Hearing his suspicion, Li Yan retorted, "Li Tai’s own people weren’t there, and there were many other people at the repair shop who can prove that it was a girl driving the car, but it wasn’t Yu Xiaodi. If I knew you kidnapped her, would I still have the mood to sit there watching my car? I would have just ramd the car into soone!"
Li Yonghao frowned. He didn’t act personally; he assigned Zhang Bin and Chen Feiyang to handle it, along with so others for protection. To avoid any implication if discovered, Li Tai didn’t even show up at the repair shop. The information he knew was relayed from others. But those people didn’t see Yu Xiaodi being loaded into the car; they only said it was a girl, assuming it was her since she was the only girl taken away. They naturally thought the one driving out was her.
Now, hearing Li Yan’s words, he began to reflect. Was there another girl who slipped in? Yu Xiaodi’s double? A bodyguard? Did they sneak in through the car trunk, the car roof, or from the repair shop?
Li Yonghao felt it was necessary to thoroughly investigate again.
"Alright, for now, let’s say the repair shop matter isn’t related to you. Now that we’ve both confessed, the positions on both sides are clear..."
"So?" Li Yan looked at him.
Li Yonghao laughed happily, "Tsk, tsk! Li Yan, Li Yan, you’re indeed a bit better than the average person, but you also think too highly of yourself."
Li Yan chuckled, "True, my self-assessnt is a bit too good."
"You’ve attempted to kidnap his daughter several tis; do you think Mr. Yu doesn’t know who is behind it?"
At that point, Li Yonghao laughed a bit self-deprecatingly, "You’re a small fry, and I... well, I’m just a gun."
"You have no other choice, just like I was innocently dragged into this. And you, strong as you are, also need support from others, which makes it even more helpless for you." Li Yan tossed him a cigarette, lighting one for himself as well.
Seeing them smoking while chatting, Zhang Jing and Cui Ming were puzzled. What was this? A mutual pity? The satisfaction before death? Are they going to act after smoking?
The two silently took a few drags. Li Yan broke the silence, "In fact... I don’t know what other ans you have, but as for Xiaodi’s affairs, I know them all. So, eting you today, I can pretty much guess. You even admitted it just now. What do you plan to do with ?"
"Whether you know or not, it doesn’t matter. Yu Hong knows; his enemy isn’t . As for you..." Li Yonghao showed a slight smile, "Perhaps we can cooperate!"
"Ha! Act as your insider?" Li Yan laughed, feeling that he really had a knack for being undercover; both Hai Fu and Li Yonghao chose him. It would be fine if it were Liang Chaowei, but if Sun Honglei, it feels a bit thunderous.
"My boss behind has soone on Yu Hong’s side, and Yu Hong also has soone on ours. You’re not the first, nor will you be the last. Although it’s the first ti we et, I admire your calmness. I have a good eye for people. If you help us, you could be quite useful.
I can take the liberty to offer you a business card and a check. Think about it." Li Yonghao casually offered the terms.
Li Yan imdiately shook his head, "Don’t! Don’t even ntion business cards, don’t even tell your na. I accidentally t Yu Xiaodi; she’s innocent as well. In fact, it has nothing to do with them."
The previously appreciative Li Yonghao imdiately felt disappointed, not because of Li Yan’s refusal, which would be suspicious if he agreed imdiately, but he was disappointed with Li Yan’s imdiate distancing from both sides. From this, he saw that this was a person scared of getting into trouble. Being scared as an insider is fine, but fearing trouble is not.
"Forget it, you can leave! Unless it’s proven you beco my enemy, I won’t touch you." Towards Li Yan, he remained skeptical, and without confirmation, he didn’t want a formal confrontation with this person.
Just letting him go like this? Zhang Jing and Cui Ming, who had been waiting for an excuse to erupt, doubted their hearing.
