Chapter 31: Elopement Action

  "Lui'er, what did your family say?" As soon as Lui'er got in, they rushed to the ring highway. The stone that had been hanging in Duan Lei's heart finally fell.

  "Don't tell you," said Li Er, wrinkling her brow cutely.

  "Hehe, Duan Lei smiled foolishly for a moment, then fell silent and focused on driving."

  Watching Duan Lei focus on the road, Li Er quietly took out her constantly vibrating phone, turned it off, and sent a message to her mother saying she was safe, then turned off the phone, smiling slightly as she looked at Duan Lei.

  They say that a serious man is the most charming, let alone one who is in a passionate love affair.

  Lily only felt that the slightly pursed lips and the sharp profile of Duan Lei in front of her were mesmerizing, Lily even thought that Duan Lei had more and more of his father's temperament. The little girl's whole heart was already filled with Duan Lei's appearance.

  …………?

  At the moment when Lui cut off her phone, in a villa near Xiaoming Lake in the No. 18 Yuma Street municipal party committee compound, a middle-aged beautiful woman finished reading the message and was about to call back, only to find that the other side had already powered off.

  "Lao Tang, look at your precious daughter, she's actually learned to run away from home and even turned off her phone!" Ding Yuan said angrily to her husband.

  "Yuan Yuan, don't be angry," Tang Xiangjun said with a smile, looking at his wife's expression. "Li Er must have been worried that we wouldn't agree to her going out, so she took the initiative and will explain when she gets back, then we can properly educate her."

  "She left a note saying she's going to play at her classmate's house, now her phone is turned off, how can I not worry? The society is so complicated nowadays." Seeing her husband still smiling, Ding Yuan couldn't help but say: "It's all because of you, little girl doesn't even fear me anymore."

  "Yuan Yuan, you're wronging me! Little girl has Grandpa spoiled her, even if I put on a stern face, she won't be scared of me!" Tang Xiangjun grasped Ding Yuan's pale hand and said: "Besides, she just went back to her hometown with Duan Lei, she'll be back after a while."

  Tang Xiangjun and Ding Yuan have been married for 20 years, but their feelings are getting more intense. The terms of endearment from when they were in the heat of romance remain unchanged, vastly different from many wealthy couples who are emotionally estranged despite their appearance of harmony.

  "Duanyan?" As soon as she heard this familiar name, Dingyuan suddenly became tense and asked: "Could it be that Lier has been in contact with him all along and even went back to their hometown together?

  The last time Yang Feng mentioned that Lui and a student from the countryside were very close, Ding Yuan had the idea of transferring Lui to another school, but she didn't take action due to her husband's opposition. In recent months, due to the company's large-scale M&A project, Ding Yuan has been flying back and forth between Haicheng and Xiangjiang for a long time, and hasn't had much time for Lui, but she never thought things would have gone this far.

  "Yuan Yuan, don't be nervous," Tang Xiangjun patted Ding Yuan's hand and comforted her: "Li Er is not a child who doesn't know what's important, she will grasp the situation. Besides, Xiao Duan is still a good person, let's not interfere too much with young people's actions."

  "I don't want Lian'er to suffer" Knowing that her husband wouldn't shoot randomly, Ding Yuan still had some worries.

  "Don't worry, someone has been keeping an eye on them for months. The young man is indeed not bad." Tang Xiangjun took out a file bag from the drawer and handed it to Ding Yuan, saying: "Take a look at these and you'll understand."

  Ding Yuan curiously took over the file bag, pulled out a large stack of documents, and began to flip through them one by one. These documents included photos, many photocopies of files, and even some appraisal books from authoritative departments, which almost listed all the actions of Duan Lei and "Maka Biology" in the past half year, including a detailed introduction to Duan Lei's family situation. ... Ding Yuan's face changed constantly, especially when she saw the scene of Lizi and Duan Lei kissing, it was even more heart-wrenching. When she saw some analysis reports about "Maka Biology", her astonished expression was beyond words.

  "So, this young man will become a billionaire by the end of the year, using only a little over a year?" More than half an hour later, Ding Yuan finally raised her head in incredulity.

  It's worth noting that although inflation is quite severe now, a 20-year-old young man can start from scratch and become a billionaire in just one year, which always brings an exceptionally huge shock. The Tang family's century-old business has been through wind and rain for generations, and the total assets are only over tens of billions today.

  "Ever since I found out that a young man had appeared beside Lian'er, I had someone secretly investigate everything about this boy. For now, it seems like he's really good to Lian'er," Tang Xiangjun said calmly.

  Although Tang Xiangjun and Ding Yuan are not people who dislike the poor and love the rich, once Lizi's favorite person shows extremely strong abilities, they will seriously consider whether to truly accept each other.

