Chapter 66 Li Tianwang
Ma Qitong, who was lying in the grass, was taken aback when she heard this. However, she was not stupid and did not believe it rashly. Instead, she asked a few questions, and after the person on the other side answered them without missing a single one, Ma Qitong was convinced.
He quickly said to Li Ling, "Ling, they are my third brother's men, please don't kill them."
Li Ling glanced at Ma Qitong, nodded, and shouted to the other side, "Throw out your guns, raise your hands and come out, or you're dead!"
The three survivors dared not object. Three M16s were thrown out of the back of the car, and three hooded bandits emerged from behind the vehicle. The leader raised his hands high, while the other two, having been shot, could only raise one hand, with the other hanging by their sides.
Li Ling, holding a gun, led Ma Qitong to the three men. Ma Qitong stepped forward and pulled down the hood of the leader, discovering that it was someone who usually followed her third brother. She turned to Li Ling and said, "Ling, they really are my third brother's men. Please let them go!"
Li Ling nodded indifferently, then looked at the leader, his gaze turning cold, and said in a chilling voice, "Why didn't you reveal your identities immediately? What are you plotting?"
The leader felt a chill rise from his tailbone, his legs almost buckled and he was filled with fear. Such a strong killing intent, how many people must he have killed!
He has killed at least eight or ten people, but he has never encountered a single person who could completely extinguish his will to resist with just a glance.
“Brother…brother, we didn’t plan anything, it’s just that we don’t know you. Our boss told us to take you back and question you about your background.”
The leader immediately and without reservation confessed. It wasn't that he was cowardly, but rather that he felt that if his answer didn't satisfy the other party, they would definitely kill him.
"Hmph, interrogation?" Li Ling snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "It's more like torture! Go back and tell your boss that we're all in the same business. With an organization as big as yours, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find out my background."
"I used to work in Northeast China, and I only recently came to Southwest China. There aren't many people in the Northeast who don't know me, 'King Li'."
"Also, tell your boss that Tongtong is the woman I like, and I'm taking her away. Unless she doesn't want to, no one can stop her. I'll be responsible for her safety from now on."
Ma Qitong looked at the domineering Li Ling with sparkling eyes, her heart almost melting. This incredibly powerful man is my man.
After saying these words, Li Ling's fingers twitched rapidly, then with a flick of his wrist, the M16 in his hand shattered into pieces. Li Ling then turned and left, arm in arm with Ma Qitong.
Ma Qitong held Li Ling's arm tightly and turned to the leader, saying, "Go back and tell my dad and third brother that A-Ling will take good care of me, so they don't need to worry."
Li Ling did not stop Ma Qitong from speaking. He knew very well that Ma Shichang would not let them leave so easily. He would definitely send someone to find them. And now, the initiative was in his hands.
Back on the hill, Li Ling got back on his motorcycle and drove off with Ma Qitong. After returning to Yuanshan Town, Li Ling casually abandoned the motorcycle and took Ma Qitong back to his hotel. Li Ling was not short of money; the Public Security Bureau had already prepared it for him.
After Li Ling and Ma Qitong left, the leader of Ma Yunfei's men immediately called to report the situation to Ma Yunfei. Ma Yunfei didn't say anything on the phone, but simply sent people to pick them up and deal with the scene.
...
Night falls at the Ma family villa.
Ma Shichang stood in the courtyard, looking into the deep darkness in the distance, his eyes even more profound than the deep night.
Ma Yunfei, with a shaved head and wearing a white casual suit, walked over with a stack of documents in his hand. "Dad, this is Li Ling's information. Take a look!"
Li Ling gave Ma Qitong his real name from the real world, not Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan belonged to Xiao Ying, but using the name Li Ling to interact with Ma Qitong made him feel less burdened.
Of course, the information fabricated by the police also used the name Li Ling.
Ma Shichang took the documents handed to him by Ma Yunfei. The first one was a Class A Red wanted notice from the Ministry of Public Security. The notice stated: Li Ling (fugitive number: 133622099000200913003), male, 19 years old, registered residence: Hebei, height 1.85 meters, medium build...
Li Ling's parents divorced when he was young. He joined the army at 17 and served in a reconnaissance brigade in the Northeast Theater Command of the People's Liberation Army. He was later discharged from the army for threatening his instructor with a gun. At 18, he became a professional assassin. Because of his high level of skill and decisive and ruthless actions, he once said, "To be a person, one must be a king among men," thus earning the nickname "King Li"...
Upon receiving this arrest warrant, all local public security organs are requested to immediately deploy search and arrest operations. If the suspect is found, he/she shall be detained immediately, and the Fifth Bureau of our Ministry shall be notified promptly. Rewards will be given to informants who provide clues leading to the arrest, and to any unit or individual who assists in the apprehension.
"Li Tianwang? We've never heard of this Li Tianwang before?" Ma Shichang asked Ma Yunfei, puzzled, after reading the wanted poster.
Upon hearing this, Ma Yunfei replied, "Dad, I've inquired about him. He used to be active in the Northeast, but he only recently appeared in the Southwest. My sister mentioned him to me before."
“He met her sister a few months ago when he was in the county town on business. She helped him with some things. Later, he had other things to do and left, but she said he would come back to find her.”
"This guy is ruthless. He must have killed a lot of people. Biaozi was terrified by him and still hasn't recovered."
After listening to Ma Yunfei's words, Ma Shichang nodded and said slowly, "It's clear that he is a useful talent. If we can use him, it will be like adding wings to a tiger."
"However, judging from what he said, he doesn't seem to want to have anything to do with us. We still need to think of a way."
After a moment's thought, Ma Yunfei said, "Whether this matter succeeds or not depends on my sister. After all, she is my sister. If he wants to marry my sister, he can't disown you as his father-in-law. I think it would be better if you met him in person."
Ma Shichang thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "You're right, go and make the arrangements! But there's one principle: he must have seen police blood on his hands. Otherwise, even if he's willing to stay and help us, I won't dare to use him easily."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
...
For three days in a row, Li Ling did nothing but accompany Ma Qitong to play in Yuanshan Town. They left their footprints in various scenic spots. Of course, Li Ling also clearly sensed that someone was following and monitoring him all the time.
He knew those were members of the Ma family, but he didn't alert them. He simply put on a good show, faithfully playing the role of a man who doted on his woman. The Ma family members had all seen how happy Ma Qitong had been these past few days.
However, Li Ling still held firm to his bottom line and did not cross that final line. They slept separately that night. Ma Qitong wanted to throw herself into his arms, but Li Ling told her that he was a perfectionist and he hoped to save their first night for their wedding night.
No woman could possibly refuse such a request. At that moment, Ma Qitong was even more enamored with Li Ling and no longer thought about those other things.
That day, the two had just finished dinner and came out of the restaurant when four burly men in black suits approached them and said directly to Ma Qitong, "Miss, the boss wants to see Mr. Li."
“My dad? What does he want to do?” Ma Qitong asked, staring at the four of them.

Chapter 67 The Killing Intent Within
"We don't know about that, please don't make things difficult for us, Miss."
Seeing the man's respectful expression, Ma Qitong looked at Li Ling with some difficulty and said weakly, "Ling, that's my father after all, you see..."
Li Ling sighed: "Well, he's my future father-in-law after all, so there's no harm in meeting him."
Upon hearing this, Ma Qitong was overjoyed. She gave Li Ling a quick kiss on the cheek and said with a grin, "Ling, you're so sweet. My dad will definitely like you."
