Chapter 20 What should come will come eventually (two in one)
After half a month of investigation, Ma Yunfei finally verified Li Jie's resume. Of course, what he found was what the authorities wanted him to see. Until now, most of the doubts in his heart have been eliminated, but he still does not fully trust Li Jie.
.
Everything still requires patient observation!
When Ma Qitong heard the third brother's voice, she immediately jumped up from the sofa and ran to open the door excitedly. Ma Yunfei also avoided her in the name of a business trip some time ago. She thought that her third brother and her father had gone to the same place.
Now that the third brother is back, I guess my father is also back.
As soon as the door opened, Ma Qitong rushed into Ma Yunfei's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, and said in a tone that was half coquettish and half questioning.
"Third brother, why did it take you so long to come back! Where's dad, has he come back with you?"
Ma Qitong's inner thoughts were all exposed on his face. How could he hide it from Ma Yunfei, who was as cunning as a fox? He knew exactly what his little sister was thinking, otherwise he wouldn't have made an excuse to go on a business trip just for this matter.
.
"Don't ask too much about business matters. Dad won't be back for two days. Third brother promises that I will take you and Xiaozhuang to see Dad as soon as he comes back, okay?"
Ma Qitong couldn't help but laugh awkwardly after being exposed. Ma Yunfei was not angry at all when he saw this. When they were young, the Ma family's business was not as big as it is now. Ma Shichang rarely goes home throughout the year and spends most of his time there.
outside.
Their mother even abandoned him and Ma Qitong because she didn't like the business Ma Shichang was engaged in. Ma Qitong was almost single-handedly raised by Ma Yunfei when she was young. The relationship between the two was very deep, and they were members of the Ma family.
The only one who survives in the next generation naturally cherishes the rare family love even more.
Ma Yunfei is the third son in the family. His two older brothers were both killed in the trading battle. It turned out that he had another younger brother, but his mother took his younger brother away when she left, so only the remaining
Got a sister.
Because Ma Qitong was too young at the time, she didn't even remember that she had a fraternal twin brother. She only knew that her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and she didn't know that her mother was still alive.
As the Ma family's business grew bigger and bigger, Ma Shichang once sent people to look for his wife who left without saying goodbye and the young son he hadn't seen for many years, but these two seemed to have disappeared from the world, regardless of whether they
No matter how he searched, he found nothing, and gradually his desire to search faded away.
Although Ma Shichang gave up the search, Ma Yunfei did not give up. He had been secretly investigating the whereabouts of his mother for many years. He wanted to ask her face to face how she had the heart to abandon their brother and sister. You must know that Ma Yunfei was only eight years old at the time, and Ma Qitong was even more
It was a baby under the age of 10. If it weren't for the neighbor's enthusiastic rescue, the brother and sister would have starved to death at home before Ma Shichang came back.
Hard work pays off. Ma Yunfei, who has been persistent for many years, finally heard a piece of good news some time ago and found a clue. Someone in Shanshui City had seen someone who looked very similar to his mother Tan Ai, and lived there for a period of time.
It's just that he has been busy investigating the mysterious force that emerged recently. Du Ping is the cornerstone of their Ma family's career. He can still distinguish what is important and what is important, and since he has been looking for it for so many years, he doesn't know.
Anxious for this moment.
Let’s not talk about the mysterious force. There is a more urgent matter at the moment, which is to identify Li Jie’s identity. If this matter is not solved, Ma Yunfei will not feel at ease for a day, because this matter is not only related to his most beloved
The younger sister is even more related to the future of the Ma family's career.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Despite the official precautions, the Ma family still smelled an unusual smell. The Fandu armed forces encountered by Lone Wolf Group B are closely related to the Ma family. At this juncture, this kind of thing happened.
This is undoubtedly a very dangerous signal.
Ma Yunfei couldn't wait any longer, and Ma Shichang couldn't wait any longer. They gave up their original long-term investigation plan and planned to complete the screening of Li Jie's identity as soon as possible.
"Okay, Tongtong, don't worry. I will notify you as soon as possible when dad comes back. Don't be anxious and wait patiently. You don't know when you will be able to be more stable."
Ma Qitong chuckled: "With my third brother and dad protecting me, it doesn't matter whether I am stable or not."
Ma Yunfei nodded with a smile, rubbed Ma Qitong's head and asked casually: "Where is Xiaozhuang? Are you at home?"
Ma Qitong was a little surprised when she heard this. After returning to Ma's house for so many days, this was the first time that Ma Yunfei took the initiative to find Li Jie. However, she didn't think too much and replied without thinking.
"He's at home, Third Brother, do you have anything to do with him?"
Of course Ma Yunfei knew that Li Jie was here. The person responsible for protecting Ma Qitong would report Li Jie's situation every day. The reason why he asked questions knowingly was mainly to prevent his little sister from noticing.
