Liao Qian called Lei Ting. This Haiyang is really not simple. An Ning listened to all this in Lei Ting's arms.
Thunder: "Did you find out? Who is Haiyang?"
Liao Qian: "It's true that this kid is An Ning's childhood sweetheart, but he was imprisoned in Guangdong when he was twenty years old. The records show that he was involved in pyramid schemes. After he got out, he went to Laos to gamble. This time he came to Niujin City by illegal boat. He still has millions of gambling debts and other debts. He has offended a lot of people in the black market. It's definitely not as simple as him wanting money from An Ning."
Thunder: "I knew it couldn't be that simple. He definitely wouldn't stop with a few million."
Liao Qian: "What do you plan to do?"
Thunder: "Let's wait and see. Send a few skilled fighters to follow me."
Liao Qian: "That's exactly what I was thinking. It just so happens that the leader of the gray path here is my follower. It would be good to have Alice mention him."
Thunder: "Alice, a girl!"
Liao Qian: "It's a man, stage name Alice. You won't see him easily. If you encounter any gangsters, mention his name."
Thunder: "Understood."
Liao Qian: "I told you that An Ning is too kind-hearted, you have to protect her."
Lei Ting: "Understood. My husband and I can move mountains together."
Liao Qian: "If you subdue this kid, tell me his whereabouts. Quite a few shady characters are looking for him. I can sell the information and make a fortune..."
Thunder: "Money-grubber, alright, I know, you just take good care of yourself!"
Lei Ting hung up the phone with Liao Qian, and Guo Fan called immediately afterward.
Guo Fan: "President Lei, I found out about Haiyang. They sent him to Niujin to seduce President An."
Lei Ting: "Okay, keep the evidence safe. Liao Qian told me his background. Keep an eye on those two families' movements."
Guo Fan: "There's been no movement. They couldn't even afford to sponsor Haiyang's plane ticket to Niujin."
Thunder: "That's precisely why I'm worried they'll do something desperate. Don't stop sending the living expenses; send every penny."
Guo Fan: "Okay."
Lei Ting and An Ning went downstairs. Lei Ting tested his legs—they were so cool! As he went out, he nodded to the bodyguards, hoping they would be careful. The bodyguards followed closely, preventing Hai Yang from getting close to An Ning. The group wandered aimlessly down the main street. Hai Yang looked back; the bodyguards were following him closely. He was sweating more and more, and whenever someone looked at him, he would turn his face away.
Anning: "There's a drink stall up ahead, Haiyang, let's go get some drinks!"
Haiyang: "Anning, could we please reduce the number of bodyguards? I'm a little shy around strangers."
An Ning: "I'll just remove my bodyguards."
An Ning waved his hand, and the bodyguards stopped moving. Hai Yang was a little happy. He thought that An Ning was easy to deal with because he didn't have any bodyguards. Little did he know that Lei Ting's secret bodyguards were particularly dedicated and, like Lei Ting, were watching him closely from behind.
At the beverage stand, Haiyang tried to speak several times, but was interrupted by Leiting. Finally, Haiyang angrily tried to throw the beverage at Leiting, but Leiting skillfully dodged it.
Haiyang: "Can you get out of here? I need to talk to Anning for a bit."
Thunder: "No way."
An Ning: "Haiyang, just say what you have to say. Leiting isn't an outsider."
Haiyang's eyes lit up with an idea. Since there were no bodyguards left, dealing with Leiting would be too easy. Haiyang suddenly said he was going to print something and asked Anning to wait. When Haiyang came out, he was very excited and talked to Anning.
Ocean: "Anning, let's go for a walk ahead. I have some friends who want to see you. They're not far away!"
Anning: "You have friends here?"
Ocean: "Yes, let's go, Thunder too."
There was a row of unfinished buildings ahead, where homeless people had been staying for a long time. Lei Ting wondered what tricks this kid was up to. He walked over to An Ning, took her hand, and followed Hai Yang.
As expected, Haiyang led them to an unfinished building according to the phone map. The walls of the unfinished building were covered with graffiti and various stains. The place was messy and all sorts of people were lying on the ground. When they saw people coming in, some left and some stood up. Haiyang wanted to lead them forward, but Leiting kicked an aluminum can.
Thunder: "Where are you going? Looking for friends in the trash heap?"
Haiyang suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at Leiting and Anning. He thought that as long as he got rid of Leiting, Anning would be his. Anning was also frightened by Haiyang's gaze. Haiyang was staring at her as if he were staring at a pile of money!
Ocean: "Thunder, I'm giving you one last chance. Give me peace, get out, and I'll spare your life."
Anning: "Haiyang, what are you doing?"
Thunder: "So you've finally shown your true colors, haven't you! You came to Niujin to pursue Anning, do you even deserve to carry her shoes?!"
Ocean: "Whether I'm worthy or not is none of your business. Come out here."
At Haiyang's command, a group of thugs emerged from the abandoned building, armed with knives, clubs, and even guns, pointing them at Anning and Leiting. Leiting immediately shielded Anning behind him. Haiyang looked at Leiting smugly; having lured them here was enough. Leiting was more than capable of dealing with them. However, these thugs were armed with guns, and Leiting was afraid of hurting Anning, so he dared not act rashly. Suddenly remembering Liao Qian's words, Leiting shouted.
Thunder: "I'm under Alice's protection. Alice is my boss."
Upon hearing Alice's name, the group of thugs with guns quickly fled. Haiyang, seeing only a few armed men running away, cursed angrily. However, he wasn't afraid of the many thugs behind him; he didn't believe Leiting could defeat them. Leiting, relieved that the armed men were gone, thought the rest would be easier to deal with. Leiting's bodyguards entered, and he ordered them to form a circle to protect Anning, ignoring him and focusing solely on protecting Anning. Leiting glared at Haiyang, thinking, "A grown man coming all this way to scam people? Shameless!"
