y results yet" Yuan Xiong looked at Hou Ying and asked."Regarding Eighth Master's words, I have confirmed it. It was indeed done by Young Master Ling!" Hou Ying said solemnly."As expected!" Yuan Xiong...>

"Received!" Lu Yue nodded, then as if suddenly remembering something.

"By the way, big brother, I have some results about that thing you asked me to look into last time."

Five years ago, your foster family's funeral arrangements were handled by the Li family, and they also arranged for the upkeep of their gravesite.

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

Five years ago, after the Zheng family incident, he was saved by Qin Yuxin and then taken away by an elder. He had no heart or strength for the aftermath of the Zheng family.

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 handle it simply.

Not long ago, he learned from the judge's mouth that back then, kind people had stepped forward to take care of the funeral arrangements for the Zheng family.

He asked the Judge to investigate who did it, but there was no result. It seemed that those who had appeared back then were all gone from Tohoku now.

Unexpectedly, 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 and the Zheng family had a very good relationship. Many of the industries under the Li family's control had cooperated with the Zheng family.

Ling Hao has always had a good impression of the Li family, especially Mr. Li, the patriarch. When he was young, he had served in the army for twenty or thirty years, radiating righteousness and indomitable spirit.

Perhaps this is why he was able to step up and help with Zheng's funeral arrangements at such a crucial time.

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

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

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

"On the surface, it seems like the Zhao family wasn't involved in Li family's affairs!" Lu Yue nodded and said, "I estimate they didn't think highly of Li family's assets, so they left it to Wang Tao."

Moreover, 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 also suffered from a disability.

Phew!

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

"Go to Li's house!" After a brief pause, Ling Hao spoke in a low voice.

"Received!" Lu Yue nodded then stomped on the gas pedal.

Li Family Garden is located near a park on the eastern side of the city. The area is neither too large 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 affiliated group companies had an annual output value of at least hundreds of millions and very considerable profits.

At that rate of development, in a few years, it will be hopeful to enter the ranks of the top tier families in Eastern Asia.

But since the incident, Wang Tao and his family have joined forces to suppress Li Shi Group. They also threatened that any company continuing to cooperate with Li Shi Group would be considered their enemy.

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

And while the two families took the opportunity to divide up Li's family assets, many subsidiaries were forcibly acquired by them at bargain prices.

Over several years, the Li Group's output plummeted to less than 500 million yuan. It also took out loans of four or five hundred million yuan from banks, finding itself on the brink of bankruptcy with liabilities exceeding assets.

Now, the Lee family's assets are only this ancestral home and a teahouse in the city center.

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

A young woman in her twenties pushed a wheelchair out of a villa. An elderly man with white hair sat in the wheelchair.

The two people were Li Xue-Long, the old master of the Li family, and his granddaughter, Li Zi-Xuan.

"Haha, good!" Li Xuemin laughed heartily.

Although he is disabled in his legs, the grandfather seems to have a good spirit.

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

"It had been too long, helpless!" A barely noticeable trace of gloom flashed across Li Xuemin's eyes.

“Even he can’t do anything about it” Li Zixuan’s face flashed with disappointment, and she let out a sigh inwardly.

"Little one, don't cry. These past few years, grandpa has gotten used to it," Li Xuemin smiled and said.

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

"Grandpa, do you regret it" Li Zi Xuan blurted out.

"What are you regretting" Li Xuemin asked.

Five years ago, if our Li family hadn't allowed others to handle Zheng family affairs, there wouldn't have been so many things happening afterwards, and your body wouldn't have had a problem. Li Zixuan replied.

"Little Xuyan, you must remember!" Li Xue Min said in a deep and meaningful tone.

"In a lifetime, the most important thing is to pursue inner peace. No matter what difficulties you encounter, always follow your heart and your true intentions."

Perhaps, to those outside this circle, I, Li Xue Min, did something incredibly foolish back then. The Zheng family was destroyed, and for it, I jeopardized the future of my own family.

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

Because I can't get past my own hurdle!

"And now, I live a life of peace and contentment! Isn't that enough"

"Hmm!" Li Zi Xuan nodded, as if she understood but not fully.

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

"I understand!" Li ZiXuan nodded again.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just then, a sound of hurried footsteps arose.

A burly, bald man with a fierce face 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 Zixuan trembled all over and shouted out loud.

"Little sister, don't be nervous, your brother isn't going to eat you!" The bald man named Hongqiang scanned Li Zixuan's body and licked his lips.

Then, he looked at Li Xue Min and said: "Li Laozi, have you thought about what we talked about last time"

"One million You want to buy our Li family's teahouse, the one in the trouble spot Do you think I'd consider it" Li Xuemin responded coldly.

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

"If I give you one million, you should be burning incense and praying. If you keep being stubborn, don't even think about getting a single cent!"

"Alright, stop wasting my time. That teahouse is not for sale to you. Get lost!" Li Xue Min frowned.

"Old man Li, you useless waste, do you really think you're someone important" Hongqiang's voice turned cold.

"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.

"Well, it seems you won't cry until you see the coffin!" Hongqiang waved his hand.

"Here, let this old geezer have a taste of his own medicine!"lar."Mom, please agree to Dad!" In the next moment, Rui Rui's innocent child's voice rang out from the speakers on the thousand-yuan LCD screen.Upon hearing Ruo Ruo's voice, Qin Yu Xin, who had been c...
