Chapter 852: Princess Li Thoroughly Awakens!

Li Zhongling gradually adapted to prison life, spending every day in a very regular manner with a fixed schedule, and his days were actually quite fulfilling.

However, whenever the night was deep and quiet, he would always be enveloped by a heart-wrenching pain.

He was like a wild tiger locked in a zoo, having completely lost his freedom, living as a walking corpse.

During the first few days after Li Zhongling entered prison, he was also often bullied by others.

He had to help the old inmates in the prison wash their underwear every day, and once he disobeyed, he would be beaten up.

Later, the attitude of those people toward him gradually changed; Li Zhongling knew clearly in his heart that it must have been his daughter who had pulled strings for him in secret.

He had long since regarded his daughter as his only straw to clutch at.

He felt fortunate that he had made the decision to send Li Na abroad back then.

He felt that he still had a chance to strive for a sentence reduction and leave this hellhole sooner.

The guard knocked on the iron door: "Prepare yourself, someone is coming to visit you tomorrow."

Li Zhongling asked cautiously: "May I ask who is coming to visit?"

"The visitor is Li Na," the guard replied.

"Alright, thank you, officer."

The next morning, before seeing Li Na, Li Zhongling carefully tidied up his appearance.

Walking into the visiting room, Li Zhongling squeezed out a smile.

Li Na looked very sharp, wearing professional attire, her eyes clear and bright; compared to the last time they met, there was much less anxiety and unease on her face.

As soon as Li Zhongling sat down, Li Na spoke softly: "Dad, I have good news to tell you, Hongling Group has already weathered the crisis."

A flash of surprise instantly crossed Li Zhongling's eyes: "Really? That's great! How did you do it?"

In fact, Li Zhongling had originally judged that Hongling Group would soon face a capital chain rupture because he had been arrested;

In this market where the strong prey on the weak, it would inevitably attract the attention of other competitors, who would then carve up Hongling's business market.

So he knew it clearly!

What was left for Li Na!

Was a riddled mess.

"The Government helped us communicate with the banks, and they are willing to continue lending to us. There are also new enterprises willing to inject capital into us. Now we already have five hundred million in our account!"

Li Zhongling let out a long sigh of relief, not hiding the approval in his eyes: "I really didn't misjudge you; you are much more reliable than that brat Li Tian. When I sent you abroad back then, it was because I hoped you could receive the best education and take over for me in the future. You have never let me down."

Li Na sighed softly.

Li Zhongling did not know!

That the years she spent studying abroad were actually not easy at all.

Living alone in a foreign land, especially as a girl, requires extremely strong psychological resilience to hold on.

And she also knew that deep down, Li Zhongling still favored Li Tian more.

"Dad, I came to see you this time just to put your mind at ease. You stay well inside; I will hold up Hongling Group."

Li Zhongling nodded slightly, then a flash of pleading crossed his eyes: "When Hongling Group is completely stable, find a way to save Li Tian, okay?"

Li Na shook her head and sighed helplessly: "Dad, I have already consulted a Lawyer. Li Tian's case has basically been finalized; even if we appeal, it won't be of much use."

A flash of regret crossed Li Zhongling's eyes, and he sighed helplessly: "I do have responsibility for him becoming like this. Actually, I discovered his mental problems a long time ago. At that time, he was still in school, and the teacher suggested letting him go for treatment, but I didn't take it seriously back then. Sigh, if I had let him take medicine and get treatment earlier, he wouldn't have ended up like this."

Li Na did not comment too much.

If it were someone else, they might think Li Tian deserved to die, but he was her relative after all.

Li Zhongling suddenly lowered his voice and said in a heavy tone: "I have been reviewing things in prison, unable to figure out how things turned out like this. Later, I finally found the reason—the culprit is Tang Ye. Li Na, you must remember, Tang Ye is our enemy!"

Li Na bit her lip tightly.

She originally wanted to avoid this topic, but seeing Li Zhongling's eyes full of hatred, she began to hesitate whether she should clarify things.

"Dad! Actually, Tang Ye only did what he should have done. You and Li Tian are facing legal sanctions because you did the wrong things yourselves."

Li Zhongling stared at Li Na in disbelief: "You, you, how can you speak for that dog?"

Li Na sighed: "I am just being realistic. If you hadn't illegally mined private mines back then, and Li Tian hadn't killed anyone, how could these things have happened? Dad, there is one more thing I must tell you: Hongling being able to survive the crisis is inseparable from Tang Ye's help. The one who injected capital into us was Ruilin Group, and it was Tang Ye who pulled the strings!"

Li Zhongling widened his eyes, only feeling that his daughter was terrifyingly like a stranger: "Are you really my, Li Zhongling's, daughter? How can you speak for the enemy!"

"Dad, it is a fact that he set a trap back then, leading to your arrest. But there is another fact: he is my benefactor. If it weren't for him, Hongling Group would never have turned from danger to safety, and I would have been killed by Liang Shiyu." Li Na's eyes were filled with tears, and she said in a pleading tone, "Dad, you have already made a mistake once; you must adjust your mindset well and don't keep making mistakes!"

Li Zhongling pounded the table angrily: "Mistake? Where did I go wrong! I was just lucky and ate the dividends of the policy, but in our era, among those who made a fortune, how many had clean hands?"

The guard saw Li Zhongling's agitated emotions and immediately walked over quickly.

Li Na hurriedly explained to the guard: "It's okay, he's just a little agitated, no need to worry."

Afterwards, Li Na wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said firmly: "Dad, no matter what you think, I have already made my decision. From now on, Hongling Group will walk the right path. As for what you said about taking revenge on Tang Ye, I will not follow blindly."

Li Zhongling's eyes were full of shock, and he was so angry that his whole body was trembling: "Do you think your wings have hardened and you dare to disobey me!"

Li Na looked at Li Zhongling helplessly: "It's not that my wings have hardened, it's that the times have changed. I have to go; I will find a chance to come see you again later."

Li Zhongling looked at his daughter's departing back, wanting to scold her loudly, but held it back by force.

He knew very well that whatever he said at this moment was meaningless.

Less than two months after his arrest, Li Na had undergone such a huge change.

And what terrified Li Zhongling the most was that Li Na seemed to have been bewitched, treating Tang Ye as a benefactor.

You must know, Li Na was his last bargaining chip for a comeback.

His own daughter's lack of understanding and "betrayal"!

This caused Li Zhongling to fall completely into endless hesitation and pain!

For a moment, old tears streamed down his face, not knowing if it was retribution!

Actually, there was a voice in his heart telling him.

Li Na was not wrong!

She had merely awakened!

However, you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep!

Therefore, Li Zhongling was unwilling to accept this fact!
