underground emperor of S City, you can make their lives much easier with just a word."
"I will help them within an appropriate scope," Li Lei said, "but it won't be a big help, because we can't let Pei Ziheng see the clues. If I'm not wrong, he must have sent someone to keep an eye on you. The disciples and grandsons of the Wang family, because of his vengeful character, will never let you live an easy life out of his sight. "
Old Man Bao nodded: "Yes, as long as it is help within an appropriate scope, I am very grateful." He escaped from Pei Ziheng's surveillance sight by cheating his death, but the other descendants of the Wang family were closely monitored. Pei Ziheng always kept his word, and once he said it, he would never make it easy for them.
Li Lei smiled: "Don't worry, I can promise here that the lives of your Wang family descendants will not be in danger. For the rest, when our cooperation is completed, I can send them and you abroad, where Pei Ziheng will be outnumbered. A place to start a new life.”
Old man Bao looked at Li Lei cautiously: "Second Young Master Li, there have been rumors in the world that you are a man of your word. I, Wang Jingzhou, will believe you just once. I hope we can have a happy cooperation."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Li Lei stretched out his hand and gave Old Man Bao a light slap.
He had a vague hunch in his heart that he was one step closer to the truth. What was it that had been bothering Xiao Ling? Is it really related to Xia Ling's death? No matter what, he will do his best to protect her and prevent her from getting hurt again.
Li Lei adjusted his mood and returned to S City. He still only showed his happy side in front of Xia Ling, as if all hidden dangers and worries did not exist.
Xia Ling was so busy that she rushed around to make announcements and record songs.
Li Lei, however, wanted her to balance work and rest. No matter how many things she had to do, she also stipulated an unbreakable rest time. If she did not ensure enough rest, she would not be allowed to record the announcement.
Xia Ling felt very early in the morning after going to the theater for a week. At the weekend, Li Lei would take her out to relax no matter what.
He drove her to the beach. They hugged each other to watch the sun rise, walked along the coastline, and then went home. It was a well-built white villa that belonged to his property near the beach. She looked at it curiously, with a Mediterranean-style duplex structure, large and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, opening the side door of the bedroom, a white streamlined terrace, and the smell of tide in the air.
She finally found peace and relaxation, dozing and sleeping most of the day, as if trying to catch up on the sleep that had been lost to busy work and horrific nightmares. She hugged the quilt, and he hugged her, ignoring her vague protests while half asleep, stealing kisses from time to time, and humming an unknown tune.
They did not mention Pei Ziheng.
As if all dangers and injuries never existed.
Li Lei said: "Xiao Ling, I really want to hide you and live like this for the rest of my life."
She was sleepy and hummed a few times.
He chuckled and pinched her nose: "Go to sleep, it's best to sleep like a pig. When the time comes, Wei and the others won't recognize you, but I won't mind it."
Xia Ling hummed a few more times in protest, her dull brain working slowly, Zhu...Awei...wait, Awei? ! With a jolt, she woke up halfway from her drowsiness, opened her eyes and looked at Li Lei: "Has Wei been looking for me these days?"
Li Lei continued to pinch her nose and said, "No." He pinched her again and said, "Who cares?"
Xia Ling looked at him doubtfully.
That's not right. I remember a few days ago, when she was still in the apartment, Awei called her and asked her to go to the recording studio, saying that he had something to talk to. How could it be that nothing had happened when we arrived at Li Lei's place? -Given Aweina’s workaholic, obsessive-compulsive, fussy, punctual and picky character, this is unscientific.
Li Lei blinked at her innocently.
She pinched her nose until it itched, sneezed, and sat up: "I'll call Wei."
He pushed her back and said, "If anything happens, he will call himself."
"No, I feel a little uneasy if I don't ask clearly what it is." She took his hand away, stood up, threw away a pair of slippers, and went to the small suite outside the room to find her mobile phone.
Li Lei followed reluctantly.
The phone was turned off. She looked at it doubtfully for a long time: "I never turn it off. Is it out of battery?"
Pressed it twice, it turned on and the battery was full.
Li Lei coughed lightly and looked away.
A Wei's roar came from the other end of the phone: "Ye Xingling, you still know how to turn on the phone?! Do you know how many days I have been looking for you?! Are you an artist like you? Do you really care about your work?! Three Something happened in the middle of the day, disrupting all the schedules. I don’t know how big a talent you are! Who could tolerate this bad habit of yours? !
He talked incessantly, and she listened to the instructions with all her strength, nodding her head like pecking at rice, and reflecting deeply.
