Chapter 55 - 55: Li Ze’s Protection
However, he still had a bad feeling about Li Ze.
Before hanging up, Li Ze asked Ling Jin for his bank card and said that he wanted to transfer money to Ling Jin.
Ling Jin instinctively refused, but Li Ze said that the money was for Ling Lin. He had not fulfilled his responsibility as a father all these years and could not bear to see him lose out on more. He wanted to give Ling Jin some money so that Ling Lin could have the best conditions.
Ling Jin thought about it and agreed that it made sense. Ling Lin was Li Ze’s son, so it was only right for a son to accept his father’s money.
“Your living conditions aren’t very good right now,” Li Ze reminded Ling Jin. “It’s better for a child to live in a place with more sunlight. After I transfer the money to you, you can move out with Ling Lin and live in a better neighborhood. There are security guards in the high-end residential area. Even Lu Li and the others won’t be able to take Ling Lin away so easily.”
Ling Jin nodded and accepted Li Ze’s suggestion.
If they lived in a high-class neighborhood, Lu Li’s men wouldn’t get past the first gate.
Thinking of this, Ling Jin agreed that it was time to move.
After hanging up the phone, Pei Xin felt a wave of complicated emotions rush past her.
Li Ze fiddled with his phone and quickly transferred 500,000 dollars to Ling Jin.
Pei Xin didn’t know that Li Ze’s first offer was such a large sum.
She still wanted to work hard and achieve something so that Ling Lin could be proud of her.
On the other hand, Lu Li was going crazy.
He searched for Pei Xin’s whereabouts in every corner and never had a chance to relax,
There were no traces of Pei Xin getting on a plane.
Even Lu Huai was investigating this matter.
No matter how they searched, they could not find any trace of Pei Xin.
Lu Li couldn’t take it anymore. He went to Ling Jin’s house the next day.
Ling Jin looked at the bodyguards and luxury cars at the door and his face immediately turned cold.
“What do you want?” He shielded Ling Lin behind him and glared at them unhappily.
While he was being questioned, Ling Jin immediately dialed an emergency number.
Annie had already communicated with him that if Lu Li came looking for trouble, he should call her directly. Thus, he set Annie as his emergency contact very early on.
Lu Li got out of the car. He stared at Ling Jin with bloodshot eyes. “Tell me, where did Pei Xin go?”
“Why should 1 tell you where my sister is going?” Ling Jin sneered. “What my sister owes you has already been paid off. How much more do you want to take revenge on her? Do you have to kill my sister before you’re willing to let it go?”
Lu Li clenched his fists and said, “Tell me where Pei Xin is. Otherwise, 1 won’t let you go. Don’t even think about leaving.”
At this moment, Ling Lin also stood out from behind Ling Jin. Although there were traces of fear in his eyes, they were filled with determination.
“My mother hates you,” Ling Lin said angrily. “I hate you too. You’ve hurt my mother and me. Aunt Annie said that everything you did to me before was illegal. I’m going to get the police to arrest you!”
Lu Li was so angry that he laughed. He glared at Ling Lin and said, “You’re just a b*stard who doesn’t even know who your biological father is. How dare you talk to me like this? Even if I kill you, what are you going to do about it?”
Just as Lu Li was about to take Lu Lin away by force, a voice came from behind him.
“Lu Li, when are you going to stop fooling around?”
Lu Li straightened his back. He turned around stiffly and saw his brother, Lu Huai, staring back.
Lu Li immediately lost his arrogant appearance. He looked at Lu Huai in fear and asked, “H-hey why are you here? This place is too dirty for you.”
Lu Huai smirked coldly. “Why are you here? What do you think I’m here for? You broke into Lu Lin’s house without permission and forcefully abducted him. You even made Sun Che beat Ling Lin up. You’ve violated the law. If it wasn’t for Father’s help, you would have been in prison now. If this matter gets blown up, it will affect the Lu family’s shares. Grandfather worked hard to build up the family business. 1 won’t let you waste it like this.”
Ling Jin looked at the scene coldly.
He didn’t think that Lu Huai was here to fight for them. Instead, he felt that Lu Huai was here to control Lu Li..
