Chapter 1226: Siblings (Part 2)
"She has to endure even if she can't."
"Hehe."
Wei Li laughed, completely dismissive, "Brother, why don't we make a bet? Big Sister won't settle down after coming back this time. Hendry Company was founded by her and Second Brother, only to hand it over to others. Even if it were me, I wouldn't let it go so easily, tsk, the avenger returns. If Big Sister wants to keep doing electronic fraud, then it won't be fun. Not to mention whether Dad will agree, but the other three families will probably get angry."
"Brother, I think we're doing quite well now, why engage in such unethical business? There are plenty of legitimate ways to make money, don't you think?"
Wei Li rambled on, but it was only with Wei Zu, her eldest brother who was like a father to her, that she could say so much.
No.
To be more precise, the fundamental reason was that Wei Zu shared the same views as her.
Even in the past, when Hendry Company was thriving, he, the first heir of the Wei Family, never got involved.
Why not get involved?
That's an attitude in itself.
"Can you be quiet for a moment? When Second Brother and Big Sister were around, why didn't you say anything?"
"I didn't dare."
Wei Li responded confidently, "At that time, everyone outside was afraid of them, and just mentioning their names made people tremble. How could I oppose them?"
"Outsiders feared them, but why would you be scared? They're your brother and sister."
"Brother, aren't you afraid of them?"
Wei Li suddenly asked, seemingly serious.
As the eldest brother, being afraid of your younger siblings?
It would be against all norms.
So Wei Zu chuckled reasonably, "I'm not afraid."
"Lies."
Wei Li spoke with conviction, as if she understood his thoughts, "Oh, you're not afraid of them; you're worried they might bring trouble to our Wei Family, aren't you? Then you should have stopped Dad from bringing her back."
She didn't even call her sister anymore.
No pretense left.
"I told you, I don't know. Besides, she's also Dad's child, what reason do I have to stop it?"
Wei Li ignored his words, "Brother, Dad is getting old, you're the eldest son, sometimes you need to show some courage."
Wei Zu stopped replying, silently driving.
Who says there are no factions in a family?
Train station.
The crowd bustled, lively and noisy.
True hiding is in the city.
The so-called low profile doesn't necessarily mean skulking around.
Wei Zu parked the car by the roadside, not in a rush to get out.
"What time is the train?"
While looking out the window, Wei Li asked casually.
"Arrival at 2:40."
Upon hearing this, Wei Li raised her wrist to look at the rose gold Nautilus watch, "Brother, you drove too fast, there's still half an hour."
"Since when did you become so time-conscious?"
Wei Li rolled her eyes and reached for the door.
"Where are you going?" Wei Zu asked.
"Going out for some fresh air."
"Can't you get fresh air in the car? Just open the window."
Wei Li laughed, "Brother, you stay in the car for fresh air."
She opened the door and got out.
"Don't wander too far."
Wei Zu called out.
Their close relationship made sense, with so many siblings, who else cared for her like this?
The train station was quite unfamiliar to Wei Li, as she usually traveled via private planes or with a bodyguard convoy. She looked around and spotted a shop near the station entrance.
"No need to search."
Wei Li walked into the shop, picked up a pack of women's cigarettes and a bottle of water, tossing down a US Dollar casually.
The cigarettes were for herself, the water was for her elder brother, and it was specifically his favorite brand, Wahaha.
Exiting the shop, she wasn't in a hurry. She opened the pack of cigarettes, took out a slender one, and took a gentle puff.
Everyone needs a way to relieve emotions.
Compared to her siblings, smoking was already a very healthy hobby.
With plenty of time, Wei Li languidly finished her cigarette, responsibly flicking the butt into a trash can, and then headed back to the car with the water.
She happened upon a wave of people leaving the station.
Wei Li didn't mind since Big Sister Wei Hong's train was due in over ten minutes.
But.
As her gaze casually swept across the crowd, she unexpectedly spotted a familiar face.
Even with sunglasses, she could distinguish her clearly. After all, they were sisters, and Big Sister Wei Hong hadn't left home that long, her appearance couldn't have drastically changed.
Moreover.
She was wearing Big Sister's favorite red top.
Low-key indeed.
But not entirely low-key.
Also.
If she was able to return, there wouldn't be any danger.
Wei Li was confident she hadn't made a mistake, but—
Didn't Brother say the train arrived at 2:40?
Wei Li couldn't help but raise her wrist again.
Her judgment was correct; it wasn't even 2:30 yet, and the train needed time to arrive and disembark the passengers.
What was going on?
But in just that moment of looking down, when Wei Li looked up again, the scene in her view changed.
A few men surrounded Big Sister Wei Hong, blocking her from all directions.
Such scenes were familiar to Wei Li, making her more sensitive than ordinary people; others didn't notice anything amiss.
"Don't make a sound, or I'll kill you."
Along with the cold, hard tones, a hard object quietly pressed against her back.
Wei Li was indeed not mistaken.
The one emerging from the crowd was indeed the returning Wei Hong, but the people meeting her were unexpected.
Wei Hong immediately stopped, making no further noise.
She was an expert at this kind of thing; it was once her specialty, so she knew very well the consequences of blind resistance.
"Move."
The unknown captor was decisive, without any delay, encircling the target from all sides and withdrawing southeastward from the crowd.
Coincidentally, it was opposite to where Wei Li stood.
When Wei Hong was forced to turn, a flash from the sunglasses showed Wei Li's face outside the crowd.
She paused, surely seeing Wei Li, as Wei Li must have also seen her.
But at the brink of crisis, she couldn't shout, being pushed in the opposite direction.
She was restrained, but Wei Li wasn't; realizing she hadn't mistaken her sister, Wei Li quickened her pace, but for some reason, she inexplicably stopped again.
Was she blocked by the crowd?
Maybe that was why.
But she could still call for help.
No one gagged her mouth.
Yet inexplicably, she stood there, watching as Big Sister Wei Hong vanished from sight with the unknown men, without uttering a word.
The sisters briefly reunited, only to part again.
Could it be considered a reunion?
After all, their gazes had crossed paths.
The entrance to the train station was harmonious, with the crowd thinning.
Wei Li, unfazed, holding the water, turned, walked to the parked car, and got back inside.
"Here."
Wei Zu accepted the water, "Dad's told you many times, why don't you quit?"
"It's just cigarettes, not drugs. Everyone needs a hobby, right?"
Wei Zu unscrewed the bottle, taking a sip, "Smoking is not a hobby; there are so many other things you could do."
"Brother, you're such a nag."
Wei Li grew impatient, not wanting to hear more nagging, she changed the subject, "When is Big Sister supposed to arrive?"
"2:40, haven't you asked already? What time is it now?"
"It's not even time yet."
Wei Li reclined lazily in her seat, gazing out the windshield, "Brother, are you sure you didn't get the time wrong?"
Trains can indeed arrive early.
But only by a few minutes, they couldn't have arrived this much earlier.
Perhaps sensing the oddity, Wei Zu turned his head, holding the water bottle.
"What's wrong?"
His tone was calm.
Wei Li was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "It's just... I'm getting a little impatient to see Big Sister now."
