The Li Family's Legitimate Son, Li Mingze

Three minutes later, the disheveled Li Mingze appeared in the General Manager's office right on time.

As the eldest son of the Li Family, Li Mingze inherited the excellent genes of his father and mother, scoring high in appearance. He somewhat resembled a recently popular entertainment star, but his eyes were somewhat vacant, his eye sockets red, and his face constantly bore a look of fatigue, as if from frequent late nights.

At first glance, one might think he was going for a decadent look...

At this moment, he stood before the desk, looking at Li Ruobing who was leaning back in her chair, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

"Sis... what... what are you doing here?"

Li Mingze was very nervous.

Ever since he was a child, whenever he stood before Li Ruobing, he would always feel an irresistible sense of oppression, naturally generating extreme tension and fear.

As he grew older, Li Ruobing's excellence further highlighted Li Mingze's incompetence, and this feeling intensified.

To the outside world, he was the scion of a wealthy family, the Legitimate Son of the Li Family, with an exceptionally prominent and noble status.

But when facing Li Ruobing, Li Mingze would revert to being that timid weakling who only dared to follow behind her, meekly afraid to speak up.

Although Qin Lan had secured him the operating rights for the Film and Television City under the Li Group after Li Ruobing founded Mingzhu Company, he had no interest or talent in managing it whatsoever.

In the two years that Li Mingze had been in charge of the Film and Television City, the financial reports had consistently shown a deficit, operating at a loss.

In fact, Li Mingze hadn't originally expected to achieve anything. It was quite good for him to hide here, far away from Li Ruobing and his father, and be his own little emperor.

At least in this building, he was the king who controlled everything.

He could do whatever he wanted, and if he wanted to sleep with a certain young woman, she would obediently offer herself up.

"Come here..." Li Ruobing beckoned with a finger, her face expressionless.

Li Mingze hesitated for a moment, adjusted his collar, and chuckled dryly, "Sis, you haven't eaten yet, right? I'll have someone..."

"Slap!"

A slap instantly stunned Li Mingze!

Li Mingze covered the left side of his face blankly, paused for three seconds, and then immediately became enraged.

It was true that he was afraid of Li Ruobing, but he wasn't so terrified that he wouldn't dare to say anything when she slapped him for no reason!

"Li Ruobing, are you crazy! Why did you hit me!" Li Mingze glared, his tone already becoming very angry, but he didn't dare to step forward and retaliate.

His courage and anger could only support him to the point where he dared to speak loudly to Li Ruobing.

Li Ruobing's face was grim as she slowly stood up from her chair. "An Artist who was cooperating with my company just had a Car Accident."

"What does that have to do with me?" Li Mingze felt extremely wronged.

"Before the Car Accident happened, a car from our family went to the Artist's agency to find her, wanting her to unilaterally terminate her cooperation with Pearl. After she refused, the Car Accident happened very coincidentally." Li Ruobing stepped forward. "Even though you're a bit stupid, you should be able to see the problem here, right?"

Li Mingze froze for a moment.

He finally understood where Li Ruobing's anger came from.

He was also aware of the Li Family's agreement, but with his ability, he was simply not capable of participating in it. This matter was clearly the family not wanting Li Ruobing to complete the agreement, deliberately creating trouble and causing problems for Pearl.

"I've been preparing the Qiantang New Store for nearly a year. Tao Wanqing is the spokesperson I specifically hired. Now, she's lying in the hospital, her life hanging in the balance, and all my plans have been disrupted." Li Ruobing slowly walked to the wall, took down a Tang Dynasty Sword used for decoration, and slowly drew the blade. "What kind of reaction do you think I should have?"

The sound of the blade rubbing was particularly harsh in the office. Looking at the fully drawn Tang Dynasty Sword, Li Mingze swallowed and felt a little dry in his throat.

Although this Tang Dynasty Sword was a decoration, it had long since been sharpened by someone. The terrifying blood groove was particularly conspicuous under the light.

Li Mingze didn't doubt for a moment that Li Ruobing would dare to stab him here. This woman was a lunatic; there was nothing she wouldn't dare to do. He had known this since he was a child.

"I didn't know about this... You know, how could the old man let me participate in something like this?" Weighing the pros and cons, Li Mingze chose to swallow his anger and quickly explained, "This is a family matter, it's useless for you to come to me... I can't stop the old man from doing what he wants!"

Li Ruobing sneered.

She directly placed the cold blade lightly on Li Mingze's shoulder, tilted her head, and asked, "The old man is abroad right now. Besides him, who else do you think could have done this?"

Li Mingze's face instantly turned pale!

Su Rui sat on the sofa nearby, legs crossed, holding a cup of hot tea. He gently blew on the tea leaves floating on the surface and took small sips of the tea.

It was as if everything happening before his eyes had nothing to do with him at all.

"No... it couldn't be my mom... she... she shouldn't..." Li Mingze stammered an explanation, but he also knew very well in his heart that there was an eighty percent chance that Qin Lan was behind this, because even if Li Guodong wanted to use some means to punish Mingzhu Company, he wouldn't use such vicious and insidious tactics.

