Chapter 136: Do You Have a Favorite Person?
He stood at the window for a long time, until the rain crackled on the windowsill outside, and he came to his senses. Raindrops came in through the window, Li Peiyuan reached out and closed the window, then went back to bed and lay down.
It was early in the morning, and the sound of crackling rain outside covered all sounds. Li Peiyuan lay quietly, a slight pain in a corner of his heart, and he closed his eyes.
Time flies, and winter is coming.
Li Peiyuan originally planned to go abroad, but due to various reasons, the matter of going abroad was finally delayed. His resignation was also not approved, and he continued with his previous job. However, he did not return to Kyoto.
I don't know for what reason, whenever there is a dangerous task, he is the one who rushes to the front. Although he is based in Yucheng, he often starts to travel on business. When there are dangerous and tricky tasks that others can't avoid, he often plays in person.
He is rigorous and meticulous, and in the long run, he can't stand to offend people. So much so that Cheng Wei, who had been staying in Kyoto after Zhou He gave birth to a child, specially met him when he came to Yucheng and reminded him to be careful, saying that he had offended too many people, and there was news from his side that someone wanted to be unfavorable to him.
Li Peiyuan naturally knew that he had offended many people, and he also knew that there were many people who wanted to take revenge on him. Cheng Wei's news should be true.
He nodded, and said yes. After a slight pause, he thanked Cheng Wei.
Although he knew it was true, he didn't pay much attention to it. didn't listen to Cheng Wei's words, and when he went out, he still didn't bring anyone with him.
It happened very suddenly, and the day after Cheng Wei reminded him, Li Peiyuan had an accident on the way to get off work.
He likes to get off work in the evening, which is no longer the rush hour, but the road is still congested, and the car is stop-and-go all the way.
Halfway through the car, the front was completely blocked. From a distance, you can't see the end at a glance.
Li Peiyuan stopped the car at an appropriate distance, and then looked ahead with a frown. I don't know if there was a car accident or something, but there was no movement for a long time. Some impatient drivers even get out of the middle of the road, hoping to see what is going on.
Although Li Peiyuan is not in a hurry, it is obviously irritating to keep blocking. He looked ahead at the time.
As soon as he withdrew his gaze from his watch, he looked up at the window, and there were five or six big men carrying sticks, striding through the vehicle and striding towards this side.
Those big men had a face full of meat, and they all looked vicious.
Although they hadn't come over yet, Li Peiyuan's heart suddenly stretched out a bad premonition.
He glanced quickly ahead and then behind him. The front and rear are blocked, and the vehicle cannot be started at all.
That is, if someone does something to him at this time, it is completely a turtle in an urn, which is a very good time.
His grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly, and he quickly made a decision, opened the door and got out of the car.
Those people really came for him, and when they saw him get out of the car, they cursed and cursed in their mouths, and they chased after him.
Sure enough, it was for him.
Li Peiyuan relaxed a little now, and when he fought in the middle of the road, the vehicles were so crowded, it was obvious that he would hurt the innocent. He ignored the exchange of people behind him and walked briskly up the road.
His movements were not very fast, and as soon as he reached the side of the road, the men chased after him. One person lifted a large steel pipe, and the leader slashed directly at him.
Li Peiyuan's eyes didn't blink, and when the steel pipe was about to fall, he grabbed the man's wrist and kicked the man's knee heavily, only to hear the man's wail, and the whole person knelt on the ground at once.
The leader fell to the ground, and those who came behind him besieged him. Since a few people came to clean up Li Peiyuan, the weapons in their hands were not as simple as steel pipes.
Although he is powerful, his hands are invincible with four fists, and several people besieging him together can't solve it for a while. But it's not at a disadvantage.
Then a fight on the street attracts the attention of passers-by.
Those people came with the intention of a quick battle, they didn't expect Li Peiyuan to be so difficult, seeing that they couldn't solve it for a while, some villains pulled out a dagger and stabbed Li Peiyuan fiercely.
Li Pei narrowly avoided it, but one person showed his weapon, and the others also showed it one after another. He was even more vigilant now, knowing that he had to make a quick decision, and after dealing with the two more, he grabbed a steel pipe and swept towards the two who rushed towards him.
The speed of the two people rushing over was so fast that he didn't expect him to sweep the steel pipe over, and they fell to the ground one after another. But at that moment, another man rushed towards his side.
A gust of wind brought up, Rao is Li Peiyuan reacted quickly, and the dagger was still grazing his waist. A big cut in the suit was made, and the shirt inside was quickly dyed red.
