Official Li's speculations

Hearing Young Master Li's blatant words, the crowd gasped in shock and surprise.

Shen Xiaozhang's face darkened and he clenched his fist tightly. "Presumptuous!!!!" he yelled loudly, his anger-filled eyes glaring daggers at Young Master Shen. While his heart was shrouded with worry and fear when he heard those bold words. When did this fool see him kiss Jiang Muxun? Dammit!!! Thankfully, these words came out from the mouth of a fool and that's why he had an advantage. Nobody would believe in a fool's words and that's why he had no issues or problems. However, he cannot let this continue. Who knows what this fool will say next which would be detrimental to his reputation as well as Jiang Muxun's?

"Young Master Li," Shen Xiaozhang gritted his teeth in anger. "You cannot say such unreasonable words! You are ruining my reputation."

"Humph!" Young Master Li snorted. "Did I say something wrong? Weren't you kissing you woman, Jiang Muxun? I saw it with my own eyes. Also, if you are not afraid of ruining your reputation then you shouldn't kissy-kissy that beautiful woman in broad daylight. Also, you shouldn't steal somebody else's money to make your woman happy."

"Humph! I would never do that for my own woman," Young Master Li patted his chest proudly. "I would use my own money to make her happy. Unfortunately, that money was stolen by you."

"Y-you!!!!" Shen Xiaozhang's face turned red and green from anger. He was so angry that his entire body was tensed up and his blood was boiling under his veins. He glared at Young Master Li fiercely as he wanted to kill him. If it wasn't for his reputation and the crowd, he would have already beaten this man severely.

Young Master Shen narrowed his eyes and looked at the fool. So what if he can't beat this fool in front of everybody? He can do it secretly and nobody would notice. He flicked his hand and his finger rotated in a circle. Just when he was about to make a move, a loud stern voice interrupted him. "WHAT IS GOING ON OVER HERE?"

Shen Xiaozhang recognized this voice and he stopped his actions. Immediately, the crowd looked over in shock. Soon, they noticed a tall man walking over, in a splendid and calm manner. His clothes looked luxurious and he carried within a presence of a calm, serene man. Everyone made way for the man as he walked towards Young Master Li with four fierce guards behind him. This man was none other than the Young Official Li. This man was not only very charming but he was also one of the most admired officials by the current emperor. He was an upright official and had a very big position in the court. Many people admired him and looked up to him.

Official Li walked towards his son and looked all over him. Seeing that he wasn't hurt anywhere, Official Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Only he knew how worried he was when he got to know about this situation. He looked at his son and couldn't help but feel distressed for him. No matter what the other people think, he loved his son very much. Everybody thought that his son was a fool, but he knew that his son was actually very simple with a pure heart. That's why many people tried to take advantage of him.

Hence, he organized a guard to take care of his son. However, yet many of the times, his naught son would fall into such situations. From one of his secret guards, he got to know about this situation and he quickly rushed over. This matter wasn't simple as everyone thought it to be. From all that he heard, he could tell that his son wouldn't blame someone recklessly. If he was saying that Shen Xiaozhang stole his money, then he was speaking the truth. However, at the same time, he also knew about Shen Xiaozhang's nature. Why would a rich man such as Shen Xiaozhang steal money from his son?

His son wasn't lying but at the same time, Shen Xiaozhang was also telling the truth. Then this could only mean one thing. When two people are speaking the truth, that means that third was lying. But who was this third person? Why did he frame Shen Xiaozhang? And, why did he use his son to frame Shen Xiaozhang?

Given the situation, Official Li sighed and knew that he had no time to worry about the unknown third person. He had to handle this situation properly and get his son out of this. As for what that hidden person was planning, he didn't want to care about this. "Son, are you okay?" he asked carefully.

Young Master Li smiled and nodded at his father. Looking back at Shen Xiaozhang, he frowned and complained. "Daddy, this thief stole my money!!! You help me get it back."

Official Li sighed, patted his son's head, and nodded. "Okay."

He looked back at Shen Xiaozhang and Shen Bofeng. "Master Shen, I apologized for what Ali did to you. I am very sorry for the ruckus he caused in front of your house. These are a few things I brought to compensate for what my son did to Young Master Shen. I hope Young Master Shen forgives my son for what he did."

Shen Bofeng smiled while Shen Xiaozhang looked at the boxes which were being carried by the guards. Internally, he was extremely happy to see these boxes. Official Li was a rich man and he was sure that there must be something good in these boxes. Even though there was a lot of greed and happiness in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. Shen Xiaozhang smiled at Official Li and nodded. "I can understand, Master Li. You don't have to -"

However, before he could complete his words, Young Master Li interrupted loudly. "Daddy, why are you apologizing to this thief???" he asked and looked at his father with a pitiful gaze. His eyes brimmed with tears when he saw his father apologizing even when it was not his fault. Young Master Li pulled his father's sleeves and implied, "Daddy, you trust me!!! I AM NOT LYING. This man really stole my money and threatened to kill me."
