Trapped on the Same Day for a Thousand Years: Brother-in-Law, Give Me a Hint?
Welcome to "I've Been Trapped in the Same Post for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
Li Ruobin seemed momentarily stunned. Yes.
Wu Zhen nodded and smiled, saying, "My scoring criteria are very strict. A score of 6 is enough to describe someone as having a beautiful appearance. Only female celebrities known for their looks can reach a score of 8 or higher."
I'm referring to natural looks; you get a 9 out of 10.
However, your attractiveness to men is not primarily due to your looks. Although you are very beautiful, it is your other qualities that are most captivating.
Wu Chen then looked at Li Ruobing and said.
He paused for a moment, then added that Qingying scored 9.5 points, and Wu Yurong in her youth scored 10 points for looks, a perfect score.
Li Ruobing asked with a subtle expression.
I gave it a perfect score, but not for the woman's appearance; aesthetics are a very subjective thing.
Wu Chen said.
What does that mean?
Li Ruobing didn't quite understand.
It's very complicated.
Wu Chen shook his head, offering no explanation.
Okay, so what about Wu Yurong now?
Aesthetic judgment is a very subjective matter.
Wu Chen repeated himself, then asked Li Ruobing, "How do you think he compares to you now?"
If I thought he wasn't as pretty as me, would I still be asking you?
Li Ruobing, however, said...
Wu Chen smiled, understanding what Li Ruobing meant.
Li Ruobing felt that Wu Yurong, who was 15 years older than her, was no less beautiful than her in today's world. She couldn't judge who was better, so she asked Wu Chen.
Wu Chen stopped talking, and Li Ruobing stopped asking questions. He took Wu Chen's hand.
The two went downstairs to the living room. There were hardly any people left on the First Floor. There had been a lot of people earlier, checking everything. Because there were so many people, the check was quick, and they had already finished. The listening devices they found were destroyed and left on the coffee table.
Besides Li Ruotai, only two of his trusted bodyguards and Zhou Huan, Li Ruobing's trusted bodyguard, remained in the living room.
When his brother-in-law brought the two over, Li Ruota stood up and gestured for all the bodyguards to leave.
The bodyguards had all left, leaving only three people in the living room. Wu Chen and Li Ruobing sat down on the sofa.
Did you call Dad?
Li Ruobing asked.
Not yet.
Li Ruotai spoke with a sullen face and a very strange tone.
He looked at Li Ruobing with flickering eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Wu Chen and said, "This was my mistake today. I promise it will not happen again."
Brother-in-law, just tell me if you need a few bodyguards. I don't need any.
Wu Chen interrupted the refusal, then smiled and said, "Grandma, you're so kind."
Seeing that Wu Chen refused, Li Ruotai didn't say much, but his expression was still very strange.
What are you going to do?
Li Ruobin looked at his younger brother, narrowed his eyes, and asked.
Without.
Li Ruotai immediately replied.
Seeing Li Ruotai's attitude, Li Ruobing's face immediately darkened. He knew his younger brother too well. They were only a year apart in age and had grown up together since childhood. Li Ruobing knew Li Ruotai's personality, his style, what Li Ruotai wanted to do, and how Li Ruotai behave.
A Tai, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless!
Li Ruobing suddenly stood up. Normally, she would cower in fear whenever Li Ruobing got angry, but Li Ruotai's face was even darker now. He hurriedly pointed to himself and shouted, "Sister, Ding Ruilong is slapping me in the face! East Sea?"
I've managed East Sea for six years, and he's doing this kind of thing in my territory. You want me to tolerate him? Why should I tolerate him?
If Old Ding hadn't treated him like a treasure, I would have teamed up with him and killed him long ago. What kind of person is he anyway?
Li Ruotai grew increasingly angry as he spoke, and stood up as well. "Sister, this has happened so many times! Last time he bombed your factory's equipment room, and I killed people in the warehouse, you even scolded me, saying I was impulsive. So what if I did something to him?"
I just want to kill him. Anyone can kill him, but not you. Why can't I?
Why can't I do it?
Li Ruotai, calm down!
Sis, how am I supposed to calm down?
This time she moved her brother-in-law, but what about next time?
