Chapter 392 Li Chengxuan knew this was Huo Zhizhou's trap.

Chapter 392 Li Chengxuan knew this was Huo Zhizhou's trap.

Li Chengxuan frowned slightly, his voice a little hoarse than before: "You don't believe me?"

Old Master Li didn't even glance at him.

He stopped believing it after his people finished investigating Huo Zhizhou.

"He disguised himself as my secretary and came to my place with a woman and Jiang Ruan's bodyguards." Li Chengxuan recounted what happened, not understanding why his father didn't believe him even after he had called. "First he flooded me, then he turned my bodyguards against me..."

"Enough!" Old Master Li's voice suddenly turned cold.

Li Chengxuan's brows were furrowed with seriousness.

He didn't understand why his older brother didn't believe him.

With so much evidence in front of him, wouldn't it be enough to check if Huo Zhizhou had any overseas trips?

"Don't think I don't know what you're up to." Old Master Li's face was grim. "I know about your keeping women abroad and transferring assets."

Li Chengxuan: "???"

When did he start keeping women abroad and transferring assets?

Old Master Li stared at him and said, word by word, "Not only me, but Li Ze and Yu Jiao also know. If you want to stay alive and have a better life in your old age, you have to listen to me."

Li Chengxuan was filled with question marks.

They had no idea what had happened.

"You'll have to apologize to Jiang Ruan properly later." That was all Old Master Li could hope for. "Whether you kneel down and kowtow or cry your heart out, you have to beg for Jiang Ruan's forgiveness, or death will be your only fate."

"Don't try to fool me." Li Chengxuan didn't believe any of this. He had been brought here from the airport and had no idea what had happened during this time. "Even if Huo Zhizhou found evidence of what I did, I would only get a sentence of three to five years at most."

And the death penalty.

This old man really went to great lengths to please Jiang Ruan.

Old Master Li didn't waste any more words with him, and handed him the file folder that Huo Zhizhou had given him: "Take a look for yourself."

Li Chengxuan received it and opened it with a puzzled expression.

When he saw the contents, his pupils contracted and he unconsciously tightened his grip on the documents.

"This was given to me by Huo Zhizhou," Old Master Li explained to him. "He asked me to give him an explanation for Jiang Ruan's matter. If he is not satisfied with the explanation, he will hand this information over to the police."

Li Chengxuan's previously nonchalant expression turned deathly pale.

If these things are submitted, he could really be sentenced to death.

Commercial crime and various forms of smuggling...

How could Huo Zhizhou have known?

"The only one who can save you now is Jiang Ruan. Her words can influence Qin An and Huo Zhizhou's decisions." Old Master Li was still instructing him, "Be nice when you go in later, and bear with whatever she says."

Li Chengxuan didn't listen at all; his mind was completely blank.

He wondered why Huo Zhizhou could have easily eliminated him abroad, yet he managed to escape danger time and time again. He had always thought it was because he and his secretary were exceptionally clever and managed to get rid of those people.

It now appears that all of this was part of Huo Zhizhou's plan.

Those people were just people he was using to avenge Jiang Ruan, making him, like Jiang Ruan, repeatedly escape from desperate situations, yet forever unable to escape danger.

The evidence from within the country is his real trump card.

"Did you hear me clearly?" Old Master Li urged him.

Li Chengxuan really wanted to say it was useless.

Huo Zhizhou's plans were so meticulous that they couldn't possibly have any flaws.

Even if Jiang Ruan apologizes and repents and doesn't pursue those responsibilities, given Huo Zhizhou's personality, he will definitely retaliate in other ways.

He used to think that the Huo family's second young master's exclusive affection for one person was just a persona or a rumor, but now it seems that he is a rare romantic in the industry.

"Heh." He suddenly lost all hope.

Grandpa Li looked at him, puzzled, and said, "What are you 'heh' about?"

“It’s no use.” Li Chengxuan suddenly calmed down, all the fear and apprehension he had felt during this time vanished in an instant. “Even if I smash my head against the ground, Huo Zhizhou will not let me go.”

That kid is vindictive and heartless.

Old Master Li is going to scold him again.

Li Chengxuan calmly continued, "Whether you believe it or not, I did not transfer any assets, nor did I keep any women abroad. These are all Huo Zhizhou's means of retaliating against me."

Old Master Li's chest heaved with anger.

Even at a time like this, you're still saying these pointless things in front of him.

“But you’re right, I should go in.” A dark look appeared in Li Chengxuan’s eyes. “I should apologize to Jiang Ruan for what I did before.”

He emphasized the last few words.

Old Master Li felt that the tone was a bit strange, but seeing that he was willing to listen to him, he didn't think much of it.

As long as he is willing to apologize to Jiang Ruan properly, even if Jiang Ruan does not forgive him, she will not be as angry as before. After a while, he and Yu Jiao will talk to her again, and she might soften her heart and let it go.

Just as she was thinking this, Mo Mo opened the villa's front door.

Old Master Li and Li Chengxuan got out of the car together, and Tang Bai and Mo Mo led them into the living room.

“Young Miss.” Tang Bai stood beside Jiang Ruan consciously. “Mr. Li and Mr. Li Chengxuan have arrived.”

Jiang Ruan and Si Ning looked up at the same time.

The moment Li Chengxuan saw Jiang Ruan, his eyes were filled with undisguised hatred.

It's all her fault!

If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have become like this.

That damned girl deserves to die just like Qin An!

Mo Mo and Tang Bai noticed his emotions, and the two of them consciously moved closer to Jiang Ruan.

After learning that Li Chengxuan was among the visitors, they decided to stay close to Jiang Ruan. They didn't believe that the person who had plotted against their young lady before would have the nerve to apologize now.

"Grandpa, will your sudden visit be a disturbance?" Old Master Li asked politely.

Si Ning: "Yes."

She spoke bluntly and directly, without giving any face.

The faint smile on Old Master Li's face froze slightly; he hadn't expected this junior to be so impolite.

"Mr. Li, please just say what you need." Jiang Ruan acted distantly and politely, not even calling him Grandpa Li anymore. "I do have something to do later, and I'm a bit short on time."

Old Master Li was in a bad mood.

But now he needs her help, so he can't afford to be cold to her.

"I'm here today mainly to have your uncle apologize for what happened before." Old Master Li spoke calmly, then glared at Li Chengxuan. "What are you standing there for? Didn't you hear Ruan Ruan say she has something to do later?"

Li Chengxuan took two steps forward and looked up to face Jiang Ruan.

Only then did Jiang Ruan and the others get a clear look at him. Unlike the composed elder's face he had before, he now had several shallow scars on his face, and his eyes and the corners of his mouth were bruised and purple, making him look quite disheveled.

Almost instantly.

Jiang Ruan guessed how these injuries came about.

"No need for an apology," she said before Li Chengxuan could speak. "I don't need it."

Mo Mo agreed: "If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?"

Tang Bai said nonchalantly, "I have to put on an act, don't I?"

Old Master Li's breath hitched!

How come he never noticed before that the people around Jiang Ruan were so infuriating?

Instead of being angry, Li Chengxuan, the person involved, looked past Jiang Ruan and onto Tang Bai and Si Ning beside her, his hands hanging at his sides tightening little by little.

The two of them were the last people I saw abroad.
