Chapter 1313 - 1363: Sealing the Company
"Dad, you have to save Dongxiang!"
Sunx Mingli looked at his father, Sunx Fugui, with an expression full of sorrow and desperation.
Sunx Fugui’s face was as dark as water. Li Yifei’s move was truly ruthless—he handed Ma Dongxiang directly to the police. At first glance, handing someone to the police wasn’t an insurmountable issue. With the Sunx Family’s influence, there were plenty of ways to get Ma Dongxiang out. However, Ma Dongxiang seemed to have lost her mind and adamantly insisted that she was the one who killed Li Yifei’s son.
When the perpetrator confesses, the Sunx Family found themselves in a bind. They couldn’t rescue Ma Dongxiang under such circumstances—it would be tantamount to admitting that they were behind the murder of Li Yifei’s son.
After careful consideration, Sunx Fugui said in a deep voice, "Mingli, you’re a member of the Sunx Family. How can you not have the mental fortitude to handle this?"
Sunx Mingli started to cry, visibly worn out, and said, "Dad, my son is gone, and now my wife has been arrested. How am I supposed to continue living like this? You have to think of a way to save Dongxiang."
Sunx Fugui felt some pity for his son. Mingli had been quite capable and had steadily risen over the years, destined to be a key figure for the Sunx Family in the future. But now he was utterly dejected, neglecting meals, and his work was a complete mess.
Slamming the table abruptly, Sunx Fugui shouted, "Idiot! Letting a woman reduce you to this state—don’t you have any backbone? Is Ma Dongxiang even a good woman? Don’t think I don’t know. She’s been ordering you around, constantly throwing tantrums while she was with you. What’s so good about a woman like that? If she hadn’t gone and stirred up trouble, would our Sunx Family be forced into such a passive position? Do you understand the cost of family rivalries? Even if our Sunx Family wins, the losses will still be enormous!"
"Dad... I..." Sunx Mingli’s lips quivered twice, but he didn’t know what to say.
"Hmph, a great man does not lack wives. You haven’t even turned fifty yet. With the Sunx Family’s power and status, what kind of woman can’t you have? You could marry ten or eight if you wanted, and they’d all obey you and bear your children. A grown man brought to ruin over a woman—do you have no ambition left?"
"Dad... are you saying... you’re abandoning Dongxiang?" Sunx Mingli stammered.
