CHAPTER 624

Despite all of those negative points ready, Bai Renxiang still saw more.

The man's eyes spelt out mischief. And the way he was looking at her... She was not liking it one bit. However, he has not done anything to warrant a scared reaction from her.

She was not that easy to frighten. Not after all she has been through.

"Oh, my bad," the man's head shrink into his shoulder for a tad bit.

"Ahem. We have never met. But I have seen your pictures on the net as you are quite famous," he said.

Bai Renxiang arched a brow at him. "Okay. However, that does not give you the right to address me like we know each other. We are not close friends or a family or something else."

"Yeah. About the family part," the man chortled. "I guess my little brother has not told you about his dearest elder brother."

"What do you mean?" Bai Renxiang frowned.

"Sorry to have delayed the inevitable. Our introduction," he grinned. "I am Zhixin. Li Zhixin. And your husband, Li Fengjin is my younger brother."

GBAGHAN

Bai Renxiang most definitely thought she was hearing things. She blinked and eyed him from head to toe.

Then standing before her looked nothing like her husband or any of her in-laws, Mr and Mrs Li. There was no resemblance whatsoever.

"Are you trying to make a joke? Because if you are, I don't have time for that. I don't even have time to talk to a complete stranger not to talk of one claiming to be related to my family. Excuse me," Bai Renxiang blurted out before brushing past him.

But before she could even take up to five steps, she felt a light tug at her arm.

"Hey, what's the rush? Come on now," Zhixin smiled.

That smile, Bai Renxiang wished she could wipe it off his face with her fist. But she restricted herself from doing so.

"Let go of my arm," She demanded.

"You are a bold one," Zhixin chuckled, his hands still holding hers.

"I will see how bold you can be when I will have you be a bullet meant to end your husband. I was very interested in you. I still am actually," his eyes raked all over her body while his tongue slid across his lower lip.

It would be a lie if Bai Renxiang said she did not feel a chill crawl up her spine. He just gave off a pervert and crazy guy kind of vibe.

Not wanting to be held by such a person, she forcefully yanked her hand away from his grip.

"Take a look at this though. It will help show that I'm saying the truth," Zhixin said while dipping his hand into his pocket.

He brought out his black leather wallet and pulled out a small photo from it. Then he showed it to Bai Renxiang.

"You see. This is us as one small happy family."

In the picture, young Mrs Li sat on a chair with little Li Fengjin on her lap and one of her hands was on another boy's shoulder. And behind her was Mr Li at his young age.

They all had smiles on their faces that truly spelt happiness.

"That's your husband when he was only three. The boy beside him is me. I have not changed much. Just the hair and maturity. You believe me now, right?" Zhixin smiled.

Bai Renxiang wanted to say no word to him but curiosity for the best of her.

"Then why does no one know about you? No one even speaks about you," Bai Renxiang inquired.

historical

"Well, that is their question to answer not mine," he shrugged.

"Anyway, do say hello to my mother and father for me. Tell them we will have a reunion sooner or later. Bye, beautiful," Zhixin winked at her before leaving.

Although he did, she still felt a certain fear creep through her. And as if she has been holding her breath, a heavy and long sigh left her lips.

Her hand flew to her chest. She felt the increased pace of her heart.

'What was that all about?' She could not help but think and look in the direction Zhixin walked off to.

But he was no longer in sight as he should be. She looked around searching for him. It was like he magically disappeared.

Just then her phone rang, pulling her attention from the man to her phone.

"Hello," she spoke whilst still scanning her surrounding.

"Renxiang. You seem to be taking too long in the restroom. Are you okay? Do you need me to come and help you with anything?" Ning Xiaozhi's worried and concerned voice rang into her ear.

"No no. It's fine. I am heading out now. You are in the parking lot, right?" Bai Renxiang inquired as she walked away from there.

"Yes. Please come quickly. I'm starving and craving some ramen," Ning Xiaozhi groaned into the phone.

"Alright, you big baby. Mummy is already on her way," Bai Renxiang teased.

"Okay."

They hung up and met at the parking lot. After which, the rest of the day was done as Ning Xiaozhi had planned. Had ramen for lunch and headed to the karaoke.

By the time they arrived, it was already evening. Bai Renxuang did not join them for dinner as she was still full from all the ate and drank at the karaoke.

But she stayed to chat and pamper Li Xiaojin as requested.

"So how was your day, sweetie? Did you enjoy your day?" Jiang Meilin asked.

"It was... As far as it's with Xiaozhi, it was fun. But her energy was a bit too much for me," Bai Renxiang said and they laughed.

"Well, that's what you need at this time. A lot of energy for yourself and the baby," Mr Li says.

"I guess so.," she smiled and caressed her stomach.

~After dinner~

Bai Renxiang went to the bathroom immediately to cool off. However, there was this incident bothering her mind. It was her encounter with that man.

"Li Zhixin, was it? Yeah," she mumbled to herself.

"I am Zhixin. Li Zhixin. And your husband, Li Fengjin is my younger brother." His words replayed in her head.

"He does not look or act in any way related to the Li family. But even if he does as he showed me in that picture, why has Jin not told me anything about it."

"That aside, I find it strange that this is happening now that Jin is not here. Or is this somehow related to his disappearance?" Bai Renxiang thought out loud.

"Urgh. This is already giving me a headache. And I have not even thought of the words he said about me becoming a bullet to end my own husband. It all sounds so crazy but why do I feel like knowing more of this sudden revelation."

Bai Renxiang sighed and stepped out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around her and went to get clothes to wear to sleep. She chose one of Li Fengjin's shirts.

Something she has been doing since he left. She then claimed unto their bed and laid under the covers. Her thoughts went on and on as she tossed and turned on the bed.

She could not shake all of Zhixin's words out of her head. Bai Renxiang rolled to her side and checked her phone. It was already late and she had not had a sniff of sleep.

"What a day this turned out to be."

She pulled Li Fengjin's pillow and cuddled with it. Then she willed herself to sleep. Waking up with an eye bag is not her ideal thing.

******

Meanwhile, in Country P, Li Fengjin, Parker and some of their men went to the dock where information was given that Zhixin will be to collect his goods.

After a quick and thorough survey of the area, they took different hidden positions and waited for Zhixin and his men to arrive.

It will be just a few minutes from now. It is supposed to be but now they had waited for more than just a few minutes already.

It became rather questionable.

"Parker, what is going on? I thought you said your source was very clear about Zhixin being here," Li Fengjin asked through the walkie-talkie they all took with each of them.

"It is as I was told, comrade. But it does not seem to be so. Not even the goods are arriving," Parker answered.

As soon as those words left Parker's mouth, a place close to their hiding spot exploded and soon gunshots were heard.

"Damn it. We have been lied to. Protect yourselves," Li Fengjin said before taking his gun and shooting their enemy on sight.

The shooting was intense but they were on the winning side. Because they have been found out, they left their formal positions moving to other places to cover and to fight back.

They didn't stop until their enemies were all laying lifeless and bloodied on the cold floor of the dock.
