Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Meng Zhiling rolled her eyes and was too lazy to answer her. It was better for her to stay away from such an idiotic question and such an idiotic person, otherwise it would be bad if she got infected.

"Mr. Qiao, do you want to take a rest?" Mother Li was preparing ingredients for tomorrow when she saw Qiao Surong coming out and greeted him warmly.

In fact, she knew the identities of Li Yao's friends very well. Even if she didn't pay attention to economics or business, she could always see Qiao Surong on the screen when she changed the TV channels. Such a big business tycoon, even if this place was so remote, she would know a little bit about it.

So when speaking, I am always extra careful and polite.

"Auntie, let me help you." Qiao Surong squatted down, looking casual, completely different from his previous aloofness.

"Oh, Mr. Qiao, no, no, it's my honor for you to come visit me with your noble status. It's just a small matter, no need to trouble you." Because of Qiao Surong's sudden behavior, Mother Li was frightened and she also responded with respect and politeness.

"What's there to worry about? I don't have a very noble status. I just have a little more money than ordinary people." Qiao Surong rolled up his sleeves. He usually looked like a germaphobe at home, but now that he was here, he was as casual as can be.

Mother Li broke out in a cold sweat. What did they mean by "a few more bucks"? Rich people just talk without any pain in their backs. They don't understand the hardships of ordinary people like them at all.

But, you are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish? They are people from two different worlds. Even if I can understand you, you may not know that I can understand you.

"Auntie, besides us, have there been any outsiders coming to our village recently?" Qiao Surong asked. He wanted to know who Meng Zhiling went to meet today, and why she looked so unhappy when she came back. But she didn't say anything, so he had to figure it out on his own. This village was so small, and if there were any outsiders, Mother Li would naturally know.

"Outsider? I've never heard of him!" Mother Li really thought about it seriously, and the result made Qiao Surong a little disappointed.

"But..." Then Mother Li seemed to remember something, but she was not sure whether there was someone who could be considered the outsider he was talking about.

"But what?" Qiao Surong asked anxiously.

"There is a man in our village who comes here once a month and every Chinese New Year. We have never asked about him, and we don't know his background or whether he is a local." Mother Li said simply.

In fact, she was talking about Ming Yi. Although Ming Yi's business achievements were on par with Qiao Surong, he rarely appeared in front of the media and always operated behind the scenes. Therefore, people all over the country only knew him but not what he looked like.

"Who are you talking about? Do you know his name?" Qiao Surong suddenly became interested. Could it be that Meng Meng had just met this strange person?

Mother Li shook her head in embarrassment and continued, "I don't know what it's called exactly. I only stay one night each time I come to the village, except during Chinese New Year, when I stay until the second day."

"Then where will he live? Who will he visit?" Qiao Surong grasped the crux of the matter. For someone who is not from the local area, such behavior must mean that he is here to accompany someone.

"Eighteen years ago, a young woman moved to our village. No one knew her name, or whether it was true or not. Anyway, she told us her name was Xia Zi. Legend has it that she was the daughter of a wealthy family, but because she got pregnant before marriage, she was kicked out by her family and ended up here with us. Our village chief was kind-hearted and took her in. Although she got pregnant before marriage, we never saw her child. She just said that her child was gone. Anyway, she stayed at home every day, and she didn't go out except to buy groceries."

Mother Li organized her words and told a brief story.

"Then what is the relationship between this person who comes every month and that woman?"

Mother Li shook her head again. "No one really knows. No one can explain it clearly anyway."

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Auntie!" Qiao Surong said very politely. After this, Mother Li was no longer so panicked!

That night, the three girls huddled in one bed, leaving the largest guest room in Li Yao's house to Qiao Surong. Qiao Surong had no one to vent her grievances about this.

He originally wanted to set up a tent in the yard and watch the stars with Meng Zhiling in his arms, but Meng Zhiling gave him a cold look. Qiao Surong immediately shut up and went into his guest room.

"Boss, why aren't you asleep yet so late? It seems you've suffered a lot while traveling. Where's your sister-in-law?" After returning to the house, Qiao Surong called his subordinates, but was met with "ridicule".

"Get out of here! If you continue to care about your sister-in-law, I'll kill you!" Qiao Surong was already in a bad mood and was waiting for someone to vent his anger.

"Okay, okay, but boss, it's really hard for us to live like this. You ask us to protect my sister-in-law, but there's nothing we can do even if we don't care about her!" The subordinate on the other side was not afraid of death at all. After all, he couldn't do anything to himself because of the screen.

