Li Jie glanced at Leng Xuan, pulled a bullet from his pocket, placed it beside the handgun, and said, "This was given to by dad before he left. He made sure to have deliver this bullet to that guy as a present." As he said ’deliver,’ he clearly emphasized the word.
At this point, Ling Xuejiu couldn’t help but interject, "Uncle Li, why is this necessary? Nowadays, free love is promoted. Since Xiao Jie has found the person she loves, as a family, we should be happy for her. Opposing this might not be a good idea."
Li Jie waved his hand and said, "Xue Jiu, this is a family matter of ours, so don’t get involved. Besides, this is an order directly from my old man. He’s soone who stands by his word, without any room for change, so don’t waste your effort trying to persuade . I’m just here to execute an order. Alright, ngjie, call that man out. Don’t waste my ti; I still have things to handle later."
Li ngjie pouted, walked up to Leng Xuan, pushed him slightly, and whispered, "Go on, I’m leaving you to handle my older brother."
Leng Xuan imdiately broke out in a cold sweat and said, "How am I supposed to ’handle’ him? Beat him up and throw him out? Or just knock him out and have soone drive him away?"
"No way," Li ngjie imdiately shook her head and said, "You are not allowed to hurt him."
"So, what do I do?" Leng Xuan was baffled.
"I don’t care," Li ngjie pouted and said, "It’s up to you now."
Leng Xuan sighed, sat down opposite Li Jie with the table between them—on it, the handgun and bullet—and coughed. Squeezing out a strained smile, he awkwardly said, "Well... I’m that man."
Li Jie looked at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, and after a long while, he finally said, "You’ve got guts."
Leng Xuan wasn’t sure if Li Jie ant he had guts for having soone shoot at him or for dating his sister. In any case, he didn’t know how to respond.
"I’ll give you a chance," Li Jie said. "Break off your relationship with my sister right now, and loudly tell you don’t like her and will never pursue her again. Then I won’t pursue this matter any further."
However, as soon as Li Jie finished speaking, Li ngjie secretly signaled to Leng Xuan with her eyes, telling him not to surrender easily. Leng Xuan could only smile wryly and shake his head, saying, "I can’t do that."
"Alright then. In that case, don’t bla for being rude," Li Jie continued. "I presu you heard the conversation I had with my sister just now. Do you have anything else to say? Rest assured, although my old man is quite rigid, I am quite fair. If you think our family’s way of dealing with you is unfair, you can say so. I’ll decide whether to carry out the order by a vote. After all, orders from above can sotis be ignored, and I have the power to let you go. But it all depends on you."
Leng Xuan’s lips curled up at the words, finding Li Jie’s character to be not bad. He nodded repeatedly, saying, "I think it’s very unfair." He believed that with four people here, the voting would surely result in a three-to-one victory—he was certain to win.
"Good," Li Jie smiled and nodded. "Let’s vote on it then. Those who think we can let him go, raise your hands; otherwise, keep your hands down." As soon as he finished speaking, both Leng Xuan and Li ngjie quickly raised their hands high, as if afraid the other could not see.
"Three to one. Big brother, we won," Li ngjie said excitedly.
