After Having Everything Taken Away, She Returns As A God

Chapter 835: Regret, Continuing to Wreck Scums (2)

There was no way to explain this now.

LI Yuzhi would show no mercy, saying coldly, “For every time they hit Su Yang, hit them ten times as much.”

Four guards stepped forward, holding down Mr. and Mrs. Bai.

Their screams filled the air.

LI Yuzhi watched without a trace of sympathy.

“Dad! Mom!” Bai Jinxi cried out upon arriving and seeing the scene. She broke down. “Su Yang! We’ve known each other for eighteen years. How can you be so heartless?”

“My parents are old. They didn’t mean to target you back then. You don’t have to do this. Are you really going to erase the last bit of our relationship?”

Su Yang, thoroughly annoyed, responded coldly, “Do you really think I was ever so infatuated with you?”

They had grown up together, indeed as childhood friends.

After the orphanage headmistress passed away, he took care of Bai Jinxi more out of a sense of responsibility.

Bai Jinxi’s eyes widened, her lips trembling. “I don’t believe it… I don’t believe it! You were so good to me. It’s all because of Si Fuqing, right? You must have been deceived by her. She’s nothing but a vixen—”

“You dare to slander Miss Si?” LI Yuzhi’s eyes turned even colder. He raised his hand and slapped Bai Jinxi hard across the face. “Who do you think you are?”

If it weren’t for Si Fuqing, Su Yang might have died in that dark alley.

The mere thought of it stirred a deep-seated fury in LI Yuzhi.

He had restrained himself considerably.

LI Yuzhi’s slap was forceful, causing Bai Jinxi’s head to snap to the side.

She sat on the ground, stunned.

“I don’t want his hands stained with blood, but that doesn’t mean I can’t deal with you,” LI Yuzhi said with disdain. “Drop your little schemes; I see through them clearly.”

“By the way, Su Yang was crippled because of the trouble you caused. I suppose you’d like to experience that yourself.”

Another guard stepped forward. Bai Jinxi had no chance to resist. She felt a sharp pain in her right leg and screamed, her body drenched in cold sweat.

She cast a pleading glance at Su Yang.

But LI Yuzhi shielded him, leaving her with no hope of rescue.

“Sir, it’s done,” the head guard reported. “They hit the First Young Master thirty-two times, so we hit them three hundred and twenty times.”

Mr. and Mrs. Bai were barely conscious.

“That’s enough,” LI Yuzhi said indifferently. “Send them to the hospital. I’ll cover the ambulance fees, but don’t let me see this family again.”

He pulled out a check, filled it with two hundred, and tossed it on the ground.

It was a complete humiliation.

“Let’s go.” LI Yuzhi patted Su Yang’s shoulder gently. “With Dad here, I’ll protect you.”

Su Yang felt warmth well up in his heart. He pressed his lips together and smiled slightly. “Okay.”

The guards followed them out.

An ambulance quickly arrived to take the Bai family away.

**

The news of the Bai family’s ordeal had already reached LI Yanchen.

But he had no time to care.

He wouldn’t clash with LI Yuzhi just for Bai Jinxi.

The most important thing was the LI family’s chairman election.

LI Yanchen had waited a long time for this day.

Saturday morning.

At the LI Group headquarters.

Old Master LI convened a board meeting, and all major shareholders were present.

Second Madam LI initially wasn’t qualified to attend, but because LI Yanchen had just secured a major deal the previous day, making Old Master LI very happy, she was granted permission to enter.

“Recently, both Yuzhi and Yanchen have done well,” Old Master LI said with a smile. “They’ve both secured major deals. As usual, we’ll vote directly.”

LI Yuzhi had won the last election.

But due to Su Yang’s disappearance, the chairman election had been delayed.

Now that he had returned to the LI Group, his authority was still intact.

Soon, the votes for the two candidates appeared on the big screen.

LI Yanchen: 8

LI Yuzhi: 12

The difference wasn’t large, but LI Yuzhi still had the upper hand.

This result was within the elder Li’s expectations.

After all, in terms of overall capability, Li Yuzhi was indeed stronger.

“Grandfather.” At this moment, LI Yanchen raised his hand. “I think we should wait for Mr. Florent before voting.”

Old Master LI’s expression changed. “Mr. Florent is coming?!”

One reason he had been indecisive was because of LI Yanchen’s connection with Florent.

Florent was from the Free State, someone Old Master LI greatly respected.

Florent had an eccentric personality and dealt with few people, but LI Yanchen was one of them.

“Yes.” LI Yanchen was calm and confident. “He’ll be here shortly.”

Three minutes later, Florent entered the meeting room, led by an assistant.

The shareholders greeted him.

“Good day, gentlemen,” Florent nodded slightly. “I’ve worked with President LI several times and greatly appreciate his abilities. I know I can’t influence the LI Group’s chairman election, but from my perspective, I will only collaborate with President LI.”

“If the LI Group’s chairman changes to someone I’m not familiar with, I’m afraid I’ll have to terminate our partnership.”

One shareholder was alarmed. “Mr. Florent, you—”

“Uncle Liu, what are you trying to say?” LI Yanchen said coldly. “My clients are mine to keep. Do you expect me to hand them over?”

The shareholder fell silent.

It was a fact; no one would give up their clients.

Florent smiled faintly, casting a fleeting glance at LI Yuzhi. “So, I only support President LI.”

Although he hadn’t said much or offered any substantial leverage, the vote count immediately shifted.

LI Yanchen: 15

LI Yuzhi: 5

Florent was from the Free State.

Having him as a bridge increased the LI family’s chances of breaking into the Free State.

In this regard, LI Yuzhi couldn’t offer the LI Group the same benefits.

The shareholders naturally knew who to choose.

The five shareholders who still supported LI Yuzhi were old veterans who had built the company with Old Master LI, but they couldn’t change the outcome.

Seeing the vote count, Second Madam LI had finally relaxed after days of anxiety.

Thankfully, LI Yanchen had built up enough foundation and connections over the years, preventing LI Yuzhi from completely seizing power upon his return.

Though they were electing a chairman, it was also about choosing the heir of the LI family.

Now, LI Yuzhi and Su Yang were doomed!

Old Master LI could protect them temporarily, but could he do so forever?

Without power, what good were LI Yuzhi’s abilities?

Ten minutes passed, and the vote count remained 15:5.

“Grandfather,” LI Yanchen broke the silence. “Isn’t it time to announce the result?”

He acknowledged that LI Yuzhi’s talents surpassed his and that he had hidden his strength for years. But in terms of connections, LI Yuzhi was still lacking.

Once he took the chairman’s position, he would see how arrogant LI Yuzhi and Su Yang could be!

He would avenge for his dad.

Old Master LI fell silent.

After a long pause, he sighed and said, “According to the LI family’s rules, the next chairman of the LI Group will be LI—”

Su Yang, looking at his phone, suddenly spoke up, “So, we just need to find connections in the Free State?”

“Just?” Second Madam LI couldn’t hold back her derision. “Do you even know what you’re talking about?”

Did he think connections in the Free State were as common as cabbages?

Even convincing Florent had required significant resources from LI Yanchen.

What could a singer like Su Yang do?

Old Master LI frowned. “Su Yang, you—”

“Yes, I have someone.” Su Yang said calmly, without any emotions shown. “Please wait five minutes, Grandfather. They have arrived.”
