le!" Lu Yue said angrily: "With Dongzhou's capabilities, how can it possibly compete with the Dark Realm""It's simple, because I'm in Dongzhou!" Ling Hao said calmly."Damn it!" Lu Yue blurted out a cu..."Got it!" Lu Yue nodded, then seemed to suddenly remember something.

"By the way, big brother, I've got the results for what you asked me to look into last time."

Five years ago, your foster family's funeral arrangements were handled by the Li family. They also arranged for the cemetery upkeep.

"Are you sure" Ling Hao's eyes lit up.

Five years ago, after the Zheng family's incident, he was saved by Qin Yuxin and then taken away by an old man. He had no heart to attend to the Zheng family's funeral.

He originally thought that no one would dare to take care of his adoptive father's family affairs, at most the police department would arrange someone to deal with it simply.

Not long ago, he learned from the judge's mouth that back then, a kind person had stepped forward to handle the funeral arrangements for the entire Zheng family.

He asked the judge to investigate who was responsible, but there were no results. It seemed that those who had appeared at the time were no longer in Dongzhou.

To my surprise, it was made by the Li family.

The Li family is a family in the second echelon of Dongzhou.

Before the Zheng family's downfall, the Li family had a very good relationship with them. Many of the Li family's businesses had partnerships with the Zheng family.

Ling Hao has always had a good impression of the Li family, especially the elderly patriarch. He spent twenty or thirty years in the military camp when he was young, with an upright and righteous demeanor, strong and unwavering.

Perhaps this is also why he was able to stand up and help with Zheng's family affairs during such a turbulent time!

"Hmm!" Lu Yue nodded. "And precisely because of this reason, the Li family has had a very difficult time these past few years!"

The Wang and Tao families have joined forces to suppress their own family. The Li family is now not even ranked among the top third-tier families in Dongzhou.

"Zhao family didn't participate" Ling Hao's eyes flashed with a trace of ferocity as he asked.

"On the surface, the Zhao family didn't seem to be involved in Li family's affairs!" Lu Yue nodded. "I guess they don't look down on Li family's assets, so they left it to Wang Tao."

And, it is said that Old Master Li was severely injured by people arranged by the Wang family and the Tao family. Not only did he lose all his cultivation, but he was also left with a disability.

Phew!

Hearing this, a surge of icy rage erupted from Ling Hao's body, his eyes hardening into sharp points.

"Go to Li's house!" Ling Hao said in a low voice after a brief pause.

"Received!" Lu Yue nodded and stepped on the gas pedal.

Li's Garden, located near a park on the east side of town, is not too big nor too small.

Five years ago, Li's Garden was bustling with activity.

Five years later, this place is deserted.

Before the incident, Li's conglomerate companies had an annual output value of at least hundreds of millions, and the profits were also very substantial.

At that rate of development, in just a few years, it is expected to enter the ranks of the top families in Dongzhou.

However, since the incident, Wang Tao and the two families have joined forces to suppress Li's Group. They also threatened that any company that continues to cooperate with Li's Group will be against them.

Thus, overnight, all the major clients of Li's Group up and down the supply chain terminated their cooperative relationships, causing the Li's Group to be paralyzed for a time.

While the two powerful families took advantage of the situation to carve up Li's family assets, many subsidiaries were forcibly acquired at rock-bottom prices.

Over several years, the Li Group's output value plummeted to less than five hundred million yuan. They also borrowed four or five hundred million yuan from banks, finding themselves on the brink of bankruptcy with debts exceeding assets.

Now, the Lee family's assets consist of this ancestral mansion and a teahouse in the city center.

"Grandpa, the weather is lovely today. I'll push you out to the courtyard to get some sun." A young woman's voice rang out.

A young woman in her twenties pushed a wheelchair out of a villa, with an elderly man with white hair sitting in it.

The two people were Li Xiulong, the old master of the Li family, and his granddaughter, Li Zixuan.

"Haha, great!" Li Xue-min laughed heartily.

Although his legs are disabled, the old man seems to have a good spirit.

"Grandpa, what did that expert say after examining your body yesterday Can he cure you" The two arrived at the courtyard, and Li Zixuan asked.

"It's been too long, I can't do anything about it!" A barely perceptible trace of gloom flashed across Li Xue Min's eyes.

"Even he can't do anything about it" Li Zixuan's face flashed with disappointment, and she let out a sigh.

"Don't cry, little one. I've gotten used to it these past few years," Li Xue Min smiled and said.

"Just reading a book and basking in the sun every day, it's quite nice!"

"Grandpa, do you regret it" Li Zi Xuan suddenly asked.

"What are you regretting" Li Xuemin asked.

Five years ago, if our Li family hadn't let people handle the Zheng family's affairs, there wouldn't have been so many things that happened later, and your body wouldn't have had problems." Li Zixuan responded.

"Come on, Xiaoyao! Remember this!" Li Xuemin said in a mysterious tone.

"In a person's life, the most important thing is to prioritize inner peace. No matter what difficulties arise, one should always follow their heart and go with the flow."

Perhaps, to outsiders, I, Li Xue Min, did a foolish thing back then. The Zheng family was gone, and for this, I jeopardized the future of the Li family.

But, I tell you, if I hadn't done that five years ago, I would be living a much messier life!

"Because, I can't get past my own hurdle!"

And now, I live a life of peace and contentment! That's enough, isn't it

"Hmm!" Li Zixuan nodded, seeming to understand but not quite.

"Besides, you have to believe that everything is caused by cause and effect, good and evil will eventually be rewarded!" Li Xuemin continued.

"I understand!" Li Zi Xuan nodded again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just then, a sound of chaotic footsteps arose.

A man with a fierce face and a sturdy build, his head shaved, led twenty to thirty tattooed men into the courtyard.

"Damn it, it's you guys again! What the hell do you want" Seeing the other party, Li Zi Xuan trembled and shouted out loud.

"Don't be nervous, little sister. Big brother won't eat you!" Hongqiang, a bald man, scanned Li Zixuan's body and licked his lips.

Then, looking at Li Xumin, he said, "Li Laozi, have you thought about what we talked about last time"

"One million, you want to buy our Lee family's teahouse in the trouble zone Do you think I would consider it" Li Xuemin responded coldly.

"Hmph, Li Lao Tou, you really have no shame!" Hongqiang sneered.

"If I give you a million, you should be grateful and pray to Buddha. If you keep being stubborn, don't even think about getting a million, not even a penny!"

"Alright, stop wasting my time. That teahouse isn't for sale to you. Get lost!" Li Xuemin frowned deeply.

"Old Li, you waste of space, do you really think you're someone important" Hong said in a low voice.

"Do you think your Li family is still the same as it was five years ago"

"You don't believe me Even if I killed you, old man, no one would care!"

"You can try!" Li Xuemin shouted angrily.

"Oh, so you only cry when you see the coffin!" Hongqiang waved his hand.

"Hold on, you old fool! I'll teach you a lesson first!"ing Shau's status in the hearts of some people in the capital city. If something happened to Ling Shau, it would definitely be a huge scandal!And now, Yingmen is trying to capture people from Moge bec...