The man was hit with a single blow, and then he gritted his teeth and immediately rushed again. But this time it was not so lucky, Li Peiyuan kicked him hard, he was kicked out of the distance, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a while.
At this time, a passer-by had already called the police, and the police in the vicinity rushed over.
Li Peiyuan has also been in Yucheng for a long time, and those patrolling policemen naturally recognize him. Seeing that he was injured, while taking him to the hospital, he called his colleagues and asked them to come over for support and bring these bold gangsters back to the police station for interrogation.
Li Peiyuan originally wanted to say no, but the blood on his waist flowed quickly, and the shirt inside was wet after a while. He reached out and pressed it, allowing someone to take him to the hospital.
Because he avoided it quickly, the wound was not very deep, but it was a long one. Although it was only a skin injury, it looked shocking.
The man who sent him here was frightened, and after he had bandaged his wounds, they had to escort him back personally. In case the other party took advantage of his injury to attack again, he called someone over and let him protect Li Peiyuan 24 hours a day.
Li Peiyuan felt that this matter was a bit of a fuss, so he didn't need to. The people below refused, thinking that the other party had already arranged it. Since the other party knew his whereabouts and chose the right time to make a move, it shows that they had premeditated.
The dagger lit up, apparently not just trying to teach him a lesson. Rather, they wanted his life. How can this kind of thing be taken lightly.
Li Peiyuan was a little tired, and when he saw that people insisted, he did not object again. Let them escort him to the car.
The car was just about to start when he realized that he had forgotten to take his coat. The phone is also in the jacket.
He was going to get out of the car again to get his coat and his phone.
He was still injured, and the people in front of him would let him go, let him wait in the car, and call someone to go back and get his phone and coat.
Although he is resolute and unemotional, he doesn't have half a point when getting along with the people below. The atmosphere in the car is not formal. A few of his colleagues who accompanied him analyzed the forces behind those gangsters.
Compared to their eagerness to pick it out, peel it and cramp, Li Peiyuan, the client, is completely cold. It's like an outsider. After getting in the car, I closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.
After several people discussed for a few times to no avail, they saw Li Peiyuan leaning with his eyes closed. There was too much blood shed, and his face was not good, a little pale.
At this moment, the people quieted down, and after looking at each other for a few times, someone asked, "Li Chu, are you okay?"
Li Peiyuan said that it was okay now.
His voice was a little low, and he didn't open his eyes.
Knowing that he must have wanted to rest at this time, the people didn't speak again until the car stopped at the door of the house, which reminded Li Peiyuan that he had arrived.
Li Peiyuan opened his eyes, and as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Yan Xu standing at the gate of the courtyard at a glance.
His body was a little embarrassed, his brows furrowed slightly, and he didn't care about the people who followed him, took a few steps forward, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Yan Xu looked at the bloodstains on his body, squeezed his hands unconsciously, squeezed out a smile, and said, "I called, someone else answered, I heard that you were injured, so I came over to take a look." ”
Li Peiyuan glanced back at the person who went back to get his clothes and mobile phone for him, quickly retracted his gaze, and said to Yan Xu: "Come in." ”
As he spoke, he opened the door and let Yan Xu go in first. He also told the people below to go back, and then he entered the courtyard.
Yan Xu has not gone far, just waiting for him not far away. It wasn't until he came over that he asked, "What's wrong with your injuries?"
Li Peiyuan's face was calm, and he said lightly: "It's nothing, just a little skin injury." They exaggerated. ”
He didn't even ask what others said, and said that others were exaggerating.
Yan Xu didn't say anything, and followed him into the house.
Li Peiyuan's clothes were stained with blood, and he was going to change his clothes. After greeting Yan Xu, he went back to his room.
Yan Xu estimated that he hadn't eaten yet, so he went into the kitchen and began to cook noodles.
When Li Peiyuan washed up and changed his clothes and came out, Yan Xu had already cooked a bowl of shredded pork noodles. Li Peiyuan, the housekeeper, said, "You shouldn't have eaten, I cooked noodles." ”
She is very attentive and considerate.
Li Peiyuan's footsteps paused slightly, walked over, and said thank you.
He didn't feel hungry, but he still ate a bowl of noodles.
Perhaps because of the strenuous exercise, he was a little tired, but he did not feel sleepy at all. After eating, I sat down on the couch and watched TV.
Yan Xu obviously didn't plan to go back tonight, so after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he went to the medicine box to find anti-inflammatory drugs and asked Li Peiyuan to take a pill.
