"dad!"

Li Jiaming rushed towards the first car, shouting.

The door of the first car opened quickly, and a figure stepped out—none other than Li Yonghao.

Li Jiaming threw himself on Li Yonghao, hugged him tightly, and burst into tears.

After all, he was his son. No matter how angry Li Yonghao was, he couldn't help but pat his shoulder: "You brat, stop crying and come with me home!"

As for the people in the other cars, they didn't even get off; they just watched coldly.

But at this moment, everyone was filled with anger.

If it weren't for this kid, how could the Li family have suffered such a heavy blow!

On their way here, they had been receiving calls from the Li family. The crisis was still ongoing, and almost all of their business partners had called to request the termination of contracts and the cancellation of cooperation.

Even if some people would rather pay the penalty for breach of contract than cooperate with the Li family again.

This has brought the entire Li family to the brink of collapse, especially the patriarch Li Youcai, who is almost driven to despair.

Now, they are all waiting to find Li Jiaming, find out the situation, and then think of a solution.

"Dad, I was so scared! I thought I'd never see you again!"

Li Jiaming, unaware of what had happened to the Li family, still held on tightly, choking back tears with aggrieved expression.

Before he could finish speaking, a head suddenly popped out of another car and shouted, "You bastard, stop talking nonsense! Get in the car and come home with us. You'll tell your grandfather everything you did tonight!"

The roar startled Li Jiaming. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was his third uncle's car, and the voice belonged to his third uncle.

"Third Uncle, why are you yelling at me?"

Li Jiaming felt increasingly aggrieved.

His third uncle raised him from childhood and always doted on him the most; he had never spoken to him so harshly before.

"You brat, don't ask any more questions. Get in the car and explain the whole story!"

Li Yonghao shoved Li Jiaming aside and dragged him into the car.

Then, the four cars sped off towards the capital.

"Dad, what happened?"

Li Jiaming sensed something was wrong and quickly asked.

There was only a driver and a bodyguard in Li Yonghao's car, but the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

He had just finished speaking when Li Yonghao's phone suddenly rang.

Upon checking the caller ID, it was none other than Li Youcai.

Li Yonghao's expression changed drastically; he stared at his phone, his hands trembling.

"This is Grandpa's phone, Dad, why aren't you answering?"

Li Jiaming reached out to grab his phone; his grandfather, Li Youcai, doted on him the most.

"Take your hands off me!"

Li Yonghao slapped Li Jiaming's hand away and quickly answered the phone.

A sharp pain shot through the back of his hand, but Li Jiaming dared not utter a sound. Li Yonghao's terrified expression frightened him.

As soon as the call connected, Li Youcai's furious roar came from the other end: "Have you found that spendthrift son yet?"

Li Jiaming's heart trembled even more. His grandfather had never scolded him, but the words "spendthrift son" were undoubtedly directed at him.

"Dad, we've found it! We'll be home soon!"

Li Yonghao replied in a trembling voice, "Could it be that someone has called again to terminate the contract?"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Youcai interrupted him: "We've finally found this spendthrift son! That's great! If you hadn't come back, even the last three business partners would have terminated their contracts, and our Li family would have been finished!"

"The last three partners?" Li Yonghao almost jumped up. "Have all the other partners already called?"

"It's all because of your good son! If it weren't for him, how could our Li family have suffered such a blow?"

Li Youcai's voice was like that of a madman, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm giving you twenty minutes to get home!"

Li Jiaming was completely terrified.

After a long pause, he asked Li Yonghao, his voice trembling, "Dad, what did Grandpa mean by that?"

"Snapped!"

Li Yonghao suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face: "Our Li family is finished! Really finished! All our partners have terminated their contracts, all because of you, you spendthrift son!"

As he cursed, tears streamed down Li Yonghao's face.

"Dad, what happened? Why did they terminate the contract with us?"

Li Jiaming finally realized that he had made a big mistake.

He had some knowledge of the Li family's businesses; there were at least eighty or a hundred partners, but now there were only three left!

"You brat, stop asking! Now tell me everything you did tonight, from beginning to end, without missing a single word!"

Li Yonghao roared.

Li Jiaming dared not delay and immediately recounted his experience that evening.

After listening, Li Yonghao felt that things were not simple, but he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After the Ye family found Li Jiaming, they didn't kill him; they just left him on a desolate mountain, which suggests that there might still be room for maneuver.

The convoy soon arrived at the Li family's house.

There were thirty or forty people sitting in the hall. All the key members of the Li family were present, and everyone looked very grim.

When Li Jiaming followed Li Yonghao into the hall, everyone stared at him intently, as if they wanted to poke holes in him.

At this moment, everyone except the last partner has called to cancel their partnership.

In other words, apart from the last project, all of the Li family's other businesses will have to come to a standstill.

This is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the Li family, whose assets are worth hundreds of billions and whose businesses are numerous.

Li Jiaming trembled with fear at the hateful looks in everyone's eyes and almost wet his pants.

He quickly looked at his grandfather, Li Youcai, who was sitting in the main seat.

Li Youcai looked listless, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Li Jiaming was even more frightened. Just then, a piercing phone rang. It was Li Youcai's cell phone.

As soon as the phone rang, everyone in the Li family stood up abruptly and looked at Li Youcai's phone.

Li Youcai suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, stared at the name on his phone screen, his face instantly turned ashen, and he slumped onto the sofa.

The caller was none other than the Li family's last business partner, their closest ally, and their in-law through marriage—his eldest son's father-in-law and the head of the Qi family.

This was the only partner the Li family believed wouldn't terminate the contract, but now, even he's calling.

The eldest son, sitting not far away, quickly saw the caller ID. Seeing his father's pained expression, his hands began to tremble. He hurriedly went over to answer the phone, asking with suppressed anger, "Father-in-law, are you calling to cancel the cooperation with the Li family too?"

"It's you! Where's your dad? Why isn't he answering the phone?"

A furious roar came from the other end of the phone from the head of the Qi family.

"Stop bothering my dad, just tell me straight, do you also want to terminate your contract with us?"

The eldest brother pressed for an answer again.

"It's not that I want to terminate the contract, it's that I have no choice but to! I don't want our Qi family to be wiped out like your Li family!"

The Qi family patriarch's voice echoed through the hall via his cell phone, "Tell me, what exactly did your Li family do to offend the Ye family?"

Everyone in the hall held their breath, and everyone heard what was being said on the phone.

Instantly, everyone's faces turned even paler, and they looked at Li Jiaming again, wishing they could rush up and strangle him.
