Village chief?
Which village's chief was he?
Which village chief could make a casual phone call and have all the partners of a company worth tens of billions terminate their relationships with it within 24 hours?
After hearing Li Qianfan speak to the person on the other end of the line as a village chief, Mo Hongti was stunned for a moment, then her mind began to race.
If it were anyone else making such a phone call, Mo Hongti would have just given them two words.
"Idiot!"
But the person making this call was Li Qianfan.
Mo Hongti would believe every word he said with 100% certainty.
After Li Qianfan finished speaking to Li Tianhe, he ended the call.
He looked at Mo Hongti, "When we reach the provincial capital, you'll get off the train directly. Then, quietly await the sudden chaos of Yuanhang Group. Around tomorrow or the day after, you can then go to the Du family and tell them you can solve this problem. However, you will need them to pay a heavy price."
Mo Hongti gazed at Li Qianfan with burning eyes and asked with a trembling voice, "What price?"
"For example, you can personally break Du Tianci's legs."
"For example, you can make the Du family give you a huge sum of wealth that you desire."
"For example, you can make the Du family transfer a company to you at a low price."
After stating three examples, Li Qianfan said, "In short, you must make the Du family realize that only you can resolve their sudden crisis. No one else will be of any use. Moreover, if they dare to retaliate against you afterwards, they will undoubtedly pay an even more excruciating price. Once you are satisfied, give me a call, and I will make further arrangements."
Mo Hongti's lips moved, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Her whole body trembled lightly.
Looking at Li Qianfan, her eyes even began to turn red.
She openly harbored a greedy desire to make Li Qianfan hers!
Ever since Li Qianfan had caused a scene at Victoria that night, leading Liu Shichun to proactively offer business to Su Ziyu, Mo Hongti had already paid close attention to him.
Now it seemed—
She had still greatly underestimated the power Li Qianfan possessed!
Li Qianfan felt uneasy under her gaze and quickly raised his hand to push her face away, "Are you finally at ease now?"
His phone call not only helped Mo Hongti resolve her troubles but also allowed her to profit significantly.
Of course.
If Mo Hongti's troubles weren't inadvertently caused by Li Qianfan, he wouldn't have bothered.
Mo Hongti nodded continuously, "I'm at ease, I'm at ease!"
Li Qianfan said nothing more.
But Mo Hongti understood his meaning – he was implicitly telling her that she could distance herself from him.
"Little brother."
Mo Hongti gulped and said, "I want to ask you a question."
"Ask away."
Li Qianfan answered crisply, "If I can answer it, I will definitely do so. But can you first take your hand away?"
Mo Hongti's left hand had already moved up more than thirty centimeters along Li Qianfan's knee and showed no signs of stopping.
If it were any other man, being approached so proactively by a beautiful woman like Mo Hongti, he would have pretended not to notice.
However, Li Qianfan had no interest in this "old cow."
Mo Hongti's hand stopped.
She whispered, "A wealthy man suddenly invites a beggar to a banquet. So, do you think this beggar will pester the wealthy man?"
Li Qianfan's expression immediately darkened.
Just as he was about to say something, Mo Hongti withdrew her hand, took several deep breaths, leaned her head back against the seat, and closed her eyes.
This woman was undoubtedly a master at playing mind games (and men).
She had timely changed her attitude, forcing Li Qianfan to swallow back what he was about to say.
"Little brother."
Mo Hongti suddenly asked, "Can I borrow your shoulder for a moment?"
Li Qianfan replied without thinking, "No."
"Then lend me an arm."
Mo Hongti opened her eyes and looked at him, "I just want to sleep soundly. Ever since you crippled Du Tianci, I've been in a state of anxiety and fear. I've barely slept these past few nights."
Only then did Li Qianfan notice the exhaustion etched on her face.
After a moment of hesitation, Li Qianfan extended his left hand.
Mo Hongti immediately hugged his arm tightly.
Very tightly.
Li Qianfan frowned immediately, but then heard her say, "Little brother, don't speak. Come into my dream and accompany me."
Whooosh—
The high-speed train plunged into a tunnel, and another train was approaching from the opposite direction.
As the two trains sped past each other, the immense force generated made Li Qianfan feel an overwhelming pressure.
Swish—
The high-speed train burst out of the tunnel, and the pressure Li Qianfan felt vanished instantly.
Looking at Mo Hongti again.
She had fallen asleep.
She wasn't faking it.
Because she was holding Li Qianfan's arm, her wrist pulse was against his arm, allowing him to easily "take her pulse" and determine her true condition.
Li Qianfan turned his head to look out the train window.
The train whistled, and the scenery outside whizzed by.
As he watched, Li Qianfan's eyes gradually closed.
Whooosh—
Clatter clatter!
When a train "brushed past" this one, Li Qianfan, who had also unknowingly fallen asleep, opened his eyes.
"What time is it?"
"Have we reached the provincial capital?"
"My left hand—"
As his mind raced, Li Qianfan suddenly realized something was wrong.
When had Mo Hongti's smooth leg somehow secured his left hand?
And Mo Hongti was still fast asleep.
She must have been dreaming of eating, as drool had dripped from the corner of her mouth, soaking Li Qianfan's shirt (at the shoulder).
From above, the train attendant's voice reminded them, "Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at the final destination, Sijiunnan Station. Please gather your belongings and prepare to disembark."
Sijiunnan Station?
As Li Qianfan paused, Mo Hongti, who had been using his arm as a pillow, let out a soft moan and opened her eyes.
Her pupils were still red.
This was a normal phenomenon after prolonged sleep deprivation.
Those bloodshot lines would recede soon.
She looked at him and smiled, "I've gained a traveling hand."
Traveling hand, my ass!
Li Qianfan quickly and forcefully pulled his damned left hand back.
Mo Hongti, however, acted as if nothing had happened. She stretched languidly, her movements full of allure, revealing half of her fair, slender waist.
"I've already helped you resolve the crisis. I no longer owe you anything."
Li Qianfan looked at Mo Hongti, "The key is that after you get off the train, you must not follow me. Otherwise, you might truly encounter an accident. If you don't listen and something happens, I will not be responsible."
Mo Hongti said nothing.
She languidly got up, picked up her small bag, and walked towards the restroom with a slightly awkward gait.
Li Qianfan ignored her and quickly took out his phone to call Su Ziyu.
He had slept for almost the entire journey, well over two hours.
"I'm counting down."
Su Ziyu's cool voice said, "I just counted to four. In three more seconds, if you haven't called, I'll call the police."
Li Qianfan—
Can only offer a conciliatory smile and explain that he had fallen asleep on the way, and implored the Dean for forgiveness.
Considering Li Qianfan's relatively sincere apology, Su Ziyu magnanimously forgave him this time.
But never again!
"Alright, I need to get off the train."
The train began to slow down, and Li Qianfan appropriately bid farewell to Su Ziyu.
He had just ended the call when Mo Hongti returned.
She tossed a small black piece of cloth onto Li Qianfan's knee.
She asked righteously, "It got half wet. If I had truly met with an accident, would you have stood by and watched?"
