Li Rui immediately rushed up and kneeled on his chest with his right leg, pinning him down. A few heavy punches made him unable to resist. Then, he pressed his left hand on his forehead and poured a bottle of mineral water into his nose with his right hand. Unable to breathe, Li Zheng opened his mouth and screamed. Li Rui moved the bottle slightly and poured the water into his mouth again. He choked and coughed violently. Li Rui poured water into his nostrils again. In fact, he didn't pour much water into his nostrils. His intention was to prevent him from breathing.
After using less than half of the bottle of water, Li Zheng could no longer hold on. His chest rose and fell violently as he coughed. His face was pale and his eyes were bulging. His limbs were desperately struggling like a wild dog that was being strangled by a cheetah. Li Rui saw that his reaction didn't seem to be fake and that he had reached the limit of his patience. Only then did he let him go.
"Do you want to do it again?"
"Cough … cough cough … huff … huff … huff huff … don't … don't, you … you devil, you're simply … no, I beg you … spare me, I beg you …"
After Li Zheng barely escaped with his life, his first reaction was to curse Li Rui. However, he quickly understood the consequences of this and immediately changed his words to beg for mercy.
"Tell me first, how did you know that we were singing at that KTV?"
Li Zheng composed himself and said, "I … I knew that Mu Shuang was working at the Qi Tian Corporation, so I sent someone to keep watch at the entrance of the Qi Tian Corporation. After she got off work, I followed her all the way and found you guys very easily. Then, I kept following you. In the end, I found you guys singing at the KTV, so I made a move … I know I was wrong, I admit my mistake, I'm guilty, please spare me, I won't dare to go against you again, really …"
Li Rui turned around and glanced at Mu Shuang. Mu Shuang was shocked and angrily said, "You actually followed me?"
Li Zheng said with a sad face, "I won't dare to do it again, really, I won't dare to do it again."
Li Rui said, "Surnamed Li, let me tell you, all the conflicts are between the two of us. It has nothing to do with others. If you're a man, come at me, don't have any ideas about Mu Shuang."
Li Zheng hurriedly explained, "I came for you. I didn't have any designs on Mu Shuang. I swear, I know that she won't be able to be with me, so I've long given up on her. You have to believe me."
Li Rui nodded and said, "I might as well believe you this once. You'd better keep your word. If I find out that you've done anything to hurt her, I'll rush over from Shannan to teach you a lesson! "
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, I definitely wouldn't dare. I'll definitely be an honest person in the future. I'll just … just pretend that I never knew you!"
Li Rui stood up and sighed, "You're a returned Cambridge Ph.D., but your methods are no different from those of a hooligan. I'll let you off this time. You can leave now. Remember, there won't be a next time. "
Li Zheng awkwardly turned over and crawled to his feet. He didn't even dare to raise his head and sneaked into the car. Under everyone's gaze, the Magotan slowly left and disappeared at the end of the street.
Only then did Li Rui have the time to thank the "Flying Knight Society" friends who came to help. He went forward to thank them, but it was already too late and inconvenient. Otherwise, he would definitely treat them to a drink.
After thanking them, the riders left one after another. Mu Shuang and Li Rui also got back into the car and returned to the KTV.
After picking up Fang Zhitong, Mu Shuang drove back home. On the way, Fang Zhitong asked about the whole story. Li Rui explained it to her. Only then did Fang Zhitong know that Li Zheng wanted to take revenge.
"Let's quickly leave this place and return to Qingyang. Once we're back, Li Zheng won't be able to take revenge on you!" Fang Zhitong said worriedly.
Li Rui said, "Even if you didn't say that, we would still be leaving tomorrow." After saying that, he looked at Mu Shuang.
Mu Shuang was also looking at him. The two of them looked at each other. Li Rui suddenly felt reluctant to leave this girl. Although they had only known each other for two days, they were already like old friends. After leaving this time, he didn't know if he would have the chance to see her again in the future.
The night passed without a word.
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Rui and Fang Zhitong said goodbye to Mu Shuang.
"… You have to be careful of Bai Meiping. Observe her more often. Once you notice any unusual actions from her, you have to be more vigilant. I have a feeling that she doesn't have good intentions by staying by your father's side."
After saying the usual farewell words like "You're welcome to visit me at Qingyang," Li Rui changed the topic and talked about business. He had a feeling that "Bai Meiping" wasn't a woman with a pure mind. Even her accomplice, Liu Yida, was suspicious of her intentions. How could he not be more careful around her? Moreover, her target, Mu Jingzu, was a rich man. In the eyes of a vicious and cunning kidnapper like her, he was no different from a huge piece of fat meat. How could she not make a move?
Mu Shuang said, "I know. Don't worry, I will also ask Brother Li to keep an eye on her."
