Xia Ling said, “Sincere? Well then, I don’t understand. I’m also sincerely trying to find a place for her to work. Uncle Qian, don’t tell me that you want to intervene in how the Li Family organizes their staff?”

She said those words too sternly, and Qian Dafu could only say, “How could I intervene in the Li Family’s affairs?”

Xia Ling smiled. “It is settled then. She will be working in the stables.”

Qian Dafu felt frustration build in his chest.

Suddenly, the singer lifted her head and looked at Li Lei fearlessly. “Second Young Master Li, I’m willing to serve you.”

Since she couldn’t deal with the mistress of the family, she would have to settle with the head of the family. She didn’t believe that this man would be able to resist her charm. She walked a few steps in Li Lei’s direction, revealing her delicate lips, beautiful neck, and white chest. Her eyes were filled with tears and sorrow.

Hearing her voice, Li Lei was about to explode—the bruise on his thigh was slightly painful.

Between the beauty and Xiao Ling, he would definitely choose Xiao Ling. Thus, he expressionlessly said, “Slap her.”

Immediately after he spoke, a subordinate from the Li Family walked up and slapped the singer twice. Bam! Bam! She was hit twice harshly in front of everyone. Blood dripped from her lips and her cheeks were as swollen as a pig’s.

Qian Dafu’s face turned ghastly pale. “Second Young Master Li! You should give us some face!”

Xia Ling viciously interrupted. “She did not even give me any face. Why should I show her any respect?!”

The other bigshots there felt that what she said was very reasonable, and some even nodded silently.

Qian Dafu wished he could rip this interfering woman into pieces. In a rigid voice, he said, “Miss Ye, I gave you someone who could serve you with good intentions. Ah Jiao was also respectful to you as she even knelt when you asked her to. Why couldn’t you at least not humiliate her?!” He could only resort to sophistry to justify himself.

The group of people scorned him in their hearts. By giving them this beautiful woman, you were never showing them any respect in the first place!

However, something like that was never good to say aloud.

Xia Ling was lazy and calm. “Did you hear what I just said? When her master is talking, servants should not interrupt. However, what about her? She knew that but still rebelled! Uncle Qian, it’s ok to give us a servant, but can you please choose someone better? Someone like that who doesn’t even respect the rules is useless! Should I feed her to the sharks for fun?!”

Li Lei looked at her indulgently. “You want to feed the sharks for fun? Tomorrow, I will take you there.”

Xia Ling smiled slyly at the singer.

This time, the singer was really scared. This was the first time she felt that her life was in the hands of this petite girl. She couldn’t help but tremble and beg. “Don’t…”

This time, Li Lei’s subordinate slapped her twice again without Li Lei’s instructions.

Xia Ling shook her head and sighed. “Your master already said to not interrupt. Why haven’t you learned anything?”

Qian Dafu’s face was flushed with anger. She was a singer and entertained people in their rooms. How could she abide by the rules to please others like an ordinary servant? Furthermore, if Xia Ling weren’t aggressive, Ah Jiao would not have randomly spoken. However, he couldn’t say those words directly and secretly endured.

Li Lei looked at Qian Dafu. “Are you feeling sorry for her?”

Startled, Qian Dafu quickly said, “I wouldn’t dare. Ah Jiao is blessed that Miss Ye is willing to teach her and acknowledge her.” No matter what, Xia Ling already accepted Ah Jiao as her servant, so he wanted Ah Jiao to just enter the Li Family. Even though the conditions at the start were more difficult than he imagined, with Ah Jiao’s beauty and charm, the situation would improve sooner or later.

With this thought, Qian Dafu became more optimistic.

Li Lei slowly got up from his seat. “I’m someone who doesn’t have a lot of bottom lines.” He said. “However, coincidentally, Xiao Ling is one.” He walked over to the back of his chair, took the gun from Li Xiaoyao’s hands, and aimed it at Ah Jiao.

Qian Dafu and everyone present gasped.

Qian Dafu asked, “Second Young Master Li, what are you doing?!” It was not easy for him to cultivate a spy. How could she die before she even infiltrated the Li Family?!

Ah Jiao laid on the ground and widened her eyes at Li Lei. She was scared to death. After a few seconds, she started crying and kowtowing to Li Lei. “Second Young Master Li, I beg you. Spare my life!”

Li Lei’s voice was low. “Anyone who offends Xiao Ling will not have a good ending.”

After saying that, he turned the pistol away from Ah Jiao and aimed it at Qian Dafu. Before anyone could react, a gunshot was heard. Qian Dafu fell to the ground with a pool of blood forming around his head and splashing onto the table and walls.

The women started to scream. A cowardly one even crouched on the floor. Ah Jiao also screamed and fainted. The men did not look very good. Part of Qian Dafu’s brain splashed into a large bowl and one man at the table vomited.

“Second Young Master Li, what are you doing?!” A bigshot leaned over, tried to feel if Qian Dafu was still breathing, and asked in shock.

Li Lei returned the pistol to Li Xiaoyao. He took a white towel from the waiter and wiped his hands calmly. Without even batting an eyelash, he said, “You can cross me, but you can’t cross Xiao Ling.”

When Wang Long offended him, he only killed two of his subordinates.

When Qian Dafu offended Xiao Ling, he killed Qian Dafu himself.

Everyone present was as silent as cicadas in late autumn. It turned out that this woman was more important to Second Young Master Li than they thought. At once, they started to look at Xia Ling with panic-stricken looks.

If one should know, Qian Dafu was not a small fry but a really powerful man!

He was gone just like that.

Second Young Master Li was really daring!

Even Xia Ling was frightened and almost couldn’t maintain her elegant and calm expression. Her lips slightly turned white. Even though she already knew that he was from the triad and never innocently thought that he was clean, witnessing him actually kill someone was really baffling to her.

The impact was too big.

Li Lei returned to his seat and held Xia Ling in his arms in front of everyone. He kissed her forehead and softly said, “Don’t be afraid. He has committed his full share of crimes and deserved to die.”

Xia Ling’s heart palpitated. She shrunk in his arms and lightly tilted her head to avoid the gazes of others. She placed her cheek on his chest for a long time before finally calming down.

All of the triad leaders and women in the room did not look good.

A few waiters silently stepped forward and removed the cups and dishes that were stained with blood and brains. They quickly replaced them. Soon, the only thing remaining from the shooting just now was the mottled blood on the white tablecloth.

Li Lei looked unperturbed and gestured to the crowd. “Everyone please continue to eat. Don’t waste the excellent wine and food.”
