Chapter 1145
As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to many mistakes.
Xiao Chen gave up completely.
His eyes were incomparably empty as if he no longer had any sense of what was happening around him. He was completely numb and in a state of despair.
However, Little Li was still unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle. However, the Death Warrior directly tied her to a chair.
“Let go of me! What are you trying to do? I’m the daughter of the Li Corporation, Li Lingli! If my father finds out, he won’t let you off!”
She did not believe that Ken Swanson would really take her life!
She was not an ordinary person. She was a socialite! And her family background was definitely not ordinary!
If she died, even Ken Swanson would not be able to answer to her family!
Thinking of this, Li Lingli’s panic dissipated.
“I advise you to let me go immediately. Otherwise, all of you will have to bear the consequences! Do you hear me?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a slap landed heavily on Li Lingli’s face.
The slap was very heavy. Li Lingli felt that her entire face was numb from the slap. Even her teeth showed signs of loosening, and her mouth was filled with the taste of blood. She was shocked and furious.
“Even trash like you dare to hit me?!”
It was one thing for Melody Fox to hit her, but at least she had the title of the Swanson Group Young Madam. But what were these guys?
They were just a few dogs, yet they dared to attack her? “How dare you hit me, Li Lingli? You’re dead!”
However, the next second, another slap landed on her face.
This time, he hit her even harder. One of Li Lingli’s teeth fell to the ground.
She was in so much pain that she could not speak. She sucked in a breath of cold air forcefully.
However, even if she could speak, she did not dare to say anything else. She was afraid that she would be slapped again.
“It’s finally quiet.”
The leader, the Death Warrior, dug his ears and said, “Since it’s quiet, listen to me. Between the two of you, who is the mastermind, and who is the accomplice? Tell me the truth! Otherwise, what awaits you will be a punishment that you can’t imagine. It won’t be just two slaps.”
A glimmer of hope appeared on Xiao Chen’s desperate face. She was just an accessory. Perhaps she could leave this place alive.
At the thought of this, Xiao Chen suddenly looked at Li Lingli and said, “Her! The mastermind is her! I was instigated by her. I didn’t want to do that at first. She was the one who said that she wanted to teach Melody Fox… No, Mr. Swanson Grandma a lesson. She was also the one who found the toy snake and locked the toilet stall door. I didn’t do anything at all. I just followed her. Please, let me off this time. As long as you let me off, I will definitely change my ways in the future. I won’t complain even if I have to work for Mr. Swanson’s Grandma.”
Li Lingli widened her eyes and stared at Xiao Chen.
How dare she betray me! She’s putting all the blame on me! Li Lingli endured the pain angrily and said, “Chen Pan, are you talking nonsense? You were the one who came up with the idea, and you were the one who threw the toy snake! You were the one who found out that Melody Fox had left the pool, so you asked me if I wanted to teach Melody Fox a lesson.”
“I didn’t! You’re talking nonsense! Big Brother, she’s maligning me! I’m naturally timid. How would I dare to come up with such an idea?”
Chen Pan immediately denied it.
Even if she was the one who came up with the idea, she was the one who started the lecture.
“Chen Pan, you b*tch! I was wrong about you.”
“You’re no better. If you hadn’t been egging me on, why would I have gone into the bathroom with you? You’re the reason I was arrested and brought here!”
“B*tch, shut up! After we get out, I’ll definitely tear your mouth apart!”
“Then come and try. You’re the mastermind. You can’t get out! Brother, please believe me. I’m really not the mastermind. Please punish me gently…”
Death Warrior crossed his arms in front of his chest and said with a faint smile, “In that case, you admit that scaring Young Mistress was not a misunderstanding, but you did it on purpose?”
Their faces stiffened.
Li Lingli was the first to react.
“Damn it! Are you trying to get information out of us?”
“Hehe.” Death Warrior laughed mockingly and said, “If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. Didn’t you say that if your father finds out, he won’t let us off? Why don’t you look up?”
Li Lingli subconsciously looked up.
He saw that the ceiling above him was empty. He could see the railing on the second floor directly.
Beside the railing, Aaron Berg stood side by side with two middle-aged men.
The two middle-aged men were Li Lingli’s father and Chen Pan’s second uncle.
“Second Uncle!”
“Dad! Save me!”
Mr. Li shook his head and said with a disappointed expression, “Lingli, I didn’t expect you to do such a thing. It’s simply the family’s misfortune!”
Li Lingli widened her eyes in disbelief.
“Dad, what do you mean? Don’t you care about my life? I’m your biological daughter!”
“It’s precisely because you’re my biological daughter that I can’t let you go. Otherwise, you’ll completely go down the wrong path! It’s a good opportunity for Mr. Swanson’s people to help me discipline you so that you won’t make even more serious mistakes in the future!”
Li Lingli was furious.
“Dad! You can’t do this to me!”
She had thought that her father would scold her, but she had never expected that her father did not care about her life at all and even asked Ken Swanson to help him discipline her!
Chen Pan’s second uncle had a cold expression on his face.
“Chen Pan, your father died early. I thought your mother would educate you well, but it seems that I was wrong about her. I’m really disappointed in you.”
“No, no! No! Second Uncle, don’t be like this. I was wrong. I really know my mistake. I won’t make any mistakes in the future. Please don’t leave me alone!”
Chen Pan’s second uncle no longer listened to Chen Pan’s nonsense. He turned around and said respectfully to Aaron Berg, “Sir, since Chen Pan has already admitted that she did deliberately want to mess with Grandma Mr. Swanson, I definitely won’t side with her. I won’t be dissatisfied no matter how you punish her.”
Aaron Berg raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and looked at Father Li.
“Where’s Mr. Li? Is he going to beg for mercy for your daughter?”
Mr. Li’s expression froze.
Li Lingli was his biological daughter after all, but in the face of such power and the fact that Li Lingli had indeed made a mistake, as a businessman, he knew what to do for the family.
Therefore, after hesitating for two seconds, Mr. Li said firmly, “If you want to hit or punish me, I’ll let you punish me. It’s just that I don’t know anything about this. Please be magnanimous and don’t implicate our family.”
“That’s right.” Chen Pan’s second uncle quickly added, “I’m just Chen Pan’s second uncle. Ping Fox doesn’t interact much with her. She was the one who insisted on pestering me to come to today’s cocktail party. I really had no choice but to bring her here. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. I’ll definitely reflect on myself when I go back. Please don’t blame me.”
Aaron Berg put on a fake smile and said, “Don’t worry. Since the two of you are so cooperative, how can I implicate you?”
