Chapter 1067: Chapter 1110: A New Bet
Su ngxin had just finished a phone call when Zheng Mingrui imdiately received the news. Even though he was ordered, Zheng Mingrui still planned to stay here, even if it ant facing severe punishnt.
Su ngxin quickly advised, "You should know that they can’t take large-scale actions against us right now, which gives us plenty of opportunities to manoeuvre. Moreover, if you stay here, it would really put the Li family in a national trust crisis. Once the higher-ups believe that the Li family can still have such a huge influence on the army, especially an important unit like the Flying Hawk Squad, you can imagine the predicant the Li family will find itself in."
At this point, Zheng Mingrui truly couldn’t stay here anymore, otherwise, he wouldn’t be helping Su ngxin; he would be harming Li Yifei’s house. This made the Flying Hawk Squad mbers rather dejected, but it was the only option, given their exceedingly sensitive identities.
When Su ngxin and her group received this news, Wei Zijun and his companions received it as well. Compared to Su ngxin and her group, these three were sowhat depressed.
They had originally planned to send in their experts in the next two days to storm into Li Yifei’s house and obliterate it, thus effectively ending the Li family altogether. They naturally would have won the wager, but the order from above stopped them, and they didn’t dare act recklessly. Even if their family influence was significant, it still had its limits. Now that the higher-ups paid attention, they truly had to tread carefully.
"What’s going on? We can’t make a move. Aren’t we directly losing?" ng Qianjun slamd the table, visibly annoyed.
Wei Zijun also said with a gloomy face, "This is indeed quite troubleso."
Showing dissatisfaction, ng Qianjun exclaid, "I really don’t understand what those old n are thinking. These past few years, every little thing involves going against us big clans; they even want to intervene in this trivial matter."
Gu Yanan tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee table, saying, "It’s quite simple, the authorities just want to weaken the power of us big families. Nowadays, isn’t everything about governing by law? Our big families are obviously hindering this process."
With a serious expression, Wei Zijun said, "There is indeed such a trend right now, but these things definitely cannot be accomplished in the short term. What we need to consider is how to resolve the current situation. Young Master Gu, you often have the most ideas; we’ll have to rely on you."
Gu Yanan said with a wry smile, "Young Master Wei, Young Master ng, both of you clearly know the situation. Must you really make
spell it out? Okay then, I’ll say it. It’s not that difficult actually. Since Su ngxin signed this wager with us, they must also accept our challenge. We’ll just bet with them again then."
"How will we bet?" ng Qianjun asked.
Gu Yanan said, "Their last trump card is the people Li family currently holds, right? Let’s bet on that."
Wei Zijun quickly added, "I understand now, it’s about showing our true capabilities."
Upon hearing this, ng Qianjun imdiately beca excited again, saying, "This idea is good. Damn, I thought there would be no fights at all, but it seems there are still opportunities."
Gu Yanan laughed, saying, "Yes, but it can only be a battle of wits now; we cannot truly satisfy Young Master ng’s craving for a fight."
"That works too. These days, my hands have been itching fiercely, and I don’t know if Golden Eagle can get hold of so good n."
In front of others, ng Qianjun always claid to be a master, but the skill he displayed was always just slightly stronger, so when he said such things, it always seed like he was bragging. However, neither Wei Zijun nor Gu Yanan would expose him.
But this also made it easier to conceal his true identity as a master. Apart from the day Li Yifei secretly tested ng Qianjun and found out he was a real master, even the sons of the big families in Capital City, and even most mbers of the ng Family, were unaware of ng Qianjun’s profound skills.
When Wei Zijun t with Su ngxin again, they discussed the thod the two families would use to decide the outco. Su ngxin guessed that the opponents would definitely use this thod, and she couldn’t refuse as it concerned the entire Li family’s dignity. Refusing the challenge would basically be admitting defeat for the Li family, so she had to agree—moreover, this was exactly what Su ngxin hoped for.
"Since this will be our deciding battle, I hope you can give us a bit more ti; we need to make so preparations."
Seeing that Su ngxin had agreed, Wei Zijun was naturally not in a rush, realizing that with the current resources of Su ngxin’s group, it would be extrely difficult to gather more experts from outside. Thus, he was content to extend this favor, saying, "No problem, there are still twenty days left in the month, so let’s give you ten more days to prepare. How does that sound?"
"No problem. See you in ten days then. Li family eagerly awaits your esteed presence."
"Okay!"
