Chapter 1493 - 1492
As Li Jianshui lost his reason and drew out a dagger, threatening Li Zixia with death, the men around them broke into a cold sweat.
"President Li, put down the knife!"
"President Li, don’t be impulsive!"
"Let’s talk this over!"
The men spoke one after another, wiping their sweat. This President Li actually intends to kill Li Zixia; isn’t he getting them into trouble?
They were the ones who kidnapped Li Zixia. If she were harmed by Li Jianshui, they would be out of luck and face additional charges.
Li Jianshui, having lost all reason, wouldn’t listen to the lackeys, and said to Li Zixia, "I’m counting to three. Sign this agreement, unconditionally transfer all your assets to me, and then leave Huaxia!"
Li Zixia said, "You don’t need to count. Even if you count to a hundred, I won’t sign."
Li Jianshui, holding the knife, stepped closer to Li Zixia and angrily said, "Will you sign or not? 1!"
"President Li, calm down!" Blonde Hair advised, stepping forward to try and stop Li Jianshui.
"Don’t come closer!" Li Jianshui shouted, brandishing the dagger, almost cutting Blonde Hair, who quickly stepped aside, pale with fright.
"2!"
Li Jianshui continued advancing toward Li Zixia.
Li Zixia involuntarily retreated, saying, "Uncle, I advise you to pull back from the brink, realize your mistakes, and don’t go down this wrong path!"
Li Jianshui said, "3!"
Three seconds passed, and Li Zixia had no intention of signing. Li Jianshui was furious and shouted, swinging his knife at Li Zixia. He truly intended to kill her.
However, his strike missed.
In fact, no matter how many times he tried, he would fail, because at this moment, Li Zixia was protected by Lin Fan’s top-tier Koi Carp Luck. Even standing still, Li Jianshui couldn’t hit her.
Finally, Li Jianshui’s knife struck a stone pillar of the gazebo, the dagger falling to the ground, and Blonde Hair and the others immediately pounced, capturing Li Jianshui.
"Let go of me! I want to kill this little bitch! What are you doing? You’re my people, let go of me! I order you to catch that little bitch!" Li Jianshui shouted excitedly.
"Truly exciting, President Li!"
A voice spoke up at this moment.
Li Jianshui looked up to see a young man holding a phone horizontally as he approached.
The young man put down the phone, revealing a handsome face.
Li Jianshui was stunned, sure that he didn’t know this young man, but felt like he had seen him somewhere before. Who was he?
"Hello, President Li, I’m Lin Fan," Lin Fan said with a smile.
Lin Fan!
Li Jianshui was taken aback; this young man was Lin Fan, the owner of the Mortal Group!
Li Zixia had mentioned it was Lin Fan who found her and brought her back to Huaxia. It seemed she wasn’t lying; indeed, Lin Fan had rescued her. He suddenly felt like he had fallen into a trap.
"President Li, I’ve recorded what you just did, attempted kidnapping and murder. I think this evidence is enough to send you to jail for a while!" Lin Fan said.
Li Jianshui immediately sobered up, breaking out in a cold sweat.
He had truly fallen into a trap!
It was a trap set by Lin Fan!
"Why, why did you all conspire against me?" Li Jianshui looked at Blonde Hair.
Blonde Hair wiped his sweat and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, President Li, when we went to find Miss Li, we were taught a lesson by him. We didn’t want to get beaten either."
Saying this, Blonde Hair gestured for everyone to release Li Jianshui, who was now so frightened he was powerless.
Li Jianshui finally understood that Lin Fan had already subdued Blonde Hair and his men. They had turned against him, helping Lin Fan set him up, luring Li Zixia close to him.
He was exposed, and Lin Fan was right there, capturing everything he did on video!
Now, the evidence of his crime was in Lin Fan’s hands!
He was in trouble!
In just those moments, he had ruined his own life!
Coming to his senses now, he was scared out of his wits.
"Zixia, I was too agitated earlier, I know I was wrong, Zixia, please spare your uncle. Beg Mr. Lin to delete the evidence, I don’t dare anymore!" Li Jianshui dropped to his knees in front of Li Zixia, pleading, snot and tears flowing.
Li Zixia said coldly, "In a moment of impulse, you wanted my life. How can I forgive you? If it weren’t for Mr. Lin setting this trap, would you be this scared?"
Li Jianshui had indeed gone mad with anger earlier, losing his reason. Lin Fan’s words woke him up, and he realized he was about to lose everything. His job would be ruined, his career destroyed, his family broken, and his life would be over.
This was never his intention; his original goal was just to make money!
For someone driven solely by profit, what could be more distressing, more anxiety-inducing than losing everything?
Unless he could get Li Zixia’s forgiveness.
"Sir, look, we’ve cooperated with you well. Can you let us off the hook? I promise I won’t dare again," Blonde Hair pitifully looked at Lin Fan.
They impersonated police officers, and if caught, even just making them drink bitter tea would be an understatement.
The reason they dared to do such a thing was that they hadn’t encountered Lin Fan before, thinking they wouldn’t get caught. Now that they had been, they were scared stiff, endlessly regretting it.
Lin Fan said, "Do you know what to do?"
Blonde Hair said, "Got it, when necessary, we’ll say it was all President Li’s orders."
Lin Fan said, "Get out of here!"
Lin Fan showed no hospitality to these hooligans.
Blonde Hair felt pardoned, wearing a cheeky grin, nodding, and bowing, "Thank you, thank you!"
With a few of the men, he quickly made a getaway.
On the scene, only Lin Fan, Li Zixia, and Li Jianshui were left.
Li Jianshui continued to plead with Li Zixia, "Zixia, for the sake of me being your biological uncle, spare me this time. I can’t go to jail; I have a whole family to support. Your aunt doesn’t have a job and has low survival skills. If I go to jail, she won’t know how to make money. My children, your cousins, will be so pitiful. Please have mercy and don’t let me go to jail!"
Li Zixia said, "Now you feel regret, but why did you dare to kill earlier? When you were holding the dagger ready to kill me, why didn’t you think of your wife and children!"
Li Jianshui said with a mournful face, "I momentarily lost my head. I was too obsessed with this deal and too eager for that money. This past year has been torment; I’ve lost too much money. I admit, I’m not a competent manager at all, I’ve done a terrible job. If this deal fails, it’s almost as if I’ve lost everything."
Li Jianshui indeed regretted so much he could cry, wishing he could swap his intestines right now. He’d rather lose all the money than rot in jail, because without money, he could at least have his freedom. In prison, not even freedom is left.
Li Zixia said, "Tonight’s events, I can pretend they never happened, but I have one condition..."
