Chapter 2405 The mastermind behind the scenes finally lost his hands!
"No, no, no! Wait a minute! I plead guilty!"
The moment he saw Ling Tian's actions, a sense of fear rushed from Li Tao's feet to his head.
His body was shaking uncontrollably, his face was pale, and his voice had a hint of crying.
At this moment, Li Tao seemed to feel a fear he had never felt before.
He quickly crawled to Ling Tian, knelt down, and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Lin Qi's matter was my fault. I shouldn't have been so anxious, but I was indeed prepared not to take action at that time. It was you who scared me! You made me feel threatened!"
"Ling Tian! You are the biggest factor in Lin Qi's death. If it weren't for you, he would definitely not have died. But I know that I also made some small mistakes, so I apologize to you, but you can't kill me for this!"
"Ling Tian, you can't be unreasonable!"
As if in order to find a glimmer of hope, Li Tao directly blamed Ling Tian for Lin Qi's death.
Perhaps he thought that as long as he let Lin Qi know that this matter was his fault, he would not have to die.
Unexpectedly, Ling Tian just smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Do you... really think this is my problem?"
Hearing this, Li Tao nodded hurriedly: "Yes! This is your problem, but don't worry, I won't blame you, you...ah!!!"
Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain in his hand. He couldn't help but yelled. Then he looked down and found that all four of his fingers had been cut off by Ling Tian.
The miserable screams echoed throughout the basement.
Li Qian stood aside, sighed, turned and left the room.
But when he saw Li Qian leaving, Li Tao was immediately deflated. Hope disappeared from his eyes in an instant, and there was deep despair.
Because he knew that when the Li family gave up on him, Ling Tian would definitely take action against him.
If a person can cut off his own fingers in front of his father, does he need to expect him to feel sorry for him and not kill him?
Li Tao knew what he had done, so he slowly closed his eyes, knelt down, and murmured: "I... accept death!"
"No, you won't wait for death. I will make you wait for death your whole life, but you will never die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tian raised the Jade Blood Sword and approached Li Tao.
Five minutes later, Ling Tian walked out of the basement, shook his hands, his eyes full of indifference. He looked at Li Qian, who was waiting at the door. A trace of heartache flashed in her eyes as she listened to Li Tao's cries. She said, "You can call the doctor in. If he's quick, he might still survive."
After saying that, Ling Tian turned around and walked upstairs. When he arrived at the living room, he found Li Meng sitting on the sofa, so he walked over to him and sat down.
"Uncle Li."
"Solved?" Li Meng turned and asked, "Killed him?"
"No." Ling Tian shook his head. "I just cut off all his fingers and then his legs. He will have to be taken care of for the rest of his life. Even if he wants to commit suicide, he can't. What I need is pain, not death."
The moment he heard Ling Tian's words, Li Meng closed his eyes in pain.
Although he hated Li Tao deeply, he was still his son after all.
When Li Meng heard that his son would live in pain for the rest of his life, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
But it’s true that I feel heartbroken, and it’s also true that I don’t want to save him.
Because Li Tao did something wrong, if he had only attacked Lin Qi, perhaps Li Meng would have pleaded for his son.
However, all of his daughter's fiancés were killed by him, and the reason was absurd, thinking that the Li family would fall into his hands.
Li Meng has already given up on this son and doesn't want to see Li Meng appear in the Li family villa again.
Li Meng sat on the sofa, his eyes full of fatigue, as if what Li Tao did today had made him look ten years older in an instant.
Ling Tian noticed that Li Meng was in a bad mood. Just as he was about to stand up and say goodbye, Li Meng looked over and asked, "My friend, will you still provide help to the Li family?"
Hearing this, Ling Tian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Uncle Li, what do you mean by this? Are you afraid that I'll regret it?"
"Ah!" Li Meng sighed. "If it were before, I would definitely not doubt it, but now, your best brother died at the hands of my son. I'm afraid you might harbor a grudge and be unwilling to help the Li family. If you have this idea, I hope you can tell me earlier."
Li Meng paused at this point, turned to look at Ling Tian and said, "After all, I don't want to be waiting for you to show up when facing the Wang family, only to be defeated in that expectation. You know, that's not a good thing."
"Yeah." Ling Tian nodded. "I understand Uncle Li's thoughts, but don't worry, I don't want to give up on the Li family. I've already punished Li Tao for what happened, and my hatred has been released. So I won't impose this useless hatred on Uncle Li anymore."
"So, Uncle Li, rest assured. I will continue to help the Li family. Even if I can't completely eliminate the threat from the Wang family for you, I will do my best. At least during the wedding, I will protect the Li family. After the wedding, I believe there will be many families willing to cooperate with the Li family."
As soon as these words were spoken, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Li Meng's face.
He stared blankly at Ling Tian, feeling his brain wasn't working properly. He swallowed hard and said, "You're saying... after the Wang and Lin families' wedding, will other families want to rebel against the Wang family?"
"Well, but this is just speculation." Ling Tian nodded. "Uncle Li, think about it yourself. No matter how powerful the Wang family is, no matter how great the strength is, no matter how great the threat is, there will definitely be some families who don't want to live under the shadow of the Wang family for the rest of their lives."
"What we need is to find these families and draw out their anger. As long as we can successfully win over a few families, our chances of winning will greatly increase, and there will definitely be no problems!"
Ling Tian finished speaking softly, and Li Meng realized it belatedly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Yes!
They can take a gamble and see if there is any family willing to join the Li family in resisting the Wang family's rule.
If a family could really show up, it would definitely increase the chances of success for the resistance. Then, maybe we could actually succeed!!
Thinking of this, Li Meng took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand, my friend. This matter is indeed as you said. There is such a possibility. I hope there will be a few families willing to join us!"
"Well, we can't rush this. All we can do now is prepare for the wedding."
Hearing this, Li Meng raised his eyebrows and said, "My friend, how should we prepare? Didn't we say we won't participate?"
"No!" Ling Tian shook his head: "We must participate, and let everyone know that we... are here!"
