The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 515 Three Knocks

The warm sunlight from the sky sprinkled onto the ground, and at the entrance of the Charnoff estate, many of the underworld bosses from Country M were trembling with fear. The once spineless Li Yaguo from the Lis, from today on, was likely to be spineless no more. They were clear that Li Yaguo’s rise was entirely due to Ye Chenfeng, the young man from Huaxia Country. What had taken them a lifetime to achieve, Li Yaguo had surpassed in a mere moment, simply because he had chosen to stand by Ye Chenfeng from the start.

Just think about it, Ye Chenfeng was not only deeply involved with the four major families, but the President of Country M also showed strong favoritism towards him. As a friend of Ye Chenfeng, if Li Yaguo stayed in Country M to develop his career, his rise to power was a certain thing.

Li Yatian and Li Yanan, who were kneeling on the ground, realized that Li Yaguo had no intention of forgiving them. They became even more panicked, incessantly kowtowing to Li Yaguo. Trembling, Li Yatian said, "Yaguo, I’ll give Wu Dan back to you. I shouldn’t have taken your girlfriend back in the day."

"Yaguo, I’ll also return Zhou Xiaoli to you, just as long as you let us go today," Li Yanan also said immediately.

Wu Dan and Zhou Xiaoli, the two ashen-lipped young women, glanced at their husbands, then at their once-boyfriend Li Yaguo. They knew that the Lis were finished. Having grown accustomed to a lavish lifestyle over the years, if the Lis fell, they would be kicked out of high society. With Li Yaguo’s obvious rise, they truly hoped he would nod and let them return to his side as his women.

Li Yaguo glanced at Wu Dan and Zhou Xiaoli and asked in a flat voice, "Do you two still want to be my women?"

Wu Dan and Zhou Xiaoli’s faces lit up with joy, thinking that Li Yaguo still had feelings for them! These two young women eagerly nodded their heads, but unfortunately, the smile on Li Yaguo’s lips grew colder, "To think you two dare to nod. Do not forget, how did you betray me back then? How have you mocked and sneered at me over the years? Nevertheless, I don’t blame you, for that may just be your true nature. Fortunately, back then my so-called brothers used wealth to snatch you away."

"What, now that you see Li Yaguo is going to make a comeback, you want to return to my side? Where in this world would you find such a cheap deal? I give you each one minute to disappear from my sight, otherwise the gun in my hand doesn’t have eyes and won’t show mercy to beauty," he warned.

When Wu Dan and Zhou Xiaoli saw Li Yaguo point the gun at them, the two young women’s legs went weak, their faces instantly turned deathly pale, and their lips trembled as if they wanted to say something. But seeing Li Yaguo’s icy, ruthless face, the two young women chose to stagger away. They knew Li Yaguo would not accept them back.

Li Yaguo watched the stumbling forms of Wu Dan and Zhou Xiaoli retreat. Internally, he felt nowhere as relaxed as he appeared. After all, these two women were the only ones he had truly loved in his life. What a pity that his all-encompassing love of the past was met with betrayal not once, but twice.

Over the years, watching the two women he loved intimately interact with his so-called brothers in front of him, a rage had always smoldered within him, awaiting the day of his rise to utterly explode. However, he originally thought that this day of ascension might never come in his lifetime.

But then he met Ye Chenfeng. It was an instant connection with Ye Chen, and specifically when the Huaxia gang and the Charnoff family sought to deal with Ye Chenfeng, he exhibited courage for the first time in many years, yet it was precisely because of that courageous decision that his life changed, allowing him to stand tall and proud today.

No one dared to call him a good-for-nothing anymore.

The two so-called brothers who had once lorded over him in arrogance were now kneeling before him begging for mercy.

The two women who had once betrayed him and whom he had loved, now too had tasted the bitterness of regret.

The man who had always treated his mother as a lover, to the extent that his mother had never set foot in the Li household even on her deathbed, this man was now bowing to him as well. Furthermore, at this moment, this man did not dare to exert any fatherly authority before him.

