Disguised as a man, she returned to the military academy and was forced to study again.

Li Kejia laughed in anger, "What if I don't choose?"

"If you don't agree, I'll chop off one of his hands." Ji Li's amber eyes flashed coldly as he continued, "If you still don't agree, I'll chop off another one until you agree. Or if he dies, your consent will no longer be needed."

"do not want!"

"you dare!"

The voices of Li Yuanqing and Li Kejia sounded at the same time, one with fear and the other with anger.

Li Yuanqing was really scared. He was afraid that Ji Li would really kill him and his mother would really ignore him. He had no other hope except his mother. If she didn't help him, even if he was beaten to death, those old stubborn people would not care about him. But he still didn't want to bow to Ji Li, and just pleaded with Li Kejia:

"No, mother! Please, save me, please save me! Mother! I won't be confused again, I know I was wrong. He will really kill me, he really will! Save me, mother!"

The holographic projection seemed to be happening in real time in front of Li Kejia. She was extremely heartbroken when she heard it, and looked at Ji Li with sharp eyes:

"You're really just pretending. You're a profit-seeking person who forgets righteousness when it comes to personal gain! You don't think that if you squeeze him out, the Li family will give you over, do you? Without my support, you probably won't even be able to sit in the Ji family in the future. How could I give birth to a child like you? I should have strangled you to death back then!"

Ji Li crossed his legs and spoke with a slight sense of oppression:

"Adjutant, chop off his fingers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yuanqing screamed in agony and passed out from the pain. His finger was severed at the root. The adjutant's movements were clean and efficient, without a trace of hesitation.

"Ah!!!" Li Kejia saw it all clearly, even the splattered blood was so clear. She screamed and rushed towards the projection, "Yuanqing, Yuanqing!"

The team led by the adjutant was very professional. After a simple hemostasis, they gave Li Yuanqing an injection to keep him awake. He was in excruciating pain, and looking at the four fingers placed in front of him, he could no longer bear it and begged for mercy:

"Brother, brother... I was wrong. I won't fight anymore... I really won't fight anymore. Please forgive me... I was really wrong."

Ji Li heard what Li Yuanqing said and said calmly, "In this family, mother has always had the final say."

Li Kejia half-knelt on the ground and said angrily, "Ji Li, don't get too carried away."

"Cut." Ji Li looked at the adjutant in the projection department and gave orders.

"Yes."

After hearing these words, Li Kejia's blood rushed to his head and he became even more excited:

"Are you crazy? Without me, you are nothing. How dare you act so arrogantly in the Li family!"

After the scream, Li Yuanqing let out a short, low whine, and he fainted again. Forced awake again, he was dripping wet, as if he'd just been dragged out of a dye vat. He tried to say more, but he no longer had the strength to speak, like a poultry drained of blood on a chopping board.

Only now did Li Yuanqing realize that his younger brother had always been polite to him, otherwise he would have suffered so much pain thousands of times.

The sky outside had turned pale, and the black mecha outside the floor-to-ceiling window became clearer and clearer. The fuselage shone with a cold metallic light in the morning light, and a sense of oppression came over me.

"You're crazy, you're really crazy..."

Li Kejia also seemed to have been drained of blood. She really had feelings for Li Yuanqing, and such a punishment was undoubtedly a torture to her. She was also certain that Ji Li was really going to kill Li Yuanqing. After a long silence, she finally spoke stiffly:

"Let him go through with the marriage, and don't go on any further."

"Very good." Ji Li got a satisfactory answer. "I said I would let you choose one of the two."

The adjutant received the order and quickly released Li Yuanqing, calling for the medical staff nearby to bandage him. Li Kejia saw that Li Yuanqing's bleeding had stopped in the holographic projection, raised his eyes and said coldly:

"You should know that our mother-son relationship has come to an end after doing this. Since you have such a strong opinion of me, then leave after today's meeting. The Li family can't tolerate a big Buddha like you. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Li family, and the affairs of the Ji family have nothing to do with us. You..."

Ji Li interrupted her long speech, his expression very indifferent, and took out a brooch from his pocket and turned it in his hand:

"Is it you who doesn't need it, or do they all not need it?"

In Ji Li's hand was a beautiful noble medal, exactly the same as the one on Yan Qi.

Li Kejia had long known from Li Yishui that Ji Li had given the Ji family's medal of nobility to his partner. Knowing the importance of the other party, she wanted to add fuel to the fire online.

As the direct heir, Ji Li actually has another one.

How can it be?

Li Kejia was suddenly shocked, and his anger turned cold. "You...you..."

Ji Li slowly pinned the medal of nobility on his chest, looked at Li Kejia with amber eyes and said:

"It's just what you think."

The pigeon-blood red gem was so eye-catching that it made Li Kejia a little dazed. Li Kejia couldn't believe that Ji Li had successfully ascended to the position of Patriarch of the Ji Family at such a young age.

No wonder Ji Li dared to give away the Ji family medal so casually. She thought he had escaped death and was infatuated with it. No wonder Ji Li came back so easily, and that old man Ji En did not try to stop him. No wonder no one in the Ji family came forward to inquire about Ji Li's return so long ago.

No wonder……

Thinking of this, Li Kejia's face darkened a little, and he sneered, "What a huge ambition! It's not enough to swallow up the Ji family. You still want to come back to me and pretend. You really want more."

Ji Li lowered his eyes and said nothing more. He gently stroked the medal on his chest and said silently in his heart:

"Mother, what has always bound me is the love I have for you, my own flesh and blood."

But Ji Li knew that she wouldn't understand.

In fact, Ji Li couldn't figure out what he was thinking at first, and he didn't know how to get what he wanted.

Perhaps it was the information on maternal love on the Star Network that was so heartwarming that it made him want to possess it. Or perhaps it was Li Kejia's occasional gentle words that gave him the illusion of being loved by his mother. Or perhaps Ji Li was mesmerized by the heartwarming interactions between Ji Kejia and Li Yuanqing.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

He now knew that he had not sunk into false love, nor had he become a parasite of power. He had also redeemed his right to a free life and love.

When Ji Li walked out of the house that belonged to Li Kejia, the sky outside was bright and the sun crossed the horizon like a fireball.
