Chapter 1163 Infiltrating the Li Family
Small dormitory, outside.
At this moment in the small dormitory, all the other children had fallen asleep, with only two figures standing in the hallway, seemingly discussing something.
“Grandpa Liu, what’s wrong?”
Wu Quan, wearing black pajamas, looked at the solemn old man Liu in front of him with confusion.
Old Liu opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and finally said:
“Little Quan… let’s move away.”
Hearing these words, Wu Quan’s body trembled slightly, “Move away? Grandpa Liu, didn’t we agree not to move?”
“This situation has become more complicated,” Old Liu sighed deeply, “Now those thugs are using increasingly extreme methods to force us to leave. I’m worried that next, they’ll just barge in and use violence without any restraint. I’m not afraid for these old bones of mine, but…”
Old Liu looked up at the sleeping children in the small dormitory, his lips pressed together:
“Little Quan, you’re a smart child. I know you don’t want us to move because you’re attached to this place. You don’t want Xiao Shen to come back and not find his home…
But it’s alright. Now that Shen’s comrade has come, if we move somewhere else, we can give them our address to take back, so Xiao Shen can still find us next time.”
Wu Quan frowned slightly and shook his head firmly:
“No… we can’t move. Grandpa Liu, don’t be afraid. If they really dare to break in, I’ll drive them away!”
“Ah, child, why are you so stubborn?” Old Liu said earnestly, “The Li family is powerful, not something we old folks and children can stand against… Go to school tomorrow morning without worry. By the time you return, we’ll have mostly packed up, and then we can move.
Your grandpa has rented a big courtyard in the West City. The environment is better than here. Although it’s a bit farther from your school, you can get there in half an hour by bus.”
“No!”
Wu Quan’s face showed anxiety, “Grandpa! We can’t move! I…”
“I’ve already decided on this matter,” Old Liu said sternly, not letting Wu Quan finish, “Little Quan, this issue is too significant to let you have your way… Go back to sleep.”
Old Liu patted Wu Quan’s shoulder and walked into the dim dormitory, leaving Wu Quan standing alone in the hallway, motionless like a statue.
A moment later, he took a deep breath and turned to enter the dormitory.
…
The night rain was continuous.
Outside the gates of the Li Group estate, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
Lin Qiye’s gaze penetrated through the gaps in the iron gate, looking at the brightly lit mansions inside the estate. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and slowly put on the Sun Wukong mask he hadn’t used for a long time.
Although he had said they couldn’t take action against the Li Group, Lin Qiye couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
Hanshan Orphanage was where Shen Qingzhu grew up. Old Liu had raised him, and those children respected him so much, like brothers and sisters. Although Lin Qiye didn’t know exactly what Old Liu was insisting on by not moving away, it didn’t matter.
What mattered was that Lin Qiye could anticipate what action Shen Qingzhu would take if he were standing here now.
Their lives were exchanged for Shen Qingzhu’s life, so what if he risked disciplinary action to do this for him?
Lin Qiye had rejected Cao Yuan’s proposal only because he didn’t want to involve others. Since someone would be disciplined anyway, it was better if fewer people faced punishment.
Lin Qiye stood in the rain wearing the Sun Wukong mask, his figure flashed as he leaped over the gate and flew directly toward the largest mansion.
Before setting out, Lin Qiye had researched the Li Group. The actual controller, Li Jian Bai, lived in this estate, and today happened to be the day the Li Group was hosting a party to celebrate the acquisition of another real estate giant, so most of the senior executives would gather in this estate tonight.
Lin Qiye’s spiritual power swept through the entire mansion, quickly locking onto Li Jian Bai’s position. His fingertips pushed out the hilt of [Zhan Bai], and his figure vanished into nothingness.
…
Inside the mansion.
Li Jian Bai, the chairman of the Li Group, was holding a champagne glass and smiling as he moved through the crowd.
Of those attending the party, fifty percent were Li Group executives, twenty percent were industry friends who came to show support, and the remaining thirty percent were celebrities and socialites specially invited by Li Jian Bai.
The atmosphere of the party was better than he had expected. The guests were clearly in good spirits, especially several older executives who had one arm around beautiful women and champagne glasses in the other, exchanging toasts and laughing heartily.
“Chairman Li, good evening.”
“Chairman Zhao, how’s business lately?”
“Well, it’s just so-so. Business is tough these days… By the way, I heard your Li Group recently acquired that land in the old city district? Are you planning something big? Can you give us a hint? We’d like to follow in Li Group’s footsteps and get a piece of the action.”
“You’re too kind, Chairman Zhao. I’ve always been willing to collaborate on the old city district project. After the party ends, please come upstairs for a detailed discussion.”
“Hahaha, excellent!”
“…”
Li Jian Bai moved easily through the party. After greeting almost all the guests, he unhurriedly went upstairs and leaned against the magnificent wall, looking down at the chatting crowd below.
A trace of contempt appeared in his eyes.
Li Jian Bai had ventured out on his own at the age of twenty, starting from scratch and single-handedly creating the real estate legend that was the Li Group. He was a business myth praised by countless people.
Although he had used many dirty and underhanded methods in the process, so what? In today’s world, people only care about results; the process… can always be hidden or rewritten.
He had long been accustomed to being superior. Politeness and smiles were just tools for social occasions… However, news he received this afternoon had left him in a bad mood until now.
The Baili Group actually wanted to acquire Li Group?
Who did they think they were?
Did they think they could just buy the empire he had built with over thirty years of hard work?
To outsiders, this might seem like Baili Group’s recognition of Li Group’s position in the real estate industry, but to Li Jian Bai, it was an insult!
A cold glint appeared in Li Jian Bai’s eyes as he tilted his head back and drained the champagne in one gulp.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, a hand suddenly extended from the void behind him, grabbed his collar, and dragged him directly into the rippling void rift!
The next moment, Li Jian Bai’s figure disappeared from where he stood.
…
Bang—!!
In the dark, cramped underground wine cellar, Lin Qiye casually threw Li Jian Bai, who crashed into two wooden racks before groaning and falling to the ground.
Li Jian Bai moaned as he got up from the ground, shook his dizzy head, and seeing his surroundings, froze in place.
“Where is this? You are… who are you?”
Li Jian Bai asked in terror as he saw the figure wearing the fierce Sun Wukong mask before him.