This was the day Li Yaguo had longed for many years ago, a day he had yearned for day and night. All of this became possible because of a young man named Ye Chenfeng. Now, he was truly, truly grateful that he had made the right decision to join forces with Ye Chenfeng back then. Without that correct choice, he, Li Yaguo, might have remained a good-for-nothing for his entire life, never able to stand tall and proud before so many people.

Li Yaguo looked at Li Yatian and Li Yanan kneeling on the ground, his eyes growing colder by the moment. Over the years, he’d come to understand many truths: this was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. If Li Yatian and Li Yanan had the chance to kill him, they wouldn’t hesitate, so why should Li Yaguo show any mercy?

The dark muzzles of the guns were aimed at the heads of Li Yatian and Li Yanan. Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger twice, "Bang! Bang!" The sound of gunshots echoed in the surrounding air. Li Yatian and Li Yanan, kneeling on the ground, glared with unwilling eyes, but ultimately their bodies fell to the ground.

Li Hongjiang saw his eldest and second sons dead before his eyes, and it was as if all strength was drained from his body in an instant. He seemed to age a decade in the blink of an eye, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Li Yaguo looked at Li Hongjiang and said, "I didn’t kill you, not because you’ve been particularly good to me over the years, but because in a letter my mother wrote before she passed away, she said she’d never hated you and asked me not to bear a grudge against you either. However, you have been a terrible father. Leave now! I hope we never see each other again."

With a hunched back, Li Hongjiang looked at his youngest son, his illegitimate child, Li Yaguo, a wry smile crossing his lips. He truly hadn’t anticipated that his youngest would rise to power in Country M, all because of a single right decision. If only he had listened to Li Yaguo back then, even if he hadn’t wanted to help Ye Chenfeng, simply allowing Ye Chenfeng and his people to leave safely, perhaps the Lis wouldn’t have ended up like this.

Li Hongjiang didn’t tend to the bodies of Li Yatian and Li Yanan, his hunched figure slowly walking away under everyone’s gaze, growing more distant with each step, until he disappeared from Li Yaguo’s sight...

"Mr. Li, please forgive me for any past offenses. If you need anything in the future, just let me know, and I will take care of it perfectly for you."

"Mr. Li, I really must have a few drinks with you later. We must get together more often in the future."

...

As the people around watched the events come to a temporary close, they each started to vie for Li Yaguo’s attention, but Li Yaguo knew that all of this was because of Ye Chenfeng.

"Mr. Li, let us go inside the manor. The banquet must continue today," Rister said.

Li Yaguo simply nodded. The resentment he’d harbored for so many years had disappeared completely, leaving him feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart, an indescribable sense of desolation.

Berg, a core member of the Charnoff family, lay quietly in the manor, a gun in his right hand, blood continuously seeping from his head. As soon as he saw Ye Chenfeng and President Miller laughing and walking into the hall together, he knew he couldn’t escape his fate. So, he took a hidden gun from his shoe and chose to commit suicide, hoping that his death might secure his family’s safety.

Inside the Charnoff family mansion’s great hall, Ye Chenfeng, Miller, and Abert sat comfortably on the sofas, each holding a glass of red wine. The hall was already prepared with a variety of foods, available for anyone to take. Ye Chenfeng showed no restraint in front of President Miller, enjoying the food while chatting and laughing with him.

As Li Yaguo walked into the hall, he moved step by step towards Ye Chenfeng. When he was about a meter away from Ye Chenfeng, the man suddenly knelt down and said, "Brother Ye, please don’t urge me to stand up, otherwise I, Li Yaguo, truly wouldn’t have the face to live on. I don’t know how to thank you enough. As the saying goes in our Huaxia, ’A man’s knees are filled with gold,’ but without your help today, I, Li Yaguo, probably wouldn’t have been able to stand tall in Country M. Though I’ve always stood up in the past, I know that in those years, standing in others’ eyes made no difference from kneeling. These three bows are my sincere thanks to you, Brother Ye."

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" Li Yaguo didn’t hesitate to bow his head three times, even bleeding from the forehead. After completing the three kowtows, he laughed, a heartfelt, joyous laugh.
