"Yes, it's all this brat's fault! We gave him a chance, but he insisted on dying!" Lin Lan said fiercely.
The mastermind behind the scenes had instructed them to sabotage the Li family. Upon completion, they would receive their reward. They had already finished their task, never expecting Li Yang to rise from the ashes and make a comeback!
Furthermore, it seemed that with their own abilities, they could no longer do anything to Li Yang, and the mission was bound to end in failure.
Since that was the case, they might as well die together!
Getting out of the car, Li Yang's face was filled with solemnity. "Since all of this was meticulously planned by someone, it must mean they have a deep-seated grudge against our Li family."
"But that's strange. Besides the Qin family, who else could my family have a feud with?"
He immediately called Er Dong.
"Boss?" Er Dong sounded surprised. Why was Li Yang calling him at this time?
"I need to ask you something. Besides Qin Yuliang, does my family have any other major enemies?"
"I don't think so?" Er Dong thought for a moment, then shook his head. "At least, I've only heard that the Li and Qin families are at odds. I haven't heard of any other enemies."
"Boss Li, your parents are quite easygoing and not the type to provoke enemies. Unless they actively seek trouble."
"I understand. Thank you, Old Dong." Li Yang nodded. It seemed this matter might have originated from his grandfather's generation.
"You should get some rest."
"Of course, Boss Li. You too."
After hanging up, Li Yang entered his home and rummaged through some of his grandfather's belongings, but he couldn't find anything crucial.
Seeing that the sky outside was already very dark, he temporarily put the matter aside and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Of course, since Long Lingling had opened up a new world for him, he no longer took solitary showers. While the water was running, he made a video call to Long Lingling.
"Are you taking a shower?" Long Lingling asked suspiciously upon hearing the sound of running water.
She had changed her hairstyle today and also her lipstick, making her look even more alluring.
Li Yang smiled and said, "I'm about to take a shower, but I don't want to shower alone. Cooperate with me."
"Pervert," Long Lingling said playfully, but her actions contradicted her words as she angled the phone screen towards her entire body.
Her clothes slowly came off.
Her graceful figure ignited a fiery passion within him.
"Mmm, mmm!"
"Ha, ha. Slow down, slow down when you come in!"
"Give it to me quickly, give it to me quickly!"
"Ah!"
After a series of panting sounds, the two finally began their shower.
Li Yang emerged from the bathroom feeling incredibly refreshed.
"When are you coming to Kunming City?" Long Lingling asked, lying on the bed. "I don't want to be doing this with you only on video calls."
"I'll come over when I have the chance. It's getting late, you should get some rest," Li Yang said with a smile.
Long Lingling hummed and ended the video call.
The next morning, Li Yang woke up and continued to examine his grandfather's belongings but still found nothing. He had no choice but to drive to the antique shop.
Upon hearing that he had some good quality Xi Wang Shang Gong coins, people flocked to him, eager to purchase them.
However, to maintain market prices and prevent a collapse, Li Yang refused most of them.
As evening approached, he set off for the villa of Tian Feng, the richest man in Jiangcheng, known as Ting Feng Wang Yue Lou.
The architecture was entirely in the Chinese style, exuding an air of grandeur.
As Li Yang drove up to the villa's main gate, he spotted a very familiar face.
"Xinyu?"
"Huh?" Tang Xinyu, dressed in a stylish women's suit and looking like a professional beauty, turned her head upon hearing his voice. Seeing that it was indeed him, she exclaimed in surprise, "Li Yang, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to attend the Treasure Gathering Assembly," Li Yang said with a smile, pulling out his rather unusual invitation.
Tang Xinyu was delighted. "You're so capable. Can you take me in?"
"I should be able to," Li Yang replied with a smile. "Are you here to discuss something with the richest man Tian?"
"Yes," Tang Xinyu nodded.
She had mentioned this matter to Li Yang before. Previously, Tang Hucheng had sought to purchase the Emperor Green jadeite as a gift for the Tian family, hoping for their assistance.
Li Yang looked surprised. "Is today perhaps the birthday of Old Master Tian?"
"Yes, it is. Didn't you know?" Tang Xinyu nodded.
"As a nobody, of course he wouldn't know," a contemptuous voice suddenly interjected. "Miss Tang, even if your Tang family is facing some difficulties recently, you are still one of the Eight Great Families of Jiangcheng. You shouldn't be associating with such a low-class person, lest you bring shame upon your Tang family."
"Huh?" Tang Xinyu turned to see a young man dressed rather ostentatiously. "Are you Shen Yunfeng, the young master of the Shen family?"
"It's only been a few days, Miss Tang. Surely you haven't forgotten me?" Shen Yunfeng chuckled proudly, then cast a cold glare at Li Yang.
You damned brat, you ruined my plans with Fang Xiaoqing and cost me two hundred million, making me lose face.
Today, I will ruin your plans with Miss Tang!
This is called getting even!
You little brat, just you wait and see!
"Brat, you still remember me, right?"
"Of course I remember you. Your surname is Yun, right? Yun Shen, was it?" Li Yang said with a playful smile.
Shen Yunfeng couldn't contain himself and immediately became enraged. "Are you deliberately provoking me?"
"If you think so, then yes," Li Yang said with a smile. "But Young Master Shen, how much money have you brought this time? Is it enough to lose to me?"
"You!" Shen Yunfeng was furious and immediately ordered his lackeys, "Teach this brat a lesson!"
"Yes, Young Master!" The lackeys were about to make their move.
Li Yang raised an eyebrow. "Haven't you had enough of the lesson I taught you yesterday? Are you looking for death again!"
With a flick of his arm, he sent these lackeys sprawling onto the ground!
"Ouch, ouch!" The lackeys lay on the ground, clutching their faces and groaning in pain.
However, Shen Yunfeng's face showed no sign of distress. Instead, a sinister smile spread across it as he chuckled sinisterly, "Brat, you dare to assault someone at the Tian family's doorstep. Even if Miss Tang protects you today, you're dead!"
"So this is your scheme. I was wondering why you hadn't learned your lesson and still sent these trash to their deaths," Li Yang's brow slightly furrowed. This guy actually has some brains. "Unfortunately, your brain isn't that big."
"Hmph, still talking tough when death is imminent," Shen Yunfeng sneered. He suddenly shouted towards the gate, "Steward Zhao, this brat committed violence in public, showing utter disregard for the Tian family's reputation. I request you come out and uphold justice!"