When the weather cooled down, the wound was not so easy to infect, Li Peiyuan originally wanted to say that it was okay, but he still took the medicine and took it.
Yan Xu also sat down on the sofa opposite him, saw that he had finished taking his medicine, and asked, "Have you found out the motive of those people?"
He was assassinated on his way home, and this is no small matter. After tomorrow, the atmosphere inside and outside the police station will be tense.
Li Peiyuan didn't seem to want to mention this topic, put the cup down, and said lightly: "It's still investigating." ”
Yan Xu subconsciously looked at his waist, paused, and asked, "Do you know who it is?"
Someone wants to kill him, and he should have a little bit in his heart.
But Li Peiyuan didn't answer Yan Xu and said, "Don't worry, they will check." ”
Yan Xu nodded, and then he didn't speak again. Seeing that Li Peiyuan's cup of water had been drunk, he got up and poured him another glass of water.
Li Peiyuan said thank you in a low voice, knowing that she rushed over because she was worried, her tone eased slightly, and then said: "It's just a skin injury, don't worry." The people have all been caught, as long as you judge patiently, sooner or later you will judge the people behind them. ”
Yan Xu nodded.
No one spoke for a while, and after a while, Li Peiyuan said: "I want to be quiet, you are tired after a day of work, go and rest first." ”
He said he wanted to be quiet, and he said that it would not be good to sit down again. He asked him to call her, and went to the guest room.
She's not been here once or twice, she's familiar. After washing, he lay down on the bed.
Li Peiyuan, who was outside, sat for a long time before returning to the room.
Although he was injured, Li Peiyuan seemed to be a person who was fine. The next morning, I still woke up early. Originally, he was going to go to work, but in the morning, his boss personally called him, asking him to recuperate and rest at home for the past few days, and they were still interrogating, so he tried not to go out.
Whatever his boss says is always the same, although Li Peiyuan said that he was okay and could go to work. They didn't change their minds, and let him rest at home and go back to work after his injuries healed.
Suddenly idle at home, Li Peiyuan was a little unaccustomed. I stood with my phone in my hand for a while, and then put it aside.
Today, Yanxu got up early and started to boil porridge, although she didn't hear what Li Peiyuan said on the phone, she guessed something from his tone. Now I was relieved.
After eating breakfast, she asked Li Peiyuan what she wanted to eat at night, and she bought it after work and brought it over.
Li Peiyuan said that he was okay and asked her not to come over.
Yan Xu naturally wouldn't listen to him, and said seriously: "You have injuries on your body, you have to eat some nutritious food to recover quickly." You're welcome, I'm fine after work. ”
Li Peiyuan couldn't refuse, and was silent and didn't speak.
Since then, Yan Xu will come to the house almost every day after work. Whenever she came over, she would bring food with her. Every day, he changes his tricks to make food for Li Peiyuan to nourish his blood and body.
Two days ago, Li Peiyuan asked her not to come over when she was busy, but seeing that she was still doing her own thing, she didn't mention it again, and let her go.
It's boring to be at home, and Li Peiyuan doesn't bother to pay attention to the progress of the case or how the trial went. Find some books to read during the day, and at night after dinner, you either watch TV or pour yourself a drink.
His wounds healed quickly, and his drinking and promising did not stop him. Let him drink.
In the evening, it was probably going to rain, and the yard was a little stuffy. Li Peiyuan took a bottle of red wine and sat on the stone stairs outside.
The door at the back was wide open, and when Yan Xu came over, he motioned for her to sit down, and then poured her a glass of wine, and said, "Drink, drink a little to help you sleep." ”
I didn't refuse, but took a sip from my glass.
Li Peiyuan was much more bold than her, and drank it all with a glass. Then a second cup was poured.
After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, he looked at Yan Xu, and asked about Yan Xu's past.
Yan Xu's childhood was quite interesting, so he talked about it.
She said that she would ask Li Pei about it later. Li Peiyuan answered them all.
Probably because Yan Xu was reminiscing, he listened to it and fell into the memory. He rested his head on the pillar and closed his eyes.
He leaned for five or six minutes before he opened his eyes again, and just took the wine and poured it into the wine glass, and before he could hold it, he heard Yan Xu ask, "Mr. Li, do you have anyone you like?"
Li Peiyuan didn't expect her to suddenly ask such a question, so she couldn't help but be stunned, and the wine glass didn't move for a while when she reached her hand, so she sat like that.