"Thanks... for the cigarette." Li Yan nodded, "I won’t join your fight, but I also don’t wish anyone to investigate or harm my family and friends. Just like today, if I et you, I won’t back down, nor will I implicate those I just t and couldn’t even finish a al with, who can’t even count as friends. Barefooted ones aren’t afraid of those in shoes, I fear no one."
"Damn! You dare threaten us? Are you seeking death?" Zhang Jing was about to lose his temper but quickly glanced at Li Yonghao to gauge his true intentions.
At this mont, the always calm Li Yan suddenly exploded. He quickly turned his head, getting close as if about to kiss. Before Zhang Jing could react, his face was already inches away. He heard his roar in his ear, "Drag you down if I seek death!"
Human physiology and psychology have adaptation periods, a slap hurts a lot, the second one hurts less, and after several slaps, one adapts. Just like Zhang Jing’s fierce montum, initially scary, but after spending ti together, one gets used to it.
Li Yan’s attitude and reaction, in their eyes, weren’t intimidating or awe-inspiring, rely calm. They were used to Li Yan’s deanor, but such a gentle guy suddenly being more aggressive than Zhang Jing surprised them.
Especially Zhang Jing, spat upon by Li Yan at such close proximity, unable to clearly see his expression or eyes, but he saw himself in them, hmm, and maybe his murderous intent, enveloped by Li Yan’s voice.
At this mont, a staggered Zhang Jing wasn’t afraid of being beaten up but feared in his excitent he might be kissed, hurriedly raising a hand to block.
"I’ll leave now, goodbye!"
Li Yan returned to normal as if the previous action hadn’t happened, then got up and left.
"Bah, bah, psycho!" Zhang Jing wiped the spit off his face, feeling more disgusted than angry, not pursuing imdiately.
Cui Ming flashed a charming look, murmuring, "Quite manly, who’d have thought..."
Performance, emotions, mindset, capable of restraint and explosive force... Li Yonghao watched Li Yan’s back, secretly thinking, is this trained at the negotiation table? I just need such talent...
...
Seeing Li Yan co out, Xiao Bi’s eyes almost popped out
"Don’t gawk! Why mimic Zhang Jing? Walk to the door!"
Xiao Bi hurriedly called for the service car, unable to hold back from asking, "You okay? Want to go back and eat sothing?"
"Eat what? Not in the mood! Going back, they’d worry I might scare them away."
The service car just arrived, and the driver heard Li Yan’s words and couldn’t help but feel a sense of respect.
Xiao Bi admired him but quickly said, "No problem!"
"I’m a guest of soone else, they’re gone now, you’re treating? If you treat, I won’t leave!" Li Yan seed interested.
Treat? Are we well-acquainted? I’m still hoping for so commission! Considering Pan Qingjun and the others might have checked out of the restaurant, Xiao Bi quickly put on a sincere expression, "You’re busy, maybe next ti! Call next ti, I’ll arrange everything, free rooms!"
He didn’t ntion treating, politely handed a business card, showing he was instructed by Li Yonghao to wait here, and had the service car take Li Yan out.
There were taxis just outside the resort. Returning to the city, Li Yan didn’t rush to the company but found a quiet place to call Zhou Yunfei. That day after picking up Yu Xiaodi at the hotel, for quick mutual contact, Zhou Yunfei and Li Jie gave him their numbers.
When he called Zhou Yunfei, the call was either ignored or due to so grudge from the other day at the restaurant, Zhou Yunfei directly hung up on him. He pondered for a mont then called Li Jie.
"It’s you? What’s up?" Li Jie asked softly.
"I was trying to reach Zhou Yunfei, that thing hung up on ..."
"He’s not a thing!" Li Jie still respected Zhou Yunfei quite a bit, and hearing this made her say, "You’re the one who’s a thing!"
"That’s your word, isn’t it?"
"..."
"Alright, let’s get serious, among Yu Family’s security and guards, there are so of the other side’s insiders. I inford Yu Hong before, not sure if he took it seriously, so tell Zhou Yunfei!" Li Yan finished and hung up. Last ti, the main issue was not ntioning that the four people were led by him.
