Transmigrated as My Best Friend's Ex

155. Keqi Has Come Back

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

“I don’t know why he’s not in the warehouse, but I can find him,” said Spy.

“Oh?” Nancheng Lie narrowed his eyes. He was very unhappy with Li Qinghao’s trust in Spy.

“He told me his secret and asked me to protect him.” Spy was still shocked by the secret Li Qinghao had told him. If it were not for his trust in Li Qinghao, he wouldn’t believe that a person’s body could become smaller. “He said if his secret were revealed, the current world order would collapse like a house of cards. Although he doesn’t care if the world will be in chaos, he prefers to live in peace for the rest of his life. So, he asked Boss Mu and Boss Mu’s spouse to implant a GDP chip inside him so that we can find him at any time. Boss Mu has adapted the chip so no instrument can detect it.”

Nancheng Lie listened quietly to Spy. It seemed that Xu had many secrets.

But unexpectedly, he was not angry; instead, his heart palpitated.

‘We grew up together, and I thought that I knew Xu pretty well. But now I realize I was wrong. Xu keeps a lot of things from me, but that’s all right. I’m interested in probing into his secrets. Humph, Xu, you’d better do something to please me when you get back,’ Nancheng Lie thought.

It was dark… The endless darkness disorientated him.

Li Qinghao felt like falling into an endless abyss. He struggled, but couldn’t get out. Suddenly, a stream of golden light poured in and turned to a pair of arms. They were wrapped around his waist, giving him a feeling of warmth and familiarity… All of a sudden Li Qinghao opened his eyes.

“You are awake?” An ebullient, familiar voice came from his right side. He looked to the side to see Han Ping. How could Han Ping end up here?

He remembered that Qiao had kidnapped him, and in the abandoned warehouse he had been knocked unconscious again. When he regained consciousness, he saw Han Ping.

“Shh, don’t glare at me like that.” Han Ping came up to the bedside and looked at Li Qinghao with a shadow of a smile. “Are you really Nancheng Lie’s cousin? Uh-huh… I think your real name is Li Qinghao, right?”

Li Qinghao narrowed his eyes. ‘This guy is really a dangerous man. What shall I do? Deny what he said? No, no, no, he is smart enough to distinguish truth from falsehood,’ Li Qinghao thought to himself,

“Who the hell are you?” Was this guy really his junior high school classmate Han Ping? To be honest, Li Qinghao had no memory of Han Ping. That day Nancheng Lie mentioned Han Ping to him, so he asked someone to inquire about Han Ping. Unfortunately, the other old classmates had only a hazy memory of Han Ping. The only thing they could remember was that Han Ping had been a fat boy.

“I’m Han Ping. I emigrated to Germany after graduation from junior high school.”

“Germany? Germany?!” Li Qinghao opened his eye wide, getting a brainwave. “Do you know Dom?” He couldn’t help but suspect that Han Ping had something to do with Dom, because Dom came from Germany. What was more, after learning from Nancheng Lie what had happened to the Dom family, Li Qinghao had Mr. Li refuse to co-operate with Dom. Although he had only met Dom a few times, he believed that Dom was not a stingy man. But for some unknown reason he felt that Han Ping must have a close relationship with Dom.

“You are smart indeed.” Han Pin sat down on the edge of the bed and continued, “Dom and I are friends. When Dom learned that Nancheng Lie is my old classmate, he asked me to try to get close to Nancheng Lie. But I didn’t expect you to be so sensitive. Dom once showed me your pictures. I became suspicious when I first saw you at Nancheng Lie’s apartment. So I managed to get a picture of Li Qinghao as a child. As expected, you look exactly like Li Qinghao. As far as I know, Mr. Li has only one son. So I’d guess that you are Li Qinghao. I’m curious as to how your body got smaller.”

“Why should I answer your question?” Li Qinghao raised his eyebrows. Now that Han Ping knew his secret, it seemed that he was unable to escape. He leaned against the headboard and looked up leisurely at Han Ping. “You already know my secret. Have you told Dom?”

“Why should I answer your question?” Han Ping answered back.

Li Qinghao shrugged indifferently. “I was always wondering why Nancheng Lie got so nervous when he knew the true identity of Wilbert Dom. I thought it was because he was worried about me. But you just said Dom asked you to try to get close to Nancheng Lie. I finally comprehend that it was because of animosity between the Dom family and the Nancheng family. And unfortunately, I was caught up in it. Am I right?”