Li Rui extended his hand to her and said, "If your father is interested in investing in Qingyang and wants to send an investigation team, I hope you can appear in the team. That way, I can also be the host and properly entertain you!"
Mu Shuang smiled and glanced at him. She shook his hand and said, "I will definitely be there. Just wait for me to eat you up!"
The three of them said their goodbyes. Li Rui and Fang Zhitong took a taxi to the hotel to meet up with Chen Yang before rushing to the airport. Mu Shuang originally wanted to send the three of them to the airport, but Li Rui thought that it wasn't convenient and tactfully rejected her. After all, there was an outsider, Chen Yang.
By the time they returned to Qingyang, it was already past four in the afternoon. Li Rui first sent Fang Zhitong home and the local specialties of Yangcheng that he bought at the airport back home. Only then did he drag Chen Yang back to Shuanghe. Today was Friday, and he actually didn't have to return to the county. However, with Chen Yang, he still had to consider canceling his leave with the acting county magistrate, Bo Yubing. Furthermore, he also had to find out about the big and small matters in the county over the past few days … In any case, it was better for him to make a trip back to Shuanghe.
At the same time that Li Rui was rushing to Shuanghe, Yang Qingqing's house in Shanghai's Jing 'an District welcomed an unfamiliar guest. At that time, only Yang Qingqing's father was at home, so he was the only one who welcomed the guest.
"Hello, Uncle. I'm Li Meiyi, Qingqing's good friend in Hong Kong. I came to Shanghai for a business trip and happened to have some time after work, so I came over to visit her. I heard that she has returned from America. May I know if she's at home?"
It was a young woman with average looks and a pretty good figure. She was tall and slender, graceful, and polite. Her clothes were fashionable and simple, giving people a good impression of her.
When Father Yang heard that she was his daughter's good friend, he invited her to the living room without any hesitation and poured tea for her. He asked curiously, "Didn't you call her when you came? She's already married to Jingnan City and is no longer in Shanghai. "
Li Meiyi wasn't surprised when she heard this and said, "Is that so? I've been too busy with work these past two years, so I haven't contacted her. However, she seems to have changed her phone number, so I can't contact her anymore. I was able to find this place because she told me her home address back then. Is she already married? Oh my god, did I miss her wedding? Looks like I have to buy a wedding gift first. "
Father Yang smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome. I believe that you, an old friend, coming to visit her is the best wedding gift you can give her. Wait a moment, I'll give you her new phone number. You can contact her directly when the time comes. "
Li Meiyi said, "Thank you, Uncle. Can you also tell me her current address? I still have two days, so I think I should have time to go to Jingnan City to find her. I haven't seen her for many years and I miss her very much. She's one of my few good friends. "
Father Yang was easily deceived by her lie. He didn't consider suspicious points such as "Why has my daughter never mentioned such a friend?" or "Since she is my daughter's good friend, why didn't my daughter invite her to her wedding?" He got up and went to the study to take out his notebook. When he returned to the living room, he told Li Meiyi his daughter's address and phone number in Jingnan City.
Li Meiyi carefully recorded it in her phone and said, "Uncle, I want to give Qingqing a surprise, so please don't tell her that I will go to Jingnan City to find her, okay?"
Father Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I believe that Qingqing will also like this kind of surprise." After he finished speaking, he noticed that it was already late and said, "It's not easy for you to come here, so don't leave tonight. Stay at home and have a meal. It's not too late to go to Jingnan City to see Qingqing tomorrow."
Li Meiyi hurriedly got up and waved her hand, "Thank you for your kindness, Uncle. I won't stay for dinner. I'll go back to buy a plane ticket and pack up so that I can see Qingqing as soon as possible …"
Father Yang didn't suspect her and said a few polite words to her before sending her out with a warm smile.
After Li Meiyi went downstairs, she walked out of the neighborhood and stood at the intersection to stop a car. She said to herself in her heart, "The target is in Jingnan City. That's the best. After the mission is completed, I can go directly to Qingyang City to find him … Ai, why do I know him? He's really my enemy!"
Just as she thought of this, a satellite phone in her bag suddenly vibrated. She took it out expressionlessly and asked in a cynical tone, "What orders does the boss have?"
"Can you do it or not? We already found that bitch's address and gave it to you. Two days have passed and you still haven't found her? If you can't even find her, how are you going to find the three enemies? "
A man's voice that was chilling to the bone sounded from the other end. It made people feel as if they were attacked by a cold wave and felt uncomfortable all over.
Li Meiyi said indifferently, "I took your money, so I will definitely help you. You just have to wait for the results. Also, if you continue to interfere with my actions like you are now, then I'm sorry, I won't accept this mission. I, 'Black Phoenix', have always been a lone wolf. It's already an exception that I can accept to work with you. Don't always challenge my bottom line. "
