Chapter 276 Handsome, That’s Not How You Play It

(Today you didn’t see any news about the Hainan Airlines flight from Shenzhen to Qingdao, stopping at Ningbo. The debtor arrived safely.)

But due to Li Yan’s momentary compassion, thinking that living in this city, there was no need to be so ruthless and be suspected or investigated. So he didn’t take out Liu Yunyun, who worked for Liu Yuyang, nor did he let Xie Xuanji eliminate those two assassins. As a former Anxin employee, Liu Yunyun might be discovered and investigated, and that would be a flaw, a breakthrough!

As long as Liu Yunyun confessed everything Liu Yuyang had her do, and then revealed the truth about Sun Hui’s car accident, Li Yan wouldn’t be able to extricate himself from this.

Thinking about this, Li Yan chuckled bitterly to himself. He had just told Xie Xuanji to act with discretion, and it seemed he had softened his heart after living in the city too long. As an assassin, eliminating potentially deadly threats should be the right path!

However, even if Liu Yunyun could confess everything, he wasn’t afraid. If the Liu family wanted to investigate clearly and solve it privately, it would be even easier, and he wouldn’t even need to personally step in.

After the car started, a few people who were watching Li Yan from nearby also got into the cars following closely and left the cinema together.

Although Yu Xiaodi hung up the phone, she still watched through the glass window, observing the situation here. She saw Li Yan get into a car with that person, followed by several cars leaving. This made her feel a bit uneasy, suspecting that something might be wrong.

But she also understood that even if Li Yan really encountered trouble, he would handle it himself. If she followed, she would only cause more trouble for him! And when he said a moment ago to call him back in ten minutes, if he didn’t call, she should head back, probably that’s what he meant?

Holding her phone, she quickly browsed through her contacts to see if there was someone who could help. Without concrete evidence or a clear situation, it was inconvenient to ask her parents for help. If it was a matter of fighting or something, having Zhou Yunfei bring a few people over was okay, but if it was a mistake, wouldn’t Zhou Yunfei and the others feel toyed with? And wouldn’t it be embarrassing for Li Yan?

While flipping through, she saw a more suitable number.

Li Jie!

Li Jie, who had protected her during a previous dangerous time, she had experienced his skills firsthand. Although he might not rival Li Yan, his comprehensive abilities were excellent. Most importantly, he was someone Li Yan knew well enough, and if something happened, he could help. If not, they could say they were just out shopping together, and Li Jie was quite amiable.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaodi wanted to call Li Jie, but watching the car drive away, she quickly settled the bill and drove to follow them.

...

Leaving aside Yu Xiaodi’s frantic attempts to help, once Li Yan got in, he just coolly sat beside the muscular man who invited him without initiating a conversation.

"Buddy, I’ve been cooperating with you guys so far. Can you tell me where we’re going and what you want me to do? I’m not just idling around. While it’s not like I’m making tens of thousands per second, my time is valuable, and I have a few appointments," Li Yan broke the silence.

The driver focused on driving, while the muscular man beside him impatiently said, "You’ll know when we get there! As if your time is so valuable—just a movie, how much could it be worth?"

"How much could it be worth? Pretty bold words! Is your boss really wealthy? But that doesn’t mean you’re rich! That has nothing to do with me, and right now you’re wasting my time."

The muscular man just let out a cold grunt, showing no intention of continuing the conversation with Li Yan.

"I suppose... you’re not planning to kidnap me for ransom, are you?" Li Yan continued babbling, testing how long this man’s patience would last.

But the man only showed a hint of disdain, without responding.

Li Yan stopped there, saying no more, even closing his eyes to relax. This sudden change in attitude made the man observe him more closely, but he didn’t say anything further.

After about ten minutes on the road, Li Yan took out his phone and sent a short message to Yu Xiaodi, telling her to head back and meet him later. He knew Xiaodi’s character; even if she agreed, she’d wait there.

After sending the message, he glanced outside to gauge their whereabouts. It didn’t seem like they were heading towards Liu Yuyang’s place.

"How much longer?" Li Yan asked with a hint of impatience. Staying low-key was necessary, but he didn’t want to bury his head in the sand.

The muscular man heard Li Yan’s impatience, turned to the driver and asked, "How much longer?"

"Almost there, we’ll arrive soon!" the driver replied, quickening the pace a bit.

The muscular man didn’t respond to Li Yan, watching the road ahead coolly.

Seeing his arrogant demeanor, Li Yan imagined grabbing him by the neck and sticking his head out of the window, curious what his reaction would be.

But since they were nearly there, Li Yan didn’t bother arguing with him.

Three minutes later.

Several cars drove into a hotel parking lot in succession.

They weren’t headed for the Liu residence, not some remote location, but rather a five-star hotel, surprising Li Yan. Moreover, it wasn’t the hotel where he had previously encountered Liu Yuyang and his group.
