Chapter 10: The Hero Saves the Beauty

"Quickly tell me the emergency number for the Lake Protection Office," Liang Siyu asked anxiously

Indeed, when Lei Tian launched the pedal boat, Xu Menqing and Liang Siyi also boarded that premeditated pedal boat

"Rest assured, I will handle it properly for you as you have instructed," Lei Tian said, patting his chest with full confidence

Liang Siyu does not know how to swim, a fact that Xu Menqing had already investigated thoroughly. At this moment, the pedal boat they were enjoying suddenly began to take on water, how could they not be alarmed

Liang Siyu, who had initially felt somewhat calm due to Xu Menqing's composure, suddenly became anxious again and hurriedly opened her bag.

Even if Liang Qifang has withdrawn from public life, his status in the local circles of Nanning is undoubtedly significant, and he may still have people under his command.

Recalling that day when Liang Siyu almost gave him a beating, Lei Tianliang took a long time to react, especially when compared to his current gentle demeanor that seemed almost unreal

On a rainy day, Lei Tian saw two people holding hands in the crowd, walking towards him. He immediately stood up, walked to the pedal boat rental location, and took a boat.

A faint sound, almost imperceptible, emanated from the area where the pedal boats were rented. Upon hearing the name Xu Shao, Lei Tian immediately became attentive, and Meng Rao Si turned a corner and inquired further.

On a stone bench by the lake, Lei Tian sat wearing a duckbill cap and sunglasses, holding a high-definition professional camera he had obtained from Zhang Fuyang, embodying the demeanor of a traveler, occasionally capturing photographs like a tourist.

"Thunder Boy, stop your nonsense. I've given you the basic information you wanted. You need to investigate thoroughly. If this kid dares to have any bad intentions, I won't let him off easily," Liang Qifang said impatiently, clearly showing that he was quite anxious when it came to his daughter.

Receiving the first business deal for books and pens aside from the friendly sponsorship from Li Hangong, Lei Tian was very dedicated. Although Xu Menqing could not be tracked for the time being, with the insider Liang Qi Fang, Lei Tian could naturally keep tabs on Liang Siyu's movements. Therefore, he came here today.

Ah, this is bad, there is a leak." Soon, a cry of alarm was heard from that side, as Liang Siyu discovered water gushing from beneath the boat, frightening her into a state of panic

The paddle boat had sunk halfway and was already swaying. Xu Menqing jumped into the lake, reaching out a hand towards Liang Siyu, "Siyu, don't be afraid. Even if I have to swim, I will bring you to shore."

His father is a senior official in the Nanning Municipal Committee. Relying on his father's connections, Huang Dongyang has already entered the government agency. As long as he endures and gains experience, his future will naturally not be a problem. If he also has a group of people under him, then Nanning will eventually be his domain.

This young man is Zhang Chang. On that meteor shower night, it was he who threw Lei Tian down from the mountain peak. Although Lei Tian did not pay particular attention, he would still recognize him.

In just two days, Huang Dongyang, the wealthy and handsome young man, was exposed online, losing all his face. Fortunately, the spread within Nanning was contained under the intervention of Huang Dongyang's father, Huang Xianwei, with posts being deleted and banned as necessary. However, similar posts had already spread beyond Nanning, as Weibo can broadcast nationwide. Huang Xianwei was powerless in this regard. The commotion caused by the son of a city committee member has already become one of the top ten jokes of the year

The paddle boat quickly reached the center of the lake, not far from Qingyun Island, and Xu Menqing's hand had already touched that fine line

Upon hearing the name Lei Tian, Huang Dongyang's good mood instantly turned stormy. "Move, of course we must move, but do not act on Liang Qi's territory. Find me an opportunity to deal with him severely."

Such a good thing, unexpectedly encountered by Xu Menqing, how could they not be pleased

In a place invisible during a thunderstorm, a boatman was flirtatiously speaking to a somewhat arrogant young man. Upon seeing the young man, Lei Tian's gaze sharpened, fixating intently on him

The woman in question was none other than the one whom Lei Tian had encountered on the way back from resigning at the company that day, and he had thrown her fish into muddy water, causing them to drown, and then he had braised them.

On the surface, Lei Tian was there for photography, leisurely paddling the boat, occasionally raising his camera. Yao Yao and Xu Menqing's boat remained within a hundred meters of each other.

Xu Menqing seemed to come to his senses, displaying a manly demeanor, and calmly said, "Siyi, do not be afraid, I am here."

Xu Menqing was somewhat taken aback, "I, I don't know either"

Very well, I caught a few fish that day, and today I will help you expose the true nature of that scoundrel. However, I must not let her recognize me. Lei Tian thought to himself as he quickly took out a fake mustache from his bag and changed his appearance.

I said, Brother Fang, given your current status, it should not require my assistance to investigate such a person. I forgot to ask you last time, could it be that you are genuinely looking out for my business

His gaze searched around, and soon, Lei Tian spotted the figure of Xu Menqing in the photograph. However, when he saw the woman beside Xu Menqing, his eyes nearly bulged out in surprise.

Ah? Xu Menqing seemed to finally realize, and when he looked down, there was indeed water bubbling up from the bottom of the boat, resembling a small Baotu Spring.

"If you still want a hero to save the beauty, I will turn you into a drenched bear." Originally, I did not take the task regarding Liang Qi Fang too seriously, treating it merely as a routine assignment. However, since I encountered an acquaintance, that is a different matter altogether.

Qingyun Lake is the only natural lake within the city of Nanning. Although it is referred to as a lake, it is not particularly large. However, Qingyun Island is situated on Qingyun Lake, which features the Qingyun Tower. With significant investment of manpower and resources from the Nanning city government to enhance the environment of Qingyun Lake, the entire area is picturesque. In Nanning, it is a rare and excellent place for leisure, and it is also a wonderful setting for nurturing relationships. The investment made by the Nanning city government to improve the environment of Qingyun Lake has resulted in a beautiful landscape throughout the area, making it a unique leisure destination in Nanning, as well as a great place for fostering connections.

