The Timid Young Master and The Cold Assassin 6

Later, when Li Jiang came back from work, butler Zhu told him all that happened during the day and pleaded for him to take down the photo.

Li Jiang then summoned his older son. Li Yujin came in less than a minute. But his father didn't say anything and only stared at him. Li Yujin became uncomfortable: "Dad, why did you call me?"

"Don't you have anything to say to me concerning what happened today?"

Li Yujin pretended not to understand: "Did the school call you? But I've been behaving very well and don't remember doing anything wrong.

"Are you satisfied now?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

From the drawer, Li Jiang took out the phone that had still been in Li Yujin's possession earlier today and placed it on the table. On the phone screen was a photo of Li Zhang. He was beaten till his body was covered with purple marks and was in a very miserable state. This photo was taken a week ago.

As Li Jiang tapped the screen, more and more photos began to pop up, one that is worse than the other. Only today's own was very humiliating, anyone who saw it would think that Li Zhang was a male prostitute.

"What's your reason behind this?"

Li Yujin who had been playing dumb immediately became mute. His expression was extremely ugly.

"I only took this photo, the others were sent to me. It was the bastard Li Zhang that provoked others for them to beat him up. What does it have to do with me?"

"Oh, is that so?"

"Dad, all I did was watch on the side. Do I have to help him? It's his fault for being a son of a prostitute. Maybe his mother's dirty ways were passed on to him—"

"Pa! Pa! Pa!"

Li Jiang ruthlessly slapped Li Yujin, causing him to fall. Li Yujin stared in disbelief as he turned his head to look at his father. "You actually hit me because of him?

"You say that as if he's not my son." Li Jiang suppressed his anger and called the secret guard; "No.5, come and lock this young master up. He'll be granted for the entire week. Make sure to block his account."

After the order was given, No.5 appeared and took Li Yujin away.

[Li Zhang: System101, come out here!]

[System101: Master, you're away. Are you going to pay your debt? The pain barrier is twenty-five experience points.]

Hearing the system words, Li Zhang was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood. So if he didn't act fast and request a paint barrier, this system was going to watch him being beaten to death without help.

[Li Zhang: I have things to settle with you. First, you didn't give me all the information about this world. Second, you're not able to find the target location and you're also very slow in identifying them. Third, you're not alert and won't provide any assistance to help your master during a crisis. Lastly, you haven't told me about the level of this mission, the important people that are involved, and the storyline.]

[System101 was a little guilty: Sorry, master. This system is also new and hasn't explored all the functions yet. This is also my first mission so I made a lot of mistakes. The level of this mission is an A level. There are side quests to do once you meet with the people involved. Aside from capturing the target, the storyline is the whole plot, including the side characters. So even if you fail to capture the target, you will get the plot reward once the storyline is completed. As for other things, I'll work hard and be a good assistant to master.]

The system was also surprised after finding out the information about the mission. Usually, the other system would be given an E, D- or D leave mission when they first started. But his case is different. An A level for a complete beginner? Just completing the plot will be wonderful.

[Li Zhang: No problem, no problem. How's the situation now? You can use the monitor system to look.]

[The system immediately activated the monitor system: Master, Li Jiang seems to be coming to your room. He is forty seconds away.]

[Li Zhang: Okay, once he arrived let me know. It's time to increase the plot.]

[System101; Got it.]

The butler said Li Zhang refused to leave his room since he came from school. Li Jiang decided to go take a look at his son whom he hasn't paid attention to all these years. He hesitated for a while before opening the door. A teenager was lying on the bed muttering something to himself. Although the air conditioner was on, there was sweat on his forehead.

This child seems to be having a bad dream. He must be scared. It is very easy for someone to have nightmares after a traumatic experience.

He put a hand on his shoulder and started shaking him gently. "Li Zhang, wake up," he said softly. 

Li Jiang went closer and sat on the bed to hear what the child was muttering.

Li Zhang was roasting and turning. He screamed and sat up on the bed. When he saw someone on the bed that looked like his dad, with eyes still sleepy, he hugged the person. "Thank God you're still here. Don't abandon me, daddy. I'll be good, I'll do anything you say. I… I will study hard for the national exam and take a spot in the top five. Please don't abandon me. I don't want you to love me… just … just don't throw me away. I have nowhere to go." Li Zhang thought that wasn't very convincing and added: "I… I also have talent in music, I won't let you down. Once people see how outstanding I am, they'll want to form a good relationship with you. Then… then, uncles won't want to steal your position anymore."

"What did you say?! How much do you know?!" This has successfully grabbed Li Jiang's attention

"Huh?..." Li Zhang was shaken until he began dazy

Li Jiang thought that the boy didn't understand the question so he asked again: "What did you hear?"

"Oh, the second uncle said you're not qualified to be the company president and the first uncle said they should wait a while longer. When the old master sees that you don't have a successful hire, he will pressure you to step down… Oh yes, the first uncle also told brother Yujin not to pay attention to School if he didn't want to. He said that the Li family has money to support brother Yujin."

"How dare they?!" Li Jiang shouted angrily

"Daddy, don't abandon me, okay? I will work hard so their plan won't succeed."
