Chapter 1229 - 1226: Violent Interrogation
Wang Lei managed to find Yan Xin'er in such a short time, showing that he's already taken an interest in her. Since he's interested, things will certainly be easier.
Lai Xiaole was well aware of Yan Xin'er's abilities; it wouldn't even take ten people to be a match for her, let alone just Wang Lei.
After greeting briefly, Lai Xiaole turned to enter his office. Nearing the door, he winked slightly at Yan Xin'er.
Yan Xin'er, full of wit and intelligence, was quick to grasp Lai Xiaole's meaning. She offered Wang Lei a charming smile and followed Lai Xiaole into the office.
Locking the door of the office, Lai Xiaole looked at Yan Xin'er and said, "The fish are hooked, what's your plan?"
Yan Xin'er didn't answer directly; instead, she asked Lai Xiaole back, "President Lai, what do you want me to do?"
Lai Xiaole chuckled, saying, "Xinxin, you're as clever as ever. Even if I don't say it, you should know what to do."
Yan Xin'er pursed her lips and gave him a look, "President Lai, since you know, why bother asking me what to do."
Lai Xiaole was momentarily speechless, unsure of how to reply to Yan Xin'er.
Yan Xin'er's eyes twinkled, suddenly she laughed and said, "President Lai, if we want to gain a breakthrough from Wang Lei, we must look for answers with Night Yin Flower. However, he seems very shrewd. Do you think I need to sacrifice a bit to lure him?"
Lai Xiaole certainly didn't want Yan Xin'er to sacrifice anything, but seeing her demeanor, he knew she had a plan in mind. He laughed heartily, "That would depend on whether our Xinxin is willing or not."
The method Yan Xin'er planned was actually quite simple; it was a beauty trap.
As soon as Yan Xin'er stepped out of Lai Xiaole's office, Wang Lei's eyes were immediately glued to her. This woman was simply too enticing; spending a night with her would make dying worthwhile.
Yan Xin'er flashed a charming smile, walked over to Wang Lei, and said, "I have two questions for you. If you can answer them, I will surely grant your wish."
Wang Lei's eyes lit up immediately, "Alright, ask away."
Yan Xin'er sat down opposite Wang Lei, intentionally or not, her long legs were spread out openly, causing Wang Lei's inner evil fire to flare up.
"Who instructed you to go after your sister-in-law, Chen Hui?" Yan Xin'er asked with a captivating smile, her eyes fixed on Wang Lei.
Wang Lei's face changed instantly, and he angrily rose, the evil fire that had been burning inside him vanished, "What do you mean?" he questioned coldly.
Yan Xin'er maintained her charming smile, "You don't understand what I mean?"
Feeling guilty, Wang Lei turned and walked out of the studio.
With the confrontation out in the open, if Wang Lei were to leave like this, getting information from him in the future would prove difficult. Yan Xin'er stood up and blocked Wang Lei, "You want to leave? Answer my question first."
Wang Lei, confident in his manhood, didn't put Yan Xin'er in his eyes. Seeing her blocking him, he raised his right hand to hit her.
Yan Xin'er merely smiled, her body suddenly moving. She countered quickly, and with a sharp 'slap,' five distinct marks appeared on Wang Lei's face.
Yan Xin'er's speed was swift, the slap catching him off guard. Holding his face, he looked at Yan Xin'er dumbfounded.
"Wang Lei, you'd better answer my question honestly." Yan Xin'er's smile was alluring, showing no sign of threat.
Looking at Yan Xin'er's smile, Wang Lei remained silent.
At this moment, Lai Xiaole came out of the office, already aware of the situation. Walking over to Wang Lei, he patted his shoulder, "I'd advise you to speak up quickly, or you might be in trouble."
Wang Lei glanced sideways at Lai Xiaole but still didn't answer.
Lai Xiaole sighed lightly and shook his head, "If you don't speak soon, I really can't help you."
As he said this, his expression was somewhat comical, and his gaze glanced at Yan Xin'er.
Yan Xin'er's charming smile grew more pronounced, her fair right hand reaching towards Wang Lei's face, making him jump back in fright.
Yan Xin'er giggled, "I wasn't going to eat you. What's there to be afraid of?"
Wang Lei's face froze, before he could react, Yan Xin'er's right hand swung around, her right leg lifted, and her high heel struck his right leg.
Ah...
Wang Lei let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground in pain.
Yan Xin'er's charming smile vanished, her eyes rounded, coldly speaking to Wang Lei, "You damn bastard, not appreciating kindness."
Drunk from the surprise, no one expected the beautiful girl Yan Xin'er to say such words.
