Chapter 223 - 223 223 Zhu Lie's Subordinates

223: Chapter 223 Zhu Lie’s Subordinates 223: Chapter 223 Zhu Lie’s Subordinates “Qian Xiang, what do you mean by this?

You know I’ve liked you for a long time, and now you’re being so heartless?” Li Qianwen said through clenched teeth.

“Li Qianwen, you should be praying for divine protection right now.

This guy is a subordinate of Boss Zhu Lie.

I suggest you call your father and have him deal with this.

If you’re lucky, he might be able to get you out of this.

If not, then you’ll have to pay with your body!” Qian Xiang said.

Li Qianwen was stunned.

This person was actually under Zhu Lie!

She was just looking for a scapegoat, how did Zhu Lie become involved?

Even when her father met Zhu Lie, he had to be exceptionally polite.

Now that she was falsely accusing Zhu Lie’s people, she couldn’t bear the consequences.

“Little girl, did you forget to check the almanac before leaving the house today?” the man laughed.

Li Qianwen was so scared her legs went weak.

She was full of regret now.

Why, why did she provoke Zhu Lie’s subordinate this time?

“I’m really sorry, I apologize sincerely, it wasn’t intentional,” Li Qianwen quickly apologized to the man.

At this moment, Su Changfeng came out of the bathroom.

When the man saw Su Changfeng, he instinctively straightened his back.

Just as Su Changfeng was about to walk past, Li Qianwen suddenly grabbed his hand.

Given Su Changfeng’s good relationship with Gu Changsheng, he could definitely solve this matter.

“Su Changfeng, please help me, won’t you?

Aren’t you and Mr.

Gu on good terms?

Could you ask him to say a few words on my behalf?” Li Qianwen said, her face full of fear.

Su Changfeng frowned and smiled faintly: “Didn’t you just tell me to get lost?

Already forgotten that?”

“I’m sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that,” Li Qianwen understood the trouble she was in.

If her father found out, she’d definitely get a scolding.

Qian Xiang couldn’t save her, but Su Changfeng could, so even admitting her mistake to Changfeng was worth it.

“I can’t help you,” Su Changfeng said with an indifferent expression, shaking off Li Qianwen’s hand and returning to the box.

Li Qianwen knelt in despair in front of the man and said, “Please, forgive me just this once.

I really didn’t mean it.

I’m begging you.”

The man sneered in his heart, thinking that there’s no way this would be easily settled after offending Brother Changfeng.

He grabbed Li Qianwen by her hair and dragged her back to their box.

Zhu Lie and Feng Bin were both in the box.

When Feng Bin saw his subordinate bringing in a woman, Zhu Lie asked, confused, “What are you doing?”

The subordinate leaned in and whispered a few words to Zhu Lie, and with his shrewdness, Zhu Lie immediately understood what Li Qianwen was trying to do.

Her plea for help was directed to the wrong person, and she even missed the only opportunity she had.

Telling Su Changfeng to get lost—how courageous.

“Have your father come over.

You little girl, trying to use my people, there’s always a price to pay,” Zhu Lie said.

In another box, Gu Qing’er noticed that Li Qianwen hadn’t returned, and curiously asked, “Where’s Li Qianwen?

Where did she run off to?”

“Miss Gu, Li Qianwen offended one of Zhu Lie’s subordinates,” Qian Xiang said.

“Zhu Lie?

What did she do?” Gu Qing’er asked, puzzled.

Qian Yang explained the situation to Gu Qing’er, and after listening, she felt no sympathy for Li Qianwen because she clearly knew what kind of scheming nature this so-called friend had.

If she was merely plotting to have Qian Yang play the hero to save the damsel in distress, Gu Qing’er might have spoken a good word for Li Qianwen because she was from the Gu Family, and Zhu Lie would definitely give her this face.

But since Li Qianwen had told Su Changfeng to get lost, she wasn’t worth any sympathy from Gu Qing’er.

“Qian Xiang, Li Qianwen put in quite some effort because of you, weren’t you moved at all?” Gu Qing’er said with a smile.

Qian Xiang decisively shook his head.

If he didn’t feel anything before, there’s even less to say now.

This foolish woman Li Qianwen not only offended Zhu Lie but also Su Changfeng, and offending Su Changfeng was equivalent to offending the Gu Family.

“Miss Gu, a scheming woman like Li Qianwen, even if you marry her, life won’t be peaceful,” Qian Xiang said.

Gu Qing’er agreed and nodded: “Let’s eat, and from now on, stay away from her to avoid being plotted against.”

At this moment, Li Qianwen could be described as at the end of her rope.

She never expected things to turn out like this, nor did she expect that the situation would become so serious, just because she told Su Changfeng to get lost.

Before long, Li Qianwen’s father, Li Tianhao, hurried over.

When Li Tianhao saw Zhu Lie and Feng Bin, he didn’t even ask what was going on and directly scolded Li Qianwen harshly.

“What have you done to offend Boss Zhu?

Kneel down and apologize immediately,” Li Tianhao shouted angrily.

The Gu Family was a commercial giant in Hai City, and Zhu Lie was a major figure in the grey area of Hai City.

Given the weight of the Li Family, even with their ties to the Gu Family, they still wouldn’t risk offending Zhu Lie, because the Gu Family wouldn’t speak up for the Li Family.

Zhu Lie put down his chopsticks and poured Li Tianhao a full bowl of white wine, saying, “You must be thirsty, drink this to quench your thirst first.”

Li Tianhao was eager to slap Li Qianwen to death right then.

He’d definitely go to the hospital to have his stomach pumped after this bowl of wine.

But even if he didn’t drink it, he’d still end up in the hospital.

Li Tianhao tilted his head back and drank the bowl of white wine, still managing to smile and say to Zhu Lie, “Boss Zhu, the girl doesn’t know any better.

If there’s anything wrong, please be merciful and forgive her this once.

If you have any requests, feel free to say, I’ll do my best to meet them.”

Zhu Lie gave a cold smile and poured another full bowl of white wine, saying, “Li Tianhao, are you saying that I’m deliberately extorting you?”

Li Tianhao’s face turned pale instantly, and he hurried to explain, “Boss Zhu Lie, you’ve misunderstood, you’ve misunderstood me, that’s not what I meant.”

“Then what did you mean by that?” Zhu Lie said, looking at the wine.

Li Tianhao’s expression was one of helplessness and pain.

He had just finished a bowl of wine, and now his throat and stomach felt like they were on fire.

But he had to drink this bowl as well.

After drinking another bowl of wine, Li Tianhao felt like he could go perform a fire-breathing act now.

He quickly said, “Thank you for the fine wine, Boss Zhu Lie, but I really can’t drink anymore.”

“This little girl has quite a mind of her own.

She seems clever, but in reality, she’s digging her own grave.

Make sure to discipline her in the future.

If there’s a next time, it won’t just be as simple as drinking wine,” Zhu Lie said.
