Chapter 116: Little Duck Li Bet Right
Chapter 116
The ice cream and cotton candy were bought by Ke Muning's bodyguard on his own initiative.
He thought the former would be good for cooling down.
In the past, during alley battles, with temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius overhead and 40 kilograms of equipment on their backs, they had to chew on ice cubes just to endure.
Ice cream served the same purpose as ice cubes.
As for cotton candy... that was for pacifying children.
The bodyguard wasn't sure about Li Xiaoya's identity, so he could only judge her status based on the reactions of Ke Muning and Secretary Wang.
"Sir!" The bodyguard burst through the door with his shoulder, placing the items in front of Li Xiaoya.
At this moment, Ke Muning was curiously staring at the old injuries on Li Xiaoya's body.
She had multiple old wounds on her knees and ankles.
He grabbed her hand, turning it over to examine it, and asked in surprise, "No wonder you don't cry. How did you get so many old injuries?"
Secretary Wang, of course, knew that most of them were probably from Li Family Village.
He couldn't help but glance at Li Xiaoya, wondering how she would gloss over it this time.
"I was beaten," Li Xiaoya said calmly, without even blinking.
"Aren't these abrasions?"
"Mm, I often fell to the ground."
Ke Muning felt something was off. He glanced at Secretary Wang and said, "With him protecting you like this, who would dare to beat you?"
Li Xiaoya was silent for a moment, then said, "We've only known each other for a short time."
Secretary Wang paused.
How daring...
She should be very clear that the reason Ke Muning was being so kind to her was largely because she was by his side.
Ke Muning couldn't figure out the relationship between him and her, so he could only treat her as carefully as possible.
These words had cleared away all the mist.
However...
Just as Secretary Wang had said to Xu Ruying—
Opportunities and risks coexist.
In fact, the greater the risk, the greater the potential reward.
On this side, Ke Muning's face darkened, and he crouched there without speaking for a long time.
Li Xiaoya didn't speak either. She used her phone to ask Ke Muning's bodyguard, "What is this?"
The bodyguard was a bit confused, feeling the atmosphere was off, and said in a daze, "Ice cream, to cool you down."
"Thank you." Li Xiaoya went to open the ice cream lid, but she had never eaten it before, so she couldn't find the right way and couldn't open it even with force.
Ke Muning reached out from the side, grabbed the hidden pull tab under the lid, and with a strong pull, lifted the entire plastic lid.
He narrowed his eyes, staring dangerously at Li Xiaoya and asked, "Oh? So you're neither his daughter nor any relative of his?"
"No."
Ke Muning pushed the ice cream towards her and asked, "Then who beat you?"
The ice cream was too frozen, and when Li Xiaoya poked it with the spoon, there was a "snap," and the plastic spoon broke in half.
She said, "My father, and grandfather."
Ke Muning stared at the small wounds on her fingers and asked, "Then why not kill them?"
This is where the difference between a madman and a normal person lies.
A normal person might first ask why they treated you like that.
Ke Muning didn't.
Li Xiaoya looked at him: "That's why I'm learning."
Ke Muning laughed: "Ha, good, I'll make sure you learn... Whose child are you, exactly?"
Li Xiaoya lowered her eyes and used her phone translator to say, "A cold, cruel family."
It had a flavor of disgust, as if she didn't even want to mention it.
"So at such a young age, you're already so ambitious." After Ke Muning said this, he privately guessed which prominent family had such a style.
He had heard that there was a Li Family in Asia that was close to this style.
Could she be a child of the Li Family? frёewebηovel.cѳm
But he had seen some of the Li Family people before, and they were quite distinguishable, a bit shorter, with smaller eyes.
Ke Muning didn't guess anymore.
He asked, "Is it good?"
Li Xiaoya cupped her face and said, "It's freezing my teeth."
"Still dizzy?" Ke Muning asked again.
"Not anymore."
"Then don't eat it." Ke Muning took away the ice cream and gave it back to the bodyguard.
He unwrapped the cotton candy for her.
Secretary Wang took in this scene, and he had to admit, Li Xiaoya had gambled correctly.
Or perhaps it shouldn't be called a gamble.
While others were still trying to figure out Ke Muning's logic, she already knew how to use his personality.
Her appearance "perfectly" suited Ke Muning's taste.
More importantly...
She chose to tell Ke Muning the "truth," admitting that there wasn't a deep relationship between them.
Combined with what she said before about being willing to be a madman,
This was clearly telling Ke Muning that between him and Ke Muning, she was already leaning more towards Ke Muning.
If a person is rarely chosen so firmly by such a "kindred spirit,"
They would be very susceptible to this approach.
Secretary Wang lowered his head and pressed his temple. No good... he wanted to raise one even more now.
On the other side.
Wei Wenjun finally made his decision: "We can leave, but how? The snipers are definitely still watching. Ke Muning has many people at his disposal, they can take shifts to keep us under constant surveillance without any problem. And those people are fearless..."
"Ke Muning also knows that once we return to Hua Country, he might completely lose his chance. So at that time, even if it means taking risks, he will definitely make a move before we leave."
Sheng Yuxiao said, "It's easy for Little Duck's little uncle to leave."

"Yes..."
"It's not difficult for you either."
"How is it not difficult? I'm in a wheelchair, it's too obvious a target."
"Then don't use the wheelchair."
"Are you suggesting I stand up? No doctor can make that happen."
"You can't stand, and you can't sit, but you can lie down..."
"Ke Muning isn't a fool, this won't fool him. He'll still strictly check people lying down."
"But what if... it's a corpse?"
Wei Wenjun lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then smiled: "A maritime disaster, unfortunate victims returning to their country. This is very reasonable. If there's an official medical vehicle, first sent to the local police station, that would be even more reasonable."
Wei Wenjun couldn't help but exclaim: "Young Master Sheng's mind indeed works fast."
Sheng Yuxiao said lazily: "After all, I'm my parents' only son, all the intelligence was inherited by me alone."
Wei Wenjun muttered to himself, so the old man shouldn't be upset, it's because he had too many children, right?
