Xilin shivered all over and looked at Ding Ning with some fear. At this moment, Ding Ning seemed to have changed into another person. His temperament became extremely cold, making her feel cold all over.
"What's the use of saying harsh words? I heard you went back to Ninghai. Hahaha, you still want to run away after hurting my Li family so badly? No way. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. If I don't see you in Wu City before noon tomorrow, hehe, you know, Mingrui has always been thinking about Diba. "
Li Maoyang gnashed his teeth and warned, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Don't play tricks with me. If I find that you dare to call the police, even if I die, I will drag Diba to hell with me."
"I will definitely be there on time. How will I find you then?"
Ding Ning's eyes flashed. It seemed that Li Maoyang was not as omnipotent as he had imagined. At least, he did not know that he was still in Wu City and thought that he had returned to Ninghai.
"Tomorrow at 11 o 'clock sharp, I will call you and tell you the place to meet. Remember, don't play tricks. If I find that you dare to play tricks, I will let someone take turns with Diba."
Li Maoyang did not wait for Ding Ning to reply and hung up the phone with a bang.
Ding Ning silently put away the phone. Although Li Maoyang said it was tomorrow at 11 o 'clock, he absolutely could not wait until then. Diba would be in more danger every minute in his hands.
"Diba was kidnapped by Li Maoyang?"
Xilin asked nervously.
"Yes!"
Ding Ning frowned and thought about the possible hiding place of Li Maoyang. But he did not know Li Maoyang, how could he think of it? The only way was to use his divine sense to search the entire Wu City at night at all costs.
This was a very stupid method, but it was the only way to find Li Maoyang's hiding place.
"What should I do? Call the police. "
Xilin said helplessly. Although she had an affair with Diba's man, she had never thought of fighting with Diba. In her heart, Diba would always be her best sister.
"No, the police can't find them at all. Diba's life will be in danger instead."
Ding Ning flatly refused. What a joke. Last night, even the military and police had not caught Li Maoyang and his son. Calling the police now would not help at all and would only enrage Li Maoyang.
"Then what should we do?"
Celine was so anxious that she was about to cry.
"I'll send you home now. Close the door and don't go anywhere. I'll think of a way to find them and save Diba."
Ding Ning said in an unquestionable tone, and then started the car to send Xilin home.
Xilin opened her mouth and wanted to object, but looking at Ding Ning's expressionless face, she could only obediently listen to his arrangements.
At the door of Xilin's house, he happened to run into Anival, who was returning home, which made Ding Ning feel very embarrassed. Although everyone knew it, he still felt uncomfortable face to face.
Anival looked as usual as if nothing had happened. He was as enthusiastic as ever and even invited Ding Ning to go home. Ding Ning was too embarrassed to stay. He could only say that he had something to do and hurriedly stopped a taxi and left.
"Why is he in such a hurry? What happened? "
Anival looked at Ding Ning's back and asked in bewilderment.
"I feel uncomfortable when I see you."
Xilin said grumpily with a gloomy face. She did not tell him about Diba's kidnapping. After all, it was useless to tell him about such a thing. It would only add to his troubles.
Anival shrugged and looked at Xilin apologetically. "You've worked hard."
"What's so hard about it? I don't know how comfortable it is."
Xilin proudly stuck out her chest and said with an intoxicated expression.
Anival smiled bitterly and shook his head. Suddenly, he said seriously, "Xilin, do you love him?"
"What does it matter if I love him or not? It doesn't matter. At least, he let me know what a real woman is, unlike some people. Hehe. "
Xilin stared at Anival provocatively and deliberately provoked him.
Anival did not argue with her. He shook his head with a smile and said seriously, "Xilin, let's get a divorce."
"Divorce?"
Xilin froze and looked at him in disbelief. "What will you do if we get a divorce?"
"Xilin, I know you love him. I was too selfish in the past and always wanted you to cover for me. But now I understand that I can't delay your happiness for the rest of your life. If you really love him, then courageously pursue him. I will divorce you and set you free. In my heart, you will always be a weak little sister who needs protection."
There was a nostalgic smile on Aniwar's face as if he was recalling the little girl who had a ponytail and big, blinking eyes, timidly holding onto the corner of his shirt and hiding behind him.
Xilin's eyes reddened. She stared at Anival and roared hysterically, "Do you think I've made you a cuckold? That's why you can't stand it anymore and want to divorce me?"
"Shh, lower your voice."
Anival looked around in panic. Fortunately, they lived in a villa area. The distance between the villas was quite far and there were few people at this time. Otherwise, they would really be heard.
"What's there to be afraid of? I dare to do it, so I'm not afraid of being talked about. Anival, do you know why you are not as good as Ding Ning? He is a man who dares to take responsibility for what he has done. But you, for your shameful secret, you live like walking on thin ice. Even if you are not tired, I am tired for you. "
Xilin did not care about his reminder at all and shouted mercilessly.
