Chapter 355 I only ask you to let her go
"Could it be that you are, you are." For a moment, Mr. Li quickly recalled his past memories, but he couldn't remember anything.
"Yes, that's right. You guessed it right. You didn't want my mother back then, but you wanted to marry that woman from the Ye family. Now your retribution has come."
Mr. Zhao walked up to him and looked at Mr. Li coldly, his eyes filled with anger and pain that had been suppressed for many years. His voice was low and hoarse, as if every word carried a heavy weight: "Mr. Li, do you think I did this just for the money and the shares? You are wrong! I have waited for this day for too long, waiting for you to personally admit your mistakes back then!"
Mr. Li's face turned pale instantly, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
Mr. Zhao continued, "What did you say when you were with my mother? You said you would take care of her for the rest of her life and make her happy. But what happened? You abandoned her without hesitation in order to gain the power of the Ye family! Do you know how painful it was for her? Do you know how much she suffered when she was alone with me?"
His voice became more and more excited, and his eyes were slightly red. "In order to support me, my mother worked from dawn to dusk every day, and even exhausted herself. But she never complained, and only told me to be strong, to work hard, and not to be abandoned like her. But what about you? You live a glorious life, married the daughter of the Ye family, and sat in a high position in the company, but you have never looked back at us!"
Mr. Li's expression became increasingly ugly, and his eyes were filled with complex emotions, as if Mr. Zhao's words had pierced the deepest guilt in his heart.
He murmured in a low voice: "I...I really didn't know you were her son. I was sorry for your mother and you for what happened back then."
Mr. Zhao sneered, his tone was a little sarcastic: "I'm sorry? Do you think that a simple apology can make up for your mistakes back then? You can never repay what you owe me and my mother!"
I stood aside, listening to Mr. Zhao's accusation, with mixed feelings in my heart. I didn't expect that behind this seemingly simple business game, there was such a complicated emotional entanglement. Mr. Zhao's anger and pain shocked me, and Mr. Li's silence and guilt also made me feel a little sympathetic.
I couldn't help but look at Jiang Yichen, and found that his expression was still calm, as if all this was within his expectations. He nodded slightly, as if to signal me to stay calm.
At this moment, Mr. Zhao suddenly turned his head and looked at me coldly: "Ms. Gu, I hope you can remember what happened today. The business world is like a battlefield, but some grudges are far more important than interests."
I nodded, but my heart was filled with mixed emotions. This game may have just begun.
Mr. Li took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind. He slowly raised his head, his eyes full of regret and pain: "Xiao Zhao... No, Mr. Zhao, I know it's too late to say anything now. I don't ask you to forgive me, I just hope you can let Ye Huating go. She is innocent, she has never hurt you or your mother."
His voice was low and hoarse, with a little trembling: "If you are willing to let her go, I can give you all the shares of the company, and even leave here and never appear in front of you again. I only ask you to let her go."
Mr. Zhao looked at Mr. Li coldly, his eyes full of complicated emotions. He didn't say anything, just stood there quietly, as if thinking about something.
Mr. Li continued, "I know... I know I owe you too much. But, Mr. Zhao, I really hope you can give me a chance to make up for some of my mistakes. As long as you let Ye Huating go, I am willing to do anything."
Mr. Zhao was silent for a moment, and finally sneered: "Mr. Li, your apology is too late. However, I can consider letting Ye Huating go, but you must agree to one condition of mine."
Mr. Li raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes: "What are the conditions?"
President Zhao said coldly: "From today on, you leave the company and never interfere in any affairs again. At the same time, you must publicly admit your mistakes and apologize to my mother."
Mr. Li was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you."
Just as Mr. Li was about to sign, Jiang Yichen suddenly spoke. His voice was calm and firm: "Mr. Zhao, we can accept your terms, but I have an additional request."
Mr. Zhao frowned, with a hint of caution in his tone: "What's the request?"
Jiang Yichen smiled slightly, his eyes sharp as a knife: "You must promise that from now on, you will no longer threaten or harm Mr. Li and his family in any form. Otherwise, this recording will be immediately handed over to the police."
As he spoke, he took out his phone and played a conversation between Mr. Zhao and Mr. Li. Mr. Zhao's face instantly turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You...you actually recorded it!"
Jiang Yichen put away his phone and said calmly, "Boss Zhao, we have the initiative now. If you don't want this recording to get to the police, you'd better release Ye Huating immediately and keep your promise."
Mr. Zhao's face was uncertain, and it was obvious that he was struggling fiercely. He stared at Jiang Yichen, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness. Finally, he gritted his teeth and whispered, "Okay, you win. I'll let him go!"
"What about Ye Huating?" I couldn't help asking, with a tremor in my voice. I didn't expect that Mr. Li would agree to Mr. Zhao's conditions so quickly. What was Ye Huating all these years? Was she just a tool without emotions?
Mr. Li's face turned even paler in an instant, and his eyes were filled with pain and regret, as if my words had pierced the deepest part of his heart. He murmured in a low voice: "Her? I'm sorry for her too, sorry, sorry, it's all my fault."
His voice became lower and lower, as if he was talking to himself, and he seemed to be in a state of madness. No one understood why he chose to betray the Ye family when they had treated him well for so many years. Without the Ye family, he would not have achieved what he has today.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind: "Gu Mo, I'm sorry, I kept it from you."
I turned around suddenly and saw Ye Huating slowly walking out from behind, with tears on her face, obviously she had just cried. Her eyes were full of complex emotions, guilt, pain, and relief.
"What? You actually know each other? You know Mr. Zhao? You are not hurt?" I looked at her in shock, my heart full of confusion and anxiety.
Ye Huating nodded, her voice low and hoarse: "We know each other, but I never thought things would develop to this point. I heard everything you said just now."
