My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 278: Chapter 0278: The Truth_1
 

Ye Xiong disregarded the strange looks from the people around him and walked straight to the center of the room, his gaze landing sharply on the beautiful man as he spoke indifferently, “Li Chunpeng, you dare to retaliate against your own family like this, do you not even dare to show your true face?”

His words stirred up a great commotion, as everyone’s gaze swiftly turned to the beautiful man.

Li Ba’s pupils shrank as he stared at the beautiful man, seemingly trying to discern the truth of Ye Xiong’s words.

Li Xiangxiang’s body trembled, a look of disbelief in her eyes.

The other members of the Li Family also had complex expressions on their faces.

Anyone who had worked for the Li Family for over a year knew of Li Chunpeng’s name; no one hadn’t heard of it.

Back then, he was a renowned figure in the Li Family, talented in both literature and martial arts, and was hailed as the next successor of the Li Family. He had also greatly won Li Ba’s favor.

However, it was later said that Li Chunpeng had died, and Li Ba was said to have been saddened by this news for a long time.

This past year, since Li Chunpeng had not returned, these people had gradually come to believe that he was indeed dead.

They had never imagined that out of nowhere, a Dummy would claim that the beautiful man determined to bring destruction to the Li Family was none other than Li Chunpeng.

The beautiful man, with a piercing gaze fixed on Ye Xiong, sneered, “Such words are laughable. Everyone knows that Li Chunpeng has long been dead.”

Ye Xiong knew that since he had come in disguise to seek revenge, he would certainly not easily admit to his identity, so Ye Xiong continued, “On the surface, you are dead, even your military unit thinks you’re dead. However, the truth is you’re not dead at all, and everything that is happening to the Li Family now is a result of your vengeful actions against them.”

“Li Chunpeng is a member of the Li Family, isn’t he shaming himself by taking revenge on his own family?” the beautiful man remarked.

“A year ago, the military notified us that you died in the line of duty. At that time, your mother and sister’s status in the Li Family plummeted. Lu Yuanying started to bully your mother and sister. Once, Li Xiaohuan bullied your sister Li Xiangxiang, and your mother Yinglian Feng confronted Li Xiaohuan and had a huge fight with Lu Yuanying, an irreconcilable argument. Four days after the argument, your mother died in a car accident, which the police ruled as a traffic incident, but you believe that it was all orchestrated by Lu Yuanying, thus harboring resentment. Additionally, your sister Li Xiangxiang has been bullied in the Li Family over the past year by Lu Yuanying, Li Xiaohuan, and Li Chunlang, while your father remained indifferent, all of which ignited a desire for revenge in you, prompting you to arrange a series of actions to avenge your family.”

Ye Xiong recounted the series of events.

“I must say, you have quite the talent for making up stories. What evidence do you have to prove that I am Li Chunpeng, and what evidence is there to show that the affairs of the Li Family are Li Chunpeng’s doing?” the beautiful man scoffed coldly.

“Actually, you returned two months ago.”

From Dummy’s diary, Ye Xiong realised that the usually depressed Li Xiangxiang started to become happy, which meant Li Chunpeng must have come back at that time.

“You began investigating your mother’s death, and after your investigation, you concluded that her death was caused by the Li Family, which led you to seek revenge. You figured the best way to get back at the Li Family was to ruin Li Ba’s reputation utterly, therefore you engineered a series of debauched incidents to bring shame on the Li Family. Then, you disguised yourself as you are now, arriving at the Li Family’s place to cause trouble in front of dozens of people, defeating Li Ba and completely tarnishing his reputation. I must say, your methods are indeed vicious.”

“All of this is just your speculation; after all is said and done, you still have no evidence,” the beautiful man sneered.

“If you want evidence, it’s simple, you are the evidence.” Ye Xiong pointed to the man’s face and said lightly, “Do you have the courage to remove your mask and let us see your true face?”

“And you, Miss Long Lan, last night you disguised yourself as a female ghost, and now you’ve become a lady in black. You indeed live up to being Ghost’s daughter, thoroughly inheriting your father’s skills,” Ye Xiong then turned his attention to the woman in black.

“Who the hell are you?” the woman in black’s complexion changed dramatically.

Very few people knew of her father’s identity as Ghost. Could he be…?

A name flashed through her mind like lightning.

“Like father, like daughter; if the father is ruthlessly ambitious, so is the daughter. Li Xiaohuan and Li Yuanbin had no quarrel with you, and yet you set them up and even went as far as to kill them?” Ye Xiong stated coldly.

“What evidence do you have?”

“There was a particular scent in both Li Xiangxiang’s room and Li Xiaohuan’s room, a special fragrance. Li Xiaohuan was confused by your ***** drug and took her own life while dressing herself. Earlier, in the room, Zhang Yanmei and Li Chunlang were also muddled by your ***** drug, which led them to fool around together; they didn’t even know what they were doing. All of this was your doing. Am I wrong, Ghost’s daughter, the master of Illusion Gate, Miss Long Lan?”

“I must say, you have quite an imagination,” said the woman in black.

Both of them still would not admit to anything.

Having reached this point and with the other party refusing to confess, Ye Xiong was at a loss.

All he could do was to turn his gaze toward Li Xiangxiang and said somberly, “Xiangxiang, if you don’t want more innocent people to die, it’s time for you to step forward!”

At his words, everyone’s gaze swiftly turned to Li Xiangxiang, and they instinctively cleared a path.

Li Xiangxiang stood there trembling, like a leaf in the wind, helpless and forlorn.

She glanced at Li Ba on the ground, injured, then looked toward Li Chunlang and Zhang Yanmei, who were locked in a room *** and kept shouting. Then, her eyes settled on Li Xiaohuan’s room, the person who had often bullied her, who was no longer there. And her uncle, although a lady’s man, would occasionally come to see her, but he would never come again…

Li Xiangxiang lifted her head and looked at the handsome man in the center of the room, speaking faintly, “Big brother, please stop!”

A tear trailed down her cheek.

Upon hearing Li Xiangxiang’s words, everyone was stunned.

If some people still doubted what he said, then Li Xiangxiang’s words were utterly convincing.

Why were all the members of the Li Family in trouble, yet the most fragile Li Xiangxiang remained unharmed? Wasn’t this a confirmation of the truth of her words?

“Li Chunpeng, are you also afraid to admit it in front of your sister?”

The handsome man stared intently at Ye Xiong, then suddenly burst into laughter.

The rough voice of the elder restored to a young man’s voice, and this voice was all too familiar to those present.

If it wasn’t Li Chunpeng’s voice, whose else could it be?

“Peng’er, it’s really you. Why would you do this?” Li Ba’s fists tensed with emotion, and even his voice changed.

“Why am I doing this? Aren’t you the clearest on that?” Li Chunpeng glared at Li Ba, bellowing in rage: “Back then, the fact that my mother was killed by people sent by Lu Yuanying, you knew the truth but not only did you not report it to the police, you also helped her cover it up. You were just afraid of losing face if people found out about your family’s scandal, right? Well then, I’m going to make sure you’re completely disgraced.”

“That never happened, who told you that?” Li Ba hurriedly denied.

“Have you forgotten what I do for a living? As a top secret agent in the National Security Agency’s Intelligence Department, how could I not find out about something like this?” Li Chunpeng roared furiously.

Yinglian Feng was killed by someone sent by Lu Yuanying?

Li Ba knew the truth and helped cover it up?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Another bombshell left everyone at a loss.

Finally, these people understood why Li Chunpeng harbored such hatred toward Li Ba.