No matter how much conflict there was between Li Guodong and Li Ruobing, he wouldn't involve others; Li Guodong had worked hard for decades, he still had that much magnanimity.

Only Qin Lan's personality could possibly do something like this!

Upon thinking this, Li Mingze felt his heart pounding uncontrollably.

If Li Ruobing had already confirmed that Qin Lan was behind this, what would she do when she was blinded by anger?

"Tao Wanqing's leg is broken, she'll be in the hospital for at least a few months." Li Ruobing said expressionlessly, "Her move made me very angry and very heartbroken... So, I want her to experience the same feeling."

Li Mingze felt that Li Ruobing's words were becoming more and more wrong, and the temperature in the office seemed to drop several degrees.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he quietly took two steps back.

Snap!

Su Rui smiled and gently closed the office door.

Seeing this scene, Li Mingze's heart turned cold.

"Li Ruobing, what are you trying to do... I warn you not to mess around. If you touch me, not only will the old man not let you off, but the police will also come after you!" Li Mingze kept backing away, feeling sharp stings on the skin of his neck from the blade.

He was truly afraid in his heart.

He was genuinely afraid that Li Ruobing would go crazy here and recklessly slash his neck!

"I'll leave you one hand to eat with," Li Ruobing said expressionlessly.

Su Rui walked straight up, his large hand like iron pincers grabbing Li Mingze, dragging him stumbling to the office desk. At the same time, he pressed Li Mingze's left hand firmly onto the desk!

Li Mingze struggled a few times, but it was completely useless.

Seeing Li Ruobing approaching with the knife, veins bulged on Li Mingze's forehead, his pupils constricted, his face full of fear. He shrieked, "Li Ruobing! You're really going to chop off my hand? Are you f*cking crazy... you..."

"Security! Security!"

Li Mingze was completely dumbfounded. Li Ruobing acted the moment she spoke, not giving him any chance to react.

"Let go of me! You f*cking..." Li Mingze still wanted to struggle.

Whoosh!

A piercing sound of air being cut rang out, and a flash of bright white blade light flickered!

Li Mingze's mind went blank.

It's over!

Thud!

The blade embedded directly into the desktop by half an inch. Warm liquid splashed, spraying onto Li Mingze's face.

"Ah! My hand! My hand!" Li Mingze immediately let out a miserable scream, like a lone wolf with a severed limb, utterly wretched!

Li Ruobing frowned slightly.

Su Rui smiled and shook his head.

Li Mingze was still screaming.

"Stop howling!" Li Ruobing's face was cold. She directly grabbed Li Mingze by the collar and yanked him up. "Did I cut you?"

The office desk was a mess.

Where the Tang Dynasty Sword entered the wood, a ceramic teacup was split in half.

The liquid that splashed on Li Mingze's face was just the hot tea from the teacup, not the blood he had instinctively assumed it was!

"My... my... my hand is still here!" Li Mingze trembled all over, clutching his perfectly intact hands. His face was pale, his clothes soaked with cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of a cold water pool. "You f*cking... scared me..."

In that instant just now, Li Mingze had almost believed that he would be disabled from then on.

It was a disaster looming, a fear that was almost devastating!

Li Ruobing's face was expressionless. She said word by word, "Your identity can only protect you once."

Li Mingze's eyes were wide and blank. He didn't dare to say a word.

"Tell her that for normal business competition, I'm ready anytime! But if she plays these dirty tricks again, next time, I'll prepare a set of prosthetics for you!"

Li Ruobing finished speaking decisively and didn't look again at Li Mingze, who was half-crouching on the ground, his body and mind broken.

"Let's go."

Su Rui smiled and waved at Li Mingze, then directly pushed open the office door and left with Li Ruobing.

Three minutes later.

The female executive who had been "fighting" with Li Mingze earlier peeked into the office door and asked cautiously, "General Manager Li, do you need me to call the Security Department?"

"...Call for sh*t!" Li Mingze gritted his teeth and cursed, then waved at her again. "Come, come in and help me up. My legs are a bit shaky, I can't stand up."

The female executive ran over with small steps.

"General Manager Li, why is your face swollen?"

"I fell and hit it!"

"General Manager Li, you... why are your pants wet? Did you pee your pants?"

"Bullsh*t! The teacup broke, and the tea splashed on me!" Li Mingze cursed.

The female executive looked at the wet patch in the center of Li Mingze's crotch, sniffed a certain smell of urine in the air, and nodded with a very firm stance. "Yes, General Manager Li, I believe you!"

Sitting at the office desk, it took a full twenty minutes for him to recover.

Li Mingze then hesitated, took out his phone, and dialed a number.

"Mom... I don't want to manage the Film and Television City anymore. Send me abroad for a while..."

"Li Ruobing came to see me today... Do you know how she talked to me?" Li Mingze hesitated for a long time, still concealing the detail that Liu Ruobing had scared him into peeing his pants. "Anyway, I can't stay in Tongzhou anymore. If Li Ruobing's company is ruined, she will definitely kill me!"

The other end of the phone was silent for a long time.

A very decisive voice sounded, carrying a tone of command that could not be refused.

"No, you can't go."
