Chapter 464 - 462 Moral Coercion

462 Moral Coercion

Ze’en’s face was no longer as humble as it had been a few days ago. Instead, it was ferocious and twisted by hatred.

Li Tingfeng’s expression was colorful as if he had spilled dye on his face.

“What did you say?” At this moment, Li Tingfeng finally realized that his daughter, who pretended to be pitiful in front of him, did not seem to be so innocent and kind.

At this moment, he remembered that his wife had reminded him that Li Ze’en was back to take revenge on him.

After Li Tingfeng’s dignity and patriarchal authority were provoked by Li Ze’en, he revealed his fangs in humiliation and scolded Li Ze’en fiercely, “Li Ze’en, do you know what you’re saying? Are you provoking me? Do you know the consequences of provoking me?”

!!

Li Ze’en was no longer timid and afraid. Instead, she looked at Li Tingfeng gloatingly.

“Li Tingfeng, your end has come. Do you know that?”

She called him by his name, making Li Tingfeng furious.

“Li Ze’en, get out. The Li family doesn’t welcome you.”

Her stepmother watched the father and daughter quarrel. Not only did she not stop them, but she also revealed a smug smile. She even sowed discord. “Tingfeng, do you believe me now? This girl is back to collect debts and take revenge. During this period of time, our family has been in chaos. It’s all because of her.”

At this moment, it was rare for this couple to stand on the same side to suppress Ze’en.

Ze’en did not panic. She walked up to her stepmother and handed the photo she was holding to her stepmother. “Don’t be smug. Like I said, he abandoned the dross for a mistress and forced his first wife to jump off a building and leave with nothing. Such a man will definitely have a fourth or fifth woman after he achieves success. And you, an old mistress, will also end up like my mother.”

When the woman saw the photo of Li Tingfeng and a young and beautiful girl, she was furious.

She threw the photo at Li Tingfeng furiously and roared at him, “Alright, you actually fooled around with another woman behind my back. Li Tingfeng, you’re already old and half your leg is buried in the yellow soil. You betrayed me for a moment of pleasure. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll learn from Huang Yushu and move out of this house with my children, leaving you with no one to send you off?”

When Li Tingfeng saw the photo, he explained angrily, “This is just a normal business cocktail party. She’s just my female companion.”

The woman’s anger eased slightly. Because she knew that the quality of a female companion represented status in business, which was nothing to the men of the upper class.

Seeing that her stepmother’s anger had been extinguished, Li Ze’en’s attempt at sowing discord seemed to have failed. However, she was still happy because she knew that she had planted a seed of doubt in her stepmother’s heart. In the future, she would no longer believe that she was Li Tingfeng’s only one. She would always be filled with disappointment in love.

That was enough.

Li Tingfeng looked at the photo and thought of how secretive that cocktail party was. If Li Ze’en could get the photo inside, her net would be very wide.

A hint of fear finally appeared in his eyes. He asked Ze’en fearfully, “Where did you get this photo?”

Ze’en walked up to him and sat opposite him very arrogantly. She crossed her legs and lit a cigarette.

The smoke was hazy, enveloping her depressed face.

When Li Tingfeng saw her like this, he suddenly remembered how she was not conscientious when she was studying and interacted with shady people all day.

Li Ze’en blew out a smoke ring and bargained with Li Tingfeng as an equal. “You should know that I have enough trump cards to send you to prison.”

Li Tingfeng’s face was ashen.

He was both angry and terrified at being held hostage by his daughter, whom he despised the most.

“Li Ze’en, you’re really evil to the core. I’m your father. How dare you scheme against me?”

Li Ze’en laughed crisply. “Hehehe.”

Li Tingfeng’s face stiffened at her sinister smile.

At this moment, he realized that Li Ze’en, who cried and showed weakness at every turn and pretended to please him, would never regard herself as his daughter.

She hated him and couldn’t wait to put him to death.

“Hmph, I’m upright. What evidence can you have against me?” Li Tingfeng changed to probing.

At this moment, there were more and more people in the lobby. Because the situation was serious, even the old man came out in a wheelchair.

At first, they only held back. Even if Ze’en wanted to send Li Tingfeng to prison, they only felt that those were Ze’en’s angry words. Ze’en would not really have evidence of Li Tingfeng breaking the law. Moreover, Ze’en would not really be so heartless to Li Tingfeng.

Unexpectedly, Li Ze’en said, “Li Tingfeng, you don’t have to test me. I’ve already submitted evidence of your tax evasion and illegal operations all these years.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Tingfeng smiled evilly.

Tax evasion was a mistake many celebrities made. At worst, they would make up the taxes. No harm done.

However, Li Ze’en changed the topic. “These two windfalls of yours… I think they’re enough to take your life.”

Li Tingfeng smiled confidently. He was careful with these two businesses and would not be discovered.

However, when Li Ze’en’s expression landed on the photo in his hand, Li Tingfeng’s face instantly turned pale.

“Where did you get this photo?”

Li Ze’en smiled evilly. “If you want others to not know, don’t do it. Li Tingfeng, it’s time for you to pay the price for your actions.”

At this moment, when the old man saw Li Tingfeng’s terrified expression, he immediately knew that Ze’en was telling the truth.

Although the old man hated Li Tingfeng for being useless, he was still his son. He still could not bear to see his downfall.

He quickly reminded Li Tingfeng, “Tingfeng, what did you do to let Ze’en down that she hates you so much? Apologize to her properly. There’s no overnight grudge between father and daughter. Ze’en, stop here.”

Li Tingfeng refused at first. “How did I do anything wrong to her? It’s obvious that she’s ruthless and won’t stop until she does me in.”

At this moment, her stepmother was also frightened. If Li Tingfeng went to jail, this family would be gone.

Li Tingfeng’s assets would also be confiscated. At that time, she would end up like Huang Yushu and leave with nothing.

Her stepmother’s usually unyielding face had a hint of submission. “Ze’en, he’s still your father. If you send him in, others will criticize you.”

Li Ze’en roared with red eyes, “Don’t use the non-existent father-daughter relationship to coerce me.”
