The entire room fell silent, even Third Uncle Li was stunned.
These people were all his trusted aides; they were laughing and joking just that morning, and now, all had died in front of him. It felt like a dream.
Seeing the expression on Third Uncle Li’s face, Li Chengze smiled slightly and said, "Third Uncle, you can’t bla for this. If anyone’s to bla, bla Yang Yu for causing trouble with you, and you all for entangling with him."
"You are my elder, and you haven’t been in contact with Yang Yu. I absolutely believe in your loyalty to the Li Family. Therefore, to prevent you from having a regretful fate, I’m giving you one last chance."
Li Chengze walked over to his two cousins, smiling at Third Uncle Li, "You may decide who among them lives. For the other, do it yourself to prove your innocence. If you can’t bring yourself to do it, then I’ll have to consider you an accomplice of Yang Yu and kill you together."
"Li Chengze!" Third Uncle Li’s eyes were bloodshot, his teeth clenched tight, gums bleeding, "You will get your retribution; you won’t die a good death!"
"Seems like Third Uncle can’t bring himself to do it. Let , then!" Just as Li Chengze was about to make a move, Third Uncle Li quickly stepped forward and took the dagger from Li Chengze’s hand. "I’ll do it myself!"
Third Uncle Li walked over to his two sons, trembling all over, "Eldest, second, I’m sorry to you both. Only one of you can live. To the one who must die, don’t bla your father..."
Thunk!
The eldest son of Third Uncle Li suddenly stood up and threw himself at the dagger, plunging it into his own chest!
"Big brother!"
"Cheng Hua!"
Tears stread down Third Uncle Li’s face, mixing with the blood.
The eldest son of Third Uncle Li whispered softly in his father’s ear, "Dad... the Li Family... we can’t stay any longer..."
Leaving behind these words, the eldest son of Third Uncle Li collapsed to the floor, closing his eyes forever.
"Cheng Hua..." Third Uncle Li fell to his knees with a thud, his voice hoarse, unable to cry out.
Seeing his warning take effect, Li Chengze waved a hand, "Release Li Chengye."
The bodyguard untied the ropes on Li Chengye’s hands. Li Chengye collapsed beside his brother’s corpse, crying out loud, "Big brother..."
"Let’s go!" Third Uncle Li said in a very hoarse voice, pulling up his second son, preparing to leave.
Li Chengye, unwilling to leave, hurriedly said, "Dad, we need to take Big Brother and Little Third’s bodies..."
"No need." Third Uncle Li said, "They’re already gone; there’s no use keeping their bodies. In life, they were people of the Li Family; in death, they are deaths of the Li Family. Li Chengze is the Family Head, he will send their ashes back."
With that, Third Uncle Li pulled Li Chengye out of the eting room.
As a group of people entered the eting room, they began to clean up the bodies and sprayed perfu to remove the odor.
Though the bloodstain sll on the surface was removed, people still felt they could sense the sll of blood, lingering and hard to shake off.
Seeing everyone remain silent, Li Chengze smiled slightly, "Dear uncles and brothers, rest assured, as long as you have no ulterior motives, I swear to the ancestors of the Li Family, I won’t touch a hair on your heads."
No one believed Li Chengze’s words; the last ti, the Eighth Uncle had no ulterior motives, he just questioned him a bit, yet Li Chengze stabbed him to death in front of everyone.
Having seen a precedent, who would believe Li Chengze’s promise now?
Whether they believed him or not, Li Chengze continued to speak to himself, "Alright, let’s continue our eting..."
The situation on the Li Family’s end quickly reached the ears of Dongfang Baixiao, Huang Liang, and Yang Yu. They had spies in the Li Family, so it wasn’t hard to get this information.
Dongfang Baixiao and Huang Liang finally understood what Yang Yu ant by "The Li Family will soon be in chaos." With Li Chengze killing like this, how could it not be chaos!
"Yang Yu, it seems you’ve got a good grasp on Li Chengze’s temperant!" Huang Liang said, "Everything he does is within your calculations, which doesn’t seem at all like the style of Yanjing’s number one young master."
"Anger and jealousy can make soone lose their facade, also making them more violent." Yang Yu said, "He hates , hates to death. But previously, his dad and grandpa asked him to bear it due to so special reasons, not to fight with , and he endured."
"As a result, after he inherited the Li Family, he found it difficult to fight , making his ntality even more distorted."
"So, whenever he hears about any Li Family mber getting close to , he naturally uses all kinds of brutality to kill them."
After hearing Yang Yu’s analysis, Huang Liang couldn’t help but take a deep breath, "Yang Yu, having an opponent like you is truly Li Chengze’s misfortune."
"It’s not who’s clever, it’s Xia Yu and Selin who are clever." Yang Yu smiled, "All of this is their analysis, and the thods to deal with the Li Family were also arranged by them."
Seeing Yang Yu so generously crediting the achievents to two won, Dongfang Baixiao and Huang Liang were both surprised and impressed.
Many young people, if they could attain Yang Yu’s height, would generally consider it their own achievent, and wouldn’t easily admit that won helped them, fearing contempt.
Yet Yang Yu didn’t care about this at all, showing his broad-mindedness and strong inner strength, no wonder those two highly intelligent won were willing to help him.
After slightly calming his mood, Dongfang Baixiao casually asked, "Yang Yu, what do you plan to do next?"
"I don’t need to do anything, just wait." Yang Yu confidently said, "As long as there’s an opportunity for those from the Li Family to leave Yanjing, they’ll definitely co to Tianhai City to find first."
Just before Yang Yu finished speaking, his phone received a ssage: "Mr. Yang, I am Li Ruidong of the Li Family, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you, hoping you will accept ."
"I’ll be on a flight back to Tianhai City at five in the afternoon, wait at the airport." Yang Yu had just replied to this ssage when a call ca in, "Mr. Yang, I am Li Ruwen of the Li Family, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to you, I beg you to accept ."
Yang Yu gave him the sa reply, "Five in the afternoon, I’ll be waiting for you at the airport."
Yang Yu subsequently received several more similar ssages and calls.
Li Ruihong had one younger brother and sixteen cousins, among whom ten expressed their willingness to pledge allegiance to Yang Yu.
It must be said, Li Chengze’s attitude toward Third Uncle Li completely pushed them to Yang Yu’s side.
Not to ntion that Yang Yu was known for his loyalty to friends and had never been heard to harm his own people.
How could Li Chengze even compare with Yang Yu?
Seeing that Yang Yu took in so many people from the Li Family, Huang Liang frowned slightly, "Yang Yu, aren’t you worried that there might be spies sent by Li Chengze among them?"
