Li Tingfeng did not force him.
Li Zecheng said calmly, “Is there anything else? If not, I’ll go back to work.”
Li Tingfeng looked at him in a daze. Even though they had only met for a short time, Li Zecheng still looked very impatient.
Li Tingfeng said, “Zecheng, don’t hate me. I know I was wrong. If I can start over, I will definitely cherish our family.”
Li Zecheng smiled teasingly. “Life is not an act. No one can predict their ending. No one has a chance to start over.”
!!
Li Tingfeng lowered his head in shame.
Li Zecheng said, “I heard your case is about to go to trial?”
Li Tingfeng raised his head in shock, his eyes filled with anticipation. Actually, deep down, he yearned for Li Zecheng to help him find connections to lighten his punishment.
However, Li Zecheng was so cold to him that he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to suggest it.
Now that Li Zecheng had taken the initiative to mention this, he begged, “Zecheng, help Dad. I don’t want to die here.”
Li Zecheng raised his head, thinking about something. For a long time, he was silent.
In the end, he looked at Li Tingfeng and asked, “As long as you make up for the money in your tax evasion case, your jail term would not be very heavy. But I heard from Qiao An that you’ve recently gotten to know some people in the underworld. You made an illegal deal with them, and it might involve drugs and firearms.”
Li Tingfeng lowered his head and did not speak.
Li Zecheng looked at his expression and knew that Qiao An was right.
In order to help Qiao An investigate the origins of this gang as soon as possible, Li Zecheng made a decision.
“If you want me to help you, then tell me everything you know about them. I’ll deal with them and say that you didn’t know and were deceived. How about that?”
Li Tingfeng’s eyes were filled with hesitation.
Li Zecheng saw through it. “Looks like they promised you that there will be a lot of benefits waiting for you after you get out of prison, so you’re unwilling to betray them?”
Then, he switched to a disdainful expression. “You believe those people’s words? Do you know? With your mistakes, you won’t be able to walk out of here in your life. Their promises are just to fool you.”
Li Tingfeng said, “You’re talking nonsense. Firstly, I didn’t commit murder and arson, and secondly, I didn’t betray the country. I’m just avoiding taxes. How many years can I be sentenced to? I’m still healthy. It won’t be a problem for me to endure for eight to ten years. If you’re willing to help me, my sentence can still be reduced. I might be out in three to four years. At that time, I can still make a comeback.”
Li Zecheng was extremely disappointed. “Are you dreaming? In three or four years, you’ll be out of touch with society. Even if you want to curry favor with them, they might not think highly of you.”
“You’re already so old, but you’re actually as muddle-headed as a three-year-old child. You’re in prison, but you still want to get rich.” Li Zecheng sneered.
“Since you’re unwilling to tell the truth, stay in prison. I can’t help you. I won’t come on the day of the trial.”
Li Tingfeng’s hopes were dashed. “Zecheng, are you really not going to save your father?”
Li Zecheng said, “I can save you, but I have to ensure that my hands are clean. If you can’t tell me the truth about those large funds of unknown origin, I won’t get involved in this mess.”
With that, Li Zecheng pushed Huang Yushu away.
“I’ll tell you,” Li Tingfeng suddenly shouted.
Li Zecheng stopped.
Then, he returned to Li Tingfeng’s side.
Li Tingfeng gave Li Zecheng a phone number and said, “This number belongs to Boss Guo. He’s my informant. I contact him every time. He still has someone above him, but I don’t know the situation above.”
“How do I meet this Boss Guo?”
Li Tingfeng was very cautious and hesitated for a long time.
Li Zecheng’s face darkened. “If you don’t tell me the truth, why do you think I wasted my precious time helping you get out?”
Li Tingfeng saw Li Zecheng’s impatient expression and asked nervously, “Will you really help me?”
Li Zecheng’s face darkened. “I don’t want to help.”
Li Tingfeng smiled bitterly. “Why would you do your best to help me?”
Li Zecheng could tell that he was wary of him. He suddenly stood up and said, “Then wait for death here.”
Before he was about to leave, Li Tingfeng grabbed him. “I’ll talk.”
“He won’t answer this phone number if you call him. You have to send a message with the code d666! Then someone will contact you.”
Li Zecheng narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, “How did you contact Boss Guo in the beginning?”
Li Tingfeng said, “He took the initiative to look for me.”
Li Zecheng sneered. “There are so many people. Why did he choose you?”
Li Tingfeng seemed to have something to say and did not dare to speak.
Li Zecheng left after receiving reliable news.
At the entrance of the prison, Huo Xiaoran’s car was waiting. After Li Zecheng and Huang Yushu got into the car, Qiao An couldn’t wait to ask, “How is it? Did he tell the truth?”
Li Zecheng held the phone in his hand, took a deep breath, and handed the note to Huo Xiaoran.
“This is his contact, Boss Guo.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “What’s the secret signal?”
Li Zecheng was slightly stunned. He really admired his uncle’s wisdom.
“d666.”
Huo Xiaoran said, “I’ll go to the streets with him on your behalf.”
Li Zecheng and Qiao An were stunned. After all, it was very dangerous to deal with those people.
Li Zecheng said, “Uncle, you have to be careful.”
Qiao An panicked.
After Huo Xiaoran sent Li Zecheng and Huang Yushu home, when only the two of them were left in the car, he held Qiao An’s hand.
“Baby, don’t worry about me.”
Qiao An shook off his hand and said with red eyes, “How can I not worry? Why didn’t you discuss such a decision with me?”
Huo Xiaoran stopped the car and comforted his wife.
Seeing Qiao An turn her head, tears welling up in his eyes, his heart ached. He turned Qiao An’s face over and coaxed, “An’an, don’t be afraid. I’ll protect myself. You forgot that I’m a martial artist.”
Qiao An said, “Brother Xiao Ming is also skilled in martial arts. But what happened?”
She wanted to tell him that he couldn’t be alone in this matter. But she couldn’t say the words to stop him. She could only feel aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Huo Xiaoran held her face and smiled. “I know you’re worried about me. I also know that you’ll definitely let me go. An’an, I know you too well. You’re just a little afraid…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be careful with every step I take. I’ll definitely live well for you and the children.”
Tears streamed down Qiao An’s face as she nodded solemnly.
