Chapter 39: The Gate of Life and Death (Seeking Collection!)

  PS: Thanks for the support, fellow villagers! Xie Xie! Duan Yue began his happy school life. Every morning, he practiced "Lian Ti Quan" in the woods by the banks of Si Xi Lake, then went to the library to read various medical texts. After school, he had dinner with Tang Liu Er and attended self-study sessions together at night.

  Taking advantage of no one seeing, Duan Lei could still hold Tang Lier's small hand, that kind of sweetness can only be felt when being in it.

  Like most lovers in college, the two young people naturally imagined the whole world as having only the two of them, and they even felt that they would be happy like this forever, until the end of time.

  Yang Feng, hiding in the dark, saw Duan Lei and Tang Lier being affectionate with each other, and he almost went mad with rage. He wished he could rush out and have a one-on-one showdown with Duan Lei. However, thinking about the difference in strength between him and Duan Lei, and recalling the miserable state of Dragon Brother and his gang back then, Yang Feng retreated sensibly.

  "Just let you gloat for a while longer, wait until the Tang family finds out about this and see if you can still laugh then?" Yang Feng could only think this in his heart now.

  …………

  "Hello! Are you Duan Lei?" On this day, after leaving the library, Duan Lei was stopped by a man in black suit.

  "What's up? Are you looking for me?" Duanyan looked at the young man dressed like a black-clad bodyguard on TV with some confusion, wondering what he wanted.

  "Get in, someone is looking for you!" The man in the black suit opened the rear door of the Mercedes-Benz S600 parked by the side and said in a tone that brooked no refusal.

  "Oh!" Duan Yue was stunned for a moment, but didn't think too much and followed suit into the car.

  Others drive a Mercedes-Benz 600 to school and find themselves, they must not be disadvantageous to themselves. Besides, Duan Lei doesn't think he has anything that can be coveted by others. Whether it's the bell or the melon, there is no clue to reveal the secret, and Duan Lei is not worried about being discovered at all.

  As he entered the car, Duan Yue looked up and saw an elderly man with a head of white hair sitting on the other side of the carriage. He subconsciously said: "Hello!"

  The old man was about sixty years old, with cheekbones that were as sharp as if they had been carved by a knife or an axe. His two eyes were deeply sunken in their sockets, but still gleamed with exceptional sharpness. Just from a brief glance, Duan Lei felt a sense of familiarity, and the old man opposite him gave off an aura similar to that of his grandfather.

  The car door behind him was closed by a man in black, making a dull sound. For a moment, the carriage fell into silence. It was the first time for Duan Lei to take such a high-end sedan, and he found that there was a glass panel between the rear compartment and the driver's room, forming two completely different worlds.

  In a narrow space, being alone with a stranger, and the other person constantly sizing him up with a scrutinizing gaze, Duan Lei couldn't help but feel somewhat ill at ease.

  "Hey there young man, don't be afraid, I just want to have a chat with you!" The old man seemed to notice Duan Yue's tension and said with a smile.

  "I don't know what you want from me?" Duan Yue calmed down and said.

  "How did you and Lian'er get to know each other?" The old man didn't answer Duan Yue's question, but instead changed the subject.

  At this time, the car started, if it wasn't for the scenery outside the window slowly backing away, Duan Lei really couldn't feel the movement of the car.

  "Are you a family member of Lai Er?" Duan Yue had no way to judge what kind of relationship this old man had with Tang Lai Er, so he could only ask like that.

  In his conversation with Tang Lier, Duan Lei knew that Tang Lier's grandfather was almost seventy years old, her father was over forty, and neither of them matched the one in front of him.

  "It can also be said that I've watched Lì'ér grow up, so naturally I'll be more concerned about everything related to her!" The old man's communication skills were quite good, and he continued: "I heard that for the first time, a boy has appeared by Lì'ér's side. We elders are naturally a bit curious, so we came to see you!"

  "It turned out that the parents had come looking for him!" A thought flashed through Duan Lei's mind, but his face didn't show too much unusual expression.

  San Lian organized his words in his heart and told the old man about how he got to know Tang Liu'er, one by one, anyway, these were not secrets that couldn't be spoken.

  The old man listened patiently to Duan Yue's words and suddenly asked a question: "Do you know about Lizi's family background?"

  "Got it!" Duan Yue nodded and said: "Although Liu Er's words were vague, I can guess that the Tang family is not simple."

  Although he wanted to pull out Yang Feng as a reference, Duan Yue thought about it and didn't do so. In his eyes, Yang Feng was not strong enough to be his opponent, ignoring him was the greatest blow to him. Just now, hearing that the old man was Lui'er's family member, Duan Yue suspected whether Yang Feng had made some small moves behind his back?

  Nowadays Duan Yue, how could he still mention Yang Feng's name?

  "I won't go into details about the Tang family, just understand that they are a family that has been thriving for over a hundred years since the opening of Haicheng. The old man paused for a moment and said: "Since you have decided to be with Lui'er, you must prepare yourself mentally. There will definitely be many challenges and difficulties ahead, please don't blame Lui'er, because these are not things she can avoid, nor will they be targeted at you alone. Every person's choice has its corresponding consequences."

