Chapter 57 - Knowledge and Insight

Hearing her say that, Li Xiang felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Alright, then I'll just say it directly. My friend is currently surrounded by a group of people and can't break out. I'll send her a copy now. This USB drive contains all the deals behind the scenes, as well as a list of corrupt people and their numbers."

She wanted to take it, but was stopped by Li Xiang's action, causing her to stagger a few steps back.

"But I have a condition. I'll give you this, but you have to guarantee my friend's safety."

The woman hummed softly.

"What qualifications do you think you have to negotiate with me?" After he finished speaking, he slowly walked to Li Xiang's side and looked down at him from above, his eyes filled with disdain.

"I don't have the right to negotiate with you. If you don't save me, I'll throw this USB drive away, so what? This isn't mine anyway, there's no point in taking it with you, right, little beauty."

Li Xiang stretched out his banana-like fingers, wanting to touch that woman's face.

The woman twisted her wrist into a rope, causing her to be unable to hold back her anger. He had to force his way out.

"Just speak, don't touch me."

Li Xiang thought, who wants to touch you? If it wasn't for you provoking me, I would have punched you in the face, okay? However, this woman had a lot of strength.

With such a petite figure, she could exert a strength that was even greater than a man's. Furthermore, without any training, it seemed that she couldn't be underestimated.

If this woman had really trained to this level, she would probably be able to fight on the battlefield on October 8th. Fortunately, this woman didn't have such perverted tendencies.

"I don't want to touch you. I'm just telling you this."

"Who are you trying to scare? It's not that I don't want to save Jiang Yi, but he's a piece of trash now. If I save him, wouldn't I be able to escape the water myself? "I lost everything, so I'm not interested in making such a big wager."

"And do you think you can reach the river with this pan? Don't even think about it, even if you dig three feet up, you would still find it.

The woman let go of her arms and retrieved a brandy from the wine cellar. She washed the glasses clean with water and poured a cup for Li Xiang and another for herself.

Gently swaying, the wine cup made an enchanting rattling sound. [Why not the Great Thousand World?]

This action made Li Xiang a little disbelieving. Since a short, thin and short woman could utter such a sigh, she was completely different from her appearance and age.

Receiving the wine cup, Li Xiang did not know what to say. What the lady said was not wrong at all, to the higher ups, Jiang Yi had long been a piece of trash, rather than taking it step by step, it would be better to insert more effort into new people.

Not to mention the others, even he himself would feel the same way if he were to sit in a particular seat. Destroying a pot of good soup for the sake of a mouse's shit was too risky.

But the man in the trap was his brother, and he couldn't look at it with his left hand like the others.

"I am stupid, but if that person is your relative, you might not say so."

In the end, Li Xiang still chose to play the card of sympathy. After all, no matter how strong a woman at this age was, she would more or less have some initial intention.

"I don't have a family, so I won't worry about that."

The woman took a deep sip of the wine, the faint aroma of the wine lingering at the corner of her mouth.

"…"

It seemed like this woman wasn't ruthless, she just hadn't experienced beauty before.

"Dinner is ready, Xiao Min, and this mister, please come and have some." The woman was busy in the kitchen. She wiped her hands and walked out.

The two of them were just a coarse and elegant hand and a heavy laugh, it made Li Xiang's heart ache. He had no family, his mother shouldn't know which corner of the world she lived in now either, right?

"Alright, I'll go now." Xiao Min turned around and glanced at Li Xiang. Seeing him sitting there in a daze, his eyes moistened a little and he could guess how much.

As a person who had fallen to the ends of the earth, she understood the feeling of bitterness in her heart that she couldn't put her finger on it. After so many years, hadn't he fallen into a quagmire from this feeling?

Therefore, she had been unfairly treated since she was young. All her friends, classmates, and neighbors by her side were laughing at her past. "Orphan, child no one wants."

Step by step, not only did he have a special talent, but he had to work hard day and night to achieve this result.

"Do you want to come and eat? If you're done eating, then go. There's really nothing I can do about it."

Xiao Min's attitude was much better, but it was truly impossible to compromise.

"Alright, I understand. I won't force you to help. I can handle it myself."

Li Xiang did not continue asking for more, since the others did not want to, he would not continue asking for more.

Seeing that the two of them were still chatting, the woman urged them to eat again after walking out of the living room.

Seeing Xiao Min's pale face, the aunty knew that the two of them were talking about something. She let out a long sigh.

