Li Qinghao was so frightened that his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground: "Grandpa, I..."
"You worthless wretch!" Old Master Li slammed his cane down, breathless with rage. "Is this the mess you've made? You've utterly disappointed me!"
Li Zhanting clearly saw the hatred in Old Master Li's eyes, and a mocking sneer appeared on his lips.
Although Old Master Li wished Li Zhanting were dead, what he valued most was his reputation.
He blamed Li Qinghao for not doing things perfectly, not for using such despicable methods to help his son fight for the position of heir.
Thinking of this, Li Zhanting's deep eyes narrowed, as if hiding a lot of helplessness and pain.
My grandfather wasn't like this at all before...
Li Zhanting took a step forward, his imposing figure shielding Gu Momo and Gu Jingxing behind him:
"You lost your bet. Shouldn't you keep your promise now? Hmm?"
A light, airy voice came from above, but Li Qinghao felt as if it were a demonic sound drifting from hell.
Upon hearing this, Li Mingde immediately stood up abruptly. "Li Zhanting! Don't go too far! It's just a competition, a game, but you actually took it seriously? Besides, the selection of the future heir of the Li family is directly related to the life and death of the Li family. When did it become something that can be decided by just one competition? You are treating the selection of the Li family's heir as a child's play!"
"Child's play?" Li Zhanting's cold eyes turned to Li Mingde, his gaze as if he were looking at a dead man.
"You just made a bet that left my son a way out? You sent someone to duel with my son, and you say that's leaving my son a way out? Li Mingde, this man just likes to be unreasonable. I only trust power and strength."
As he spoke, he suddenly swung his large hand.
Dozens of bodyguards rushed over and swiftly pinned Li Qinghao to the ground.
The sight terrified the guests, who quickly retreated. Li Qinghao let out a pig-like scream: "Li Zhanting! What are you doing!"
Li Zhanting looked down at Li Qinghao with a cold smile on his lips. "Now you only have two choices: either kneel down and kowtow to my son to admit your mistake and give up 50% of the shares, or... cripple your hands!"
Li Mingde immediately flew into a rage: "Li Zhanting! How dare you!!!"
"Guards!!!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than dozens of agile assassins suddenly emerged from the shadows and immediately surrounded Li Zhanting and his group.
These people have clearly undergone special training; their movements and speed are highly skilled, and they are obviously seasoned veterans.
The guests were so frightened that they screamed and ran away, "Ah—"
They just attended the banquet, how could they encounter something like this?!
Li Zhanting and Gu Momo were surrounded. Gu Momo stared at Li Zhanting with a forced smile, "Looks like traveling with Master Ting requires being prepared to pay the price with your life?"
He complained with a smile, but in his heart he was happily shouting:
Let's fight! Let's fight already!
Hearing her voice, Li Zhanting's mood improved considerably. He couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, I'm going to cherish you like a precious gem. How could I bear to see you get hurt?"
Gu Momo: "..."
Li Zhanting, speak properly to me!
The way you're talking is so irritating!
As soon as Li Zhanting finished speaking, the assassins, who had just been so imposing, froze. They felt something sharp pressing against their backs, a familiar sensation... a gun.
Li Mingde felt a jolt in his head and was so shocked he almost fell over!
Behind the assassins he had sent, guests had appeared at some point.
Those people were dressed as guests, but in reality, they were subordinates that Li Zhanting had planted among the guests long ago.
He was prepared, but Li Zhanting seemed to have anticipated their preparations long ago!
Li Zhanting put his hands in his pockets and chuckled softly, "What, Second Uncle, do you still want to argue with me now? If your son Li Qinghao doesn't keep his promise today, his hand... might really be ruined here."
Li Mingde and Li Qinghao were seething with hatred, but they had witnessed Li Zhanting's cold-blooded methods five years ago.
Li Zhanting is a man of his word, and he shows absolutely no mercy...
Forced into a corner, Li Qinghao could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine! I'll kneel!"
You can lose your dignity, but if you lose your hands, you'll never be able to make a comeback!
Gu Jingxing smiled sweetly on his innocent face, "Uncle, you have to kneel properly, okay? I won't like it if you don't kneel properly, and I might make you kneel again."
Li Qinghao was so angry he wanted to bite his teeth, but he still knelt down with a thud.
He will remember this hatred!
Li Zhanting frowned, "And there's the share transfer agreement!"
Forced into a corner, Li Qinghao could only wave his hand forcefully, "Send someone to retrieve it immediately!"
He originally planned to use this banquet to deal with Li Zhanting and Li Zixiao, but now he has paid a heavy price for it.
How could that not make him angry!
Fifty percent of the shares—that nearly cost him his life!
Over there, Li Zhanting was busy dealing with Li Qinghao and Li Mingde, while Gu Momo, munching on sunflower seeds, watched the spectacle with a mischievous grin. "Jingxing, how did you know that the child was disguised?"
Gu Jingxing tilted his head and answered seriously, "I sneaked in just now and guessed they might be up to something bad, so I deliberately hacked into their surveillance video and saw it..."
Gu Momo's eyes were full of doting affection. She cupped Gu Jingxing's face in her hands and generously gave her precious little darling a loving kiss!
"Baby, you're so smart! Mommy loves you to death!"
Gu Jingxing's face flushed slightly from his mother's kiss, and he couldn't resist tiptoeing to give Gu Momo a kiss on the cheek as well.
"Mommy, Jingxing loves you the most too!"
Not far away, Li Zhanting was about to take another look at Gu Momo, but when he turned his head, he saw the loving scene between the mother and son, and he felt so jealous that his teeth almost fell out.
These are his wife and son, why doesn't he give them a loving kiss?
The hall was in complete chaos. Just then, a middle-aged man in a black suit, led by the butler, hurried toward the hall from a distance.
The person led in by the butler was none other than Mr. Canran from the Imperial Medical Association.
From afar, Mr. Canran saw Gu Momo's face, and the image of the Imperial Medical Association's medicinal herbs being completely emptied flashed through his mind, instantly causing his blood to surge.
He clenched his fists tightly, his gaze fixed on Gu Momo:
"Butler! Is that person Gu Momo?!"
