Chapter 78: Sister-in-law, Please Stay

Chapter 78 Sister-in-law, Please Stay As soon as Ning Weiguo saw this attitude, Ning Weidong understood what was going on. Ning Weiguo didn't want to take advantage of his younger brother. In other words, in Ning Weiguo's eyes, Li Peihang's favors and gratitude were worthless. Ning Weidong said: "Then I will go by myself. By the way, brother, where do they live?" Ning Weiguo gave an address and couldn't help but smile when he saw Ning Weidong calling Ning Weifeng out in a hurry. Wang Yuzhen on the side also felt a little emotional. Ning Weidong's growth during this period was visible to the naked eye. This time, we were able to discover in advance a situation that was enough to change Li Peihang's fate. It was not entirely a matter of luck. After leaving home, Ning Weidong asked Ning Wei to go back first, as Ning Wei would not be needed for the following matters. He rode his bike and went straight to Li Peihang's house according to the address Ning Weiguo had just given him. It was almost nine o'clock, and there were few pedestrians on the road. The north wind was blowing from the side, as if it was going to overturn the bicycle. Ning Weidong rode his bicycle from Fuchengmen to the west and approached the Red Star Factory. There was a residential building here, which was a cadre building built by the factory two years ago.

There is a large courtyard enclosed by a wall. The area inside is not small, but there are only six buildings. The flower beds downstairs are beautifully landscaped. Ning Weidong came to the downstairs of Building No. 3. Although there is a yard here, there is no guard at the gate. It’s not that exaggerated to say it’s a cadre building, which refers to the middle-level management of the factory. Ning Weidong parked his bicycle, looked up, and guessed which window it was that belonged to Li Peihang's house. Then he walked into the unit door and went up the stairs to the third floor. The entrance door of Li Peihang's house is covered with galvanized iron sheets with snowflake patterns. When you knock on it with your hands, the sound is particularly loud. A woman inside asked, "Who is it?" Ning Weidong said: "I am Ning Weidong, I want to talk to Brother Li about something." The woman inside did not respond. After a moment, footsteps were heard, followed by a "click" and the door opened from the inside. "Weidong~" Li Peihang, wearing a sweater and trousers, said with a smile: "It's really you!" "Brother Li." Ning Weidong nodded and greeted him, then squeezed in. Li Peihang took a step back and let him into the house. Li Peihang's house is very clean, and the floor is tiled, which is rare. Ning Weidong stood at the door and didn't go in. He looked at the woman behind Li Peihang and said with a smile: "This is my sister-in-law, right? Should I change my slippers?" The woman was very beautiful, probably around 27 or 28 years old. She was stunned by what Ning Weidong said, and quickly said "sorry" and went to the shoe cabinet next to her to get her slippers. Li Peihang introduced: "Xiaozhi is Weiguo's younger brother." Wang Yazhi knew Ning Weiguo, and looking at Ning Weidong's features, they really were brothers. He smiled and squatted down to put his slippers away.

Ning Weidong thanked him, changed into slippers and went in, saying seriously, "Brother Li, I shouldn't disturb you and sister-in-law in the middle of the night, but I have something to report to you." When Li Peihang saw that Ning Weidong came empty-handed, he knew that he was not here to give any gifts. Moreover, given Ning Weidong's situation, there is no need to try to please him in vain. Ning Weidong is a part of the transaction, not someone begging for charity. What's more, even if you give gifts, the timing and method are wrong. Even if Ning Weidong didn't understand, Ning Weiguo would never let him be so reckless. Ning Weidong was able to find this place, he must have asked Ning Weiguo for the address. Li Peihang was even more curious about what Ning Weidong was going to report. But he was a bit shrewd and didn't rush to speak. He let Ning Weidong go to the study. Wang Yazhi made two cups of tea before Li Peihang asked about the details. Ning Weidong said, "Brother Li, after get off work today, I accidentally saw Lu Zhou going to..." Blah blah blah, omitting Ning Wei, Ning Weidong directly used his own first-person perspective to selectively describe some of the situations. When Li Peihang heard that Lu Zhou was looking for Xu Jinshan, his face changed. Lu Zhou is not important, what is important is the person behind Lu Zhou. He originally thought that after Liu Xinwen's incident was over, the factory would be peaceful for a while. After all, Wang Guoqiang also bears leadership responsibility for the series of incidents. But he still underestimated the situation of the struggle and Wang Kaifeng's determination to get to the top. He turned to look at Ning Weidong again and secretly rejoiced. Ning Weidong is really a lucky guy. He actually discovered the action over there in advance. Li Peihang stood up, turned around the room twice quickly, and said gloomily: "You are so good, Wang Kaifeng!" As an old rival, Li Peihang knew Wang Kaifeng better than anyone else. After listening to Ning Weidong's words, he immediately thought of Wang Kaifeng. Generally speaking, matters like Xu Jinshan's are too small, and Wang Guoqiang and Li Weibing would not personally inquire about them. Moreover, Li Weibing also said last time that the factory needs to stabilize after this incident. This is the common attitude of him and Wang Guoqiang. Now Lu Zhou is doing the opposite, which is most likely Wang Kaifeng's unauthorized behavior. Ning Weidong watched from the side without interrupting or offering any advice. The main purpose of his visit was to tip off the enemy, and everything else was superfluous. As for helping others to the end and directly helping Li Peihang solve the problem, it is a thankless task. Ning Weidong's role has never been to do "dirty work". Not to mention whether Ning Weidong can do the job well, even Li Peihang doesn't dare to give him the "dirty work". Unless Li Peihang wants to turn against Ning Weiguo.

Besides, Ning Weidong was not someone he could completely trust, and Li Peihang would never hand over any evidence of his own to Ning Weidong. Looking at Ning Weidong again, Li Peihang went over and held Ning Weidong's hand: "Brother Weidong, I don't need words to thank you for your kindness. I will remember this time." Ning Weidong said: "Brother Li, you are being too polite. You are my brother's best friend, just like my own brother." Li Peihang pursed his lips and patted Ning Weidong's shoulder. Ning Weidong stood up and said, "Brother Li, this matter is very serious, I won't waste your time." Li Peihang nodded. Although his face was tense, he was actually very anxious. He said to the outside: "Yazhi, please send Weidong off. I will call Uncle San." Ning Weidong came out of the study and Wang Yazhi was already outside. She didn't know what had happened to make Li Peihang so anxious. When he got to the door, Ning Weidong put on his cotton shoes, turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, please stay. I'm leaving first." Wang Yazhi nodded and watched Ning Weidong go down the stairs. She was concerned about Li Peihang's reaction just now, so she quickly closed the door and went back. As soon as she reached the door of the study, she saw Li Peihang hanging up the phone with a look of annoyance on his face. He hurriedly asked, "Peihang, what happened?" Li Peihang had a serious look on his face as he had just been scolded by Li Weibing. He was scolded by Li Weibing for letting Xu Jinshan escape before, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Xu Jinshan should have made a lot of money over the years. Even if he ran away to another place and lived in hiding, it wouldn't be a big deal. But now, even this little bit of luck no longer exists. If Wang Kaifeng really found Xu Jinshan first... Li Peihang didn't dare to think about the consequences. Taking a deep breath, Li Peihang grabbed his wife's hand, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her: "It's okay~ Don't worry, I will take care of it." (End of this chapter)
