(Happy weekend. The extras are starting to appear. If any buddies want to cao as extras, please leave a ssage in the pinned post in the book review section, and Old Lai will add you when the ti is right.)
To corroborate her words, Li Yan lifted a stack of proposals in his hand without saying much.
It was after working hours. Even if they were here for a dinner date, as a superior, he had no right to say more. Seeing that Zhang Yurong didn’t express anything, Ye Jiahong also nodded, "You guys... continue! We’re going to et a client."
They imdiately headed towards the corridor, with Ke Yunyun going ahead to ask a waiter about their reserved room.
"It’s all your fault!" Wen Qianyi, who pressed the elevator again, glared at Li Yan.
Li Yan glared back, "My fault for what? It was you who said the ambiguous things; it was you who spoke to cover up. You see, I didn’t say anything, that’s called silence is golden."
Wen Qianyi felt embarrassed for just a mont, but then she didn’t care. Whether there was an affair between them, she knew it herself. Work performance was what she valued; the rest was just sothing to laugh off.
Seeing her quickly regain composure without being confused, Li Yan couldn’t help but secretly admire her. As a stunning beauty, she must be subject to gazes and gossip behind her back. Yet, soone mature in mind can see through the essence and not overly entangle themselves. Like Zhang Yurong, who was cold and intimidating, though she might not have rumors, she was likely exhausting for both herself and others.
This ti Zhang Yurong really brought a few subordinates along. Li Yan didn’t worry about her and directly left the clubhouse with Wen Qianyi.
Although there was a buffet and drinks prepared at the party, most guests were from the film industry. Even if they weren’t stars, they held themselves with a certain status. The investors also didn’t want to lose face in front of them, so everyone behaved elegantly and didn’t eat much. The main focus was on networking and introductions. Li Yan didn’t care much about such decorum, but unfortunately, after being introduced by Dai Junnie, he and Wen Qianyi hardly had any free ti. As soon as soone left, others ca over imdiately, leaving no ti to eat.
After leaving, they found another popular restaurant to eat at, and then parted ways. Wen Qianyi let Li Yan take half the materials ho to study by himself first.
Seeing it was getting late, and assuming Zhang Yurong had already returned, Li Yan headed straight ho.
...
Passing the section of road where they previously collided with Yu Xiaodi and his gang, he stopped the car, ran uncivilized to the roadside, and relieved himself.
After finishing and getting back in the car, he didn’t continue ho but turned around and left at a nonchalant pace. This ti, instead of returning to the city, he got on the national highway and drove further into the outskirts.
He drove until he reached a place called Qingsong Town. Beyond this town was another city’s jurisdiction. The area was well-developed but couldn’t compare to the city. Only the town center remained lively this late. The place where Li Yan parked was right before entering the town center. On one side of the highway was undeveloped wasteland, with the industrial area farther ahead.
Li Yan got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and looked at a section of the highway.
After a while, a minivan that had been tailing him followed and parked nearby. Four n got out of the vehicle, approached Li Yan, and surrounded him on the roadside.
"How far are you planning on following ?" Li Yan, with a cigarette in his mouth, surveyed the four n squinting.
"Since you already know who we are and know you can’t escape, co with us! Soone wants to see you."
Li Yan took a deep drag on his cigarette, eyeing the speaker — a cold-faced man with a rather heroic appearance.
"No rush, let finish this cigarette first."
"Wow! So humane, huh." Li Yan clapped twice and gave a thumbs up, continuing, "What’s your na?"
The cold-faced man’s lips twitched with disdain, "Lin Huixiang."
"And you guys?"
Seeing Li Yan’s nonchalant deanor, two of them weren’t pleased and cursed, "What the fuck! Why do you need our nas?"
Another one directly taunted, "Grandpa Cui Kai here! Call Brother Kai!"
"Damn you, I call myself Daddy, you call yourself Grandpa, grabbing the upper hand?" A playful scolding ensued.
"Punk! If I’m Brother Kai, won’t I lose out? Better call Grandfather Kai!" Cui Kai laughed.
Lin Huixiang was clearly the leader among them. Despite thinking the task was foolproof, he maintained his cool deanor, feeling that sothing was amiss.
Li Yan exhaled so smoke, seemingly at ease rather than threatened, as he mused, "There’s a gap! Listening to you guys talk is like watching ’Triad.’ But this guy here, he has a bit of Johnny To’s style. You’ve got potential!"
"I know ’Triad.’ Who’s Johnny To? Nicholas Tse? Damn! Do you even have any culture? Haven’t you watched TV?" Cui Kai scoffed, wishing he could just slash this uncultured guy.
"Flatterer! Brother Xiang is a tough guy, no way Nicholas Tse has this aura!" The other two also mocked Li Yan.
"Let’s go!" Lin Huixiang said coldly.
"Alright, I’ll cooperate. Don’t hit ," Li Yan quickly tossed away his cigarette and followed them willingly.
The four n weren’t surprised; if they couldn’t even intimidate one unard man, they’d be too embarrassed to show their faces.
At the minivan, two n went in first. Cui Kai tossed the knife onto the passenger seat and got into the front to drive. Lin Huixiang stayed behind, only getting in after seeing Li Yan inside.
When Lin Huixiang closed the door, Cui Kai started the vehicle while cursing. Li Yan, sandwiched between people in front and back, suddenly asked, "I noticed you tailing . Why not run to the city, the police station, or crowded places, but co all the way here to stop?"
"Why? You little shit!" Cui Kai responded.
"Because there are no caras along this stretch." Li Yan opened his mouth to smile, showing an eerily white set of teeth in the dim car.
Because there were no caras along this route? They were montarily confused, wondering if he might care about being seen?
Lin Huixiang sensed sothing was wrong, but as he realized it, Li Yan had already struck, knocking out the two n beside and in front of him! His forehead then collided with Lin’s face, causing dizziness, followed by another punch that knocked him out too.
As Cui Kai was about to continue driving to turn around, noticing the ruckus in the back, he imdiately glanced behind. Seeing Li Yan counterattack, he hurriedly reached for the waterlon knife.
Before he could get out of the car, Li Yan quickly dealt with the three at the back. Cui Kai felt Li Yan’s gaze piercing him in the dimness, touching the depths of his soul and making his heart tremble.
"Just drive away!" Li Yan straightforwardly got out of the car.
"Okay..." Cui Kai didn’t know why he agreed, as he hadn’t intended to. His mind was filled with thoughts, scanning the vicinity, and then he started the car, having tossed the waterlon knife aside long ago.
After getting out, Li Yan returned to the roadside, retrieved the discarded cigarette butt, and blew off the ashes on the ground. Then he got into his car and continued driving.
If you have sothing to address with directly, you shouldn’t have tracked ho... Li Yan fell silent for a while, then slowly drove away.