"Well, there is something wrong. Please take me to see him."
Ma Qitong nodded obediently: "Okay."
Li Jie's performance this time is much easier than in the Invisible Guardian world, because except for showing some tenderness when treating Ma Qitong, at other times he only needs to keep his face paralyzed and have a cold face, and almost nothing is needed.
Acting skills', when he saw Ma Yunfei coming, he just nodded indifferently as a greeting.
Ma Yunfei also knew Li Jie's temperament through investigation, and was not surprised to see Li Jie greeting him so perfunctorily.
"Xiaozhuang, you and I will go out together later!"
Li Jie also guessed a little bit about Ma Yunfei's purpose. Half a month was enough for them to investigate him clearly, so he nodded slightly. However, Ma Qitong, who was standing next to him, took a step forward like a cat with exploded fur.
He opened his hands and stopped in front of Li Jie and said dissatisfied.
"No! I will go wherever Xiaozhuang goes!"
Ma Qitong thought in her heart that her third brother was going to take Li Jie away from her. This was not the first time that this happened. Several of her previous boyfriends had disappeared like this, not to mention this time with her previous boyfriend.
My boyfriends are all different, how can they compare with Li Jie?
Ma Yunfei frowned slightly, realizing that Ma Qitong had misunderstood, but the things he was going to do later were too dirty, so how could he take Ma Qitong with him.
"Tongtong! Stop making trouble! I have serious business with Xiaozhuang, don't get involved in it!"
Ma Qitong had a stern attitude, standing straight between Ma Yunfei and Li Jie, refusing to give in, her brows full of stubbornness.
"No! I won't! I want to go with Xiaozhuang!"
Ma Yunfei's face turned cold, and he said in a very cold tone: "Don't follow me and start making noise!!"
"Third brother, you are so cruel to me!"
Tears welled up in Ma Qitong's eyes as she spoke. Ma Yunfei's heart suddenly tightened, and his attitude softened a little, and he quickly spoke out to comfort her.
"Okay, okay, it's the fault of Third Brother. Don't cry, Tongtong. Third Brother promises that Xiaozhuang will be sent back to you intact later. No hair will be missing!"
Ma Qitong stared at Ma Yunfei with tears in her eyes and asked doubtfully: "Really?"
Ma Yunfei nodded heavily and said firmly: "Really, it's absolutely true!"
At this time, Li Jie stepped forward and patted Ma Qitong on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's okay. Even if your third brother wants to do something, I will be fine."
When Ma Yunfei heard this, he became furious and glared at Li Jie viciously from an angle that Ma Qitong could not see.
'This guy is so arrogant!'
Ma Qitong first looked at Li Jie, then turned to look at Ma Yunfei. The moment she turned her head, Ma Yunfei immediately changed his expression and put on a friendly look. Ma Qitong looked back and forth between the two of them.
After a few laps, he spoke after a long silence.
"Okay, third brother, I promise you, but you can't do anything to Xiaozhuang. I have already followed him. If anything happens to him, I will, I will go with him!"
Ma Yunfei had no intention of doing anything to Li Jie. He came to him this time just to ask him to solve the note he caught before. If Li Jie couldn't do it, he would risk being blamed and hated by his little sister. Ma Yunfei
I will also end him decisively.
After coaxing and deceiving, Ma Qitong was finally convinced. Ma Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief. He would rather face the fierce and cunning Du Xiao than face the angry little girl. It was too difficult. Fight him. He couldn't bear it.
, scold him, he couldn't bear it, so he could only give him good advice.
After comforting Ma Qitong, Ma Yunfei motioned to Li Jie to follow him out. This time, Ma Qitong did not stop him. He just followed him all the way to the gate of the residence of the core members of the Ma family. It was not until Ma Yunfei asked her to go back that she reluctantly walked back.
, and went back three times in the process.
Ma Yunfei sighed silently in his heart. It seemed that the younger sister was serious this time. Otherwise, she would not be so pretentious. If it was finally confirmed that Li Jie was an undercover agent, Ma Yunfei really didn't know what to do if he really wanted to kill him.
How to face a little sister.
It wasn't until Ma Qitong disappeared from their sight that Ma Yunfei came back to his senses, glanced at Li Jie, who looked like a wooden sculpture beside him, and said coldly.
"Follow me!"
Li Jie nodded slightly, without asking why, and followed Ma Yunfei step by step, remaining silent all the way.
When he was about to arrive at the dungeon, Ma Yunfei couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "What? Aren't you curious? Aren't you afraid that a group of gunmen will greet you later?"
Li Jie shook his head and said in a very calm tone: "Don't be afraid, I will tie you up before they shoot!"
