Seeing that Li Daocheng was truly angry, Sun Lan was slightly taken aback.
He quickly realized what he meant, his expression changed, and he softened his posture and said with a smile, "Daocheng, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I just couldn't bear to see you being manipulated by that bitch Li Ruo, so I blurted out the wrong thing."
As she spoke, she quickly stepped forward, gently took Li Daocheng's arm, and helped him calm his chest: "Don't be angry with me..."
After all, no matter what, she still has to rely on Li Daocheng.
She can't fall out with the other party until things reach the worst point!
Hearing this, the anger on Li Daocheng's face subsided somewhat. He took a deep breath and waved his hand lightly, saying, "It's alright."
Seeing that Li Daocheng's emotions had finally calmed down, Sun Lan rolled her eyes and quickly stepped forward to press her advantage, saying, "Daocheng, you really misunderstood me just now. I didn't mean to force you to be a beast who wouldn't even spare his own flesh and blood..."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Li Daocheng couldn't help but cast a warning glance at Sun Lan again.
Realizing she had misspoke, Sun Lan quickly blinked and corrected herself, "I... I meant, it's not that we want to kill Li Ruo, but since she deliberately came looking for death, she shouldn't blame us for being ruthless!"
Although these words conveyed a similar meaning as before, this change in perspective clearly made Li Daocheng waver, and his expression was no longer as serious as before.
After all, Sun Lan was right about one thing: Li Ruo was indeed blocking their way!
Seeing this, Sun Lan felt hopeful and her eyes lit up. She quickly added, "Think about it, now that that bitch Li Ruo can threaten you with what happened back then, it means she already knows something and might even have some evidence."
Her words weren't unfounded; she and Wen Changfeng had been completely fooled by that wretched girl.
Her regard for Li Ruo increased even more!
This girl is definitely not as simple as you might think.
"Even if you bring her down and kick her out of the company, you still can't guarantee that she won't expose things at any time. Why do you need to keep such a ticking time bomb by your side?"
Seemingly finding some truth in those words, Li Daocheng nodded involuntarily.
But at this moment, he still frowned and remained silent.
He always felt that although Li Ruo had made mistakes, her crimes did not warrant death.
Sometimes, living is more agonizing than dying.
However, Sun Lan couldn't wait any longer. Seeing that Li Daocheng hadn't made a statement, she couldn't help but feel anxious: "Daocheng, we've come this far with great difficulty. Do you really want to watch Li Ruo trample us underfoot step by step? You want to let her go, but she's never wanted to let us go. Now, only by eliminating the root of the problem can we bury the secrets of that year forever. Moreover, we can take the opportunity to take back the company without lifting a finger. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"
After she finished speaking, she raised her head slightly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
This was the best method she could think of!
Once and for all!
It gets rid of the troublesome person without revealing anything...
However, Sun Lan did not expect that she had already said so much.
Li Daocheng remained rooted to the spot, silent.
"If you don't make a decision soon, our whole family will just have to wait to die!"
Her face turned cold, and she suddenly raised her voice.
Upon hearing this, Li Daocheng, who was still pondering, involuntarily trembled.
Although he didn't want to face it, he still had to admit it when he thought of Li Ruo's indifferent appearance today.
This girl probably already hates him to the core!
Meeting Sun Lan's vicious gaze, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Then let's do as you say."
After all, compared to his own interests, his remaining conscience was utterly insignificant!
...
At the same time, Li Ruo, who was handling matters at the company, was completely unaware of the two people's scheme.
At this moment, she stared blankly at the mountain of documents piled up in front of her.
"How... can there be so many?"
Although she had prepared herself mentally before taking over, knowing that the Li family's projects were a mess, she was still surprised to find after seeing it in person today that the company was seriously experiencing an imbalance between income and expenditure.
If it weren't for the support of the Fu family, we would probably have gone bankrupt long ago.
Looking at the mess of debts laid out before her, Li Ruo frowned in annoyance and immediately called in the company's vice president.
As soon as the vice president entered, he saw Li Ruo's gloomy face. Even from several meters away, he could feel her anger.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but tremble, and stood pressed against the door, not daring to enter: "President, you called me, is there something you need?"
The new broom sweeps clean, and especially after witnessing Li Ruo kick out the Li family, the people in the company became even more cautious in their actions.
After all, she can even deal with her own family, so she'll only be more ruthless to others.
However, the scolding the vice president had imagined did not come as expected. Instead, he was met with a sneer from Li Ruo.
"I'm not going to eat you, so why are you standing so far away from me? Come over and talk to me."
