Chapter 330 Settling the Score
"Don't even think about calling for help from the traffic police, they can't save you. If you so much as make a sound, I can kill you on the spot!"
Seeing the traffic police directing traffic in the middle of the intersection, Li Changsheng noticed a change in Zhao Yuxin's expression and couldn't help but threaten her.
Zhao Yuxin didn't speak. As the Maserati sped towards the crossroads, she floored the gas pedal and yanked the steering wheel hard.
"What are you doing, stop the car!"
Li Changsheng's face turned pale, and just as he shouted, the car crashed straight into the green belt.
Bang!
A loud noise erupted.
Even with the airbags deployed, both were shaken up. Li Changsheng was completely incapable of doing anything to Zhao Yuxin.
The situation here instantly caught the attention of the traffic police, who immediately ran over.
Zhao Yuxin was the first to recover. She quickly unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door, and got out of the car.
By the time Li Changsheng came to his senses, Zhao Yuxin had already gotten out of the car, and he had no choice but to follow suit.
"Officer, this man is holding me hostage!"
Zhao Yuxin stumbled toward the traffic police, shouting as she ran.
"Son of a bitch!" Li Changsheng, infuriated by Zhao Yuxin's escape, wanted to chase after her and stab her a few times before the traffic police arrived.
After all, even if he didn't hurt Zhao Yuxin, he couldn't escape now.
It would be better to go all out and leave Zhao Yuxin disabled; being caught by the traffic police after that would be worth it.
However, just as he took a step, a battered Audi A6 shot towards Zhao Yuxin.
Bang!
A soft crash sounded, and Zhao Yuxin was sent flying, landing on the ground and immediately losing consciousness, blood flowing from her head.
A head popped out from the driver's side window of the Audi A6, shouting to Li Changsheng, "Dad, get in the car!"
"How did you get here?" Li Changsheng was taken aback.
He didn't expect to see his eldest son here.
He couldn't understand how his son could have appeared here.
"Dad, I'll explain later. Get in the car now; if you don't, we won't be able to get away!" Li Zicheng urged.
"Okay." Li Changsheng glanced at Zhao Yuxin lying in a pool of blood and got into the car immediately.
The Audi A6 sped away.
The traffic police couldn't stop them and could only use their walkie-talkies to alert their colleagues nearby and call for an ambulance.
The area descended into chaos as several drivers got out to watch.
…
The Audi A6 drove recklessly and at high speed, continuing south past the southern suburbs, quickly leaving the urban area of Fengcheng behind.
In the car.
Li Changsheng couldn't help but ask, "Zicheng, how did you get here?"
Li Zicheng explained, "Dad, when you came by plane, I drove here. I've been following you these past few days. I knew I couldn't dissuade you, so I just followed you. I can guess what you were about to do just now."
Li Changsheng frowned, "Why are you following me? Haven't I told you not to interfere in my affairs?"
Li Zicheng replied, "Dad, how could I not care? Could I just watch you go to extremes without doing anything?"
Li Changsheng sighed, "But you can't just run people over. That has caused trouble."
Li Zicheng said, "I did it on purpose. Now I've avenged Zixuan. Can you stop now?"
He hoped to use this method to prevent Li Changsheng from going to extremes.
Li Changsheng said in agitation and desperation, "Are you out of your mind? I'm old, and going to jail isn't a big deal for me, but you still have your whole life ahead of you. Once you go in, your life is utterly ruined."
At this moment, he felt a twinge of regret, regretting his decision to retaliate against Xu Yang in such a manner.
Otherwise, his eldest son wouldn't have taken such an action.
Now they were in trouble - since his eldest had hit Zhao Yuxin, he was definitely going to jail.
It didn't matter if his younger son went to jail, but his eldest was the Li Family's hope. Once he was imprisoned, the Li Family would be finished.
"Dad, don't worry, I won't go to jail," Li Zicheng said.
"Not going to jail? Are you thinking of fleeing abroad? But what could you do abroad? Besides, it's questionable whether you could even escape," Li Changsheng didn't believe his son's words.
"Dad, I wasn't thinking of escaping abroad. We'll head to Fengcheng," Li Zicheng said.
"To Fengcheng?" Li Changsheng was taken aback, "Are you thinking of going to your uncle? Asking him for help?"
His brother-in-law was indeed in Fengcheng.
"Exactly," Li Zicheng nodded, "I've already contacted uncle, and he said there won't be any problems."
"He said no problem, meaning he thinks you're going by yourself, right? Plus, you've hit Xu Yang's wife, he doesn't know about that yet, does he?"
Li Changsheng felt it was unlikely that his brother-in-law would forgive him.
The fact that his eldest son had hit Xu Yang's wife also had to be considered.
"No, when I contacted uncle yesterday, I already told him that you might do something bad and that I would bring you to him. At first, he disagreed, but after my persuasion, he agreed. As for having hit Xu Yang's wife, you don't need to worry at all. Since he's agreed to take you in, why would he mind that detail?
He said that as long as I was willing to come over, no matter what I did, he would take care of me," Li Zicheng explained.
"That's true," Li Changsheng nodded with a complex emotion.
He knew that his brother-in-law had agreed because of his eldest son.
After all, his eldest son was his brother-in-law's nephew.
Moreover, with his younger son already in prison, his brother-in-law couldn't possibly let both of them end up behind bars.
"Dad, with uncle willing to help, once we get to Fengcheng, we'll be completely safe. No one would be able to catch us," Li Zicheng said.
"Indeed, as long as your uncle is willing to help, no one can catch us," Li Changsheng nodded again.
He was aware of his brother-in-law's family situation.
Though they weren't extremely wealthy, they had extensive connections, and Fengcheng was a very special place.
The power his brother-in-law could wield was simply too vast.
Protecting the two of them would be all too easy.
"Dad, how is Zi Xuan doing?" Li Zicheng inquired.
"He's holding up okay. He's come to terms with going to jail. However, he was a bit disappointed to hear that I failed to make Xu Yang's family fall apart and that instead, our family company was brought down by him," Li Changsheng said.

"There was nothing we could do. Xu Yang caught us off guard and his tactics were so sharp that any business of our size couldn't withstand it," Li Zicheng sighed.
As the family business crumbled, he resented Xu Yang but at the same time, he couldn't help admiring him.
On reflection, if it were him, he wouldn't have been able to do the same.
If he could have, perhaps the family company wouldn't have failed.
"Yes, we underestimated him. To become a billionaire in just a year and to make connections with tycoons like Wang, he is indeed not simple," Li Changsheng also sighed.
"At least by hitting his wife, I managed to get my revenge," Li Zicheng said coldly.
In fact, hitting Zhao Yuxin was not solely to prevent Li Changsheng from going to extremes; he had a desire for revenge himself.
And having contacted his uncle, he felt secure with his help.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been foolish enough to hit someone just to prevent Li Changsheng from taking extreme measures, only to end up in jail himself.
"Right, if Zhao Yuxin ends up with any disabilities, even better. In that case, Xu Yang would be trapped in a lifetime of pain and guilt," Li Changsheng nodded.