This time, it was only thanks to my brother-in-law's fighting skills that nothing serious happened. It was also thanks to my brother-in-law calling me in advance to notify me to arrest the person that everything went smoothly.
I, Li Ruotai, am like a useless piece of trash. Am I supposed to be a tortoise?
The siblings started arguing, just as the rumors in the East Sea said: provoking Li Ruobing was more terrifying than provoking Li Ruotai himself.
When it comes to his sister's affairs, Li Ruotai often acts without reason, logic, or method, acting impulsively on a whim.
Today's events really gave Li Ruotai a big shock. Li Ruotai had long ago made a vow in her heart that she would protect her sister in the same way she had protected her sister in the past. What her sister liked was what she liked, and the man her sister loved was her brother-in-law.
Li Ruotai knew very well that if his brother-in-law Wu Chen got into trouble, his usually calm sister would become the most irrational. She might even shoot Ding Ruilong instead, which would be difficult to handle and could even lead to the loss of his sister. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Therefore, Li Ruota really wants to get rid of Ding Ruilong first, quickly, cleanly, and to eliminate any future troubles. Li Ruobing will never let her do that.
Wu Chen knew Li Ruobing well. Although she was tough, she had a very obvious weakness deep down: the people she cared about.
Before Wu Chen appeared, there were only two people in the entire Li Family, or even the entire world, that Li Ruobing cared about: her mother and her younger brother.
The more Li Ruotai cared, the less he wanted anything to happen to him.
Therefore, if anyone else were to kill Ding Ruilong, Li Ruobing would not only not stop them, but would also applaud and cheer.
But Li Ruotai is absolutely out of the question. He killed Ding Runlong, and another person from a powerful family whose status was comparable to his. He will definitely not get away with this.
Wu Chen was able to get close to Li Ruobing exploiting her weakness: her desire to protect her younger brother.
Now, Wu Chen and Li Ruobing have progressed to the point where he has become the third person Li Ruobing cares about.
The reason Li Ruobin is advising Li Ruotai now is the same as the reason he criticized Wu Chen before. The difference is that Wu Chen did not really intend to kill Ding Runlong directly; he had a plan to destroy the entire Ding Family. Li Ruotai, on the other hand, really did intend to do so.
Sister, this East Sea, this is East Sea! Ding Runlong is in Nanguang.
If he reaches out his hand, why can't I chop him up?
Li Ruotai became increasingly agitated.
Li Ruobing was so angry she didn't know what to say. She raised her hand to rub her forehead, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Wu Chen's calm, amused expression, which made her even angrier.
You should try to persuade his brother-in-law!
Li Ruobing gestured to Wu Chen and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't need to persuade me. I will consider this matter carefully."
Before Wu Chen could speak, Li Ruotai interrupted, saying that Wu Chen hadn't actually tried to persuade him, but instead smiled and asked, "Was Old Blade saved?"
Old Blade's brother-in-law specifically requested that the one who lived be chosen.
Li Ruotai said that the bodyguard had told him about this, and Wu Chen nodded in agreement. He then received a call from the other end informing him.
It's good that he's alive; I need to talk to him alone.
Let's discuss this in detail.
After Wu Chen finished speaking, he smiled, his words clearly carrying a hidden meaning. Li Ruota paused for a moment, then thought for a second, before quickly walking around the coffee table and sitting down next to Wu Chen. She nudged him and leaned closer to ask, "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about?"
Does he know something about Ding Ruilong?
Or could he say anything that would kill Ding Ruilong?
I want to know.
Wu Zhen looked at Li Ruotai and nodded to Li Ruotai to apologize to Sister Li.
Wu Chen gestured to Li Ruotai, then stood up abruptly and bowed 90 degrees to Li Ruobing, saying, "Sister, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have argued with you." Throughout the entire process, he didn't even look at Ruobing.
After saying that, he sat down again, leaned closer and stared intently at Wu Chen, even showing a friendly smile.
Brother-in-law, could you tell me first, have you heard of the Golden Flower Group on the Myanmar border?
Wu Zhen glanced at Li Ruotai and asked with a smile.
Golden Flower Group?
