Chapter 58. It's not that easy.

The two looked confused, as if they couldn't remember what it was about.

The lawyer kindly reminded him: "That day at the mall, the three of you omitted details and concealed the existence of Lin Mi and Miss Mei, telling Li Zhan and others that my client was on a date with Miss Jing."

"......"

“Given the special status of my client,” the lawyer said, “this defamation will directly affect the rise and fall of our stock price. We have secured evidence, including but not limited to surveillance footage, testimonies from classmates, and so on.”

Liu Sisi and Meng Shi's knees buckled.

I'm scared.

They are seniors.

Although an internship certificate means they don't have to go back to school to register, it doesn't mean they've graduated.

This is a serious matter, and it's impossible to avoid involving parents.

"Uncle, Uncle..." Meng Shi trembled, "I'm sorry, we were wrong. We were just kids joking around, we didn't mean any harm."

Liu Sisi pleaded, "Uncle, you've misunderstood. We were just chatting casually among classmates. We didn't know it was a rumor. We've remembered it and won't do it again."

A child's tricks are nothing compared to the ruthless and decisive men in the business world.

Li Mushi carefully wiped his hands, threw the disinfectant wipes into the trash can, and said without any emotional fluctuation: "Your ignorance is not something I'm considering. Since you are children, the responsibility can be attributed to the school and parents. In that case, I'll sue the school and parents together."

"......"

Liu Sisi felt somewhat desperate.

It's as if no matter what they say or do, the other party can use their strength against them, making them trapped in their own web, sinking deeper and deeper.

The method was very familiar.

Just like they did to Jingge.

“Uncle…” Meng Shi said anxiously, “It’s not our fault…it really isn’t our fault. We just listened to Zhuo Yueyue, we just followed her orders.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, we all listened to Zhuo Yueyue; it was her idea!"

Li Mushi: "The judge will decide the severity of the situation for the three of you; there's no need to inform me."

"......"

“I have other things to attend to,” Li Mushi said, looking at Liu Min and the others. “I’m taking my child with me now; the rest will be handled by the lawyer.”

After saying that, he walked out expressionlessly.

Suddenly, there were two "thumps" behind me.

Liu Sisi and Meng Shi knelt down before him, sobbing and pleading, "Uncle, please, we really didn't understand. We didn't know it would be this serious. You are of noble status and have a great heart, please forgive us this time..."

“This is a police station,” Liu Min frowned. “If you have something to say, say it. If you can’t get through to me, then we’ll take legal action…”

But neither of them wanted to get up.

Li Mushi turned around, his expression indifferent as he repeated, "Spare you?"

Liu Sisi and Meng Shi were covered in tears, their bodies trembling with fear.

"When you bully others to the point of desperation," Li Mushi's voice was cold and indifferent, "did you ever think of letting them off the hook?"

They didn't.

They ruthlessly kill others, yet expect others to be merciful to them.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

-

The weather was bright, and the sunlight pierced through the cold wind, making it a bit colder.

The man's warm coat was draped over his body.

Jingge looked up.

Li Mushi always had an inscrutable expression.

Jing Ge wasn't quite sure who the "others" he referred to in his last sentence to Liu Sisi and Meng Shi was, or if it was her.

It turns out there's more to the story about the shopping mall.

She didn't know.

I didn't know that Zhuo Yueyue and her friends had stirred up trouble in front of Li Zhan and other classmates.

But she vaguely realized something.

Her behavior of getting close to and relying on Li Mu will lead to rumors and undermine his status.

Her original fiancé was Li Zhan, and she was Li Mushi's niece-in-law.

Therefore, after he helped her set up the scheme to dissolve the engagement, he immediately distanced himself and made her leave the official residence.

He is a member of the Li family.

Helping her has already put the Li family under moral condemnation and put them at a disadvantage. It has already let down the family and the second brother and sister-in-law who raised him.

He and the Li family have been incredibly kind to her, but she is ungrateful and clings to someone who treats her well, without considering whether she will cause him trouble.

Jing Ge blinked a few times, took off his coat, and handed it back to him: "Thank you, Uncle. I'll take a taxi back to the company."

The man looked down at her, but didn't take the coat.

Jingge's hand froze in mid-air.

The men's overcoat was thick and heavy, and Jingge's arms quickly ran out of strength while supporting it, so he couldn't help but lower it a little, and the hem of the overcoat immediately drooped to the ground.

It's covered in dust.

It seemed to foreshadow the consequences of associating with her.

What she cannot lift will only bring disgrace to the other party.

After staring at her for a few seconds, Li Mushi looked away and gazed at the clear sunlight in the sky: "Put it on, what are you thinking about?"

"Uncle, I'm hungry," Li Ying said timidly. "I want to eat."

Li Mushi hummed in agreement.

Jing Ge: "I'm not going..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, his expression solemn, containing a barely perceptible hint of rebuke.

Jing Ge swallowed the rest of his words against his will.

never mind.

Since he agreed, there shouldn't be any impact; otherwise, he would be more self-aware than she is.

Jingge silently put on his coat.

The coat was made of a crisp woolen fabric, large enough to fit two of her. Jingge really wanted to button it up tightly and wrap herself up like a blanket.

This feeling was so complicated that Jingge couldn't figure it out. She knew it had nothing to do with love, yet she wanted to immerse herself in his body temperature and scent.

If forced to categorize it, Jingge calls this feeling the "baby bird complex."

During her specific sensitive period, she regarded him as the only person she could trust.

Li Mushi chose a quiet Western restaurant. As they went up the steps, Jing Ge's coat would occasionally brush against the ground, and she would grab the fabric on both sides to pull it up.

As if he couldn't bear to watch any longer, the man frowned lightly, then casually grabbed the back of her coat to expose her feet so she wouldn't trip on the steps.

Stepping into the restaurant, you are greeted by a warm breeze.

Before Jing Ge could even take off his coat, Li Mushi had already picked it up and handed it to the waiter next to him.

Jingge's shoulders suddenly relaxed.

“Uncle, I want pizza,” Li Ying said cheerfully. “Can I order violin service?”

The man said in a deep voice, "Be mindful of your volume when you speak in public."

Li Ying: "".

Luckily, her older sister was there, otherwise she would rather starve to death than eat with her younger brother.

Li Ying and Jing Ge squeezed to one side, while Li Mushi sat opposite them.

After they finished ordering, Li Mushi handed the ordering tablet to the waiter and then scrutinized the two of them with a serious look.

"Speak."

"..." Jing Ge paused for a moment, "What did you say?"

Li Mushi: "Li Ying will speak first."

Jing Ge: "".

Suddenly remembering that they had been dragged out of the police station, Li Ying's cheerful mood instantly wilted: "It wasn't our fault, Uncle, why are you interrogating us..."

While complaining, she frantically tugged at Jingge's clothes under the table, signaling for her to help.

Jing Ge pursed his lips, trying to plead, "Uncle..."

The man shifted his gaze and uttered calmly, "Your turn is coming soon."

Jing Ge: "".
