"The information actually wasn’t difficult to find at all, it’s all over the internet!"
"Old Chen, please continue."
"Afterwards, he achieved nothing noteworthy and showed no abnormalities, until about half a year ago, when Li Feng was kicked out by the Zhang Family."
At this point, the faces of those present turned queer, the son of the Li Family not only became someone else’s live-in son-in-law, but he was also kicked to the curb. Googlᴇ search ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet
My god, is this true?
That fellow Li Mingrui must be so angry that he’d spit out three liters of blood.
"What’s wrong, Old Nie?"
Nie Yuan took a deep breath and continued, "Less than half a month after being kicked out by the Zhang Family, their Qingcheng was forcefully taken over. Not even two months later, the Sihai Group of Huacheng that the Zhang Family had married into, a real estate behemoth worth hundreds of billions, declared bankruptcy. The chairman committed suicide by jumping off a building, and his son disappeared without a trace. Li Feng made a short appearance and in less than half a month, the Sihai Group was dismembered and became history."
"Later, Li Feng appeared in Sea City, and in less than three months, he became the chairman of Century Group again."
The people present looked at each other in disbelief; this kid was a bit uncanny.
In less than six months, he had taken down three groups, and each one was more impressive than the last—billions, hundreds of billions, trillions.
"Oh, right, this kid also has a renowned nickname in Huacheng, ’Hidden Dragon.’"
"Mm, it seems this kid isn’t as simple as the information suggested, and combining what he did today, this kid isn’t a straightforward one, he’s quite bold."
"Heh, I wonder if Li Mingrui knows about all this."
"Li Mingrui should know, but I bet the people of the Li Family never imagined this illegitimate son, whom they never took seriously, to be this formidable."
"I think we need to have a talk with Li Mingrui; this might not be a bad thing."
"Old Zhu, what do you mean?"
"If Li Mingrui wants to rise to power, he can’t do it without our support. Moreover, this club has long ceased to be an aide to us and is more like a ticking time bomb. We’re just too deeply entangled with the club, and this is a good chance to make a clean break."
"Gentlemen, I know cutting ties will be painful, but don’t forget, as long as our country stands, our ten great families will not fall."
The people present were shrewd and quickly understood Zhu Jianjun’s implication; compromise was also an art.
"Hey, passing the hot potato to Li Mingrui is not a bad idea. Now, I’m a bit curious to see his face upon finding out how recklessly his own son has been behaving in Jin City."
The butler of the Li Family, Li Li, hurried forward as he saw Li Mingrui walking in from outside.
"Do you know what’s happened at home?"
Li Li followed Li Mingrui’s side and whispered, "I just know that Mistress Xinyue ran back home this morning in tears, heading straight for Old Madam’s courtyard. I asked the doctor there, and it seems to be related to the eldest young master."
Li Mingrui frowned, "Li Feng?"
"Yes, but the specifics are unclear. However, the Old Madam seems quite angry and even smashed a teacup."
Li Li added from the side.
"I understand." Li Mingrui strode through the central courtyard, heading to the rear yard where the Old Madam of the Li Family lived.
Li Xinyue looked up when she saw Li Mingrui come in, revealing the slap mark on her face, her eyes swollen from crying.
Li Mingrui walked over to Li Xinyue and, with a frown, asked, "Did Li Feng do this?"
"Who else would have the gall to do such a thing? He didn’t just hit Xinyue, he hit me in the face," said the Old Madam, who harbored a deep prejudice against Li Feng. She had broken up the relationship between Li Mingrui and Li Feng’s mother in the past, thinking that had ended matters; instead, that woman ended up carrying the Li Family’s seed and secretly gave birth to it, a thorn in the Old Madam’s side ever since.
Hating the crow for the sake of the house, the Old Madam naturally extraordinarily disliked Li Feng. Li Xinyue had grown up by the Old Madam’s side and was her favorite; now with Li Xinyue coming over to complain, exaggerating the story, the Old Madam was full of ire.
Li Mingrui lifted his eyes to look at Li Xinyue.
"Xinyue, tell me exactly what happened."
