Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Entire Audience is Stunned

Upon hearing this, everyone in the reception room was utterly shocked; they had not anticipated Li Changhong's attitude would undergo such a drastic 360-degree turn.

They all thought that Li Changhong would come to blows with Ye Fan in defense of his son, Li Shihao, but instead Li Changhong backhanded his now-disabled son across the face.

"Dad!" Seeing Li Changhong's fury, Li Shihao trembled.

The position Li Changhong had achieved today was proof that he was no fool. From the first moment he laid eyes on Ye Fan, he had noticed Su Ruoxue's disheveled appearance.

Even though Su Ruoxue had covered up her skin, as smooth as white jade, her clothes, torn by Li Shihao, revealed more than they should, an indiscretion impossible to hide.

Yesterday, Ye Fan had come in person, and before leaving, he told him that Su Ruoxue from the Su Corporation would come to get the partnership agreement early today.

And who is Su Ruoxue? She's Ye Fan's wife.

Ye Fan, in his anger yesterday, nearly drove Tianba Group to bankruptcy. This kind of super-powerful individual was someone he absolutely couldn't provoke.

That blockhead Li Shihao had not only offended them but even tried to sleep with his wife, practically begging for a hole to be punched through the sky.

"Scourge, don't call me dad. I don't have a son like you!" Li Changhong bellowed in rage.

Immediately thereafter, he turned to Han Li and said, "Manager Han, exactly what happened just now? Tell me everything!"

"Uh... this..." Han Li was taken aback.

Li Changhong could tell at a glance there was something involving Han Li, and decisively turned to question Su Ruoxue, "Miss Su, what exactly happened earlier?"

"Chairman Li..."

Faced with Li Changhong's inquiry, Su Ruoxue told everything truthfully.

"Scourge!" After hearing the story, Li Changhong angrily glared at Li Shihao.

Stammering with fear, Li Shihao said, "Dad, she's just the marketing director of Su Corporation, and the Su family is just a second-rate family. What's there to fear? For her, Su Ruoxue, to sleep with me is an honor!"

"What? You scourge, what did you say?"

Seeing that Li Shihao still dared to defile Su Ruoxue in front of Ye Fan, Li Changhong slapped him twice more.

He said frantically, "Mr. Ye, Miss Su, I don't own a son like this. This scourge has offended both of you today. Just give the nod and I'll immediately have someone slaughter him!"

"Dad, I've been crippled, and instead of helping me, you actually want to slaughter me?" Li Shihao was dumbfounded.

Li Changhong exclaimed angrily, "You scourge, what do you know?"

Li Changhong had witnessed Ye Fan's power. Today, since Li Shihao had insulted Su Ruoxue, he would spare no expense to placate Ye Fan's anger, even if it meant sacrificing Li Shihao.

In his heart, Tianba Group was more important than Li Shihao.

Besides, he wasn't even forty years old yet. With Li Shihao now incapacitated, he couldn't count on him. As long as he worked hard, having another child in the next couple of years wouldn't be a big problem.

If Tianba Group collapsed, then his entire life's work would be finished.

"Dad!" Li Shihao panicked.

Indeed, he was a hedonistic young master, but he wasn't so foolish. His father was exceedingly deferential toward Ye Fan, and without much need to think about it, he knew that Ye Fan was a major figure their Li family could not afford to offend.

Li Changhong looked toward Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue, "Mr. Ye, Miss Su, how do you intend to deal with this scourge?"

"Ruo Xue, what do you think?" Ye Fan asked.

Su Ruoxue had come to Tianba Group to collect the partnership agreement, not expecting to encounter the current situation.

After a pause, Su Ruoxue said, "Chairman Li, Ye Fan might have been a bit harsh injuring Li Shihao just now, and I would be grateful if Chairman Li does not hold it against me. As for other matters, I will not pursue them further!"

"Scourge, don't you dare delay your thanks to Miss Su!" Li Changhong scolded.

Li Shihao, not daring to hesitate, turned to Su Ruoxue, "Miss Su, I was driven by lust, and I admit my wrongs, I admit my wrongs!"

"Forget it!" Su Ruoxue sighed.

Though she truly despised Li Shihao, now that he was rendered disabled, she did not want to say too much.

