After ending the call, Pei Xin's car went around the roundabout and entered another road with sparse traffic, speeding along.
After he ordered Zheng Guang to pick up Li Wenyu, the phone that was thrown on the center console vibrated again. It was an unknown call.
Pei Xin raised his eyes, looked slightly slanted, and answered the phone.
The window was half open, and the cold wind filled the car, but the voice from the other end was still clear and unhurried: "Hello, Mr. Pei, I am Ji He."
Pei Xin's eyes instantly cooled down as he stared straight ahead, and his tone It was not strong, but full of coercion: "What do you want to do?"
Ji He said every word on the other end, as if he was afraid that Pei Xin couldn't hear every word: "I want money, Li Wenyu should have told you this No, he didn't. I can only ask Mr. Pei for help."
Pei Xin didn't slow down. The street lights and tree shadows outside the car window quickly receded. He sneered with great irony: "You took my money, but you have to spend it. "Is it?"
Ji He was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Whether there is a life flower or not is my business, but Mr. Pei, if you don't give me what I want now, I may not be the one who will die." "
Pei Xin has never been threatened so openly. The knuckles holding the steering wheel are white and the veins are bulging. His voice is as cold as ice: "How much do you want?"
"Mr. Pei," Ji He's voice said. It came along the wind, mixed with a little rustling sound, "I think you may have misunderstood me. I didn't want to threaten you with grandma's body, but I took her out of the hospital for ventilation today, but grandma mentioned it "As for you and Li Wenyu, ask me what your relationship is."
"You also know that grandma has a bad heart and can't stand any stimulation. You and Li Wenyu-" Ji He paused slowly, seeming to be confused. Carefully choose your words, "How can I tell the truth since I can't see people? Therefore, the person who threatens grandma's health is not me, but Li Wenyu himself. In addition, there is another thing about Li Wen Regarding Yu, I have been looking for an opportunity to tell you, should we sit down face to face to discuss the combined price?"
Pei Xin's face was full of anger and irritation, and he stepped on the brakes and stopped the car. He walked to the door of the Public Security Bureau and said with a sneer: "Face to face?"
After the car stopped, the surroundings became quiet for an instant, and even the radio sound of the mobile phone was very clear: "Yes, I have to trouble Mr. Pei to take time out of his busy schedule. I I will send you the address. You must come here by yourself. If you bring the police or others, I may not be able to control my mouth. If grandma suddenly becomes ill and cannot be treated in the wilderness, the consequences will be disastrous. "
If Ji He hadn't been so anxious, he would never have thought of threatening grandma. If you want to meet, you just need to ask the lion to open his mouth. Pei Xin glanced coldly at the light at the door of the Public Security Bureau, his eyes casting a deep chill. In less than two seconds, a text message popped up on the notification bar of his phone, with a detailed list of addresses written on it.
He glanced around and saw that it was a very remote suburb. It was originally included in the demolition process for the expansion of the new city in the early years. However, due to poor geological conditions, the demolition funds could not be finalized and the demolition funds were set aside. It remained abandoned for several years and was never touched again.
"Mr. Pei," Ji He smiled attentively, as if he was afraid of irritating Pei Xin, so he spoke politely, "I'm waiting for you here with my grandma."
After saying the last sentence, he immediately hung up the phone.
Pei Xin lit a cigarette with an expressionless expression. He took a breath, and the blue-gray smoke lingered and was quickly blown away by the night wind.
Ji He obviously knew what Li Wenyu was most afraid of, and Pei Xin knew it clearly.
Otherwise, he would not have paid to take care of his grandma during those five years, and he would not have spared time to go to the hospital and pretend to be a good person during the limited time he returned to China several times.
By pinching grandma, she also grabbed the thread on Li Wenyu's body.
If something happens to grandma, or if he learns about what happened between them, Li Wenyu will have no scruples and will do everything possible to leave him even if there is only a chance.
If Li Wenyu knew that his grandma was affected by the incident between the two of them, he would not forgive him and would feel guilty and self-blame.
Therefore, he had to resolve this matter completely before Li Wenyu knew about it.
Pei Xin frowned and put out the cigarette, casually twirled his fingers, restarted the car and sped towards the address on his phone.
The suburbs are remote and the drive takes nearly half an hour.
When Pei Xin stopped the car, it was almost impossible to see his fingers on the road. The chirping of cicadas was rampant. The path ahead was blocked by wildly colliding trees on both sides. The dark tree shadows were swaying, and there were only a few dilapidated buildings in the distance. There are still a few weak lights in the low building.
Ji He went to great lengths to hide in such a place, which is indeed difficult to find.
Pei Xin kicked away the stones blocking the road under his feet and walked towards the lighted place. The road was very deep, and after walking for several minutes with one foot deep and one foot shallow, Pei Xin almost exhausted all his patience before he finally reached the building written in Ji He's address.
The narrow corridor was pitch dark, the air seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dust, and it was so quiet that it didn't look like there was anyone there.
Pei Xinsan stepped up to the second floor in two steps. Through the moonlight at the end of the corridor, he saw a mess of debris piled in front of the door of a room, all of which were construction waste materials. The dilapidated wooden door was wide open.
Pei Xin strode over, picked up a thin iron rod from the pile of debris, and found the light switch against the wall. After two "ZiZi" sounds, dim lights came on in the room, but at the same time, the squeaking ceiling fan hanging on the ceiling was also activated. It was so old that it seemed like it would fall down at any time.
There was still a thick dusty atmosphere all around, and the feet were covered with messy debris, as if the family had been ransacked before moving away.
Pei Xin narrowed his eyes, did not move forward, and said in a deep voice: "Ji He, come out."
The voice echoed in the room, but no one responded for a while.
Pei Xin kicked aside the obstacles on the ground and walked inside. He entered another room from the living room. It was not big. A wooden bed and wooden cabinets were almost visible at a glance.
He stood by the bed and was very alert when he heard the "dong dong" footsteps behind him.
Turning around, Ji He was indeed standing in the middle of the originally empty living room. His face was gray, his lips were blue, and he was obviously not in good spirits, but he was in a good mood, and his enthusiastic and excited smile looked a little strange on his gray and defeated face.
Seeing Pei Xin turn his head, he also stopped and said with a smile: "Mr. Pei is finally here."
Pei Xin's originally impatient and gloomy face became more fierce, and he took a few steps forward: "Where is grandma?" ?" Ji
He suddenly stretched out his hand, a little panicked: "Wait a minute! Mr. Pei, are you trying to kill me now with this thing in your hand? If you touch me now, you won't be able to find where my grandma is!"
The dim yellow light inside casts down Pei Xin's tall figure. The iron rod he is holding is covered with particles of dust, and his hands are also stained with ash. The whole body is covered with a terrifying layer. Shocked and angry: "I ask where your grandma is?"
When Ji He saw him stop, he breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the window with a burnt-yellow finger: "Downstairs."
Pei Xinxin tightened his heart and looked outside. The light was on in the bungalow behind the building, and the signboard couldn't be seen clearly, but it seemed vaguely like a small clinic.
Ji He then said: "Mr. Pei, can we talk about money now? How much money are you going to spend to silence me?"
