Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 248 Informant_1

"Sir,"

Just as Xiao Ming and Gu Zhimeng were sharing their jelly with their heads close together, the driver, Xiao Li, suddenly spoke up, "The car behind us is tailing us."

Xiao Ming turned to look back and saw an inconspicuous black Toyota and asked, "For how long?"

"Five minutes. It appeared suddenly after we passed the last intersection."

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Ming let out a wry smile, "Pull over."

Xiao Li complied, slowed down, and pulled over to the side of the road. The black Toyota also gradually stopped about seven or eight meters away, its door opened, and out stepped a woman—Ding Jianwei.

"Mengmeng, uncle is going to have a few words with the auntie behind us. You wait here in the car like a good girl and don’t eat my snacks, okay?"

"Then you better be quick!" Gu Zhimeng giggled mischievously, "If it takes too long, I can’t guarantee they won’t decrease."

"Clever little imp!"

Pinching the girl’s nose, Xiao Ming got out of the car and walked towards the back.

"How little do you trust me that you have to come and keep an eye on me yourself?"

Ding Jianwei’s expression was icy, "To earn someone’s trust, you at least have to be trustworthy."

"Have I ever gone back on my word?"

"Then explain to me, why, just to vent anger on a child, twenty-nine members of the Lu Family are crippled and five disfigured?"

"Wait, aren’t you mistaken? I remember there should be twenty-seven people crippled, and one disfigured, right?"

"Does it make a difference?"

Ding Jianwei grabbed Xiao Ming by the collar, almost nose to nose with him in anger, "The Lu Family has operated in Lingnan for many years, rooted in every corner, with a good reputation. When many big shots talk about them, they nod in approval.

Do you know what this implies?

In front of such a family, flaunting your power with the backing of the Infinite Society is one thing, but daring to massacre at Mr. Lu’s wake in front of so many people, once word gets to certain ears, forget doing business, you’ll have a hard time just living peacefully!

Do you understand?"

Xiao Ming smiled, "You had leeks for lunch, didn’t you?"

"You..."

Ding Jianwei instantly lost her composure and, with a cry of laughter and frustration, let go of him, "I really regret getting on your damn ship. If I’d known this day would come, I should have..."

"Arrested me and sliced me up for research. I got it, you’ve said it many times. If you keep going, Xianglin will have to fight you for it."

Leaning against the Toyota, Xiao Ming lit a cigarette and continued, "Since things have come to this, I won’t talk nonsense about how this wasn’t my intention or anything like that. If I dared do it, I dare face it.

As for your concern about it reaching certain people’s ears, that possibility exists, but it’s not great, and it certainly won’t happen quickly.

By the time it really comes to that, I believe I will certainly have grown strong enough, at least strong enough to make those big shots weigh whether making my life difficult is worth the trouble."

Ding Jianwei gave him a deep look, took the cigarette out of his mouth, and leaned against him.

"To be honest, I’m almost going crazy with curiosity about you. I’m dying to crack open your head to see what’s different about you from ordinary people.

A trivial matter, and you make a big spectacle out of it, bloodshed and all.

That kind of unruly pride isn’t something a commoner who grew up from the bottom can have."

"Then I’d advise you to keep your distance from me. Haven’t you heard the saying? Once a woman becomes curious about a man, it means she’s ready to fall in love with him."

Ding Jianwei turned her face away, "Are you afraid of me falling in love with you?"

Xiao Ming nodded seriously.

"Why?"

"Because my wife can’t beat you."

Ding Jianwei smiled and put the cigarette back in his mouth. "Tell me honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Yelang?"

Xiao Ming scratched his head, hesitating for a moment, then said, "You can consider him my mentor."

Ding Jianwei’s gaze sharpened, "That would barely make sense.

There were rumors that Yelang came from a distinguished family, brilliant from a young age, and was known as a prodigy. Unfortunately, his family fell into ruin suddenly, and at a tender age, he was left to wander the jianghu, where he learned various skills, and his nature became both righteous and rogue.

In our internal archives, there are only a few pages of personal information about him, but the case files related to him stack up to more than two meters tall.

The most astonishing feat was when he was inadvertently captured by a foreign intelligence agency and locked up in what is claimed to be the world’s most secure maritime prison, yet he managed to escape using just a piece of chewing gum wrapper.

As for how he later swam dozens of miles back to land, that remains an unsolved mystery.

Overall, this man is considered a legend in his own time, so it stands to reason that any students he trained would be unbridled and headstrong."

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow: "From the sound of it, it seems like you haven’t classified him as an enemy that must be apprehended."

"How should I put it?"

Ding Jianwei took the cigarette from his mouth again, inhaling as he spoke, "There is a ’grey list’ within our ranks, which enumerates the names of those in the dark world who are not outright villains.

And they are considered candidates we believe we could convince to turn over a new leaf."

"Then you might as well remove that old man’s name from it," Xiao Ming sneered. "The sudden downfall of his family was due to being framed by his enemies, and one of those enemies happens to be among the big shots you just mentioned.

That he doesn’t take out his personal vendetta on the group is already quite admirable. Even I refuse to be a pawn, and you think you can persuade him to switch sides? That’s a fool’s dream."

Ding Jianwei sighed, "So, there’s no point in trying to convince you to take me to see him?"

"Forget it! With your little tricks, you might be a nuisance to me, but that old man would swallow you whole without chewing."

Ding Jianwei shook his head, threw away the cigarette butt, and got a document from the car, handing it to Xiao Ming along with a pen.

"Sign this."

"What’s this?"

"An informant agreement statement. Only with this can others not use your connection with Infinite Society as a reason to go after you."

"Uh... Isn’t it a bit too soon? I haven’t decided whether to join them yet."

"You don’t want the kid in the car ahead to see you get beaten up, do you?"

Ding Jianwei’s face was full of disdain, "The Alpha Elite Squad of the organization has been mobilized. Do you have any other choice?

Do you think I’m easy to deceive, or do you think Infinite Society is so compassionate, allowing you to command them as you please, and come and go freely?"

Xiao Ming chuckled dryly, thickening his skin as he said, "Look, you understand me so well, trust should come naturally.

Remember, from now on, what I say goes, and don’t get all hot-headed and grab me by the collar every so often."

"Stop talking nonsense and just sign already!"

Ding Jianwei kicked him.

In the car ahead, Gu Tinglan looked at the scene in the rearview mirror with surprise and couldn’t help asking, "Miss Xiao Li, the person behind... Is that Mr. Xiao’s girlfriend?"

"No," Xiao Li replied coldly, "Mister doesn’t have a girlfriend, only a wife."

"What? He’s already married?" Gu Tinglan was taken aback.