It seemed that Xiao Min still had not walked out of this shadow even after so long. However, it was true, if it was someone else, they wouldn't be able to accept it, and being able to have the courage to live would be the best outcome.

"That, young man, what should I call you?" The old lady picked up an order and placed it on Li Xiang's plate.

"Li Xiang."

"The name is quite nice. "To enjoy, one must know how to enjoy life." Li Xiang nodded his head in embarrassment. It could be said that one should live a good life in this moment, enjoying all the good things and time.

"This name was given to me by my grandmother. She wished that I could live without any worries, but now it's not what she wants, hehe." Li Xiang self-deprecatingly ridiculed, and a faint sadness flashed past his heart, but it only flashed by for a moment, and quickly returned to normal.

Seeing that Li Xiang's thoughts were on his mind, the auntie did not say anymore. She quietly ate dinner for half an hour and then quickly tidied up her dishes.

"This USB drive, I'll give it back to you." Li Xiang hesitated for a while, but still placed the slip of paper and the USB in his document bag on the table.

"I hope you can get rid of all those bad guys and bring up Jiang Yi's name and mine when you're making the news. My name is Li Xiang."

He couldn't be a moral kidnapper. He wasn't the only one who had problems in this world.

Xiao Min glanced at Li Xiang, but did not say a word. However, she didn't even know what she was chewing on.

Her ice-cold heart had started to melt a little, and since she couldn't help herself, she wanted to help.

Xiao Min didn't even know if she was truly sorry for his conscience, or if it was due to him giving face to her colleagues for so many years, or if she was moved by this man.

"Thank you for your hospitality. Auntie is leaving." Li Xiang waved his hands as he kept the documents and shoes.

It was already 8 PM, if he went back too late, Mo Fei would probably be worried too. Moreover, he had to go back earlier to filter out the information on how to save Jiang Yi.

"Leaving so soon? Then come often when you're free." The grandma hadn't finished washing the chopsticks when she heard the sound and hurried over. Her clothes still had the scent of detergent.

Li Xiang nodded and walked out the door. The fresh wind hit his face.

After returning to Wen Jing's house, Li Xiang gave a brief summary of the report to Mo Fei, then rushed back to his room to plan.

He took out a draft map and used a pencil to draw a few important points on it.

Now, the first step was to find Jiang Yi and bring him to a safe place to protect him. It seemed that the first step tomorrow would be to find someone he could trust and rent a place to stay, then pack up all the food he needed. If he continued to squat like this, Jiang Yi would probably not be able to leave for two or three months.

He knew that even though the people in the group would closely follow Jiang Yi's whereabouts, as long as they did not see any trace of Jiang Yi after a few months, they would naturally settle this matter.

Then he would come up with all sorts of strategies to make up for the loss, because that would be much more practical than finding a person without a veil.

Thus, he could only bet on whether his luck was good enough and Jiang Yi's not …

But now, he didn't even know where Jiang Yi would go. Li Xiang shook his hair gloomily.

Perhaps his only way now was to find the van that carried them before, then he would know who rented it, and then find out where Jiang Yi was from this person.

However, this was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just as he was thinking, Mo Fei suddenly shouted and went to answer the phone.

"Who is it? Did you find the wrong place? "

Li Xiang had not interacted with anyone since he arrived in this city. Other than Mo Fei, who else would have his number?

"Excuse me, who is it?"

Twenty seconds, thirty seconds … The other party's phone did not make the slightest sound.

"He couldn't have made the wrong call, right? Speechless."

Just as Li Xiang was about to die, a female voice suddenly came out from the other party.

"I can help you find Jiang Yi, but you have to agree to one of my requests."

"Who is it? "How did you know I was looking for him?"

Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Li Xiang was fully focused.

"Don't worry about who I am. In short, I can help you, but you must remember this. You must repay me in the future." Tomorrow, Jiang Yi's location will be sent to your phone, as long as you go with this address and find a haircut shop, you will know about everything, but afterwards, remember to delete a message. "

Before Li Xiang could finish analyzing the situation, the other party's phone number had already hung up.

, who was left completely confused, stood where he was, not knowing what to do.

On the other side —

"Thank you."

"No need for thanks, Xiao Min, it's something that I should do, but who is that person? It's the first time I heard you say that you would help someone."

"He's just one of my men."

"Yo, I'm just listening to your bullsh * t."

Xiao Min, who was holding onto the book, revealed a faint smile.
