Li Qianfan's lips moved.
He really wanted to persuade Wang Zhe to come back, but he didn't know what to say.
There were many things that Wang Zhe and other people from the bottom strata simply didn't know.
Even if Li Qianfan told them, they wouldn't understand.
"Alright. If you really can't come back, I promise I'll give that card to Zhu Hui."
Li Qianfan was silent for a moment, then said, "And I'll tell her you're a real man."
Wang Zhe thanked him.
Li Qianfan asked, "Who is the organizer of your group?"
"That, I can't tell you."
Wang Zhe paused, then spoke truthfully, "Actually, to be honest, I don't even know who our leader is. But I heard people say, it seems to be a woman."
"A woman?"
Li Qianfan was quite surprised.
"Yes, it's a woman."
Manager Wang said, "What's certain is that this woman is very capable. She not only formed the team and planned the operation, but also provided sufficient logistical support, including firearms, vehicles, identities, hiding places, and so on."
Someone with little ability couldn't do so much.
"Alright, that's all."
Before ending the call, Wang Zhe, with a sense of ritual, hummed two lines of "The great wind rises, the clouds fly."
The so-called King's voice was cool, but it was a raspy voice, sounding particularly harsh and even a bit ridiculous.
But Li Qianfan couldn't laugh at all.
He just thought of a sentence: "Though I face thousands of men, I shall go!"
"But I cannot be one of them."
Li Qianfan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and felt a suffocating tightness in his chest.
He finally couldn't help but dial someone's number.
Li Xiao.
Li Xiao, the master of Longxu, one of the four major forces in the world!
"Dad, there's something I need to ask your advice on."
Li Qianfan then explained in detail to Li Xiao the matter that Wang Zhe and the others were planning.
"Qianfan. Longxu will not and cannot interfere in this matter."
After listening, Li Xiao said in a low voice, "Don't blame your father for being heartless. Because only when you climb to the summit can you see the scenery that others at the foot of the mountain cannot. We absolutely cannot burn down a mountain full of fruit trees just to kill a single mouse."
Although Li Qianfan already knew this answer.
He still sighed heavily after hearing Li Xiao's words.
"Son."
Li Xiao changed his address. "Once Longxu gets involved, the Moses family and the Imperial Palace will have enough reason to meddle. The matters involved here are very complicated, even involving secrets that even I cannot casually tell anyone."
Li Qianfan said nothing.
"Let's not discuss this matter, but you absolutely must not get involved."
Li Xiao changed the subject. "Actually, if you hadn't called me today, I would have contacted you."
Li Qianfan casually asked, "Is there something?"
Li Xiao said, "Just yesterday, Old Master Shen arrived at Longxu."
The listless Li Qianfan immediately perked up.
Old Master Shen's visit to Longxu must be related to his marriage with Du Junlin.
"Dad, did Old Master Shen say, out of his kindness, that given how incompatible Du Junlin and I are, he would cancel our marriage?"
This was the outcome Li Qianfan most desired.
Seven years ago, Du Junlin had left him with a great shadow.
Seven years later, she had become the obstacle to Su Ziyu's name being entered into the ancestral hall.
Li Qianfan was truly fed up with her!
Li Xiao, however, chuckled.
Heh heh—
Li Qianfan's heart immediately sank.
"Du Junlin's name must be entered into the ancestral hall of Li Family Village."
Li Xiao said softly, "This is the first thing Old Master Shen emphasized when he came to Longxu."
Since Old Master Shen had come forward, and emphasized it so strongly, it proved that the importance of this matter had escalated.
Li Qianfan's stubbornness was also ignited: "If I don't put her name in, what can the Shen family do to me? Does the Shen family dare to harm my wife? Or harm me?"
Li Xiao ignored Li Qianfan's harsh words.
He slowly said, "The second thing Old Master Shen emphasized is that if you and Su Ziyu become a true couple, she will surely die."
Bang!
Li Qianfan's heart suddenly pounded.
The Shen family!!
Not only did they not allow Li Qianfan to have Su Ziyu's name entered into the ancestral hall, they even forbade her from becoming a true couple with Li Qianfan.
