Chapter 1310: Chapter 1360: Taking on Two Alone
"Husband, are you really determined about this?"
Li Yifei returned to the villa, and Ye Yunzhu called out in astonishnt. Others might not understand the power of the Song Family and Sun Family, but she knew better. For years, the Ye Family didn’t dare to challenge these two families precisely because their influence was too great. Moreover, the Li Family, not only being newly established, couldn’t compare in strength. It also had inherent weaknesses, especially lacking power in the political arena. If these two families mobilized their political influence, Li Yifei’s entire enterprise might face imnse trouble, potentially even leading to its investigation or destruction.
Xu Yingying anxiously said, "Husband, you’re being too impulsive with this decision. Right now, the child hasn’t even been confird as our son. If he isn’t, then going to war with them would be totally pointless. Even if he is our son, it’s still not the right ti to seek revenge. Plus, one of the key culprits is already dead, and the other is in our hands. We don’t have grounds to go to war with their entire family!"
Su ngxin resolutely sided with Li Yifei, saying, "I understand everyone’s concerns, but as a major family, we must uphold our dignity. If we don’t retaliate with overwhelming force this ti, how can the Li Family have a foothold going forward? Even if the child isn’t dead, they have already used our family mbers to threaten us, breaking one of the cardinal rules between families. Whatever we do now is morally justified. Using my son as leverage? No matter what, I won’t let them off easily."
Since arriving in Mile City, Su ngxin had never lost her temper. She always carried a smile, maintained harmony with everyone, and even when differences arose, she would express herself gently without outright rejecting others’ opinions. This was the first ti she had directly dismissed everyone else’s viewpoints.
Furthermore, Su ngxin’s stance this ti conveyed an unmistakable aura of ruthlessness. It was evident that she had already made up her mind and was determined to act.
Li Yifei glanced at everyone and said, "I understand that so of you think this decision is impulsive, but I can assure you: no matter how strong the Song Family and Sun Family are, the Li Family will absolutely not lose. We will leave them utterly defeated, erasing the presence of the Song and Sun Families from the provincial capital forever."
Xu Shanshan smacked the armrest of the sofa and exclaid, "Brother-in-law speaks well! If they dare target the Li Family, we must make them pay a devastating price so that others will never dare to do the sa."
Xu Yingying, still worried, said hesitantly, "But realistically... the execution of this..." She appeared sowhat unsure.
He Fangqing chuckled lightly and said, "Don’t forget we still have allies. Any major family from the Capital City alone could wipe out both the Song and Sun Families."
Xiao Ling’er, Zheng Yuling, and Ning Xin’er imdiately chid in excitedly, "Well said! Let’s call our families right away and have them get ready to take action."
Last ti when the Li Family encountered trouble, these three families had acted relatively conservatively, leaving these three won sowhat disheartened. Now that there was an opportunity to prove themselves, they were eager to have their families step in, strengthening their relationship with Li Yifei.
When these three families were ntioned, everyone’s expressions eased noticeably. Besides them, there was also the more formidable Su Family, the Ye Family in the provincial capital, and even ng Xiaofei was now considered a part of the Li Family. The ng Family would likely draw closer to the Li Family in the future. ng Qianjun, despite previous conflicts with Li Yifei, could probably let bygones be bygones.
However, Su ngxin shook her head and said, "I don’t want to involve anyone else in this matter. This is the Li Family’s battle, and we must handle it ourselves."
"What?" Everyone stared at Su ngxin in surprise.
Su ngxin smiled proudly and said, "For the past few days, I’ve been trying to be a dutiful wife, avoiding involvent in these conflicts. But if soone dares to use my son as leverage, then I’ll show them that my so-called restraint doesn’t an I’ve lost my abilities after leaving the Su Family. In the Li Family, I am just as capable, and they will pay dearly for this."
Su ngxin was correct—she had always been a reserved figure in the Li Family, acting as a virtuous and supportive wife centered around Li Yifei. Consequently, everyone had overlooked her past capabilities and forgotten that Su ngxin was once a genius, soone even targeted for assassination by foreign entities.
Li Yifei put his arm around Su ngxin’s waist, sighed softly, and said, "ngxin, this ans you’ll have to get involved too."
Su ngxin leaned against Li Yifei’s shoulder and spoke softly, "I’m part of the Li Family, so I should contribute to the Li Family. Everyone works so hard; I can’t keep playing the role of a privileged wife."
