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 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, and Li Chenglian hurried into the study to burn all the important documents. He couldn't leave any handle.
"Someone, hurry up and report your route. I'm leaving the capital tonight..."
"Go pack up all the valuables in your house."
"We'll set out in half an hour."
Li Cheng gave instructions, packed up his documents and prepared to leave the imperial capital, a place of trouble. He also completely abandoned Pei Zheng, his ally. His wife and children stayed abroad, which was a kind of comfort.
Only the idiot Li Nianqi followed me back to China, but I can’t let her reveal too much of the inside story, so I still have to take her away later.
"Hurry! Hurry up!"
Li Chengxin's heart was beating very fast, like beating 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, which scared him.
Li Cheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and picked up the phone: "Mr. Zhao?"
"Boss Li, have your people set out yet?"
"We have already set out, and we are also on the highway around the city." Li Cheng lied calmly, he had to buy himself some time. The longer Pei Zheng held out, the safer he would be here.
By the time the plane reached the other side of the ocean, he was completely safe.
After going abroad, the domestic disputes had nothing to do with him. Those people could not cross the country to capture him back. 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 did not doubt Li Cheng's words, and said urgently: "I just got the news that Huo Xingzhou has called the police. But the speed of those uniforms is not that fast, we must 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 for more people just in case. I heard that the bodyguards around Huo Xingzhou are experts who can fight ten enemies at once. We can't let our guard down."
"Okay, I understand."
Li Chenghuo lied to Zhao Qin, "Mr. Zhao, hurry up and don't waste time. Don't call me unless necessary. Find a way to contact Pei Zheng. Let him destroy the goods as soon as possible. As long as the fire starts, everything will be fine."
"I know. Thank you Mr. Li for reminding me."
"You are welcome."
Li Cheng hung up the phone. This reminder was also for his own benefit.
If the evidence is gone, no matter how the other party troubles, it can't be linked to him. He can live more freely abroad, and he can still return to the capital when the storm is over.
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 outside and can take off at any time."
"Go! Quick!"
Li Cheng couldn't delay for a moment.
He quickly took the important things, his confidants and the noisy Li Nianqi and boarded the private plane.
When a private jet flies overhead.
Not far away is the Huo family villa.
Zhong Yi sat on the terrace, his eyes blank. But he also heard a familiar voice in his ears: "Did the Li family escape?"
How could the Huo family hide such a big move from him?
Moreover, Huo Xingzhou did not want to hide it from him, but asked Zhong Yi to stay at home and sent people to guard the base camp. It is better to be safe than sorry. If the Pei family has a backup plan to deal with Qiao Xi, they will have room for it.
Qiao Xi stood beside him, looking at the increasingly small plane in the night sky and said, "It should be."
She also had trouble sleeping tonight.
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 look at the scenery and see what was going on at the Li family.
The Li family ran away, and Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the Pei family would be weakened by losing an ally, and Huo Xingzhou's safety would be more guaranteed.
Qiao Xi asked softly, "Are we just going to let the Li family get away like this? They are helping the tyrants to commit atrocities, and they may do the same thing 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 already 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 it by looking at the moon." They look at the Gregorian calendar every day, so how can they remember the waxing and waning of the moon every day?
Qiao Xi took a deep breath and said, "It's cold at night. I'll take you back to your room to rest. You're not feeling well and need more rest."
"If Huo Xingzhou doesn't come back tonight, can you sleep?"
Naturally I couldn’t sleep.
Qiao Xi's brows wrinkled.
"I want to wait until he comes back before I go to sleep."
"You're still pregnant, how can you be any better than me? Huo Xingzhou might be busy until very late, so I'll wait with you. We can talk together, it's always very painful to waste time here alone."
I like to go through the pain of waiting.
He knew that every minute and every second passed slowly.
"All right."
Qiao Xi propped her chin with her hands, "Do you think it will be successful tonight? If he hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to go with him."
"Huo Xingzhou is good at plotting. Pei Zheng and Li Cheng thought they could conceal the truth, but they still failed to fool him. If you follow them, it will only distract Huo Xingzhou. It's better for you to stay at home. I know you must be very confused, so... I will wait with you."
Zhong Yi's words made Qiao Xi feel much more comfortable.
She was tense all over, then gradually relaxed.
…
Night fell.
The deserted wharf, which had always been desolate and remote, was unusually lively, with truckloads of long-staple cotton being transported to the wharf. The workers who were transporting the cotton were ordered not to make any noise.
They dared not talk at all, but just quietly moved the goods to the ship designated by the employer. This was obviously abnormal, but no one cared because the wages were extremely high.
"Move quickly!"
Pei Zheng hadn't realized that things had changed yet, and he urged his men to act quickly. The faster they moved, the less risk there was.
Huo Xingzhou went to the Thirteen Bay Pier tonight, so he probably doesn't have time to visit this place.
Sudden.
Headlights flicker in the distance.
Pei Zheng couldn't help but squint his eyes. Who else would pass by here?