"If you two truly become husband and wife,"
Li Xiao paused and said softly, "Even if the Shen family loses more people, they will kill her."
"Madman!"
Li Qianfan cursed angrily, "What's wrong with Old Master Shen's brain? If there's something, come at me. Why target my wife?"
"Because you want to have her name replace Du Junlin's and be entered into the ancestral hall."
Li Xiao provided the answer: "Because 20 years ago, this marriage was arranged by the eight elders of Li Family Village, including your grandparents, at a grand event attended by top families. In the most formal manner, it was agreed with the Shen family. If a daughter of the Shen family cannot become the wife of the village chief of Li Family Village, it is a disgrace to the entire Shen family. It must be washed away with blood."
"Madman—"
Li Qianfan stared blankly for a long time, then weakly cursed again.
"But Old Master Shen said that besides Su Ziyu, you can be a couple with whichever woman you want."
Li Xiao added, "This is the Shen family's final bottom line. And I have also promised the Shen family that I will never interfere with your marriage with Junlin."
"But I only want to grow old hand in hand with Ziyu."
Li Qianfan murmured to himself. As he said this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The night he returned from the provincial capital, it was fortunate that he managed to control himself and did not become a couple with Su Ziyu.
Otherwise—
Su Ziyu might already be dead.
The Shen family must have someone in Qingyun secretly watching Su Ziyu.
She is a young girl, a new wife, and those watching her secretly can tell at a glance.
Li Qianfan is determined to marry Su Ziyu, right?
Well then!
Let you guard her, but not touch her!!
Dare to touch, then kill!!!
"Du Junlin, I'll curse your mother."
This was Li Qianfan's most helpless lament—
Li Xiao comforted him gently, "Son, your marriage is a top priority for Li Family Village. Your mother, grandmother, and I are not suitable to interfere. You handle it as you see fit. But we will provide you with the greatest help when you need legitimate assistance."
"Mm."
Li Qianfan knew his father's difficulties.
He would resolve his own marriage.
If he couldn't even resolve his own marriage, how could he have the face to be a man?
"The cart will find its way when it reaches the mountain."
Li Qianfan exhaled a heavy breath, suppressing the rage in his heart.
Li Xiao could also sense the change in Li Qianfan's emotions and asked with a smile, "I heard you asked your mother to impersonate a beggar woman to meet Su family people?"
"Yes."
Li Qianfan replied truthfully, "I also told my mother-in-law that you are an international big-time robber."
Li Xiao—
If it weren't for the fact that this brat was pitifully entangled by Du Junlin, he would have cursed long ago.
He coughed dryly, and Li Xiao changed the subject again. "Did Aunt Ran say that your wife was bullied a few days ago?"
"Yes, I was careless. I underestimated those people's courage and greed."
Mentioning this matter, Li Qianfan began to feel annoyed. "Dad, can you talk to Aunt Ran? She tattooed two women without my consent. This puts me in a very passive position."
Li Xiao chuckled. "But your Aunt Ran said she was doing it out of kindness, and found a coach for them."
"What kind of coach is that?"
Li Qianfan's face turned red, and he blurted out, "Do you think I'm as shameless as you? Whether old, young, or middle-aged, as long as they're not men and they're pretty, you just bring them into your home."
"Insolence."
Li Xiao was furious. "You scoundrel, how dare you speak about your father like that!?"
"I'm just telling the truth. Do you need to feign anger?"
Li Qianfan said nonchalantly, "I'm not talking to you anymore. I have to go to work. Oh, right, after I develop my women's clothing line, help me organize an international fashion exhibition in Tiandong. I need my women's clothing to make a stunning debut at the convention."
This request was no trouble for Longxu at all.
It could be settled with a single phone call.
"Wait."
Li Xiao, however, said, "There's a potential danger I need to warn you about. Although the possibility of encountering this danger is very low if you just live a life of ease and idleness in Qingyun."
"What danger?"
Li Qianfan immediately became serious.
A danger that his father called a danger must be a real danger.
"The dark web is rising again."
Li Xiao said slowly, "The global nights are about to welcome a bloodbath."
