96: Chapter 96 Can't you have any pity on me?
Having successfully given his aunt a peace of mind,
Luo Wei didn't explain things further.
He chatted with her for a while.
Afterward, he made an excuse to head out.
There was another piece of intelligence that needed to be handled today.
That intelligence was related to Chen Yaoting, and Luo Wei had already figured out how to deal with him.
However, just as he opened the front door, he happened to see a girl with twin tails standing outside, pressing the doorbell!
The twin-tailed girl wore a baseball cap and a mask, paired with over-the-knee socks, a small black leather skirt, and a cartoon T-shirt.
As Luo Wei saw her, the girl stared straight at him with eyes heavily lined with eyeliner.
"You are..." Luo Wei frowned, certain that he didn't know this twin-tailed girl.
"You're Luo Wei, right?" The girl's tone held a hint of excitement!
"I have an extremely important matter to tell you!"
As she spoke, the twin-tailed girl tried to enter the house!
Luo Wei reached out directly and pressed down on her head!
If no one were home, he wouldn't have minded her coming in.
But with his aunt there, Luo Wei didn't want someone of unknown origin entering the house.
Luo Wei pointed toward the elevator. "Let's talk downstairs!"
"No problem!" The twin-tailed girl breathed a sigh of relief.
She had thought she was being rejected by Luo Wei.
While taking the elevator down, Luo Wei asked again, "What's your name?"
Even in the enclosed elevator, the girl remained extremely vigilant!
She looked left and right first, and even lowered her voice before finally saying her name.
"I'm Li Yina. You might not know me, but..."
"Oh?" Luo Wei was genuinely surprised.
"I know you. You're Li Taian's daughter!"
"Mm-hmm!" The twin-tailed girl nodded quickly.
Luo Wei was somewhat puzzled. "Didn't Chen Yaoting tell you to get rid of me?"
"You appearing before me now... you're not planning to kill me, are you?"
"No, no!" Li Yina waved her hands frantically, her eyeliner-rimmed eyes widening.
She looked up at Luo Wei in disbelief. "You—how do you know about that?"
"Heh..." Luo Wei gave a cold laugh without explaining.
"Ac—Actually..." Li Yina hurriedly explained.
"The reason I came to find you was to tell you exactly that!"
Luo Wei nodded. The elevator had reached the underground garage, and Luo Wei motioned for her to get in the car to talk.
Li Yina was wearing both a baseball cap and a mask, clearly not wanting to be seen.
After getting in, Luo Wei didn't drive anywhere.
Instead, he spoke with Li Yina right there in the car.
He sized her up from head to toe.
"I thought that as the young miss of a criminal organization, you'd be arrogant and overbearing!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a ditzy female college student!"
Being teased by Luo Wei for being 'ditzy',
Li Yina's face was covered in black lines. She gloomily took off her baseball cap and mask.
It had to be said, this young lady was very pretty, with a hint of rebelliousness in her cuteness!
She still had a touch of childishness and looked to be under twenty, yet she was already the helm of Taian Company!
"Speak," Luo Wei said, getting straight to the point. "What's your purpose for coming all this way to find me?"
"Actually..." Li Yina muttered bashfully, "I... well, I want to seek refuge with you..."
"Seek refuge with me?" Luo Wei was utterly astonished. "What do you mean? You're the female ceo of Taian Company right now!"
"You're giving up being a female ceo to seek refuge with me?"
Luo Wei didn't just find it incomprehensible; he was profoundly shocked!
Li Yina explained with great anxiety.
"At first, when everyone elected me as the female ceo of Taian Company, I was indeed very excited."
"But later I realized that Taian Company isn't even my family's property!"
"My father Li Taian's fearsome reputation—you've heard of it, right?"
Luo Wei nodded.
Li Yina continued.
"Everyone thinks my dad is the local tyrant of Honghai City, the underground emperor!"
"In reality, he's just a high-level lackey, a 'black glove' for certain big shots!"
"Do you know that ninety-nine percent of Taian Company's quarterly profits are transferred to overseas accounts belonging to those people?"
"Not only that, my dad has to help those big shots handle all sorts of messy, despicable affairs."
"Things like murder are practically a daily occurrence!"
Luo Wei actually knew everything Li Yina was saying.
The USB drive he had picked up at the T-junction earlier was filled with evidence of Li Taian's various crimes.
That evidence was not only full of unspeakable blood and violence,
but it also contained the shadows of various high-ranking figures in Honghai City!
At this moment, Li Yina's face was filled with resentment!
"After my dad was taken in by the Law Enforcement Department, the family and the company's high-level executives elected me as the person in charge."
"I was happy at the time; I thought I was the most favored, so my dad arranged for me to be in charge of Taian Company."
"But later I realized it wasn't like that at all!"
"Those people put me in charge of the company just to make me a scapegoat!"
"First of all, the Law Enforcement Department is investigating Taian Company!"
"Once Taian Company's scandals blow up,"
"I, the female ceo, will probably end up being executed!"
"Secondly, over the last few days, all sorts of big shots have been taking turns calling and threatening me!"
"They want me to keep their secrets and continue doing all their dirty work!"
"I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran away. I plan to seek refuge with you!"
Finishing her story, Li Yina looked at Luo Wei expectantly,
her eyes filled with a pitiful gaze.
She was like an abandoned kitten hoping to be adopted by Luo Wei.
Being suddenly sought for refuge made Luo Wei frown. "I have a question."
"You could have fled abroad or somewhere like that. Why choose to seek refuge with me? We don't even know each other; aren't you being a bit too trusting?"
Facing the question, Li Yina quickly explained, "I wanted to flee abroad too, but my passport was confiscated!"
"Because Chen Yaoting wanted me to get rid of you, I conducted an investigation on you."
"I saw the video of you kicking through a wall!"
"Your strength is simply too incredible!"
"So, I want to seek refuge with you—to hire you!"
"In short, I feel that you can definitely protect me!"
After speaking, Li Yina again looked at Luo Wei expectantly with that pitiful gaze.
"I see..." Luo Wei stared at her with a scrutinizing look. "What benefits can you bring me?"
"Let me say this first: I'm not short of money, so don't think you can move me with that!"
Li Yina looked embarrassed. She had originally intended to throw money at Luo Wei.
She hadn't expected that path to be blocked.
Having no other choice, she could only act spoiled in a sweet, high-pitched voice.
"Can't you just take pity on me?"
"..." Luo Wei's face was covered in black lines.
This young lady was indeed very ditzy...
