Chapter 491 The Strongest Helper

Xu Lei's smile at that moment was extremely surprising to the other party.

"So what can you do to me? You're really trying to kill me. Let me tell you, what you're doing is..."

Before Old Pete could finish speaking, Xu Lei gave Xiao Qiang a look, and Xiao Qiang immediately kicked him to the ground.

Old Pete was getting on in years, and after such a struggle, he immediately lay on the ground groaning and couldn't get up for a long time.

Xu Lei shook his head helplessly. He wanted to have a proper talk with the other party, but the other party just wouldn't give him that chance.

It's really not right to have made the situation so bad, especially now that we've all reached this point.

If we talk things out properly, there are still 17 areas that can be negotiated, but if we really push everyone to this point...

I believe Xu Lei won't stand idly by, nor will he insist on doing things this way, as long as we follow each other's decisions.

Xu Lei believed that they would all quietly focus on their own affairs and would not want to cause any trouble.

Sure enough, after being given a hard time, the old man's attitude changed drastically.

“I know exactly what you’re thinking, that you want land for Green Home, but the only thing you’re wrong about is that you’re too confident in yourself.”

"Why do you think I'll completely believe you just because you say a few random things? You even go so far as to say a few things about yourself and expect me to completely believe you?"

"You think you've got the victory in the bag, don't you? Let me tell you, you're so wrong. The thing I hate most in my life is being threatened."

What Xu Lei said wasn't entirely untrue.

Moreover, it was a serious matter to make the other party understand the crux of the matter and to make them realize that if he wanted to be ruthless, he could do it and shouldn't always be treated like a fool.

Hearing Xu Lei say this, the other party was obviously stunned. He did not expect Xu Lei to be so arrogant in his first move!

Xu Lei's actions were quite an eye-opener for Old Pete; he never expected Xu Lei to be so arrogant.

They didn't care about their previous thoughts at all, and just tied themselves up here right in front of everyone.

"You're just trying to put me in that position because you think the Green Home thing is really good."

"I'm going to listen to you no matter what. You underestimate me. Do you think you're so meticulous just because I'm young and easy to control?" Xiang Rong felt particularly smug.

Xu Lei looked at the other person calmly with a smile on his face.

Old Pete was so excited when he saw Xu Lei that he kicked his chair hard. Xiao Qiang told him to behave himself.

"Weren't you just spouting threats about 500? Why are you chickening out now? I'm telling you, it's too late. You'd better stay here obediently."

After Xiaoqiang's lecture, Old Pete's eyes revealed a fierce look.

Xu Lei only told Xiao Qiang to be polite to others.

"Xiaoqiang, this is my guest after all. How can you be so inconsiderate? Quickly untie him."

Xu Lei didn't care at all; he would still attack him, since the assassin Hong Xinxin wasn't with Old Pete.

Old Pete immediately realized that this was a trap set by Xu Lei.

So when the cloth covering his mouth was torn off, Old Pete attacked Xu Lei.

Chapter 492 I Won't Suffer a Loss

"Good boy!"

"You deliberately lured me here, didn't you? First, separate Hong Xinxin."

"If I don't have anyone around me, then I can do whatever I want with them."

After saying that, he still had a look of disbelief in his eyes. He really didn't expect that he could do whatever he wanted with her.

Therefore, their eyes revealed only helplessness, as if everything had forced them to this point.

"You always think too highly of yourself, assuming you can handle everything perfectly well with just a few words."

"But little did they know that they had already been completely manipulated by others in this matter."

"If you think you can scare people to death with just a few words, you're too naive."

After saying that, he had a slight smile in his eyes, as if he wanted the other person to understand.

Everything will not be as simple as he imagines; it will definitely change according to his own ideas.

Old Pete realized he had suffered a great loss, but he had no choice but to swallow it.

He dared not grow freely, and that was what made him feel utterly devastated.

He thought he could get a better chance to talk back to Xu Lei, but he didn't expect that the kid wasn't afraid of him at all.

He even seemed indifferent to whether he would live or die.

Such situations are what cause people to feel extremely frustrated and helpless.

Old Pete simply couldn't accept the reality before him, so his voice was filled with nothing but screams.

"You'd better let me get out of here alive, or you know my men aren't pushovers."

Xu Lei knew, of course, that besides Hong Xinxin, Old Pete was definitely not alone.

"You're not talking about Li Hongwei, are you...?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, he's on his way now, and you two should be able to meet him soon. Also, the reason my good brother's ship was seized..."

"This kid was involved too, wasn't he? I've met Li Hongwei before. He was in prison back then. I never expected that he would end up hanging out with you after he got out."

Before coming here, Old Pete knew that Xu Lei had a lot of influence in this area, but he didn’t expect it to be this great!

Even the bodyguard he painstakingly recruited had some old acquaintance with Xu Lei.

I bought Li Hongwei myself at a high price.

So Pete always regarded it as his last trump card.

