CHAPTER 1788: CHAPTER 1849: COLD-BLOODED REMARKS

When Li Yifei left the hospital, it was already an hour later. He had said quite a bit, but he didn’t know how effective it would be. All he could do was his best. No one wanted this kind of thing to happen, and there was no way to change it. Li Yifei came with a bouquet of flowers and left only a bouquet of flowers behind. There would naturally be people to handle the compensation and such. As for the media, Li Yifei had no intention of stopping them from reporting it. He believed they would report it after assessing the situation.

But ultimately, good news doesn’t go beyond the door, while bad news travels a thousand miles. News of a manager under the Li Group assaulting an employee had nonetheless leaked. Of course, this was after the fact. Li Yifei had no intention of hiding it.

He asked the security guards to drive back first and walked along the streets of Mile City himself. The weather was pleasant today, with the clear, crisp air of autumn. There were clouds, but only sprinkles, and the sunlight was not hot, yet it made it hard to keep his eyes open. Li Yifei stopped and looked up at the sky.

This incident wasn’t particularly serious for him, but for Sunx Qian, the best scenario would be to act as if nothing had happened, while the worst... Li Yifei still wished that she would get better and not let this incident affect her entire life.

In fact, as soon as he left the hospital, a quarrel broke out in the ward. It was Sunx Qian’s boyfriend yelling at her, and she finally couldn’t hold back her emotions and burst into tears. She had been holding back her feelings since yesterday, even in the hospital, trying her best to endure, after all, she was the victim, not her boyfriend. But instead of comforting her, he blamed her. What was this?

Sunx Qian’s parents hadn’t arrived yet. They were on their way, and Sunx Qian didn’t know if she should let them know about this. However, her boyfriend had already called Sunx Qia’s parents early on. The two elderly parents rushed over, not knowing how wrecked they felt along the way.

Meanwhile, after being kicked a few times by Li Yifei, Liuu Ming was also in great pain. Although he wasn’t left disabled, his skin hurt terribly. What pained him the most wasn’t the physical injuries but Li Yifei’s attitude. He really wasn’t planning to protect him anymore.

Everything Liuu Ming had now was built on the foundation of the Li family. Without the Li family, what was he? Even with the embezzled money in his pocket, he was nothing. Besides, he couldn’t even keep that money.

Li Yifei was really going after him now, and he was genuinely angry. So, Liuu Ming, who was arrested, was desperately trying to think of a way out. He managed to borrow a phone and wanted to call his cousin, but as soon as the call connected and she heard his voice, she coldly said, "It’s your own doing. Don’t call me again," before hanging up.

Liuu Ming immediately understood Song Lianyao’s attitude, but he was unwilling to give up and dialed his home number. His parents happened to be home, and upon answering, they nervously asked, "Son, did something happen? Your sister asked us all to come over, saying there’s something important. She seemed to think it was something big."

Liuu Ming’s mother, standing beside the phone, asked anxiously, "Son, are you okay? What’s going on? You’re doing well now. Give your parents some insight so we don’t say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing. Now, our family relies on your sister a lot, so don’t mess around. Develop well, and once you do, we can stand tall."

Before Liuu Ming could speak, his parents had already said a lot, making him feel even more uncomfortable. His heart raced as he wondered what his high-profile cousin was gathering the family for.

"Son... speak up, why aren’t you saying anything? Is my phone broken?" Liuu Ming’s father waited for a while, puzzled by the lack of response from his son.

"How could the phone be broken? Give it to me; I’ll speak to our son. Maybe there’s no signal!" Liuu Ming’s mother said, grabbing the phone and saying, "Hello, hello? Son, can you hear me?"

Liuu Ming’s heart was full of conflicting emotions, and he suddenly burst into tears. "Mom, save me!"

His cry left Liuu Ming’s mother stunned. She quickly asked, "Son, what’s wrong? What happened? Tell Mom."

Hearing this, Liuu Ming’s father panicked, snatching the phone to ask loudly, "What happened?"

Amidst tears, Liuu Ming said, "Mom and Dad, quickly go beg my cousin to save me. I’ve been arrested by the police. It’s my brother-in-law who got me caught."

Until this moment, he still didn’t explain everything thoroughly, still hoping to use familial ties to manipulate Song Lianyao for his own escape.

Even the police officer beside him listening in pursed his lips, grabbed the phone, and hung up before Liuu Ming finished speaking, not giving him another chance to deceive anyone. He looked at Liuu Ming with a contemptuous gaze.

Liuu Ming didn’t dare to act rashly with the police, and with the phone snatched away, he had no chance to say anything more.

His parents made several return calls, and the officer who lent the phone answered once, coldly saying, "This is my phone. Your son is charged with assault," before hanging up.

This made Liuu Ming’s parents panic. They were unaware of the situation, unable to contact their son, and hurriedly made their way to Song Lianyao’s home.

Song Lianyao informed Liuu Ming’s parents about the situation, and they finally understood the reason. But their reaction was peculiar, especially Liuu Ming’s mother, who surprisingly ran over, knelt in front of Song Lianyao, and pleaded, "Lianyao, I beg you, save your brother. He’s still young, and this was unintentional. He didn’t do it on purpose. Give him a chance. If he spends years in prison, it’ll be too late when he gets out!"

Members of the Song family arrived one after another. Seeing Liuu Ming’s mother like this, some were moved and joined in persuading, "Yes, Lianyao, you’re doing well now. Help if you can. After all, he’s your brother. If he goes in, these two elderly parents are done for. He’s their only child, and they still hope to see him marry and have children."

"Exactly, the Li family is very powerful now. Helping someone should be easy. At worst, pay more compensation. It’s not a big deal!"

"That woman must be indecent. Our Liuu Ming is a dignified vice-president. Why would he assault someone? The other side must have seduced him, trying to extort money. Let me tell you, people are bad these days. All sorts!" Upon hearing these words, Song Lianyao felt a chilling fear. She widened her eyes and looked at the relatives who spoke up, suddenly feeling very frightened. Indeed, she had nothing to worry about for the rest of her life. She was with the person she loved, with children and more to come, but that was her own matter.
