"Didn't my dad pay him the protection fee on time every month?"
Jiang Li was very puzzled.
Grandma Li sighed: "Hey, Pan Si and his gang are really bad."
"Due to your father's poor health during this period, he spent a lot of money on medicine. Therefore, the protection fee was delayed for a few days..."
"Pan Si asked his men to come twice. The first time, they smashed all the furniture in your house. The second time, they attacked your father directly."
"Xiao Li, promise Grandma Li, never go to Pan Si to argue. You can't fight them, and if you do, you might cause new trouble..."
"Do you understand what grandma means?" Grandma Li held Jiang Li's hand and asked worriedly.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "Grandma Li, I understand."
"Thank you for telling me in time. I'll go in and see my dad."
"Okay, go ahead." Grandma Li waved her hand.
Jiang Li and Su Changfeng pushed open the door and walked into the bungalow together.
The room was a bit damp and there wasn't much furniture. There was only a table, two chairs, and two beds, which made it seem a bit crowded.
The table and chairs were in tatters and had obviously been vandalized.
Lying on the bed was a thin man.
The man was also wearing an orange sanitation vest. His complexion was very poor, and there was a bandage on his right arm, with a little blood seeping from the surface of the bandage.
In addition, his face was also injured, with deep blood marks on the left and right sides of his face.
The man lay weakly on the bed, sighing.
"Dad, are you okay?"
Jiang Li's eyes instantly turned red, and he quickly walked to the bed, held his hand, and burst into tears.
This man is naturally Jiang Li's father, Jiang Hua.
Seeing Jiang Li, Jiang Hua forced a smile on his face.
"Xiao Li, aren't you in school? Why are you back?"
Jiang Li raised his hand and gently stroked his injured face and arm: "Dad...does it hurt?"
Jiang Hua smiled: "It doesn't hurt, I just fell down accidentally. Why are you crying?"
Jiang Li shook his head: "Dad, you don't have to lie to me, Grandma Li told me everything."
"It was Pan Si's men who injured you, right?"
Jiang Hua's eyes suddenly showed a trace of solemnity.
"Xiao Li, why are you asking about these things?"
After saying that, he seemed not to want to continue this topic, but looked at Su Changfeng aside.
"Xiao Li, who is this?"
Su Changfeng took the initiative and said: "Hello, Uncle Jiang, I am Xiaoli's friend. Xiaoli was very worried when she knew you were injured, so I sent her back."
Hearing that Su Changfeng had "dismissed" him so clearly, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Jiang Hua looked at his daughter's expression, then at Su Changfeng, and made a judgment in his heart.
"Get out of my house right now!" Jiang Hua looked at Su Changfeng and said coldly.
Su Changfeng was stunned.
Jiang Li was also surprised, "Dad, why are you talking to Brother Su like this?"
"Brother Su is here to help."
Jiang Hua shook his head, looked at Su Changfeng and said coldly: "You don't have to be secretive. I know you like my daughter, but it is impossible for my daughter to be with an ordinary person like you."
"Her future husband must be in the Imperial Capital!"
Su Changfeng smiled bitterly in his heart.
He had no such thoughts about Jiang Li. He was really overly worried.
Jiang Li frowned and said displeasedly: "Dad, you are overthinking. Brother Su and I are just ordinary friends."
"Also, don't tell me again that my future husband must be in the Imperial Capital! I don't want to hear it!"
Jiang Hua insisted: "I'm right, your future husband must be in the Imperial Capital."