After a long time, he leaned back on the pillar and slowly drank the liquid from the cup, not answering Yanxu's question from beginning to end.
The courtyard was extremely quiet, and the wine in Li Peiyuan's hand was drunk. He stood up and said to Yan Xu, "It's not early, go to bed early." ”
When he had said this, he did not sit down again. He took the wine and the glass, stood up, and walked inside.
Although Yan Xu asked such a question, by the next day, Li Peiyuan was already like a person who had nothing to do. It looks the same as usual.
He has been resting at home for more than a week, and the wound has healed. There has also been some progress on the case. At first, none of them would confide any information, and now they have been locked up and not allowed to communicate with the outside world. Some people can't bear the psychological pressure first, and they are hired by others.
Since these things involve Li Peiyuan, the progress is naturally to be told to him. He took the opportunity to take the vacation and go back to work. also let Yan Xu not have to come over again, he is afraid that he will work overtime until late during this time. And on the side of his house, although there is no movement from the people behind him now, it is no longer safe.
Yan Xu nodded in agreement.
In the following time, Li Peiyuan really became very busy. The man who assassinated him was not a single force. It is an alliance between forces and forces.
The top one was already relying on him, and he was angry about his injury. It is commanded and must be punished severely. Even several strike-hard operations were arranged.
So much so that for a long time, he was busy. Sometimes I don't even go back to the house, I just spend the night in the office.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the strike hard has been very smooth and the results have been remarkable. After the successful completion of the crackdown, knowing that everyone was tired, Li Peiyuan asked the group what they wanted to eat, and he invited them.
The group was in high spirits, and you quickly settled down on the ground.
Rare relaxation, the group talked several times more than usual at the dinner table. When the meal is over, I see that everyone is not yet happy. Hearing that someone proposed to go to the bar, Li Peiyuan was not disappointed, and the group moved to the bar again.
I don't know what day it is, but the bar is very lively. There are magic performers performing magic tricks. And all the people gathered around and watched.
Li Peiyuan was not interested, so he drank wine in the corner.
Although he wears casual clothes after work, because of his handsome appearance, occasionally a girl will come over to talk to him, ask him for a drink, or ask him to invite her for a drink.
Li Peiyuan was cold, no matter who came over, he only said lightly. Although his attitude is to reject people thousands of miles away, some people are trying to be cheeky and sit down to talk to him.
Li Peiyuan simply ignored people and drank his own wine.
It was past eleven o'clock, and he got up and went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he was about to leave first. But before he had walked a few steps, he saw Yan Xu coming over.
A few of her had drunk some wine, and her face was slightly red.
She obviously didn't expect to meet Li Peiyuan, so she was stunned for a moment, and then called Mr. Li.
Li Peiyuan's brows furrowed slightly, and when he saw that she was wearing professional clothes, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
Yan Xu replied honestly: "Socialize here." ”
She is not good at communication, and it has never been her turn to socialize. But the two beauties in their department were absent today, and their leaders ordered her to accompany them.
Li Peiyuan didn't say anything for a while, and after a while, he raised his wrist to look at the time and asked, "When are you leaving?"
Yan Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "The contract hasn't been signed yet, so it should be a while before you leave." ”
The client hasn't left, and the boss hasn't left, so naturally she can't go first.
Li Peiyuan's brows furrowed again, but he didn't speak now. He looked at the time again and said, "It's late, don't leave by yourself when it's over." My car is parked outside, and when the time comes, go look for me outside, and I'll send you back. ”
His tone was serious and serious.
Yan Xu had to say yes now.
Li Peiyuan motioned for her to go to the bathroom. Waiting for her to come out, he escorted her back to the private room where she was, and then went downstairs.
This time, the customer was very difficult, although he drank a lot of wine. But the contract was not signed for a long time.
But a colleague blocked the wine for her, but she didn't drink much.
She was hoping that the drinking party would end soon, but as if she was against her, it never ended.
The crowd drank another round of wine, and the customer signed before he got drunk.
The client was already drunk, and now there was nothing to do with them. The customers were sent to the hotel by the leaders to rest, while they dispersed and went home.
Yan Xu didn't go with his colleagues, and went straight to the parking lot after leaving the bar.
Li Peiyuan's car moved and stopped in a more conspicuous position in front of him. She slowed down, let out a soft sigh, and walked over.
The car door was not locked, and when she opened the door, she found that Li Peiyuan was sitting in the back. The whole person has his eyes closed, as if he has fallen asleep.
Yan Xu hesitated slightly, and called Mr. Li.
