Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Robbing the Cheap Father-in-law!

"Dare to lay a hand on my man, you’re asking for death, see how I deal with you!"

With a flip of her hand, Wen brought out a dagger, ready to strike.

Although there were many things about Xu Qianli that pissed her off, he was her man after all. Someone actually wanted to kill him, that was just asking for trouble!

"No, I’ll talk, I’ll talk, isn’t that enough?"

Seeing Xu Qianli and Wen getting serious, Qing caved in instantly.

"Three days ago, a big boss came to me, offering ten million to take Xu Qianli’s life. I had no idea about his connection with you, Wen, so I agreed to the deal."

"If I had known, even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn’t have dared."

"Please, have mercy, just this once, I won’t ever dare to do it again..."

Qing kept begging desperately.

"Fuck off!"

"What I want to know is who hired a hit on me, not to listen to your bullshit!"

Xu Qianli kicked Qing in the back, knocking him to the ground, then took the dagger from Wen’s hand, and with one swift move, drove it through Qing’s left hand, pinning it to the ground!

"Ah..."

A piercing scream came from Qing’s mouth, the intense pain causing his whole body to convulse.

Xu Qianli stepped on Qing’s head, bending down and staring at him fiercely as he spoke in a deep tone.

"You had the hitman shoot at me twice, and now you can’t take one stab from me?"

"Stop the wailing and hurry up and talk, or I’ll give you a few more stabs!"

Xu Qianli spoke like a demon, showing no mercy to such scum.

"I’ll talk, I’ll tell you everything, Boss Xia Dongyang paid the ten million to take your life."

Qing didn’t dare to ramble or wail anymore. Enduring the severe pain, he revealed the name of his employer.

Xia Dongyang?

Hearing this name, Xu Qianli had absolutely no recollection of him. Not recognizing him at all, let alone having any issues with him, why would he want him dead?

Xu Qianli might not have known him, but Wen did, "Xia Dongyang is an invisible wealthy businessman in Zhongzhou City, with a fortune of six or seven billion, an absolute business tycoon."

Hearing this, Xu Qianli suddenly understood.

"It must be that he’s also involved in the cheap division of Qingshan Town’s forestry and fisheries resources."

"Li Zhu and Fan Wenbin brought over twenty businessmen from Zhongzhou City to divide up Qingshan Town’s pie, but their plan was ruined by me. Seems like Feng Jiang isn’t the only one who can’t sit still."

"Xia Dongyang, is it? Daring to hire a hit on me, Xu Qianli, I won’t let you off!"

Rage boiling inside, Xu Qianli couldn’t wait to immediately slaughter that bastard Xia Dongyang.

Wen was just as enraged, "Leave this to me, I’ll make him regret ever coming into this world!"

Xu Qianli said, "Don’t kill him, leave him breathing, hand him over to my buddy Wu Kai."

Wen planned to make her move on Xia Dongyang, and Xu Qianli didn’t stop her. That sort of trash deserved to be brutally tormented. Leaving him alive for Wu Kai was already letting him off easy.

Wen nodded, then led her people out. Before leaving, she retrieved her dagger, ruthlessly stabbing Qing a few more times, viciously letting some of his blood.

After Wen left, Xu Qianli made a call to Wu Kai to come and take over Qing.

Wu Kai was relieved to hear Xu Qianli had found out who the employer was, on top of being pleased.

But thinking back on the day’s events, he couldn’t help but be terrified.

"Buddy, you can’t keep going on like this. It’s not good."

"You’ve offended so many people now, whether directly or indirectly, and have touched upon many people’s interests."

"Let’s not even talk about the officialdom, just look at what’s been happening in Qingshan Town. You’ve taken a bite out of two or three dozen big bosses’ cakes. How could they possibly not hate you?"

"In such a short time, two people have already made attempts on your life."

"You’ve also been lucky to have dodged those."

"I think it’s necessary to hire a couple of bodyguards for you, to accompany you to Qingshan Town. Otherwise, I really can’t rest easy."

Wu Kai was exceedingly worried about Xu Qianli’s safety. With his current momentum, he had offended many people. What if he encountered danger again? It would be better to hire a couple of bodyguards.

Xu Qianli replied, "Looking at it, there’s indeed no shortage of people who want me dead. Hiring two bodyguards is fine, but right now, it seems there aren’t particularly suitable candidates."

"Here’s what we’ll do; I’ll first dispatch a few detectives from the criminal police team to take turns guarding the hospital here, temporarily ensuring your safety."

"Regarding the bodyguards, I’ll start looking for suitable ones right now. I’ll get it sorted as fast as possible," Wu Kai said, thumping his chest. He and Xu Qianli were friends who had been through life and death together. At this moment, Xu Qianli was his lucky star, so Xu Qianli’s problems were his problems.

All of a sudden, Xu Qianli’s mind lit up, and he clapped his hands together with a snap.

"Haha, got it."

"No need for you to worry about the bodyguards, Kai. I can handle it myself."

Wu Kai asked, "What, you’ve got connections to find some real pros?"

"Not just connections to find pros, the people I can find are absolutely top-notch. Just you wait and see."

No sooner had Xu Qianli said this than he immediately took out his cell phone and busily made a call.

Soon the call connected, and Ye Zhanhua’s displeased voice came through.

"You’re actually calling me? That’s rare."

"Let me ask you, have you come to your senses and decided to break up with my daughter?"

"As long as you agree, I can make sure you become Mayor of Zhongzhou City within fifteen years."

Xu Qianli replied, "Commander Ye, don’t be in a rush to persuade me to break up with Meixin. Even if you aren’t fond of me or even dislike me, it won’t change the relationship between Meixin and me. No matter what you say, I won’t break up with her."

"Then why are you calling me? Don’t tell me you’re trying to make me angry on purpose?"

"Kid, can you withstand the wrath of Ye Zhanhua?"

Xu Qianli said, "Who would look for trouble for themselves without reason? I’m calling you, Commander Ye, to ask for a favor. Here’s the thing..."

He explained his recent circumstances and ordeals in detail, especially the two assassination attempts he had faced.

Especially today, when he had nearly lost his life.

Hearing Xu Qianli’s situation, Ye Zhanhua’s voice came through the phone.

"What do you want me to do?"

Xu Qianli stated, "It’s nothing much, just a request for Commander Ye to arrange two people to come and protect me. After all, no matter what, I’m still Meixin’s boyfriend. Being Meixin’s dad, you wouldn’t stand by and watch her boyfriend get bullied, right? There, I’ve told you what I need. Whether you’re willing or not is up to you. I won’t bother you, Commander Ye. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Qianli noticed Wu Kai staring at him with wide eyes. "Why are you looking at me so dumbfounded, Kai?"

"Why? What do you mean ’why’?!"

Wu Kai suddenly grabbed Xu Qianli’s collar.

"You were just on the phone with your father-in-law, weren’t you? You addressed him as Commander Ye. Your girlfriend’s dad is a military commander?"

Xu Qianli replied, "What if I said yes?"

"Damn, you’ve been keeping secrets deep, man. Now you let your bro here find out. Do you still consider me a brother?"

In his excitement, Wu Kai swung a fist toward Xu Qianli, hitting him right on his injured shoulder.

Hiss...

Xu Qianli drew a sharp intake of breath. Damn it, who did I ever mess with?
