Chapter Eighty-Five

  Li Jin was kidnapped?

  On set, the sound of human voices was deafening, chaotic and noisy. Shu Mu hid far away from the crowd, staring blankly at his phone in hand.

  He had only met Li Jin a few times, although he had previously been troubled by his eavesdropping and had recently become more familiar with him, but the two were not close.

  Moreover, Li Yiheng's words implied that he was openly suspicious of him?

  I'm not that stupid, right? I just had a fight with Li Jin and was completely at a disadvantage, unable to counterattack. And then, I play the kidnapping revenge card, isn't it obvious that I'm telling the whole world that Li Jin is the one I caught?

  Or is Li Yiheng's heart not in the wine?

  Shu Mu suddenly sat up, the woolen blanket that was draped over his shoulders slid down to his legs as he moved, and his body was exposed to the cold air.

  He had been secretly competing with Li Yiheng for so many years, and that person understood him, so he shouldn't believe that this was something he did. Then, what was the point of his making this call?

  "Old fox!" Shu Mu sneered coldly and cursed under his breath as he dialed the number.

  Before long, the phone was connected, and the voice on the other end was sweet and gentle, calling out to him: "Ashu..."

  Shu Mu smiled: "Xiao Xiao, where are you?"

  "I'm at home." He Yuesong replied.

  "Really?" Shu Mu still smiled, "I was in a hurry today and forgot to bring the documents on the second drawer of my bedside table at home. Can you help me take a look? What's the first line of words on the top of the first page?"

  "No problem," He Yuesong said, "Are you in a hurry? I'll send it over to you later."

  "I'm in a hurry, so just read it out loud for me, Shangshang."

  "Axu, wait a moment, I'll send it over to you right away..."

  "No, just recite it for me, Shuangshuang, just reciting it is enough."

  "Axu, don't worry, I'll be right there..."

  "Heyu Sheng!" Xumu suddenly lowered his face and coldly interrupted him, "Where are you exactly?"

  "I...". The person on the other end of the phone remained silent for a long time before finally giving in, "I'm at Fenghuang Steel Factory."

  The Fifth Ring Road.

  Fifteen minutes ago, a car accident just occurred here. A black sedan lost control on the street and crashed into an electric pole at high speed, causing the sedan to be completely scrapped. The driver was then forcibly dragged onto a black off-road vehicle by several unidentified men after the accident and escaped westward.

  That's all the situation that onlookers can provide.

  Li Yiheng stood by the car, gazing at the vehicle that once belonged to Li Jin but was now completely unrecognizable, his expression so gloomy that no one dared to approach him.

  The others arrived at the scene first, and after asking about the direction of the escape, they chased after him in no time. However, Xicheng is an old city area with many intersections and more villages within the city, so while chasing, they lost their way. Helplessly, they could only split up to search, but this would inevitably delay them.

  Li Yiheng mentally calculated that it had been fifteen minutes since the car accident, and he seemed to see Lijin's life like an inverted hourglass, slowly trickling away.

  He suddenly regretted giving Shu Mu an hour to think about it.

  This hour was originally left by him for himself and for the other party as a buffer. After all, even if he wants to force a hard collision, he needs time to prepare before he can make a hit. Moreover, with Li Jin in the opponent's hands, he is more afraid of being too tight, causing the opponent to jump over the wall and directly kill Li Jin.

  But now he regrets it, he regrets that he shouldn't have left this one hour, at that time he should have directly led people to kill them, forcing them...

  "Mr. Li," Lin Xin's voice suddenly appeared beside his ear, "I've brought someone."

  Li Yiheng's body shook, and his originally turbid eyes suddenly cleared up. He took a deep breath, as if the murky energy in his heart that made him lose his mind also dissipated with it.

  If he really brought people to kill him, then he would not be the calm and meticulous Li Yiheng, but the reckless Luo Fei.

  "Who?" he asked, turning his head.

  Lin Xingrang is a post-80s man.

  That man looked over thirty years old, of medium build, with an unimpressive appearance. However, there was a white scar on the left side of his face from his chin to behind his ear, making him look extremely menacing. But when he opened his mouth, he spoke in a gentle and refined manner, just like a school teacher.

  "Hello Mr. Li, I'm He Wen Zheng, Brother Jiang sent me to help you." He Wen Zheng nodded slightly, his expression was polite but his movements didn't show any flattery.

  Li Yi Heng smiled slightly: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

  "Mr. Li was polite, and the matter of the young master's affair was quickly settled thanks to Mr. Li's help. Jiang Ge has always been grateful to you, he asked me to tell you that you can rest assured. Although this matter is a bit tricky, whoever hurt Mr. Li is equivalent to hurting Jiang Ge's people, he will definitely do his best to help you." He Wen Zheng said, "Our brothers have already been dispatched and are searching the entire city, I believe there will be news soon."

  Li Yiheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but take another look at He Wen Zheng.

  Jiang Jin is indeed Lie Fei's biological father.