Li Yifei stood tall, his gaze sweeping across the faces of his family mbers. "Does anyone else have any objections?"
Xu Yingying shook her head. "If that’s the case, then I agree to go to war with them. This will show the world that anyone who uses despicable tactics against the Li Family is courting their own destruction."
With Xu Yingying expressing her support, the rest of the family had little to object to. Only Lin Qiong smiled bitterly and said, "I’m not against it, but can we guarantee legality?"
Su ngxin gave a faint smile and replied, "Lin Qiong, you don’t need to worry about that. Many goals can be achieved without violating the law. We’ll pull them down while strictly adhering to legality. Of course, we might employ a few unconventional thods, but the big picture will remain within bounds. This is what higher powers want to see, and we’ll force them to resort to illegal tactics, ensuring that many will be held accountable by the law."
Lin Qiong nodded in agreent. "Alright then, I support this too."
Thus, the decision was made, and the news spread quickly.
First, the Old Master of the Ye Family called Li Yifei, sounding both excited and worried. "Yifei, isn’t this a bit premature?"
Li Yifei chuckled and replied, "Grandpa, it’s not early. Sotis acting sooner is better than later."
"You’re right, but your current strength isn’t enough. Going against them now could lead to a loss in many areas. Compared to their combined power, we’re still at a disadvantage. Shouldn’t you seek help from the Capital City?"
"There’s no need for that. For now, I’d prefer the Ye Family stay out of this. I don’t want to leave any handle for higher-ups to criticize. This is purely a matter between the Li Family and those two families."
"Just the Li Family? How’s that possible?" The Old Master of the Ye Family exclaid.
Li Yifei responded calmly, "Grandpa, rest assured, I don’t act on matters I’m not confident about."
"Your personal strength might be formidable, but you’re completely inexperienced in the political arena. If they attack you there, your businesses could suffer major damage."
Li Yifei smiled faintly. "No problem. I’ll ensure they use tactics like that to suppress ."
The Old Master was puzzled but quickly said, "You seem sure of your plan, but this might..."
"The Li Family can afford to bear losses. While it may cost us so money initially, the downfall of those two families will more than compensate for any losses exponentially."
"Alright, if this is your decision, I’ll provide sufficient financial support. I can arrange twenty billion within two days if needed."
"Grandpa, you sure are financially resourceful!"
"Haha, I believe in you. I’m sure my investnt in this will yield significant returns."
"Absolutely, but I don’t need it for now. When I do, I’ll let you know."
While talking to the Old Master, Li Yifei’s phone kept buzzing with incoming calls. Glancing at the screen, he saw a call from the Ning Family in the Capital City.
Li Yifei quickly wrapped up with the Old Master and answered the Ning Family’s call, which was from their patriarch.
"Yifei, you’re quite bold—already challenging provincial families, and it’s a one-on-two battle. Truly satisfying! I’ve got manpower and resources ready. Within a month, I promise to crush those two families entirely."
Li Yifei laughed heartily. "Old Master, isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"
"You brat! I’ve always had a soft spot for you. I even wanted my granddaughter to marry you. But you secretly got her pregnant and stole her away—wasting all that effort on matchmaking. This ti, don’t make
regret supporting you again!"
Li Yifei apologized sincerely, "Grandpa, we’ve already decided to handle this relying solely on the Li Family’s strength. I deeply appreciate your generous offer, though."
"What? Are you sure you don’t need my help? Or did you agree to cooperate with soone else, leaving
out? That’s unacceptable! Even if you don’t want my full support, you can’t ignore
completely."
Li Yifei chuckled. "Grandpa, you’re misreading the situation. I wouldn’t prioritize one group over another. This ti, I truly don’t need anyone’s direct intervention. Well, not entirely... I do need one thing: ensuring legality in all processes. That’s all I ask—just firm adherence to the law. If that can be guaranteed, I can eliminate them."
The Ning Family’s patriarch imdiately understood Li Yifei’s strategy and laughed heartily. "Good! Smart move! Operating like this will win favor from higher-ups and earn greater support. It’ll also expose the Song Family and Sun Family’s ugly sides, giving the authorities an excuse to act against them."
"Grandpa, it’s up to you then. Public security, legal procedures, etc.—I’ll depend on you for those areas."
Although Li Yifei claid he would rely solely on the Li Family’s efforts, he clearly intended to leverage the power of his allies. Not for direct interference, but to suppress the administrative advantages of the Song and Sun Families. That alone would suffice.
