Chapter 12 Mysterious Noises
Chen Ming's gaze was fixed on the Honda Accord parked at the entrance of the construction site.
It belonged to Li Pingping's father, Li Li!
Why was he here?
Could Li Pingping be here as well?
Without hesitation, Chen Ming opened the car door and stepped out.
"Chen Ming, what's going on?"
Seeing this, Su Ziting quickly parked the car on the side of the road.
She then followed Chen Ming towards the entrance of the construction site.
"You don't have to come with me."
Chen Ming stopped and tried to persuade Su Ziting to go back.
"I'm worried about you."
Su Ziting grabbed Chen Ming's hand and said this without hesitation.
Chen Ming's impulsive feelings instantly subsided.
That's right!
He couldn't act impulsively!
Whatever Li Pingping and Jiang Chong had done to him, he would make sure to pay them back a thousandfold!
"I just saw Li Pingping's father, Li Li's car."
Chen Ming pointed to the Honda Accord nearby.
"Are you planning to confront her father?"
Su Ziting was taken aback.
"I just want to confirm if they are here," Chen Ming shook his head, "confronting them directly would be giving them too much credit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Li's voice echoed from the construction site.
Chen Ming pulled Su Ziting and quickly hid to the side.
"Xiao Chong, I've inspected the villa you purchased for me, there are only a few issues, but we'll need to buy furniture which will be quite costly!"
"If you're buying it for me, then I'll accept it!"
"You're truly a great son-in-law!"
Li Li hung up the phone and walked out of the construction site with a smug expression.
Chen Ming saw him preparing to get into the car, so he swiftly picked up a small stone and aimed it at his waist.
"Huh?"
Li Li suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back.
He turned around to look behind him.
Seeing nothing, he muttered to himself and got into the car.
"What did you just do?"
Su Ziting asked curiously.
"I didn't do anything," Chen Ming said calmly with a smile, "Let's go."
"Then let's go pick herbs now!"
Su Ziting pointed to the high mountain slope ahead.
...
After ending the call, Jiang Chong instructed his men to buy furniture for Li Li.
"Xiaochong, have you seen our father?"
Jiang Hua entered in a black suit.
"He said he's going out to meet a client, probably won't be back until tonight."
Jiang Chong quickly replied.
"What about our younger sister?"
Jiang Hua nodded and continued to ask.
"She and her friends went to try on wedding dresses," Jiang Chong said with a smile, "It seems that big brother, you have already approved Pingping, huh!"
"If Dad approves, how can I not approve?"
Jiang Hua said helplessly.
"Haha, big brother, just call Dad directly if you have something to say!"
Jiang Chong took out the car keys.
"I'm going to pick up my custom suit now."
"Okay."
Jiang Hua nodded.
After Jiang Chong left, he called his father, Jiang Huaihai.
"Hello?"
"Dad?"
Jiang Hua frowned at the voice on the other end of the phone.
"Um, do you need something?"
"I want to discuss some company matters with you. If you're busy, we can talk later tonight!" Jiang Hua said.
"Okay."
Click!
The phone was hung up directly.
"What is he so busy with?" Jiang Hua muttered as he left his brother's office.
At the same time.
On a grassy slope in the west of Chengjiazhuang Village.
A man and a woman were lying side by side on the ground, breathing heavily.
Jiang Huaihai threw his phone aside, then reached out and pinched hard.
"Ouch, you're hurting me!" Li Pingping complained.
"Didn't it feel uncomfortable just now?" Jiang Huaihai smirked. "Besides, won't it swell even more if I pinch it harder?"
"Aren't you worried about your son discovering this?" Li Pingping blushed and pouted as she leaned in closer.
"How about I give you a massage to help with the swelling? Maybe it will go down in an hour. Let me demonstrate my massage skills to you." Jiang Huaihai smirked and gently pressed Li Pingping down again.
"You're so persistent~" Li Pingping resisted, but also welcomed the gesture.
...
Chen Ming and Su Ziting climbed up the western slope using a narrow path.
After searching for a while, they finally came across a Tranquil Ling Flower plant.
"Chen Ming, look over there, what is that?" Su Ziting suddenly pointed to a grassy area below the halfway point of the slope.
Chen Ming's eyes lit up with a purple glow as he gazed ahead.
"Is it really her?" Chen Ming's face, which was previously puzzled, suddenly lit up with excitement!
