The rich man on the run: The gangster is so hard to get rid of

Winter in Manchester is very cold. When Ling Tang arrived at Ling Xiao's residence in Manchester, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon local time.

There was no one in the house in the suburban villa area. Lingtang rang the doorbell several times, but no one came to open the door.

She put her luggage aside, sat on the steps in front of the door, gathered the scarf around her neck, and rubbed her hands, which were red from the cold.

The lawn in front of the villa is well taken care of by Ling Xiao. The color of the lawn is lush green, which adds a bit of vitality to the cold Manchester.

She did not open the divorce agreement and read it.

Shen Peizhi's letting go caught her off guard.

Lingtang felt that she was really cheap, shouldn't she be happy?

As long as she signs it, the freedom she has always wanted is within easy reach.

She thought of what Shen Peizhi said before leaving. He reminded her that she would send him a message when the time came.

She took out her phone from her pocket, unlocked it, opened the WeChat chat interface, and typed a few words in the input box.

【I have arrived】.

His fingertips were on the send button, but he still didn't press it. If it was sent to him, what would he ask?

Will you ask yourself if you have opened your suitcase?

Have you seen the divorce agreement?

Did you sign it?

How should she answer?

After thinking for a while, she deleted the words she typed and turned off the screen.

If sending out these few words would answer so many questions, then she chose not to send them out.

It seems that it has always been her temperament to run away from problems. With such a naughty and cowardly character, she is not like a girl like Shen Peizhi.

If she hadn't been born into the Ling family, if she hadn't been Ling Tang, there was no way Shen Peizhi would have fallen in love with her.

What kind of woman should Shen Peizhi like? At least, she should be like Su Lan, beautiful and flamboyant, smart and capable.

Or, like Zhong Xinyue, a girl who is as beautiful as a porcelain doll and has a clear distinction between love and hate.

Ling Tang's character was mediocre. In the first 25 years, he was brave only twice, and finally ended up in disgrace.

The first time, she escaped from the engagement and stepped into Shen Peizhi's trap, without even seeing her parents for the last time.

The second time, she avoided getting married and almost killed Si Guanyu and Gong Mi.

His hands were so cold that he lost consciousness. Lingtang took out his phone again and opened the chat box.

Manchester is eight hours behind Beijing. Now, it should be about one o'clock in the morning in Beijing.

Perhaps, he has fallen asleep.

Lingtang thought for a while, and finally typed three words on the keyboard and sent it.

【I have arrived】.

After 2 minutes, Shen Peizhi replied with three words.

【That's good】.

Lingtang didn't expect him to reply, so he hesitated for a moment and typed a few more words.

【Still busy? 】

At the top of the chat box, under Shen Peizhi's name, it shows that the other party is typing...

[Not busy, waiting for your message. 】

Ling Tang was stunned. If she hadn't sent this message, would he have stayed up?

[Good night, go to bed early. 】

After waiting for 5 minutes, Shen Peizhi did not reply.

Lingtang's hands were freezing. She put her phone in her pocket and rubbed her hands.

At six o'clock, Ling Xiao finally came back. He drove a very ordinary car. Ling Tang couldn't recognize the make of the car, but it probably wasn't the kind of luxury car he often drove.

The car door opened, the two children got out of the car, and Ling Xiao drove the car to the garage.

Nian Nian and Xiang Xiang didn't see Ling Tang sitting on the steps. She saw them first.

They were wearing thick down jackets with school uniforms underneath, schoolbags on their shoulders, and identical blue hats.

Lingtang stood up with a little sourness in his eyes. After two years of not seeing each other, they had grown a lot taller, and there was a trace of maturity that did not match their age on their young faces.

"Niannian, ring..."

Ling Tang's lips trembled as he called out their names.

They were originally looking at the garage, but when they heard Ling Tang's call, they turned around, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't believe it.

"aunt……"

They called her affectionately and ran into her arms.

Ling Tang touched their heads, with tears in his eyes, "Long time no see, my aunt misses you so much."

After all, they were children. After hearing these words, the tears of the two children also burst out in an instant.

