Chapter 751: Second Brother
Those words actually made Kong Xue laugh from anger. Although Li Xiaofei had always acted arrogantly before, at least it hadn’t been completely outrageous. But this time, he dared to say something utterly absurd.
Who in Chongque City, aside from those few towering figures, could beat their chest and claim they could make a Deputy Director of a bureau kneel in public?
“Forget it. Everything is fate,” Kong Xue sighed. She made up her mind. “Pack up. We’re leaving Chongque City.”
Once the decision was made, this strong-willed woman became decisive again. She said, “Li Qingchen, you’re coming with us. We’ll slip out of Chongque City and lay low for now. Wait until the storm passes before deciding what to do next.”
“Leave?” Li Xiaofei replied, “There’s no need. I really can resolve this.”
Kong Xue’s face turned stern as she said, “If it weren’t for Little Xue, you— Stop talking. Bring every resource and piece of wealth you can carry. We’re leaving tonight. I’ll arrange the escape route and the ship. After all these years of working in Chongque City, I made a backup plan long ago. Once we’re out, even if we can’t become rich and powerful, we can at least live in peace.”
“Auntie, it’s really not necessary...” Li Xiaofei said with a smile, trying to reassure her.
Kong Xue snapped, “You’re not afraid to die. You want to drag everyone down with you, fine. But have you thought about the child in Little Xue’s belly? Do you want that child to be born fatherless?”
Truth be told, if it weren’t for Si Kongxue’s obsessive love for Li Xiaofei, Kong Xue would have long since set things in motion behind the scenes. She would have quietly gotten rid of Li Xiaofei and handed him over to An Daoqing as a peace offering.
Si Xingyun didn’t say a word and immediately began preparing. Since he could see that none of them believed him, Li Xiaofei decided it was best not to argue any further. He turned and walked outside, then dialed a number on his light core.
“Hey? Big Brother, you finally called me! Is it because of that mad dog An Daoqing?” On the other end, Song Shiyan, the city lord’s son, answered excitedly.
Of course, whether that joy was genuine or just an act remained unknown.
