Chapter 642: Chapter 642: The Suspicious Magotan
The car was slowly driving along the road.
Intersection.
Rong Ling eased off the accelerator and gently pressed the brake.
After driving through a few intersections, he got the hang of controlling this car.
He couldn’t help but glance to his side.
Li Yufei lightly leaned her elbow against the car window, resting her hand, and closed her eyes for a nap.
Her face was very pretty, with a classic oval shape and a very delicate jawline. Just by looking, it was hard to tell that she was a married woman who’d had children, but both her attire and aura gave off a sense of mature elegance. Her every move carried a commanding presence. However, at the moment, with her eyes closed for a nap, there was a serene beauty about her—especially today, as she wasn’t wearing her work attire. Since it wasn’t a workday, she eased up on her usual efficiency, making her seem more approachable.
Li Yufei hadn’t slept well the night before, so by the time they got in the car, she took the opportunity for a quick nap.
No one knew what was up today, but the traffic on the road was quite congested.
The car moved and stopped, which was quite soporific.
She didn’t know how long she had slept when Junjun’s gentle voice rang in her ear: “Mom, we’ve arrived!”
Li Yufei opened her eyes and turned her face towards the voice.
Junjun was leaning against her headrest, blinking his pretty eyes: “Mom, are you really tired? Do you want to rest for a while in the car?”
Li Yufei found it hard to open her eyes; maybe she hadn’t fully awakened yet.
Junjun said, “I saw Dad.”
Du Shaoheng and Guan Yue came over to the car and saw Li Yufei sitting in the passenger seat with Rong Ling in the driver’s seat, and were momentarily stunned.
They hadn’t expected Rong Ling to be there as well.
Junjun opened the car door and got out, telling Du Shaoheng, “Dad, Mom seems a little tired. Let her rest in the car for a while!”
Du Shaoheng said, “I don’t feel comfortable leaving her alone in the car.”
Rong Ling said, “Mr. Du, it’s alright, I will stay with her.”
After speaking, he reached out and gently held Li Yufei’s hand.
Li Yufei hadn’t fully come to her senses, only feeling a warm, large hand lightly covering hers.
She glanced at Du Shaoheng: “You guys go have fun first; I’ll sit here for a while.”
Du Shaoheng asked, “Did you not sleep well last night?”
Li Yufei replied, “There was an overseas conference, about a case; I worked through half the night.”
Du Shaoheng said, “Alright… since he is with you… we’ll take the two kids for a walk in the park first.”
Li Yufei: “Alright.”
Du Shaoheng told Rong Ling, “Take care of her. If she wants to keep sleeping in the car, don’t leave her, and remember to roll the window down a bit.”
Rong Ling smiled slightly: “I know how to take care of people.”
Du Shaoheng pursed his lips, took Junjun’s hand, and turned around.
Xixi hopped along and caught up, holding onto Du Shaoheng’s other hand.
Guan Yue looked at Li Yufei, hesitated to speak, but seeing Du Shaoheng walking away with Junjun and Xixi, she hurriedly followed along.
The car was quiet.
Li Yufei closed her eyes, leaned back against the headrest, and soon fell asleep again.
Rong Ling rolled down the window a bit and gazed outside.
The weather was nice today.
Blue skies and white clouds.
Not far from the parking spot was the park’s vast lake.
Sunlight danced on the water’s surface, and a gentle breeze brought fresh air to breathe.
Beside him, Li Yufei suddenly shifted.
Rong Ling looked over at her.
She had been leaning against the window; perhaps the wind was too strong, so she adjusted her position, leaning towards him.
Rong Ling’s arm rested on the armrest.
She comfortably leaned on his arm and fell asleep again.
When she slept, she was particularly quiet, even her breathing was barely audible.
Rong Ling furrowed his brow slightly, reached out his hand, and checked her breathing by her nose to feel her gentle breaths.
He didn’t know how much time passed.
Suddenly, the low rumble of an engine sounded from outside.
A car slowly parked behind the Bentley and turned off its engine.
Rong Ling inadvertently glanced up and looked in the rearview mirror; he could see the movements of the car behind them.
A Volkswagen Magotan was parked behind them, and through the windshield, he saw two men inside the car, one in the driver’s seat and one in the passenger’s.
The man in the driver’s seat was staring intently at the Bentley, as if cautiously observing something.
The man in the passenger seat kept looking out the window.
Rong Ling grew suspicious.
He felt something was odd about these two men.
The parking lot was large.
There were many empty spaces, yet this car coincidentally parked behind theirs.
He restarted the car, drove out of the parking space, and as soon as the Magotan saw the Bentley leaving, it immediately started its engine.
Rong Ling turned the steering wheel and found a new parking spot. From his angle, he could see the Magotan had turned off its engine again.
Li Yufei was startled awake by the sound of the car engine starting up, raising her head with a sleepy expression: “What’s going on?”
Rong Ling said, “Just changing parking spots.”
He looked at Li Yufei: “You’re awake?”
Li Yufei replied, “Yeah… a bit dizzy.”
She had been sleeping on Rong Ling’s arm, and the sudden change of direction made her feel a bit dizzy, which woke her up.
Right now, the wind was blowing in through the window, making her feel more awake.
Li Yufei raised her wrist to check the time: “How long did I sleep?”
Rong Ling said, “About an hour.”
Li Yufei took out her phone and called Du Shaoheng, asking where they were.
Du Shaoheng said they were about to take Junjun and Xixi to play on the paddle boats.
The park had many recreational activities.
Since the park had a big lake, they had set up many paddle boats.
Li Yufei said, “Alright, we’ll be there soon.”
She pushed open the car door to get out.
But Rong Ling held her hand: “Wait a moment.”
Li Yufei: “What is it?”
Rong Ling: “Wait for me in the car.”
After saying this, he pushed the car door open and got out, walking towards the Magotan.
The Magotan’s owner saw him walking over and rolled down the window, a man sitting in the driver’s seat smoking and squinting at him.
Rong Ling approached the car door and cautiously scrutinized him.
The Magotan’s owner sarcastically asked, “What are you doing?”
Rong Ling said, “I should be asking you, what are you doing here?”
The Magotan’s owner sneered, “Ridiculous, why should we tell you what we’re doing? We’re sitting here minding our own business, what’s it to you?”
Rong Ling didn’t say anything and just walked around to the front of the car, taking a look.
The Magotan wasn’t new, appearing to be an old car of four or five years.
But the license plate was brand-new, and the color of the plate seemed somewhat off.
As if it were a cloned license plate.
“Honk! Honk!”
The Magotan’s owner suddenly honked loudly!
Rong Ling looked up.
The owner stuck out his head, angrily cursing, “What are you standing there dumbfounded at the front of the car for!? Be careful or I’ll run you over with a stomp on the gas!”
Rong Ling walked to the driver’s side of the car, and with a loud “bang,” supported himself on the car window frame with such force that the car door shook.