But as soon as Xu Lei said this, his expression changed instantly, and Xiao Qiang saw this change in his expression.

It really is hilarious.

"You really think you're some kind of divine being, that nothing can escape your grasp."

"Let me tell you, our boss is really something else. Sometimes he just doesn't bother to take direct action against someone like you. You really think we're pushovers?"

At this moment, Old Pete's eyes revealed endless sorrow.

Xu Lei felt quite sorry for Li, who didn't even know what to do next.

Old Pete thought he had calculated everything very ruthlessly and accurately, but he never expected that he still couldn't outsmart Xu Lei.

Xu Lei could only sigh helplessly.

"You think you can fool people? You really think you can just say a few words and get rid of them?"

"We're all seasoned foxes; we're experts at understanding these kinds of things."

Chapter 493 Returning the Money in Full

"You dismissed everyone with just a few words, so wouldn't they be the biggest fools among fools?"

"Everyone here has seen and experienced this before. Do you really think you can fool anyone with just a few words? I saved Li Hongwei's life before."

"So I suppose they won't do anything to me after they arrive, you should understand that by now."

Old Pete closed his eyes in despair, and just then the door suddenly opened.

Xiaoqiang then took Li Hongwei over.

Upon seeing Xu Lei, Li Hongwei bowed respectfully.

"You're paying me to do things."

"You don't even have this much professional ethics anymore. Let me tell you, I only took you in because I saw you were desperate. Is this how you repay me now? It really breaks my heart."

After the other person finished speaking, their eyes revealed a hint of shock and helplessness.

Li Hongwei simply took out a bank card.

“This contains all the salary and bonuses you gave me before, and I am returning it to you in full now.”

Look at this series of moves.

Old Pete was immediately blinded.

I never imagined that Xu Lei's network of connections would be so extensive.

He even managed to knock himself onto the beach with a single move, leaving him feeling completely lost and disoriented by everything around him.

There's a sense of despair.

"Alright, you don't need to doubt your life anymore. It's because our boss has always had this ability."

"It's your own fault for being ungrateful. We clearly wanted to have a good chat with you, but you didn't steer the conversation toward the important things. This forces us to think of other ways to do things."

"So you only have yourself to blame for being so blind and thinking you could have us completely under your control."

"I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible. We're not children anymore. Do you really think you can scare us with just a few words?"

After saying this, the other person smiled, but the smile seemed slightly eerie.

Xu Lei only wanted the other party to understand that he didn't want to do anything to him. Li Hongwei was also very friendly when he met Xu Lei.

Because he knew that if Xu Lei hadn't intervened back then, he and his own younger brother would never have survived.

During his years in prison, he relied entirely on Xu Lei's help.

"I will never forget your great kindness."

(bhbj)

Upon hearing this, Xu Lei was very pleased, knowing that Li Hongwei was a grateful person and would always remember what had happened before.

"Of course I have never doubted your loyalty."

Xu Lei only told Xiao Qiang to take Li Hongwei outside to rest for a while, as the remaining matters should be settled, otherwise they would keep dragging on here.

Xu Lei had also mostly lost interest.

Once everyone is fully prepared, the rest should be calculated and sorted out step by step.

Seeing that Xu Lei had been dismissed, Old Pete couldn't help but feel a little worried, sensing that the situation was no longer something that could be handled calmly.

Therefore, he was extremely afraid.

However, as things stand, he ultimately feels that he can no longer offer any understanding or concern.

"I never thought I would lose to you in the end. Don't think you're really scared. I'm trapped here now too."

"I have no choice in this. Wait until I get out of here, until I can truly turn my life around, then you can see me."

Xu Lei immediately threw a punch, making Old Pete see stars.

Xu Lei's grip strength was surprisingly great.

Amidst his surprise, his eyes revealed terror and fear; he was genuinely afraid of what Xu Lei might do to him.

Chapter 494 It Doesn't Matter

After all, his hands and feet were tied up, even though he had said some harsh words earlier.

However, it's hard to guarantee that Xu Lei won't get angry and kill himself in a fit of rage; that would be truly speechless.

In fact, for them, things have already progressed to this point, and there should be no impulsive actions or behaviors.

But I really don't know how to deal with it.

Xu Lei gradually took control of the situation, hoping to make the other party understand him.

Not wanting to argue with him now doesn't mean I'm afraid of him.

Rather, she wanted him to understand that his life was in the hands of his own whim.

Sometimes not wanting to engage in so much pretense with him doesn't mean I'm weak.

"Do you always think I'm a coward?"

Xu Lei slowly approached, his eyes filled with a hint of questioning.

I dare not say a word at this moment, partly because I am scared, but more so because I feel that this matter is completely different from what I imagined.

I thought everything was in my grasp, but now I realize how ridiculous I was for being so arrogant and even underestimating my opponent.

Even before that, Hung Sin-Sin had reminded herself.
