Chapter 434: Don’t Think of Second Brother as a Kind Person
Li Peirong subconsciously thought that the Dongfang Family was coming after her when she heard knocking sounds on the door.
Her body could not help but quiver. Li Peirong was thinking that she could not allow herself to get caught. Otherwise, Xuanxuan would not have a mother and she would definitely be bullied by others.
At the thought of this, her heart sank and she ran towards the window.
Yet, the door was opened by a key and a person appeared at the entrance.
He looked at Li Peirong, who was running towards the window and coldly said, “I’m not from the Dongfang Family. If you want for you and your daughter to live a life above others, you had better stop there.
Moreover, this is the fifth floor. If you were to jump down, you would either be dead or disabled. There are also my men downstairs and in the event where you manage to stay alive, they will ensure that you meet your maker.”
Li Peirong’s body jerked at his words.
She ended up stopping and turning around to look at the masked man standing by the door.
Even though she could not make out his appearance, but the murderous killing aura he radiated made her frightened to death.
“You… who are you?”
“There’s no need for you to bother with my ident.i.ty. You only have to answer if you wish to become one that is above others?”
Li Peirong suddenly felt a glimpse of light in his words. She tried her best to suppress her fear and said, “Why should I believe you?”
Perhaps this man was someone sent by the Dongfang Family.
“You can only trust me now.” The man walked into the room as he spoke and closed the door at the same time.
Li Peirong’s complexion paled and she constantly retreated towards the window.
The man’s voice was chilly as he said, “I’m not discussing with you. If you do not agree, I’ll kill you right away.”
“You… you dare to do so?!”
“Do you want to give it a try?”
How could Li Peirong possibly dare to try? Her body constantly trembled in response.
The man looked at her reaction and his tone of voice contained traces of a threat. “As long as you listen to my orders, I’ll let you get a face change. In that case, the Dongfang Family will not be able to locate you while Zi Yi will also be unable to recognize you. You’ll only have to take care of her in secret when the time comes.”
“You… why are you helping me?” Li Peirong was tempted, but she did not act rashly.
“There’s no need for you to know of this. The more you know, the quicker your death.”
Li Peirong was frightened to the extent she dared not utter a single word.
The man asked in annoyance. “So are you going to accept my arrangement or would you like for me to end your life right now?”
Li Peirong knew that she had no choice and she made a last struggle. “You have to guarantee my daughter’s safety.”
“Sure.” While the man said that, he took out a pill and pa.s.sed it to her. “Swallow this.”
Li Peirong’s eyes were about to pop out from staring at the pill and she subconsciously felt that she should not eat it.
“Pft- If you don’t eat it, then both you and your daughter can go meet your maker.”
Li Peirong quickly grabbed the pill and swallowed it. After swallowing, she asked, “What did you feed me?”
“Rest a.s.sured. As long as you are obedient, there won’t be any effects… but if you are not… you will feel unimaginable pain.”
The man turned around and said, “Follow me.”
Li Peirong’s fingers trembled and she controlled the urge to dig the pill out from her throat. She raised her heavy feet and followed the man.
…
Airport.
There were fewer people than usual compared to daytime in the airport. The VIP pa.s.sage was even quieter.
Just then, a group of people walked out from the VIP pa.s.sageway.
Hei Fei, who was wearing a short leather jacket, strode out from the airport. The bodyguards following him had to trot in order to catch up to his walking speed.
Relative to He Fei’s walking speed, Ouyang Ming who was wearing a long windbreaker walked behind him leisurely.
As he looked at the back view of He Fei who was walking further and further away, Ouyang Ming finally said, “Say, are you rus.h.i.+ng to reincarnate? Why are you walking so fast?”
He Fei turned around and looked at him crossly.
Ouyang Ming finally chased after him and said, “We’ve earned billions this time and aren’t you happy? With that straight face of yours, other people might even think that you lost all your money, right down to your underwear.”
He Fei expression instantly darkened. He gnashed his teeth and growled. “What f**king business did you get me to do with you? If the elders of our family were to know what we have done, do you think it’s just a matter of having our skin peeled off?”
Ouyang Ming did not take it to heart. “Everything’s good as long as we’ve made money. Moreover, I’ve also told you that we are doing business in the gray area and it’s nothing much. Whatsmore…”
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for two seconds before he squinted and continued to speak. “Don’t you wish to catch up to Second Brother quicker?”
He Fei remained silent.
Ouyang Ming held his shoulder and they continued to walk out of the airport. “If you want to make money, you must have courage. We have an advantage now and what’s there to be afraid of? If you continue to be like this, that woman will not fancy you.”
He Fei remained silent.
Ouyang Ming added. “We’ll rest in the capital for half a month. There’s another batch of business at the Golden Triangle. If we get it done, it’ll be even more profitable than what we’ve done previously.”
He Fei’s voice was deep. “We can’t go there.”
“Why? You’re scared of dying?” Ouyang Ming’s tone of voice contained traces of mocking. “Do you think the reason Second Brother could earn so much money is really because of his excellent business skills? You’re wrong. It’s because he has many business dealings with the bosses within these gray areas.”
“Impossible!” He Fei did not believe him.
“Pft… don’t think of Second Brother as a kind person. You only have to head there and ask around to see who doesn’t know of Second Brother.”
He Fei was silent again.
…
The next day, Zi Yi felt movements beside her and knew that Lu Jingye had gotten up. She directly stretched out her hand and grabbed his collar.
Lu Jingye looked at the young lady who still had her eyes closed and reached out to touch her cheeks. His voice after waking up sounded deep and magnetic. “Yiyi, let go.”
Zi Yi was bewitched by his voice and stretched out to hug his neck.
Their bodies were in close proximity and she could clearly feel his bodily reaction. She opened her eyes and was confronted with his pair of bottomless, deep eyes.
Lu Jingye took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness within his body. “Do you want to get up with me?”
“Yes.” Even though Zi Yi responded, she did not move.
Lu Jingye simply hugged her waist and lifted her up to an upright position.
Zi Yi sat on the edge of the bed while Lu Jingye went to get her clothes. Before he picked out her clothes, he looked through the windows and said, “It’s raining now and the temperature is going to drop greatly today. I’ll get you a thicker coat.”
Zi Yi sat there and nodded.
Lu Jingye pa.s.sed her the clothes he chose and returned to his room.
After was.h.i.+ng up, they went downstairs and Zi Yi connected to Lu Yunxiao’s ward to let Lu Jingye take a look.
Zi Yi pointed at Lu Yunxiao’s skin color and said, “Ah Jing, look. Yunxiao’s skin color has been looking healthier these days.”
“Yes.”
Lu Jingye thought for a moment and said, “I’ll get my men to send all the medicinal ingredients over and you can cultivate some in the underground research lab. In the case of an emergency in the future, you’ll be able to use them.”
“Alright.”
Lu Jingye had to leave early and the both of them had their breakfast early.
As soon as Lu Jingye got in the car, he received a phone call and his originally gentle expression disappeared. He looked in front of him with a cold gaze. “Keep watch on her and that person. Don’t act rashly and alert the enemy.”