Wang Lei continued to cry out in pain, unable to answer Yan Xin'er's question, as she raised her foot again, mercilessly kicking him twice more with her high heels.
This is going to be the death of Wang Lei. The immense pain changed his face, and he screamed, "Stop hitting me, I'll talk."
Lai Xiaole found it amusing, thinking at first that Yan Xin'er could seduce the truth out of Wang Lei, but unexpectedly, she resorted to violence.
To deal with a lecher like Wang Lei, it seems the most effective method is violence.
Since Wang Lei agreed to talk, Yan Xin'er didn't continue hitting him. The charming smile reappeared on her pretty face as she raised her right hand, gently stroked Wang Lei's face, and said, "Go ahead, speak."
Wang Lei's face was distorted with pain. Seeing Yan Xin'er's smiling face made him uneasy, and he hurriedly said, "It was President Qin Zhengxiong of the Mei Hao Group who ordered me to do it."
Upon hearing Wang Lei's words, Lai Xiaole couldn't help but frown. He had heard of Qin Zhengxiong's name, yet he had no dealings with him. Why would he target him?
"Why is Qin Zhengxiong going after Chen Hui and Yang Xu? What's his goal?" Lai Xiaole pondered for a moment, looking at Wang Lei and asked.
Wang Lei murmured softly, "I don't know."
Yan Xin'er smiled charmingly at Wang Lei. Wang Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "I really don't know. I just thought if Chen Hui died, my brother's inheritance would be mine."
Lai Xiaole frowned again. It seemed Wang Lei became Qin Zhengxiong's pawn out of personal desire—reminiscent of the things Ye Ling had told him, it was if a line suddenly formed in his mind.
The Soul Leaving Spell and the Night Yin Flower are peculiar to the Maoshan Tao sect. From this point, it's clear that those targeting him were from Maoshan Tao.
Although he figured out it was Maoshan Tao targeting him, he still couldn't understand why they were after him.
Ye Ling and Feng'er returned to the villa, and Ye Tiansheng's attitude towards Feng'er had improved significantly. The young man before him was a complete stranger, yet his arrival solved a crisis.
This suddenly appearing young man, did he have an ulterior motive? For a businessman like Ye Tiansheng, such suspicion was quite normal.
"Feng'er, why did you help me?" Ye Tiansheng asked Feng'er, who sat across from him, with a gaze filled with deep meaning.
Feng'er smiled slightly and said, "You're Ye Ling's father, and Ye Ling is my friend."
Feng'er's answer was straightforward, but Ye Tiansheng's eyes fixed on his face, hoping to find a flaw, but he was disappointed. Feng'er's smile was utterly sincere, without any deceit.
"Dad." Seeing Ye Tiansheng's attitude, Ye Ling felt a bit unhappy. Hugging Ye Tiansheng's arm, she playfully said, "Didn't I tell you already, Feng'er saved me twice, how could you still..."
Ye Tiansheng chuckled and said, "Feng'er, you not only saved my daughter but also me. Feel free to ask anything of me, and if I can do it, I will."
Feng'er kept smiling and said, "I promised someone to send Ye Ling back. Now that the task is complete, I think it's time for me to say goodbye."
When Ye Ling heard Feng'er was leaving, she panicked, jumped up, ran to Feng'er, and grabbed his right arm, saying, "No, you can't go."
Feng'er was taken aback for a moment and said, "Now that you're safely home, why can't I leave?"
Ye Ling, holding Feng'er's arm, looked at Ye Tiansheng with expectation in her eyes.
Ye Tiansheng, seeing his beloved daughter looking at him, understood her intention and said with a smile, "Feng'er, don't be in a rush to leave. I have something to ask for your help."
Ye Tiansheng had two reasons for saying this: first, for his beloved daughter, and second, he genuinely needed Feng's help.
Since Qin Zhengxiong was determined to harm him, it couldn't just end easily. For the sake of himself and his beloved daughter, he felt Feng'er should not leave now.
Ye Ling added, "Yes, my dad has something to ask you, please stay a few more days, won't you?"
Seeing the hope in Ye Ling's pretty eyes, Feng'er's heart softened, and he said, "Alright, I'll stay."
Hearing that Feng'er agreed to stay, Ye Ling was overjoyed, hugged Feng'er, and kissed him on the cheek.
Feng'er was stunned, staring blankly at Ye Ling.
Realizing her inappropriate behavior, Ye Ling blushed with embarrassment, quickly released Feng'er, and ran to the side with a flushed face.
Ye Tiansheng was about to say something when Ye Ling's phone rang.
Calming her excited emotions, Ye Ling answered the call. It was from Lai Xiaole, asking Ye Ling and Feng'er to come to his studio immediately, saying there was an urgent matter.
