Ju Hua Zai Liu Lang

Chapter 567 Kneel and Speak!

"Isn't there some misunderstanding?" Li Quan couldn't help but say. After all, he managed the largest bodyguard group in Jiangnan Province. The two bodyguards behind him were both retired top soldiers, and their strength would not be inferior to the Martial Alliance or the Soul Gang. So, asking him to apologize to a young man was, to be honest, somewhat unreasonable. If it weren't for his apprehension of the joint forces of the Martial Alliance and the Soul Gang, he wouldn't have kicked his own son just now.

However, offending the Martial Alliance and the Soul Gang over a trivial matter was entirely unnecessary.

"Dad, he hit me, there's no misunderstanding at all!" Li Feiming shouted.

"Shut up!" Li Quan roared.

Li Feiming was still unconvinced, his face filled with malice. Forced to kneel here and kicked by his father, how could he maintain his standing in the future?

"Misunderstanding, hehe?" Zhao Ba chuckled. "Even if it is a misunderstanding, shouldn't you apologize properly for offending Doctor Li?"

"Doctor Li?" Li Quan glanced at Li Se, seemingly understanding his identity. He was likely a doctor who perhaps had a very powerful teacher, which was why Zhao Ba and Elder Fu were so protective. After some thought, he smiled and said, "If it was truly my son's fault, then an apology is in order. Feiming, come here and apologize to Doctor Li!"

"Dad, why should I apologize to him?" Li Feiming was unwilling. When his father hadn't arrived, he still had to be wary of Zhao Ba and Elder Fu. But now that his father was here, he felt no need to be afraid. He got up from the ground, his expression full of defiance. "The one who should apologize is me. I did nothing wrong; it's his fault. He hit me first!"

"Heh, Young Master Li, you brought so many people and even threatened to have my woman serve you. If I don't hit you, who else would I hit?" Li Se said with a smile.

"It would be her fortune to be able to serve me!" Li Feiming sneered.

Li Quan's face turned dark. His son was truly foolish. He, as the father, wasn't this arrogant, yet his son was this defiant. Didn't he know that Zhao Ba and Elder Fu were determined to protect this young man? He angrily slapped Li Feiming's forehead and said in a deep voice, "Apologize to Doctor Li!"

"Dad, I..." Li Feiming was still reluctant.

"Apologize!" Li Quan rebuked.

Li Feiming reluctantly mumbled, "I'm sorry!" towards Li Se.

"Kneel and speak!" Li Se was not one to be trifled with. "You tried to abduct a civilian woman, threatened me, and spoke lewdly about my daughter. Kneel and apologize to this Zhang Xiaoqin, apologize to my woman!"

"You're pushing your luck too far!" Li Feiming's expression turned grim.

At this moment, even Li Quan felt that Li Se was going too far. After all, his son had already apologized, and yet he was still being asked to kneel, and to a waitress at that. This was a bit much. Regardless, the Li family managed the largest bodyguard group in Jiangnan Province and still cared about their reputation. He looked towards Zhao Ba and Elder Fu, knowing that if these two relented, it would be fine. Thus, he said, "Brother Zhao, Elder Fu, my son has already apologized. But if he has to kneel and apologize to a waitress, isn't that going a bit too far?"

"Too far?" Zhao Ba was nonchalant. "Whatever Doctor Li says, goes. I don't think it's too far. He tried to abduct a civilian woman; is there no law anymore?"

Law?

Li Quan raised an eyebrow. At his status, he sometimes truly didn't care about such things. Moreover, Zhao Ba and Elder Fu were both leaders of the four major gangs in Jiangnan Province. It felt somewhat laughable for them to be talking about the law here, considering the amount of bloodshed they had been involved in over the years. However, he couldn't refute anything at the moment.

"Heh, Brother Zhao is right. There must be law. Otherwise, how about this: let my son apologize, but the kneeling part can be omitted." Li Quan said with a smile.

"Dad, how can I apologize to a mere waitress?" Li Feiming was somewhat enraged. He glared fiercely at Zhang Xiaoqin.

His fierce gaze startled Zhang Xiaoqin, who quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no apology is needed. Let's just drop this matter, no apology needed..."

She dared not let Li Feiming apologize to her, fearing what would happen afterward.

"Did you hear that? She also said no apology is needed!" Li Feiming sneered.

Li Quan immediately chimed in, "Since the party concerned said no apology is necessary, I think we should let this matter rest. I'll host a banquet tonight as an apology banquet, how about that?"

"Didn't you understand what I said? I said, kneel and apologize!" Li Se's gaze turned cold. In the past, he might have let it slide with a laugh, but today he was genuinely angered. He was just about to break through a certain barrier with Su Mei, and it was ruined. How could he not be furious? Furthermore, this Li Feiming was far too arrogant. If he didn't teach him a lesson, his anger wouldn't subside.

The most important thing was, he had the strength to do so.

"You're pushing your luck too far!" Li Feiming roared. "Aren't you just relying on Brother Zhao and Elder Fu? You're nothing but a dog that relies on its master's power. Do you really think our Li family is afraid?"

"Brother Zhao, Elder Fu, what do you two think? I've made my son apologize, and I've even agreed to host a banquet. Is that still not enough?" Li Quan also had his limits. The main point was that he had already conceded repeatedly, but this Li Se was still pressing on. Did he really think Li Quan was a pushover?

"I've said it before, whatever Doctor Li says, you do." Zhao Ba said indifferently.

"Heh, Brother Zhao, I'm about to have dinner with the Secretary's son to discuss security matters. If I'm delayed here for too long, and Young Master Song blames me, it won't be good for me. Let's end today's matter here, shall we?" Li Quan said with a smile.

He was bringing out powerful connections, this was a threat!

Li Quan was wary of the power of the Martial Alliance and the Soul Gang, but that didn't mean he was afraid. Moreover, he didn't believe these two gangs would truly oppose him for the sake of a doctor!

Now that he had even brought up the Secretary, he didn't believe Zhao Ba and Elder Fu wouldn't back down.

Indeed, when the two heard this, their expressions changed slightly. They were both leaders in the underworld. No matter how great their influence or how many subordinates they had, they still couldn't afford to offend the officials, especially when the Secretary was involved.

Seeing this situation, Li Feiming immediately felt a sense of triumph and said, "Dad, you're having dinner with Young Master Song, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have needed to apologize to this brat!"

Li Quan glared at his son, then said with a smile, "Since there's nothing else, I'll take my son and leave. Young Master Song is waiting."

Saying this, he prepared to leave with his son.

Before leaving, Li Feiming did not forget to glare fiercely at Li Se, with a threatening gaze. He still didn't believe that Zhao Ba and Elder Fu could protect Li Se forever.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Se's voice rang out at this moment.

"Is there anything else?" Li Quan was somewhat displeased. He was internally furious. This brat was acting like a bully who relied on his connections. Even Zhao Ba and Elder Fu didn't dare to say much, yet this brat dared to be so persistent?

Li Se smiled and said, "You're talking about Song Xuehai, right? Have him come over. It's been a while since I've seen him."
