Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Grievance
Upon seeing the uncle-nephew duo, Yang Fei felt somewhat surprised.
Since leaving Han City that day, he had called Li Xuanyu for the first couple of days to inquire about her situation.
Li Xuanyu said she was mourning for her mother and, afterwards, she would resolve the internal conflicts within the Li Family’s Financial Group.
As for the deaths of Jin Rixu and Will, she mentioned that the Jin family did indeed visit the Li Family to ask questions, but there were no results.
There was no evidence to prove that the deaths of those two were connected to anyone else, a case without leads, so Yang Fei shouldn’t worry.
Thus, for the past few days, Yang Fei hadn’t contacted Li Xuanyu.
Now that Li Zhongni and Li Xiaoji had appeared here and seeing the expressions of the two, Yang Fei guessed that Li Xuanyu probably hadn’t yet begun to deal with the Li Family’s internal issues.
"Sorry, I need to go home to have dinner with my wife," Yang Fei shook his head at the two.
A cold glint flashed in Li Zhongni’s eyes as he said coldly, "Is having dinner with your wife more important than having dinner with me, your boss?"
Yang Fei was startled, "Boss?"
Li Xiaoji immediately looked smug and said with a laugh, "That’s right, the Li Family’s Financial Group’s companies in Divine Continent Country have been transferred under the private ownership of my Third Uncle, so he is your boss now. Hehe, Yang Fei, as your boss, my Third Uncle’s personal invitation to dine together is the greatest respect and recognition for you. You wouldn’t be unaware of what is good for you, right?"
Yang Fei slightly furrowed his brow.
It wasn’t because Li Xiaoji accused him of being ungrateful, but because of the announcement that Li Zhongni had become the boss of the Li Family’s Financial Group’s companies in Divine Continent Country.
Previously, Li Xuanyu was in full charge of these affairs, only temporarily leaving due to her mother’s death, and allowing Li Zhongni to come to help temporarily; but now the entire Li Family’s enterprises and corporations in Divine Continent Country had been transferred under Li Zhongni’s control?
"As far as I know, although the patriarch of the Li Family is old and frail, he isn’t dead yet and has absolute control over the Li Family’s Financial Group. You say you are now the boss of all the Li Family’s companies in Divine Continent Country, doesn’t that mean the Li Family’s Financial Group has split?" Yang Fei asked, looking at Li Zhongni.
Li Zhongni chuckled and replied, "You seem quite concerned about my family’s affairs. But that’s all old news. You are completely unaware of what has transpired in the last couple of days. Let me tell you, Yang Fei, don’t hope for Li Xuanyu to come back and take charge; she’s done, completely done."
Yang Fei’s heart sank.
As a good friend of Li Xuanyu, he certainly didn’t want anything bad to happen to her.
Before he could ask, Li Xiaoji already started laughing arrogantly, "Hahaha, my little aunt has gone missing and might never appear again. So, Yang Fei, it’d be wise of you to recognize the situation and choose to cooperate with us honestly. As long as you can develop even better products, my Third Uncle won’t shortchange you. But if you keep being ignorant, not only will you not make money from cooperation, but all your past contributions will be wiped clean."
Yang Fei naturally didn’t take such minor matters to heart; what he was most concerned about at the moment was Li Xuanyu’s safety.
He took out his cell phone and, in front of Li Zhongni and Li Xiaoji, Yang Fei called Li Xuanyu’s number.
It didn’t connect.
After trying several times, the calls still couldn’t get through, indicating the number was out of service.
Yang Fei’s mood became exceptionally grave, and a fierce aura began to emanate from him.
How could this be?
Sister Xuanyu had said that everything was under control, and she could easily solve the family’s internal conflicts. How could it be that he couldn’t even get her on the phone now?
Moreover, judging from Li Zhongni’s and Li Xiaoji’s attitudes and expressions, it seemed Li Xuanyu indeed appeared to have lost the competition and been ousted from the family.
What exactly had happened?
