If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 554 - : Freeze All His Funds

Chapter 554: Chapter 554: Freeze All His Funds

A few days later, Li Beiting quietly went to Yu Weiwei’s research institute and retrieved the surveillance footage.

Through these videos, he had someone trace the thugs who had vandalized the research institute.

Following the trail, ultimately, he discovered that whether it was these hooligans or the Jing Bank that betrayed the contract, they were all lackeys of Mi Fei’s father.

Which is to say, all of this, Mi Fei’s father could not escape involvement.

That evening, while he was finishing his dinner and working in the study, a young servant knocked on his door.

“Young master, the master and madam have asked for you to come downstairs,” the servant said.

“What for?”

“I don’t know.”

The young servant reported honestly, and Li Beiting, with an expression of displeasure, pushed his chair back and stood up.

He opened the door with a “clang”, startling the young servant waiting outside who respectfully bowed his head.

Li Beiting’s father and mother were sitting on the sofa, each with a cup of aged Pu’er tea in front of them, the aroma of tea filling the living room.

There was a fruit plate on the table, filled with a variety of fruits: watermelon, grapes, green plums, pomelos…

Li Beiting buttoned the cuffs of his shirt and walked down with a solemn face.

“Beiting, I’ve heard that Yu Weiwei owes a usurious debt of sixty-five million,” Li Beiting’s mother initiated the conversation.

Li Beiting sat down across from them without a word.

He had already investigated the matter, and it was indeed sixty-five million.

People from Jing Bank had altered the contract, which was then transferred to loan sharks, leading to such a large debt.

“Yu Weiwei probably won’t be able to repay this money,” Li Beiting’s mother added faintly.

Li Beiting let out a cold laugh, “Should I be grateful to Uncle Mi?”

As he spoke these words, the expressions on his parents’ faces shifted.

It turned out that Li Beiting knew everything.

Li Beiting’s father said, “Whether you know or not, the sixty-five million must be repaid by Yu Weiwei. If you think that’s unfair, let me tell you, there’s no such thing as fairness!”

“I never felt it was unfair; I just think Uncle Mi is quite despicable, isn’t he?”

Li Beiting spoke frankly, causing his father’s expression to darken immediately.

The Mi Family too had a reputable standing in C City and was not inferior to the Li Family.

Li Beiting’s outspokenness greatly displeased his father. Fortunately, Mi Fei’s father and Mi Fei were not present today.

“In business, all is fair in war. If anyone is to blame, blame that woman for overestimating her capabilities, and besides, she’s too green!” his father lectured.

“I’m sorry for causing you so much concern,” Li Beiting said, his lips still forming a cold smile.

It had been three years since he and Yu Weiwei broke up, yet they were still vigilant against her.

“You and Feifei will be getting engaged soon, at this critical time we are all looking out for you!”

“Is there anything else? If not, I’m going upstairs,” Li Beiting said, running out of patience.

“Wait!” his father called out to him.

Despite his age, Li Beiting’s father still carried the vigor from his younger days in his brow.

His words were resounding and imposing.

“Do you really want to repay that sixty-five million for Yu Weiwei?”

Li Beiting fell silent, yes, he did plan to repay her debt without anyone noticing.

His intentions could not be concealed from his father.

“Beiting, your funds have been frozen by me. Until your engagement, it’s impossible for you to do as you please,” his father said sternly.

Li Beiting’s eyes grew colder; his father had actually frozen all of his funds!

“However, I can have Uncle Mi waive Yu Weiwei’s debt, but the decision is yours,” his father said casually, sipping his Pu’er tea.

“What do you want me to do?”

“Until your engagement with Feifei, you are not to see Yu Weiwei again,” his father declared coldly.

“Do I have a choice?” Li Beiting scoffed.

“As long as you understand. Just stay with Feifei peacefully, and I will ensure Yu Weiwei’s research institute can reopen. Your father is not an unreasonable man; my word is my bond,” he continued.

Li Beiting was silent, “my word is my bond” was most fitting to describe his father.

Back in the day when his father was involved in the underworld, the most valued principles were loyalty and trustworthiness.

Once his father gave his word, not only would he see it through, but it was also impossible to retract.

Before Li Beiting could say anything more, his father added, “Of course, you could also choose to borrow the money from Achi. I don’t care about the process; I’ll only tell you that if you stay with Yu Weiwei, her parents will disappear from C City the next day!”

This wasn’t the first time he had said these words to Li Beiting.

Repeating them several times was to ensure he remembered.

“Feifei is a good girl,” Li Beiting’s mother said softly, “You’ve been with her for some time, you should know that.”

Ultimately, Li Beiting’s mother showed a bit of affection for her son, passing him a slice of watermelon.

She had hoped to ease Li Beiting’s heart, but unknowingly, Li Beiting was seething with anger.

He shoved the slice away, accidentally elbowing his mother.

With a “smack”, the watermelon in Li Beiting’s mother’s hand fell to the ground!

Li Beiting immediately stood up, his whole body exuding a chill, his eyes even more so, blood red!

He strode towards the upstairs study!

Li Beiting’s mother shook her head as she looked at the fallen watermelon on the ground and gestured to a young servant, “Clean this up.”

“Quite the temper he has,” Li Beiting’s father scoffed.

“Let’s not worry about him for now; we’ll call the Mi Family elders over tomorrow to discuss the engagement,” he said.

“Yes, it’s about time.”

“Sigh, I really don’t know what’s gotten into Beiting. It’s already been three years since he broke up with that woman, yet he still can’t forget her.”

“That woman must have her ways with certain black arts!” Li Beiting’s father said.

After pondering, Li Beiting’s mother agreed. A woman skilled in andrology must be especially adept at catering to men’s preferences.

Like in bed, for instance…

When Li Beiting returned to the study, he made a call to Shen Chi.

“Shen Chi.”

“Hmm?”

At this time, Shen Chi was working at the Shen Family, Xu Chaomu had taken yarn to learn knitting with Butler Ling, and Mi Fei had gone to crochet.

Shen Chi turned on the speakerphone and continued to work on his laptop.

“Are you free? Come to Weiyang, I need to talk to you,” Li Beiting said, his mood very low. free𝑤ebnovel.com

“I’m not free.”

“You!” Li Beiting, out of options, said, “Fine, lend me sixty-five million.”

“Okay.”

Shen Chi agreed without hesitation; he didn’t need to think to know it must be about Yu Weiwei.

Li Beiting wasn’t short on money; if he was suddenly borrowing money, there could only be one possibility: Li Beiting’s father had frozen all his assets!

“Thanks.”

Shen Chi didn’t say much. Li Beiting had been in charge of the Li Family company for many years, yet it seemed he still hadn’t gained control over the company’s financial lifeline.

This power, no matter what, had to be kept in his own hands.

Just as the call was about to end, Li Beiting added dispassionately, “Really not coming to Weiyang?”

“Not going.”

“Alright then,” Li Beiting said, with a hint of helplessness and disappointment in his tone.

“Go find Ji Shengxuan.”

“Hmm.”
