Chapter 960 I'll wait with you

Li Cheng looked at Li Nianqi with disgust and said, "Lock the young lady in the room and don't let her come out without my order."

"dad!"

"Take her away quickly."

He still has a lot of things to arrange.

Li Nianqi was dragged away and locked up. Li Cheng hurried into the study and burned all the important documents. He couldn't leave any evidence behind.

"Someone, hurry up and report your route. I'm leaving the capital tonight..."

"Go and pack up all the valuables in the house."

"We'll leave in half an hour."

Li Cheng gave all his instructions and packed up his documents, preparing to leave the imperial capital, a place of trouble. He also completely abandoned his ally, Pei Zheng. His wife and children remained abroad, which was a kind of comfort.

Only the idiot Li Nianqi followed him back to China, but he couldn't let her reveal too much of the inside story, so he still had to take her away later.

"Hurry! Hurry up!"

Li Cheng's heart was beating very fast, like a drum.

He had to seize every minute and every second, fearing that someone would break in and take him away the next moment.

Buzz buzz buzz!

His cell phone suddenly vibrated, startling him.

Li Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and answered the phone: "Mr. Zhao?"

"Boss Li, have your people set off?"

"We've already set off. We're also on the ring road." Li Cheng lied calmly. He had to buy himself some time. The longer Pei Zheng could hold out, the safer he would be.

Once the plane reached the other side of the ocean, he was completely safe.

After leaving the country, the domestic disputes had nothing to do with him. Those people could not cross the border to capture him. Li Cheng thought about his assets abroad, and he would live a comfortable life in the second half of his life.

You can't just lose your life in the imperial capital.

Zhao Qin didn't doubt Li Cheng's words and said urgently, "I just got the news that Huo Xingzhou has called the police. But the uniforms aren't moving fast enough. We have to speed up and get there first to solve everything. Let Huo Xingzhou's plan fail. How many people did you bring with you, Mr. Li?"

"Number one hundred and eighty."

"That should be enough. I'll call in more people just in case. I heard that the bodyguards around Huo Xingzhou are experts who can fight ten people at once. We can't let our guard down."

"Okay, I understand."

Li Cheng coaxed Zhao Qin, "Mr. Zhao, hurry up and don't waste time. Don't call me if there's nothing else. Find a way to contact Pei Zheng. Ask him to destroy the goods as soon as possible. As long as that fire starts, everything will be fine."

"I know, thank you Mr. Li for reminding me."

"You're welcome."

Li Cheng hung up the phone. This reminder was also for his own sake.

If the evidence was gone, no matter how hard the other party tried, it wouldn't be linked to him. He could live a more carefree life abroad, and he could still return to the capital when the storm died down.

I hope Pei Zheng can be of some use, even if it is useless, it can at least buy him some time.

"Sir, the route has been reported. The private plane is right outside and can take off at any time."

"Go! Quick!"

Li Cheng couldn't waste a moment.

He quickly took the important things, his confidants, and the noisy Li Nianqi and boarded the private plane.

When a private plane flew overhead.

The Huo family villa is not far away.

Zhong Yi sat on the terrace, his eyes blank. But he also heard a familiar voice: "Did the Li family escape?"

How could the Huo family hide such a big move from him?

Besides, Huo Xingzhou had no intention of hiding it from him. Instead, he had Zhong Yi stay home and sent people to guard the base camp. It's better to be safe than sorry. If the Pei family had a backup plan to deal with Qiao Xi, they would have room to maneuver.

Qiao Xi stood beside him, looking at the increasingly small plane in the night sky and said, "It should be."

She couldn't sleep tonight either.

Huo Xingzhou went to do great things.

Not knowing what danger might come, she felt uneasy lying in the room, so she and Zhong Yi stood on the rooftop terrace to enjoy the scenery and see what was happening at the Li family.

The Li family ran away, and Qiao Xi felt relieved.

At least the Pei family would be weakened by losing an ally, and Huo Xingzhou's safety would be further guaranteed.

Qiao Xi asked softly, "Are we just going to let the Li family escape like this? They're aiding and abetting the evil, and they might do something like this again in the future."

"Don't worry, you can't escape."

How could Zhong Yi not be able to do such a thing? "I have sent people to stop him. Let Li Cheng be proud for a while, he can't leave the country."

"You guys are always so thorough."

"I can't hold you back."

Zhong Yi asked, "Is there a moon tonight?"

He couldn't see the night, nor the stars or the moon. Qiao Xi sat on the rattan chair beside him and said slowly, "Yes."

"What day is it?"

"It's the sixteenth, and the moon is especially round and bright. It illuminates the ground so brightly that even without street lights, you can still see the way home clearly." Qiao Xi said softly.

“I’ve lost track of time.”

"I sometimes forget, but I remember by looking at the moon." They look at the Gregorian calendar every day, so how could they remember the waxing and waning of the moon every day?

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "The night wind is cold. I'll take you back to your room to rest. You're not feeling well and need more rest."

"Huo Xingzhou didn't come back tonight, can you sleep?"

Of course I can’t sleep.

Qiao Xi frowned.

"I want to wait until he comes back before I go to sleep."

"You're still pregnant, how can you be any better off than me? Huo Xingzhou might be busy until very late, so I'll wait with you. We can chat together, it's always hard to waste time here alone."

Zhongyi has experienced the pain of waiting.

He knew that every minute and every second passed slowly.

"All right."

Qiao Xi supported her chin with both hands. "Do you think it will succeed tonight? If he hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to go too."

"Huo Xingzhou is a master of planning. Pei Zheng and Li Cheng thought they could get away with it, but they still couldn't fool him. If you follow him, it will only distract Huo Xingzhou. It's better for you to stay home. I know you must be panicking, so... I'll wait with you."

Zhong Yi's words made Qiao Xi feel much more comfortable.

Her whole body was tense, but gradually relaxed.

…

The night deepens.

The usually desolate and deserted dock was unusually bustling with activity as truckloads of long-staple cotton were delivered to the dock. The workers handling the cotton were ordered to be silent.

They didn't dare to talk at all, but just quietly moved the goods to the ship designated by the employer. This was obviously abnormal, but because the wages were extremely high, no one cared.

"Move quickly!"

Pei Zheng, still unaware of the change, urged his men to act quickly. The faster they went, the less risk they faced.

Huo Xingzhou went to Shisanwan Wharf tonight, so he probably has no time to take care of this place.

Sudden.

Car lights flickered in the distance.

Pei Zheng couldn't help but squint his eyes. Who else would pass by here?
