C40 (1/2)
It was actually Yin Ning! You can't fight with her here. This was Hao Qiang's first thought.
Turning his head to the side, he looked at Lei Li, who was standing at the side. Hao Qiang gave him a look, Lei Li looked over with doubt, then his eyes immediately widened.
This woman was really haunting!
Riley stepped quietly back into the crowd.
On the other side, Yin Ning seemed to know that the other party had discovered her, and she immediately turned back and ran outside. Seeing this, Lei Li immediately chased after him.
Hao Qiang …
He just wanted to let Lei Li have a look, that's all. He didn't tell him to chase after him, so why was he so excited?
This fellow must be hiding something from him. It seemed that it was necessary to interrogate him. Hao Qiang decided on the inside.
When Lei Li returned to the show that night, Hao Qiang immediately knocked on his room door.
When Lei Li saw that it was him that openly let him in, he just didn't expect that Hao Qiang would directly grab his clothes and throw him onto the sofa.
Lei Li was stunned, ”What are you doing?”
Hao Qiang placed one foot on the sofa: ”Tell me honestly. What did you hide from me?”
Lei Li's eyes swept left and right, ”What else can I hide from you?”
Hao Qiang sneered, ”We have been partners together for so many years, how could I not understand you? Just from that guilty look, tell me, what did you hide from me? Perhaps if I'm in a good mood, I can leave you an intact corpse. ”
”Qiang Zi, don't say that. We have been brothers for so many years. What do you mean leaving an intact corpse? I'm afraid.” Lei Li stiffly smiled.
”From the looks of it, you don't intend to say it?” Hao Qiang squinted his eyes as if he suddenly thought of something, ”I can see that you look pretty decent. Say, if I cripple your ability and sell you to Niu Lang's Shop, you might be able to earn some money.”
”Can't you sell it to a duck shop? ”Please respect my sexual orientation!” When it came to principles, Lei Li could not care about how his current situation was disadvantageous to him, and protested.
”That would be too easy for you.” Hao Qiang replied angrily, ”I'm not talking to you anymore. Hurry up and tell me the truth.”
Knowing that the other party was truly enraged, Lei Li did not continue to chat with Hao Qiang. Instead, he sighed.
”Actually, I accepted a task for you to take part in the movie 'Starway'. You know that previously, you were still leisurely working as your celebrity, but the income is not enough for us to live on.”
”What mission?” Hao Qiang narrowed his eyes.
”That's …” Lei Li paused before continuing, ”To protect Qi Mengxi. ”Someone is trying to assassinate her.”
”I've said it before, I won't take another mission. Why would you do that?” Hao Qiang gritted his teeth and asked.
”I know, but do you know who tried to assassinate Qi Mengxi?” Lei Li replied, ”They are the same people who destroyed the [Dynasty] back then.”
”So what? ”My companions have already told me not to seek revenge, and I have also promised them.” Hao Qiang roared. When he thought of what happened that year again, the wound in his heart was torn apart once more. What surprised him the most was that Lei Li, who had been living with him all this while, had actually stealthily lured him onto this path once again.
”You promised them, but not me! ”You can forget the past and pretend not to care, but I can't!” Lei Li replied impolitely.
”Don't you want to know who did it? Don't you want to take revenge for them? ”Back then, we grew up together in the [Dynasty], eating the same rice and sleeping in the same bed. Are you really willing to let them die in vain?”
Hao Qiang looked at Lei Li as if he was meeting this person for the first time. All along, he thought Lei Li was the same as him. Unexpectedly, he was the only one who could do it.
He really did not think about taking revenge for his former comrades. But when he didn't want to, his life was like a boat without a lighthouse. There was never any direction of life, just like duckweed, living under this era, doing things based on interest, disregarding everything else. He had always been deceiving himself, deceiving himself that his current life was very good, having a career, a lover, a friend, everything that he should have in his life, there was nothing to regret about it.
But when Lei Li clearly displayed the words ”revenge” in front of him, he had no choice but to admit that he instantly found his pillar of support.
But this is wrong. If a vow could be easily broken, what else could be trusted?
”Are you still going to lie to yourself, Hao Qiang?” Lei Li coldly said. This was the first time he used such a tone to speak to Hao Qiang. ”You want revenge, for your former comrades.”
”Don't say anymore, calm me down.” Struggling to get over the sofa, Hao Qiang opened the door and quickly disappeared into the night.
This night was too chaotic, but his heart was even more confused. He had to be quiet.
Lei Li looked outside the door for a long time before he sat back down on the sofa. He didn't know if he had done anything wrong this time, but his desire to avenge his fallen comrades would not change.
A sleepless night.
