The rich man on the run: The gangster is so hard to get rid of

When Shen Peizhi woke up early the next morning, the pillow next to him was empty and the quilt was cold. It was obvious that Ling Tang had been gone for a long time.

After Shen Peizhi washed up, he went downstairs.

Uncle Lian happened to be training the new servants. When he saw him coming down, he immediately went to greet him.

"Sir, my wife just went out. Let me tell you that we won't have breakfast at home."

Shen Peizhi rubbed his eyebrows and looked unhappy, "Did she say where she was going?"

"..." Uncle Lian hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Today is Mrs. Qin's death anniversary."

Shen Pei was stunned, and a dark color quickly flashed across his eyes.

While having breakfast, Shen Peizhi received a call from Su Lan.

"Boss, next Wednesday is the engagement ceremony of Mr. Zhong's granddaughter. Mrs. Zhong has sent an invitation. I want to confirm whether you want to attend."

Shen Peizhi's answer was concise and to the point, "Participate and prepare a gift for me."

"Ok."

Shen Peizhi hesitated for a moment and then said, "Also, help my wife choose a suitable evening dress, and she will accompany me to attend."

Su Lan on the other end of the phone was a little surprised. Shen Peizhi had never brought Ling Tang to any business banquets and banquets in the past two years.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Peizhi picked up the mouth towel in front of him, wiped the corners of his lips, and glanced at Uncle Lian standing next to him, "Get the car ready and go to the Ling family villa."

Every year on this day, Ling Tang would go to the Ling family villa and get drunk, and then he would go to the Ling family to pick her up.

Two years ago, not long after Shen Peizhi and Ling Tang returned to China, Qin Shuya jumped from the top floor of the Ling family villa. After being sent to the hospital, rescue efforts failed and she was pronounced dead by the doctor.

Since then, Ling Xiao, who lost his beloved wife, was depressed and no longer wanted to manage the Ling Group. He sold the shares of the Ling Group to Shen Peizhi at a very low price.

After selling the Ling family, Ling Xiao took Ling Nian and Ling Xiang away to England and never came back.

He had no way of knowing the reason why Qin Shuya committed suicide, but it must have something to do with her false identity.

There was no one in the Ling family villa.

This single-family villa located halfway up the mountain was already sparsely populated. After being uninhabited, it seemed even more lonely and deserted.

Lingtang took out the key and opened the door. Those expensive and famous trees had long lost their original charm because they had grown wild due to no one taking care of them.

The fountain no longer sprayed water. There were many fallen leaves in the pool, which seemed to have been blown in by the wind. A thick layer of ash fell on the wall of the pool.

The place where Ling Tang lived since childhood seems to have become a haunted house.

Lingtang opened the door and walked in. There was no sunshine in the winter morning, and the room was deserted.

She turned on the lights. In the children's play area in the living room, there were still toys that Nian Nian and Xiang Xiang often played with, and next to them was the Christmas tree they had decorated together.

Things in the world are impermanent and fate plays tricks on people. Lingtang is deeply aware of this.

She couldn't imagine what kind of thing could make Qin Shuya abandon her brother and two children, risk her own death, and jump from the top floor of the villa.

She took out two bottles of red wine from the wine cabinet and found two red wine glasses. After cleaning them, she sat on the sofa in the living room and filled them up for herself.

Over the past two years, her drinking began to improve.

Lingtang had never drank before, but gradually she found that alcohol was the most paralyzing to herself.

She took out her cell phone and dialed Ling Xiao's number. The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

Does her brother still refuse to answer her call?

She picked up the glass, drank it all, and then dialed it again...

In this cycle, after four or five glasses of wine, her head began to feel dizzy.

When Shen Peizhi found her, she was lying on the sofa. There was an empty wine bottle on the floor, and there was half a glass of unfinished red wine on the coffee table.

She lay quietly on the sofa, breathing evenly, and her cheeks on both sides were flushed.

There was her mobile phone on the coffee table. Ling Xiao picked it up and entered the lock screen password. On the interface was the call history. She made sixteen calls to Ling Xiao.

The gloomy look in Shen Peizhi's eyes became more and more obvious.

But besides being angry, I was also distressed.

The people he sent to England would report to him the movements of Ling Xiao and the children from time to time, but he would not tell Ling Tang about these movements.

Ling Xiao now teaches at a university and has become a well-known professor in the local Chinese circle.

For Ling Xiao, this may be his best choice.

Shen Peizhi reached out and was about to pick her up and take her home. As soon as he touched her shoulder, he suddenly heard her tender and crying voice.

"Si Guanyu..."

Shen Pei paused his hand and his expression turned cold instantly.

Lingtang had a dream. In the dream, she went back to high school.

The teacher was in class, a math class, and there was something written on the blackboard that she couldn't understand.

Ling Tang is not as smart as Ling Xiao, and the class he hates the most is math class. Those obscure numbers, combined with various formulas, are like deadly curses.

The screen turned and it was time for the exam again.

Si Guanyu sat behind her and poked her spine with a pen, "Answer, give me the answer later, Lingtang."

She was doing a question, and was so annoyed by Si Guanyu behind her that she couldn't think. She turned her head and looked at him angrily, "Si Guanyu, please don't bother me, okay?"

The scene changed again, Si Guanyu was lying on the ground, covered in blood, looking at her with big eyes full of hatred.

"Lingtang, I hate you. It's all you who hurt me. Give me back my life..."

Then, a pair of hands pinched her neck, and she couldn't breathe...

When she woke up, she was covered in cold sweat.

The sound of typing on the keyboard came to her ears. She opened her eyes drowsily, turned her head and saw Shen Peizhi's face.

Shen Peizhi was sitting at his desk, operating the computer with a serious face.

Her head hurt, the heating in the room was turned on, and she found herself lying on the sofa with a blanket covering her body.

She pushed herself up and rubbed her temples to relieve the pain in her head.

When she opened her eyes again, Shen Peizhi was already standing in front of her.

Her hand was pulled down, and Shen Peizhi sat down next to her, let her lie in his arms, and reached out to rub her temples.

His fingers were cool and comfortable, and Ling Tang closed his eyes again.

Shen Peizhi asked in a deep voice, "Did you just have a nightmare?"

"No."

Lingtang believed that he did not have the habit of talking in his sleep, so he denied it.

Shen Peizhi did not expose her and smiled without saying a word.

"In two days, accompany me to an engagement party."

Ling Tang was a little surprised. He opened his eyes and looked at Shen Peizhi, as if he wanted to confirm whether he was joking.

You know, Shen Peizhi never takes her to these banquets, and she doesn't like to attend either.

But his tone clearly wasn't discussing with her.

Ling Tang was a little curious as to whose engagement party it was that he could invite the big boss Shen Peizhi to, "Whose engagement party is it?"

If he hadn't seen the invitation Su Lan put on his desk, Shen Peizhi wouldn't have known whose engagement party it was.

"Granddaughter of Mr. Zhong, I am planning to open up a new market recently. Mr. Zhong's company is a leader in this industry. If we can cooperate with him, we will get twice the result with half the effort."

Lingtang didn't know Mr. Zhong, so she hummed lightly and responded to Shen Peizhi.

"But do you know who Miss Zhong's fiancé is?"

Ling Tang asked him, "Do I need to know?"

Shen Peizhi smiled hoarsely, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Of course it is necessary, after all, he almost became your fiancé."

Lingtang fell silent.

When Shen Peizhi saw this, he sneered and said the name for her, "Si Guanyu."
