Chapter 1239: Chapter 1239
In the dead of night, a nanny van stopped at the hotel entrance.
The car door opened, and the weary Li Fengnian stepped out with Shen Shiyao.
"Where are you going?"
Just as they stepped out of the elevator, he called out to Shen Shiyao, who was about to leave.
"Of course, I’m going to see Yifan, Uncle. You already promised not to interfere with me and him, are you planning to go back on your word?"
Shen Shiyao pouted and said.
Upon learning the ins and outs of the matter, she just wanted to see Lin Yifan as soon as possible.
"Come to the office with me first."
Li Fengnian didn’t mention Lin Yifan, only saying it in a commanding tone.
"I’m not your employee, why should I do overtime with you? Let’s talk tomorrow if there’s anything."
Shen Shiyao wasn’t having any of it and was about to leave while speaking.
"Your second uncle is waiting for you."
Li Fengnian’s words caused Shen Shiyao to lower the foot she had lifted.
She slowly turned around, staring at her uncle in disbelief.
"Don’t use second uncle to pressure me...I’m not afraid."
Although she sounded defiant, Shen Shiyao obediently stopped.
Li Fengnian didn’t say anything more and started walking towards the office.
As he pushed the office door open, Li Fengrun was sitting in the executive chair.
One hand was playing with two iron balls, while the other kept stroking the small mustache under his nose.
This was his habit when thinking.
"Second uncle, have you really come back?"
Shen Shiyao couldn’t believe her eyes as she leaned at the door and looked at her second uncle.
She hadn’t expected her nemesis to have returned.
"Haven’t seen your second uncle for so long, aren’t you coming in? What are you waiting for?"
The Li Family had such a big incident, yet Li Fengchun was laughing carefreely.
The relaxed appearance made Shen Shiyao’s heart tremble with fear.
She knew, the happier second uncle smiled, the more significant the matter behind it.
Thus, she could only walk in nervously.
"Brother, how’s the construction site issue handled?"
Ignoring the color-changing expression on Shen Shiyao’s face, Li Fengchun asked.
"The entire tunnel completely collapsed, fortunately, Master Zhang had the workers evacuated beforehand; only some equipment was buried. Not a single worker was injured. I have already contacted the survey team, and they are coming over tomorrow, striving to re-survey within half a month so that construction can resume a month later."
Li Fengnian explained the situation.
Feeling the timing was right, Shen Shiyao also spoke up to claim credit.
"Master Zhang only helped because of Lin Yifan. Not a single worker was hurt this time, sparing the Li Family from serious financial loss. Second uncle, this is Lin Yifan’s contribution; don’t forget it."
"It seems Master Zhang indeed has some capabilities."
Li Fengchun pondered and said.
"In recent years, Master Zhang has often guided me. But this time, despite foreseeing such a significant issue, he didn’t notify in advance. Whether he did it for that kid or if it was just the Li Family’s fate."
Li Fengnian said with a somber face.
"Since someone can glimpse heavenly secrets, it’s natural to keep an ace up the sleeve, otherwise it would be too sinful. Consider this as spending money to avoid disaster. Hei Hu, prepare some generous gifts tomorrow as a thank you."
While Li Fengchun said this, his face showed no hint of happiness.
Hei Hu, sitting on the sofa, merely nodded without speaking.
He knew what Li Fengchun meant.
"Second uncle, Lin Yifan also made a contribution, you..."
Shen Shiyao didn’t understand the implications, worried that second uncle would forget Lin Yifan, she quickly reminded him.
But before she finished speaking, Li Fengnian interrupted.
"Brother, Master Zhang has helped our family a lot over the years. My major projects have had his guidance; though it’s a transaction, there is a debt of gratitude. Let me handle the thank-you personally."
Li Fengnian had understood that Li Fengchun intended to kill.
So he hurriedly offered comfort.
"Brother, why are you so soft-hearted, no wonder you can’t achieve big things. If a master can’t be used by us and later becomes someone else’s ally, they might turn into an enemy. By then, you’ll be something they can easily squash. As you said, it was business; a deal has buying and selling. The money was paid, and the job must be done. If refused, such people must be eliminated."
Li Fengchun’s eyes gleamed with a murderous intent.
"Second uncle, how can you be so unreasonable? He already helped evacuate the workers. If people had died, it wouldn’t just be about compensation money; the Li Family’s company would be shut down. He helped you so much, not only without gratitude, why would you want to kill? It’s too unreasonable."
Shen Shiyao shouted, frustrated and furious.
Obviously, this time, Master Zhang acted to help Lin Yifan.
"Those who accomplish great things don’t bother with trivialities. Leave such business matters alone. Also, your mother told me that you’re here to gain experience, not to suffer hardships. The school conditions in the village are too poor."
Li Fengchun spoke coldly.
"Second uncle, you’re interfering with Lin Yifan and me too?"
Shen Shiting looked at her second uncle with grievance.
Wasn’t he trying to separate the two of them?
"Shiyao, you should know that marriage is not something you can decide. You two belong to different worlds. If you don’t want him to get into trouble, it’s best not to see him again, or you’ll only harm him."
Li Fengchun’s undebatable tone made Shen Shiyao’s tears fall like rain.
"Second uncle, I beg you...don’t tear us apart. I really love him."
Shen Shiyao clutched Li Fengchun’s arm, begging bitterly.
"I’m also doing this for your own good. Even if you hate me for a lifetime, I must manage this matter. You also know, your grandfather’s health is declining day by day; your uncles and elders are fighting for family control. Your father is already very tired, so don’t add more trouble for him."
Li Fengchun held Shen Shiyao’s hand, sighing.
"When I came back, your mother mentioned that your marriage alliance with the Tang Family in Shangjing is very important. Tang Zhimao is reputed as one of Shangjing’s four young masters, handsome and well-educated. If you can marry into the Tang Family now, it would greatly assist your father. Shiyao, you’re grown now, you must be sensible."
"If you all want to fight, go ahead and fight. Why ruin my life? I don’t care if he’s Tang Zhimao or Zhao Zhimao; it has nothing to do with me. In this life, I will marry no one but Lin Yifan!"
Shen Shiyao forcefully shook off her second uncle’s hand.
In her grievance, she shouted bitterly.
"Shiyao, since you insist, I have no choice. Since you won’t listen, let me help you make a decision."
Li Fengchun said with a sullen face, giving Hei Hu sitting on the sofa a signal.
The latter instantly understood, stood up, and pulled out a dagger from his back.
He started stepping towards the outside.
"Second uncle, don’t do this!"
Shen Shiyao immediately realized, urgently begging aloud.
"Will you listen to your second uncle?"
Li Fengchun called back Hei Hu, then turned to face Shen Shiyao again.
"I will listen...I will listen...I beg you, let me say goodbye to him, see him one last time!"
