He was not surprised by this result. Ye Yizhe just felt that it was right that Li Xiaomiao was not here today. Besides, if Li Zhenhong agreed to him so easily, he would not be the military man who had been in a high position for so many years and still no one could shake his position.
As the second-in-command, he would not make a bet easily without seeing enough future in himself.
"What? Did you expect that?"
Seeing Ye Yizhe's expression, Li Zhenhong probably guessed what he was thinking. When Ye Yizhe nodded, he continued, "Actually, we all know the reason for my disagreement. I will not bet the entire Li family, and even if
I agreed and you can't get too much from me. Originally, I did wonder if you came here for the power of the Li family, but just now, this thought was taken away from me."
He also said in a helpless tone: "You have people like Tiff and Bonaparte around you. In fact, the Li family really doesn't have much support."
Although the Li family has a great status in the military, China's top leaders have always believed in games. No one will really watch another person doing something indifferently, and no one will willingly let the other person do it.
I have to say that this is a result of thousands of years of internal strife. They habitually use some thick and dark theories to treat people around them. If the Li family really wants to help Ye Yizhe, they will definitely be restrained by several other families.
, if we say the role is definitely not greater than that of the Holy See and the Mafia.
Ye Yizhe said softly: "Actually, I have never thought about this."
"I know." Li Zhenhong said with a smile, "Originally, it came to my mind, but when I thought that you are a disciple of Gu Tianhe and a descendant of the Living Buddha, the thought has faded away. After all, if it is not true,
It is impossible for a very good person to be favored by them. There are not many people in Plateau Province whom I value. Master Zheyang is one of you. I have been helping to conceal Zhetianci’s identity all these years. It is for this reason."
Ye Yizhe suddenly realized that he had always had some doubts about this. Zhe Tianci, who came out with nothing back then, logically would not be able to climb to where he is today, especially for a high-level person like the Central Bank, who has no backstage and can definitely rest assured.
The background is impossible.
Unexpectedly, this identity was given by Li Zhenhong.
He knew that with Li Zhenhong's caution, it was impossible to completely trust him. It is estimated that the little remaining doubts had just disappeared. Bonaparte and Tiff were indeed very effective. They were brought out at this time.
It is very suitable for a fox to pretend to be a tiger.
"Then you still don't agree..."
Ye Yizhe muttered softly, but kept the volume high enough for the other party to hear.
The aggrieved tone made Li Zhenhong couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "You, like your master, are a slippery man."
"I said that I will not gamble with the Li family. I believe Xiaomiao would do the same in my position. Your identity is too sensitive. I also know that you are planning to have a fight with the Long Gang. Under such a premise
The Li family is not suitable to be involved, so I cannot agree to the matter between you and Xiaomiao. Once others notice the Li family, it will not be good for the Li family, and it will also be bad for you."
“It’s not always best to have support.”
Ye Yizhe nodded understandingly and said, "I understand this. After all, if a behemoth like the Li family declares support for the Qing Gang at this time, I am afraid that it will directly let the Dragon Gang unite with other big families. By then, it will only be the Li family that will be destroyed. Who will
Everyone wants to see the evidence of the Li family, and once those people who are worried about not having a chance find out, they will definitely take out everything that can be used against the Li family as if they have stolen it."
The Li family itself was troubled, so he was not surprised by this result.
"If I was the only one in the Li family, I would never care. But now there are dozens of people, and there are more people who rely on the Li family. I can't leave them behind. Just like Shaogang and the others, they are also Xiaomiao's relatives.
If she knew about it, she would definitely agree with what I did."
Ye Yizhe knew that what he said was true, but it was impossible for him to accept his fate like this. He just heard him continue: "Actually, this situation is what you want to see, old man."
Whether Li Xiaomiao is in politics or the military, the Li family can give her the best help. She has never listened to her family's ideas until this time because of Ye Yizhe.
So to the Li family, he is a hero in a sense.
He knew this very well.
This is also his biggest bargaining chip. Although Li Zhenhong doesn't want Li Xiaomiao to be with him, he will never let her leave her, because he knows very well that once he leaves, Li Xiaomiao's strings will be very tight.
It might be about to break.
Li Zhenhong did not deny this fact, and nodded: "Except for Xiaomiao being a little tired and suffering, everything is fine now. This is the journey she must go through to embark on this road, but have you ever thought about it, if
If the news about you two is made public, how much impact will it have on her?"
Ye Yizhe fell silent.
