The hall was silent. The big bosses forced themselves to accompany Li Lei for dinner.

Li Lei took a small bowl and a small silver spoon and started feeding Xia Ling soup.

Everyone there realized that this woman was Second Young Master Li’s treasure. No, how could she be as simple as his treasure? She was literally his lifeline.

Big boss Qian Dafu was one of the most powerful in the industry, but once he offended Xia Ling, he was immediately shot by Li Lei without warning. They were very lucky that neither of them offended Xia Ling. In fact, even Wang Long was very lucky because he only offended Li Lei and not Xia Ling. That was why he only lost two subordinates but not his life.

They should never ever provoke Xia Ling.

They learned this lesson at the banquet.

Li Lei achieved his goal. After dinner, everyone left.

Xia Ling was very tired and went to the bedroom to rest with Li Lei. After she took a bath, she laid on the bed. However, she did not dare to close her eyes. Once she closed her eyes, her entire mind was filled with the scene of blood splattering everywhere.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, Li Lei reached out and gently touched her cheek. “Were you scared? I’m sorry Xiao Ling, but that was something I had to do. I wanted to let everyone know that they shouldn’t provoke you.”

Xia Ling understood his difficulties. Since he became the head of the family, he had to take up the burden of governing the family. There was no way he could back down, and sometimes, violent means were necessary.

Not to mention, those people were not innocent.

Li Lei told her. “Qian Dafu, whom I killed today, was in the business of selling human organs—he’s a guilty man. You don’t have to feel guilty. Although the Li Family is in the triad, we only sell firearms and are involved in the casino business. We won’t hurt ordinary innocent people.”

Xia Ling wrapped her arms around his waist and placed her cheek on his chest. “I’m still scared.”

“Don’t worry, I’m here.” Li Lei said.

Xia Ling softly said, “I’m afraid that you might be killed by them.” The triad was so ruthless, and three people could be killed by a random person. Life here was so fragile and could not withstand a single blow. She was really worried that something bad might happen to him.

Li Lei understood her concerns and kissed her forehead.

“Your man is very strong. He will be fine.” He assured her.

Xia Ling forced a smile and hugged him tighter.

The two of them hugged the entire night. The next day when she woke up, Xia Ling realized that Li Lei was not there.

She knew that he was busy recently. There was a multitude of things that she could not interfere with. She slowly got up, washed up, ate breakfast, and went to take a walk in the small forest in Thunderous Yard.

The sun was just right, and there was a genial breeze blowing by.

Accompanied by a bodyguard, Xia Ling strolled for a while but her heart was still shrouded by a shadow. Yesterday was the first time she witnessed a gathering of big bosses in the triad. She realized that they would really kill people over a disagreement. It was a different world from her previous living environment and she could not adapt to it at the moment.
