Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 643: Chapter 643: It’s All Your Fault

Li Guangming had his cheek wound simply treated at the hospital, applied some ointment, and then took a flight back to the capital.

By the time he returned to the capital, it was a little after four in the afternoon.

After getting off the plane, he went straight to the detention center.

There he saw his father, Li Ruinian.

Li Ruinian’s face was worn and tired, and he looked twenty years older than before.

Given the massive quantity of drugs he trafficked, escaping the death penalty was out of the question.

...

The immense stress had turned his hair white overnight.

“Dad.” Li Guangming was on the verge of tears upon seeing his father in this state.

“What happened to your face, who hit you?” Li Ruinian frowned and asked.

“Dad, never mind about me, how about you?” Li Guangming inquired.

“What more can I say.” Li Ruinian couldn’t concern himself with much else and did not press further, his face twisted into a bitter smile, “There’s no escaping the death sentence, but I’m relieved that you weren’t involved in this. You’ll have to rely on yourself from now on and live a normal life, which might not necessarily be a bad thing for you. It’s just that I won’t rest in peace not knowing who is bringing down the Li family.”

Li Guangming said, “Dad, I know who it is.”

Li Ruinian was startled. “You know?”

Li Guangming nodded. “Yes, I know.”

Li Ruinian immediately asked, “Who is it?”

An image of Xu Yang appeared in Li Guangming’s mind, and he said through gritted teeth, “It’s Xu Yang!”

Although there was no concrete evidence, he was convinced that Xu Yang was behind it.

Otherwise, it couldn’t be such a coincidence.

And the same tactics had been used against Li Guangliang previously.

Li Ruinian furrowed his brows, “Xu Yang? Who is that? Why does that name sound familiar to me?”

He had never met Xu Yang, but he had heard the name mentioned on some occasions.

Li Guangming explained, “Dad, Xu Yang is the owner of ‘Riverbottom Salvage’.”

Being the owner of ‘Riverbottom Salvage’ was Xu Yang’s most famous identity.

‘Riverbottom Salvage’ was widely known and had expanded at a terrifying pace, so there was no one in the business world who didn’t know of it.

“Him? Why would he target our Li family?” Li Ruinian was full of confusion.

Xu Yang had become a billionaire in just over a year, yet he had no known grievances with the Li family.

“It must be because he felt I was repeatedly against him, and since I wasn’t tainted by any major scandals, he looked into the Li family and discovered your activities,” speculated Zhong Feipeng.

It had to be said, his guess was spot on.

“So you’re saying it’s because of your attempts to go against him that our Li family has met with this catastrophe?” Li Ruinian looked at Li Guangming, his gaze changed.

“Dad, you can’t blame me for this. The recent rumors about the flash drive in the capital are his doing. Could I have just swallowed my pride and said nothing?” Li Guangming said.

“Why would he do this? How did you end up in conflict with him? You had just returned to the country, so it doesn’t make sense that you would clash with him. Tell me the whole story,” Li Ruinian demanded further explanation.

“Here’s what happened: initially it was Li Guangliang… then there was the incident with Shen Yuyan… later, when I was in Harbor City… and yesterday in the prestigious city…” Zhong Feipeng laid out his conflicts with Xu Yang.

“You…” In a rage, Li Ruinian, even with his hands cuffed, managed to slap Li Guangming across the face, causing stars to burst in his vision.

“Dad, why are you hitting me?” Li Guangming felt extremely wronged.

It was one thing to be hit by Zhong Feipeng, after all, he had stolen someone’s private room the previous night, and with the Li family ruined, he had no backing, so it was normal for others to come looking for trouble.

But for his own father to hit him, what did that mean? @@novelbin@@

“It’s all because of you, if you hadn’t kept provoking Xu Yang, how could our Li Family end up like this!” Li Ruinian, seeing his son still unaware of his mistake, slapped Li Guangming again.

Indeed, all this trouble was caused by Li Guangming.

If Li Guangming hadn’t repeatedly provoked Xu Yang, why would Xu Yang have investigated the Li Family?

And how could the Li Family have gotten into trouble?

At this moment, he truly wished he could beat Li Guangming to death.

He had thought that when his son returned from the beautiful country, he could gradually take over the Li Family.

But unexpectedly, he had brought about a disaster that threatened to destroy the Li Family.

If he had known it would be like this, he would never have let his son come back.

“Dad, no matter what, I am your son. Besides, it was Xu Yang who obtained the evidence. Direct your anger at Xu Yang, not at me. Xu Yang is the real mastermind!” Li Guangming said, feeling wronged.

“He may be the mastermind, but the root cause still lies with you!” Li Ruinian stared fiercely at Li Guangming.

“Dad, don’t worry, I will take revenge for you,” Li Guangming quickly changed the subject, afraid his father would hit him again.

“How can you take revenge? You will just be an ordinary person from now on, while he will be a billionaire. Tell me, what ability do you have to take revenge?” Li Ruinian roared.

“Dad…” Li Guangming looked around, spotted the camera in the corner, and then leaned in close to Li Ruinian’s ear to tell him about hiring an assassin.

“Very good, very good,” Li Ruinian said with satisfaction. “You’ve finally done something right. Make sure he’s buried with our Li Family members. His death must be reported to me, or I will die with my eyes open.”

His son had finally done something to please him.

“Dad, don’t worry, he’s definitely doomed,” Li Guangming said hatefully.

He couldn’t believe that a professional assassin would fail to kill Xu Yang.

To tell the truth, he really regretted confronting Xu Yang when he had already hired the assassin.

If it hadn’t been for that, the Li Family wouldn’t have gotten into trouble.

Unfortunately, it was already too late for regrets.

His only hope now was that the assassin would kill Xu Yang.

“Alright, you can go now. Don’t stay in the capital anymore. Leave immediately and find a place to live where no one knows you,” Li Ruinian said.

“Dad, what’s wrong with staying in the capital? At least I can come to see you often,” Li Guangming said, not understanding.

“You need to know that the Li Family has friends, but also enemies. Now that the Li Family is finished, countless enemies are watching you, waiting to kick you while you’re down. As my son, you will undoubtedly be the focus of attention. If you stay in the capital, something bad is bound to happen. Only by leaving the capital and going somewhere unknown can you live in peace,” Li Ruinian explained.

Upon hearing this, Li Guangming was taken aback.

He hadn’t considered this, and was still thinking about staying in the capital until Xu Yang was killed by the assassin, then going to Harbor City to make Xu Yang’s family pay.

Now, it seemed that plan was impossible.

However, after some thought, he still said, “Dad, I have very good friends. The Meng Family and our Li Family have been allies for generations, and I have a good relationship with Meng Zhiwen. Staying at his place for a while shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Li Ruinian shook his head bitterly, “Guangming, you still don’t understand human nature. Before, the Meng Family and our Li Family were equals, which is why we were allies and why you and Meng Zhiwen could be good friends. Now that the Li Family has fallen and you’re no longer the Li Family heir, neither the Meng Family nor Meng Zhiwen will take you seriously. Don’t make a fool of yourself.”

Li Guangming was somewhat reluctant to believe this, “Dad, surely it can’t be like that. I know Meng Zhiwen, he’s not that kind of person.”

“Not that kind of person?” Li Ruinian scoffed, “If you don’t believe it, call him in front of me and ask if you can stay at his house for a while. See if he agrees.”

He had seen through such things long ago.

He had planned to teach Li Guangming these lessons gradually, but who could have expected such a turn of events?

Teaching Li Guangming now would at least allow him to understand the reality and the true nature of people.

This would benefit Li Guangming’s future life.
