Chapter 513: Chapter 512: Come in!
He had shouted for Li Minghao to come in just now, in order to cover his own secrets, but Liu Zheng had seen through him.
However, he quickly calmed down because he knew that even though Liu Zheng was the chairman, he had no real power over him, and he himself was the legitimate heir of the Li Family, with a noble status, not fearing him!
Immediately, he stood up, walked to the door, and knocked on the office door, "Ming Hao, come in!"
Li Minghao entered the door and respectfully called out, "Haoyu brother." Then he looked at Liu Zheng and asked, "Dad, did you want to see me for something?"
Liu Zheng gave him a cold look and said, "Li Minghao, don’t you think it’s time for you to give us a reasonable explanation?"
Li Minghao was stunned for a moment, "Dad, I don’t quite understand what you mean."
"Don’t understand? You really can act!" Liu Zheng sneered and then said, "Today’s news reported that you and Li Ming were causing a scene on the roof of the company, fighting and brawling. Do you think I’m unaware?"
Upon hearing this, everyone’s face showed a schadenfreude expression, as if they had already seen the scene where Li Minghao was kicked off the stage by Liu Zheng.
"Aren’t you always so clever? Why are you now so foolish? Let me tell you, today’s incident is not just about Li Minghao being kicked off, but you all will be in trouble too! Because I will show you what happens to those who offend me, Liu Zheng!" Liu Zheng said coldly.
Hearing this, everyone was terrified.
Chen Haoyu hastily said, "Liu Zheng, don’t be too arrogant! I admit what I did before was wrong, but you can’t just wrongly accuse someone, can you? You said Ming Hao offended you, but I didn’t offend you, did I? Besides, I’m also a shareholder of the company, shouldn’t I be securing the chairman position? If I become the chairman, I could ensure everyone’s safety!"
Liu Zheng sneered, "Chen Haoyu, you are so naive! Who do you think you are? Do you think I’m unaware that you previously bought off a bunch of hoodlums in secret, trying to exert pressure on the chairman during the election to pull the chairman off his position? What a pity, you didn’t expect me to launch an attack during the chairmanship election! So your conspiracy was easily unveiled, becoming a laughingstock!"
Chen Haoyu was secretly shocked, not expecting Liu Zheng to know even this matter. It seems he wasn’t making things up; he must have really investigated everything about him; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly know all these things.
Liu Zheng’s words left Chen Haoyu deeply shaken, and he didn’t recover for a long time.
"Chen Haoyu, what are you standing there dazed for? Hurry up and apologize to everyone! If you’re not willing to apologize, that’s fine; you can leave and never set foot in the Li Group again! But I think, even if you leave the Li Group, there won’t be any company that dares to hire you!" Liu Zheng said with a menacing tone.
Chen Haoyu’s face turned pale, and sweat formed on his forehead; his heart was filled with regret and resentment. He had wanted to use Li Minghao’s influence to take Liu Zheng down, but he ended up getting himself in deep trouble!
"President Li, I... I was wrong, I beg you, please pardon me!"
Li Minghao knelt on the ground, crying out in distress, "Liu Zheng, please let Haoyu brother go, I beg you!"
"Get lost! Get the hell out of here!" Liu Zheng roared fiercely.
"Haoyu brother, Haoyu brother, please persuade him to stop causing a fuss, it’s no good for anyone!" Li Minghao pleaded.
Clenching his teeth, Chen Haoyu turned and walked beside Liu Zheng, pleading earnestly, "Si Chen, considering the many years of our friendship, I’m begging you, don’t blow this up, let Ming Hao go. He’s just a child and really isn’t capable of bearing the responsibility!"
Liu Zheng looked at Chen Haoyu with icy eyes, and after a moment of silence, suddenly said, "Chen Haoyu, you should be glad you are a clever man, otherwise, I wouldn’t mind you experiencing the taste of ’outsmarting oneself’!"
Chen Haoyu felt a surge of alarm and hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do? Don’t mess around, Ming Hao is innocent! If you want revenge, just come at me, please don’t hurt him!"
"Ha, Chen Haoyu, you really are too naive! I’m not just looking for revenge, I want you to pay with your life!" Liu Zheng said, each word laced with murderous intent.
Seeing Liu Zheng like this, Chen Haoyu’s pupils shrank violently, and he couldn’t help but shiver. Could this guy be thinking about killing to silence him? He didn’t want to die!
"Dad, no, please, I’m your own son, please don’t kill me, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again..." Li Minghao crawled on his knees to Liu Zheng’s feet, begging.
Liu Zheng snorted coldly, "I had warned you not to provoke Liu Zheng, but you just wouldn’t listen. Now you’ve caused a massive disaster, who else is there to blame?!"
Having said that, Liu Zheng lifted his leg and kicked Li Minghao in the chest, sending him flying away.
Pff--
Li Minghao spat out blood, crashing heavily to the ground, his eyes wide open, his mouth opening and closing, he was already dead!
"Dead? He’s dead?!!!"
The rest of the people present were all shocked by the scene unfolding before them.
Chen Haoyu’s face turned pale, looking completely soulless, standing there like a wooden chicken. He had never imagined that he would be killed by Li Minghao.
Liu Zheng said coldly, "Your beloved son is dead, are you sad?"
Upon hearing Liu Zheng’s question, Chen Haoyu’s mind was immediately filled with one thought—I’m finished! Liu Zheng would surely blame everything on me, and when that time comes, I might be tortured to death or even killed by him.
With these thoughts, cold shivers ran down Chen Haoyu’s spine, and he quickly shook his head, saying, "Si Chen, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have fought with Ming Hao for the company, nor should I have thought about bringing the company down... Please spare my wretched life!"
Chen Haoyu knelt and crawled to Liu Zheng, bowing continuously while uttering his repentance.
Seeing this scene, the others present couldn’t help but feel pity and sympathy for Chen Haoyu.
"What a pity, how could he have such a foolish son? Such a son, even if left alive, would eventually bring about his complete downfall."
"Alas, how did he even become the chairman in the first place!"
"What do you know? I happen to know a little secret! They say that the only reason the chairman helped Chen Haoyu to the throne was not because he was smart or because he was recklessly brave, but because he had a good wife, a beautiful secretary. This secretary had always liked him, which is why he got his wish."
"So that’s how it was. Then I must say I’m quite envious, having such a secretary by his side."
"It’s too bad, in this world, there’s no such thing as a pill for regret, but I feel that Liu Zheng doesn’t deserve any pity, for he indeed was too arrogant and lawless, having offended many people. Now that he’s reaping what he sowed, it seems only fair."
"Exactly, Liu Zheng has brought this upon himself! Did he think he could do whatever he wanted just because he was the chairman? He was also way too naïve. From now on, we better be more cautious and try to avoid dealing with him as much as possible, lest we end up being sold by him and help him count the money..."
These discussions made Chen Haoyu feel even more desperate. He wished he could smash his head against tofu to die—it was like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet. He had lost his wife and his troops and had completely lost any right to the inheritance.
Looking at the painfully stricken Chen Haoyu, Liu Zheng sneered and turned to leave the office.
As Liu Zheng reached the door, Chen Haoyu suddenly called out to him, "Wait a minute!"
Liu Zheng stopped, turned around, and said indifferently, "What else do you want?"
With a bitter smile, Chen Haoyu asked, "Did you just say that you’re going to kill me?"
Liu Zheng replied indifferently, "Yes, I’m going to kill you, for you are the second person I’ve met who is a hundred times, a thousand times more foolish than Li Ming."