  After Luo Fei left home, he followed his adoptive father's surname. Although the Eighth Small Shop had the support of the He family and dared to make an issue out of Luo Fei's father being in the underworld, they still didn't dare to clarify things due to Jiang Jing's face.

  So everyone thought that Luo Fei's father was just a local tyrant, no matter how big his territory was, it was still limited to the three streets outside their own door.

  Even the survey data in Li Jin's hand was written like this.

  If Li Jin is lucky enough to see the real version of that material, he might change his plan and no longer seek help from Mr. Li, but instead turn directly to Luo Fei's biological father for help.

  Because Chiang Kai-shek has been too prominent for more than half a year.

  He first led his men to pacify a gang that had dominated the southeastern part of the city for many years, and then used three days to take over the bar street near the rich district in the east of the city. Last month, he even took over the largest of the city's three docks without firing a shot, and openly started smuggling business.

  To know that the dock had been eyeing for several years, but didn't take it down, while Jiang Jin, an outsider, a monk from afar, actually took it down so easily.

  So He's bringing up his father's gangster past at this critical moment, it's hard to say whether there's an intention to add fuel to the fire for Jiang Jing.

  But gave Li Yiheng an opportunity.

  He was previously uninvolved in the underworld and his dealings with the triad were limited to being a protective umbrella for a few big shots, but if he wanted to take on the He family, he couldn't do it without playing dirty.

  Building power from scratch is too slow and difficult, it's better to cooperate with the already semi-established forces and support them in opposing the He family.

  After careful consideration, Li Yiheng set his sights on Jiang Jing.

  Jiang Jin is a boastful person, nobody can put up with him. It's said that he moved his whole family from their original place to the big city P because of a simple reason: he thought he was poor, extremely poor. City P is big and has many business opportunities, so it's perfect for making some money.

  So he set his sights on the city's underworld leader He Shi, thinking that if he took them down, he wouldn't be poor anymore.

  What can be done? In the old home, brothers with knives can cut out a path to wealth, but in the big city P, you need to pave the way with gold leaves.

  Jiang Jintrembled with a headache, muttering three meals a day, poor, really poor.

  Even if he's poor, he looks down on everyone. Even if Li Yiheng, the wealthy landowner, had a mountain of gold at home, he would still look down on him.

  Heavenly gift of good marriage, now there's this matter with Ling Fei.

  Li Yiheng almost single-handedly led Lei Jin into a dead end, leaving him with no choice but to ask for his help.

  As a good friend of Qin Yige and the major shareholder of Xinhuo Weishi, Li Yihe naturally lent a helping hand and afterwards expressed himself in a very gentlemanly manner, saying it was nothing, just a small effort.

  Jiang Jin is a man who doesn't take crap from anyone, but his wife and children are the only ones he can't bear to hurt.

  His wife is by his side, and their only son has become his everything.

  Even if he was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood and cut off their relationship, Luo Fei was still his own son, whom he held in the palm of his hand.

  So Jiang Jin felt that he owed Li Yiheng a great favor, and after much persuasion, he invited Li Yiheng to dinner through an intermediary. During the meal, Li Yiheng was elegant and refined, his demeanor as a young master of a noble family for many years completely opened the eyes of the rustic landlord Jiang Jin, who almost regarded him as a close friend.

  It's almost it.

  At the critical moment, He Wen stopped Jiang Jin who was drunk and had red eyes, apologized to Li Yi politely, and then sent him back home with the driver.

  Afterwards, Jiang Jing saw Li Yi Heng again, although they were affectionate, but after all, he never forgot to be on his guard at every moment.

  It doesn't matter, Li Yi Heng never intended to be his sworn brother anyway, he was just using him.

  From that day on, He Wen Zheng entered Li Yi Heng's eyes.

  Jiang Jin's ability, put in a small place, is enough to dominate one side, but put in P City, surrounded by wolves, it's really not enough. In the past six months, he was able to rise mainly because He Wen was planning beside him.

  He Wenrong, who came from nowhere, gained Jiang Jieshi's trust in a very short period of time and became the second-in-command of the Chiang family.

  Li Yiheng looked at He Wen Zheng beside him with a thoughtful expression.

  The day he first met Jiang Jing, Jiang Jing got drunk and thought of Luo Fei's various disobediences over the years, touching his emotions and making his mind surge. This was originally a good opportunity to thoroughly win over Jiang Jing, but He Wen Zheng suddenly appeared halfway, completely disrupting it.

  Don't underestimate this person, I'm afraid...

  "Mr. Li," He Wen Zheng suddenly lifted his head, the white scar on the left half of his face moving with his speech like an ugly worm on his face, "the brothers at the seaside warehouse have all checked, no."

  Li Yi Heng nodded and stopped his wild thoughts. For now, since Li Jin's whereabouts were unknown, finding him was the top priority; everything else could wait.

  "Trouble you to ask the brothers to continue searching, in another forty minutes, if they still can't find...” Li Yi Heng glanced at the watch's pointer, his suddenly low and hoarse voice carried a ruthless tone, “then there's no need to be polite with the He family, just force them to hand over the person!"