Yang Fei felt somewhat confused, and he looked up at Li Zhongni to ask, "What exactly happened, and why can’t I get through to Li Xuanyu’s phone?"
Li Zhongni said with a smile, "A woman like her, actually trying to monopolize the Li Family’s Financial Group, was really overestimating herself. Furthermore, she even laid her hands on her own brother in a deadly manner. Such a person should not continue to live in this world."
Li Xiaoji also nodded in agreement, "That’s right, my little aunt had malicious intentions and didn’t even spare her own family; she truly deserved to die."
A cold light flashed in Yang Fei’s eyes as he looked at the two with a frosty gaze.
Seven or eight powerful bodyguards behind Li Zhongni sensitively picked up on Yang Fei’s murderous intent. They moved into position in front of the two, eyes fixed on Yang Fei, radiating a threatening vibe.
There were many pedestrians passing by, and due to the grand display of the Li Family uncle and nephew, many curious eyes were drawn their way.
Yang Fei struggled to control his emotions, saying coldly, "I will find out the truth about this matter, you all better pray that Sister Xuanyu is unharmed."
After speaking, he turned around and left.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to restrain the anger in his heart and would lash out openly.
There were too many people here, and it would be a problem if someone took a photo and posted it.
Moreover, whether Li Xuanyu was missing or dead was still an unknown.
Some hatreds can only be vented by taking personal revenge.
If Sister Xuanyu was still alive, it would be best for her to handle her family’s affairs herself.
"Yang Fei, stop right there!" Li Xiaoji’s angry voice came from behind, "If you dare to leave, I guarantee that you will regret it."
Yang Fei ignored him and continued walking toward the villa.
Li Xiaoji was furious and wanted to say more, but Li Zhongni stopped him, watching Yang Fei’s departing figure, Li Zhongni smiled and said, "He’s still quite loyal and righteous. At this moment, upon hearing the bad news about your young aunt, his mood is terrible, which is understandable. However, I believe he will soon come to me for help, as only I can bring him great wealth. In this world, no one can resist the lure of wealth."
Li Xiaoji hesitated, then said, "Third Uncle, this guy is a bit different, he is very strong."
Li Zhongni smirked with disdain, "So what if he is a martial artist? They still need to cooperate with us to achieve their cultivation goals, don’t they?"
Li Xiaoji looked around at those martial artist guards that the Li Family’s Financial Group had hired at a high price and suddenly laughed.
Yes, martial artists are also people, and they too have desires.
If they want a better life and resources to cultivate, they must bow to money.
When Yang Fei returned home, his mood was still gloomy.
It wasn’t until he reached the kitchen that he realized he had forgotten to buy groceries, preoccupied with thoughts of Li Xuanyu.
Opening the refrigerator, fortunately, there were still some vegetables inside.
He took out the vegetables to wash them, but his mind was still preoccupied with concerns for Li Xuanyu’s safety.
Unable to help himself, he made several phone calls, but still could not get through.
It wasn’t long before Qin Yanyang returned home.
The moment she saw Yang Fei, she could sense his low spirits and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Yang Fei did not conceal anything from her and briefed her on the possible mishap involving Li Xuanyu.
Qin Yanyang nodded and said, "I also got the news this morning."
Yang Fei looked at her.
Seeing a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes, Qin Yanyang quickly explained, "I thought you already knew. Besides, Li Xuanyu is just missing, she’s probably not dead, don’t worry too much."
Yang Fei fell silent for a long time, then said in a low voice, "You should have told me sooner."
There was a twinge of sourness in Qin Yanyang’s nose, and she felt wronged.
This was a confidential matter, and she couldn’t disclose it without having a clear understanding; indeed, Li Xuanyu was just missing.
Now, watching Yang Fei getting angry over another woman, how could Qin Yanyang’s heart not ache?
But she was rational.
She knew that Yang Fei and Li Xuanyu had known each other for many years, and now that Li Xuanyu was in trouble, it was only right for Yang Fei to care; this showed that he was loyal and righteous.
But who could understand her own heartache?
