"Alright." Miao Tianxiong had no objections. She thought she would arrange things properly and then take some time to go back to Pingjiang. The people she had arranged to investigate the Li family had not yet replied, so she chatted with Ye Qingqing.
"The New Year is just around the corner, why did you go up the mountain? Was Lu Mo there too?"
"Of course they're here. An'an, Jingjing, and Xiaozhu are all here. Yin Laogui's last disciple has been dealt with. He'll be returning to Pingjiang in a couple of days." Ye Qingqing explained the reason simply, and Miao Tianxiong understood immediately.
When his subordinate's reply arrived, Miao Tianxiong smiled with interest. As expected, Li Hongming, that old fox, was not so easy to kill. Madam Li and those three spendthrift sons were too stupid; even a hundred of them couldn't outwit the dying Li Hongming.
"He's not dead, but his condition isn't good either."
Ye Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and asked in return, "Was it Madam Li who deliberately spread false information?"
“No, it’s all a show put on by Li Hongming himself. It’s hard to explain over the phone. Tell your friend that the Li family is in a mess right now. Since you’ve already distanced yourself, don’t get involved again.” Miao Tianxiong added this for Ye Qingqing’s sake.
Li Hongming did not start from scratch. The Li family has a place in the Hong Kong business world. Li Hongming's grandfather was a business tycoon who built the Li family empire. When the Li family was at its peak, Miao Tianxiang was just the gambling king's mistress. She had nothing to do with the business world in Hong Kong.
But a tiger father raises a dog son. Li Hongming's father was an only son who was good at eating, drinking and having fun, but not good at business. Unfortunately, the old man had no other sons who were capable, so he tried to help his son, Adou, to succeed. But Adou was too disappointing and squandered half of the family fortune, which almost made the old man angry to death.
After that, the old man gave up on his son and devoted himself to raising his grandchildren. Fortunately, his spendthrift son was quite good at having sons, with a total of four grandsons, none of whom resembled their father but rather had the demeanor of their grandfather. Among them, Li Hongming was the one the old man appreciated the most.
So before the old man passed away, he gave most of the company's shares to Li Hongming, while his other three grandsons received stocks and real estate. Even if they did nothing, they could live a life of comfort and ease.
But the three grandsons were not willing to give up. They were not spendthrifts and they also wanted to make a name for themselves. However, the old man would not give them the opportunity. He would only give them money and let them go out to develop their careers, but they could not interfere with the business of the Li Group.
The old man was indeed very wise. He knew that two tigers cannot share one mountain. All four of his grandsons were capable and unwilling to submit to each other. If they were all placed in the company, they would fight each other, and the company would only benefit outsiders. Therefore, he gave the company to Li Hongming, whom he had carefully cultivated, and only gave money to the other three grandsons. His intentions were truly commendable.
However, the three grandsons failed to understand their grandfather's good intentions and engaged in open and covert struggles with Li Hong, unable to even maintain a semblance of politeness.
With Li Hongming in trouble this time, these three families will definitely not sit still. Given the intelligence of Madam Li and Li Hongming's three spendthrift children, how could they possibly protect such a large family business? Therefore, it would be best for Dong Siyue not to get involved in this mess.
Ye Qingqing smiled bitterly, glanced at Dong Siyue who was looking at her expectantly, and shook her head, saying, "I'm afraid she can't do it. She just heard that Li Hongming died and she doesn't want to live anymore. She's deeply in love."
Miao Tianxiong was quite surprised. She never expected that a mistress could have genuine feelings. She thought that mistresses were only after money!
"My friend's situation with Li Hongming is rather special, so I'll hang up now and we can talk again next time."
Ye Qingqing didn't say much about Dong Siyue's private affairs. After hanging up the phone, she smiled at Dong Siyue and said, "Li Hongming is not dead."
