Li Se truly hadn't expected that breaking off the engagement would bring him so much trouble. He had originally thought that ending the engagement would be a good thing for Xu Xiaoyu, as she wouldn't have to marry a stranger.
To his surprise, she had come looking for him not long ago, and now she was targeting those around him.
This was his bottom line!
"So what if it's revenge?"
Mr. Xu's face was red from his neck being twisted as he struggled to speak, "You humiliated the young lady, you deserve to die!"
*Crack!*
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Se actually snapped Mr. Xu's neck.
Even Mr. Xu himself hadn't expected to die so quickly. His eyes widened, filled with disbelief, but it was too late.
If he had known Li Se intended to kill him, he definitely wouldn't have been so defiant.
"Mr. Xu!" Liu Yu's expression changed drastically as he suddenly lunged forward.
But before he could even reach Li Se, he was repelled. At the same time, Li Se unleashed a kick with almost all his strength, leaving Liu Yu with no chance to fight back.
*Bang, bang!*
After a few thuds, Liu Yu fell to the ground, his body convulsing.
Li Se didn't kill him, but calmly said, "I'm leaving you your dog life so you can handle the aftermath. Tell your young lady that I will settle the score with her!"
With that, Li Se turned and left.
He Ze was stunned. That was true dominance.
Shan Dian remained expressionless. He had seen plenty of killing; in fact, he had killed someone himself before this, so this was nothing.
After Li Se left, Liu Yu struggled to crawl to the table and made a phone call.
Meanwhile, in the capital.
The Xu family.
Xu Xiaoyu put down her phone, her beautiful face contorted with gloom. Her body was still trembling because she had just received news that Old Xu had been killed by Li Se.
"How dare he?!" Xu Xiaoyu roared.
"Miss, what's wrong?" an old man heard the sound and immediately came over.
"Uncle Xu, Old Xu was killed in Qingyun City. Li Se did it!" Xu Xiaoyu cried out.
Uncle Xu frowned slightly. "Li Se? That kid from the Li family? The one who was engaged to you, and then broke it off? Why would this kid attack Old Xu?"
As if realizing something, Uncle Xu looked at Xu Xiaoyu and said softly, "Miss, it's best not to provoke this fellow. His strength is far beyond what we imagine. The Ye family hasn't troubled him recently. It's good that the engagement was broken off; you didn't like him anyway."
Xu Xiaoyu couldn't accept this and shouted, "He broke off the engagement, which is a humiliation to me! Now the whole capital knows that Xu Xiaoyu was dumped by a man!"
Uncle Xu didn't know what to say, but Li Se was indeed difficult to deal with. He hadn't expected Xu Xiaoyu to make a move against Li Se, leading to Old Xu's death.
"Miss, for safety's sake, it's best not to provoke him recently," Uncle Xu couldn't help but say.
"Uncle Xu, I will make him pay!" Xu Xiaoyu declared fiercely.
In a way, this woman was more terrifying than Tang Rou.
After dealing with Mr. Xu's affairs, Li Se went straight back. He couldn't be bothered to handle the corpse himself, as he knew the Xu family would clean everything up thoroughly.
"Weiwei, the matter has been handled," Li Se told Qiao Weiwei.
"Have you found out who was behind it?" Qiao Weiwei asked.
Mentioning this matter, Li Se felt a bit awkward. He then replied, "It's from the capital. They were targeting me."
"Who?" Qiao Weiwei quickly asked.
"The Xu family!" Li Se said.
Qiao Weiwei thought for a moment, looking puzzled. "The Xu family from the capital? But I don't recall you offending the Xu family."
Li Se gave a wry smile and explained, "The Li family had a marriage alliance with the Xu family before. Old Master Li wanted to use this marriage to get me back into the Li family, but I refused. Then they held a grudge. They approached me once before, and I didn't expect them to attack you and Uncle Qiao this time..."
This was truly something Li Se hadn't anticipated. Xu Xiaoyu was making far too much of a fuss. Wasn't it good that the engagement was canceled? Why the need for bloodshed?
Perhaps these young ladies were too accustomed to being pampered. When they were suddenly dumped, they felt their dignity was hurt and wanted someone to pay the price. Such people treated others' lives as mere dirt!
Li Se would definitely settle this score with the Xu family properly.
The matters in Qingyun City were essentially concluded. Li Se spent another day with the women.
Although Xia Bingyun and the others really wanted to go to the capital, they knew that their presence would only distract Li Se. It was better to stay in Qingyun City and guard their territory.
After all, in just a few months, the Muzhi Group they managed had already become the largest and most renowned group in Qingyun City.
Muzhi Group offered excellent benefits, attracting many talented individuals. Now, who in Qingyun City didn't want to join Muzhi Group?
The main reason was the wide scope of Muzhi Group's operations, covering almost all industries. Even the Qiao Corporation had reached a certain level of cooperation with the Muzhi Corporation. This was Li Se's final decision; a complete merger seemed unnecessary, as the Qiao family had put considerable effort into running the Qiao Corporation.
Of course, since Qiao Guohua was still in the hospital, Qiao Weiwei had to handle the affairs of the Qiao Corporation, which meant Li Se had to stay a few more days.
"How about it, want to visit the company?" Xia Bingyun asked with a smile.
"Alright!" Li Se nodded. He had been busy with other matters since his return and it was time to visit the company.
Muzhi Group's roots were still in Qingyun City.
Now, Xia Bingyun, Xia Shuyu, Yu Yan, Jiang Ranran, and Fang Xiuxiu all worked at the company. They were undoubtedly the most beautiful presence there, and no one dared to lay a hand on them, as they were all high-level executives. Moreover, Shan Dian and Zi Dan often accompanied them, ready to intervene at the first sign of danger.
Upon arriving at the company, Li Se and the women walked together and encountered a fair-skinned man dressed in a suit, exuding an air of gentle refinement.
"General Manager Xia!" The man's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Xia Bingyun, and he quickly hurried over, appearing very excited. He held a document in his hand.
"General Manager Xia, I'd like to discuss this project with you."
