"Why? Father, why do you treat me like this? Is there anything about me that makes you unhappy?"

"I am your only son. What does that bitch Li Fuzhen have to do with..."

"Shut up."

The angry Li He awakened the fear deep in his bones, causing Lee Jae-yong to tremble and shut his mouth.

"That's your sister, your own sister, how dare you..."

Li Jianxi was panting. His inner disappointment with his son had reached its peak. No matter how much patience he had, it was completely consumed by his stupid behavior.

"Father, don't do this to me, please... let me go back, I want to go back."

Hearing his son's plea, Li Jianxi's anger gradually subsided, and he softened his heart towards his only son.

"Now is not the time... I have already made an agreement with Fuzhen that she will temporarily take over the position of the new president. The appointment has been approved by the board of directors, and you..."

"No, how can you do this? The president is mine, he is..."

Lee Jae-yong was speechless again. His heavy breathing told him what the consequences would be if he continued speaking.

Now, he is under strict control of security guards and cannot go out or contact the outside world. Even the mobile phone he is using now was just given to him by the security guards. The only person he can rely on is his father Li Jianxi.

If you piss him off, your life will be completely over.

"Very good. It seems that you have learned something from this lesson. At least you have learned when to shut up."

"It's already been decided. There's no going back on it... But I left you an estate overseas. If you want to take back everything that belongs to you and prove your ability... Go ahead. I'll be watching you."

Listening to the dead silent echo on the phone, Lee Jae-yong's fingers gripping the phone gradually tightened, and the anger in his heart accumulated to the extreme bit by bit.

“Ah~”

Bang! The phone smashed against the wall and broke into pieces, flying everywhere. The bodyguard walked forward quietly, took out the card from the pieces, and asked someone to clean up the fragments.

"Vice President, please take a rest. Someone will come to report to you later."

"etc."

Li Zaiyong called the bodyguard and stared at him coldly, "Whose people are you? My father's or that bastard Li Zhenyu's? Aren't you really afraid that one day I will return to Sanxin and tear you all to pieces?"

The bodyguard just nodded and stood there, almost accustomed to such impotent rage.

He has heard the threats countless times these days.

Not to mention how likely these threats are to come true, even if he really returns to Sanxin one day, he will not be able to cover everything with one hand.

What's more, compared to the future, the present is more worthy of concern.

"If you're alright, I'll go out first."

Seeing that he didn't give any instructions, the bodyguard turned around and left, "Help me find a few women. I'm very angry now. You can't do this, let alone this."

The bodyguard hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to follow his orders. The request was not excessive.

Just find a few women. In the free country of America, you can easily get them with money without worrying about getting into trouble.

"Do you have any special requests?"

Hearing the other party's question, Lee Jae-yong looked around and didn't find anything suitable. He lowered his head, untied the leather bag on his waist, rolled it around his palm twice, and swung it hard.

Bang! No one noticed that in the apartment building opposite the hotel, there was a camera vertically positioned from top to bottom through a gap in the seemingly drawn curtains, facing the room where Lee Jae-yong was.

Around the hotel entrance, there were several dirty homeless people sitting. Under their long, dirty hair, a pair of energetic eagle eyes were vigilantly observing the surroundings and keeping an eye on the guests entering and leaving the hotel entrance.

…

Li Zhenyu did not guess Kim Ji-yeon's little thoughts. There were too many things happening during this period of time, so he did not notice the subtle changes in the other person's expression.

At the end of the coastal highway, Li Zhenyu steered the car onto a weed-covered gravel path. The lush trees made the atmosphere seem a little tense.

After turning the bend ahead, a secluded and deserted mudflat came into view. Near the foot of the mountain, there was a leaky tin house that looked like a warehouse used to store goods a long time ago.

Parking the car at the door, Li Zhenyu got out and walked in, "Captain."

The little man leaning against the door looked a little disheveled. His right shoulder, wrapped in gauze, was still bleeding. His face was bruised and swollen, and there were several scratches of varying depths on both sides of his neck.

"Thanks for your hard work."

"He's in there, and the body is in there too."

The short man led him to the warehouse and lifted a piece of plastic sheet hanging on the iron railing. A man with his limbs pierced by iron nails and hanging in the air with four iron chains, half dead, came into his sight.

Hearing someone coming, the man who was dying from excessive blood loss opened his cloudy eyes and said, "Ho, ho, ho..."

His dry throat made it impossible for him to utter a single sound.

"water."

As soon as Li Zhenyu stretched out his hand, the little man handed him the water in the corner.

After unscrewing the bottle cap, Li Zhenyu walked over to the other person and fed him the liquid himself. The little guy stood on the other side, his muscles in his limbs tense, his body slightly leaning forward, ready to attack at any time.

"Don't worry, Doc. He won't do anything to me."

"Well, that's not necessarily true. You are no longer my captain."

After screwing the bottle cap on and throwing it to the little guy, Li Zhenyu smiled coldly, "Why, what did I do wrong, Hawkeye, Captain Xu?"

"You gave up on us first."

Hawkeye hated him for leaving without saying goodbye, and hated him even more for abandoning him.

After retiring from the army, each of them had an unhappy life, but only the doctor won his favor and was called back to his side.

Others are either struggling in pain or are poor and destitute, unable to integrate into normal life and living in darkness every day.

“…”

Li Zhenyu didn't expect the answer to be like this.

In his memory, they all longed to return to society and live a normal life.

He asked the doctor to come only because he was alone and had no worries, and he didn't want to disturb the peaceful life that others longed for.

I didn't expect the ending to be like this.

"I……"

Li Zhenyu wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to start. What had happened had already happened, and no amount of explanation could change it.

"The doctor shouldn't have done this to you... Rest in peace."

Li Zhenyu patted him on the shoulder and walked back the way he came with mixed feelings.

Xiu~ The sound of a silenced gunshot reached his ears, and Li Zhenyu silently took out a cigarette box and lit one for himself.

By the time the doctor finished dealing with the follow-up, he stood beside him with the cigarette in his hand already burned out.

"Have one."

Holding a cigarette, the two men stood side by side in front of the abandoned warehouse, gazing at the sea and sky in the distance.

The scenery here is so beautiful! (End of this chapter)
