Wei Guangshun's office was filled with a tense atmosphere.
He did not choose to call the police; Lei Huanxi knew this as soon as he entered. This Director Wei was clearly planning to avenge his nephew.
A total of four security guards stood in the office, each holding a rubber baton.
"Speak up, how did you injure someone?" Wei Guangshun took out a notebook, as if he were a police officer interrogating a suspect.
"Director Wei, it was Jiang Bin who first pulled out a knife to hurt someone," Lei Huanxi replied calmly. "Many people who were present saw it."
"Nonsense!" Wei Guangshun slammed his desk. "You say Jiang Bin was trying to hurt someone? Why was he the one who got injured? Lei Huanxi, I warn you, be honest with me. Confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be dealt with strictly!"
Lei Huanxi smiled. "Such matters should be handled by the police, right?"
"This is my territory, and I'll decide when to hand it over to the police." Wei Guangshun pushed aside the notebook, stood up, and took a rubber baton from one of the security guards, repeatedly tapping it in his palm.
First, I'll beat this kid until he's bloody and broken. At the very least, I'll break one of his legs.
Jiang Bin is my sister's precious child. If he gets hurt in the flower and bird market under my responsibility, my sister and brother-in-law will definitely blame me.
I have to beat Lei Huanxi up, cripple him, to calm my sister's anger...
...
"Call the police quickly." At the flower and bird market, Annie, worried that Lei Huanxi might be at a disadvantage, quickly took out her phone.
But before she could dial, a call came in.
It was an unknown number. Annie, impatient, answered, "Who is it?"
"Hello, I'm a friend of Lei Huanxi. Please don't call the police for now. Lei Huanxi did hurt someone, and if the Jiang family gets involved, it could cause him some trouble. I'll handle this, Miss Annie. Please trust me."
"Who are you?"
"You'll find out soon enough..."
...
"Director, there's a call."
"Whose call? Tell him I'm busy now."
The security guard who answered the call leaned in and whispered something in Wei Guangshun's ear. Wei Guangshun's expression changed, and he put down the rubber baton he had raised.
Lei Huanxi didn't know what was happening.
In any case, Wei Guangshun didn't take any further action, neither beating him nor asking him any more questions.
The office was strangely silent.
After about 20 minutes, someone knocked on the office door: "Director Wei, hello."
Brother Jun? Lei Huanxi almost doubted his eyes.
Brother Jun, the husband of Yan Jie—He Jianjun!
Wearing wire-rimmed glasses and dressed in casual clothes, he looked refined: "Director Wei, am I disturbing you?"
"Brother Jun, why are you here?" Wei Guangshun's attitude changed immediately, becoming extremely polite. "Please sit, please sit. I'll get you some tea."
He Jianjun sat down and smiled at Lei Huanxi, but didn't say much.
"Brother Jun, please have some tea," Wei Guangshun said respectfully. "I just received a call saying you were coming. I thought they were joking."
"Nothing much, I haven't seen you in a long time, so I came to visit." He Jianjun always seemed so courteous. "Director Wei, I have a small favor to ask."
"Please, please, as long as I can help, I will do my best."
"Thank you in advance." He Jianjun glanced at the steaming tea, then his gaze returned to Wei Guangshun. "It's like this, Lei Huanxi is my friend, a very good friend. I heard he had a conflict with your nephew. Well, young people fight and get a bit bloody, it's not a big deal. I'll give your nephew 20,000 yuan for nutrition, and you won't pursue it further, okay?"
When He Jianjun offered to help Lei Huanxi, Wei Guangshun felt conflicted.
He Jianjun wasn't in a hurry. He picked up the cup of tea, blew on it, and took a sip.
"Brother Jun, it's not that I don't want to give you face," Wei Guangshun said cautiously. "You know, Ah Bin is my sister and brother-in-law's precious child. He got injured, and I can't explain it to them. How about this, I'll make Lei Huanxi bleed a bit, and we'll call it even... Ah!"
A scream came from Wei Guangshun's mouth as he clutched his face and cried out in pain.
He Jianjun poured the entire cup of tea onto his face.
Fortunately, the water had cooled somewhat, but it was still scalding hot.
Lei Huanxi watched everything, never expecting such a refined and polite person like He Jianjun to do such a thing.
The security guards were also stunned, but none of them dared to intervene, just watching Wei Guangshun's cries helplessly.
