Chapter Forty-six

  Li Yiheng smiled faintly.

  "The night you took Fei to 'the box', I was outside." he replied.

  Li Jin's hand trembled slightly, and the documents in his palm almost slipped out of his grasp.

  "The Box" was that night, the seaside warehouse where Luo Fei went to sing with his decadent and hopeless band, nicknamed "The Box" by the city's rock circle.

  Li Jin recalled the black sports car speeding by under the morning sun.

  It turned out to be Mr. Li, who had been quietly listening in the car all night.

  Why was he there? What else did he think of?

  Li Jin's calf began to tremble uncontrollably.

  It was five years ago that I bought the warehouse, although everything in the warehouse remained unchanged, even the place where the key was hidden followed the old rules, but how could a newcomer who had only been in the business for a year and a half explain everything that happened that night?

  If he told Li Yi Heng himself, it was because a senior had told him where the key was hidden, but he didn't know if Li Yi Heng would believe him.

  But it was clear that Li Yiheng knew he wasn't telling the truth and didn't care about Lí Jǐn's truth either.

  "I know what you want to do." Li Yiheng leaned against the desk, his long legs casually propped up on the ground, seemingly relaxed yet exuding an inexplicable sense of pressure. "You want to make Rong Fei famous and then bring down Shu Mula."

  "Alright." After a long silence, Li Jin suddenly stood up, "Are you willing to help me?"

  Li Yiheng did not comment on this.

  But Li Jin just smiled carelessly: "I asked too much, you'll give me this file today, that explains everything, doesn't it?"

  Li Jin's eyes were extremely beautiful, as if they always contained a pool of dark water, making people sink in. Li Yi Heng had seen him many times since he got to know him, and every time he felt that such a wonderful pair of eyes was like a beautiful jade covered with dust, really wasting its beauty. However, at this moment, Li Jin's eyes were intertwined with pride and determination, as well as many sharp expressions that had never appeared before, which made him feel a few points of familiarity.

  Li Yiheng dodged the question and instead asked, "Why don't you ask me why I love Ke Yuan so much but didn't take revenge for him myself?"

  Mr. Li, who is as wealthy as a nation, wants to take in little Shu Mu, but it's just a matter of minutes.

  "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't." Lí Jǐn said, "Shū Mù knows you love Kuài Yuǎn, right?"

  "I'm not sure if Shu Mu knows or not, but I guess so," said Li Yi Heng.

  There is no wall that doesn't let wind through. Ten years are enough for Li Yiheng and Ke Yuan's affair to spread rumors.

  Shu Mu had always been sharp-eared and keen-eyed, nothing that happened around him could escape his notice.

  Lost himself and still thought he was very good at hiding it - Lei Jin looked back on his past and felt utterly ashamed.

  "Shu Mu knew he killed Ke Yuan, and you would be the first to seek revenge. He couldn't fight you, so he could only bring in a powerful backer who could match you. The old aristocratic family, He Shi, has been cultivating the entertainment industry for three generations, and their connections and foundation are not comparable to those of Li Shi, who is new to the industry. Even if Mr. Li really wanted to take action against him, he would have to weigh his options carefully, and during this time, Shu Mu could follow procedure and find a way out for himself.

  Li Jin suddenly understood why Li Yi Heng showed him that document: "Shu Mu's current public relationship with He Yue Xuan is partly because he wants you to hesitate. He Shi loves him deeply, and as long as he still loves him one day, he will protect him for one day. As long as He Shi protects him, the entire He family will be protecting him. Mr. Li, sometimes money isn't everything; you've discovered that the current Shu Mu is someone you can't touch no matter how much money you spend."

  So you don't want to wait any longer, and you want to choose the best candidate to help yourself get rid of him.

  And I am the most suitable candidate myself.

  Li Jin, as Li Yi's special assistant, handled his daily affairs and therefore had a general understanding of the Li family's situation. Although the Li family was powerful, their roots in the entertainment industry were not deep. Despite their current prosperity, it was only because the big shots in the circle did not want to offend the famous Mr. Li without reason. But if you ask who can really call the wind and rain, it would be the He family.

  The He family has been in the entertainment industry for three generations, with a network of connections and experience that the Li family can't match. Although they declined in recent years, giving the Li family an opportunity to catch up, since He Yuxuan took over, the He family has been on the rise again, gradually recovering lost ground. Nowadays, saying that the Li family is dominant in the industry is actually an exaggeration; in reality, Li Yihe and He Yuxuan are evenly matched, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, making it hard to say who's better.

  Li's fight against He would ultimately end in a lose-lose situation. Li Yiheng suspected that even if they both lost, he still couldn't destroy Shu Mu, and Shu Mu was full of tricks, perhaps having already dug another hole waiting for him.

  Mr. Li has always been cautious and will not do things he is not sure about.

  In other words, he thinks he can replace Shu Mu with Luo Fei and make it work?

  Suddenly understanding, Li Jin couldn't help but smile: "You'll help me, won't you?"

  Mr. Li nodded his noble head: "Right."

  Li Jing's eyes flashed, half-jokingly and half-seriously: "For free?"

  "Of course it's paid." Li Yi Heng's eyelashes slightly drooped, his gaze like an X-ray, quickly and ambiguously sweeping over him.

  Li Jin felt as if he had been stripped bare.

  He quietly took two steps back, avoiding someone's ambiguous gaze, and asked: "Then why don't you ask me, why I want to avenge Ke Yuan?"

  "You're willing to say it, and I'm naturally willing to listen." Li Yiheng raised an eyebrow with a smile.

  "Sorry, I'd rather not say." Li Jin picked up the documents on the sofa. "Mr. Li, I'll take these away first. I'm sure you have a backup there, so I won't be polite about it."

  As he spoke, he lifted his foot and walked to the door.

  Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and nodded at Li Yiheng.

  "Right, thanks for this period of time."
