Chen Li got straight to the point, and Zhang Sankui didn't dare to waste words, lowering his voice to say:

"I heard from that guy that this shipment will arrive at the cargo terminal tonight, but the exact time is unclear."

"Recently, things have been tense, and the investigations are very strict. Within two days, all the goods may be distributed to buyers from all walks of life. Moreover, Tiger specifically instructed that if any changes occur, the goods should be destroyed immediately, and no evidence should be left behind."

He also said that Yuan Tao was directing operations remotely and would not participate directly, which might make it difficult to catch thieves and smugglers.

Chen Li crossed his arms, rubbed his chin, and confirmed:

Is the information accurate?

Zhang Sankui raised his hand and said as if making an oath:

"I swear on my life, this brother of mine has a life-or-death bond with me, he won't lie to me."

Chen Li sneered:

"If you're so close to me, why are you following Yuan Tao?"

Zhang Sankui rubbed his hands together and smiled sheepishly:

"That bastard Yuan Tao has always wanted to eat me alive, so I had to keep a backup plan. I used a military tactic, pretending to have a falling out with that brother, and had him infiltrate the enemy as an inside agent."

Chen Li sneered:

"You learned this trick from Yuan Tao, didn't you? He placed Guo Cailin next to me so he could control my every move."

Zhang Sankui was embarrassed:

"Oh, Brother Dali, women are like clothes. That woman is far inferior to Lu Xue, so why bother about her?"

Fearing that the conversation would fall apart and she would suffer the consequences, she quickly changed the subject:

"If Brother Dali is short of manpower, I will send a few of my capable subordinates to your command."

Chen Li replied:

"No need. Don't let a fourth person know this. But I must warn you, if you try to play me, you'll face the consequences."

"No, no, I wouldn't dare even if you gave me ten lives. I have nothing but hatred for Yuan Tao, I wish I could kill him right now, how could I..."

Before Zhang Sankui could finish speaking, Chen Li took off his white coat and mask, handed them to him to handle, and opened the door and went out.

Zhang Sankui lay on the bed, groaning and covered in a cold sweat.

Five years have passed.

Chen Li seemed like a completely different person; he had become arrogant and reserved, and exceptionally cold and ruthless.

Not surprising.

Parents will feel better if someone dies; they can't sleep well unless they kill the enemy.

I hope I can do more for Brother Dali, ease his resentment, and spare my life.

In the morgue.

The drawer of the refrigerated cabinet numbered 201, containing the body, was pulled open. Inside, a fair-skinned young man lay with dilated pupils, his pale face covered with a thin layer of frost, and his cell phone on his chest was ringing.

The murderer was extremely cruel.

It's outrageous.

"Brother Jin, Ah Hui is dead."

The man with the small mustache held his phone, his throat tightening. This was his cousin, who had come to Yuncheng with him to make a fortune. He didn't know how to tell his family when he got home.

On the other end of the phone.

Zhang Jin paused for a moment, then said calmly:

"He was warning us not to follow him anymore, or more people would die."

"Once this transaction is completed, I'll spend a lot of time with him."

"Find a way to remove the body, stop tracking, and keep an eye on the mother and daughter."

……

After leaving Harmony Hospital, Chen Li deliberately walked past the black SUV that had been following him, whose license plate ended with three sixes.

Through the car window.

Chen Li and Zhang Jin, with the hooked nose, locked eyes for a fleeting moment, then Chen Li leaned close to Zhang Jin in a provocative warning.

Zhang Jin gritted his teeth, feeling even more humiliated than being slapped directly. He put on his sunglasses and gave the order:

"Let's go to Tiger's place."

Chen Li drove home and finally found himself without any cars following him. He killed the person who was following him to make an example of them and warn them not to have any improper thoughts about Lu Xue and her daughter.

That night, he was going to the cargo terminal to track down the goods that Yuan Tao was in charge of. He couldn't go openly; there were definitely eyes watching him around the neighborhood. He had to pull off a clever escape, catching them completely off guard.

In addition, another vehicle is needed for backup.

He dialed Miss Mu's number and said:

"Where?"

Mu Ningshuang replied:

"At home, my grandfather said that Tiger Lord has lost a general and will definitely seek revenge. He was afraid that I would regret dragging you down, so he called me home to work remotely."