When Ma Yunfei heard this reason, he became very angry. He saw his face was cold and his eyes were staring at Li Jie like awls. He thought to himself, you kid looks down on my Ma family so much?
Facing Ma Yunfei's angry glare, Li Jie's eyes showed no fluctuation, just like the deep pool of water. His eyes were calm, deep and clear, and his face was calm, neither happy nor sad, as if everything was taken for granted.
"Believe me, I can do it!"
When Ma Yunfei heard this sentence, he was angry and funny. He laughed for a while and his laughter gradually became louder.
"Haha! It's funny! It's so funny! It's interesting! It's so interesting!"
After a while, Ma Yunfei was laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist, and there were tears of laughter in the corners of his eyes. Li Jie stood silently and watched quietly, still looking paralyzed.
After a while, Ma Yunfei stopped laughing and looked at Li Jie with interest. He found that the man in front of him was really interesting. He really wanted to see what Li Jie would do if he really faced a group of gunmen later.
The reaction is really exciting.
Thinking about it, Ma Yunfei couldn't help but tremble all over. If Xie Tianhao saw Ma Yunfei's look, he would definitely know that it was Ma Yunfei's expression when he discovered a new toy.
Although Li Jie has only been with Ma Yunfei for a short time, he has rich experience. He has seen more than one moody madman like Ma Yunfei. In terms of madness, he, Ma Yunfei, is not as good as the axe-man Feng Yixian.
"Interesting, okay, come with me. To tell you the truth, if you want to be recognized by me and my dad, your hands must be stained with the blood of the note. There is a person locked up here. You can give him to him later.
Kill."
"Of course, given your status as a killer, you can also treat this as a mission. After completion, I will pay you a reward as appropriate."
Li Jie still maintained his taciturn persona, just nodded silently, his expression as cold as a piece of bluestone.
After entering the dungeon, he passed through several levels and finally came to a room that looked like an interrogation room.
Not long after, two strong men drove Miao Lian in. There were no new wounds on Miao Lian's body. After more than half a month of training, the original wounds from the torture had already scabbed, but his expression was full of joy.
It's exhaustion.
There are so many torture techniques in this world that do not harm the body. If he had not been tortured so much, how could a tough guy like Miao Lian show such fatigue? Because of the memory of the original owner, Li Jie couldn't help but feel a nameless anger rising in his heart.
However, he is an 'old monster' who has experienced multiple dungeons and has hundreds of years of memories. Li Jie is still very delicate in handling emotional expressions. Although he is boiling with murderous intent in his heart, he still looks indifferent on the surface.
After entering the interrogation room, Ma Yunfei has been observing Li Jie without leaving any trace. When he studied abroad, he majored in drama, and he has great experience in the study of performance, emotional control, and micro-expressions. Moreover, he also minored in psychology and had been involved in horse racing before.
Most of the family's undercover agents were discovered by him.
When the two younger brothers tied Miao Lian to the cross-shaped wooden frame and faced Li Jie and Ma Yunfei like a Chinese character, Li Jie took a cursory glance at Miao Lian. When their eyes met, they exchanged words in an instant.
Thousands of words.
Then Li Jie turned his head and glanced at Ma Yunfei: "Is that him?"
Ma Yunfei nodded. Without saying a word, Li Jie pulled out the pistol on his waist. With a bang, the bullet accurately hit Miao Lian's left chest, which is where the heart of ordinary people is. Then Miao Lian tilted his head and felt helpless.
His body was drooping, and even his breathing gradually stopped.
"Is it okay?"
Ma Yunfei nodded with satisfaction. This marksmanship was really flawless. Until this moment, most of the doubts in his heart were finally eliminated, leaving only the last trace. The last trace of doubt that has not been eliminated is just due to his suspicious character, even if it is
Xie Tianhao, who had followed him for many years, could not make him confide in him. People like him would not completely trust someone.
"You can go."
Li Jie nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the cell. After taking a few steps, Ma Yunfei's subwoofer-like voice came from behind him.
"etc!"
Li Jie paused slightly and turned his head slowly. Ma Yunfei said: "I'm curious, why is there not even a trace of pity in your eyes? Isn't this man pitiful enough? Just look at the injuries on his body and you will know how much he has gone through before.
Torture, when most people see this miserable situation, they will feel a little pity, but why don't I see it at all in your eyes?"
"Don't make excuses, there's absolutely nothing wrong with my eyes!"
Li Jie shook his head indifferently and said slowly: "Pity is just the self-centered pain of a selfish and heartless person after hearing about the disaster, mixed with blind contempt for the victim (from Jane Eyre)
,I don't!"
The muscles on Ma Yunfei's face suddenly tightened, and then he laughed loudly without any scruples.
"Ha! Haha! Interesting, I didn't expect you, a killer who has not graduated from high school, to say this. Interesting, interesting!"
