Chapter 48 Pei Yanning

But now——

Lingxi watched the other person fall not far from her, and the straight-line distance between them was only five or six meters at most.

The man was so light that he landed on the dead leaves on the ground, making almost no sound. After he landed, he slowly straightened his clothes and raised his eyes to focus on himself.

Lingxi: “…”

What, what are you doing? She was a little panicked.

Lingxi's white and tender fingertips had already moved to the small mechanism of the wooden bracelet. She silently took a step back, as if she was ready to turn around and run away at any time.

Pei Yanning saw the expression and movements on Lingxi's face clearly. His gaze paused for a moment on the watch inlaid with diamonds on Lingxi's wrist, and a helpless smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

He opened his arms, smiling, and was about to give his precious daughter a hug after a long separation, but he saw the little girl's hand gently press on him.

Something came out of nowhere.

Pei Yanning was not on guard against Lingxi and grabbed her.

The tiny particles of the drug exploded the moment they touched his hand, and Pei Yanning was dazed for a moment.

Then, a feeling of dizziness came over me.

Pei Yanning: “…”

!!!

He opened his mouth, but was powerless and for a moment he didn't have the strength to speak.

Pei Yanning had no choice but to lean back against the tree trunk. When he looked at Lingxi, his expression was full of indulgence and helplessness.

His body is resistant to drugs, and ordinary drugs can't do anything to him. Lingxi's drug was specially made by Gu Si. After Pei Yanning was taken, although he didn't faint immediately, he lost his ability to move for a while.

He planned to hold on until this wave came.

However, Ling Xi did not give him a chance to speak. Seeing that he did not fall, she pressed his wrist twice, and two small particles of sleeping pills exploded around Pei Yanning. Then she turned and ran.

Ah, this person...

So beautiful!

Every move he made was lazy and casual...

Still think it looks good!

Why does she think that someone she has met once but never seen his face is good-looking?
Lingxi was puzzled but did not waste any time, she moved quickly on her short legs.

Pei Yanning: “…”

!!!

He watched the little girl run away, his beautiful eyes filled with shock.

Eh?
A handsome young man in his early twenties walked out from the darkness. His name was Xi Moting, nicknamed Lao Hei, and he was Pei Yanning's partner.

Seeing Pei Yanning's weak appearance, he laughed out loud in an unkind way.

"Haha, Lao Pei, it's so rare to see you, but you're defeated!

Ahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter.

Someone throws a hidden weapon at you, and you reach out to catch it...

Ahahahahaha, this joke can make me laugh for a whole year."

Lao Hei stood aside and watched the fun, with no intention of going forward.

Pei Yanning was hit, he was no match for Pei Yanning, and if it was his turn, he would probably faint on the spot.

Pei Yanning looked at Lingxi with a doting gaze until she disappeared. Then he withdrew his gaze and lazily glanced at Lao Hei, who was still laughing.

He was magnanimous and didn't bother with him, but just nodded proudly.

He still had no strength at the moment, but after a short break, it didn't prevent him from speaking.

"You are worthy of being my baby. This action, this alertness..." He looked at Lao Hei with disdain: "A single dog like you who hasn't even found a wife yet, will never understand the heart of an old father like me."

Lao Hei: "..."

!!!

Heartbroken!
It's not normal for a man in his twenties like Pei Yanning to have a daughter that old!
Who, at such a young age and unmarried, would adopt a niece who is almost an adult as his daughter?
But, that little girl just now... was really pretty!

Realizing what he was thinking, Lao Hei shook his head violently. What kind of ghost story was that? That person clearly had the same face as Pei Yanning.

Tsk!
Pei Yanning took a few moments to slow down, but still couldn't move. He was extremely surprised at the effect of Lingxi's drug.

He beat himself...

I've never come across a medicine like this.

However, he was already in this state. If it were someone else, they would probably faint within two seconds.

He didn't show it, just lazily leaning against the tree trunk and continued to ask slowly: "Why did you come here? Didn't you go back to the capital for the holiday?
Is there any progress over there, so they called you back?"

Lao Hei also looked serious and nodded: "Yes, we followed the tunnel and found the entrance. I've checked it out. You can go back and take a look. If it works, we have to go in."

Pei Yanning nodded casually and said "hmm" to indicate that he understood.

This matter is important, but it is not necessary for Lao Hei to come here in person. He came here just to join in the fun and satisfy his curiosity.

If it was urgent, he wouldn't be so slow.

Lao Hei was not embarrassed at all that he was seen through. He showed off to Pei Yanning: "Did you see the watch your daughter was wearing just now..."

Pei Yanning nodded. It was worthy of his choice. His daughter looked so good in it!

Lao Hei laughed proudly.

“I sent it over, haha.

A few days ago when we were in the mountains, you said you didn’t know whether the watch had arrived.

When I got back, I saw the watch lying in your office gathering dust, and Xiao Chen said it had been there for about a month.

I thought that I didn't know when you would be able to come back, so I decided to send it to your daughter.

By the way, I also exchanged a few tickets, the ones with three turns and one ring. It would be very prestigious for any family to have one. Your daughter will definitely like it.

Oh, right!

Your bonus for the last mission has also been issued, I sent it over as well."

Lao Hei felt that his arrangement was perfect.

Sometimes when Pei Yanning is too busy, he will ask Lao Hei to help mail packages and remittance slips, so Lao Hei is very familiar with it.

Pei Yanning: “…”

"Thank you!"

He had originally wanted to give the watch to his baby personally!

He hasn't been back for many years, so he wants to coax the little girl.

Lao Hei didn't detect Pei Yanning's sarcasm. He shook the small package in his hand and threw it to Pei Yanning.

This is the reason why he dared to come here.

"Your daughter sent it to you. I saw it at the post office when I came back and intercepted it."

He had everything planned out. If Pei Yanning got angry with him when he came over, he would fight back with the package.

Pei Yanning became interested. Now he could barely move. He reached out and caught the package. He slowly walked out of the circle of drugs and opened the package.

There was only a bag of candy in the package, and a note inside, which read:

Wedding candy, return gift.

A smile flashed across Pei Yanning's eyes. Well, his daughter was so thoughtful. Whenever there was a wedding at home, she would know to send some wedding candies to her old father.

He grabbed a handful and threw it towards Lao Hei.

A handful of candies were thrown all over the sky, and Lao Hei was very skillful, not a single candy fell to the ground.

Pei Yanning looked back at the yard next door, and smiled with his eyes curved: "It should be my second nephew's wedding. Let's eat and share in the good luck."

After some calculations, he thought Pei Yu was the most likely candidate, as he was already in his twenties.