  "It turns out you've already arranged everything, and I was worried for nothing." Seeing her husband's expression of being in control, Ding Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief and asked: "The information also mentioned that someone is following Lui'er and Duan Lei, what's going on?"

  "The first time tracking appeared when Lui and Xiao Duan went to Qiong Island for tourism, in the end these people were also caught, it was Yang's family child you always liked who hired them, the purpose is to get rid of Xiao Duan this emotional enemy" Tang Xiangjun said lightly: "The people who appeared later are some commercial spies and private detectives, all of whom are after several technical inventions in Xiao Duan's hands."

  As the eldest miss of the Tang family, Lui'er always had some security personnel following her from behind, which she was used to since childhood and didn't mention to Duan Lei. As for Duan Lei, with his keen senses and eyesight, he also noticed the figures that usually appeared behind him, but he didn't pay much attention to it either.

  These security personnel took action several times after discovering that someone was following Duan Lei and Li Er, catching these unidentified followers, but unexpectedly also implicated Yang Fen. Helpless, Tang Xiangjun could only have someone slightly warn Yang Fen, which is the important reason why Yang Fen did not dare to appear in front of Li Er recently. And some of Yang Fen's actions over the years were also recorded by the Tang family's security personnel and listed clearly in front of Ding Yuan.

  "What's with young people these days?" After listening to her husband's introduction, Ding Yuan could only shake her head and say "Old Tang, you'd better send more people, don't let Lian'er get hurt."

  Regarding her daughter's safety, Ding Yuan was naturally very tense and had a bit of an unpleasant feeling in her heart. At first, she thought that Duan Lei, who came from a rural background, wasn't quite suitable for Liu Er and the Tang family, and she was somewhat opposed to it; but after learning about how excellent Duan Lei was, she began to worry that someone might harm them and threaten Liu Er's safety. As for Yang Feng, he had already been sentenced to death by Ding Yuan.

  After all, it's pitiful for parents all over the world.

  "Don't worry, Yuanyuan. You don't know that this little guy is actually a master of national martial arts. Three or five big men wouldn't be his match." Seeing his wife's tense expression, Tang Xiangjun comforted her and joked: "Don't you still think Yang's kid is great now?"

  "You rascal" Ting Yuan stretched out her hand and pinched her husband's waist, saying somewhat embarrassed: "I wasn't deceived by his appearance before, who knew he had so many shady things behind his back?"

  "After all, it's the young people's business, let's not interfere too much and just let them develop freely." Tang Xiangjun put away all the materials on the tea table and said to his wife: "The old man also knows about Xiaoduan's situation, he hasn't made any comment..."

  "Hmm" Ting Yuan nodded.

  For someone like the old master of the Tang family, not expressing an opinion means having an attitude. Although Tang Xiangjun and Ding Yuan have already shown extremely strong abilities in both politics and business, becoming the de facto spokesperson for the family externally, in the Tang family, the old master is still a figure with absolute authority. Since the old master did not object, things will basically not have too many waves.

  Gently patting the file bag in his hand, Tang Xiangjun still had some regret. This young man rose quietly in just a few short months, hiding too many secrets on him. However, Tang Xiangjun did not try to pry into these secrets, but instead let the security personnel only stare at Duan Lei's periphery and safety, without reaching out to the laboratory and other more secretive places.

  Just from the three projects of 'pollution-free', 'mirror metal' and 'alloy steel' that have been presented so far, it is enough to show Duan Yue's talent in R&D, and his future prospects can only be described as limitless. It was also because Tang Xiangjun gradually recognized Duan Yue's existence that he would secretly help Duan Yue solve some problems, with a hint of loving the house and its crow.

  Take the current Science and Technology Progress Award evaluation activity, for example. The 'Pollution Control' project, which had some difficulty entering the re-evaluation stage, was able to smoothly enter the final evaluation procedure simply because a staff member from Tang Xiangjun's office mentioned it briefly to the chairman of the evaluation committee. Sometimes, in our country, the power of authority can be subtly influential.

  Tang Xiangjun, on the other hand, has a kind of expectation, wanting to see how far Duan Lei and 'Makabiology' can develop without too much negative force holding them back.

  This time, Lì ér and Duàn Yīng were preparing gifts to return to their hometown in the southwest. Táng Xiàng Jūn naturally also received the news, but he never thought that Lì ér would play a trick of leaving without saying goodbye. However, Lì ér also underestimated her father's abilities, as all their actions fell under his watchful eye, and he simply chose not to intervene.

  Otherwise, whether Duan Yue's car can leave Haicheng is still a question.

  …………?

  Duan Lei, who was driving on the highway at full speed, naturally didn't know that there were so many twists and turns behind him. He still thought that Lui's family had agreed to Lui's actions, but he never expected that Lui would take matters into her own hands.

  Anyway, they have left Haicheng with its high-rise buildings and are now on their way home along the highway.
