"Qing Ye." Xiao Li stood up.

With a calm and collected expression, Li Shi Qing glanced at Han Jia then at Qi Xiu Yuan before he snorted, "Come out and talk."

Xiao Li watched as he turned around and walked out of the room, then he quickly turned and whispered, "Stay here and don't go out. This is our business." As he looked at him with an unsettling feeling, he added, "If you follow me, it'll only make it harder for me."

After saying that, he faced the door and was about to walk out when Qi Xiu Yuan reached out, grabbed his arm and anxiously asked, "Is that your boss? The one that you spoke of before? Isn't he——"

Xiao Li felt a shock of electricity as he shook his hand away and sighed, "It has nothing to do with you."

He did not look at Qi Xiu Yuan's expression. Without saying anything else, he walked out and saw Li Shi Qing standing not too far away. His bodyguard was standing near the entrance of the corridor as if to block anyone else from going over.

Xiao Li went over and slightly bowed. "Qing Ye."

Bang!

Li Shi Qing smacked him across the face.

When Li Shi Qing was young, he was also a very fierce and ruthless person. Now that he was raging with anger, this smack was laced with such power that Xiao Li was unable to withstand it, causing him to draw back two steps.

Li Shi Qing followed close after. His right hand clamped down on Xiao Li's chin as he gritted his teeth in anger.

"I've really spoiled you!"

Xiao Li lowered his eyes.

Li Shi Qing's right thumb pressed firmly on his lips. He groaned, "Giving Han Jia as compensation was the result of my agreement with Lu Wu. Despite everything, you're forcing Lu Wu and I to become hostile toward each other by running there on your own to save him.

With his finger pressed on his lips, Xiao Li did not dare to speak.

Li Shi Qing stared at him straight in the eyes and coldly said, "You saved him with such style and created such a huge commotion. By now, the whole province already knows you've cause Luo Dong's place to explode. All you've done was to save a person that will die!"

Xiao Li frowned. A sign of sadness painted its way onto his face.

Li Shi Qing laughed grimly and released his chin, then he slowly said, "I was still afraid Han Jia would get killed by Luo Dong so I personally requested Lu Wu to keep an eye on him. After a while, Dong's anger will eventually go away. No matter what kind of condition he was in, you will get him back. But you, you've never thought of how things would end for me!"

Xiao Li lowered his head in silent and did not say anything for a long while.

"Why aren't you talking?" Li Shi Qing lashed out, "Or could it be you think that you haven't done anything wrong?!"

"Qing Ye," Xiao Li finally spoke in a low voice, "I can't do that to Han Jia......"

Li Shi Qing snorted, "How many years did it take you to become a leader? Don't tell me you've never sacrificed anyone before? So, what if you have a great relationship with Han Jia? In the underworld, if you don't have a cruel heart, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for you!"

Once again, Xiao Li became silent. Li Shi Qing looked at him for a while, then sighed, his tone of voice seemed to have eased a bit: "I can't do anything if you're like this." He reached out and touched the red and swollen cheek that was struck by his hand, "I've already let Zi Cheng go and negotiate with Luo Dong. Luo Dong is a crafty and treacherous person. Alone you cannot fight against him. Unexpectedly you were able to escape from him this time, something must've happened for him to let you go. No matter what he has up his sleeves, I've already handed this matter over to Zi Cheng. You have to go back with me."
