Lin Xiao Tian really wanted to figure out if the person Li De Ping contacted was targeting him.
So, Lin Xiao Tian had Li Gui Hua deliberately leak some information about himself to Li De Ping, wanting to see Li De Ping slip up.
The next day, Li De Ping was basking in the sun in the yard, and Li Gui Hua was cleaning. She took the opportunity to say casually:
"Oh dear! Little Tian ran up the mountain early this morning, I wonder what he's doing?"
Hearing Lin Xiao Tian's name, Li De Ping's expression clearly changed.
"How do you know Lin Xiao Tian went up the mountain?"
"I saw him!"
"What is he doing up the mountain now?" Li De Ping asked again.
"I don't know. I even asked him specifically, but he seemed very anxious and didn't answer me," Li Gui Hua sighed.
Li De Ping couldn't help but frown.
But soon, he regained his composure.
Li Gui Hua figured that Li De Ping might want to use this opportunity to pass on a message, so she pretended to say:
"I'll go visit Xue Fen's house. She just got back recently, and I haven't had a chance to comfort her properly."
Hearing this, Li De Ping's face immediately darkened.
Zhang Xue Fen's pregnancy had always been a knot in his heart. This should have been his, but instead, Li Er Guai benefited.
However, to get rid of Li Gui Hua, he could only endure it.
"That's right. She's pregnant, and after such a dangerous incident, you should have a good chat with her. As a man, it's inconvenient for me to do so," Li De Ping said, pretending to be considerate.
Li Gui Hua sneered inwardly.
If she hadn't known about the affair between Li De Ping and Zhang Xue Fen, she would have believed Li De Ping's words.
However, on the surface, Li Gui Hua appeared very calm.
She tidied up briefly and then headed towards Zhang Xue Fen's house.
Li De Ping in the yard had been observing her movements. After confirming Li Gui Hua had gone far, he immediately walked indoors.
Li De Ping always carried his mobile phone with him, precisely to prevent anyone from seeing the contents of his phone. He went inside fearing that passing villagers might overhear him.
With a sense of trepidation, Li De Ping dialed the number.
Ring… ring…
The call rang a few times.
After a short while, a deep voice came from the other end.
"What is it?"
"Brother Kui, it's something important. Lin Xiao Tian just went to Black Mountain, and he was in a great hurry," Li De Ping said nervously.
"You saw him?"
"No, my wife saw him. She said Lin Xiao Tian was very anxious."
"Didn't I tell you? Hearing is not as good as seeing."
"Yes, yes, Brother Kui, you're right. But we can't let this go! Lin Xiao Tian is always so steady; for him to be in such a hurry, something big must have happened."
"Lin Xiao Tian is a doctor. Perhaps he was just going up the mountain to gather herbs?"
"It's not that simple. My wife said Lin Xiao Tian was very anxious."
"Is your wife always reliable?"
"Reliable, of course, reliable. They've even been to bed together. Lin Xiao Tian would never ignore her for no reason," Li De Ping said with confidence.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, then it said, "Okay! I understand. Continue to monitor him, and don't alert him."
Li De Ping repeatedly agreed and then hung up the phone.
After making the call, he glanced towards the door. After confirming no one was around, he finally felt relieved.
But he didn't know that while there was no one outside, it didn't mean there was no one inside.
To find out who Li De Ping was contacting, Lin Xiao Tian had hidden inside the house since early morning.
Brother Kui?
Lin Xiao Tian pondered in his mind.
There was no one around him with a name that contained "Kui." Lin Xiao Tian considered whether he should use the Heavenly Net to search later.
After Li De Ping left the house, Lin Xiao Tian seized an opportunity and slipped out of the house.
To avoid arousing Li De Ping's suspicion, Lin Xiao Tian specifically went to Black Mountain.
Of course, Lin Xiao Tian also told Li Gui Hua about what Li De Ping had said on the phone.
Only then did Li Gui Hua realize that Li De Ping was secretly monitoring her as well.
Upon returning home, Lin Xiao Tian opened his computer and again sought out the Heavenly Net to buy information.
The Heavenly Net charged regardless of whether any intelligence was obtained. Lin Xiao Tian spent another million, and as a result, a pile of information about various "Brother Kui" appeared, but clearly, none of them were related to his situation.
Spending a million for useless information, Lin Xiao Tian could only say that these intelligence agencies made money too easily.
However, if even the Heavenly Net couldn't find any information, it meant that this Brother Kui likely came from one of the reclusive families.
The Heavenly Net's reach did not extend to reclusive families. Coupled with the fact that this Brother Kui was targeting him, it was clear he could only be from a reclusive family.
Lin Xiao Tian calculated.
Since the Heavenly Net was unreliable, the only breakthrough would be Li De Ping.
Lin Xiao Tian understood Li De Ping well. This guy was fearful of trouble, but at the same time, he was extremely greedy.
Now that Lin Xiao Tian completely surpassed Li De Ping in strength, the only thing that could make Li De Ping stand in opposition to Lin Xiao Tian again would be even greater benefits.
For this benefit, Li De Ping dared to oppose Lin Xiao Tian!
But Li De Ping had miscalculated.
He didn't expect Lin Xiao Tian to already know about this.
Since Li De Ping was monitoring Lin Xiao Tian for personal gain, similarly, he would choose to help Lin Xiao Tian for personal gain.
If Li De Ping lost the opportunity to monitor Lin Xiao Tian, would Brother Kui still cooperate with Li De Ping?
Without Brother Kui's help, Li De Ping, to protect himself, would eventually have to side with Lin Xiao Tian.
Lin Xiao Tian quickly devised a plan.
Not long after, at Li De Ping's house.
"What? Divorce? Are you serious?" Li De Ping looked at Li Gui Hua in disbelief.
"Li De Ping, I've had enough of you. Let's get a divorce!"
Li De Ping gritted his teeth, "You're a good-for-nothing, Li Gui Hua. I've been so good to you."
"Heh, Li De Ping, you're good to me? Don't think I don't know what you've been up to. When you were weak, did I ever think of leaving you? You, on the other hand, betrayed me and slept with someone else!"
Hearing Li Gui Hua say this, Li De Ping was stunned.
"You... you're talking nonsense!"
"Heh! I'm talking nonsense? I saw it with my own eyes! Li De Ping, you were so impatient that you even brought her into our home. Do you really think I'm an idiot?"
"You..." Li De Ping became angry with shame, "Li Gui Hua, you're no saint either. Do you think I don't know about your affair with Lin Xiao Tian?"
"You cheated first! I've always given you a chance to change, but you never seized it. Three years, I've endured enough. I'm telling you, this divorce has to happen no matter what!"
Li De Ping knew he was in the wrong. To be honest, although Li Gui Hua had a bad temper, she had been very good to him. The position of village head in Jinsha Village was largely due to Li Gui Hua's family's connections.
Moreover, Li Gui Hua never caused him trouble, was diligent, and most importantly, knowing that Li De Ping was incapable, she never considered divorce and persisted for ten years. Now Li Gui Hua was almost forty, and her prime years had been spent on Li De Ping.
Perhaps, spoiled by his favoritism, Li De Ping had become accustomed to it. Seeing Li Gui Hua talk about divorce at this moment, all he felt was anger.
"If you dare to divorce me, everyone in the village will know about your business!"
