So old Pete felt a bit angry that he had been threatened by such a coward.
I couldn't even say no, and I felt incredibly miserable.
“Once we arrive at the destination, you will naturally have the opportunity to speak.”
After he finished speaking, they shut him up, since there was no point in saying anything more to this kind of person.
Instead, he only offended his own ears. Xu Lei glanced at his watch as he sat in the coffee shop, realizing that it was almost time...
Xu Lei knew that everything could be easily resolved at this point, and he no longer needed to hold on desperately.
"Didn't you want revenge? Why don't you go and check on your boss?"
Hong Xinxin felt somewhat resistant at this moment.
But for some reason, I found myself following Xu Lei there.
Because he knew that deep down he still hated old Pete, who never asked about his own preferences before sending him down this path.
Deep down, I still had a little bit of resentment.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it's inevitable that people will vent all their anger on him alone.
Chapter 488 There are no moral shackles
"In my opinion, you don't need to have such a heavy moral burden."
Xu Lei looked at him with a helpless expression, feeling that this little girl had too many secrets in her heart.
I always put myself in a very passive position.
"Moral burden?"
Xu Lei looked at her helplessly, feeling that this girl had too many secrets in her heart, always putting him in a very passive position.
Hong Xinxin is still stubbornly defending herself.
Xu Lei felt somewhat helpless.
"I don't have many other skills, but I can tell what kind of person someone is without knowing them."
"So you don't need to be so cautious in front of me. Actually, I knew you were a kind-hearted girl the moment I saw you for the first time."
Upon hearing Xu Lei's words, the other person felt a touch of emotion, as no one had ever described her as a good girl before.
"You don't need to say that to me, I'm not worthy at all."
Hong Xinxin is very sensible and has never wanted to use this identity to define herself.
Moreover, he knew exactly how dangerous and worrying everything was, and he didn't want to end up like everyone else at this critical juncture.
First, they risked their own lives.
“You’re just too cautious (bhbj), but that’s a good thing, the world is so dangerous these days.”
Xu Lei was still very gentlemanly at this moment, driving along and singing a little tune, feeling quite relaxed and at ease.
It didn't seem like they were going to have a life-or-death battle with old Pete at all.
"I'm a little curious..."
Seeing his relaxed and carefree expression, Hong Xinxin couldn't help but ask him how he maintained such a good mood every day.
It even makes people feel somewhat helpless.
Are you wondering why I'm so happy?
"It's as if they're heartless."
"Actually, this kind of thing is easy to understand."
Xu Lei didn't care at all what the other person thought; instead, he kept trying to answer.
They even felt that doing so was the mark of a true gentleman, not forcing himself to keep the matter completely to himself, but saying what he meant, which was the best approach.
"I knew you were capable the moment I saw you."
"The more I hide things from you in this matter, the more resistant you will become to me."
"Since that's the case, let's be honest with each other. The first time I saw you, I knew you were not such a simple and stubborn girl."
"That's why I'm willing to place my bet on you, because I value your tenacity."
Xu Lei's tone suddenly became so serious and earnest that Hong Xinxin felt somewhat uncomfortable.
"You usually seem so carefree and unserious, so it's a bit strange to hear you say these things all of a sudden."
Upon hearing this, Xu Lei reverted to his usual nonchalant expression.
"I've only been acting for a little while and you already believed me? Looks like you're not as amazing as I thought. I thought you were some kind of expert."
After saying that, he just laughed heartily, but his laughter was exceptionally pure and pleasant.
The two finally opened their hearts to each other, without so many hidden agendas.
All those previous things can be easily changed.
This is still a place where he can completely change his mind.
Chapter 489 Shining Brightly
So as long as they continue at this pace, they will definitely get better and better.
It can even drive all the goals and brilliance in one's hands.
"That's right."
"You should smile more. You actually look quite good when you smile. Why do you always look so cool?"
Hong Xinxin heard Xu Lei suddenly start teasing her again.
He immediately composed himself, and Xu Lei could only sigh helplessly at his reaction.
"You still need some time to adjust, but I believe you'll adapt to your new identity soon."
The moment Xu Lei and Hong Xinxin were joking around had already arrived; Xiao Qiang had already sent people to surround the place completely.
No one would come here easily. Upon seeing the boss arrive, Xiao Qiang hurriedly went to greet him.
"Boss, everything inside has been taken care of, except that old Pete was a bit disobedient, so we beat him up a couple of times."
"He's resting inside with his eyes closed right now, and Gao Qi-qiang is inside too."
Xu Lei listened to the general situation and learned that Hong Xinxin seemed to have stopped at the door and didn't want to go any further.
"What's wrong? Seeing your former employer means you don't want to go back."
Hong Xinxin took a deep breath, trying to regulate her breathing.