Li Ruobin frowned first, then glared at the warlord who was Du. He nodded to Wu Chen. The "Golden Flower Group" meant a criminal organization. The Myanmar border was a very chaotic place, with many people who could be considered warlords in modern society. They were all more or less related to Du. Golden Flower was such an organization.
Is that Old Blade guy a member of Jin Hua?
Li Ruotai seemed to understand after thinking about it, and nodded to Wu Chen, saying that the Old Blade was essentially a top-notch enforcer, one of Jin Hua's agents in China. You could also say he was a mercenary assassin who would do anything for money and was extremely daring.
Could it be that Ding Ruilong and Jin Hua...?
Li Ruotai subconsciously slowed down his speech, speaking slower and slower, but his tone became excited.
If Ding Runlong is connected to the Evolution Group and involved with drugs, then once this matter is exposed, not even a god can save him.
Wu Chen shook his head. It wasn't as serious as you think. Ding Runlong had plenty of legal ways to make money and wouldn't do such a thing. The Ding Family would never let him get away with it. He personally had no connection with Jinhua Group, and he wasn't that stupid.
So who is he?
Li Ruotai was a little disappointed, and then asked Old Blade again.
Wu Chen emphasized this point, smiling slightly, and said that he knew a lot about Jin Hua and Ding Runlong. Ding Runlong had done things very ruthlessly several times, not wanting to be found to have any connection with her.
They were all hired from outside, and they were all Old Blade.
As Li Ruotai listened and pondered, his eyes slowly widened again. Who had he ever asked Old Blade to kill?
Li Ruotai realized that Ding Ruilong might have asked Old Blade to kill people who shouldn't or couldn't be killed.
Yes, it may not have been Old Blade who did it personally, but Old Blade definitely knows the inside story.
Wu Chen smiled at Li Ruotai, paused for a moment, and then said, "It's time for lunch."
"Hmm, "Li Ruota thought, "I wanted to hear Wu Chen continue, but Wu Chen said, "You can listen in when I talk to the Old Blade about dinner."
Wu Chen smiled faintly again.
Ah, good brother-in-law, definitely.
Li Ruotai composed himself, then quickly stood up and asked, "Brother-in-law, where should we go to eat?"
Order takeout; it's inconvenient to talk outside and it takes up too much time.
Wu Chen said, "Okay, I'll have the hotel send it over."
As Li Ruotai spoke, he took out his phone, saying he wanted to order takeout. However, Li Ruotai incompetent, so he naturally didn't use a takeout app. Instead, he directly called Star-Rated Restaurant that didn't offer takeout services and asked them to prepare the food and deliver it to him.
Li Ruotai went to the side to make a phone call. Li Ruobing had been listening to Wu Chen talking to his younger brother. Seeing his brother's expression, he knew that Wu Chen had succeeded.
Wu Chen didn't try to persuade Li Ruotai at all; he simply made Li Ruotai understand that there were other, better ways, which made Li Ruotai give up his impulsive idea.
In any case, it's better than sending people over to kill them and then being unable to handle the situation.
Li Ruotai quickly finished his call and returned to his seat opposite him.
Sister, I've already called Dad.
Li Ruotai said to Li Ruobing.
Saying this meant she had truly given up her impulse.
Li Ruobing, however, said, "I'll do it."
Li Ruota's expression changed slightly, somewhat surprised, because he knew that his older sister hadn't called their father on her own initiative for several years; it was always their father who called him first.
Li Ruobing took out her phone, quickly dialed, and the call connected almost immediately.
Hey Bingbing, hahaha, my daughter finally called her dad!
Li Maoren's voice came through the phone.
Was he genuinely happy?
Li Ruobing exclaimed before saying that Ding Ruilong had sent people to the East Sea to kill Wu Chen. They were a group of professional assassins hired from overseas, and they almost injured me.
As Wu Chen listened to Li Ruobing speak, he raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but smile.
Li Ruota now understood why his older sister had made that call.
Li Ruobing pinned this blame on Ding Ruilong, and Ding Ruilong couldn't get it off the hook, because all the assassins were dead!
