Chapter 117 Deception



Li Ke had stopped retreating and took a few steps forward, ready to attack and defend, waiting for Xiao Yi to make another move. She was very excited. Although she had taken a lot of hits, she had finally managed to hit Xiao Yi and successfully retaliated.

Looking at Li Ke across from him, who was covered in sweat, with bruises on his lips, and ready to fight again at any moment, Xiao Yi was very satisfied with the tenacity of this new team member.

"Today's training ends here. This afternoon, the newly arrived disaster victims will be settled in the city. Our law enforcement team will go there to help maintain order. We'll also take over the Qin family's security team and incorporate them into the law enforcement team and the security team." Xiao Yi straightened up and said to Li Ke.

Upon hearing this, Li Ke withdrew his offensive. The groups entering the city today were all civilians. The Qin family, the Chen family, and others who had the means had already entered the shelter last night.

Currently, Li Ke has only obtained information about a few family heads. As for their entourage, Li Ke did not see anyone with the surname Zhuang or Tian. Could it be that they will not come in this life? Or have they carefully concealed their identities this time?

Hearing Xiao Yi's words, the other people training nearby also stopped what they were doing. Most of the people training in this training ground were Xiao Yi's confidants or people he had recruited.

Li Ke has been training at this training ground for the past few days, practicing for two hours every day. In actual combat sparring, he has not only regained his previous skills, but also become more agile.

Many team members who were initially skeptical of Li Ke have changed their minds about her during these past few days of practice, and have come to appreciate her as a new member.

Upon hearing that training was over, the other two female team members, Xia Qing and Meng Yu, walked over to Li Ke and pulled her to the locker room.

"Let's go change our clothes and then head to the cafeteria together. I've been training for two hours, and I'm starving," Xia Qing said casually.

Li Ke didn't really want to go to the cafeteria; she wanted to go home and eat alone. However, the two older women were very enthusiastic and always showed great friendliness and welcome to the new team member, Li Ke. Unable to refuse their hospitality, Li Ke went to the cafeteria with them.

The night before, Li Meng watched as her mother, at Wang Zhuo's suggestion, took the child and moved away to another place, which made her feel disgusted and upset.

A meter-high cardboard box surrounded their small living area. Wang Zhuo wanted to sit down next to Li Meng, but Li Meng resisted and moved to the side.

Wang Zhuo immediately changed his kind face and leaned closer, saying with a dark expression, "What do you mean? I work hard from morning till night, and you still look down on me like this? Don't you have any conscience?"

Li Meng tried her best to hide her emotions and said calmly, "I'm just not feeling well and don't want to be too close to people. Just tell me what's wrong. Our current place isn't suitable, and I'm not feeling well either. I hope you can behave yourself."

Wang Zhuo glared at Li Meng, then moved closer and whispered, "I don't think you're a woman at all. There are so many couples in the hall, and they all live their lives just fine. You're the only one making a fuss! If you're so capable, then don't eat the food I earn or take up the space I rent!"

Upon hearing this, Li Meng turned her head sharply and replied very quickly, "Okay, then let's get a divorce and live our own lives. My mother and I will take care of the child, and you'll have an easier time. It will save you from constantly bringing up your achievements, which disgusts me!"

Wang Zhuo grinned smugly. "You wish! Mom will never agree. Your health is failing, and the child's health is poor too. You can't live without me. Let me tell you, I'm all alone, I'm not afraid of anything. You think you can get rid of me?"

The two were very close, speaking in hushed tones. Li Meng was so upset by him that she didn't want to talk.

Wang Zhuo is such a fickle and treacherous person, but he only revealed this side of himself to Li Meng. As for others, they always saw his honest face, which was always smiling and taciturn.

Li Meng had been driven to madness and beaten him many times by his shady behavior, but in the eyes of her mother and outsiders, it was Li Meng who was going crazy and bullying an honest man. Wang Zhuo was a kind-hearted man who was beaten by Li Meng to the point that he didn't even dare to dodge.

Li Meng tried to explain, but no one believed her. She also wanted a divorce, but her mother cried, hit her, and begged her to kneel down, forcing her to give it back.

Wang Zhuo always acted like a normal person in public, but he was unpredictable with Li Meng, sometimes treating her extremely well and other times belittling her to the extreme.

Li Meng discovered this problem a month after their marriage and tried to divorce him multiple times. This despicable man kept playing with Li Meng, sometimes agreeing and sometimes going back on his word, but in reality, he would never let go.

Seeing that Li Meng was angry, Wang Zhuo pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Look at you, you have a bad temper. Your illness is actually self-inflicted. You think too much and that's why you're like this."

Mom told me that you and Aunt Ke have had a good relationship since you were little. Why don't you ask Aunt Ke to arrange a better place for us?

Even if you're very concerned about saving face, you should at least think about our child and our mother, right? She's so old, and she still has to take care of the child and you at night, and she has to be careful about this and that. I've never seen her get a good night's sleep.

Li Meng was trembling with anger. This scoundrel was always intentionally or unintentionally erasing her existence and contributions. Her mother was helping to take care of the child and her, but she was not a useless person either. She was also taking care of the child and looking after her mother.

If it weren't for her poor health, she would have gone out to find work long ago. Li Meng really wanted to slap Wang Zhuo, but she restrained herself and replied, "You go if you want, I have no face to go. Li Ke doesn't owe us anything, you should have some shame!"

Wang Zhuo snorted: "Since you're so tough, not even caring about the life or death of your child, then we should prepare to resume our married life. I, a grown man, may not care, but you, as his wife, shouldn't try to shirk your responsibility!"
