Chapter 1247: Chapter 1297: It Turns Out to Be the Sun Family
"Bang!" Yifei Li heavily smashed his fist into Chu Dongsheng’s eye socket.
If Chu Dongsheng wasn’t being choked by the neck by Yifei Li, he could have moved backward to avoid it; even if he couldn’t avoid it completely, leaning his head back would have lessened the force. But now, he couldn’t move at all, and his eye socket was solidly punched by Yifei Li.
Only then did Yifei Li let go of Chu Dongsheng’s neck, and the man finally let out a scream, covering his eyes with one hand and his neck with the other, his face contorted with pain.
Yifei Li turned to look at Chen Dongping and said with a smile, "Director Chen, did you get all that?"
Chen Dongping shuddered, stamring, "This... this... it’s none of my business, right?"
"None of your business? Even Director Chen has turned into a caraman, and it’s still none of your business?" Yifei Li spoke calmly at first, but then suddenly shouted, "Just shoot when I tell you to shoot, do it properly!"
Scared, Chen Dongping’s knees buckled, almost causing him to fall on his butt, but he managed to stabilize himself by holding onto a chair. Clenching his teeth, he said, "Mr. Li, please... could you be less violent? Perhaps show so... decorum, please?"
"Decorum?" Yifei Li sneered, "You talk about decorum with
using these thods? I haven’t killed you directly, consider yourselves lucky. Now just shoot when I tell you to shoot, stop the nonsense. Do I also need to personally show you how to do it?"
Chen Dongping’s mouth twitched repeatedly, his beard trembling, he grimaced but dared not say anything more.
Yifei Li then faced Chu Dongsheng again, saying, "Feels good, doesn’t it? You seem to have a masochistic tendency. If I don’t satisfy it, I’d really be letting you down."
"Big brother... big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, please let
go," Chu Dongsheng pleaded in terror, suddenly kneeling down, no longer possessing his previous arrogance. He didn’t talk about laws with Yifei Li anymore; now that Li knew they were secretly filming, whatever they shot couldn’t be taken away. Their plan had utterly failed, enduring further beating would truly be masochistic, so Chu Dongsheng quickly pleaded for rcy.
"Wrong?" Yifei Li sneered once more, then suddenly, with a bang, threw another punch at Chu Dongsheng, smashing him hard and making him stumble back, struggling to get up after a long while.
After getting up, Chu Dongsheng panted and, not daring to scream out loud, endured the pain on his eye socket and stuttered, "Big brother, Clan Leader Li, you are an important person, I am just a nobody. Stooping to my level is beneath you. Please, treat
like I’m nothing, just let
go."
"Let you go? Weren’t you very arrogant just now? Didn’t you disregard , the Patriarch of the Li family?"
"No, no, no! Clan Leader Li, you are definitely an important person; next to you, I’m less than nothing. I’m really being forced here, it’s not my own intent to trouble you. If not, I wouldn’t dare provoke you even if I had eight more guts."
"Forced? Even you, Chu Dongsheng, can be pressured into doing things you don’t want to do? Even going as far as seeking a beating? I see that you don’t appreciate kindness and are indeed seeking death. If I don’t deal with you, how can our Li family still stand in this world?"
The more Yifei Li spoke, the fiercer he appeared, seemingly ready to tear Chu Dongsheng apart alive, which terrified Chu Dongsheng into repeatedly kowtowing and pleading urgently, "Clan Leader Li, I don’t have the guts for this, really, it was the Sunx family from the province who made
do this."
"The Sunx family?" This was an unexpectedly revealing answer for Yifei Li.
Chu Dongsheng hurriedly explained, "Yes, it’s the Sunx family. Didn’t sothing happen here with Sunx Kangping from their family? The Sunx family has been holding a grudge, so they had
stir up trouble with you, then upload a video of you beating soone to tarnish the reputation of the Li family online. If it gets big enough to draw attention from higher-ups, they might even completely destroy the Li family."
"Didn’t you say you had a large Capital City family backing you up?" Yifei Li asked, frowning.
"That was just a cover that the Sunx family wanted
to use to prevent tracing back to them, even if you found so clues, it couldn’t lead to them."
Yifei Li looked at Chen Dongping, who hurriedly added, "It’s true, it was indeed arranged by the Sunx family."
Yifei Li, Ning Xin’er, and Li Xinyue all looked at each other, initially thinking this was another incident orchestrated by so prominent family from the province, only to find out it was actually the Sunx family.
Yifei Li continued asking, "Then the incident a while back involving our actors and director leaving, was that also the Sunx family’s doing?"
Chu Dongsheng and Chen Dongping both shook their heads. Chu Dongsheng spoke first, "We don’t know about this. I only got involved because our dia company has always been closely connected with the Sunx family, so when they approached , I had to comply."
Chen Dongping quickly added, "I wasn’t clear about it either. I got involved because I owed the Sunx family a favor, so I had to help them with this."
Seeing the expressions of the two n, Li Yifei thought that they didn’t seem to be lying. Looking into Chu Dongsheng’s eyes, Li Yifei asked, "Who arranged this? Who contacted you?"
Feeling uneasy under Li Yifei’s intense gaze, Chu Dongsheng knew that avoiding eye contact would only betray his guilt. eting Li Yifei’s eyes squarely, he said, "The one who contacted us was Sunx Kangping’s mother, Ma Dongxiang."
Ma Dongxiang... Li Yifei recalled this woman, a notoriously overbearing figure, especially in her behavior towards Lin Qiong. Back then, they did not confront her beyond what was necessary due to her grief over losing her child.
Li Yifei’s dealings with the Sunx family later on were exclusively handled with the Patriarch Sunx Fugui, not Ma Dongxiang, who lacked sufficient status.
Li Yifei had stopped interfering in matters concerning the Sunx family, and although Sunx Fugui was surely discontent, Li Yifei felt that a clan leader like Sunx Fugui wouldn’t stoop so low to cause trouble, and if he did, he wouldn’t make it so blatantly obvious. Thus, it was very likely that this was Ma Dongxiang’s own initiative.
Decisively, Li Yifei called Sunx Fugui. Regardless of who was involved, it was ti to seek verification from the other party, which was completely acceptable. Previously, Li Yifei was interested in an iron mine, but the deal fell through due to the murder of Sunx Kangping. If it turned out that Ma Dongxiang was behind this, Li Yifei could leverage that to secure the iron mine.
"Clan leader Li, how can I help?
