Upon hearing Li Bing’s words, Li Weihai felt a slight sense of relief, but his eyes flickered.
There were some things he didn’t say explicitly, but the answer was always in his heart, and he was very sure of it.
Li Xiaotian’s sudden appearance, his close relationship with Tian Fu, crippling Li Chaoyue upon their first encounter with the Li family, and his threat to destroy the Li family.
If there were no past grievances, would the opponent be foolish enough to provoke a top aristocratic family?
However, this answer was destined to be buried deep in his heart; he couldn’t afford to have any more stains on himself.
“Then, let’s restrain the family members these few days and prevent them from seeking revenge on Li Xiaotian privately,” Li Weihai instructed calmly.
“Also, the day after tomorrow, we’ll host the heads of the major aristocratic families in the capital. Invite them to the Li family to watch the show!”
“Yes! Father!” Li Zhi responded quickly, his expression also improving somewhat, as he only had to endure two more days before he could personally avenge his son.
“Grandfather, should we send people to guard outside the Dragon Palace Hotel to prevent Li Xiaotian from escaping?” Li Wenbo chimed in.
“Hmm, I almost forgot about that. Send more people to guard Li Xiaotian, don’t let him sneak away. Remember to send people who won’t conflict with the military.”
Li Weihai quickly instructed, lest the heads of the major families come to watch the show, only for Li Xiaotian to escape, which would be embarrassing.
“Heh heh, Father, don’t worry. I’ve already sent people to keep watch. As long as Li Xiaotian dares to come out, I’ll immediately bring people to tie him back,” Li Bing said with a grin. As long as Li Shanhai didn’t make a move, defeating Li Xiaotian would be as easy as pie for him.
“Good! At that time, we will show all the aristocratic families in the capital what happens when you become an enemy of the Li family!” Li Weihai’s expression improved, and his mood brightened.
“Furthermore, send people to capture Li Xiaotian’s wife and girlfriend as well. At that time, I will have them confess their guilt to us along with Li Xiaotian!”
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Li family showed joy. The thorn in their side, Li Xiaotian, could finally be removed!
Their Li family could finally hold their heads high!
Next, the Li family began to grandly distribute invitations, inviting the heads of the major aristocratic families in the capital to the banquet the day after tomorrow.
At the same time, the East Mountain was adorned with lanterns and colorful streamers. The Li family procured various supplies, and astonishingly, even erected a huge stage on the summit of the East Mountain.
Although outsiders didn’t know the specifics of the Li family’s actions, they could guess.
Even though many aristocratic families felt the Li family’s actions were excessive, and some families even began to resent the Li family in their hearts due to the Li family’s destruction of the Zhao family,
They couldn’t refuse the Li family’s invitation, because they were afraid. The Li family’s five thousand heavenly soldiers were on the East Mountain. If they angered the Li family, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Meanwhile, the Dragon King’s Palace forces were fully in place, awaiting Li Xiaotian’s command.
A day passed amidst the tension and anticipation of the major aristocratic families in the capital, all waiting for the date Li Xiaotian had mentioned.
The next day, the military received an order to liquidate all of the Li family's assets and be prepared to take over at any time to prevent widespread unrest if the Li family were suddenly wiped out.
The military personnel who received this order were all shocked. The military issuing such an order meant that the Li family was definitely going to be destroyed?
However, all the personnel who received this order were isolated by Li Shanhai, preventing them from leaking any information.
Among these individuals was Long Batian. When he received the order, he was not only shocked but also filled with fear.
He had vowed to destroy Li Xiaotian back then. Li Shanhai had reprimanded him, and he had been unconvinced, planning to find an opportunity to regain his honor.
But now, he dared not, not even dare to have such thoughts.
While filled with fear, Long Batian also felt fortunate. Fortunately, he was part of the military and was favored by Li Shanhai; otherwise, he would have been finished this time as well.
On this day, Li Xiaotian confessed his feud with the Li family to Ye Qingmei, explaining the entire sequence of events.
After listening, Ye Qingmei embraced Li Xiaotian and cried. Their daughter, Tiantian, didn’t understand anything, but seeing her mother cry sadly while holding her father, she also began to cry.
“Xiaotian, we’ll go to the Li family together then. Even if we die, our family of three will die together,” Ye Qingmei said with red eyes.
Even knowing that Li Xiaotian’s enemy was the colossal Li family, and that Li Xiaotian had no chance of winning against them, Ye Qingmei was not afraid at all. As long as their family was together, she feared no danger.
“Don’t worry, I’ve made all the arrangements. Everything will be fine,” Li Xiaotian said, gently patting Ye Qingmei. There were some arrangements he didn’t want to tell her about yet, fearing she would be scared.
Li Xiaotian’s eyes flashed with brilliance. He had waited for this day for so long. He wanted to publicly destroy the Li family, to let everyone in the capital know who he was, and to bring ruin to the Li family’s reputation forever!
The next day, a massive stone monument appeared at the entrance of the Dragon Palace Hotel. It was nine zhang tall and was towed by a truck, erected upright.
The inscription on the stone monument completely shocked the entire capital!
Tombstone of Li Zhen, Patriarch of the Li Family!
Tombstone of the Li Clan!
Tombstone of Tian Meng!
A single monument, commemorating three people!
Upon learning the contents of the monument, everyone seemed to have a sudden epiphany, understanding the truth behind why Li Xiaotian wanted to destroy the Li family.
However, they were not Li family members and thus didn’t know why Li Xiaotian was doing this, nor did they know who Tian Meng on the monument was!
Only the Li family! Only the core members of the Li family knew everything!
In the Li family’s old residence, upon learning the contents of the monument, everyone in the Li family fell silent. This was because all matters concerning the former patriarch, Li Zhen, were a taboo within the Li family, and Li Weihai had forbidden anyone from discussing them.
But now, the appearance of the monument at the entrance of the Dragon Palace Hotel made the Li family’s decade-old scandal impossible to conceal any longer.
In the Li family hall, everyone’s faces were grim. Li Weihai sat silently, his expression unreadable.
The rest of the Li family members remained quiet, not daring to make a sound, as Li Zhen was Li Weihai’s son, and Li Weihai had tacitly agreed when Li Bing and Li Zhi intended to kill Li Zhen.
After all, if Li Weihai had not wanted Li Zhen to die, no matter how much Li Zhi and Li Bing had made a fuss, they would not have succeeded.
Therefore, it was not entirely wrong to say that those who killed Li Zhen and his family were Li Zhi and Li Bing, or rather, it was Li Weihai who killed his own son and his family!
The Li family members were anxiously awaiting Li Weihai’s reaction. Suddenly, Li Weihai stood up abruptly, smashing everything beside him, and cursed angrily.
“Bastard! Utter bastard! Li Xiaotian! Li Tian! Well done! A disloyal bastard! He has the Li family’s blood flowing through him, yet not only is he ungrateful, but he also presumptuously claims to destroy the Li family!”
“Unworthy descendant! To actually make me, his grandfather, kneel before him, his grandson! Worse than an animal!”
