Rotting Land: Survive
Chapter 691 - 680: Mutual Exploitation (5)
"Me?" He Lei snorted coldly, his shoulders shaking: "My radio was damn taken away a long time ago."
"Ah! No way, Lei bro, who the hell would have the guts to take even your radio!" Liu Yunpeng was dumbfounded. He really couldn’t think of anyone in the entire Factory who had the courage of a tiger and dared to mess with He Lei. In his view, even the arrogant Huang Yong would have to consider He Lei’s explosive temper.
After all, once He Lei gets furious, not even his own father might be able to calm him down.
But this was just Liu Yunpeng’s imagination. He had absolutely no idea about his father’s terrifying status in these people’s hearts. He only saw the fatherly side his father showed in front of him, completely unaware of his father’s cruel and malicious nature.
If he knew even a bit of it, he definitely wouldn’t harbor such childish thoughts.
"Hmph, who else! It was damn Huang Yong who took it. He said it was President Liu’s idea, implying I worked hard last time I went out, so to let me rest assured, he temporarily kept it for me. Damn, do they take me for an idiot? Rest, my ass!" He Lei was like this—once he got angry, he didn’t care about anything. He cursed recklessly, without considering that Liu Fugui’s own son was right beside him.
Liu Yunpeng’s mouth twitched awkwardly. Although he didn’t have any deep feelings for Cheng Fugui, he was still his father, and He Lei was his father’s subordinate. Now that a subordinate was disrespecting his father right in front of him, it was somewhat embarrassing.
What made it most awkward was his helplessness. After much consideration, he finally aimed blame at Huang Yong: "Lei bro, my dad definitely wouldn’t do such a thing—it must be that Huang Yong stirring something up behind his back. This guy’s so sneaky, one way in front of people, another behind their backs. Damn, Lei bro, just for his arrogance, we should seize this opportunity to teach him a good lesson."
He Lei nodded: "All those useless things are pointless! The problem now is that I don’t have a radio; even if I wanted to contact the other side, I couldn’t!"
"Lei bro! I have a radio!" At this moment, Liu Yunpeng’s expression was like showing off his fortune to a destitute unlucky guy. But He Lei didn’t show much excitement about this.
Of course, everyone knows you’d have a radio, since you’re Liu Fugui’s most favored son. If they didn’t equip you with a radio, they’d be crazy: "Damn, you have it and made me waste so much breath. Hurry up and bring it out!"
He Lei’s criticism made Liu Yunpeng feel a bit embarrassed. He first poured a small drink for He Lei, then scratched his head and said, "Lei bro, my radio is in my room. I’ll go get it now. You have some food first."
"Alright, hurry up then." After sending Liu Yunpeng off, He Lei cursed him for being an idiot a few more times, then picked up chopsticks to enjoy Liu Shi’s delicious meal, only to find the plates almost empty with nothing left.
So, he got up and went to the window, taking out a cigarette and lighting it for himself. Between puffs, he gazed into the distance with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
Usually, Liu Yunpeng rarely used his radio, which was understandable. In the Factory, he didn’t need to participate in any protective duties. If something difficult came up, he just had to alert his subordinates, and they’d handle it for him, confirming that he didn’t need the radio. Luckily, he still remembered where he left it, or it’d be a headache to find now.
Who made him a lazy bum who couldn’t manage things from a young age.
Puffed up with breath after carrying the radio back to He Lei’s room, Liu Yunpeng gasped: "Lei...Lei bro, I’m back!"
More nonsense, He Lei thought his patience today was surprisingly good: "Did you bring it?"
"Brought it!" Liu Yunpeng seemed a bit excited, as if already seeing Huang Yong begging for mercy: "Here, Lei bro!"
"Hmm!" He Lei reached out and took the radio, adjusted it a bit, then sternly told Liu Yunpeng: "I’m about to contact the other side. Remember to stay quiet during the call. Don’t let them detect anything strange, or it won’t work. Also, if this gets exposed, don’t forget what you promised earlier!"
"Lei bro, just go ahead; no matter what happens, I’ll say it was my idea and take responsibility." Liu Yunpeng decided to go all out; whatever it took to make Huang Yong embarrassed and punished in front of him, he’d do anything.
"Good!" He Lei wasn’t one to fuss. Although he didn’t have much hope for Liu Yunpeng being really helpful, having something was better than nothing: "Hello, this is He Lei, do you hear me? There’s a task. Over!"
It must be said that He Lei’s tone had a sort of unassailable force, which pleased Liu Yunpeng. He perked up his ears, wanting to hear how He Lei would trick them into revealing information. But to his frustration, he couldn’t understand what He Lei was saying next; it felt like he was discussing something else rather than inquiring about Huang Yaru.
After He Lei finished speaking, he hurriedly asked: "Lei bro, what were you saying just now? Why didn’t you ask if they were with my girlfriend?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
He Lei glared at Liu Yunpeng and whispered angrily: "Damn, how did I tell you just now? Stay quiet during my call. Damn idiot!"
"I..." Liu Yunpeng wanted to argue but was glared back into silence.
He Lei repeatedly called him an idiot, which stirred anger in Liu Yunpeng, who’d been pampered since young. He secretly vowed to himself to settle the score with He Lei after dealing with Huang Yong.
He Lei repeated the words a few more times, but there was no response from the contacted side. Finally losing his patience, He Lei stormed to the bed and slammed the radio onto it, cursing furiously: "These bastards dare not respond to me!"
Seeing He Lei in a rage, Liu Yunpeng dared not ask more but muttered softly: "Lei bro, what were you asking earlier?"
"I was using a code usually meant for emergencies. My point was that something big happened at the Factory and they needed to reply immediately due to an urgent task. My aim was to ensure contact with them, but as you heard, there was no damn reply!"
"What do we do now!" Liu Yunpeng once again fell into a state of anxiety. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit qidian.com to cast your recommendation and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
