Chapter 596 - 596 592 Cutting Flesh!


596: Chapter 592: Cutting Flesh!


596: Chapter 592: Cutting Flesh!


The actions of the Li Family can only be described as “beyond the capacity of bamboos to record,” and their rise to power was built on the misfortune of the country and its people!


In collaboration with the Americans, they trafficked arms and, under the Americans’ instigation, covertly manipulated the presidential elections in South Korea, turning it into a vassal state of the United States;


They conspired with the Japanese to leak Korea’s scientific and technological research achievements, allowing Japan to lead the world in technology while South Korea’s technology remained stagnant…


—— These were major international events, but the Li Family also committed countless atrocities domestically!


They controlled Korea’s underworld gambling and usury, impoverishing many Korean citizens, and took control of the Korean police force, ensuring they turned a blind eye to the Li Family’s misdeeds.


Filling their pockets, they monopolized and suppressed the national economy, preventing South Korea’s national economy from advancing, with the GDP getting lower each year…


It’s worth mentioning that the crimes of the Li Family publicized by the Seoul Broadcasting Station were just a fraction of the confidential materials they received, but even this fraction was enough to outrage the public!


“To think that such things could happen…”


After listening to her colleague’s narration, Hua Meiyan didn’t know what to say.


In just a short period, the Li Family had suffered such a calamity, which was truly a delight to many.


But then again, the material documenting the Li Family’s crimes over the last 30 years had mysteriously been stolen and delivered to the television station.


Who could have such ability?


Her colleagues were equally curious about who had brought down the Li Family!


“Who has the capability to steal the Li Family’s confidential materials?


But whoever this person is, it’s unlikely that we’ll ever know!”


“The Li Family was just rampant in Korea.


In the grand scheme of Asia, they’re nothing to speak of, let alone the whole world!”


“I’ve heard that the Li Family offended a major power, one far stronger than the trivial Li Family!”


“Really?


What kind of power did the Li Family offend?”


“I heard it’s a major force that spans Asia and Europe, a power with countless world-class experts.


Their financial, material, and other resources far exceed the Li Family’s capabilities, but the name of this power is unknown to outsiders!”


“There’s such a power in the world?


Having offended such a power, the Li Family might never be able to rise again!”



Hearing her colleagues’ discussions, Hua Meiyan returned to her office, her face filled with skepticism.


Upon opening South Korea’s portal websites, Hua Meiyan saw numerous posts— the Li Family’s affairs had already blown up on the internet!


“The Li Family is finished!


They’re done for!


That’s great!


Now the Korean people will have better days!”


“Thanks to the major overseas force.


Although their name is unknown, there’s no doubt that they’re ridding us South Koreans of a scourge!”


“I hope this power will slap the Li Family hard, drag the three brothers out, and make sure they can never lift their heads again!”



Internet users were indignant, showing that the Li Family hadn’t done any good deeds over the years and the public had harbored grievances.


Now seeing the Li Family’s downfall, everyone was ecstatic.


Not one person spoke well of the Li Family, including Hua Meiyan’s colleagues, who, even as police officers, cursed the Li Family vehemently.


It was evident that this time, the Li Family was truly in jeopardy…


“Quick, look at the stocks!”


Upon hearing a loud shout, Hua Meiyan hurriedly switched to the South Korean stock market.


Out of sight, out of mind, but what she saw scared her!


Seoul Technology, Korean Air, New Trend Electronics, Financial Real Estate…


Under the Li Family’s banner, there were more than twenty corporate groups.


The stocks of these companies were all plummeting without exception, crashing against limit-down.


Even the stocks of the International Group, which the Li Family had just acquired, were the same.


Just one day before, they had hit the upper price limit due to a change in shareholders, but now they had plummeted…


All this left Hua Meiyan speechless!


The Li Family was wealthy and powerful, with so many corporate groups under their wing.


Just in stocks, they had more than a hundred billion won in funds!


To truly hit the Li Family’s stocks, it would require over ten times the money the Li Family had, smashing it down heavily, like holding a bomb and willing to go down with the enemy—a thankless task…


Who could have done such a thing?


Who would be willing to sacrifice so much money just to take down the Li Family, and what kind of force had the ability to do so?


Just as Hua Meiyan was puzzled, suddenly a phrase echoed in her ears—


“…


You should worry about your own situation first!”


This sentence was spoken by Ye Tian, right in front of the three Li brothers.


After Ye Tian uttered these words, Lee Haoming, the eldest of the Li brothers, received a phone call.


Could this really be a coincidence?


No, it couldn’t possibly be a coincidence!


Hua Meiyan subconsciously denied the possibility of it being coincidental.


Although she hadn’t known Ye Tian for long, his words still echoed in her ears.


This man, from the beginning until now, had never feared the Li Family.


Could it be that the downfall of the Li Family was truly related to Ye Tian?


