Rebirth 78: After being jilted at the altar, I reached the pinnacle!

"Didn't the old man get involved in this matter? If he had, the police station would probably have given him some face, right? Or did the old man simply not want to get involved in this matter at all?" Li Hanliang said.

"Don't even mention it. Although my grandfather knows my brother wouldn't do such a thing, forget about him going to the police station to bail him out. He definitely won't do that." Pei Shuxin smiled helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Li Hanliang could only smile helplessly. For the old man of the Pei family, this was indeed something he was capable of doing.

Before long, as dusk fell, Li Hanliang took Pei Shuxin home and then returned to the restaurant himself.

At this moment, inside the Jing family's old residence, Jing Kaiyuan looked at his subordinates standing in front of him with a gloomy expression: "What have you found out this time?"

A thug stepped forward and whispered, "We found out that Li Hanliang went to the Pei family. I think the Pei family might help him."

"The Pei family... would they really get involved for Li Hanliang's sake?" Upon hearing this, Jing Kaiyuan's heart skipped a beat, and his face grew even more grim.

"Uncle Kaiyuan, what should we do if the Pei family really intends to get involved?" Jing Wenqiang asked from the side.

"Don't act rashly for now. If the Pei family really gets involved, this matter will become troublesome," Jing Kaiyuan ordered in a deep voice.

As night fell, every household in the county turned off their lights and went to sleep, and the streets were quiet.

However, the first floor of Li's Restaurant was brightly lit, with everyone sitting together.

Li Hanliang stood before the crowd, his expression serious.

The surrounding employees also looked worried, quietly waiting for his next instructions.

“I’m sure everyone knows what the Jing family has been up to lately.” Li Hanliang glanced at everyone. “Now the Pei family will come to our aid, but we can’t rely on them completely. We also need to make some preparations for any eventuality.”

Liu Lanfang nodded in agreement: "The boss is right. We can't put all our hopes on the Pei family. We should be prepared for any eventuality and have some countermeasures in place so that we can deal with any situation as it arises."

“Lanfang is right. So what do you think we should do?” Li Hanliang asked.

Old Zhang, the accountant at the restaurant, said, "I think we can contact some friends we've worked with before and explore more avenues, so that we won't be too passive if unexpected situations arise."

Li Hanliang nodded, secretly praising Lao Zhang for being quite thoughtful.

Just then, Liu Quanyou spoke up, "Boss, I think Lao Zhang's method is a bit flawed."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Li Hanliang immediately became interested. "Why do you have such an idea?"

“Boss, Anfeng County is, after all, the Jing family’s home turf. If we contact people we’ve worked with before, we’ll inevitably find ourselves in a passive position, which will make all our actions much more difficult,” Liu Quanyou explained.

Li Hanliang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Quan You's words make sense. So what do you think we should do?"

Liu Quanyou pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "I think we should make some preparations in secret, such as contacting people outside the county. That way, even on the Jing family's territory, we won't be too passive."

"Hmm, that's a good idea." Li Hanliang nodded. "However, we need to discuss the specifics of how to implement it. Let's all share our thoughts."

At this moment, an old employee named Wang Dazhu interjected, "Boss, we can actually approach this from other angles, such as strengthening our security measures to prevent sabotage, and also keeping a low profile so that the Jing family can't find any leverage against us."

“Yes, safety measures must be in place!” another young employee, Xiao Zhou, added.

After discussing for a while, Li Hanliang decided to adopt a multi-pronged approach: strengthening internal security measures on the one hand, and seeking external support on the other.

The next day, Li Hanliang came to the Pei family again, where Pei Zhenguo was already waiting for him.

“Hanliang, I have sent people to investigate the situation you described,” Pei Zhenguo said. “It is indeed not optimistic. The people behind the Jing family are far more powerful than you think. However, it’s not that there is no way to deal with it. It’s just that this matter needs to be considered carefully.”

"Thank you, Mr. Pei. I feel much more at ease knowing that you said that," Li Hanliang said gratefully.

Just as they were talking, a crisp footstep came from outside the door, and Pei Shuxin walked in carrying a pot of tea.

"Grandpa, Hanliang, please have some tea and rest for a while. We can talk about it slowly."

Pei Zhenguo nodded with a smile, while Pei Shuxin quietly poured tea.

Not long after, Pei Zhenguo returned to his study.

Li Hanliang knew that the old man was creating an opportunity for him and Pei Shuxin to be alone together.

Pei Shuxin blushed and sat down next to Li Hanliang.

"Shuxin, how's Jianjun doing?" Li Hanliang asked, patting Pei Shuxin's head.

Upon hearing Li Hanliang mention Pei Jianjun, Pei Shuxin sighed, looking somewhat worried. "There hasn't been any progress yet, but Grandpa has already sent someone to the police station to inquire about the situation. I believe my brother is innocent, and there will always be a way to resolve this."

“Since the old man has already sent people to investigate, there shouldn’t be any problems, so don’t worry. But don’t go out these next few days, I’m worried the Jing family might take action against you,” Li Hanliang said worriedly.

He knew that Pei Shuxin was now the easiest target for the Jing family, so he had to handle this matter carefully.

In the following days, Li Hanliang began to implement his plan.

On the one hand, he strengthened the restaurant's security measures, installed surveillance equipment, and hired several security personnel.

On the other hand, he secretly contacted some friends in the city, hoping to get their help.

Some time later, in a small teahouse, several people were gathered together discussing something.

"Have you heard? The Jing family is really ruthless this time; they're preparing to kill us!"

"Sigh, really, Mr. Li is actually a pretty good person, so why does the Jing family have to go against him?"

"Who knows? But it seems that Mr. Li has asked the Pei family for help. If the Pei family can really step in, then we don't need to worry."

"But I heard that the Pei family won't help easily. Is Mr. Li really capable?"

"Don't worry unnecessarily. I heard that the Pei family has already restrained the people behind the Jing family, and we should have a result soon."

Just then, a young man rushed into the teahouse and excitedly shouted, "Look, look! Jing Kaiyuan has been caught! I heard the police acted very quickly; none of the Jing family members escaped, they were all caught!"