If it is really announced, and she is not the only woman around him, no one can tell how bumpy her career will be. Fortunately, she is still very young, and like Li Ruxue, she has remained single until then.
There will be nothing, but it will be different if it is really announced.
"If she can't reach a certain status, she will be of no use to the Li family or you. You have to recognize this fact. Even for this, I can't agree to you. I can't take Xiao Miao with me.
My whole life is at stake."
Li Zhenhong's words were a bit serious. Ye Yizhe paused for a while and then said slowly: "Old man, I respect you, but you are still wrong on this point. To me, she is Xiaomiao, the unique Xiaomiao, no matter she is a commoner
Whether she is a commoner or a noble person, she is an indispensable part of my life. It is impossible for me to treat her better just because of how much help she can bring me, and it is even more impossible for me to treat her better just because she can do everything.
If you lose her, you will never love her again, this is very important."
"so what?"
Ye Yizhe couldn't tell what the other party was feeling from his words. He just said what he wanted to say, many things he wanted to say to Li Xiaomiao but had never expressed before her family.
"The Li family is a family I respect, especially the old man, who I have admired since childhood. It would be a lie to say that I am not nervous at all in front of you, but the reason for this is not because you are Li Xiaomiao.
I am like this just because of those well-known things back then. Even if you were a member of the Ding family of the Chu family, I would still maintain this attitude. So if Li Zhenhong's name is used to say this to me, I agree, I
I admit that it is indeed inappropriate for Xiaomiao, but admitting does not mean that I will accept my fate. I will not follow it, because in my heart she is her, and no one can make any decision for her. If one day she makes her own decision and plans to leave,
Then I will let go, and I will hold my fist tightly until that day comes."
Li Zhenhong stared at Ye Yizhe closely, trying to see what he was thinking from his eyes. Ye Yizhe also looked at him without fear, not treating him as the second-in-command of the military department at all. At this moment, he
Not giving in at all, he knew he couldn't give in. Once he gave in, it would be the greatest injustice to Li Xiaomiao, just like what he said.
"Then if I say no to you as Li Xiaomiao's elder, you can't bear to let her get along with her family because of you, let her even run away from home for you and completely leave the environment where she was born and raised.
Do you think it's fair for her to make a choice between her relationship and her family?"
Ye Yizhe suddenly laughed when he heard this.
Then he looked at Li Zhenhong who looked at him doubtfully and said, "If you are Xiaomiao's elder, then what reason do you have to sacrifice her happiness?"
Li Zhenhong is not an unreasonable person, and it is precisely because he knows this that he is so unscrupulous.
"Then why should I believe that you can give her happiness?"
Listening to the other party's somewhat nonsense words, Ye Yizhe continued: "Just because I am Ye Yizhe, I am the man Xiaomiao chose!"
Three words, Ye Yizhe, are enough.
"If you don't plan to use family reasons to restrain her, then letting her choose is the best answer for her. Do you really think that the third generation of the best people cultivated by the Li family can even choose their own feelings?
Don’t you have all the abilities?”
Li Zhenhong still shook his head and said: "I said I am not convinced by you, and you said you are not convinced by me. I still say the same thing. These reasons are not enough for me to hand her over to you."
Looking at the opponent who was obviously planning to deliberately make things difficult, Ye Yizhe couldn't tell what he was thinking deep down. However, he was still Li Xiaomiao's elder. He couldn't use any special means, otherwise he would just give him up.
You can be arrested or coerced.
Ye Yizhe said slowly: "I won't let him go. Xiaomiao will be unhappy if we remain in a stalemate like this."
"You won't tell her, and neither will I. She won't know."
"If that's the case, how could she know your decision?"
If she didn't know Li Zhenhong's decision, then how could she leave her and fulfill his wish.
"She doesn't need to know." Li Zhenhong said, "I know Xiaomiao better than you do. Once she decides something, no one can take it back, so even if she knows, she won't have any idea, but it will make her
Be a little confused, we are all doing it for her own good, so we won’t tell her, I know.”
Ye Yizhe was stunned.
He finally understood what the other party was thinking.
I'm afraid it's not that Li Zhenhong disagrees, he just feels unwilling to see the granddaughter he has taken care of for so many years belong to someone else. It feels like a child having his candy taken away. And if it really becomes a fact, then the Li family will
There was really no one in the third generation to take over, so he took out all these consequences on himself, wanting to vent his frustrated emotions from himself.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said this.
After thinking about this, Ye Yizhe bowed and said: "Since she is betting her life, I can't let her lose. Don't worry."
