Chapter 2467 The 24-Hour Bet: It Was All Her Plan
Chapter 2467
Li Xingchen looked at her granddaughter walking slowly towards her, her heart filled with extremely complicated emotions.
Of all these children, his favorite was his little granddaughter, because she was so capable of planning and strategizing at such a young age.
They can even be ruthless, showing no mercy in injuring people.
Now she has grown into a beautiful young woman.
In a few years, he will be looking for a husband. Of all his children, he likes his youngest daughter the most.
Unfortunately, he was unable to hand over the entire Seven Star Group to his daughter.
In fact, despite the loss of so many children, he still found a suitable heir, who was born to his third wife.
His name is Li Yunfeng.
Li Yunfeng was the only candidate among all those who completed the task. He was also multilingual and meticulous in his work.
Therefore, Li Xingchen has decided to pass the position of head of the Li family to him, but now he wants to temper his temperament a little more.
He did not make it public.
This incident at this critical juncture has left Li Xingchen feeling inexplicably flustered.
When Li Xiuying led the group in, she exuded a powerful and imposing aura, unlike a mere granddaughter who had come to casually visit him and chat with him.
It seems more like they came to settle scores with him, to plot against him and usurp the throne.
Once the idea popped into Li Xingchen's mind, it quickly spread and became impossible to suppress.
Li Xingchen, his face dark, looked at Li Xiuying and asked, "What are you doing here? And with so many people?"
Li Xiuying chuckled, then suddenly drew a pistol from her waist, released the safety, and said to Li Xingchen:
"You want to kill my father, shouldn't I come?"
Li Xingchen gritted her teeth in anger, slammed her hand on the table, and roared, "Nonsense! Who am I doing this for?"
"Isn't it all for the sake of our Seven Stars family?"
"Now that the president has given the order, no matter how powerful our Seven Stars family is, do you think we can stand against the president?"
"Li Chengze is my most beloved son."
“I don’t want anything to happen to him if there’s any chance, but if we don’t hand him over now, our Seven Stars family will be destroyed.”
"How many eyes are watching us? How many people are waiting to kick us when we're down?"
"When it comes to the interests of the family, everything else can be sacrificed."
Li Xingchen spoke with great confidence, and from a rational point of view, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Li Xiuying coldly smiled and said:
"I don't want to hear any of your grand theories. All I know is that my mother is gone."
“If it weren’t for you, my mother wouldn’t have died so young. Now you’re trying to harm my father. I absolutely cannot agree to this.”
Li Xingchen's face darkened with anger as he said, "Are you trying to rebel?"
Li Xiuying sneered, "So what if we rebel?"
She paused, brandishing the gun in her hand, repeatedly tapping it against her palm, and said with a cold laugh:
"You must know the current situation of the Seven Stars family."
"Don't think that handing the family over to Li Yunfeng will bring the Seven Stars Family back to life."
"The document you have signed with Rose will bring hope to our Seven Stars family, but if you push my father out now and bring Aunt Rose back, then this document will be completely useless."
"By then, even if the Seven Stars family escapes the president's siege, they will absolutely not be able to survive. You have personally pushed the entire family out into an abyss of no return."
Li Xiuying has learned quite a few words these days because she has been spending a lot of time with Jiang Wan and the others.
Li Xingchen was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but what could he do in front of this granddaughter?
He took a deep breath and said:
"Even if I don't take action, the president will send people to arrest me soon."
Li Xiuying said, "Then it's none of your business. If the president's people arrest him, then I'm just being incompetent."
After a pause, he said:
“I know that you don’t really want to hurt my father and me, Grandpa. How about this, we each take a step back.”
“Just say that Li Chengze isn’t here with you, and you’ll send people to arrest him.”
"Give me 24 hours. If the situation hasn't changed after 24 hours..."
“The president still wants to arrest my father, and I will personally escort him to the presidential palace.”
Li Xingchen thought about it and decided that this was a good idea.
If possible, he also hoped to keep his son. So the grandfather and grandson reached an agreement.
To prevent Li Xingchen from causing trouble, Li Xiuying sent people to keep an eye on them all, which made Lin Xingchen grit her teeth in anger.
But there is nothing we can do.
In truth, he was secretly pleased because he discovered that his granddaughter was capable of handling things independently and even taking control of the overall situation.
His domineering demeanor just now was simply unmatched, even more spirited than when he was young, which made him extremely happy.
Li Chengze, looking somewhat worried, pulled his daughter aside and asked:
"Do you have something in mind?"
"We can't wait until 24 hours later and then we really rebel, can we?"
Everyone has abandoned their families and homes; how could they possibly rebel?
If this were to escalate, the Presidential Palace would send troops to suppress it in no time.
No matter how powerful the Seven Stars family is, they can't possibly stand against a nation.
Li Xiuying patted her father on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I have a way."
Li Chengze looked suspicious, but Li Xiuying clearly didn't want to say more.
Around midnight, Li Chengze had already drifted off to sleep.
Suddenly, a loud explosion rang in my ears. Although the sound was somewhat distant, it was still clearly audible.
The entire earth trembled.
He jumped up suddenly, his first thought being, "Has there been an earthquake?"
Hearing another explosion, he knew it was the sound of explosives detonating, indicating that something had been attacked. Sensing this, he rushed out of the house and into the yard.
Then, taking the binoculars and looking towards the base, they indeed saw a mushroom cloud rising from there.
The fiery red color illuminated almost the entire horizon.
Judging from the looks of it, the entire base was bombed particularly hard this time.
Li Chengze's expression turned serious. He hurriedly went to find Li Xiuying. Li Xiuying was not asleep at the time either. When Li Chengze came in, Li Xiuying had already dressed and was sitting there quietly waiting for him.
Seeing her father come in, Li Xiuying asked:
"Did Father see it?"
Li Chengze nodded, his voice somewhat hoarse and he asked with difficulty, "Did you make these?"
Li Xiuying shook her head and said with a smile, "I didn't do it."
Li Chengze said, "So you knew this would happen, which is why you said those things to Grandpa."
Li Xiuying pursed her lips, neither admitting nor denying.
Li Chengze said anxiously, "If the people in the Presidential Palace find out what you're doing, the US military won't let you off the hook either."
"Even if you have those underworld forces under your command, it won't mean anything at all."
