Chapter 161
Xiao Chen was worthy of being the main character. In just a few minutes, he had already sorted out his grief. He knew that Zhong Xincheng was already dead, so there was no point in being sad.
He stood up and looked at the incomparably powerful middle-aged man. “Uncle, I still don’t know your name.”
The middle-aged man chuckled. “I’m just a teacher at Donghai University. I’ve been entrusted with this task, so you don’t need to know my name.”
When Xiao Chen was on the mountain, he heard Wang Yannian say that there were many hidden experts in the world. Perhaps this person in front of him was one of them.
“You don’t need to care about who I am. Instead, you need to pay attention to this Mr. Zhong. He’s already dead, and he only has one granddaughter. His granddaughter is a second-year student at my university. I don’t think I need to say anything else. You know what to do, right?”
Xiao Chen nodded. Zhong Xincheng died to protect him, so no matter what, he had to take care of his granddaughter.
…
The car stopped in front of Quan Le Guo. Su Lin didn’t rush to get out of the car. Instead, he looked at Li Ziyu and said, “There should be a big show waiting for you tonight. Do you need me to help you?”
Su Lin was a Martial Grandmaster. Although he was only at the early stage, other Martial Grandmasters couldn’t last more than a few moves in front of him.
So saying that he would help Li Ziyu was not empty words. He only needed to release his aura and sit there, and no one would dare to do anything to Li Ziyu.
Li Ziyu shook her head. “No matter what, it’s still a family matter. It would be inconvenient to trouble you. Besides, you’ve already helped me enough. Today, you even saved my life. I don’t know how to repay you.”
Su Lin laughed. “Saving you was just a matter of convenience. I have a tender heart for the fairer sex. I can’t bear to see such a beautiful girl like you die like this.”
“Is that so?” Li Ziyu glanced at Su Lin.
She was willing to bet that tonight, Su Lin definitely wanted to give up on her and kill Xiao Chen. Although she didn’t know what kind of grudge they had, Su Lin’s desire to kill Xiao Chen was not fake at all.
As for why he didn’t chase after Xiao Chen, Li Ziyu felt that it was because of other reasons.
“Of course, you’ve investigated me quite well. I’m sure you have some understanding of my character.”
Li Ziyu looked at Su Lin. “So you want me and your other girlfriends to stay by your side without any status?”
“Cough cough cough … If it’s possible, of course I wouldn’t mind having a peerless beauty by my side.”
“You really don’t care about what other people think of you. Are you thick-skinned or fearless? But I think it’s the latter. You have the confidence to ignore the rules. Su Lin, if only I were as strong as you.”
Su Lin laughed. “One day, you’ll be as strong as I am.”
“But that day is too long…”
“Alright, since you don’t need my help, I’ll go to sleep first. If there’s a chance, we’ll meet again.” Su Lin waved his hand.
Li Ziyu nodded. “Let’s meet again if we have the chance.”
When Li Ziyu returned home, he saw an angry Li Weifeng in the courtyard. When he saw Li Ziyu, Li Ziyu was also looking at him.
He never would have thought that Li Ziyu would go behind his back to kill her fiance, even though Xiao Chen had killed Li Ziyan.
In his eyes, Li Ziyan was just a useless person who thought he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. Little did he know that his thoughts were seen through by everyone in the family.
What really made Li Weifeng furious was that Li Ziyu could actually call out six Martial arts Masters. Li Ziyu was only the eldest daughter of the family. These six people were silently called out by her. It must be known that the importance of masters to the family was self-evident.
They were called out by Li Ziyu with just one sentence and no one came to tell him. It could be seen that his control over the family was greatly weakened.
Li Ziyu had already seen Li Weifeng’s anger. At the same time, her heart was very calm because she no longer had any expectations for Li Weifeng. Without expectations, there was no anger.
“You still know to come back!!” Li Weifeng angrily shouted.
Li Ziyu’s expression was indifferent as she gently said: “Grandpa, it’s already so late. Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“Hmph, you took all the family’s masters out. How can I sleep?” Li Weifeng angrily said.
“Brother is dead. Grandpa doesn’t know?”
“You’re talking about that trash? If he’s dead, then he’s dead.”
“Grandpa, when I die one day, will you also be like this?” Li Ziyu looked at Li Weifeng and asked.
“Bastard, is this the tone you use to talk to me?” Li Weifeng angrily said.
“It seems that after being the general manager for a few years, your wings have hardened. You dare to question your grandpa?” Li Weifeng’s gaze was fixed on Li Ziyu.
If it wasn’t for the engagement between Li Ziyu and Xiao Chen, he would have already sent Li Ziyu away.
Thinking of this, Li Weifeng felt some regret. If he had known that Li Ziyu would be so difficult to deal with, then no matter what, he wouldn’t have let Li Ziyu and Xiao Chen get engaged. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given her so much power these past few years and allowed her to develop.
