Chapter 368: Farewell Call
Chapter 368: Farewell Call
After Li Zhendong passed away, Li Mubai took full charge of all the affairs of the Li family. He was busier than before, with endless trivial matters and business to deal with every day.
Jiang Li couldn't help him at work, she could only accompany him quietly and avoid causing him trouble.
Time flies, and three months have passed quickly. During these three months, Li Mubai was always busy with work and meetings. Many times when he returned home, Jiang Li had already fallen asleep. But before going to bed every time, Jiang Li would write him a message. Sometimes it was an interesting thing that happened today, sometimes it was a painting to "cheer" him up, or just to make him smile.
Many nights, Li Mubai looked at Jiang Li's sleeping face, and a trace of guilt always surged in his heart. She traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and stepped through time and space to come here, but he could only be busy with the mundane affairs at hand. He just hoped that the work at hand could be finished as soon as possible, so that he could accompany her well.
After a lot of effort, Li Mubai finally had a few days of free time.
On this day, Jiang Li received a notice that she and Li Mubai would go to attend an important client's wedding and take a vacation. The wedding venue was chosen on the edge of a cliff.
The wedding was in western style, and the scene was beautifully decorated. A huge flower arch stood in front of the stage, with all kinds of beautiful flowers wrapped around it, emitting bursts of fragrance. The white carpet stretched from the entrance to the stage, and bright petals were scattered along the way, implying that the road to marriage is full of beauty and happiness. The stage was not used as a background, because the sea and sky were of their own color. Such a beautiful arrangement contrasted with the sunset on the cliff, which was beautiful beyond words.
There was also melodious music at the wedding, echoing in the air like the sound of nature. Everyone attending the wedding was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with sincere smiles on their faces. The ladies wore a variety of dresses, some elegant and generous, some sexy and charming; the men wore decent suits and looked elegant.
Jiang Li and Li Mubai were also dressed up. On this day, Li Mubai wore a black suit that was well-tailored, making him look even more handsome. Jiang Li wore a royal blue evening dress, the hem of her skirt swaying like the waves, and with a dazzling diamond necklace, she exuded a charming brilliance. Her hair was lightly tied up, and a few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks, adding a bit of softness.
Li Mubai hasn't been so relaxed for a long time.
Today was probably the day he was in the best mood in the past few months.
If I hadn’t met Yan Cheng suddenly.
Li Mubai felt that he was in a pretty good mood that day.
However, when he met Jiang Li, Yan Cheng was in an extremely good mood.
As soon as they saw Jiang Li, they started chatting enthusiastically.
Jiang Li also found out after a chat that the last time Yan Cheng was hospitalized, someone took advantage of his absence to seize his territory, which made him so angry that he was discharged early and went back to fight the same day. Therefore, he missed Jiang Li's love soup.
Meeting Yan Cheng was a surprise.
But what was even more unexpected was that Jiang Li and Li Mubai encountered an ambush! Jiang Li never expected that she almost lost her life just to attend the wedding. It was all her fault. If she hadn't wanted to go to a secluded place to see the scenery and take pictures, they wouldn't have encountered such a big danger.
Jiang Li had never expected that they had already been targeted by Zhang Ziliang's gang of bandits.
Yes, it’s the guy who robbed Wang’s gold shop.
Many famous people in Hong Kong will be present at this wedding.
They knew that Li Mubai was coming to the wedding, so they arrived early and ambushed in various corners of the mountain, ready to capture Jiang Li or Li Mubai, make a big profit and then retire.
So, when Jiang Li and Li Mubai walked to a place where there were few people, Zhang Ziliang's gang acted quickly. They first rushed to Jiang Li, trying to control the petite Jiang Li first. It is said that Jiang Li is the lifeline of Li Mubai. If she is captured, Li Mubai will be captured without any effort.
But...the bodyguards hired by Li Mubai were not vegetarians. The bodyguards who had been following not far away reacted quickly, pulled out their guns, and started a fierce fight with the other side.
They moved swiftly and decisively, quickly forming a protective circle that protected Jiang Li and Li Mubai in the middle.
The bandits were not vegetarians either. They used the surrounding terrain and obstacles to attack the bodyguards. For a moment, the sound of gunfire, shouting, and the whistling of bullets resounded throughout the valley.
As soon as the gunshots were heard, all the guests attending the wedding were scared away and no one dared to come to support.
Except Yan Cheng.
At the critical moment, it was Yan Cheng who came out to help.
This surprised Li Mubai and Jiang Li.
A man like Yan Cheng would naturally carry a gun when he went out. He took out the pistol from his pocket and shot several gangsters accurately with a few "bangs".
The fight was fierce. One of Li Mubai's bodyguards was shot and fell to the ground, but the other bodyguards did not back down. After all, they had received a lot of money from the Li family over the years. If they were injured, the care money would be enough for them to live a comfortable life in the next life. If they died, then... the pension would be enough for the next three generations to live a comfortable life.
So, of course they would not retreat. They fought bravely one by one, protecting Jiang Li and Li Mubai with their bodies and lives.
Although Jiang Li was nervous, she was not panicked because Li Mubai had been protecting her behind him.
Although Li Mubai was surrounded by the crowd, he did not relax his vigilance at all. He took the gun handed to him by the bodyguard, kept looking around, and even seized the opportunity to fire two shots.
The Li family bodyguards are well-trained, and they have Yan Cheng's help.
Soon, the group of bandits were driven away.
Flee in all directions.
After receiving the alarm, the police arrived at the scene quickly and collected various evidences.
Li Mubai stayed with Jiang Li all the time, holding her hand tightly.
Jiang Li listened to the conversation between Li Mubai and the police while looking at the blood-stained grass with lingering fear, her heart pounding. The thrilling scene just now kept flashing in her mind, and the fierce eyes and ferocious faces of those gangsters seemed to be still in front of her, making her feel a little scared.
If it weren't for the Li family's bodyguards who risked their lives to protect them, and if it weren't for Yan Cheng's help, he and Li Mubai might have fallen into Zhang Ziliang's hands now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Li's liking for Yan Cheng increased a little more.
Li Mubai is naturally the same.
After this experience of sharing life and death, the originally hostile relationship between Li Mubai and Yan Cheng turned into friends.
After everyone left the wedding, Li Mubai took the initiative to treat Yan Cheng to a meal.
Yan Cheng himself did not expect that there would be a day when he would sit down and have dinner with Li Mubai.
This……
The scene was so beautiful that he wouldn't even dare to think about it in his dreams.
But Yan Cheng was still happy that they could put aside their grudges with a smile.
After all, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
As night fell and three rounds of drinks passed, Yan Cheng's emotions became increasingly excited. His face flushed and his eyes were blurred. While hugging Li Mubai, he looked at Jiang Li and made a strong request - he wanted to take a photo with Li Mubai and Jiang Li to witness this precious friendship!
The corners of Jiang Li's mouth twitched, and she felt the call of parting.
