To help his three adoptive siblings, Zhou Chen sacrificed his future, only for them to succeed. However, instead of gratitude, he was met with ingratitude, leading to a lifetime of hardship.
...
Snap!
Hearing this, Li Zhenrong could no longer hold back. He raised his cane and struck Li Xiaolong. "You bastard, do you know what it means if we really do this? Our Li family will be completely ruined. From now on, we will be unable to stand on Hong Kong Island and will become a laughing stock with no credibility. You are not helping the Li family, you are harming the Li family."
“Grandpa, you…” Li Xiaolong was puzzled. He didn’t think that doing this would cause such a serious damage to the Li family’s reputation. His grandfather was making a mountain out of a molehill.
But Li Zhenrong's next words left him dumbfounded once again.
Do you know why I know the secret of your ungrateful father?
"It was Zhou Chen who brought it over voluntarily."
"If what he has is exposed, it will put our Li family in the eye of the storm in Hong Kong."
"Tampering with the bet to make him back down? Haha, you're trying to provoke him and force him to expose your father's dirty secrets. Do you think anyone will still be willing to cooperate with us after our Li family's scandals are exposed?"
Upon hearing this "breaking news," Li Xiaolong felt unsteady on his feet and took several steps back.
Zhou Chen knew so many of his father's secrets, and he had always regarded Zhou Chen as his rival, trying to defeat him. Little did he know that Zhou Chen had already discovered the weaknesses of his Li family.
No wonder Zhou Chen didn't mock him too much after winning the bet.
He now understood that Zhou Chen's ignoring him and talking to Li Zhenrong back then wasn't simply ignoring him, but rather because of these reasons.
The Li family even owes Zhou Chen a favor.
How ridiculous, how utterly ridiculous! The opponent that Li Xiaolong wanted to defeat has become a friend of the Li family, a figure even the family fears.
A huge sense of frustration rose in my heart.
A thought popped into Li Xiaolong's mind: perhaps Zhou Chen never considered him an opponent, but rather his father, Zhou Haide.
The contents of the document he saw were strong evidence.