A look of astonishment appeared on Hua Meiyan’s face!


Ye Tian was a man shrouded in an unfathomable sense of mystery.


His image lingered in her mind, impossible to shake off…


The stock prices of the companies under the Li Family plummeted to one-tenth of their original value within just two days.


In other words, the wealth of the three Li brothers had shrunk by ninety percent!


The collapse of the stocks brought about an unsettled public sentiment…


The employees of the companies under the Li Family had no heart to work.


The performance of these businesses kept sliding, leading to continuous losses…


In the past, the South Korean government would have intervened to investigate and pull the Li Family up, but because the Seoul TV station had released some of the Li Family’s incriminating evidence, the government had decided not to lend any support to the Li Family this time.


They watched indifferently as the Li Family collapsed.


The Li brothers had never experienced such a predicament before and spent their days busy with crisis PR, hoping to revive the Li Family.


But things did not go as desired.


In terms of strength, the three brothers were simply no match for the powerful foreign forces!


The stock continued to plummet, and it was fast approaching rock bottom.


At that point, the Li Family’s assets would further decrease in value, putting the entire Li Family in a position of negative assets and on the brink of bankruptcy.


Just as the stock of the Li Family’s enterprises was about to collapse, Lee Dong suddenly brought back a mysterious man!


This man, who claimed his last name was Xiong, was tall and built like a Chinese, but looked Russian.


Mr.


Xiong claimed to be of Chinese-Russian descent, but at this moment, what could the embattled Li Family afford to be choosy about?


If Mr.


Xiong could save the Li Family, who cared who he was?


“Mr.


Xiong, thank you for being willing to help the Li Family.


I just wonder how exactly you’re planning to help our Li Family out of this predicament?”


Lee Haoming asked in detail, and Mr.


Xiong just smiled.


“Although I am willing to help the Li Family, if your people are not willing to ‘cut your losses,’ I’m afraid I won’t be able to do anything.”


“Cut losses?”


Lee Haoming’s heart trembled.


He did not like the sound of “cut losses,” but the Li Family had already reached a dead end, and only by cutting losses could they protect themselves.


“Mr.


Xiong, how should our Li Family ‘cut our losses’ then?”


Li Zhongfa also asked eagerly.


As long as it could save the Li Family, what did it matter to bear some losses?


Mr.


Xiong laughed again and said, “Actually, it’s very simple.


If you sell all your companies to me, you can get out of your predicament!


Of course, if you cling to your assets and refuse to sell, then there’s nothing I can do.


Once these businesses go bankrupt and liquidate, you won’t get a penny!”


“Sell them all to you…”


Lee Dong’s face was bitter.


Selling all their enterprises to Mr.


Xiong meant that the Li Family would no longer wield any power; all they would have was the money to live on in retirement.


“What’s the matter?


You’re not willing?” Mr.


Xiong glanced at the three brothers and said, “Now the stock of the Li Family has already hit rock bottom and can’t be sold at all.


Do you want to see the stocks turn into waste paper and end up penniless, or do you want to sell all your companies to me and have some money for the rest of your life?”


No matter how you looked at it, selling off the stocks for money was the only choice in front of the three Li brothers.


Although it was painful to ‘cut the flesh,’ Lee Haoming, as the eldest of the brothers, had no choice but to agree to Mr.


Xiong’s terms with a heavy heart.


“Alright!


We’ll sell!


We’ll sell all of the Li Family’s enterprises to you!”


Lee Haoming nodded firmly.


Time was of the essence, and fearing further changes, he immediately brought out the documents and signed the sales contract with Mr.


Xiong.


Although the Li Family was weakened, a camel, even when it’s starved, is bigger than a horse.


Selling their enterprises to Mr.


Xiong would still bring in some money, enough for the three brothers to use…


As the three Li brothers and Mr.


Xiong were signing the contract, Yun Xinyan and other employees from Yun Corporation visited Ye Tian in prison.


When the Li Family was at its zenith, Yun Xinyan and the others had no chance to visit the prison, but since the Li Family was about to collapse, those prison guards trained by the Li Family no longer adhered to the Li Family’s influence.


Yun Xinyan had just managed to communicate briefly before successfully entering the prison…


“My dear wife, I’ve missed you so much!”


When Ye Tian saw Yun Xinyan arrive, he immediately displayed a lascivious grin.


Yun Xinyan took one look at Ye Tian and felt a mix of irritation and amusement!


Ever since Ye Tian had been taken away by the police to prison, Yun Xinyan had been anxious all day, fearful that something might happen to Ye Tian in jail.


Today, bringing the employees of Yun Corporation to visit the prison, Yun Xinyan had also prepared some delicacies for Ye Tian, worried he might be starving in jail, and had prepared a bellyful of heartfelt words to share with him.


But Ye Tian had adopted such a carefree attitude that all the tension in Yun Xinyan evaporated…
