Chen He stubbed out his cigarette and picked up the phone with a serious expression.
"How is it?" Chen He tried his best to keep his voice calm as he asked.
"Brother Chen, we've searched all the residential areas and residences in Hong Kong, but we didn't find any trace of those two figures … It seems like they've never appeared in the whole of Hong Kong before …" Hong Xingshe's underling said in a serious tone on the phone.
Chen He's expression changed slightly when he heard the underling's report. They didn't find anything? How was that possible?
As long as his mother and brother stayed in Hong Kong, they would have left some clues … But why? Why couldn't they find anything? Could it be that they had never been to Hong Kong before?
At this moment, Chen He's expression was complicated. The answer he wanted to find the most was stuck in a mystery in Hong Kong!
Li Peijiu sat in the passenger seat and looked at him with a puzzled expression. Li Peijiu suddenly felt confused. Why did Chen He's expression look so strange?
Li Peijiu's heart was filled with confusion, but she suppressed it and didn't say anything in the end.
…
Hong Kong, Triad Building.
A van was parked in the underground parking lot of the building.
The chairman, Xiang Huaqiang, stood in front of the van and stared coldly at the two badly mutilated bodies in the van … These were the bodies of the two assassins from last night!
He clenched his fists tightly.
These two bodies seemed to be a signal from the other party … It was a warning from the other party!
Xiang Huaqiang's lips curved into a cold smile. In Hong Kong, no one had ever dared to threaten him like this!
"Chen He … Even if you are a dragon … In Hong Kong, you have to stay put. You can't fly here." A terrifying aura flashed in Xiang Huaqiang's eyes. Then, he calmed down and slowly turned around and left …
…
Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson Group.
Chen He stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the lounge. At this moment, his expression was extremely serious … He stared at the bustling city outside the window … The complicated feelings in his heart grew deeper and deeper!
Mother … Brother, where are you?
Chen He clenched his fists tightly. At that moment, his breathing gradually became heavier. For seven whole years, he was overseas, but he was always on the mainland of Hua Xia, looking for news of his mother and brother! Connected by blood … The pain from seven years ago left him with a burning desire to find them! He had already lost everything … his mother and younger brother were his only hope of survival! As for the current him, half of his life … was to search, and the other half … was for vengeance!!
A terrifying aura flashed across Chen He's eyes at the thought of this! He clenched his fists so tightly that the sound of his joints cracking could be heard! Even the ground beneath his feet began to sink, and a crack appeared!
Just then, the door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open.
Goddess Li Peijiu walked in leisurely in her high heels.
"What are you looking at?" Li Peijiu's long hair was gently draped over her shoulders, making her look extremely beautiful and gentle. She quietly walked to Chen He's side, followed his gaze, and looked outside the window …
She realized that Chen He's gaze didn't seem to be focused at all. He was simply looking at the city outside the window, as if … there was an indescribable emotion in his heart?
"It's nothing," Chen He said calmly as he shifted his gaze away.
He slowly lit a cigarette, and the deep emotion in his eyes gradually faded. He didn't want the secret in his heart to be discovered by Li Peijiu. This was a secret that could never be revealed.
Li Peijiu blinked her beautiful eyes, staring at him softly. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be deep in thought … Because she suddenly felt that Chen He seemed so lonely at this moment … Even his back was filled with loneliness and desolation.
"Are you … looking for something in Hong Kong?" Li Peijiu suddenly asked. Her voice was soft and magnetic, but like a sword, it was about to unravel the deepest secret in Chen He's heart!
Boom! At this moment! Chen He's heart suddenly trembled! His eyes trembled uncontrollably, and that was the shock of his expression!
"No, I'm not looking for anything, you're thinking too much." Chen He's expression was incomparably calm as he spoke indifferently … But only he himself knew that at this moment, his heart was already filled with shock!
"Really?" Li Peijiu tilted her head slightly, and her long hair draped over her shoulders. She just stared at Chen He, as if she wanted to see through him.
