lan was exhausted. She had gotten up early to dress and bathe the two little "emperors," as they were known in the family. People who hadn't raised children wouldn't understand, even something as sim...Han Li glanced at his watch: “No need, it's still early. I’ll go back to the company for overtime.”

Since she was already in this alleyway, she wanted to drop by and see Han Zhaoyi. She'd been working too hard lately, and besides their daily video calls, they hadn't seen each other in a few days.

But Zhao Tingxing was surprisingly chivalrous today, insisting on sending her: "Then I'll send you to the company."

Han Li had no choice but to get into his car. She could feel that after their conversation today, he seemed a lot more courteous towards her.

When he was in the car, he said: "Why don't you cooperate with me Whatever Gu Ruantong promised you, I can double it for you."

Han Li replied coolly, "You can't give me that. He can protect my parents' graves, can you"

Zhao Tingxing scoffed: "Is that all it takes for you to risk your life for him"

Hàn Lì endured it, but in the end, he couldn't bear it any longer: "You don't understand this kind of human connection because you haven't fundamentally evolved into a human being yet. That's why you don't understand what connects people to each other."

After Han Li finished speaking, the knot in his chest from these past few days seemed to suddenly dissipate. That's right, why would I get angry at an animal that hasn't even evolved properly

"Thinking of calling me a beast again" Zhao Tingxing glanced at her while driving.

She muttered, "It's not cursing, it's the truth."

Although the voice was soft, being so close inside the car, he could hear it clearly.

This time, he didn't get angry. Instead, he said, “Since you were mounted by beasts so many times, what are you A beast too”

“Stop the car!” she shouted, wanting to get out.

"Don't just call for a stop every time you can't win the argument."

She said calmly, "My company has arrived."

He pointed to the building outside the window. Although it was just Gu's branch office in the capital, it still had a standalone office building.

Zhao Tingxing only then parked the car on the roadside, but he locked the car doors and didn't let her get out.

The door wouldn't open, and she looked back at him in the driver's seat. He was also looking at her, his eyes clearly conveying his thoughts. When it came to fulfilling each other's needs, he enjoyed going on that journey with her. In that respect, they were a perfect match.

But Han Li held onto the car door, unmoved, very calmly: "Open the door. I just said, I'm not an animal."

"Really" He grabbed the collar of her shirt, pulling her closer. He leaned down and kissed her, taking control, rough and domineering.

He overused his brain today and all he wants now is to relax.

But Han Li's lips were ice-cold, and they didn't respond as usual.

There was no interaction, it was bland. Zhao Tingxing didn't push it, let go of her, pressed the car lock button, and let her out of the car.

He didn't leave immediately, but stood there watching her gradually walk away, until her figure disappeared into that glittering skyscraper.

These cities are all towering skyscrapers, bustling with traffic and brilliant prosperity. But at this moment, what appears in his mind is like a vast forest shrouded in mist, with a hunter chasing him from behind. He and Hanli are running desperately forward, running, she finds him slow and runs ahead on her own. In the pitch-black mountains, he can only see her back gradually disappear.

Just as so, vanishing into the vast sea of lights.

Two backs merge together, achieving harmony in their dissonance.

He wouldn't waste too much time on women. He stayed in the car for a while, started the engine and drove back to that teahouse, asking Zhang Ze to bring Minister Liao out. His anger had burned for a while, it was time to add fuel to the fire.

As soon as the car entered that narrow alleyway, under the dim streetlights, he suddenly saw that little fellow and two elderly people resting by the roadside. Each of them held an ice cream stick in their hands.

The little guy saw him too, and waving his popsicle, he happily ran towards him: “Zhao Tingxing, did you come to find me”

Little punk, I'll find you a ghost!

He took a step back, trying to pretend he didn't know her and walk towards the teahouse in the alley, but the little girl's surprised expression and shining eyes stopped him. He paused and asked disdainfully, "What are you doing here"

Is not in Senzhou

My great-grandparents and my godmother's family are all here.

As he was about to introduce him to his great-grandparents, the two elderly people not far away saw the child talking to a stranger and hurried over.

Zhaoting didn't have time to deal with them, so he said, "I have something to do, I'm leaving."

The little guy shouted, "Zhao Tingxing, my house is just ahead. Come play with me if you have time."

Although the child was young, he was smart. He knew Zhao Ting looked fierce and often scared him, but he wouldn't really hit him.

Zhao Tingxing didn't seem to hear. "Are kids nowadays this enthusiastic"

Just as he was about to walk into the hutong, Zhang Ze stood behind the child. He didn't know when he arrived, glanced at the little guy, and asked Zhao Ting: "Do you know this kid"

Zhao Tingxing ignored him and walked ahead: "Where's Liao"

"Here we are."

Zhang Ze glanced at the child again. The child made a silly face at him and ran away to the two elderly people beside him.

Minister Liao arrived at the teahouse very late. When he saw Zhao Tingxing, he was extremely cold. Zhao Tingxing acted recklessly and without regard for others. He publicly had people take photos with Liao Liao, while also taking pictures with Mrs. Liao. His purpose was to show it off to someone. Who would want to be threatened

Zhao Tingxing certainly didn't want to go against the grain, but he didn't have Gu Ruandong's innate conditions. He had a limited amount of resources at his disposal and could only play with schemes and strategies. He could only rely on himself, and if he didn't use some special means, who would take him seriously

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Although Minister Liao hated him, he only showed coldness and couldn't ignore him. He put on an official tone and said: "I'm in charge of the economy. Back then, I could help Gu Ruandong because the Senbing Group was a mess at the time, and Gu Ruandong monopolized important metals. I had no choice but to help him. But now, Senbing has recovered its energy and is cooperating with the military department. It's not my turn to speak, you know that. Even if you force me, it won't work."

Zhang Ze brewed tea beside them, and Zhao Tingxing pushed the cup toward Liao Bu's face: "I'm tired of hearing this. Give me something new. You don't have to do anything; just cooperate with me."

He never goes into battle unprepared. He has planted informants deep within the Senbing Group, so even Gu Ruandong hasn't noticed.

Since there is no way to break through from the outside, we can only stir things up from within.

Liao continued, “You’d be better off finding the Song family than me. After the fall of the Li family, the Song family is now the only one standing. Since Gu Ruandong took over the Senbing Group, he's grown it bigger and bigger. Do you really think he achieved this all by himself His cooperation with the Song family, though discreet, isn't without a trace.”

The Song family is well-known for their low profile, and even the younger generation, Song Jingye, is very reserved.

“The more low-key they are, the more it indicates there’s a problem and they’re afraid of being investigated. If you look for even the slightest clue, the Song family will inevitably submit to you. Then, with your cooperation from the outside and theirs from within, Gu Ruandong won’t stand a chance.” Liao Bu concluded, also pointing him in the right direction.

Zhao Tingxing downed the cup of tea in one gulp, unable to stomach the bitter and astringent taste. After finishing it, he smiled and said, "Are you trying to use me as a weapon". 。After sitting in the office for a while, Cui Jie came to inform him that there was a meeting, and he then got up and walked out. 。This meeting is about the acquisition of Shunxin Technology. There...
