Chapter 725

Playing Around
Translated by Yan of Exiled Rebels Scanlation

Negotiations began anew after Johnson showed up and apologized. The Li family only found out that they were members of White Shark when they saw Johnson. Even though they still suspected that You XiaoMo was possibly someone from the You family, since they all had the surname You, there was no way they wouldn’t have known if someone named You XiaoMo had appeared in the You family.

However, the Li family didn’t nitpick, but the four members of the You family paid less and less attention. They either stared outside or lowered their head, and it seemed as if their thoughts were somewhere else. As a result, the Li family used that to accuse the You family of not respecting them, saying they had no intentions of negotiating in the first place. If things continued like this, it would just be a waste of everybody’s time.

The Li family was like a plague of locusts. They were always sticking their nose in wherever they could. Not only did they want to show that it wasn’t them who didn’t want to talk peace, they also wanted to stand on the side of reason. Their saliva sprayed as they spoke passionately, making it seem as if they were giving some speech. Some of the others frowned faintly when they heard them speak; even if the Li family didn’t really want to negotiate with the You family, there was no need to make it so high-profile!

The You family’s reaction was also very strange. The people who knew them all knew that this family didn’t like to be at the disadvantage. But today, each and every one of them were silent, thinking about something else. Some people felt that something wasn’t quite right, but before they could think of the reason why, Li Hong led the Li family angrily out of the meeting room.

“Everyone is in such a rush to leave. Are you late for something?” At that moment, Ling Xiao suddenly blocked Li Hong’s path. Originally, it was You XiaoMo’s duty to take initiative, but now he was ignoring all of his problems, so it became Ling Xiao’s job.

Li Hong’s face instantly darkened. He said severely, “Move!”

If Ling Xiao listened to him, then Ling Xiao wouldn’t be Ling Xiao anymore. He moved sideways and crossed his arms, glancing at them from the corner of his eyes. “Don’t be so excited. There should be a good show coming up. As one of the directors, shouldn’t you stay behind and see the performance that you personally brought about?”

Li Hong’s expression was ugly, but in his heart, he was actually shocked by Ling Xiao’s words. Ling Xiao knew the truth? Impossible, their plans were clearly perfect. Not even the other families had discovered that something was wrong. He had never seen this man before, so how would this man know the truth? Since his mind was currently in turmoil from his words, some of it even leaked onto his face.

“Nonsense. If you don’t move, don’t blame me for being rude!” In order to avoid other people seeing that something was wrong, Li Hong instantly shouted loudly, trying to conceal it. Unfortunately, Ling Xiao’s voice wasn’t quiet, and everyone else had long since heard it.

Before he even finished speaking, Li Lin, who was standing behind Li Hong, suddenly made a move against Ling Xiao.

Before his father had even given the order, Li Lin tried to do a sneak attack. That behavior immediately seemed quite shameful to the others.

But Li Lin didn’t care. His sharp fingers clawed directly towards Ling Xiao’s chest, assuming a stance that made it look like he wanted to scoop out Ling Xiao’s heart. The hand was extremely vicious, and if it hit, Ling Xiao probably wouldn’t be able to live.

Just when everyone thought they were about to hear Ling Xiao’s scream, there was another shriek, abnormally shrill. Everyone gave a start when they heard it, since the voice actually came from Li Lin. When they looked, they saw that there was a puddle of blood spilled on the floor, as well as a cut-off hand. Li Lin kneeled, face pale, on the ground.