He Jianjun stood up, walked to the side, took out a tea can, put some tea leaves in the cup, poured in hot water, and then sat back down, still speaking in a very polite tone:
"Director Wei, I don't often ask for favors, and it's rare for me to ask you for one and be refused. Let's negotiate again. The conditions have changed. No nutrition fee, and I still want to take him away. Director Wei, what do you think?" He Jianjun picked up the cup, blew on it, and took a sip.
Wei Guangshun put down his hand, his face red and swollen. Seeing He Jianjun's action, he involuntarily took a step back: "Brother Jun, whatever you say, take Lei Huanxi away, take him away."
"What about the fact that he injured your nephew?" He Jianjun wasn't in a hurry.
"It was just a fall, nothing to do with Lei Huanxi." Wei Guangshun seemed terrified of the man in front of him. "I'll explain it to my sister and brother-in-law."
"If your brother-in-law has any objections, tell him it was me, He Jianjun, who asked him." He Jianjun finally stood up, extended his hand. "Director Wei, thank you. I'll take him away."
Wei Guangshun, trembling with fear, shook his hand and watched helplessly as He Jianjun took Lei Huanxi away.
"Director Wei..."
"Get out, get out!" In front of his subordinates, Wei Guangshun finally exploded, driving the security guards out and closing the office door. He dialed a number: "Brother-in-law, Ah Bin had an incident here. The situation is like this..."
"Lei Huanxi? Where is he now?"
"He was taken away by someone."
"Taken away? You idiot, Ah Bin's hand was broken, and you let him go?"
"Brother-in-law, it was He Jianjun who took him away."
There was silence on the other end of the line.
After a long pause, the voice asked: "What's the relationship between He Jianjun and Lei Huanxi?"
"I don't know, he didn't say, and I didn't ask."
"Never mind, He Jianjun personally got involved, so Lei Huanxi must have a special relationship with him. We're doing legitimate business now, not like before. It's not worth it to provoke He Jianjun. This time, it's a lesson for Ah Bin, to teach him not to be so arrogant. Send him to play out of town for a few days, and bring him back when he's healed. Don't let my sister know."
"Okay, Brother-in-law, I'll take care of it right away."
After hanging up, Wei Guangshun slumped into his chair, only then realizing he was drenched in sweat...
...
Sitting in Annie's car, Lei Huanxi was still confused.
What kind of person is He Jianjun? A refined and polite man, but with such a ruthless hand.
Why did Wei Guangshun seem so afraid of him, like a rat seeing a cat?
At the flower and bird market, he had indeed been a bit impulsive, almost causing trouble. Jiang Bin was backed by the Xihai Group.
As for himself, he had no power or influence.
But why did He Jianjun appear so timely? It couldn't be a coincidence.
Was he monitoring him?
Lei Huanxi couldn't figure it out.
He had only helped his wife get her bag back.
When they left Wei Guangshun's office, Lei Huanxi wanted to ask for an explanation, but He Jianjun didn't let him, only saying not to forget the dinner tonight.
Then he got into his own car and left.
It was a very ordinary car, probably worth no more than 100,000 yuan, and quite old. From this, it was hard to associate He Jianjun with a wealthy person.
"Annie, do you know someone named He Jianjun?" Lei Huanxi asked, not very hopeful.
"He Jianjun? Who is he?" As expected, Annie's answer was the same as he had guessed. "I don't know him. What business does he do?"
"I don't know either." Lei Huanxi smiled bitterly. "But he helped me just now. If it weren't for him, I might have..."
Before he could finish, Annie "shushed" and pressed the Bluetooth earpiece. "Dad? Yes, I just left the flower and bird market. You're looking for Lei Huanxi? Wait a moment."
She handed the Bluetooth earpiece to Lei Huanxi. "My dad is looking for you."
Zhu Guoxu is looking for me? Lei Huanxi put on the earpiece hesitantly. "Mr. Zhu, hello."
"Huanxi, I just heard you caused some trouble at the flower and bird market. This matter has nothing to do with me, but I heard you know He Jianjun?"
How did the news spread so fast? Lei Huanxi hesitated. "We just met recently..."
"Just met?" It was clear Zhu Guoxu didn't believe him. "He Jianjun rarely gets personally involved. If your relationship isn't special, why would he show up?"
"Mr. Zhu, we really just met recently." Lei Huanxi briefly explained what happened.
Zhu Gu