After Li Shihao apologized, Li Changhong's gaze turned ice-cold as he looked at Han Li, "Manager Han, you have quite the nerve, aiding and abetting evil. If Mr. Ye hadn't arrived on time, I'm afraid Miss Su would have truly been desecrated by that scourge Li Shihao!"

"Chairman, I also know my mistake!" Han Li said, his face a picture of panic and confusion.

Li Changhong said with disgust, "Someone, chop Han Li into pieces and sink his corpse to the bottom of the lake!"

"Yes, Chairman!" Two bodyguards behind Li Changhong respectfully said.

"Chairman, Chairman..."

Hearing Li Changhong order his own dismemberment, Han Li was so frightened that his soul was ready to fly away.

Unfortunately, Li Changhong's murderous intent had already been aroused; no matter how Han Li screamed, he was eventually dragged away by the two bodyguards.

Realizing that his father Li Changhong was seriously intending to execute Han Li, Li Shihao was scared and covered in cold sweat. At this moment, he no longer doubted that if Ye Fan nodded, he himself might have died today.

Li Shihao didn't want to die; after all, it's better to live poorly than to die well. Even though he had been disabled by Ye Fan, at least he could still exist as a person, and as long as he lived, he could enjoy several more decades.

After Han Li was dragged away, Li Changhong then turned to Ye Fan with respect, "Mr. Ye, are you satisfied with how I handled this?"

At this moment, Li Changhong's demeanor was extremely humble, with not a trace of a business magnate's aura.

Li Changhong was keenly aware that Ye Fan was the most influential figure present, and if Ye Fan was not satisfied, the entire Tianba Group might be destroyed with just a word from him.

"Enough, I was only accompanying Ruo Xue to retrieve the partnership agreement. I did not expect it to become so unpleasant! If Ruo Xue does not pursue the matter, then let it go," Ye Fan said after a few seconds of silence.

Seeing that Su Ruoxue did not intend to pursue the matter, Ye Fan spoke slowly after a brief silence.

"Many thanks to Mr. Ye for your magnanimity!" Li Changhong said with great relief.

Then, Li Changhong barked, "Secretary, where is the partnership agreement I asked you to prepare?"

"Chairman!" The attractive secretary quickly handed over a partnership agreement.

Taking the partnership agreement, Li Changhong offered it to Ye Fan with respect, "Mr. Ye, here is the partnership agreement, signed for three billion. If it's not enough, we can add more!"

"Ruo Xue, is three billion enough?" Ye Fan asked.

Startled and delighted, Su Ruoxue said, "It's enough, three billion is enough!"

She knew that Old Lady Su had always wanted to sign a one billion partnership with Tianba Group, and she was shocked that Li Changhong had offered thirty billion.

"Well, since it's enough, then let's leave!" Ye Fan said softly.

Meekly, Su Ruoxue nodded, "Mhm!"

"I bid farewell to Mr. Ye, and goodbye to Miss Su!"

Seeing Ye Fan and Miss Su preparing to leave, Li Changhong hastily bowed deeply.

After Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue had walked away, Li Changhong then wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.

Although Ye Fan had spoken very little, the less Ye Fan said, the more oppressive Li Changhong felt. Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"You disaster of a son almost brought disaster upon the Tianba Group!" Li Changhong said darkly.

Li Shihao said with a look of grievance, "Dad, I didn't know someone like Ye Fan is not to be trifled with, even by you!"

"Chairman, early this morning, the young chairman called me to arrange for a one billion signing with the Su family's Su Tianhao, and I forgot to report this matter to you just now!" suddenly, the head of the Legal Department stepped forward.

Hearing this, Li Changhong was greatly shocked, "What? You signed a one-billion deal for the Su family's Su Tianhao?"

"Dad, is there... is there a problem with that?" Li Shihao asked fearfully.

Li Changhong's pupils contracted, and his body was overcome with a chill, for he knew well the hostile relationship between Su Ruoxue and Su Tianhao as competitors.

Consumed by rage, Li Changhong once again swung his hand, striking Li Shihao's face with a heavy slap, "You scourge, do you realize the enormity of the trouble you've caused?"

"Someone, hurry, prepare my car to head to Su Corporation!"