  "Didn't you come to persuade me to break up with Lian'er?" After listening to the old man's words, which could be described as sincere and heartfelt, Duan Lei felt a little surprised.

  In Duan Yue's impression, once a poor boy appears beside the rich girl, there will definitely be a big stick waving over to beat the poor boy back to his original shape. Now it seems that things are not quite like that, and soap operas may not be reliable after all.

  "Hehe, I'm just an old man who's seen Lian'er grow up, and can't decide anything!" The old man chuckled and said: "Someone has entrusted me to come take a look at you, as for whether there will be anyone else coming to find you in the future, I don't know."

  "I won't say any more grandiose words, just watch my actions!" Duan Lei knew that no matter how good the promises sounded now, they wouldn't have any effect, and could only say this in a low voice.

  "The Tang family will not allow an ordinary person to take away their precious daughter. If you want to gain the recognition of the Tang family, you must have your own business!" The old man patted Duanyue's shoulder and gave him the most important advice.

  "I understand!" Duan Yue nodded, indicating that he was clear!

  If it were the old Duan Yue, in front of the Tang family's strong position, he would probably not be able to maintain his confidence, and perhaps he would leave with regret!

  But now with Dingdang and Makar civilization in his eyes, everything is no longer a problem.

  Sometimes it's quite sad to think about, in this society, ordinary people want to enter the circle of luxury, it's always very difficult, even if they pay a great effort, it's not necessarily successful. If Duane hadn't had an extraordinary encounter, he would have been disheartened.

  Duan Yue got to know Tang Lier because of that brick, and also had the capital to further develop with Tang Lier because of that brick.

  Is it not all predestined?

  When he got off the bus, Duan Yue found that the car was still stopped at the starting point, it seemed that the black suit was not simple!

  "Don't make Lian'er sad, or I won't let you off!" The old man's voice came from the car before Duan Lin had walked far.

  Duanyuan didn't even turn his head back, he just made an OK gesture with his right hand and walked away quickly.

  In Duan Yue's mind, a card appeared that the old man had handed to him, 'Tang Fu', with only a mobile phone number on it.

  "This Tang Fu has killed people, and more than one, the aura of death on him is very heavy!" At this time, Ding Ding suddenly came out with such a sentence.

  …………

  Just as Duan Lei and Tang Fu were chatting, the same thing happened at the Tang's house, only this time it was Tang Lian'er and a middle-aged beautiful woman who were talking.

  This middle-aged beautiful woman looked similar to Lì ér at first glance, with a face that was 50-60% similar, only looking more mature, as if she were Lì ér's older sister.

  "Niang niang, what's going on with Duan Lei?" The beautiful woman seemed to have been stimulated by something, her expression very serious.

  "Is it Yang Feng who's been tattling?" Tang Li'er furrowed her brow and said, "Mommy, don't listen to his nonsense. He's the school's playboy and is the best at deceiving people!"

  It turned out that the middle-aged beauty was Ding Yuan, Tang Lier's mother, who had just picked up Tang Lier from school and brought her home, all for the sake of Duan Lei who appeared by Tang Lier's side.

  "Little girl, you're the best at deceiving people, aren't you?" Seeing her daughter like this, Ding Yuan couldn't help but laugh and cry, stretching out her hand to tap on Li'er's forehead, saying: "You've only been in school for a few days, and you've already gotten yourself a boyfriend?"

  "Who has a boyfriend? We just held hands!" Lì ér said, only to realize she had misspoken, and her face flushed with two red clouds.

  As soon as she heard her daughter's words, Ding Yuan, who was originally a bit tense, felt much more at ease. It seemed that things had just begun and hadn't reached an irretrievable point yet.

  "Tell Mom, how did you get to know this boy? Where is he from? What's his family situation?" Ding Yuan knew that her daughter looked weak on the outside, but was actually very stubborn and had a strong personality, so she needed to be persuaded with gentle words.

  "That day, I was strolling around the night market street near school, …" As soon as she mentioned the scene where she met Duan Xue, Tang Liu'er's face lit up with a sweet smile.

  Listening to her daughter's account, Ding Yuan found that Duan Lei was quite honest and didn't hide anything from Tang Lier. When she first heard that a boy had appeared beside Lier, Ding Yuan immediately used her connections to gather information about Duan Lei from the time he entered school. Now, letting her daughter recount it again, was just to see if Duan Lei had any deceitful behavior when interacting with her daughter?

  As an experienced person, Ding Yuan looked at her daughter's expression and knew that something was wrong. Her daughter had obviously been moved.

  If it were another family, Duan Yue's conditions would actually be quite good, except for his ordinary birth, he is progressive, diligent and studious, with outstanding abilities, among the university students, he is a top-notch talent. However, based on Duan Yue's current conditions, wanting to become the son-in-law of the Tang family is still far from enough!

  Ding Yuan is considering whether or not to let Lui'er transfer schools, and thus cut off this newly begun relationship.