All the eyewitnesses were Li Ruobing's bodyguards, and all the relevant surveillance footage had been destroyed, leaving Ding Ruilong with no way to refute the allegations.
"Uh... "Li Maoren's tone changed abruptly, and he said in a deep voice, "Mingming, how are you?"
Are you alright?
I'm fine; the bodyguard pulled me away in time.
Where are Li Ruobing and Wu Chen?
Li Maoren asked again.
Is everything alright?
Li Ruobing continued.
However, seven people on the other side died. Even though Qiang had come over, Li Ruobing said they were all dead, and even specified the exact number, in order to exaggerate the seriousness of the matter.
The phone suddenly went silent.
A few seconds later, Li Maoren said in a clear voice, "I understand. I will make the Ding Family give me an explanation."
Damn it, Li Maoren, who rarely swears, finally cursed, "Ding Ruilong just called me. He denies that he arranged it, saying that Jiang Chuan, who works by his side, made the decision on his own."
Li Ruobing then said to the beast, "Alright, I'm hanging up now. I'm making a call."
No, no, you need to rest. There are seven people; let A Tai handle it.
Li Maoren cursed again, and then hung up in a hurry.
He will definitely demand an explanation from the Ding Family.
Eager to make a call, Li Ruobing glanced at her phone and quickly dialed another number.
This time, it took more than 10 seconds for the other party to answer.
"Bingbing," came the voice, sounding aged.
Grandpa Li Ruobing greeted him and then called the old man of the Sun Family. He wouldn't call his own grandfather because the old man of the Li Family favored boys over girls, but the old man of the Sun Family was different. In many matters, Li Ruobing's mother was able to protect him.
Li Ruobing's favoritism stemmed from her maternal family; she was the most beloved daughter of the Sun Family patriarch, who also doted on the Sun Family granddaughter. If the marriage between the Li and Ding families hadn't been so complicated, the Sun Family patriarch wouldn't have made things difficult for his granddaughter.
Grandpa, you know Wu Chen, right?
Li Ruobing et al.
Then, she repeated similar words to her maternal grandfather, the old man of the Sun Family, which was to frame her.
Ding Ruilong definitely won't directly take action against him.
But Ding Ruilong is an outsider this time, and he may not be able to completely control the other party. He might go berserk and hurt anyone. In an emergency, he might kill whoever protects Wu Chen, which makes logical sense.
Dad, if someone asks, you know what to say, right?
After hanging up the phone, Li Ruobing looked at Li Ruotai.
Ask.
I understand, I understand, sister. I'll also make sure the bodyguards all stick to the same story.
Li Ruotai immediately spoke, and even raised his hand to give Li Ruobing a thumbs-up.
Although Li Ruobing only made two phone calls, they were enough to make Ding Ruilong bleed a lot of money.
Ding Ruilong will not only face severe punishment from his family, but the family influence he can mobilize may also be limited for some time to come.
More importantly, Jiang Chuan, Ding Ruilong's most capable right-hand man, is definitely going to die.
Someone always has to step up and take responsibility.
Around 1 p. m., Wu Chen, having eaten takeout, drove away from Prestige East Sea Residence to meet Song Xuan.
The two agreed to meet at Pure Café in the Central District.
Half an hour later, Wu Chen drove into Prosperity South Road, where Qingchun Cafe is located, and saw a black Volkswagen minivan parked on the side of the road outside Pure Café, looking very low-key.
Upon seeing the car, Wu Chen instinctively smiled.
They've arrived, just as expected.
Wu Chen recognized the car, and even more so, he recognized its owner: it was the vehicle driven by Song Xuan's mother, Wu Yurong's, bodyguard.
For many years, Wu Yurong had been secretly sending people to protect her mentally ill daughter, including some of Song Xuan's close friends. Song Xuan, who had been bribed by Wu Yurong, was completely unaware of this.
Wu Chen parked in front of the coffee shop, got out, tidied up her makeup, and then glanced at the black van parked a few meters away as if by subconsciousness. She then walked into the coffee shop with a smile on her face.
Inside the van, just as Wu Ting entered the coffee shop, the masked man in the passenger seat quickly picked up his camera and snapped a picture of Wu Chen's back.
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