Chen He was incomparably shocked … How did Li Peijiu know? How did she notice all this?! Chen He had already handled it very carefully, and almost didn't let Li Peijiu notice it … But, it seemed that Li Peijiu still sensed something strange?
"Nothing, I'm just new here, and I'm a little curious about this city. Don't think too much, Peijiu." Chen He's expression was incomparably calm, and he slowly puffed out a smoke ring. He pretended to be an outsider who had nothing to do with this matter.
Li Peijiu's beautiful eyes turned slightly, and she murmured in a magnetic voice, "Alright ~"
After that, she didn't ask any more questions, and left leisurely in her high heels …
Looking at Li Peijiu's figure leaving, Chen He's gaze … was indistinctly a little complicated. The longer he stayed with this woman, the greater the risk of his secret being exposed! As the time they spent together gradually increased, the top secret in the deepest part of his heart … seemed to be uncontrollably exposed …
In the meeting room of Jardine Matheson Group.
Father Li Tianrong and Chairman Wang Shi were sitting together. After a long discussion, they finally reached an agreement!
Not long after, Li Peijiu slowly walked into the meeting room.
"Dad, you were looking for me?"
Li Tianrong's expression was solemn, and he gestured for his daughter to sit down.
Li Peijiu's beautiful eyes were slightly stunned, as if she sensed something strange.
She slowly sat in front of the meeting table.
Father Li Tianrong and Chairman Wang Shi both sat opposite each other. The atmosphere in the entire meeting room was a little tense.
"Peijiu, after my discussion with your Uncle Wang, we have decided that you should leave Hong Kong immediately and return to the mainland." Li Tianrong's expression was extremely solemn, and he spoke in a tone that brooked no refusal.
Wang Shi also sighed. "Niece Peijiu, the situation in Hong Kong … You have seen it for yourself … As you have seen, the situation in Hong Kong is chaotic and dangerous. If you continue to stay in Hong Kong, I'm afraid the situation will be out of control."
Hearing the words of her father and Uncle Wang, Li Peijiu's pretty face flashed with a trace of complex emotions.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with determination, and she said in a magnetic voice, "I'm not going back. The cooperation project has not been completed yet. If I go back now, it will delay the progress of the project."
"Peijiu! Don't throw a tantrum, you have seen the dangers of Hong Kong … This is not something we can handle! Little Chen can't protect you alone, you have to return to the mainland! "Li Tianrong's expression was extremely solemn! At this moment, he had no other choice! His daughter had to leave Hong Kong! This was a dangerous place, and there was no other choice!
"Niece Peijiu, we can take our time to complete the cooperation project. Right now, your safety is the most important thing … Right now, the entire Hong Kong is not safe anymore … Sigh …" Wang Shi advised.
"To be honest … I have been in Hong Kong for decades … I have never seen such chaos in Hong Kong! Peijiu … Something on you has already attracted the attention of Hong Kong! "Chairman Wang Shi's voice was incomparably complicated, and he spoke cautiously.
Right now, they had to get Li Peijiu out of Hong Kong! Li Peijiu and the others had to leave Hong Kong as soon as possible before the situation escalated to a new level.
Goddess Li Peijiu sat there with a hint of confusion in her heart … Could she leave? At this moment, the image of that man just now appeared in her mind … He stood alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes out of focus … He stared at the city outside the window … What was he looking for in Hong Kong? That thing … was very important to him … Otherwise, why would his eyes look so lonely?
Thinking of that man's lonely back, Li Peijiu bit her red lips lightly … She couldn't leave … Even if it was for herself, for the cooperation project … or for that man, Chen He!
She didn't know what Chen He was looking for in Hong Kong … But she knew that it was very important to Chen He! The loneliness and desolation in his eyes … caused Li Peijiu to feel a trace of confusion, and even a little heartache … If she left at this moment … then Chen He would also lose the chance to find her … She had to stay! She had to give Chen He time to look for it!
Finally, Li Peijiu made up her mind.
She clenched her jade-like hands lightly, her beautiful eyes extremely firm.