It's as if they're saying goodbye to the past and the future, or as if they've truly made up their minds to hold onto this position.
"Don't be so nervous. You're making me nervous too. It's just talking to the other person..."
Why make it so serious?
Xu Lei habitually thinks of everything in a very simple way.
At least in his view, this matter was not that difficult, and there was no need to push everyone to this point.
"I admire how simple you always think about things. I really don't have your good mood."
Sometimes, Hung Sin-yan couldn't help but admire Xu Lei's carefree nature, wondering who he took after.
Moreover, with such a frank personality, Hung Sin-yan doesn't know how he could be the same as the rumors circulating outside.
"Everyone says you're a peerless villain and a business genius, with extremely ruthless methods in doing business. But now I don't see that at all."
"It doesn't even have the slightest connection to the word 'madman'."
Xu Lei had no idea whether he was praising him or insulting him.
He was very happy to hear that Hung Sin-sin was willing to communicate with him.
"The rumors about me are so bizarre, so why weren't you afraid of me at all when we first met?"
· ······Requesting flowers· ········
Xu Lei continued speaking in a nonchalant manner, with a slight smile in his eyes.
He never thought he could have anything to do with this, but he easily talked to him about Xu Lei's series of actions.
This surprised the other party, who felt that he was really different from the rumors, which further stirred their thoughts and feelings.
.... ......... .......
"Don't worry, Old Pete is behaving himself inside, and I won't take his life this time, so I certainly won't put you in a difficult position. If you really don't want to go in, then wait here with them and keep watch..."
Xu Lei had no intention of making things difficult for the other party in this matter, so he offered two options, letting the other party choose freely without any difficulty.
Moreover, all the preparations were made so that the other party could understand my intentions, and I certainly did not intend to use this matter to blackmail or show off.
Old Pete had already silently opened his eyes, and especially after hearing the door open, he knew that his real opponent had arrived.
"I never expected you would actually dare to show your face in front of me."
Chapter 490 A cornered beast fights on.
Upon seeing Old Pete, Xu Lei was somewhat shocked, after all, just the day before, Old Pete had been swaggering around with him, looking like he wanted to devour him whole.
Now, however, he is tied to a chair like a prisoner, and Xu Lei can only sigh.
"You were a bit too arrogant before. Why did you provoke me for no reason? I wanted to have an easy time with you, and I also thought you were too old for business, so I always gave in to you..."
"Why do you keep making yourself act like a '500'?"
"If I'm willing to say a few nice things to you, it means that you are someone I can respect to some extent."
"But if you take this matter as an excuse to make a big deal out of it, I will absolutely not allow it. Do you really think you can do something extraordinary in this matter?"
"When I see this now, I just feel a little helpless."
I was speechless.
Now, many things have been changed to a different skill.
I just want them to take this opportunity to stand in front of me again, and at least not let things change course again.
It only makes them feel a little worried and uncertain.
"I used to think that things would always take a turn for the better and change, but now, I have a different idea and such concerns."
"You still lack a little bit of composure; you can only go along with each other's wishes."
"Only then is it truly possible for this to happen; there is a chance for a turning point."
Old Pete didn't care at all, and even felt that Xu Lei had used many tricks to imprison him here.
"Young man, don't always think things are so simple. Do you really think you can keep me locked up here?"
"Or do you think you have some ability that can compete with me? Right now, I just want you to stay here obediently."
"You are so arrogant and ungrateful. Now you actually think of threatening me with this. Don't you know your own worth?"
"Don't you know your own limitations? Trying to threaten me with something like this?"
At this moment, he spoke without any politeness, pointing directly at the other person's spine and launching into a tirade of questions, just to make the other person understand him.
He wouldn't be scared out of his wits by just a few words; he was quite capable and confident in handling this matter.
After all, he didn't need to do anything suspicious with the other party.
“Now that I’m in your hands, why are you using this tone to slander me? Just say what you want to do directly. There’s no need to beat around the bush like this. I despise people like you the most.”
At this moment, Old Pete was still arrogant and didn't care at all, and didn't even believe that Xu Lei could do anything to him.
When Xiaoqiang heard that his boss had been spoken to like that, he couldn't hold back any longer and decided to have a serious argument with the other party.
But Xu Lei wouldn't fall for it; he thought the other side was trying to provoke him.
Xu Lei, however, didn't get worked up and instead told the other party to calm down first.
"You've already come to this point, are you sure you won't dare to do anything to me because I'm young?"
"You really don't know me. I'm only 1.9 years old, so sometimes I don't consider the consequences of my actions. How can you be so sure I haven't taken a few lives?"
"You've been in business before, and if you want to build such a big business, how could you possibly avoid offending a few people?"
"So from the very beginning, you labeled me as easy to bully, which was a mistake in itself. I will definitely show you just how narrow-minded and shallow your understanding of me really is."
