Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

”Brother Qi Li, you’re too kind. I’m gambling everything on this one...”

Lie She was a bit embarrassed and politely said, ”The tunnel is about to be completed, and transporting goods won’t be as convenient as now. So, I thought I’d bring more to avoid keeping Brother Qi waiting...”

As he spoke, he slipped the backpack off his shoulder and handed it to Qi Li.

The concept of exchanging money for goods quickly is always safer than dragging things out for too long.

Lie She also feared more trouble, so he hastened the process considerably.

”Boss Lie She, you seem a bit anxious today. Is there something urgent?”

Qi Li joked, but he had no intention of reaching out to take the goods.

Instead, he leisurely took out a cigarette and lit it.

His movements were slow, making it impossible for others to discern his thoughts.

”How could there be trouble? The matters of the Eldest Young Master are the most important. Everything else is secondary...”

Lie She felt a chill in his heart, silently thought that this was not good, and then quickly changed the subject, saying, ”Oh, Brother Qi Li, I forgot to ask the Eldest Young Master earlier, once this tunnel is completed, how are we going to transport the goods...”

As a drug lord, the greatest concern was the safety of transporting goods.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what Lie She said.

However, saying it at this moment seemed a little too suspicious.

”Hahaha...” Qi Li’s triangular eyes drooped as a cold laugh escaped him, saying, ”So Boss Lie She still plans on transporting goods? I thought once the tunnel was open, you’d turn over a new leaf and quit this business!”

”This, how could that be...” Lie She’s whole body broke into a cold sweat, and almost instantly, he hurriedly said, ”Even though it might be a bit more dangerous to transport goods in the future, if the Eldest Young Master needs them, how can I not deliver? Even if I have to risk my life, I must ensure the Eldest Young Master’s interests...”

”It’s good that you still think about the Eldest Young Master. I really should thank you on his behalf,” Qi Li said after taking a drag of his cigarette, blowing a dense cloud of smoke in Lie She’s face. Then he casually lifted a finger to glance at the backpack in Lie She’s hand.

The scar-faced brother behind him understood Qi Li’s intention instantly, decisively walked over, took the heavy package, checked it without saying a word, and returned to his original position.

Lie She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his heart, which had been in turmoil, finally settled.

Now that Qi Li has accepted the goods, it means he temporarily trusts him and will continue to transport goods. As long as they maintain this greed, it will give Lie She plenty of time to escape abroad with the money and live as an ordinary person.

He had enough of living on the edge, licking blood from the dagger, and enduring the daily caution and anxiety that normal people couldn’t bear.

If he could, Lie She now longed for a home in which he could live peacefully and happily, enjoying the quiet days of his later years.

Lie She’s mind was filled with dreams and excitement for the future.

However, this idea of his did not last long before it was shattered.

”Brother Lie She, this time transporting the goods was risky. The Eldest Young Master knows it wasn’t easy for you, so he gave you a little extra this time.”

Qi Li took another puff of his cigarette, and the scar-faced brother behind him already brought out a black suitcase and handed it to Lie She.
