The 29th of the twelfth… one day before the 30th.
Shi Lei stayed at home in the morning as he pondered how to use the pill which could save one's life and what the use of the Lotus Tongue Card was.
It wasn't that Shi Lei was overthinking. Normally speaking, he should be able to use the Black Card's reward relatively soon. Of course, the cards he knew from the prize pool was adjusting the big picture and making Shi Lei use it as quickly as possible. Shi Lei thought that the Black Card was training his basic ability to use the cards. After all, no matter how much he learned about them, it was best to use it. Especially with the Millionaire Card and Animal Language Card, Shi Lei wouldn't have known its other functions without using it.
The rewards this time were given by the Black Card in a straightforward manner and Shi Lei questioned that the Black Card did it intentionally.
About the pill which could save a life, the best way Shi Lei could use it in his current situation was on Wei Xingyue's godfather who was diagnosed with an incurable disease and let Wei Xingyue give him the pill. Once he was healed, he should help, right? Then Wei Xingyue would be saved naturally.
However, Shi Lei saw the person Song Miaomiao mentioned in news before. He was rather healthy and he frequently appeared in important meetings in different countries without a sign of an unhealthy body. And he was a leader at such a high level. Even if there was any disease, it was going to be discovered during its early stages. The check-ups definitely weren't the ones people usually got for a few hundred yuan at a random hospital. Hence, Shi Lei had never really heard of high-level leaders getting incurable diseases as they all lived long lives. After all, they represented the foundation of a country.
So as to where to use the pill, Shi Lei couldn't really find an answer.
For the Lotus Tongue Card, this thing possessed immense power and even if he only had one chance to use it, it could change a situation immensely.
Shi Lei let his imagination ran wild. He would talk to the biggest boss in China and speak in front of him. The time depended on the target's will anyway as well as their immunity and he could stop when the target was fully convinced. Then, not to mention the Yu family, no one else could touch the Wei under the big boss' command.
But it was just a joke. What shitty background did Shi Lei have? He didn't even get rid of his loser qualities yet and he wanted to meet a big boss? He would be dead before he could reach 500 meters of the big boss. He couldn't possibly tell Wei Xingyue to ask his godfather and then make her godfather take him to the big boss, could he? It was possible that even Wei Xingyue couldn't see his godfather. Wei Xingyue was out of touch and there was no news after staying in Didu for so long. Shi Lei knew without asking as it was likely because her godfather refused to see her. Otherwise, there should have been a result no matter what.
Hence, although this brainwashing card was extremely good, it had to be used first. If he couldn't see the person, there was nothing he could do.
A more ordinary thought was contacting Yu Banzhi and persuading him to make him give up.
However, after the conversation with Yu Banzhi, Shi Lei realized that it was against Yu Banzhi's will in the first place as he didn't think that his father's decision was correct. However, the family was in need and he had to do it. Hence, even if Shi Lei persuaded him, this wasn't going to stop as someone else would step in to take over Yu Banzhi's place and complete his mission. Yu Banzhi would also end up being a rebellious son in front of his father and his grandfather.
It was easy to speak to the Song family. Shi Lei believed that if he requested, Song Miaomiao would take him to her grandfather immediately. Then, if he convinced her grandfather, the Song family definitely wouldn't join forces with the Yu family.
But it was useless. Yu Banzhi made it very clear that without the Song family's support, this would still be a success. They would just have more grasp with their support. Perhaps the price they had to pay would be smaller. But things already escalated and how was Yu Banzhi someone who was unwilling to pay the price for it?
After considering everything, Shi Lei didn't know how to solve this.
Luckily, Yu Banzhi said that the first goner from the Wei family would be Wei Jingang and it would begin after the New Year's holiday.
Honestly speaking, Shi Lei didn't want to save Wei Jingang at all. No matter what, it was a family's lives. Wei JIngang was only eighteen years old at the time. How was he any different from a butcher? People like this truly deserved to die. And what if he saved him? It couldn't help him change the big picture at all.
Shi Lei composed himself as he needed to go back to Wudong to pick up Sun Yiyi and her mother. It was almost 2 PM and Shi Lei decided to think about it more after the New Year.
He could go back to Wudong earlier. He had to drive Sun Yiyi and her mother back after the New Year anyway and he could stay in Wudong instead.
Shi Lei told his parents and drove his Maserati Quattroporte towards Wudong.
Shi Lei's parents were busy at home. Shi Lei's mother already organized a room for the mother and daughter, but she constantly checked as she didn't want to be a poor host to her future daughter-in-law.
An hour later, Shi Lei exited the highway and he was back in Wudong.
He parked the car on the side and called Sun Yiyi.
"Yiyi, I'm in Wudong now. When does your Mum finish work? Have you finished packing?"
Sun Yiyi was obviously excited as she laughed, "I finished packing a long ago. Mum said that the company will let them go home earlier and that there's not much to do before the New Years. She said she should be home around 4 PM."
"Alright. I just exited the highway and I should arrive at your place in the city around 4 PM. We'll leave immediately and make it to dinner in time."
They chatted for a while more before Shi Lei drove towards the city.
There was some extra time and Shi Lei didn't go straight to Sun Yiyi's place. He returned to his apartment first and he thought that if Wei Xingyue wanted to, she could definitely enter his room. Hence, Shi Lei wanted to see if Wei Xingyue left anything behind for him.
Looking at the familiar furnishings placed in their spots and the traces that Wei Xingyue left on the couch and on the bed, Shi Lei's heart was filled with sorrow.
How did a storm suddenly arise?
In this storm, neither side was completely innocent. The only innocent people were ones like Wei Xingyue who were dragged into it for no reason.
There was no change in the room and Shi Lei couldn't find any traces of Wei Xingyue re-entering the room. He composed himself, wiped away the tears in the corner of his eyes and promised silently, "Xingyue, don't worry. I will save you no matter what."
Then, Shi Lei left his apartment and went to Sun Yiyi's house.
Sun Yiyi's mother and Shi Lei arrived one after the other as she came home about three to five minutes earlier. When Shi Lei arrived, she was taking out the luggage with Sun Yiyi.
Shi Lei quickly greeted her and took over the luggage in their hands, throwing them into the car.
"Aunt, let's go. If there's no traffic, you and Yiyi can have a shower after we arrive before dinner."
Sun Yiyi's mother was delighted but worried at the same time, "Shitou, are your parents well?"
Shi Lei understood what she was worried about and he beamed, "Don't worry. My parents have been urging me to contact you so I don't miss it. They've been cleaning the house constantly because they were scared that you two wouldn't be accustomed to it."
"Sorry to bother your parents…" Sun Yiyi's mother was embarrassed.
Shi Lei smiled, "Not at all. With aunt and Yiyi, our family can have a merrier New Year."
