Xia Ling was a little stunned after hearing this story.
Her impression was that gang people were bad, but she didn’t expect that the Li family had a history like that.
Li Lei continued, “After battling for two generations, the standard of living of these laborers slowly improved. Many people were unwilling to continue doing hard labor, so they started their own small businesses or went to the streets to test their luck, hoping to find some errands to do.
“But very quickly, everyone realized that it was difficult for Chinese people to integrate themselves into society. They suffered from discrimination, exclusion, and oppression. These hardships were difficult to imagine...
“Under the leadership of the Li family ancestors, the gang offered them protection again.
“An for an eye. That was the way they protected the helpless shopowners in precarious situations and sought justice for weak women and children...
“That’s how the Li family’s power grew and became the world’s largest Chinese power.” Li Lei gently said to Xia Ling. “Xiao Ling, although my family has a gang, we are kind-hearted and are different from other gangs. Later, other gangs formed such as the Nangong family which had the sole intention of profit-maximizing. They smuggled, conducted drug trafficking, forced young girls into prostitution, and other vile things. You don’t have to be nice when dealing with a family like that.”
Xia Ling shuddered in fear. She didn’t expect that such an elegant person like Nangong Qingya would have such a dark background. “Did Nangong Qingya participate in these vile activities?” Xia Ling asked a difficult question.
Li Lei sneered. “No one is clean in their home.” He researched Nangong Qingya’s background very clearly. She once handed a girl who angered her to her gang, which killed the girl. After that, she even scraped her skin off and used it to make a lantern.
Li Lei once expressed his objection to Old Master Li as he was unwilling to marry such an evil woman.
However, Old Master Li said, “Xiao Lei, you’re too particular about principles. You may be good at managing a proper business, but that doesn’t mean that you can develop the gang well. You need a cruel and merciless assistant to complement you. Nangong Qingya is a good choice.”
Li Lei said, “I don’t need a woman’s help.”
Old Master Li said, “If you don’t have a scheming strategist, you won’t even be able to beat Li Feng.”
“We’ll have to see about that.”
“Stop playing around!”
The conversation between Old Master Li and his grandson ended unhappily.
In reality, Li Lei was very clear that all that talk about scheming strategist and cruel assistants was fake. Old Master Li only wanted him to settle his marriage as quickly as possible. Anyone was good as long as his wife was not Xiao Ling.
He kissed Xia Ling’s forehead. “Stay away from Nangong Qingya.”
“Ok.” Xia Ling acknowledged.
Li Lei continued to help her chase after the 75 billion. Nangong Qingya was broke, so she asked for money from the Nangong family. In a few days, the entire Nangong family became a joke. Even the entire Chinese upper class, both abroad and local, knew about this situation. Second Young Master Li fell out with the Nangong family because of a female star. Not only did he disfigure Nangong Qingya’s face, but he was also trying to recover a 75 billion debt.
There were also unwritten rules.
A dutiful child is obliged to pay his parents’ debts and vice versa.
When someone was in debt, it was very natural for it to involve the entire family.
Li Lei completed prevented the Nangong family wrong doing business domestically and sneered at Nangong Bohai, the head of the family. “When you finally pay back the 75 billion, I will let you go.”
Nangong Bohai also sneered. “Well then, I just won’t do business in China.”
With a command, he brought his entire business to Southeast Asia.
Nangong Qingya cried and begged her father to save her and cure her face. However, 75 billion was enough to cause the entire Nangong family to go bankrupt. How could Nangong Bohai sacrifice the accumulation of hundreds of years of wealth for his daughter? “If you make more noise, I’ll drive you out of the family!” He fiercely warned Nangong Qingya.
Nangong Qingya’s sisters gloated at her misfortune.
Ha, in this family, Nangong Qingya always thought that she was the prettiest. No matter what, she was ambitious and willing to step on her sisters to get ahead. It served her right. With a disfigured face, she would not be able to marry in the future!
They all mocked Nangong Qingya.
Nangong Qingya was embarrassed, scared, and anxious like a cat on a hot roof. Tears flowed down her face the entire day.
In the Bogu garden.
Li Lei played chess with Du Yunfeng, the young executive director of the Du Family Corporation.
The black and white chess pieces interlaced on the agarwood board. Every step had the rhythm of flowing water.
“You seem to be in a good mood.” Du Yunfeng placed a white chess tile and chatted with Li Lei.
Li Lei countered his move with a black chess piece and smiled lazily. “Someone is helping me deal with the Nangong family, how can I not be happy?” Nangong Bohai dared to fight against him because he was relying on his main business overseas, and Li Lei did not have full control of the Li family business overseas. Thus, Nangong Bohai was sure that Li Lei would not be able to touch him.
However, he forgot that Du Yunfeng was also there.
Du Yunfeng was Li Lei’s sworn brother. More importantly, he used to be Nangong Qingya’s fiance. In order to marry into the more powerful Li family, the Nangong family canceled the marriage contract and viciously offended them.
“Although the Du family is not the most prestigious, dealing with the Nangong family is a piece of cake. However, Second Young Master Li, don’t forget that you borrowed the strength of the Du family to suppress the Nangong family. We also played a part in this business and contributing territory.”
“How could I forget?” Li Lei was still very relaxed. “I’m at ease doing business with you.”
In reality, both of them knew very well that even if Li Lei did not ask for the Du family’s help, the Du family also wanted to suppress the Nangong family. The cancelation of a marriage contract was an enormous humiliation. If they did not seek revenge, the Du family would lose their pride.
It was just that their forces were larger and more deadly with Li Lei.
A month later.
The Nangong family was forced to the corner of bankruptcy.
Nangong Bohai finally came to beg Li Lei. “Second Young Master Li, let me go. I beg you to let me go!” He understood that begging the Du family was useless. It looked that the Du family was the main threat, but in reality, without Li Lei’s support, they would not be able to amass such thunderous might.
However, Li Lei said, “What a joke. You’re finally begging now.”
“I will do whatever you want!”
“75 billion?”
“Ok! 75 billion!” Nangong Bohai cried and gritted his teeth. If he lost 75 billion, the Nangong family would still be able to retain a few million, but if he messed up, he might not even be able to keep a few million.
“Also, drive Nangong Qingya out of the family.”
“What?”
“Your daughter is such a troublemaker, I’m sure that you won’t mind as the head of the Nangong family.” Li Lei smiled lazily like the spring breeze. “She provoked my woman and wanted to escape?” He wanted everyone to see that anyone who tried to step on his Xiao Ling would not have a good outcome. So what if they had Old Master Li’s backing? Nangong Qingya’s failure would be their warning!
In the future, people would have to be more careful before they decided to go against his wishes.
