Chapter 28

  Li Yiheng did not confirm or deny it, and curved his eyebrows as if smiling.

  He must have done it on purpose.

  Even the kiss that was cut off halfway outside the bathroom last night was intentional.

  He gave himself time to think again and again, even using a passionate kiss that took his breath away to remind himself that selling his body wasn't something to be taken lightly.

  Li Jin rolled her eyes and let out a sigh.

  No wonder Mr. Li has been in the romantic arena for 20 years, and everyone praises him as a master of relationships with both men and women.

  He is gentle to the bone, even reminding you to think carefully is so tactful and emotional, making you think back afterwards, only with a heart full of genuine gratitude, never willing to blame him for taking away your spring night.

  So Ke Yuan had fear and pain that year, but he didn't have any resentment.

  Mr. Li drove the car all the way to the intersection, and as he walked, the road became more and more narrow, with countless illegal buildings along the side of the road, and the gaps between the bricks were filled with dirty water and garbage everywhere. If it weren't for the tightly closed car windows, the overwhelming stench would have been enough to knock a few people unconscious.

  Li Jinguang was also very uncomfortable when he first came here, but after staying for a long time, he slowly got used to it. But at this moment, he felt extremely embarrassed and apologetic.

  Mr. Li, who grew up in a wealthy village, had probably never seen such a slum before.

  "Trouble you, stop here." Li Jin said aloud.

  Li Yiheng didn't understand: "Has your family arrived?"

  Li Jing stiffened his expression and lied: "Yes, it's in this building."

  He pointed at an old yellow-brown building in front of him.

  Li Yiheng nodded and stopped the car.

  He unfastened his seatbelt.

  Hands went to pull the car door handle.

  She leaned over to one side.

  Suddenly turned his head.

  In the rearview mirror, Mr. Li's eyes shone brightly, staring at him unwaveringly for a moment.

  "I have something to ask of you."

  Mr. Li smiled knowingly.

  Li Jin also smiled and sat up straight: "Were you just waiting for me to say that?"

  "You wouldn't come find me for no reason." Li Yiheng tapped on the steering wheel, smiling and asking: "You're really calm, what do you want?"

  "My friend, Luo Fei, was going to participate in the Chinese Star Voice competition, but something went wrong. He passed the sea selection smoothly, but was suddenly disqualified." Li Jindao said: "I heard that Chinese Star Voice is hosted by Xinhuo Weishi, and you are the big boss of Xinhuo Weishi."

  Li Yi Heng nodded: "I know."

  Li Jin understood, this is what "don't worry" means.

  He didn't suspect anything and felt completely at ease. He waved his hand at Li Yiheng, jumped off the car, and walked into the building without looking back.

  Of course, lies can't be exposed, so he naturally entered the building that was randomly pointed at.

  Li Jin hid in the corridor for half a day, and when he heard the sound of cars starting outside, he drove far away on the old and neglected road. He walked out with his clothes tidy. As soon as he took a step forward, he was stunned.

  Fifty meters away, Mr. Li's Bentley was parked steadily by the side of the road.

  Li Jinhuan's whole body stiffened, as if he could see clearly in the rearview mirror, Mr. Li quietly gazing at his own pair of eyes.

  He ran over without hesitation.

  The window went down and Mr. Li stretched out his hand, gently scratching his nose: "Little liar, not afraid of a long nose."

  Li Jin was thick-skinned, but being teased like this made him feel embarrassed: "I'm afraid you'll get your car dirty if you drive in."

  "Let's move to a better place," said Li Yiheng.

  "Let's talk about it after I make some money." Li Jin shrugged his shoulders.

  Mr. Li smiled and said to him: "I'm leaving."

  Li Jin nodded: "Goodbye."

  "Goodbye?" Mr. Li smiled and nodded: "Good."

  Then the car window rose, and Li Jin retreated a few steps back, watching as his car drove away.

  But after just a few words, Li Jin's mood suddenly improved, and he walked home with quick and light steps, as if floating in the air. Along the old stairs, several steps at a time, finally jumping up the last few steps, standing right in front of the door.

