At the barbecue stall, Li Xiaotian sat on a chair, while Niu Ge knelt on the ground, trembling all over. He could feel the boundless rage emanating from the young man before him.
Li Xiaotian was filled with murderous intent, his fists clenched tightly. He had just asked Li Erniu some questions, and the latter had answered truthfully.
After Uncle Fu left the Li family, his father, Li Zhen, was still present, so Uncle Fu’s life was relatively better, and his family lived happily.
But shortly after his father Li Zhen was assassinated, the Li family sent people to invite Tian Fu back. However, Tian Fu refused.
From then on, whatever Tian Fu did, he was targeted by the Li family.
He lost his job, and his elderly father was beaten to death by people arranged by the Li family during an outing.
After that, every business Tian Fu started was disrupted by people sent by the Li family. The life of Tian Fu’s family went from bad to worse.
And all of this was because a young man from the Li family, out of boredom, arranged it all as a game.
This person was Li Chaoyue, the second son of the Li family patriarch, a typical rich young master who acted tyrannically in the capital, leveraging the Li family's power.
“Take me to Li Chaoyue!” Li Xiaotian said calmly.
“Ah?” Li Erniu was stunned for a moment, but then he shook his head, his face pale, and pleaded with Li Xiaotian.
“Sir, please spare me. If I take you to see Young Master Li, he will definitely play with me to death!”
Li Erniu kept begging. If he took Li Xiaotian to see Li Chaoyue, he would surely be toyed to death by Li Chaoyue. But at the same time, he would not fare any better, as his actions were too rash and had disrupted Li Chaoyue’s fun.
Li Chaoyue was his backer, and he knew his personality very well.
Without being summoned, he didn’t dare to see Li Chaoyue.
“Heh, so do you want to die now or a little later?” Li Xiaotian sneered.
Li Erniu trembled upon hearing this and could only kowtow repeatedly.
“Bang!” Li Xiaotian kicked Li Erniu away and then spoke with a cold tone.
“Either die now, or do as I say!”
Li Erniu’s face was filled with struggle. Finally, he gritted his teeth, cast a vicious glance at Li Xiaotian, which vanished in an instant. Since the other party wanted to die, he would accompany him.
Although his outcome would certainly not be good, at least he would be alive. Perhaps Li Chaoyue would be happy afterward and let him go.
In a KTV room in the capital, Li Chaoyue was having a wild time with a group of young masters from various prominent families in the capital.
The hostesses accompanying them could only comply with Li Chaoyue’s unreasonable demands.
“Young Master Li, I heard my old man say that your Li family has encountered some trouble recently, quite troublesome. You still have the leisure to come out and play?”
In the private room, a young master from a noble family said to Li Chaoyue.
“Trouble? Pfft!” Li Chaoyue glanced at the other person and said dismissively.
“Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang, our Li family is the Li family! One of the three top aristocratic families in Daqin. Is this little matter considered trouble? It’s just a few disgusting rats causing trouble in secret.”
“Once the rats jump out, our Li family can easily resolve the current situation.”
“In Daqin, with our Li family’s power, no force can cause trouble for our Li family!”
“Haha, that’s true! A top aristocratic family in Daqin isn’t just for show.” Zhang Yang said with a smile.
“Young Master Li, little brother toasts you!” Several other young masters from noble families in the private room spoke, coming forward one after another to offer toasts.
Although Li Chaoyue was just the son of the Li family patriarch and did not have the opportunity to inherit the position of family patriarch, the resources he controlled, if leaked even a little, would be enough for some ordinary noble families to feast on.
“Young Master Li, please do me a favor. Our Zhao family wants to expand our business in Jiangnan, but you know, in terms of finance, Jiangnan is the territory of the Sun family. If our Zhao family barges in rashly, we will be targeted by the Sun family.”
A young man said amidst the crowd. He was the son of the Zhao family patriarch, Zhao Funeng. The Sun family he mentioned was a family with a similar strength to their Zhao family.
“Sun family? It’s a small matter. I’ll call the head of the Sun family later and talk to him about it,” Li Chaoyue said casually, nonchalantly. What was a big deal in the eyes of the Zhao family was merely a phone call in Li Chaoyue’s eyes.
“That would be great, thank you, Young Master Li. Young Master Li, you’ve helped our Zhao family immensely this time.” Zhao Funeng said excitedly. If he told his grandfather about this tonight, he would probably be so happy that he wouldn’t sleep all night.
“Heh, Zhao Funeng, I heard that your Zhao family was forcefully entered by someone today? A young man made everyone in your Zhao family bow down?” Li Chaoyue asked.
“Your Zhao family is too weak, aren’t they? You’re considered a noble family in the capital, yet you’re so useless?”
Zhao Funeng’s face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he harbored hatred in his heart for Li Xiaotian, who had forcefully entered their Zhao family today.
“Young Master Li, you jest. He’s just an ant, and that ant has a complicated relationship with our Zhao family. My grandfather is a bit soft-hearted, otherwise, that ant would have disappeared from this world today.”
Zhao Funeng explained. Once his family investigated Li Xiaotian’s background, it would be Li Xiaotian’s death day!
Li Chaoyue chuckled lightly upon hearing this and ignored him. These were all minor matters to him.
“Bang!” Suddenly, the private room door was violently pushed open by a figure. Li Erniu’s two-hundred-jin body was thrown directly into the center of the private room, kicked in by someone.
Everyone in the private room was startled, but then they all showed anger.
“Damn it, are you trying to die? Don’t you want to live anymore! Disturbing my refined mood?”
“Where’s the boss? Does this store still want to stay open? Is this how I’m treated when I patronize you?”
“Young Master Li, Young Master Li, it’s me, Erniu!” Li Erniu shouted, his face pale.
Li Chaoyue was stunned upon hearing this. He glanced at Li Erniu, but his expression immediately turned grim, and he stared intently at Li Erniu.
“You Erniu, are you seeking death?”
“Young Master Li, please listen to me. I don’t have the guts to do this. Someone is forcing me.”
Li Erniu started crying. If Li Chaoyue held a grudge against him, it would be difficult for him to die even if he wanted to.
“Thump!” Li Xiaotian walked in. Everyone in the private room looked over. Among the crowd, only Zhao Funeng looked a bit fearful, but after thinking that Li Chaoyue was present, he instantly became arrogant and angry.
“It’s you, you ant! What are you doing here? Are you seeking death? Is this a place you are qualified to come to?”
Zhao Funeng looked at Li Chaoyue and then said, “Young Master Li, this person is the one who forcefully entered my Zhao family today!”
“Oh?” Li Chaoyue glanced at Li Xiaotian with disdain upon hearing this and then said indifferently.
“No matter who you’re looking for today, or what background you have, go and kneel outside first!”
