Chapter 174 - We Need To Act Smart (1/2)

---Two days later-----

...In the Li Mansion.....

Last night, with the help of Li Biyu, Li Rong finally returned home.

Even though he only stayed in jail for two nights, the grievances he suffered were a lot.

The doctor who checked him said that, inside the cell, Li Rong was both physically and mentally abused a lot. The injuries to his body were too serious and with his unclear sanity, he rushed to attack anyone that came near him.

The doctor said that his level of sanity was debatable and that was because he was scared of what happened. Essentially, Li Rong was in a fight or flight state and it would take days for him to recover from it.

Currently, Li Rong was asleep in his room, thanks to the help of medications.

Elder Li 's heart could not help but feel like a knife was being twisted in it when he saw the bruises on Li Rong's body. He dared not think of what kind of torture Li Rong had actually suffered in jail.

'It must be that Shen!! He had to have done it under Yue's orders. I won't let either of you off.'

Li Zhi took a look at Li Rong on the bed and seemed to feel that his head-ached from all the stress. Sighing, he turned to leave.

'Tap! Tap!'

Knocking his walking stick, Elder Li put back on an air of arrogance.”Stop right there!”

Li Zhi stopped his steps.

”Rong has now become like this and yet you still want to go out and play with your new vixen! Don't forget who was the one responsible for his state!”

”It is useless for me to stay here. It would be better if I am undisturbed so I could think of what to do next.” Li Zhi's tone was somewhat impatient.

”You only know how to think...think! Look at the state your son's life is in because of your thinking. You really have no conscience at all!”

”Don't beat around the bush! Tell me what you want from me. I am fed up with your nonsensical lecture.” Li Zhi was somewhat irritated at seeing his son's brutalized state, but at the same time, he was angry for being outcasted from his own company's matters.

Looking at the situation, Li Biyu went up and tugged on Elder Li's arm. ”Grandpa calm down! It's not the time for us to fight, we still need to prove Rong's innocence. If we delay anymore, then we will become the next Wei family in the city.”

”This cannot go on.” Elder Li frowned as he tampered his worries down, ”We must find a way to create discord between the Yue family and the Xiao family.”

Li Biyu looked at her grandfather with serious eyes. ”Grandfather, I heard that the Minister of Defence, Mr. Qin has the intention to seek a marriage alliance from the Yue family.”

”For Young Miss Yue?” Li Zhi asked.

Li Biyu nodded her head and confirmed it.

Li Zhi gritted his teeth. ”She is really lucky to grab the Qin family's eyes !”

The Eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Guan, was a young man with superior talents and looks. Moreover, he had studied in the States and had only returned recently. He had already entered the Ministry of Science and Technology at his young age and made a name for himself. Getting married to Yue Wan would boost his career a lot. Not a bad choice for them!