  He took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. His hand habitually went to turn the doorknob, turned it once, and surprisingly, the door opened.

  Isn't locked?

  As soon as I stepped inside, a dark shadow flashed before my eyes in the next second, and my breath caught.

  "Xiao Jin, where have you gone!" Lou Fei's voice, slightly choked with tears, was indistinct and unclear: "I thought you'd been kidnapped!"

  Li Jin was being held in his arms like a doll, with her ears, eyes and nose all covered, unable to breathe or hear anything. Her good mood was ruined, she pushed him away with a mix of punches and kicks, took two deep breaths: "I haven't been kidnapped yet, but you're suffocating me!"

  Luo Fei only then realized he had lost control of his emotions, scratching his hair and smiling foolishly: "Sorry." After a pause: "Where did you go?"

  Li Jin knew he was also nervous about himself, so he didn't mind him and even felt a little moved.

  "I'll go find a friend to help out and see if I can get you into the competition." He hung his clothes in the closet, picked up the phone on the table, and turned it on.

  "Is this suit also specially bought for him?" Luo Fei pointed at Li Jin's outfit.

  The jeans and T-shirt I wore when I went out were thrown away in the specialty store, let alone Ruo Fei's brain-supplemented reason is very good, better than being honest with him that in order to sell a good price at Mr. Li's place, I had to dress up as a person, so Li Jin Shun Slope down the donkey: "Right."

  "Talked all night?" Rong Fei was still a bit sharp at times.

  "He...he lives far away." Li Jinguo choked his neck and lied: "After finishing the talk, he didn't have time to go home, so he stayed overnight."

  "Where did you get so much energy from, friend?" Luo Fei asked in pursuit: "How didn't I know?"

  "Idiot!" Lei Jin coughed and said: "When I was out making a name for myself, you were still in school being a top student. There are several people with very strange connections that you don't know about."

  "Really?" Kuo Fei clearly didn't believe it.

  "Really." He lowered his head, avoiding the clear and piercing gaze of Lu Fei.

  "But... I've never been a good student..." Luo Fei asked hesitantly, his mind preoccupied with another matter, "So did he... agree to help?"

  Li Jin hesitated: "He said..."

  "Ding——"

  Suddenly, the phone buzzed.

  On the screen, Bei Fengming's name is jumping wildly.

  Li Jin and Luo Fei exchanged a glance before pressing the answer button.

  "Li Jin! You finally picked up! I've been calling you for the entire morning!" Bei Fuming's voice was almost piercing through the atmosphere: "Tomorrow, bring Luo Fei to the station for reporting first thing in the morning!"

  "What...what?" Li Jin was somewhat taken aback.

  "Big brother, I admit defeat! You've completely won me over!" Bei Fuming exclaimed loudly: "Which god did you finally find to solve this problem? Do you know that Xinghua Media greased the wheels of everyone in the station just to get their artist to participate, but... which road did you take to get help from a god?! The leaders above didn't even say half a 'no', and smoothly approved it as an exception! Brother Li Jing, this is truly a case of 'a real man doesn't show his face'! I, your little brother, admit defeat!"

  "Haha, haha......" Li Jin could already clearly feel that Luo Fei's gaze towards him was not right. He raised his head and dryly laughed: "My friend is in Shanxi opening a coal mine, he's quite rich, haha......"

  Luo Fei wouldn't believe it even if he was an idiot.

  Li Jin turned his back, avoiding the inquiring gaze of Huo Fei, and lowered his voice to say to Bai Fuming: "I'll take Huo Fei over there early tomorrow morning. Thanks for this matter. Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up."

  "Something's up." Bei Fuming said: "Tomorrow, after you've taken care of Luo Fei, come find me at the Weishi Building, 5th floor, room 517."

  "What's wrong?" asked Li Jin.

  "You'll know when you get here." Pausing for three seconds, he added: "Dress warmly!"

  "Are you going to introduce her to me?" Li Jin rolled his eyes: "Alright! See you tomorrow."

  The phone hung up, and Luo Fei immediately stuck to it: "Xiao Jin, who did you go find? Is it really a friend?"
