When Yang Li walked into the coffee shop in the West Street Mall, she found that all the shop assistants were gathered together, whispering in one direction. Yang Li followed their line of sight and looked to a corner of the booth, where she saw a man in black clothes sitting.
Apart from that, there was no one in the store.
Originally, Yang Li had never seen Li Quan before. She was just trying to find out what was going on, so she went up to him and asked about the situation. But when Yang Li saw the man in front of her for the first time, she felt an inexplicable aversion to this smart-looking, tall and thin man.
This made her certain that the other party must be the manager who committed the crime mentioned by Yao Lanlan - Li Quan.
After seeing Yang Li, the other party picked up the photo in his hand and compared it, and asked in a frivolous manner: "You are reporter Yang Li, right? You really look like the photo, a great beauty!"
This frivolous attitude made Yang Li feel even more uncomfortable. She asked with a cold face: "What on earth do you want to see me about?"
Li Quan then pulled out the report on his phone and said to Yang Li, "You wrote this report, right? I advise you to delete it to avoid getting yourself into trouble."
Yang Li said, "When I joined the journalistic profession, I knew my future life was destined to be bumpy, and I was mentally prepared when I wrote this article."
"Oh? Then what if I offer you 100,000 to delete this report?"
"I've already said that I didn't write this report for money. No matter how much money you offer, I won't delete it."
Li Quan simply didn't believe anyone wouldn't be tempted by money, so he continued to increase the offer, tempting Yang Li: "200,000? How about 300,000? Just move your finger and delete that report, and you can easily get a large sum of money." Seeing that Yang Li didn't even look at him, Li Quan became a little anxious and began to warn: "Tell me, name a price, within my affordability, but don't be too greedy, otherwise you will easily choke to death!"
Seeing that Li Quan didn't understand what she meant at all and kept talking about the price, Yang Li lost her patience and stood up to leave: "I already said it's not about the money. If you want to continue, it seems there is no need for us to talk anymore."
Seeing that Yang Li seemed to be really about to leave, Li Quan changed his mind and asked, "Then what do you want?"
Yang Li stared at Li Quan and asked in a resounding voice, "I want fairness and justice! Can you give it to me?!"
"Hahaha, fairness and justice..."
Li Quan laughed loudly towards the sky, his laughter was so unbridled that Yang Li almost stopped laughing because she was irritated by his behavior.
"Little sister, it's good to have ideas, but being too naive can easily get you into trouble. I advise you to do as I say. There are some things you can't get involved in, otherwise... humph!"
"Are you threatening me? But I won't buy it!" The first time she saw Yao Lanlan, Yang Li knew that this was a big trouble, but her professional ethics as a reporter told her that she could not sit idly by and watch someone in a miserable situation.
She saved the person from the brink of life and death, and Yang Li didn't want the person she had saved with great difficulty to fall into the arms of death again.
Thinking of Yao Lanlan's current miserable state at home, Yang Li's heart began to boil with anger. "I originally thought you asked me to come here today because you still felt a little guilty. Now it seems that I was wrong. I will not delete that report no matter what. Don't have any more wishful thinking!"
The meeting between the two ultimately ended in failure.
Shortly after Yang Li left, two tall men rushed in from the door. Those two men were the thugs from the bar.
It turned out that Yang Li proposed a condition that Li Quan come alone, but Li Quan was cautious. Although he appeared to be going to the appointment alone, he actually sent someone to follow him.
Seeing Yang Li leave, the thug asked in confusion: "Boss, why didn't you catch her and let her go?"
"Capturing her would be bad news. After all, I still need to catch another big fish through her... I suspect Yao Lanlan must have some private contact with her. You two, follow her quietly. When you see Yao Lanlan, immediately capture her for me!"
Originally, Li Quan was not sure where Yao Lanlan was now, but seeing that Yang Li remained unmoved by his attempts to bribe her, Li Quan was certain that Yao Lanlan must have secretly bewitched her. As long as the two of them met again, he would be able to catch Yao Lanlan.
Thinking of this, Li Quan touched his right forearm, which still ached slightly. When he thought of how Yao Lanlan, that woman, had the audacity to stab him and make him look so foolish, the hatred in Li Quan's heart surged up again.
Yao Lanlan, this time I will make you wish you were dead, but unable to live!
After arranging everything, Li Quan casually made a phone call: "Hello, is this the editor-in-chief of M Company? I need to discuss a business deal with you."
......
After returning to the company, Yang Li devoted herself to her work. She planned to collect more information and expose Yao Lanlan's case again. It would be even better if she could do an exclusive interview at that time.
Time passed quickly. When she looked up from her work, she found that almost everyone in the company had left. It turned out that it had been an hour since get off work ended.
Yang Li saved the information, stretched, and drove to leave.
While driving, when Yang Li passed by a large supermarket, she suddenly remembered that she had no dumplings at home. Yao Lanlan was from the north and she seemed to like dumplings very much. Yang Li planned to go to the supermarket to buy some.
When Yang Li suddenly turned the corner and drove diagonally along the road next to her, she noticed that a car behind her also suddenly turned the corner and drove over following her car. Out of professional sensitivity, Yang Li remained a little alert.
After Yang Li got off the car and went to the supermarket to buy some things naturally, she was sure that she was being followed and might be alone for the time being.
Yang Li returned to the car, put the food aside, and looked at the rearview mirror. She could only see a black van behind her and had no idea what was going on inside the car.
In order not to attract the other party's attention, Yang Li had to start the car and drive slowly.
While driving, Yang Li was thinking about how to get out of the situation.
Yao Lanlan is now at her own home. If the people behind her are coming for her, she must not go home at this time.
But now she couldn't keep driving in circles, otherwise the other party might know her intentions.
Just when Yang Li was in trouble, an unfamiliar text message popped up.
"Go straight home, don't stop."
