His brows furrowed higher and higher, and wrinkles started to appear on his forehead.
Dong Hao wanted to comfort him, but he felt that it was better not to say too much. Second Brother Li hated it when others interfered with family matters. He only said, "From the contact list, he only made that one call after he came back. There's nothing out of the ordinary."
Li He asked, "What are the names of the two kids in America?"
Dong Hao said, "Lu Zheng and Gu Quangui."
The two of them were in charge of Li Yi's security in America.
Seeing that Li He was silent, he continued, "Miss Fu also arranged two people behind Fu Yao. They're brothers. The elder brother is Thailand's three-time boxing champion, Sha Man, who was once invincible in Southeast Asia. The younger brother is also Thailand's two-time boxing champion."
"And then?" Li He asked nonchalantly.
Dong Hao said, "It's a little hard for them to follow behind. Lu Zheng and Gu Quangui can't take advantage of them."
Li He said, "Then what's the point of keeping them around?"
His expression was already ugly. Dong Hao was shocked. He finally understood the true meaning of the saying, "Emperors are heartless."
He had wanted to argue for Lu Zheng and Gu Quangui, but he could only give up now. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll send more people to arrange for Peng Gang to go over. Although he doesn't have the confidence to win against Sha Man, he won't lose."
Despite the risk of angering Li He, he still arranged for Gu Quangui and Lu Zheng to stay.
Li He said, "Tell them not to make any mistakes."
He didn't care who Peng Gang was.
Dong Hao said, "Mr. Li, don't worry. I'll make the necessary arrangements."
Li He asked, "What do you think is the situation?"
Dong Hao was stunned. He did not expect Li He to ask so bluntly. He had already decided not to express his opinion on this kind of thing, but since Li He had asked, he could not avoid it. He braced himself and said, "I think the two of them just like each other. According to Lu Zheng, the two of them only see each other once a month at most, and they have only seen each other five times this year. Maybe we are worrying too much. On the surface, it looks like a normal friendship."
Li He stomped the unfinished cigar into the snow, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Tell them to be more serious. I don't need to tell you the consequences of making a mistake, do I?"
The northwest wind was still howling, and the snow was still fluttering, but Dong Hao's forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
He composed himself and said, "Mr. Li, I promise that nothing will go wrong."
He was no longer Li He's bodyguard. He had come out to start his own business and was rich. However, he felt that it was necessary for him to go to the United States personally for the sake of peace of mind.
He was really worried.
After that, Li He got into the car.
The car drove in the heavy snow. Soon, it was covered by the snowflakes, and not even its shadow could be seen.
On the day that Fu Bing was released from prison, the snow was even heavier, and the northwest wind was even stronger.
Old Madam Fu did not want to hide in the warm car. She insisted on standing at the entrance of the prison to see her son come out.
She said to Fu Xia, who was standing behind her, "Your brother has arranged everything. I'm willing to close my eyes."
Snowflakes poured into her neck. Fu Xia could not bear it anymore. She tore off her scarf and forcefully wrapped it around Old Madam Fu's neck. She smiled and said, "It's the Spring Festival, and you're saying such inauspicious things. As long as he works hard, his days will definitely get better."
Old Madam Fu said, "No matter what, he is still your brother. Don't be so cruel."
Fu Xia was about to say something, but her father interrupted.
Old Man Fu said, "You're going to spoil him and then go back to your old ways? A good child, completely ruined by you! If you don't teach him how to be a good person, society will teach him a lesson and the law will punish him! "
Old Madam Fu said, "Fu Baocheng, you have the cheek to say that to me?"
Fu Xia said, "Speak properly. Why are you quarreling? Isn't it good for everyone to be happy when he's out today?"
As soon as she said that, the prison door creaked. Everyone stopped talking and focused on the metal door that was slowly opening.
A car drove out from inside.
They tilted their heads again, hoping that someone would appear behind the car. Under their disappointed gazes, the metal door slowly closed again.
Old Madam Fu said anxiously, "There won't be any problems, right?"
Fu Xia looked at her wristwatch and said, "No, no. It was confirmed yesterday. Don't think too much. He will definitely come out in a while. It's only nine o 'clock now. Don't be so anxious. "
Fu Yao had been standing quietly at the back, his hands locked in his sleeves. He lifted his shoulders and said, "Grandma, it's fine. Let's just wait patiently."
With a creak, a side door suddenly opened.
Gradually, they were able to see the full face of the person standing at the door.
Old Madam Fu narrowed her eyes and hurriedly rushed forward. She hugged the child and cried loudly, "My son!"
Her tears fell uncontrollably.
Fu Bing was hugged tightly by his mother. He put down the worn-out canvas bag in his hand and patted his mother's back. Then, he said, "Let's go back. Don't ever come back to this damn place again."
Fu Xia said happily, "That's the right way to think. Get in the car. Let's go home."
Fu Bing looked at Fu Xia and then at Fu Yao behind her. He said calmly, "You're here too."
Fu Xia nodded. "Let's talk when we get back."
Fu Yao went forward to pick up his uncle's canvas bag. Then, he ran to the car and opened the door for his uncle and grandma to get in first.
Fu Bing sat in the passenger seat and kept looking out the window. He did not say a word. When they were close to the door, he said, "What a big change. I almost didn't recognize you."
Fu Xia said, "It's a big change. I almost didn't recognize you when I came back. You've just come out, so don't rush to work. Take your time to adapt to the environment."
The car stopped. Fu Bing quietly opened the door and got out of the car.
"Did we move?" His family used to live in a residential area that was demolished.
This was a 20-story building.
Old Madam said, "When you got into trouble, we had no money. So, we sold the house and rented a new one."
Fu Bing said, "You didn't say anything."
On second thought, it might not be a bad thing. At least he did not have to face the strange looks from his old neighbors.
Old Fu said, "That's so that you can live in peace. The house and money are just worldly possessions. The most important thing is that you're safe and your family is together. That's the most important thing."
Fu Bing sneered. "Unfortunately, some people don't think that way. They value money too much."
Fu Xia knew that he was referring to her. But thinking that it was her brother's first day out of prison, she did not refute him.
The Fu family's rented house was very small. It was less than 60 square meters. After Fu Bing walked in, he looked around and sat on the sofa motionlessly.
Old Madam Fu brought over a basin of water and said with a smile, "Wash your face with pomelo water and soak your feet. Take a bath later and change into fresh clothes."
