"Isn't Tang Xiaobao just a farmer's son? Why can't he afford to offend him?"
"Yeah, can't we handle this matter with our Li family's connections?"
"That's right. Tang Xiaobao's information has been investigated long ago. He doesn't have any relatives or friends in government positions."
"Yeah, this is all over the Internet..."
Everyone was talking at once.
Li Zhonghua said anxiously, "Don't interrupt, Zhongming, just continue."
Li Zhongming said, "The problem isn't with Tang Xiaobao, but with another woman. The woman in those nude photos Li Feng took is called Zheng Wen."
"Ah, what's the matter?" Li Zhonghua asked, "She and Tang Xiaobao were very close. Maybe they already had this kind of relationship."
"Do you know where Zheng Wen is from?" Li Zhongming smiled bitterly.
Li Zhonghua was stunned: "Where is it from?"
"Jiangnan City."
"Jiangnan City?" Li Zhonghua frowned and thought for a moment, then his expression suddenly changed. "She, she can't be from the Jiangnan Zheng family, right?"
Li Zhongming smiled bitterly. "What a coincidence! She really is the eldest daughter of the Zheng family and is quite favored by the family. Li Feng's arrest was entirely due to the Zheng family finding someone higher up. Li Feng was also too careless. The police have now obtained testimony, and the two people involved in the case have also agreed to testify in court. Things are going to be difficult."
"What, Jiangnan Zheng family?"
"The Four Great Families of Jiangnan?"
"This is bad. Li Feng is in big trouble."
"Why did Li Feng do this without checking everything beforehand? He's going to kill people."
"So what if they are the four great families in Jiangnan? Why do they have such wide reach?"
"Things are really troublesome. We have become mortal enemies with the Zheng family."
…
Everyone was talking at once, each holding their own opinion.
Li Zhonghua slammed the coffee table and yelled, "Shut up, everyone."
Everyone quieted down.
Li Zhonghua frowned and asked Li Zhongming, "Second brother, how can the Zheng family have such great power?"
"It is said that the Kong family has also come forward to make arrangements this time, and no one dares to interfere in this matter anymore." Li Zhongming said.
Li Zhonghua's face turned even uglier. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if the charges are proven, it's not a serious crime. At most, I can apologize in the newspaper and clarify the facts. I won't be sentenced, right?"
"That's hard to say. I heard they're still investigating whether Li Feng had done anything wrong in the past." Li Zhongming sighed. "That's what I'm most worried about. Yanjing is so small, and Li Feng has always been so bold and reckless. I've tried to persuade you many times, but you just won't listen. What do you think they can find out this time?"
Suddenly, Li Zhonghua's face turned pale.
It's just defamation, which is not a serious crime.
But if we check the past, we will find that Li Feng once got a female student pregnant when he was in high school, which caused quite a stir, and he later took money to do it privately.
Once this matter is exposed, there will be big trouble.
This is just one of them. The young men in Yanjing have all done some illegal things, especially those between men and women. Young people have no restraint and poor control. They often only seek momentary pleasure without considering the consequences, so abortion is very common.
Everyone in the Li family was depressed.
Li Zhongming continued: "Now we have to find a way to remedy the situation."
Li Zhonghua said bitterly: "How can we remedy this?"
"It's better to resolve a feud than to make it. I've thought about it and I think we have to find a breakthrough from Tang Xiaobao in this matter." Li Zhongming said.
Li Zhonghua had always admired his cousin. He felt that Li Zhongming had been extremely intelligent since childhood and was a military strategist among his peers. A glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes, and he quickly said, "Tang Xiaobao? What use can he have? Explain clearly."
Li Mingzhong said, "Tang Xiaobao and Zheng Wen have a special relationship. If Tang Xiaobao comes forward to find Zheng Wen and wants to settle this matter privately, everything will be easier."
"Does he really have the face to do this?" Li Zhonghua asked doubtfully, "We have offended the Zheng family so much this time, will the Zheng family give him face?"
"Don't forget, the person who has the most say in how to deal with this matter is of course Zheng Wen. If Tang Xiaobao asks Zheng Wen to plead, Zheng Wen will definitely agree." Li Zhongming said.
Li Zhonghua nodded and said, "Yes, your analysis makes sense, but—we've really offended Tang Xiaobao this time. He's probably hoping your nephew will be sentenced to jail. How could he possibly intercede for us?"
"There's one thing I haven't told you yet. Our branch office in Jiangnan City has been ostracized and suppressed by unidentified businesses over the past two days. We've even had some authorities deliberately making things difficult for us. This suggests the Zheng family will retaliate against us through commercial means. Therefore, we must resolve this matter as soon as possible." Li Zhongming thought for a moment and said, "As for Tang Xiaobao, I believe he's not a completely different person. Everyone has weaknesses. As long as you can identify his weaknesses and prescribe the right remedies, you'll definitely be able to take him down."
"Weakness?" Li Zhonghua said to himself.
"That guy is just a money-grubber." Li Zhonghua's wife interjected.
Li Zhonghua's eyes lit up: "Yes, this guy loves money."
Li Zhongming said, "This is consistent with his status. As a farmer's son, it's normal for him to love money. It seems that we need to spend some money to appease his hatred."
"But this guy is too greedy for money." Li Zhonghua said with some pain: "Last time, in order to cure your sister-in-law's illness, he extorted 200 million from me."
"What? Two hundred million?"
“Isn’t this too dark?”
"Is this still a human? Such a huge appetite!"
"How much will it cost us?"
"We have to spend the money no matter how much it costs. Now we are asking for help."
Li Zhongming said, "That's right. We have to spend whatever it takes, but we'd better spend as little as possible. We don't need this little money. As long as we can calm the Zheng family's anger, we can earn the money back."
Li Zhonghua nodded: "You are right, why don't you and I go find him together."
"OK."
…
The Li family indeed found Tang Xiaobao.
The two sides met in a cafe.
"Mr. Tang, what would you like to drink?" Li Zhongming asked with a smile.
Tang Xiaobao said casually: "Iced black tea."
Li Zhongming was stunned.
The waiter was also dumbfounded.
This coffee shop is very famous in Yanjing. It is a high-end place. It has all kinds of coffee and some high-end drinks, but there is no iced black tea.
Come to the cafe for iced tea?
The waiter glanced at Tang Xiaobao with some contempt in his heart.
Tang Xiaobao sneered in his heart.
Humph, Master Tang is not so easy to serve.
"I'm sorry, sir, we don't have iced tea here. Could you please offer something else?" The waiter was very polite and courteous.
Tang Xiaofu looked at the list and finally curled his lips: "But I just want to drink iced black tea."