"Auntie, I miss you so much."

She wiped the tears from their faces and spoke a few words of comfort.

I don't know when, Ling Xiao was standing in front of them.

Ling Tang looked up, and when he saw Ling Xiao, his breath froze.

Her brother was still handsome and handsome, but his originally bright eyes now became dim and dull, showing some vicissitudes of life.

The once black hair was actually mostly mixed with silver.

Qin Shuya's death had a great impact on Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao was holding a plastic bag in his hand. The plastic bag contained the vegetables he had just bought from the supermarket. "When did you get it?"

He walked to Lingtang, gently picked up her suitcase, walked into the villa, walked to the door, took out the key from his pocket, and opened the door.

Ling Tang followed him and spoke with difficulty, "I just came here not long ago."

The room was as warm as spring, and Niannian and Xiangxiang were very happy to see her.

Lingtang opened the suitcase and took out the two New Year's gifts prepared by Shen Peizhi. "Auntie has prepared the New Year's gifts for you. Quickly open them and take a look."

Seeing this, the two little guys casually threw their schoolbags on the sofa, took the gifts aside and opened them, guessing what they were while opening them.

Ling Tang kept looking at them, with a soft light shining in his eyes.

She placed the divorce agreement at the top. When she saw this document, she felt mixed feelings in her heart. To be precise, it was a bit overwhelming.

She hurriedly put the documents into the suitcase without even putting them into the portfolio.

The suitcase was open, and Ling Xiao put the vegetables away. When he walked from the kitchen, he glanced at a few words on the document, and his expression quickly became complicated.

He picked up the document, opened it and looked at it a few times, and understood the reason why Ling Tang came to England.

Lingtang focused on his two children and did not realize that his brother had discovered the agreement until his voice came from behind.

"Did you and Shen Peizhi quarrel?"

Ling Tang turned around in a hurry and looked panicked when he saw what Ling Xiao was holding.

She walked over in three steps and two steps, grabbed the things in Ling Xiao's hand, put them into the file bag, and replied, "No."

Knowing that she didn't want to talk, Ling Xiao didn't ask her about the agreement again.

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

Lingtang put the file bag in the suitcase, closed the suitcase, and looked surprised, "Did you do it?"

"What else?" Ling Xiao shrugged and said with a smile, "I didn't hire a nanny."

She never knew her brother could cook. "When did you learn to cook?"

"Cooking is very simple. I knew how to cook it when I was studying in the UK."

Ling Nian held the latest Barbie doll in her hand and ran to Ling Tang. She raised her little face with an innocent look on her face and said, "Auntie, the Chinese food made by dad is delicious."

Ling Tang touched her head with a loving look on his face, "Okay, let dad cook his specialty today."

Ling Xiao's cooking skills were indeed good. Ling Tang rarely had an appetite and ate a lot.

After dinner, they played puzzles with the children around the fireplace for a while, and the time soon came to nine o'clock.

Ling Xiao raised his eyes, glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and reminded softly, "Niannian, Xiangxiang, it's time to go to bed."

The two children reluctantly said good night and went upstairs.

Lingtang put down the puzzle pieces in his hand and asked, "Where should I sleep tonight?"

Ling Xiao said nothing, stood up, picked up the coffee pot from the stove, and poured himself a cup of coffee.

He poured the coffee skillfully. Lingtang frowned, "If you drink coffee at night, won't you be unable to sleep?"

Ling Xiao held the coffee cup and sat on the sofa, "Coffee can keep people awake."

"Wake up is something you only need to do during the day, and you should sleep at night."

"Xiaotang," Ling Xiao tilted his head, a trace of sadness filling his dark eyes, "I can't sleep."

"..."

Lingtang didn't speak, but she knew that he must be thinking about Qin Shuya at this time.

Sure enough, Ling Xiao's words floated over slowly, with a hint of coolness.

"As soon as I close my eyes, Shu Ya's blood-stained face will appear in front of me."

Ling Tang's heart tightened and he couldn't bear it, "Brother..."

"Xiaotang, it was me who killed her. I will never be able to forgive myself in my life."