Take this opportunity to lick him more!

"Believe it or not, I will come back and kill you right now. Don't think that no one can do anything to you just because you call yourself the King of Hell!" Qiao Surong said angrily with a gloomy face.

When the King of Hell heard this, he immediately became timid.

"Boss, what do you want me to do for you?" He asked in a flattering tone, almost standing up from the bed and saluting the phone.

"Check Ming Yi for me and see if he's not in Linhai City on a fixed day every month. If so, check his specific whereabouts on that day."

"Boss, you have never paid attention to the Ming family. Why are you so abnormal today? Is it that Ming Yi broke the rules and did something that is not good for us?" Yan Wang frowned and asked in surprise.

"No, it's about your sister-in-law." Qiao Surong said lightly.

He had long known that Ming Yi was extremely good to Meng Zhiling, but that kind of goodness was not about pursuit or admiration, but an indescribable kind of pampering and tolerance.

Thinking of his phoenix eyes that were somewhat similar to Meng Zhiling's, I should have thought that there might be some kind of relationship between them.

However, when Yan Wang and his men checked Zhiling's information for the first time, they couldn't find anything about her true identity. All they could find were some irrelevant things or things that many people knew.

"About my sister-in-law? Okay, Boss, I promise to complete the task!"

"There's no need to go through so much trouble to check. Maybe it's time to tell you some things!" Qiao Surong had just hung up the phone when the window was suddenly opened by some force. Then, standing outside the window in the moonlight was the elegant Ming Yi.

Qiao Surong was shocked, and it was also his fault that he was too relaxed just now and did not notice that someone was approaching and even "eavesdropping" for so long.

"Since you've found your way here, come in." Qiao Surong greeted him unenthusiastically.

If he hadn't come because of Meng Zhiling's matter, Qiao Surong would have taken action long ago.

If you count on your fingers, there are no more than five people in this world who can eavesdrop on his conversations.

Today, he is added to the list.

Ming Yi was not pretentious. He jumped up and was already in the house in the next second. He found a bench and sat down. Although there was no tea or wine, he still had a cigar!

He crossed his legs comfortably, lit a cigarette, and didn't speak for a long time, which whetted Qiao Surong's appetite.

"Just say whatever you want to say and get out of here as soon as possible. I believe you came to me directly because there are some things you don't want Zhiling to know, but if you stay too long, I can't guarantee that she won't feel that there is another person in this house!"

Qiao Surong sat coldly opposite Ming Yi, just like when they first met, both of them regarded each other as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

"Qiao Surong, after all, I am the elder in terms of seniority. Do you think the word 'get out' is suitable for me?" Ming Yi smiled slightly and responded calmly, not in a hurry to get to the point.

"If you don't get down to business, I'll immediately let you know how many ways there are to get out!" Qiao Surong said with a dark face, very uneasy and angry.

Ming Yi didn't take Qiao Surong's threat seriously at all.

Putting aside the question of who is more capable and who is less capable if he really fights with Qiao Surong, Qiao Surong would not dare to touch him at all just based on his guess about the subtle relationship between him and Meng Zhiling.

This is the conversation and psychological warfare between two men at the top of the food chain, and it all depends on who has better self-control.

It was obvious that Ming Yi had the upper hand in the first round.

"Don't be so angry, just listen to me slowly." Ming Yi cleared his throat and put out the cigarette he had just lit.

"The story has to start from eighteen years ago. At that time, you were still a child. You lost your mother in that car accident, and Zhiling's mother also lost her lover and her child in that car accident!"

Ming Yi spoke slowly and his thoughts seemed to have drifted back to many years ago, as if the horrific scene was clearly imprinted in his mind.

"Are you talking about Zhiling's mother who lost both her and Zhiling's father?" Qiao Surong frowned. It was the first time he listened to someone else's story so seriously. In fact, it wasn't entirely about someone else. He was also a victim of that car accident.

"Yes, that accident was intentionally caused by someone. It was originally intended to target your mother, but Zhiling and her family of three urgently needed to escape because of something, and their car happened to be side by side with your mother's, so they were unlucky enough to become victims as well!" Ming Yi touched the stubble under his chin. When he talked about what happened at that time, he, who was usually calm, revealed a fierce and resentful expression on his face.

"But Zhiling is obviously alive and well, why do you say that her mother lost her lover and child at the same time?" Qiao Surong always felt that this story was not that simple and it didn't make sense in theory. At the same time, he asked.