Li Weifeng’s heart was already on high alert. He didn’t know how many people around him had been taken down by Li Ziyu. At this time, he had fallen into an endless state of passivity.
Li Weifeng didn’t know that it was because of his strong personality that completely aroused Li Ziyu’s rebellious heart.
“Grandpa, what are you talking about? I just don’t understand. Ziyan is my brother, and that Xiao Chen is my only fiancé by name. What right does he have to be able to kill our Li family’s people so unscrupulously?”
“To put it bluntly, if I marry Xiao Chen in the future, and he doesn’t like grandpa, then can he also kill grandpa? Then nothing will happen, and we would still have to treat him like a son-in-law.”
Li Ziyu’s words could be said to be murderous. At this time, although there wasn’t anyone in the hall, she knew that there were definitely people in the dark watching them.
“You impudent … Is this how you talk to your grandpa? Our Li family’s upbringing and rules have all been thrown to the back of your mind?”
Facing Li Weifeng’s questioning, Li Ziyu said neither salty nor indifferently, “Grandpa, I’m just stating a possibility. I’m not contradicting you.”
Li Weifeng was so angry that he pointed at Li Ziyu and he couldn’t say anything. He didn’t think that the usually obedient Li Ziyu’s would be so sharp.
“Don’t use your pompous words to block me. You think I don’t know that this matter was planned by you and that Su Lin? You’ve been going to the him more than you’ve been home.”
“How did your brother die? Was it Su Lin who framed Xiao Chen?”
Li Ziyu didn’t think that Li Weifeng would think this way. She was completely stunned. She had to admit that Li Weifeng’s brain really turned very quickly.
Seeing that Li Ziyu didn’t explain, he said, “Nothing to say? If you’re dissatisfied with the marriage I arranged, you can tell the family. But you actually colluded with outsiders to kill your own brother, and then make a move on your fiancé. Ziyu, I didn’t think that your thoughts were so deep.”
Li Ziyu laughed at herself and said, “Grandpa, I also didn’t think that my thoughts were so deep.”
“Humph, from today onwards, you don’t have to worry about the company anymore. The position of general manager will be handed over to your second brother.”
“You give up your position. Tomorrow when Xiao Chen comes to the family, you have to properly apologize to him. Do you understand?” Li Weifeng said with a face full of anger.
Li Ziyu’s expression was indescribable. Although she was only the general manager of the company, she was the only one who really took care of the company. People like Li Wenfeng were only the chairman in name.
Li Ziyu looked at Li Wenfeng with a gentle smile on her face. Letting her second brother take over the company, she believed that a lot of interesting things would happen in the Li Group.
Li Ziyu’s second brother, Li Ziqi, was a typical person who had high standards but low ability. He liked to pretend to be someone who had nothing. He didn’t have any other skills, but he was good at bragging and flattering.
Before, every time Li Ziyu started a big project, Li Ziqi would always start bragging about what would happen if he was the one who did it.
Li Ziyu was very clear about this person’s ability. He was a typical person who couldn’t be helped. If such a person became the general manager of the company, then it would be a nightmare for the Li Group.
No wonder Li Weifeng always thought about marriage to consolidate the Li family’s position. In Li Ziyu’s view, status was only real if you earned it yourself. What was given by others would never be yours.
“What, you can’t accept it?”
Li Ziyu shook her head: “If you want me to hand over my power, I can give it to anyone. But an apology, impossible. Grandpa, if you really want me to apologize, then maybe I will do something irreparable to Xiao Chen. After all, Ziyan is my brother!!!”
“You…”
Li Ziyu’s eyes were filled with tears. She stubbornly looked at Li Weifeng. She could hand over her power, but an apology was absolutely out of the question.
This was her bottom line.
“Humph… then you can shut yourself at home and reflect on your mistakes. When you think it through, then you can come out.”
Li Ziyu faintly smiled, then got up and left.
Seeing Li Ziyu directly leave like this, Li Weifeng was furious.
He didn’t expect that Li Ziyu would dare to talk to him like this. Unfortunately, she was still engaged. He couldn’t casually deal with her because Xiao Chen was coming to the Li family tomorrow. This made Li Weifeng feel very sullen.
Li Ziyu returned to her room and took out her phone to arrange the company’s matters. She made more than ten phone calls in a row before stopping: “Handing over power is fine. Li Ziqi, let’s see if you have the ability to take over such a big company.”
She knew that in the end, Li Weifeng would definitely come to her and ask her to be the general manager again. At that time, it wouldn’t be so easy for him to hand over power.
This move of retreating in order to advance, Li Ziyu was already very familiar with it. Li Weifeng didn’t realize that Li Ziyu had already unknowingly dug a very big hole for him.
