Li Ling is not a novice who has never experienced anything. In the original drama, Xiao Zhuang always had some reservations. In fact, his state was very dangerous. If Ma Qitong in the original drama had been a little more shrewd, Xiao Zhuang would probably have exposed himself long ago.
Although Li Ling also had psychological burdens, he was now known as "Li Ling," and as long as he did not have a substantial relationship with Ma Qitong, he would not feel any guilt.
Although Ma Qitong is clean and has not been involved in the Ma family's shady business, she cannot be said to be innocent because she was born into such a family.
After all, her life of luxury and extravagance since childhood was all thanks to her father and brothers' drug trafficking. Since she enjoyed such a life, she should naturally bear some responsibility for her identity.
"Ah Ling, when are we getting married?"
Ma Qitong put down the magazine, rested her head on Li Ling's chest, and asked expectantly.
Li Ling pondered for a few seconds, then said calmly, "Let's wait a little longer! Give me some time. When I've wiped out all the forces that are hostile to your family, and no one can disturb our peaceful life anymore, then we'll get married."
At this point, he patted Ma Qitong's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, with your family's resources and my abilities, this won't take too long."
Ma Qitong nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you, but you must be careful in your actions."
"Don't worry! The person who can kill me hasn't been born yet," Li Ling said calmly.
"Tap tap tap..."
A knock sounded at the door, and Ma Qitong asked in surprise, "Who is it?"
"Are you asleep?" Ma Yunfei's voice came from outside the door.
"She's asleep, in bed!" Ma Qitong replied impatiently.
"Have your brother-in-law get dressed and come out."
"What are you doing! It's the middle of the night."
"It's Dad's order."
Li Ling patted Ma Qitong's shoulder and comforted her, "You go to sleep first! I'll be right back."
Li Ling quickly got up, dressed, tucked his pistol into his waistband, opened the door, and went out.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Ma Yunfei's bald head, which looked like a 100-watt light bulb, and casually asked, "What's up?"
Ma Yunfei smiled slightly, patted Li Ling on the back, and said, "Let's go watch the show."
"What's all the commotion about?"
"Execute a police officer who has been arrested."
Li Ling's heart skipped a beat. Here it comes, Miao Lian!
He remained outwardly calm, knowing that Ma Yunfei was watching him out of the corner of his eye. Li Ling simply turned his head and looked at Ma Yunfei with a half-smile, saying, "Trying to pull this on me? You want me to prove my loyalty, don't you!"
"I've killed armed police and special forces soldiers, but I've never killed a policeman before! I'll execute this policeman."
A look of surprise flashed across Ma Yunfei's face as he looked at Li Ling and asked, "You've killed special forces soldiers? Where?"
"In Nanjing, that special forces soldier killed the younger brother of a gang leader there. That gang leader hired me for a commission of three million," Li Ling said casually, his tone so matter-of-fact that it was easy to believe him.
There was no fear of being investigated, as the police had already arranged this before Li Ling went undercover, and it was also described in Li Ling's wanted notice.
The two walked and talked, then got into a Land Cruiser after leaving the gate. A dozen minutes later, they arrived at a ruin about ten kilometers away from the Ma family villa.
The Ma family's armed men stood in a circle around them, with a short, stocky man covered in blood standing with his back to Li Ling and the others.
Ma Yunfei glanced at the retreating figure and smiled faintly at Li Ling, saying, "Hey, Chief of the Reconnaissance Section, you're a hero."
After saying that, he called out to the retreating figure, "Come on, turn around!"
The man slowly turned around, and sure enough, it was none other than Miao Lian!
Miao Lian showed no unusual expression when he saw Li Ling, and said expressionlessly, "You little bastards, fine, I'll haunt you even as a ghost."
Ma Yunfei's cheek twitched upon hearing this, while Li Ling gave a disdainful snort and said indifferently, "Those who die by my hand don't even have the chance to become ghosts. Remember, the one who killed you is me, 'King Li'."
After finishing speaking, Li Ling pulled out his pistol from his lower back, released the safety, and pointed it at Miao Lian's left chest. He knew that Miao Lian's heart was on the right side.
His statement that he wouldn't even have the chance to become a ghost was actually a double entendre, implying that he wouldn't die and that he believed Miao Lian would understand.
"Bang!"
The gunshot rang out, and a barely perceptible look of relief flashed in Miao Lian's eyes as he slowly collapsed. A burst of blood erupted from his left chest, and everyone present could see that Li Ling's shot had struck his heart squarely.
Li Ling casually switched off the safety, tucked the gun back into his waistband, and turned to Ma Yunfei, saying, "Draw up a list for me as soon as possible, including all the forces around the border that are hostile to the Ma family. This is what I promised Tongtong."
"I hope that our lives will not be disturbed in any way in the future."
Ma Yunfei smiled, shrugged, and said, "As long as you're confident, I'll prepare it for you."
Li Ling nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave.
Once Li Ling's figure disappeared around the corner, Ma Yunfei ordered, "Throw him in front of the police station."
"yes."
...
The next day, news of Miao Lian's death was broadcast on the news. From then on, Ma Shichang and his son had no more doubts about Li Ling and accepted him as their son-in-law and brother-in-law without reservation. As requested by Li Ling, they compiled information on the forces around Yuanshan Town that were hostile to the Ma family and would hand it over to him after it was compiled.
Li Ling consistently presented himself as someone who would help the Ma family eliminate hostile forces, but in reality, this was also a method of gathering intelligence.
The forces that oppose the Ma family are undoubtedly other criminal groups, and these criminal groups are all targets that the police want to crack down on.
