His implication was that mounting such a large operation for a woman was a bit too much, yet he didnât dare to say it outright.
âDid I do it wrong?â The manâs voice was colder than moonlight seeping through.
Chilled to the bone, the Gao family members could hardly muster a smile as they nodded and bent over backwards apologizing, âItâs our son who was in the wrong.â
Li Shengxiaoâs thin lips brushed together, âThen letâs just cripple that wrong-doing leg of his.â
Then letâs just cripple that wrong-doing leg of his!
The entire place fell as silent as death.
Madame Gao only saw two men in black approach emotionlessly, then they dragged out Gao Kai, who had been hiding behind her, like hauling a pig.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMom, mom, save me! Mom!â
He reached out his hands to grab Madame Gao, but it was too late. The men moved with swift brutality, one pressing him to the ground like a dead dog, while the other picked up the large marble ashtray from the coffee table, raising it above his head, and smashed it harshly onto his kneecap.
âAgh!â
Screams like that of a slaughtered pig echoed through the villa.
Scared nearly to the point of fainting, Madame Gaoâs maternal instincts drove her to throw herself onto the person screaming on the ground, wailing with tears streaming down her face, âNo! Please, donât hit him.â
âHusband, husband, say something, will you!â
Director Gao had already turned ashen, his face cycling through shades of green, white, and purple. No matter how much he dreaded the man before him, he couldnât stand the wailing of his wife and son. With a livid face and through gritted teeth, he said, âMr. Li, youâre taking it too far. Itâs just a woman after all! Is it necessary?â
Li Shengxiaoâs eyes reflected the image of the girl in his embrace, covered in blood yet silent, then looking back at him, his eyes narrowed with a sharp and deadly aura, âThe woman youâre referring to is mine, Li Shengxiaoâs woman! The only one!â
âThe woman youâre referring to is mine, Li Shengxiaoâs woman, the only one!
Director Gao suddenly went stiff.
Before he could fully digest the meaning of these words, people from the prosecutorâs office approached him with a notebook, going strictly by the book, âGao Jianguo, right? We have found evidence of your involvement in bribery, please come with us to the prosecutorâs office for an inquiry.â
The prosecutorâs officeâ¦
âI donât know what youâre talking about, Iâ¦â Director Gaoâs legs went weak as he was forcibly handcuffed.
Madame Gao hadnât anticipated her home turning into this state in the blink of an eye. While sobbing bitterly and flustered about how to protect her own man, she didnât dare to move away, fearful of her son being hit again. Just when she was most bewildered and helpless, her cellphone suddenly rang.
She took out the phone while crying, and upon seeing the caller ID, her eyes suddenly brightened as she hurriedly answered, âHello, dad.â Indeed, she could still ask for help from her parentsâ family.
âDad, something happened at homeâ¦â
Before she could finish, roaring curses came from the other end of the phone, âYou screw-up, what has Gao Kai done! Do you know what happened to the company? The Li Group suddenly acquired our company; weâre bankrupt! Whereâs Jianguo? Get him on the phone now. Iâve been trying to contact Mr. Li from the Li Group but to no avail. Ask him if he has any way.â
Madame Gao felt her plea for help getting stuck in her throat, almost passing out as her vision darkened, âIâ¦
She didnât know how to explain to her family.
The person on the other end was urging her, âHurry up and pass the phone to
Jianguo. Is Jianguo not at home?â
Madame Gao lifted her eyes to behold the mess at home, her mouth filled with bitterness and unable to share the situation to the person on the other end. She hastily hung up the phone.
Li Shengxiao was too cruel!
This man was too cruel!
What exactly was Rong Yanâs situation? Just a kept mistress, how could Li Shengxiao go to such lengths for her?
