3317 You Only Have Five Minutes
“Mingde, how should we handle this? Li Mochen injured Xiaoyang. We can’t let him go. Why don’t you pay someone to kill him?” Shi Shuyi said angrily.
“Shut up! Can you say such things outside? If someone hears it, even if something happens to Li Mochen and it has nothing to do with us, we will still be in trouble. Besides, killing someone means paying with your own life. If you don’t value your life, go ahead, but don’t harm the Li family.” Scolded Li Mingde.
“…”
Shi Shuyi was struck dumb. She understood Li Mingde’s words, but she always blurted her ideas out when she got angry. She knew that it wasn’t right, but she couldn’t stop herself.
“Then what should we do?” asked Shi Shuyi.
“Whatever we want to do, we’ll talk about it at home,” said Li Mingde.
Shi Shuyi was completely quiet this time.
After Li Xiaoyang’s injuries were treated, Shi Shuyi stayed with him while Li Mingde went back to the Li family’s mansion to handle other matters.
Upon returning home, Li Mingde told his father, Li Zongquan, about Li Mochen’s attack. Although angry, Li Zongquan still had the idea of inviting Li Mochen back to the Li family. He immediately ordered people to find Li Mochen.
Because Li Mochen just showed up at the Shengjing Restaurant, it shouldn’t be difficult to find out where he went afterwards.
“Dad, we can’t let him go. Xiaoyang’s dislocated arm isn’t a big deal, but a broken leg will have a big impact,” Li Mingde said, knowing that he couldn’t handle Li Mochen alone and needed his father’s help.
“I have a plan. You can leave now. I need to discuss something with your brother,” Li Zongquan said without revealing his plan for dealing with Li Mochen.
Li Mingde realized that his father had the idea of inviting Li Mochen back to the family. If Li Mochen returned, his father wouldn’t pursue the matter of attacking Xiaoyang.
The declining Li family was in need of support and influence and Li Mochen was a ready-made bridge.
Although they were aware of Li Mochen’s connections long ago, they didn’t take it seriously. They didn’t think that those important people would stand with Li Mochen against the Li family.
Nevertheless, they needed those people’s help right now.
If they wanted help, they could only start with Li Mochen.
In terms of personal grievances, Li Mingde didn’t want Li Mochen to come back, but from the perspective of the Li family, he wanted Li Mochen to join them, even though he still questioned Li Mochen’s ability.
However, if their father made the decision, he dared not oppose it.
Unfortunately, Li Zongquan wanted to secretly talk to his third son and made Li Mingde go out, which made Li Mingde dissatisfied, but he didn’t say anything and went out.
After Li Mingde went out, Li Zongquan instructed his third son, Li Mingke. “After finding Li Mochen, go and talk to him about coming back. If he comes back, I can overlook the matter with Xiaoyang.”
In Li Zongquan’s tone, there was not the slightest worry that Li Mochen would refuse, because he believed that without the Li family, Li Mochen would not be taken seriously by outsiders no matter how capable he was.
If the Li family supported him, outsiders would pay more attention to him. Therefore, it would be a good thing for Li Mochen to return to the Li family, and there was no reason for him to refuse. If he refused, then Li Mochen must be a fool.
Li Mingke agreed, but he wasn’t as confident as Li Zongquan. He thought that it wasn’t likely for Li Mochen to come back. After all, when Li Mochen was still in the Li family, his life was terrible.
Besides, Li Mochen and his friends seriously injured Li Xiaoyang, but Li Zongquan did nothing. Because Li Xiaoyang survived, Li Zongquan even told them to let it go. It was hard for them not to hate Li Mochen.
However, the Li family really needed Li Mochen, so he had to try.
Li Mingke soon found out where Li Mochen was and waited for him outside the clubhouse till 11:30 pm.
When he saw Li Mochen and his friends coming out, he immediately got out of the car and walked over.
“Can we talk, Mochen?” Li Mingke was polite to Li Mochen because there weren’t any serious grievances between them.
Although his children had also bullied Li Mochen when they were little, they didn’t have any malice towards him later on. After they grew up, they no longer hurt Li Mochen. Instead, they blamed themselves for bullying Li Mochen.
Even though he never cared about Li Mochen before, he never wanted to hurt him. He just wanted to get his help for the Li family.
“I have nothing to talk about with people from the Li family,” Li Mochen said coldly.
“Don’t worry, it’s not about Xiaoyang,” Li Mingke said, thinking that Li Mochen didn’t want to talk to him because of Li Xiaoyang.
“That’s funny!” Upon hearing that, Li Mochen sneered sarcastically. He said contemptuously, “Do you think I’m worried that the Li family will come after me because of Li Xiaoyang’s injuries? Well, I’m not worried about that. If the Li family does, no, it’s already happened before, but those men you paid were all a bunch of amateurs who weren’t worth my time. Does your Li family not have any smart people left? Instead of using your energy to deal with the enemies of the Li family, you keep coming to provoke me and deal with someone like me who doesn’t actively provoke the Li family. Are you trying to accelerate the decline of the Li family?”
Li Mingke was displeased. He also felt that the Li family shouldn’t always provoke and target Li Mochen, but he couldn’t control other people in the Li family.
“Mochen, I have something important to discuss with you. It won’t take up too much of your time,” Li Mingke said, not feeling angry because of Li Mochen’s words because he could understand it.
If it were Li Mingde or Li Xiaoyang, this kind of talk would definitely make them explode and angrily curse at Li Mochen.
Because of this, Li Mochen didn’t make things too difficult for Li Mingke. “Alright! You can have five minutes.”
“You guys wait for me in the car,” Li Mochen said, then gave his car key to Leng Xiaoyao before walking to the side with Li Mingke.
Mu Yiyang and Wu Wensi had a general idea of why Li Mingke came to see Li Mochen. It was probably to ask Li Mochen to return to the Li family and help them out.
However, they also knew that Li Mochen wouldn’t agree.