"What's wrong? With a beautiful dancer like Lu by your side, why are you suddenly missing me?"

Isn't it still swollen?

Why does your speech carry a seductive and playful tone?

Girls are so hard to understand.

Chen Li drove back and said:

"She's my female neighbor. She adopted a child, but then had a bad relationship with the wrong person and couldn't even afford to eat, so I just helped her out."

"Don't get the wrong idea, he's a decent person."

Mu Ningshuang teased:

"If I don't understand men, how can I not understand women?"

"You've helped her so much, aren't you so moved that you'll offer yourself to her?"

"In my opinion, don't pretend to be a gentleman. When it's time to act, act decisively. Don't think it's bad for the other person to suffer a loss. They might actually feel like they slept with you for free and be secretly happy about it."

Chen Li said speechlessly:

"Don't think of others with your filthy mind. How about I take you out for some excitement tonight? You dare?"

Mu Ningshuang smiled and said:

"My head is spinning from reading documents and I'm about to doze off, but what you're saying has woken me up! How exciting! Where should we go?"

Chen Li replied:

"After dark, drive a quiet car to the location I sent you and wait there. I'll let you know then."

"As for your grandfather, I'll tell him to remind you not to reveal your whereabouts."

Mu Ningshuang exclaimed excitedly:

"Don't worry, my makeup skills are top-notch. You might not even recognize me if I stood right in front of you, let alone anyone else."

After agreeing on the terms, Chen Li hung up the phone and returned to his apartment complex.

Lu Xue cooked a few good dishes and wanted to invite Chen Li to eat with her, but she didn't know when he would come back, so she pretended to tidy up the shoe cabinet and squatted by the door to listen for any sounds.

After Xiao Ziyan finished her homework, it was time to eat, but her mother didn't call her to eat.

Even though she's young, the girl understands what adults are thinking.

She didn't expose him, and went back to do her homework again.

When Lu Xue heard the elevator door ding, her heart leaped with joy, like fireworks exploding. She subconsciously brushed her hair aside, glanced at the prepared trash bag, and hesitated, wondering whether to open the door and pretend to throw away the trash.

Then she thought, Chen Li has such a prominent status, and even his secretary is so beautiful and elegant. She is just a woman with a child. How could she be worthy of him?

While hesitating, Xiao Ziyan finally spoke up to remind her:

"Mom, I'm hungry. We can't finish all this food. Can we invite Uncle Chen Li to eat with us?"

Lu Xue's hesitation was bolstered by courage, and she nodded, saying:

"Okay, go and call Uncle Chen Li to see if he's eaten yet."

"Yay!"

Little Ziyan ran to open the door and saw Chen Li opening it just in time. She happily exclaimed:

"Uncle, you just got back? My mom cooked lots of delicious food. Why don't you come over and have some with us?"

Lu Xue hid behind the door frame, somewhat embarrassed to show herself.

Chen Li thought about the important things he had to do that evening, and realized it wouldn't be appropriate to go to someone's house for the first time without bringing a gift and just asking for a meal. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and replied:

"I've already eaten dinner. You and Mom should eat now. Thank you, Xiao Ziyan."

Lu Xue thought he was disgusted with her, and her mood suddenly dropped. She lowered her head and picked at her fingers.

Xiao Ziyan glanced back and said with a smile:

"Oh, goodnight, Uncle."

"Okay, goodnight."

Chen Li opened the door, shook her hand, and went inside.

"Mom, Uncle Chen Li said he's already eaten. I can tell him earlier tomorrow. It's too much trouble to cook for one person."

She looked up at her mother, feeling a pang of sadness.

Lu Xue stroked her head, feeling a warmth in her heart, and smiled brightly:

"You've finished your homework, let's eat."

She poured the decanted, inexpensive red wine into a glass.

Xiao Ziyan asked:

"Mom, are you unhappy? Why are you drinking?"

Lu Xue smiled and said:

"Mom only drinks when she's happy."

"Mom found a job. If she works hard, she can earn 10,000 yuan a month. And Uncle Chen Li helped her find it."

"I'll drink alcohol, you drink milk, cheers!"

Xiao Ziyan said happily:

"Mom is awesome, cheers!"

Lu Xue tilted her head back, drank it down in one gulp, and gave herself to him while drunk, owing him no favors.
