He took a needle jab.
In return, he got two "funeral gifts" from the most outstanding lady in Tiandong, possibly his first kiss, and was even fed for several minutes.
It must have been her first time too, right?
The crucial point was.
Li Qianfan knew she was indeed a lesbian—
No, that wasn't right.
He knew she was a hacker close to Lai Wo Six!!
And this seemingly docile silver ring snake was currently, with extreme caution, evading Jing Ran, the King of Hackers in the world.
"This time Aunt Ran comes to Tiandong, besides worrying about my marriage to Du Junlin, she should also be investigating Silver Ring Snake, right?"
Li Qianfan sat on his helmet, lit a cigarette, and began to carefully analyze the pros and cons.
What pros and cons?
It was definitely not the benefits he gained from taking a needle jab.
It was about considering whether or not to eliminate Bai Ziyan!
Being ambushed and not eliminating the perpetrator was not Li Qianfan's style.
"But my mom always said that because of Aunt Ran's selfishness, let alone in the East, there are hardly a few hackers in the world who are Lai Wo 5. If we can find and cultivate one Lai Wo 5 (explanation: Lai Wo is a hacker ranking, the highest is Lai Wo 6, with only a few people globally), it would be of great help to the East."
As Li Qianfan muttered to himself, he frowned.
This was precisely what made him hesitate about eliminating Bai Ziyan.
On one side was personal enmity, and on the other was a potential benefit to the East.
"If I had known she was a master hacker, I wouldn't have played games with her when she ambushed me; I would have just choked her to death."
Li Qianfan sighed in regret and took out his phone to call his mother.
"Rebellious son, what is it?"
"Rebellious son" was definitely Li Wujiang's indispensable opening when answering her son's call.
"Beautiful Wujiang, two things."
Li Qianfan was informal: "You need to hurry and come to Qingyun. But I have a condition."
What condition?
After listening to Li Qianfan's request, Li Wujiang was instantly furious!
The sound of a smashed teacup was clearly audible.
With a divine beast-like roar: "Rebellious son! You want me to play a beggar woman? One who was abandoned by your father, a resentful woman! How could I have given birth to a creature like you? To have your mother act as a resentful beggar and accuse your father of being a fugitive. You just wait, I'll come kill you with my own hands right now!"
Li Qianfan scratched his ear and held the phone half a meter away.
He said, "Come on, I'm waiting. Whoever doesn't come is a beggar woman who no man wants."
The gritting of teeth from the phone sounded bone-chilling.
Li Qianfan, however, was used to it.
The more Aunt Wujiang gritted her teeth, the safer Li Qianfan's backside was.
It was when she had the most standard motherly smile that Li Qianfan would be afraid.
As expected.
Li Wujiang said hatefully, "Just because you don't want your wife to feel the damned inferiority complex, you trample on my dignity. Fine, Li Qianfan, you just wait. We'll settle this score sooner or later."
Hearing this, Li Qianfan knew that Aunt Wujiang had to give in and obey.
This was like slapping her, wasn't it?
Then, of course, he had to give her a sweet date.
"Mom—"
"Don't call me Mom!"
"Sister Wujiang, I have something to tell you."
Li Qianfan changed his address smoothly and said, "Actually, your Great Master Qianfan was just buried alive and crawled out of the grave."
There was silence on the phone.
Li Qianfan plucked a blade of grass and put it in his mouth, humming "Chong Er Fei."
Li Wujiang finally spoke, "Who was it?"
Li Qianfan replied, "A very beautiful girl."
It took him a full twenty minutes to briefly recount how he met Bai Ziyan, how she ambushed him, and what she had said to him after ambushing him.
"Super hacker?"
When Li Wujiang spoke again, the joy surging in her voice was audible even to a deaf.
Li Qianfan knew then that he absolutely could not eliminate Bai Ziyan privately and avenge the humiliation of being ambushed.
"Son."
Li Wujiang's tone was very enthusiastic: "Take her down!"
Take her down?
What did that mean?
Li Qianfan, with his pure thoughts, genuinely didn't understand.
"Absolutely do not tell that Bai Ziyan to that White Jade Frog (Jing Ran)."
Li Wujiang said with an irrefutable tone, "First, find out if she was bragging. If she is truly a super hacker, then no matter what, you must take her down! This kind of peerless prodigy has no concept of national interest in their bones. To make her completely submit, you need the most powerful man. Haha, my precious son happens to be the most powerful in this era."
Li Qianfan felt embarrassed for Li Wujiang.
Boasting about oneself.
Li Qianfan could sacrifice personal grudges for the sake of the bigger picture.
But he would never use Li Wujiang's method to "excavate" Bai Ziyan. He said, "Sister Wujiang, I hope you understand that my love for your daughter-in-law is as clear as the heavens and the earth! Therefore, I will never do anything that betrays my wife."
"Stop the nonsense."
Li Wujiang said coldly, "If you haven't done anything to betray my daughter-in-law, why did you spend the night at Chu Yazhi's place last night?"
Li Qianfan was stunned and furious: "You sent people to spy on me?"
Li Wujiang sounded a little guilty: "I was concerned about you."
"You wait, I'll call Empress Dowager Xiao right now. She clearly stated that no one from the Li family can secretly monitor me."
Li Qianfan threatened and decisively ended the call.
Glancing at the sun in the west, Li Qianfan casually put the "funeral gifts" Bai Ziyan gave him into his pocket and walked out of the woods quickly.