"Young Master Wei, you truly are capable, bullying us won of the Three Great Clans; I really admire that," but in the end, Su ngxin didn’t forget to make a sarcastic remark to Wei Zijun.
Wei Zijun smiled lightly, saying, "ngxin, you understand this as well. Sotis we are compelled to act in certain ways."
"Yeah, living just for oneself can sotis be quite exhausting. I actually like my life now — at least I’m living for myself." After saying this, Su ngxin turned and left.
This gamble involved each side sending out nine people for nine rounds, with the first to achieve five victories deed fair.
During the ten days of preparation, the Wei Zijun trio kept a close eye on Li Yifei’s house’s situation, but everything there seed very peaceful. After the Flying Hawk Squad left, aside from a few people from the Su Family who stayed, no one else entered the Li family’s courtyard. Additionally, the Li family’s won simply stayed inside the whole ti, not venturing beyond the courtyard.
This puzzled Wei Zijun and his companions — with just the current mbers at Li family’s house, it seed like a guaranteed loss. Did they perhaps have so kind of ace up their sleeve?
Even if the Su Family sent their top talents, the top talents from the other three clans present were the absolute best and wouldn’t lose to the Su family mbers. Besides, the Su family could only have so many top talents, and how could they possibly send all of them? A few, two or three, would be impressive already.
The ten days passed quickly, and in a large resort in the suburbs, people from both sides arrived, along with several mbers of the major families from the Capital City, who were there to bear witness. Since this was a family feud, it had to be handled according to the rules between families.
However, these prominent family mbers didn’t really take it seriously. The Wei family, Gu Family, and ng Family were all long-established major families, while Li Yifei’s family barely counted as one. If it weren’t for Su ngxin, Xiao Ling’er, and Zheng Yuling being significant figures, as well as support from the Su Family making it barely qualify as a family, they wouldn’t even bother to show up.
And in their eyes, this wasn’t really a fair wager at all — after today, this so-called Li family would be thoroughly defeated.
When the two sides t, Wei Zijun, ng Qianjun, and Gu Yanan, the three young masters, faced a group of stunning won, making it seem like they were surrounded by beauties. To an uninford onlooker, it might appear the trio was selecting beauties for a beauty pageant.
ng Qianjun, Gu Yanan, and Wei Zijun scanned the faces of these won. It was their first ti seeing them all together, and they couldn’t help but admire Li Yifei’s fortune in won — each one was exceptional, and they all followed that guy, remaining united. It was enviable; in their own major families, many might have several wives, but it was mostly daily disputes and no peace, unlike the harmonious atmosphere in Li’s residence.
But soon, these won would belong to them. For n like them, capable of significant endeavors, won were rely secondary, yet now they actually were considering taking these won for themselves. The attitude of n here, the way of harmonious coexistence, even if they brought several more won into their households, they wouldn’t worry about causing any trouble.
Everyone remained silent, planning to speak after completing the competition. However, as both sides were about to leave, ng Qianjun shouted, "Xiaofei, co here."
ng Xiaofei stopped, turned around, and asked, "What?"
ng Qianjun frowned deeply and asked, "Do you still want to stay there?"
ng Xiaofei lifted her chin and said, "Of course, I want to stay here."
"How absurd! You’re not Li Yifei’s woman. What are you doing there? Get over here now."
ng Xiaofei clenched her fists and shouted, "I won’t! No one has ever treated
as well as Brother Li. He doesn’t force
to do what I don’t like, nor think about marrying
off to soone I dislike. I refuse to be your tool; I am who I am, and I want to do what I like, with the people I like."
ng Qianjun glared angrily and barked, "Foolish girl, don’t you realize you’re a mber of the ng Family?"
"Yes, my surna is ng, but what’s it like to be a woman in the ng Family? Ultimately, they all beco tools traded for benefits. I’m not that foolish."
"Don’t you understand the situation right now?"
"Do you think you have certainly won? Let
tell you, we have a lot of top talents here, and we will surely leave you searching for your teeth."
"Hmph, without Li Yifei, do you think that’s possible?"
"Who says it’s not? My Brother Li is already back, and you just wait and see. Haha, with Brother Li here, it doesn’t matter how strong you are, you’re bound to suffer a great loss."
After she finished, ng Xiaofei triumphantly returned and ignored ng Qianjun entirely.
anwhile, ng Qianjun felt a sudden shock. ng Xiaofei was not a scher, and if she were lying, he could definitely tell. He had just been probing Li’s family’s situation, but from her words, could it be that Li Yifei truly wasn’t dead!
