Chapter 445 He owes me this
As soon as Li Suizhi said this, the room fell silent.
Several people, including Ning Anquan, did not expect him to be so direct. It took them a while to react, and they frowned and said, "I don't understand what you mean."
Li Suizhi sneered and cut to the chase: "Weren't those revelations this morning all yours? Why are you still putting on an act now? Don't you think it's too late? Or are you just here to play games with me? If that's the case, I overestimated you."
Having said all that, Ning Anquan no longer wanted to maintain a facade of harmony with him, and immediately said with a stern face, "Since you already know, then I don't need to pretend anymore. I've come today to ask you a few questions."
"What's the problem?"
"The land my father bid for was something you deliberately lured him into bidding for, in order to drag him down and our family company down."
"yes."
Ning Anquan paused for a moment, then continued to ask, "You introduced Bai Limei to my father. Before that, she was your mistress. The reason you introduced her to my father was to sow discord between us and make my father alienated from everyone."
"yes."
"Was it you who instructed Bai Limei to persuade my father to sell our old family house? And was the house they're living in now also chosen by you, with Bai Limei persuading my father to buy it? Is your target my father or me?"
Hearing this, Li Suizhi finally looked up and glanced at him, chuckling softly, "What do you think?"
Ning Anquan's hands, hanging by his sides, tightened unconsciously, but he forced himself to remain calm and asked one last question: "Was my father's death related to you?"
Li Suizhi's expression shifted slightly, revealing a sense of melancholy and regret, yet his eyes also held a hint of remorse and longing, making his expression quite complex.
"I wish it had something to do with me, but unfortunately, it was too late."
Ning Anquan was taken aback, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false.
Logically speaking, since the person in front of us has already admitted to everything that happened before, there's no reason for them to lie about this last matter.
He could only admit that the previous things were malicious and despicable, but this last one was the one that truly involved human life.
It's understandable that Li Suizhi was unwilling to admit it.
Thinking this, Ning Anquan almost subconsciously looked at Ye Wanxi, hoping she could give him a definite answer.
Ye Wanxi already had a feeling about it before, and seeing Li Suizhi now made her even more certain.
This man did indeed intend to kill Ning Anquan's father, but he was not the one who orchestrated Ning Anquan's father's death.
Seeing Ye Wanxi nod, Ning Anquan couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. He remained silent for a long while before gritting his teeth and saying, "I don't understand. I don't understand why you did this? Aren't you and my dad friends for decades, best brothers for decades? You two had such a good relationship before. My dad was completely open with you, and you were the same way with him and me..."
The elder they had always respected and loved turned out to be a wolf who was always eyeing their family's property and their lives.
Ning Anquan still can't understand what kind of hatred could make this person hide for so long, just to plot and drive him and his son to a dead end.
"He is open and honest with me? Is he really open and honest with me?" Ning Anquan's words somehow touched Li Suizhi's sore spot, making his face suddenly become ferocious.
“If he truly trusted me, he wouldn’t have married your mother. If he truly trusted me, my father wouldn’t have died!” Li Suizhi stood up abruptly. “Do you think he’s so good to me, so good that he listens to everything I say, so good that he’ll agree to anything I ask?”
"Let me tell you, this is all just wishful thinking and hypocrisy on his part! Because your father knows in his heart that this is something he owes me, something he'll owe me for the rest of his life!"
Li Suizhi's words contained a great deal of information, especially since they involved Ning Anquan's mother and Li Suizhi's father.
Ning Anquan was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses and said coldly, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean that if my dad had been truly honest with you, he wouldn't have married my mom back then? What does that have to do with my mom? And your dad, what does your dad's death have to do with my dad?"
"You really want to hear it?"
“This isn’t a question of whether I want to hear it or not. I just want to know the truth, good or bad, I need to know how our family suffered this disaster. Of course, I want to hear the truth, not slander. You can say whatever you want, but I will still investigate. If you think that because my father is dead, he can no longer speak and can only let you slander and smear him, then you are very wrong.”
"Slander? Does he need me to slander him?"
Li Suizhi looked at Ning Anquan's face, which perfectly combined the excellent genes of Ning's father and mother, and remained silent for a few seconds before bringing up the past that he thought he had buried for many years.
Li Suizhi's relationship with Ning Anquan's parents is somewhat cliché; Ning Anquan's mother was a famous beauty on campus back then.
Li Suizhi fell in love with her almost at first sight and launched a relentless pursuit of her.
Ning Anquan's father was Li Suizhi's classmate and roommate in the same major. The two had been in the same school since high school and were admitted to the same university and major after graduation.
Before meeting Ning Anquan's mother, the two were already best friends.
However, Li Suizhi never expected that his best friend would betray him in the end, knowing that he liked Ning Anquan's mother, yet he still beat him to it and won the beauty's heart.
Li Suizhi could never forget that night when he came back from work with his buddies' favorite barbecue and beer. He thought that the goddess's birthday was coming up soon, and he could ask him for advice and ideas to help him win her heart.
Filled with hope, he walked across the playground under the moonlight and lamplight of the night, and saw a young couple leaning intimately side by side in the distance, seemingly talking about something.
The girl giggled, turned her head and glared at the man reproachfully, then angrily kissed him on the cheek.
The man was startled, his face turned red, but his gaze toward the person beside him was so tender and affectionate.
The two of them looked at each other, leaned closer, and kissed, all so naturally and smoothly.
The soft, warm light bathed them, creating a romantic and harmonious atmosphere, yet it deeply stung Li Suizhi's eyes.
The double betrayal by the woman he loved most and his best brother nearly drove Li Suizhi insane.
However, this is not the whole reason why Li Suizhi hates Ning Anquan's father so much.
"I couldn't get your mother back from him because I wasn't good enough, but what I hate most about him is that he always says one thing and does another, he's so hypocritical. He keeps calling himself my brother, but when it comes down to it, he won't even help with the smallest thing, and just watches my dad die!"
