Chapter 730: Chapter 730: Completely Suppressed and Unable to Breathe
Li Shengxiao’s hawk-like eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced over the rundown man and finally lifted his eyelids, speaking indifferently, “The police should have almost cleared up the incident at the bar involving Mr. Shi.”
Shi Zhongnan’s face suddenly changed, “What do you mean by that, Mr. Li?”
“What I mean is that Mr. Shi’s intelligence is not suited for a career in politics. It would be good for him to go somewhere quiet to calm his mind.”
“Pfft.” Cui Jiangjing couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
Not suited for intelligence, that’s harsh!
Uncertainty flashed across Shi Zhongnan’s face, yet he brought up persistently, “Mr. Li, I’ve looked into the matter, and Mufeng might really have been unaware.”
Isn’t this punishment too severe?
Being barred from a political career was like cutting off one of the Shi Family’s limbs; he knew there would come a day when he would retire due to old age. If Mufeng couldn’t take his place, their family would only gradually decline.
He wouldn’t give up the sole heir of the family unless absolutely necessary!
With a single look, Li Shengxiao cut off any remaining hope for a reversal, “I know he was unaware. Do you think I would let him off if he had been aware, Mayor Shi?”
His voice carried a heavy threat, “He was involved in this matter, and now his legs are already broken!”
Despite being more than twenty years his junior, Shi Zhongnan felt overwhelmed by the other man’s aura, unable to breathe under the oppressive and heart-throbbing pressure.
He knew Li Shengxiao meant business!
If Mufeng had known there was something wrong with the champagne earlier, this man would truly not have shown any mercy and would have straightaway crippled Mufeng’s legs!
Such ruthlessness was something Shi Zhongnan admitted he never possessed, even in his youth.
He quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. After a brief hesitation, he made a decision, “Mr. Li, I am willing to personally apologize to Miss Rong. Is there any chance for Mufeng’s situation to be reconsidered?”
The Mayor of Capital City offering a personal apology meant that Shi Zhongnan was willing to owe Rong Yan a favor, which she could later use to negotiate with him.
But Li Shengxiao didn’t regard his promise as significant. With a cold and imperious demeanor, he simply addressed him to stop him from continuing, “Mayor Shi.”
“This is my final tolerance. If you find it unacceptable, you can choose the previous option.”
He could have someone take Mufeng out right now, break both of his legs, and throw him back in.
Shi Zhongnan’s face turned shades of green, red, and white, changing unpredictably for a long time.
Li Shengxiao’s handsome face remained stern as he continued, “I remember I told you last time who Rong Yan is, and you should remember very well what you said to me back then. It has been less than half a month since Mr. Shi came looking for me at Li Group, and something happened again, Mayor Shi, you must be well aware of it. He might not have known, but can you say this has nothing to do with your son?”
Shi Zhongnan’s mouth tasted bitter as he found himself speechless in response to the man’s aggressive questioning.
Mufeng might not have known about the problem with the champagne, but Rong Weiwei had clearly used him to get into the AQ celebration party. This could be said to have nothing to do with him, but if pressed, it could also be said to be related. It all depended on whether the other party wanted to pursue it. Now, it seemed Li Shengxiao was not going to offer any favors and intended to pursue the matter to the end!
Shi Zhongnan felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest as he looked up at the tall, young man. Li Shengxiao didn’t even bat an eyelash, those hawk-like eyes dark and profound, as if hiding a destructive fire that could annihilate the heavens and earth within them.