"Hurry, hurry, call for help," Liang Siyu suddenly said

Previously, Lei Tian was shamelessly pushing for business, but later he realized that it was not right. After all, Liang Qi was also part of the circle, and investigating such a person would be easy and straightforward.

In a situation like this, even if Zhang Fuyang were to walk past him, he might not be able to recognize that the person under the duckbill cap is Lei Tian

"Interesting." Lei Tian let out a cold laugh, no wonder he found Xu Menqing somewhat familiar; it turns out they were indeed acquaintances

Has it begun? Lei Tian's lips curled into a slight arc, his eyes narrowing slightly, and from the perspective of a dreamlike silk, he observed Xu Menqing's every move in detail

Xu Menqing nodded and bowed, and they followed Huang Dongyang, precisely to leverage the influence of the Huang family. Now that he had created an excellent opportunity for himself, how could he not understand the importance of seizing it

However, I must say, Fang Ge, what kind of partner has your daughter found? With her lowered brows and obedient demeanor, it is clear she is not a good person. Moreover, she has chosen a terrible name, Xu Menqing; isn't that just a reference to Ximen Qing? Lei Tian commented on Xu Menqing's photo, shaking his head in disapproval. His gaze swept over the photo, which depicted Liang Qi, Fang's daughter, and he felt that a beautiful flower had been planted in the wrong place

Heroic rescue? Could it be? Lei Tian felt a stir in his heart, and as his dreams lingered, he reached towards the pedal boat beside them. He quickly discovered something unusual: at the bottom of the pedal boat, there was a wooden plug. The plug was connected to a thin line, which was tied to an inconspicuous spot on the boat's hull. If this plug were to be pulled out, the pedal boat would inevitably take on water and sink

Zhang Shao, the task you entrusted to me has been completed. As soon as Xu Shao boards my ship, he will surely have the opportunity to perform a heroic rescue.

Liang Siyu was deeply moved and was just about to enter the water when she heard the sound of a pedal boat approaching. A pedal boat rushed over, causing the waves to push Xu Menqing several meters away. It was none other than Lei Tian.

Xu Menqing is fair-skinned and well-dressed, exuding the charm of a sunny boy, which is quite attractive to young girls. Liang Siyi, on the other hand, is dressed in a dress, maintaining her pure and lovely demeanor. The two are engaged in cheerful conversation, but unfortunately, Lei Tian's dream can only see them and cannot convey sound, unless one enters the dream.

In that moment, Liang Siyu surprisingly forgot to call for help. Xu Menqing's display of masculinity made the young girl in love's heart flutter, and she actually believed in Xu Menqing, presenting herself as if she were leaving the decision to him.

Is it him?" Lei Tian thought to himself, feeling a sense of unexpectedness.

As Lei Tian, who is determined to make a name for himself in the detective industry, reads those books with purpose. During the day, it is essential to have the necessary disguises, and after seeing the photo provided by Changmao, Lei Tian understands that even at night, disguises are imperative; otherwise, one might inadvertently reveal their true identity.

Xu Menqing, I will transfer two hundred thousand to your account. Please take care of Liang Siyi as soon as possible. Once the matter is resolved, you will certainly benefit from it. Huang Dongyang was in high spirits, having shaken off the gloom he felt yesterday.

If Xu Menqing could become the son-in-law of Liang Qifang, with Huang Dongyang's support, there might still be hope in recruiting Liang Qifang's followers. At that time, with people from the underworld under Huang Dongyang's command, it could be said that he would have a foothold in both the legitimate and illegitimate realms.

The reason he did not use his own people to investigate, but instead placed his trust in this false private detective, Lei Tian, was largely due to his fear that his daughter would develop a dislike for him

At this moment, the two were strolling along the banks of Qingyun Lake. Lei Tian was not foolishly following them the entire way; instead, he sat by the roadside like a tourist. With the presence of a dreamlike aura, even without using his eyes, he could navigate without getting lost as long as Liang Siyu and the others passed by him on this essential path.

In the thunderous sky, one suddenly realizes that a fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken; even those who retreat from the world have their reservations.

What the heck, is that spicy girl the landlord's daughter

"Huang Shao, is that Lei Tian still moving around?" Wang Anhui inquired, while another person, Ma Wenshan, also looked at Huang Dongyang with anxiety. The four of them could be considered Huang Dongyang's loyal subordinates; Huang Dongyang was their everything.

The picturesque scenery of the lake, with its shimmering waters and majestic mountains, is complemented by pedal boats gliding across the surface, carrying couples in joyful haste. Among the beauty of this place, the presence of resting white swans on the lake is one of the highlights, drawing forth laughter from many men and women.

"Si Yi, don't worry, I will call for help right away," Xu Menqing pretended to be serious and quickly took out his phone. However, at that moment, the small boat swayed, and with a splash, the phone fell into the water.

Xu Menqing, in the rented house, held the materials provided by Liang Qi on a stormy day, feeling somewhat strange

Liang Siyu was momentarily stunned; dialing 110 would definitely be too late. Her beautiful eyes scanned the surroundings, only to find that there were no boats nearby, with the closest one at least a hundred meters away.

He holds a camera in his hand; although it is not a pair, it will not raise any suspicions from anyone

On a rainy day, I come to Qingyun Lake, not to cultivate any feelings, nor to capture the scenery here, but to follow Xu Menqing and Liang Siyi.

Liang Qi shot a displeased glance at Lei Tian and said, "Do you think you are still the same Liang Ye as before?"
