Chapter 346: A little prank

Leng Xuan impatiently glared at Ah-Fei and said, "What can I do if you don’t believe me?"

Although Ah-Fei still had some doubts, he also retained a sliver of hope, so he dared not say anything more and directly led the way.

In the middle of the rapeseed field, there was a shed cluttered with a pile of furniture and a broken bed, a place for farmers to rest and store farm tools under normal circumstances.

At this moment, Zhou Li’s hands and feet were bound by Ah-Fei with rope, lying on the bed like a curled shrimp, a towel usually used by farmers to wipe sweat stuffed in her mouth, tears squeezing out like running water.

Suddenly, a series of footsteps approached, and the girl instinctively shrank her body, humming with fear across her face, thinking it was Ah-Fei returning—only to realize that the person entering was actually Leng Xuan.

Instantly, Zhou Li’s eyes reddened, expressing her grievance, and she made humming noises through her nose, her intentions unclear.

When Leng Xuan saw the girl, his heart ached. He approached, removed the towel from her mouth, and softly asked, "Are you alright?"

Zhou Li had not expected Leng Xuan to really come, and alone at that, which touched her deeply. She said, "Leng Xuan, how can you be so foolish? He has a gun."

Leng Xuan found it amusing and didn’t respond verbally, instead he simply untied the ropes binding Zhou Li.

As soon as Zhou Li was free, she scrambled off the bed and pulled Leng Xuan’s hand to run outside. However, as soon as they stepped out the door, they saw someone lying on the ground, unclear whether dead or unconscious—a closer look revealed it was none other than Ah-Fei.

"Ah?" Startled, Zhou Li turned her head, looking at Leng Xuan with surprise, totally baffled by the situation.

"I knocked him out," Leng Xuan shrugged, preemptively answering the questions lingering in Zhou Li’s mind.

Zhou Li looked at him incredulously, yet she was compelled to believe it, for the fact lay plain before her eyes. This sparked a new curiosity in her about Leng Xuan—just what kind of person was he?

Leng Xuan simply smiled and said nothing, then dragged Ah-Fei back into the shed.

Zhou Li followed him inside and asked, "Leng Xuan, what are you going to do?"

Leng Xuan smiled and replied, "I’m just going to return to him what he gave you, but doubled. However, could you step outside for a bit?"

Zhou Li shot Leng Xuan a puzzled glance, unsure of his intentions and why he wanted her out, yet she obediently responded with an "Oh" and stepped outside to wait. In a while, Leng Xuan came out and took out an old Nokia phone, dialing Ning Xin’er’s number.

Ning Xin’er’s team was interrogating a punk, one of Ah-Fei’s subordinates who had recently been arrested for fighting. Ning Xin’er was attempting to worm out Ah-Fei’s whereabouts from him, but after a long questioning, the punk remained clueless, which was truly frustrating. In the midst of her anger, her cell phone suddenly rang. Checking the caller ID, she saw it was Leng Xuan and pressed the answer button, speaking dismissively, "What’s up? Do you need something?"

Leng Xuan was seriously exasperated—here he was, ready to bring her a big gift, and yet she received him with this attitude? However, thinking about how Ning Xin’er would react upon seeing Ah-Fei, he couldn’t help but feel amused, therefore he didn’t take her rudeness to heart and replied, "Nothing much, I just saw Ah-Fei, so I thought I’d let you know. But since you seem impatient to talk, maybe I’ll just leave it at that! I’m hanging up now..."
