Chapter 617 Mess
Chapter 617 Mess
As soon as Li Shiwen finished speaking, Li Hongxing looked at Li Yan and Li Xuanbao who were kneeling on the ground with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Things have developed to this point. Do you still naively think that you can hide the truth from the world? You were all carefully brought up at home, but where is your sense of crisis now?"
His tone became increasingly severe, and every word was like a hammer: "Do you know how many eyes in the business and political circles are staring at our Li family? How many people want to find something wrong with our Li family and bring us down?
You guys are totally unaware of this? Over the years, your father, your uncle Liang, and I have been very careful and cautious, not daring to make the slightest mistake. On the other hand, you guys actually used inferior building materials and evaded taxes. Is there anything else you dare not cross?"
Then, Li Hongxing turned his gaze to Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu, and said in a resolute and cold tone: "No one should dare to protect us in this matter. Everything will be decided by the law. We will follow the rules to determine the extent of the investigation and the punishment. We will not tolerate any leniency."
Jing Qiu looked at Li Yan and Li Xuanbao kneeling on the ground, his lips trembling slightly. Just as he was about to say something, Li Ronghua grabbed his wrist.
Li Ronghua met Li Hongxing's gaze and said in a deep voice, "Brother, everything will be done according to your wishes."
Seeing this, Li Hongxing sighed heavily and looked at Li Ronghua: "Please suspend all the work that Li Yan is doing. Don't let him touch any of Li's affairs during this period of time."
After saying this, he turned his gaze to Liang Yusen again, his expression solemn: "Yusen, if the situation develops to the worst, can you take over Xuanbao's project in Qionglin District? You must ensure that those owners who have already bought houses do not suffer losses."
Liang Yusen sat up straight and said, "Brother, don't worry! I won't let this project fail, and I won't let anyone point at the Li family's spine and scold them!"
Li Hongxing's eyes stayed on Liang Yusen for a moment, and his serious expression finally eased a little: "With your words, I can put my heart at ease."
Then, he turned his gaze to Li Yan and Li Xuanbao who were kneeling on the ground, and said in a tone as cold as ice: "You two, cooperate with the public security and taxation departments honestly, explain your problems clearly, and don't have any fluke mentality. Otherwise, no one can save you!"
After saying this, Li Hongxing waved his hand tiredly, with fatigue that could not be concealed in his voice: "Let's stop here today and do our own things."
Li Xuanbao slowly stood up on her knees, her nails digging deeply into her palms.
She staggered across the hall without looking at anyone, the sound of her high heels hitting the ground was particularly harsh in the empty corridor. Jing Qiu subconsciously stood up and took a step forward, but was grabbed by Li Ronghua.
"Don't go." Li Ronghua lowered his voice, his eyes following Li Xuanbao's stubborn back, "Brother has already pointed out the way, it's too late to say anything now."
Jing Qiu looked at the figure disappearing around the corner. His throat felt like it was blocked by cotton. He was unwilling but couldn't make any sound.
Jing Qiu looked back and forth between her husband and Li Hongxing, who was resting with her eyes closed. Her lips moved several times, but in the end, she seemed to be entangled by an invisible thread and swallowed the words back into her throat.
She knew very well that once the core interests of the Li family were touched, Li Hongxing would never hesitate at all. Even her husband, who had always been obedient to her, would only stand on the family's side at this moment.
She turned around abruptly and looked at Li Yan who was still kneeling on the cold floor. Her voice suddenly rose, with a sharp voice breaking: "Li Yan! Why are you still kneeling? You have to clean up the mess. Do you want to wait for someone to save you? Don't dream!
No one will care about your life or death now. Family affection is all fake when the time comes!"
Li Yan looked up at his mother in astonishment. He didn't expect that his mother, who was always dignified and serious, would be so out of control in front of his uncle.
The shrill voice and out-of-control expression were completely different from his usual self, making it difficult for him to recover for a moment.
However, he knew that his mother did this only because she felt sorry for him, so he sighed heavily, supported himself with his hands and struggled to get up. His legs felt numb from kneeling for too long, and he almost fell.
After stabilizing himself, he took a deep breath, looked at his expressionless uncle Li Hongxing, and said respectfully: "Uncle, I will go back to the company to sort out the materials so that the tax authorities and the police can retrieve them at any time."
Li Hongxing slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Yan: "Go ahead."
After Li Yan's figure disappeared outside the door, Li Hongxing's sight fell on Jing Qiu, who looked unhappy, and Li Ronghua, who looked gloomy.
He rubbed his brows, his tone full of fatigue: "Let's all go, and deal with the things that need to be dealt with quickly. If there is nothing important these two days, don't come to Li Garden."
Li Hongxing now lives in Li Garden, where the security level is naturally higher. In addition, this is not Beijing, so he really doesn't want to increase the workload of the security personnel.
Moreover, in view of the incident between Li Xuanbao and Li Yan, according to relevant work regulations, he must take the initiative to avoid it so as not to cause unnecessary controversy.
Liang Yusen stood up neatly, put on his coat, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I'll go first." After that, he walked straight past Li Ronghua and Jing Qiu, who had complicated expressions, and walked towards the garage. His figure soon disappeared at the end of the corridor.
When Jing Qiu saw Liang Yusen leaving without looking back, she felt even more annoyed. She shook off Li Ronghua's hand and walked out the door with her high heels clicking and an angry face.
Li Ronghua looked at Jing Qiu's back as she left angrily, then turned to look at Li Hongxing who was sitting on the armchair, his face full of guilt: "Brother, don't argue with Jing Qiu. She was so anxious that she lost her mind and was worried about the two children, so she spoke a little harshly. She didn't mean to target you..."
Li Hongxing narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at his younger brother in front of him.
I don’t know if the years have worn away his former edge, or if he is really held back by family ties, but now Li Ronghua is becoming more slow and hesitant and has no opinions of his own.
But now he really didn't have the energy to criticize him, so he just sighed heavily: "The burden of the Li family will fall on your shoulders during this period. Be careful and don't make any more trouble."
Li Ronghua responded quickly, but did not dare to stay any longer. He hurriedly said, "Brother, I'll leave first. You have a good rest." Then he turned around and trotted after his wife Jing Qiu.
In the empty hall, only Li Hongxing and Li Shiwen were left. Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, the wrinkles between Li Hongxing's brows deepened a little.
Under the cold white light of the garage, Jing Qiu chased after him in high heels and grabbed Liang Yusen who was about to open the car door: "Yusen, wait a minute, I have something to ask you!"
