"I told him a long time ago that I shouldn't have called you in... But it's okay, I didn't insult the team's number."
Having said all that needed to be said, the man grasped the bone saw and aimed it at his ankle. The next second, he straightened his arm and swung it backwards, then turned 180 degrees on the spot to face the concrete wall.
The bone saw did not feel the desired obstruction, and the man stopped moving in disappointment, staring ahead with his eyes narrowed.
Faint ripples slowly appeared in the shadows under the wall. A short man in a black vest and camouflage pants walked into the light and looked up, revealing the cold face of a passerby.
"doctor."
"Hawkeye."
…
…
At the same time, in the Itaewon branch at the foot of Namsan Mountain.
Li Fuzhen was sitting in the car looking at the front door, thinking about a question with a flickering gaze, 'Why did my father ask me to come here?'
He wants to put me under house arrest, or use threats and inducements, or try to convince me with emotional and logical appeals.
Moreover, he rarely showed his weak side and asked me not to tell anyone about it.
Li Fuzhen was indeed moved by him. Listening to her father, who had been tough all his life, begging her on the phone, the expected happiness did not appear.
Instead, I feel inexplicably sad and heartbroken. Did my father, who was once like heaven, eventually lose to time? No matter how strong a person is, he still cannot resist the erosion of time.
So, she came as promised.
But when she reached the door, Li Fuzhen couldn't help but start to worry about her situation.
After repeated consideration, she decided to keep her promise out of trust in family affection, or it could be said that it was her last extravagant hope.
I hope my father really wants to talk to me as a father and daughter as he said on the phone.
But she also needs to be prepared to avoid losing all her advantages due to carelessness.
"Wait for me here. If you don't see me get in the car in an hour, call Secretary Cui Minhao. He will know what to do."
"yes."
"Even if I personally give you the order, unless you are alone in the car, you must pretend that you didn't hear it. Call Cui Minhao and listen carefully."
"Yes, President, you have to go back to the car and give the order in person. Otherwise, call Secretary Cui in an hour."
After receiving such a clear answer, Li Fuzhen got out of the car with confidence and pressed the headset, "Secretary Cui, it's me..."
He told Choi Min-ho about the situation and told him that if he did not receive a reply from both himself and the driver after an hour, he should call Lee Jin-woo immediately.
"President, isn't this too risky? What if President Li Zhenyu... has something wrong?"
"He will know what to do. Right now, no one is more trustworthy than him."
At this time, Li Fuzhen had already entered the door. She hung up the phone, took off her headphones and put them into her handbag.
"Miss."
Mrs. Jiang, the housekeeper, was waiting at the end of the cobblestone path, bowing in greeting and waving for the servant to take her purse.
Then, two more people used scanners to make sure she didn't have any electronic devices on her.
"The president is waiting for you."
After confirming that everything was correct, Ms. Jiang took her into the house. The hall on the first floor was empty, with a wide staircase at the end, and double doors extending to both sides.
"After the president came back, he kept talking about your past, how clingy you were when you were a child, how you were the smartest kid in the family, how you did well in school, how likable you were, and how you knew how to read people's expressions..."
Ms. Jiang led the way in small steps, talking all the time about herself.
Li Fuzhen just listened quietly without any response, and Ms. Jiang did not expect a response from her.
After all, as a butler, I am Chairman Li's man.
Perhaps, in her heart, she must also "eradicate" it! Ms. Jiang is not worried about this. She asked herself that she had done nothing wrong at home over the years and everything was in accordance with the president's instructions.
Even if they were liquidated, they would probably just lose a job and some money.
After knocking on the door, Ms. Jiang reported to the crack in the door: "President, the young lady is here."
"Let her in."
It was still the same majestic voice, but without the tenderness and weakness on the phone, which reminded her of the memories of being dominated by this fear when she was a child.
At this moment, Li Fuzhen suddenly felt a little regretful that she shouldn't have come here alone.
If Jin-woo was around...
Click~ In a trance, the person was already standing in the room. There was a recliner in front of him, and the familiar figure was lying on it.
When he turned around, the face in my memory looked much older, but the dyed hair on his temples still couldn't hide the new gray hair.
"Father."
Li Fuzhen had mixed feelings, including relief, secret joy, panic, and a hint of reluctance and fear.
"Um."
Li Jianxi did not hide his weakness. His body was no longer what it used to be, and the pain made it difficult for him to even get up.
However, even though the lion king is old, his power still remains.
"Have you had enough of the fuss?"
The initial questioning aroused Li Fuzhen's inner rebellion. Why is it like this?
Who is making trouble? Am I not his child?
He knew very well that he was the best among all the children. He knew it.
"I……"
Li Jianxi's eyes narrowed, suppressing all her words. "Enough of the trouble, prepare to attend the board meeting tomorrow. I will announce my official retirement at the meeting."
"retire?"
Li Fuzhen thought she was hallucinating. What did he mean?
"From now on, Sanxin will be handed over to you."
Li Jian looked at her with a neutral look, "Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted... As for Jae-yong, I will arrange for him to live abroad."
"The children will also leave with him. The overseas family fund belongs to him and no one can touch it."
"In addition, I will revise my will. After my death, all my shares will be passed on to you as the inheritance."
The amount of information was so overwhelming that Li Fuzhen's brain suddenly shut down and she was unable to accept the facts before her.
What on earth was he talking about? He had finally gotten what he had been striving for his entire life.
It's that simple, easy to get.
Why? ! ! Li Fuzhen didn't understand why he suddenly changed so much.
"You...are pregnant."
Hearing this, Li Fuzhen, who was in a trance, came to her senses and said, "Yes."
Li Jianxi wanted to ask whose child it was, but thought it was unnecessary, "The child will take your surname."
"……Yes."
Li Fuzhen didn't understand again. What difference does it make whose surname he has?
Could there be two Li Buchengs?
"You must announce to the public that the child has your last name... Don't introduce the father, no one will ask."
After saying this, the chair turned around again, "That's it, I'm tired, remember not to be late tomorrow." (End of this chapter)
