Chapter 393 Li Chengxuan Takes Action
“It’s your business if you don’t need to, but I have to apologize to you for the foolish things I did before.” Li Chengxuan suppressed all his emotions and said in a calm voice.
"Hiring someone to commit a car accident isn't something that can be dismissed with a simple 'I was confused' statement," Tang Bai explained to Jiang Ruan.
Li Chengxuan met his gaze: "Just tell me what you need."
Jiang Ruan spoke up: "Go to the police station and turn yourself in. Tell the police everything you've done. The court's verdict is my demand."
"As long as he does what you say, you can convince Huo Zhizhou and Jiang An not to pursue the matter further?" Old Master Li grasped the key point.
Jiang Ruan replied, "As long as he tells everything, I can let it go."
She pronounced the word "all" very clearly.
Both Grandpa Li and Li Chengxuan understood what she meant.
She not only wanted Li Chengxuan to go to the police station to confess to hiring someone to commit murder, but also wanted him to confess all his commercial crimes and smuggling activities. What's the difference between that and handing over his life to the police in advance?
"He is, after all, your uncle. Can't you be a little more lenient for the sake of family?" Old Master Li was worried when he saw that she had no intention of backing down.
"Mr. Li is joking." Jiang Ruan disliked the Li family at all. "My surname is Jiang, and I have no connection with the Li family."
He came to see her once or twice, but never once did he genuinely feel guilty.
Why would a family like this want to cause trouble for themselves?
Old Master Li frowned deeply.
"Brother, there's no need to speak up for me. I was foolish and made mistakes before." Li Chengxuan was completely calm and composed. "It's normal for Jiang Ruan to want me dead."
"No, no, no," Tang Bai corrected him. "It's not that our young lady wants you dead, it's that the law can't tolerate what you've done. Don't try to pin any false accusations on our young lady."
Mo Mo: "Yes."
Si Ning didn't speak, but looked at Li Chengxuan with a questioning gaze.
According to the information she found, Li Chengxuan was not the kind of person who would apologize or admit his mistakes; even if a knife were held to his throat, he would not admit defeat.
Why is your attitude so good now?
“No matter what, wrong is wrong. As an elder, you should have cared for the younger generation, but you did so many absurd things.” Li Chengxuan looked repentant. “If you want me to turn myself in, I will.”
Jiang Ruan didn't believe that this was his true feeling.
How could someone who fought with Uncle Li for so many years for personal gain possibly repent just because of a few words?
"But before that, I have two small requests, and I wonder if you can grant them?" Li Chengxuan looked at her.
Jiang Ruan refused without even thinking: "No."
Li Chengxuan's face instantly fell.
He looked as if he had suffered a great injury.
“Since you’ve decided to turn yourself in to the police station, go now.” Jiang Ruan’s words were devoid of emotion, which, from Old Master Li’s perspective, was cold-blooded. “I’m afraid you’ll regret it if I’m too late.”
A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Li Chengxuan's lowered eyes.
The little girl really does have the same bad temper as Qin An.
Old Master Li couldn't stand it anymore: "Just tell me what you want. As long as you voluntarily turn yourself in, I'll agree to anything."
If Li Chengxuan's attitude is good after surrendering himself, and if he goes to talk to the people there on his behalf, he might be able to reduce the sentence.
It can only be said that she truly deserves to be the daughter raised by Qin An.
This ruthless and heartless demeanor is exactly the same as when Qin An left Zhi Shen!
"First, take good care of my wife and Li Ze." Li Chengxuan's voice was a little muffled. "Yu Jiao is used to spending money extravagantly. If I turn myself in, my company and assets will definitely be seized, and her spending will be affected. As for Li Ze, his career is in a mess. If possible, I hope someone can lend him a hand."
"Secondly, please don't report this. I don't want my actions to affect their lives."
After a few words...
Old Master Li's brows furrowed with seriousness, but he spoke without hesitation: "No problem."
Jiang Ruan's expression didn't change at all.
She couldn't believe that Li Chengxuan would say such a thing.
In the final moments, all this person really wants to do is protect themselves. Saying these things at this moment has only one purpose: to lower her guard.
"That's completely unbelievable," Tang Bai said, seemingly eager to stir up trouble. "I'd rather believe that dogs and cats can have babies than believe that you're someone who would consider your family."
“If you really cared about your child, you wouldn’t be thinking of sending Li Ze to the army while secretly doing so many illegal and criminal things.” Si Ning exposed him without hesitation.
Mo Mo: "Yes."
Li Ze wasn't angry: "I know you won't believe anything I say now, but time will tell."
Old Master Li had complete faith in everything he did.
The old man believed that a prodigal son's return was more precious than gold, and that as long as Li Chengxuan recognized his problems and actively corrected them, it was never too late.
"I'll wait for you to prove it all." Jiang Ruan had never believed it either. "Tang Bai, Mo Mo, see the guests out."
The two immediately stepped forward.
Li Chengxuan looked up: "Wait a minute."
All eyes were on him.
Li Chengxuan took two steps toward Jiang Ruan, but before he could take a third step, Tang Bai and Mo Mo stopped him, blocking his path and his view.
"I just want to apologize to Jiang Ruan properly," Li Chengxuan said, enunciating each word clearly. "After I apologize, I will turn myself in."
“Our young lady has normal hearing.” Tang Bai crossed his arms and said casually, “She could hear you even if you stood where you were standing.”
Given the precedent of previous pursuits, how could they possibly let this person get even a fraction closer to the young lady?
This kind of person is full of bad intentions.
Maybe what he really wanted was to tie up the young lady and let him go.
“Fine.” As Li Chengxuan spoke, he stepped back. “I’ve stepped back. Now can you move aside so I can bow and apologize to her?”
Tang Bai and Mo Mo exchanged a glance, estimated the distance, and then consciously moved a little distance to the side.
At that very moment.
Li Chengxuan suddenly pulled out a knife hidden on his body and threw it at Jiang Ruan!
At such a short distance, there wasn't even enough time to intercept.
The composure and desolation on Li Chengxuan's face were instantly replaced by madness. He didn't care whether the knife could kill Jiang Ruan or not; all he wanted was for the two bodyguards to rush to protect her.
Once their attention is diverted, he can easily capture Si Ning.
He had investigated and found that this woman was a friend of Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Ruan. If he could capture her, he could use her to negotiate with Huo Zhizhou and Jiang Ruan.
An apology? An admission of wrongdoing?
He wouldn't, and it's even more impossible for him!
His thoughts stopped when Mo Mo easily caught the knife flying towards Jiang Ruan. Before he could speak, Tang Bai kicked him: "Bang!"
Li Chengxuan fell to the ground in a sorry state!
"I was prepared for this move." Tang Bai looked down at him. "Don't even mention one knife, even if you had thrown ten knives at me just now, Mo Mo could have easily caught them."
Mo Mo looked at him and said, "I'm not that amazing."
Tang Bai: "Don't be modest."
Mo Mo was very sincere: "At most, I'll knock them off. My hands aren't big enough to hold ten of these knives."
Tang Bai: "..."
Everyone: "..."
