Chapter 40: Protect Yin Luoxue

Yin Luoxue held the armrest of the wheelchair tightly to keep calm, but it could not hide her panic at all.

Pei Jianchuan controlled the phone and said, "This is an audio signal. Please listen carefully and make sure it is Yin Luoxue's voice."

As soon as the words fell, a deep and cold voice sounded, "That's enough."

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Tingshen, who had been silent the whole time.

Li Tingshen stood up and said, "Boss Pei, can I have a word with you?"

Pei Jianchuan curled his lips, put away his phone, and followed him to the study on the third floor.

The door was closed. Li Tingshen walked to the French window, lit a cigarette and took a puff. He said straight to the point, "Name a price."

Pei Jianchuan sat down on the chair in front of the desk, "Mr. Li, do you think my son's life is valuable?"

"Mr. Pei's life is of course priceless, but he is safe now, and it was my wife who saved him."

Pei Jianchuan laughed, "Didn't Mr. Li emphasize that Xiaobao was rescued by Mr. Lu Lang? It was not enough to say it in public, and he even asked Mrs. Ji to emphasize it to the guests present on the day of the incident one by one, just to erase Gu Mian's credit. How come it has become that she rescued Xiaobao now?"

Li Tingshen said calmly, "You and I know exactly how Xiaobao was rescued, but Gu Mian is my wife. Mrs. Li does not need to have such an outstanding ability."

"Have you asked Gu Mian?" Pei Jianchuan questioned, "Have you asked her if she is willing to live in the cage you gave her as a canary? If she is told that being your powerful wife means that all her light must be covered, then I believe she will refuse. She will not and should not live like this."

"What kind of life my wife leads is not something that Mr. Pei should worry about." Li Tingshen walked behind the desk with his long legs wide open and sat opposite him. "You are a businessman, you should be very clear about the current situation. It is better to get a suitable price than to confront me head-on."

"Boss Li means that Yin Luoxue must be saved?" Pei Jianchuan smiled faintly, "I am very curious, how can such a fool who has a heart for evil but no brains be worthy of Boss Li's efforts to protect her?"

Li Ting took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "This is my private matter. You don't need to ask about it."

"Okay." Pei Jianchuan leaned back in his chair and said casually, "I want to take a nap."

"What did you say?" Li Ting frowned, his deep and sharp eyes carrying a piercing chill, "Say it again."

"Why not?" Pei Jianchuan spread his hands innocently, "Gu Mian is your wife whom you don't care about at all. In your heart, she is incomparable to Yin Luoxue. It's a good deal for Li Zong to exchange Gu Mian for Yin Luoxue."

"But it's different for me. In my heart, ten Yin Luoxue are not as good as one finger of Gu Mian. I will cherish and love her for the rest of my life."

With every extra word he said, Li Tingshen's face became colder.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Tingshen suddenly opened the drawer at hand, pulled out a gun from it, and pointed it at the man in front of him.

"Bang!"

A gunshot was heard downstairs.

Everyone was shocked.

"What's going on!" Madam Li asked anxiously, "Is there anything wrong?"

"Grandma, don't worry, it's impossible that my brother was in trouble." Li Xingze comforted her, "It must be my brother who fired the gun to protect Luoxue."

The old lady's face turned cold in an instant, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Mian.

Gu Mian just smiled faintly and shook his head gently at the old lady.

Her heart naturally hurt when she saw her husband protecting another woman like this.

But she thought, this will all be over soon.

Once she leaves Li Tingshen, the pain should go away, right?

Li Xingze wanted to mock Gu Mian. Under normal circumstances, he would have done so a long time ago, but now he just couldn't open his mouth.

Although the audio clip has not been released, anyone with eyes and brains can see clearly what the facts are.

He never thought that Yin Luoxue would kill a five-year-old child.

He suddenly couldn't figure out what kind of person this frail girl sitting in the wheelchair was.

In the study on the third floor.

Li Ting held the gun high in his hand, with a murderous aura lingering around him.

"You are the first one who dares to covet my wife. If you are not afraid of not being able to leave this door, just say it again."

Pei Jianchuan thought of the bullet that had just passed by his ear.

He could conclude that Li Tingshen had definitely missed the target intentionally, and it was also his final warning.

He even pulled out a gun. Was it really because of possessiveness?

If you really don't care, would you draw your gun?

"It seems that even if Boss Li doesn't like it, he won't allow others to take it away." Pei Jianchuan smiled and shook his head, "Okay, then, I want Yin Luoxue."

Li Tingshen narrowed his eyes slightly, "You want Yin Luoxue?"

"That's right, let her marry me and become Mrs. Pei. She looks glamorous on the surface, but actually suffers a lot." Pei Jianchuan imagined that scene, "Isn't it interesting to imprison a murderer who attempted murder by your side and torture him slowly?"

Li Tingshen put down the gun in his hand, took out a cigarette and lit it, "She won't agree. Given the friendship between the Yin family and the Li family, I won't push her out to die."

Pei Jianchuan raised his eyebrows, "You are reluctant to let go of Gu Mian, and you are also unwilling to let go of Yin Luoxue. President Li, you can't have it all."

Li Ting stared at him deeply, "What if I really want both?"

Pei Jinchuan spread his hands, "Then I can only settle for the next best thing. I want the Yin Group."

Li Ting curled his lips deeply, "Boss Pei has a big appetite, aren't you afraid of being overwhelmed?"

Pei Jianchuan disagreed. "The peak period of Yin's Group was more than ten years ago. Since Yin Luoxue's father passed away, she and her daughter handed over the management of the group to professional managers. In addition, both mother and daughter love to spend money, and the foundation has been gradually hollowed out. If it weren't for President Li's secret intervention and making major decisions for Yin's Group over the years, I'm afraid it would have gone bankrupt long ago, and it would not be able to maintain its current dignity. So what I want is reasonable."

"Of course, this is based on the premise that Xiaobao is safe and sound. If anything happens to him, the Yin family mother and daughter will be buried with my son."

Li Tingshen blew out a smoke ring, "Okay, I promise you, today's matter ends here. If one more person knows about this, it will be considered as a breach of contract by President Pei."

"I am a businessman, so I naturally have a spirit of contract."

......

Pei Jianchuan returned to the living room and said, "Madam Li, I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll take my leave now."

Gu Mian knew without asking that Li Tingshen must have reached some agreement with Pei Jianchuan in order to protect Yin Luoxue.

Gu Mian felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Those who are favored are indeed fearless. Yin Luoxue's behavior can be regarded as incitement to murder, but Li Tingshen still protects her without any bottom line.

Pei Jianchuan took Xiaobao's hand and looked at Gu Mian, "I will take Xiaobao back to Haicheng in the next two days."

Gu Mian nodded, "Well, Xiaobao is frightened, you should spend more time with him."

"I will."

"Mom, Xiaobao doesn't want to leave you." Xiaobao hugged Gu Mian's legs and was reluctant to let go.

"My dear little darling." Gu Mian squatted down and kissed his forehead. "We will definitely meet again soon. Just listen to your father, okay?"

"Oh well."

Gu Mian saw them out the door and watched them get in the car and leave.

Yin Luoxue's sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind.

"Gu Mian, you have seen how much Brother Ting Shen loves me. I advise you to hold on to Pei Jianchuan as a backup, so that you won't be kicked out in the future without a place to go..."