"Madam, I beg you, can you lower your voice? I am not as good as him, and I have never denied it."
Anival was frightened. He covered Xilin's mouth and begged.
Xilin felt aggrieved as if she had punched with all her strength and hit cotton. She broke away from his hand and said with a face full of disgust, "What a coward without balls."
After that, she turned around and got into the Ferrari in her seven-inch high heels. She started the car and drove away.
"Xilin, come back. Where are you going?"
Anival did not stop her. He shouted at the taillights that gradually went away.
"I'm going to find a wild man and make you a few more cuckolds."
Xilin's unscrupulous voice floated in the night wind, making Anival sigh with a bitter smile.
He entered the house in a daze. Looking at the empty room, he suddenly felt sad. He slowly squatted down and sat in the corner, holding his head and sobbing.
Although he had a problem with his sexual orientation, and he did see Xilin as his own sister, he was a man anyway. It would be a lie to say that he did not feel sad when he took the initiative to make himself a cuckold.
After the man he loved, Qi Mingxian, disappeared, his heart was empty, and he lived like a walking corpse. Although he tried to date other men, and even had a relationship with them that was beyond friendship, after the passion, there was only deeper loneliness and emptiness.
Xilin, his nominal wife, was perhaps his only spiritual sustenance. Even if there was no love between them, as long as he saw her at home, his heart would be at ease and he would feel that he was not alone.
But now, Xilin had someone she liked, which made him feel both relieved and pained. He was afraid that Xilin, his only spiritual sustenance, would leave him, leaving him to live alone.
That was why he took a step back and asked for a divorce to test her. Unfortunately, Xilin knew him too well. She did not respond at all, so he could not figure out her real thoughts.
Did Xilin love him?
He did not know, but she probably did not love him. The reason why she was willing to sacrifice her own happiness to cover for him was more likely because he protected her when they were young, and she did not want her parents to worry.
This feeling hurt him very much. Was it wrong to like a man? But living in this world, no one could ignore the eyes of the world. Moreover, if his hot-tempered father knew the truth, he would beat him to death.
His heart was very conflicted, just like Xilin's personality. On one hand, he wanted to set Xilin free and let her pursue her own happiness, but on the other hand, he was afraid that if she really left, he would be left alone in this empty house.
He was afraid of being alone. Losing Qi Mingxian was like losing his soul. He had always thought that he would only live for that man in this life, but in the face of the Li family's intimidation and threats, he had no backbone and chose to compromise, acting like a turtle that hid its head in its shell. This made him look down on himself.
Although he was very reluctant to admit it, in fact, he was actually a coward. All the strength and bravery on the outside were just a facade.
Xilin was right. A coward like him could not be compared to Ding Ning. Only a man with guts like that was worthy of Xilin's love and cherish.
Anival wiped away his tears and thought in a self-deprecating manner. If Qi Mingxian knew that he did not dare to avenge him because he was afraid of death, he would probably look down on him.
"Xilin, I don't deserve to have you, even in name. So, I've decided to give you back your freedom."
Anival murmured in a low voice, his eyes shining with determination. He stood up, wiped his tears, opened a computer document and started typing.
This time, he decided to be braver. Even if it was to prove that he still had a little bit of the courage that a man should have, he would let Xilin go and learn to face life alone.
The computer screen flashed with a faint blue luster. The title of the document was in black font: Divorce Agreement.
…
At this moment, Ding Ning was walking alone on the streets of Wushi with a frown. He had already searched more than half of Wushi, but he still could not find Li Maoyang's hiding place.
Unknowingly, he passed by the city police station again. In his divine sense, he inadvertently discovered that Chen Dafa was hiding in his office with a gloomy face, smoking in a sullen mood. The large crystal ashtray was already filled with cigarette butts.
Fang Mengting's face was full of righteous indignation as she said something agitatedly at the side. Chen Dafa shook his head with a bitter expression. This made him a little curious and he listened carefully.
"I can't figure it out. Li Maoyang and his son were still wanted criminals yesterday. How dare they appear openly today? They even became Governor-General Cheng's guest of honor. Is there any justice in this world? "
Fang Mengting gritted her teeth and said hatefully, but it made Ding Ning's heart tremble. How could this be?
"Forget it, stop talking. It's useless to complain. Governor-General Cheng also had no choice. Mayor Han suddenly died. Without him as a key witness, no one could do anything about the Li family's father and son. They could only withdraw the arrest order."
Chen Dafa said with a bitter expression, "His death has made Governor-General Cheng and Director Shen of the Anti-Corruption Bureau very passive. I heard that the higher-ups are very angry. They called to scold Governor-General Cheng and said that he was talking nonsense."
"Do you still need to ask? Mayor Han is a key witness. His sudden death definitely has something to do with the Li family's father and son. I'm sure that they definitely sent someone to do it. "
Fang Mengting's face turned red with anger. She said indignantly, "Besides, the gang of gangsters who openly attacked the checkpoint with guns last night were definitely their people."