This place was less than fifty kilometers from Qingyun.
After Li Qianfan called Mo Hongti, she drove over in just over half an hour.
Because Bai Ziyan's hacker identity was sensitive, Li Qianfan did not tell Mo Hongti about being buried alive by her.
He only said that his taxi had broken down when he arrived here.
In this place, far from any village, he had to trouble Sister Hongti to come over.
"Are you being polite with me for something like a kidney?"
Mo Hongti gave him a sideways glance and said coquettishly, "Isn't it normal for you to find me when something happens?"
She was secretly delighted.
Because of Lan Yunhai's actions in seizing Su Ziyu, Li Qianfan had been gradually trained to have the habit of "if something happens, find Mo Hongti."
He, however, was completely unaware of this.
"When I received your call, Grandmother had just finished checking Ziyu's injuries. Tsk tsk, her skin was so tender that it made me drool. I even wished I could be beaten all over by you and then treated by Grandmother."
Mo Hongti knew what Li Qianfan cared about most. Without waiting for him to ask, she proactively said it.
Although Li Qianfan knew very well that with his grandmother's medical skills, it would be a piece of cake to ensure Su Ziyu's complete recovery, he couldn't help but be happy when he heard Mo Hongti say this.
He casually said, "Don't talk nonsense. Why would I hurt you? It hurts too much."
Mo Hongti's eyes lit up instantly, and she opened her mouth to say, "How would you hurt me?"
As the words reached her lips, she closed them again.
Because she realized that Li Qianfan had no idea what he was saying.
In other words.
His saying that it hurt too much to hurt Mo Hongti was a pure psychological reaction.
This was enough to prove Mo Hongti's position in his heart.
If Mo Hongti had put the words on the table, it would not have been as good!
This intelligent woman immediately asked, "Little brother, are you going to act with Ziyu tonight?"
"Let's see the situation first. Try not to act as much as possible; I'm afraid it will hurt her."
Li Qianfan thought for a moment and said, "I need to have a good chat with Ziyu first and understand how she sees me. If she doesn't have that damned inferiority complex because of my changes, then there's no need to act. If acting is necessary, I'll notify you in advance."
"Okay."
Mo Hongti agreed readily, "I'll always be waiting for your call."
As they chatted and laughed, the car arrived at the residential complex where the Su family lived.
"I won't go in. Grandmother is staying with me, so you can be completely at ease."
Mo Hongti pulled the car over and said to Li Qianfan, "Little brother, if Ziyu's reaction is not right. Then you must stand from the perspective that compared to you, she is just an ordinary girl, and think about it more."
Her words were truly selfless, looking from Su Ziyu's perspective and subtly advising Li Qianfan.
"I know what to do."
Li Qianfan nodded. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he remembered something.
He opened his arms to Mo Hongti.
Mo Hongti's face instantly bloomed into a smile, and she leaned into his embrace, smelling sweet and delicate.
He hugged her gently and thanked her sincerely for the third time: "Sister Hongti, thank you."
This time.
Mo Hongti didn't say anything polite like "you're welcome." Instead, she opened her mouth and bit him lightly on the chest.
"Tell Zhang Bao that I will visit him in the future."
Li Qianfan opened the door and got out of the car.
Zhang Bao was injured because he was rescuing Su Ziyu.
Li Qianfan couldn't assume that because he was Mo Hongti's bodyguard, his injury while rescuing Su Ziyu was a matter of course.
"Little brother, you have no idea. You are earnestly loyal to love, yet unconsciously promiscuous. What woman can escape the web of love you unintentionally weave? Sigh. Anyway, I'm caught in this web."
After watching Li Qianfan's back disappear from sight, Mo Hongti sighed softly and started the car.
A few minutes later.
Thinking of seeing Su Ziyu, whom he had "not seen for days," Li Qianfan, standing at the entrance of the Su family's house, felt a little excited.
He took out his key and opened the door.
It was not yet dark.
Old Su and Ning Xiaolan, who had both gone to work, had not yet returned home from work.
The living room was empty, with a faint scent of traditional Chinese medicine lingering in the air.
The door to the second bedroom was ajar.
Li Qianfan tiptoed to the doorway and gently pushed the door open with his toe.
The door opened silently.
Li Qianfan saw Su Ziyu.
Wearing a white tank top and black shorts, Su Ziyu was sitting on a lounge chair on the balcony, hugging her knees with both hands, gazing out the window.
She knew Li Qianfan would be home today.
The man she loved most and the only man she loved (excluding Old Su) was about to return.
She was very excited.
But why couldn't she feel excited, and instead felt an inexplicable irritability?
It was definitely not because she heard a woman's cry when she called him.
Definitely not!
Because it was something she had repeatedly asked Li Qianfan to do in her suicide note.
Nor was it because Li Qianfan's background might be greater than she could have ever dreamed of, making her involuntarily feel "I might not be worthy of him" with inferiority.
Absolutely not!!
So what was it?
Su Ziyu didn't know.
Therefore, she was confused.
Her bare feet, side by side, kept stepping on each other.
A hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.
Bang!
Su Ziyu's heart leaped, her delicate body trembled violently, and she turned around abruptly.
She saw the face that had been deeply imprinted on the deepest recesses of her soul.
"Wife."
Li Qianfan looked down at her and said softly, "I'm back."
