Chapter 936: Chapter 928: Deep Despair

Carefully thinking back, apart from those major events like work, marriage, and having children, he couldn’t recall what he had actually done in these sixty-plus years. He couldn’t say it; so much time just slipped away for no reason.

Time cannot be calculated carefully, the more you calculate, the more frightening it becomes. It’s like the money you spend; every time you feel like you didn’t buy much, but a lot of money is still spent. When you calculate again, the items bought don’t match up with the money spent. noveldrama

Director Qian felt he should retire. In a person’s lifetime, it can’t just be about work. At his age now, he has long exceeded the legal retirement age set by the country. Moreover, he doesn’t lack anything now; at this level of social status, it’s already very good. Money is certainly not lacking; their retirement pension alone is enough for the couple, let alone the money saved from half a working lifetime.

Their only daughter, Huanhuan, now also has a stable job; the only thing missing is a suitable boyfriend. But now, since Huanhuan isn’t that old, letting her have a few more years of freedom is fine too. Director Qian recently gained a lot of insight because no one spoke to him, and there was nothing entertaining to do.

So he slept when he was tired and sat up talking to himself when he woke, beginning to ponder some questions he’d never thought of before, about death, about life. He felt he was about to become enlightened if he continued like this, understanding the various aspects of the human world.

Finally, the court day arrived; after waiting for so many days, it was finally here. First, the plaintiff’s lawyer, representing Qian Huahua, spoke.

"Today we are definitely going to lose the case, but don’t be too upset. We will definitely have more opportunities later; at worst, we’ll keep appealing until we get the result we want. Anyway, Xiao Yifei has earned enough money to fight several lawsuits." Ren Xingyu comforted Tang Rong.

But Tang Rong seemed as if she hadn’t heard anything, she couldn’t forget Xiao Yifei’s gaze just now — it was deep despair. She didn’t understand why fate was so unfair to a good person, making him suffer such hardships, while bad people lived comfortably.

Xiao Yifei was released from the Police Department without any trouble. He felt that his life in the past few years was like filming a movie, with all kinds of bizarre things happening to him. Perhaps it really was just bad luck. Tang Rong was right; he should travel around in the coming days, picking up some good luck from elsewhere.

Xiao Yifei also roughly knew about Liu Rui’s true identity from Tang Rong. When he first heard about it, he thought his ears had deceived him. He couldn’t imagine that Liu Rui’s hidden identity would be so formidable.

Although he already knew from the first time he met Liu Rui that this person was definitely not simple, nevertheless, an identity like an underworld boss was still very distant for Xiao Yifei. He had mostly only seen those underworld characters in movies and TV shows.

In the movies, underworld characters always wear sunglasses with a big golden chain around their necks, fearing that others wouldn’t recognize them. So, no matter how he looked at Liu Rui, he couldn’t associate him with the underworld, except for that aura of unapproachability and coldness that somewhat fit.

Then Xiao Yifei thought of a very important question: Does Hu Jingtang know Liu Rui’s true identity? Judging from what Hu Jingtang told him, he certainly doesn’t know. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said things like, ’Please take care of Liu Rui in the future!’

With Liu Rui’s current identity, who would need him to take care of? People like that, it’s better to stay as far away as possible. If he accidentally says the wrong thing, Liu Rui might send his lackeys to cause trouble. Xiao Yifei thought that he probably couldn’t fulfill Hu Lao’s request, hoping Hu Lao would understand him.

Just a few days after Xiao Yifei was released from the Police Department and before he got to enjoy some peaceful days, he received a call from Liu Rui. He initially saw it was an unfamiliar number, and he usually didn’t answer such nuisance calls. Anyway, if the caller really had something important, they wouldn’t just make one call. As he was thinking this, the first call ended, and then a second call immediately came. Only then did Xiao Yifei answer. Once he picked up the call, he felt a murderous atmosphere because it was Liu Rui on the other end.

"I’m Liu Rui. When are you available? We need to meet." Liu Rui’s voice was as emotionless as ever.

Every person’s voice is very distinctive, like Xiao Yifei’s, which is somewhat deep but makes people feel warm when they hear it. Just hearing his voice would make people think he must be a very warm person. Tang Rong’s voice is very deceiving; just by hearing her voice, others would think she should be a gentle and delicate southern girl, but she isn’t at all.

And Liu Rui’s voice truly had no emotional color. How to say it, it’s like when you throw a stone into a lake, the stone only creates slight ripples upon hitting the water, and then quickly sinks to the bottom. Liu Rui gives the same feeling.

His joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness are deeply hidden. What ordinary people can see is just the calm surface of the lake, absolutely unable to guess what his inner world is like. So, this unexpected phone call startled Xiao Yifei. He couldn’t guess Liu Rui’s real purpose in looking for him.

So Xiao Yifei wisely said, "How about the afternoon two days later? That’s the only time I’m free." Even though Xiao Yifei was very nervous, he couldn’t show it in his manner; he couldn’t let Liu Rui detect his nervousness.

Meeting two days later would also give Xiao Yifei time to prepare mentally and to learn more about Liu Rui, although he understood he couldn’t learn more about Liu Rui. Even Liu Rui’s twin sister didn’t know his real situation, so where could he find out?

"I can’t wait that long. I know you’re free after nine tonight. I’ll pick you up at the hospital at 9:40." Liu Rui commanded directly.

"I..." Xiao Yifei hadn’t had the chance to say what he wanted before the other party hung up. This is really a formidable character; how come he even knows when he’s free so clearly? Could it be that he sent someone to monitor him, Xiao Yifei thought. It really is terrifying that he has unknowingly gotten entangled with underworld people. He didn’t know whether he should consider himself lucky or unlucky.

Xiao Yifei hung up the phone, still recovering from it. He couldn’t figure out why Liu Rui wanted to see him. The two of them had no connection in life. Unable to think it through, Xiao Yifei decided not to dwell on it. Anyway, there should be no life-threatening danger; at the very least, he had some rapport with Hu Lao, so Liu Rui probably wouldn’t do anything to him easily.

Thinking like this, Xiao Yifei felt there was nothing to worry about. However, Director Qian was still missing. It was said that the police were already involved, yet the situation didn’t seem optimistic, as there were no leads. He had actually guessed that Director Qian was surely in Liu Rui’s hands, so there was nothing to worry about, as long as there was no life-threatening danger, it was alright.