Han Ping crossed his arms over his chest and squinted at Li Qinghao. “I’ve inquired closely about Li Qinghao. He never used to be so clever.”

Li Qinghao looked Han Ping full in the eye. He had no reason to be afraid, because there was no evidence to prove that he was not Li Qinghao.

“Alright.” Han Ping nodded and continued, “I understand why Nancheng Lie gave up Han Mingxu and chose to be with you.”

“Oh?” Li Qinghao frowned. What Han Ping said afforded much food for thought. “Did you go to Leiluo Kingdom to see Han Mingxu?” he asked tentatively.

“He’s changed a lot, too. Han Mingxu used to be very cute when he pursed his lips, although he was usually very quiet. But now he is fucking alluring. He’s just like you. You used to be a stupid guy, but now you are clever.” When Dom proposed that Han Ping approach Nancheng Lie, Han Ping told Dom that Han Mingxu was the apple of Nancheng Lie’s eye. So he went to Leiluo Kingdom for Han Mingxu, but he didn’t expect to be given the cold shoulder.

Han Ping was not a quitter. He pestered Han Mingxu brazenly, and finally he concluded that relations between Han Mingxu and Nancheng Lie had become difficult because of Li Qinghao. How did he come to this conclusion? On one occasion, he saw a picture of Li Qinghao on Han Mingxu’s cellphone.

At that time, he suddenly remembered that Dom had told him that Nancheng Lie and Li Qinghao were having an affair.

Han Ping became curious about Li Qinghao, so he decided to return to China to see Li Qinghao. Then he was greeted with a piece of stunning news.

An adult with a height of more than 180 cm was turned into a boy who was about 160 cm tall. It was incredible!

Li Qinghao realized that Han Ping mistook Keqi for Han Mingxu.

Qinghao recollected Nancheng Lie saying that Han Ping had confessed his love to him at junior high school. So when he saw Keqi in Leiluo Kingdom… Li Qinghao got a dirty idea. “Were you excited when you saw you first love again?

Han Ping didn’t expect Li Qinghao to ask such a question. He was dazed for a second. Li Qinghao knew something from his hesitation.

“I underestimated you.” Han Ping stood up and looked at Li Qinghao with mixed emotions.

The cold look in his eyes made Li Qinghao’s heart skip a beat. Li Qinghao’s face became serious. “We are going to leave for Germany soon. I hope you enjoy this trip,” said Han Ping.

LD organization had a world-class intelligence agency.

The intelligence service members had long since found out the relationship between Han Ping and Dom and reported it to Nancheng Lie. So, Nancheng Lie was not surprised to that Li Qinghao was kidnapped.  When he knew that Han Ping had something to do with Dom, he immediately had his men stalk Han Ping. When he received the news of Li Qinghao being kidnapped, his nervousness was half-genuine and half-sham.

But he never expected that the man whom he hated most would appear in front of him.

On the way to Han Ping’s house, Nancheng Lie’s car met another car on a narrow bend. Neither side wanted to make way. Without any other choice, they had to get out of their respective cars.

Then he saw his most hated man Keqi.

“Why are you here?” asked Nancheng Lie. Why didn’t this damned guy stay in Leiluo Kingdom? What was he doing here? Wasn’t he afraid that Frise would seize the opportunity to rob him of the throne?

Keqi glanced up lazily at Nancheng Lie.

Nancheng Lie frowned. ‘His cover has been blown. Why is he still mimicking Xu?’ he thought.

Keqi answered, “I’m here to see my dear brother, not you.”

‘Now that Nancheng Lie already knows I’m not Han Mingxu, there’s no need to be polite. He and I are rivals in love. Although it’s impossible for me to win Qinghao’s heart, I can’t stand Nancheng Lie’s triumphant smile. If he hadn’t occupied all of Xu’s time since childhood, Xu wouldn’t have become homosexual,’ Keqi thought to himself.

Keqi was sometimes unreasonable, just like the dead old king.

Keqi was lying. In fact, he came here for Han Ping. The other day that guy suddenly appeared in front of him and called him Mingxu. He felt that Han Ping was a dangerous man. Later Han Ping left without saying goodbye, which made Keqi uneasier.

‘I’m afraid that Han Ping left for China to find Han Mingxu because he found I’m not the real one. I dread to think what would happen if Han Ping noticed that Li Qinghao has something to do with me and Nancheng Lie. Han Mingxu is the last person I want to hurt,’ Keqi thought to himself.
