No sooner had Old Master Li finished speaking than a handsome, aloof man with an extraordinary bearing respectfully said:

"Yes, I will definitely complete the mission!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zhi turned around without the slightest hesitation.

As Old Master Li watched Lin Zhi turn away, he felt much more at ease.

Lin Zhi has been by his side for several years, but he has never been given important responsibilities.

However, recently, Lin Zhi's family has experienced some changes. Perhaps due to the shock from his family situation, Lin Zhi has become more motivated than ever before, and his martial arts skills and intelligence have won the favor of Old Master Li.

In addition, since Old Master Li had recently saved Lin Zhi's family's lives with money, Lin Zhi is now almost wholeheartedly working for him.

The only person he can really rely on right now is probably Lin Zhi!

Time passed slowly, and Old Master Li knew that Li Zhanting was on his way, so he sat and waited for Li Zhanting with agitation.

Suddenly, in a split second, Old Master Li seemed to realize something and jumped up from his seat!

etc!

The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. How could things be such a coincidence!

The spies sent by Li Zhanting happened to be people he trusted and relied on. If he eliminated them all, wouldn't that be the same as cutting off his own arms?

If this is true, that's fine, but if it's a trap deliberately set for him by Li Zhanting...

As if waking from a dream, Old Master Li suddenly stood up from his chair, calling out, "Lin Zhi! Lin Zhi!"

He shouted twice, panting, and Lin Zhi immediately rushed to Old Master Li's side. His eyes and brows revealed his concern and worry for Old Master Li. "Master, what's wrong? Is there anything you need?"

Old Master Li gripped Lin Zhi's wrist tightly, his voice trembling with excitement. "What about those people I just had you get rid of?! Are they still alive? Tell me! Are they still alive?!"

Lin Zhi was slightly taken aback, seemingly not understanding what Old Master Li meant by that.

He answered truthfully, "I disposed of it all two minutes ago as you instructed."

Old Master Li felt a thunderous boom in his head, as if the sky above him was collapsing!

He stumbled suddenly, even falling heavily into a chair, and seemed somewhat dazed.

If these people are really spies sent by Li Zhanting, that's fine, but what if... this is a trap that Li Zhanting deliberately set for him!

Lin Zhi looked bewildered and asked, "Master, what happened?"

“Li Zhanting, he…”

Before Old Master Li could finish speaking, a servant rushed in, "Master! Master Ting is back! The entire Li family hall is in an uproar, Master, you should go and see!"

A chilling glint flashed in Old Master Li's aged eyes, which were filled with deep hatred!

Li Zhanting... let's settle this score!

At this moment, the Li family hall was bustling with people.

Li Mingde, together with members of the collateral branches of the Li family, completely surrounded the Li family's main hall!

Everyone is coming for Li Zhanting, and a battle is about to break out!

Li Mingde's smug gaze was fixed on Li Zhanting, and he said with a forced smile, "Li Zhanting, as the heir of the Li family, you leaked the core secrets of the Li Group to competitors, causing countless financial losses to the Li Group. What makes you think you deserve to be the heir of the Li family?!"

"If the Li family and the Li Group fall into your hands, they will be finished! How can you face your missing father and mother?"

Looking at so many collateral branches of the Li family, Li Mingde couldn't help but feel a secret delight and a cold laugh.

So what if Li Zhanting is powerful?

Even if Old Master Li doesn't like him, he still has to obediently hand over the position of Li family heir!

The collateral branch of the Li family, which had previously dared not utter a word in front of Li Zhanting, finally revealed their true colors now that the situation was ripe.

"Yes! That's right! The evidence is conclusive! Li Zhanting, what else do you have to say?"

Li Zhanting was dressed in a dark black, handmade custom-made suit. His tall and slender figure was as straight as a pine tree. Just by standing there, his cold, arrogant aura emanated from within, making him the focus of everyone's attention unintentionally.

His cold gaze swept across everyone's faces with a half-smile, as if he wanted to remember them all, making everyone's scalp tingle.

Very well, some people have finally shown their true colors.

"Leaking the Li family's core secrets?" A cold smile curled at the corner of his thin lips:

"We'll talk about this later. We have more important things to deal with right now."

As he finished speaking, he casually smiled and looked up, his sharp gaze falling on Old Master Li, who was being helped by Lin Zhi, hurrying towards the center of the hall.

Old Master Li met Li Zhanting's sharp eyes, his brows furrowing deeply, a profound sense of disgust rising within him.

He pounded the floor with his cane, exasperated, and said, "Resolve it later? How do you expect me to resolve it?!"

"Li Zhanting! The Li family has been rooted at home and abroad for so many years, and has never produced a scoundrel like you! Have you forgotten how distinguished your parents were back then? Now that you have betrayed the family and the Li family, what right do you have to stay in the Li family?"

After saying that, he said coldly, "There's no need to hesitate any longer! You should give up your position as the heir of the Li family!"

"Furthermore, you are suspected of leaking trade secrets, causing the Li Group at least 5 billion yuan in losses. This constitutes the crime of commercial theft, and the Li family has the right to hand you over to the judicial authorities! We will also permanently remove you from the Li family genealogy!"

Even if it's my grandson! I won't show any mercy!

A cold, icy light gleamed in Li Zhanting's deep eyes as he arrogantly raised his gaze:

"Permanently remove me from the Li family genealogy? I think... it should be you who should be permanently removed from the Li family genealogy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a murmur of shock and discussion erupted around him:

"Has Li Zhanting gone mad? Does he even know what he's saying?"

"That's right, the Li family was supported by Old Master Li back then, how could he say such a thing?"

The old master Li's fingers trembled slightly from the powerful aura of Li Zhanting.

He quickly regained his composure, frowned, and said sternly, "You unworthy descendant of the Li family, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Li Zhanting's lips curled into a mocking sneer, and he waved his hand dismissively:

"Bring Li Qinghao up!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and soon they saw Li Qinghao, covered in blood, being thrown into the hall like a rag!

When Li Mingde saw Li Qinghao tortured into such a grotesque state, he was heartbroken!

"Son! What...what's wrong with you?!"

"Li Zhanting, what have you done to my son?! Release my son right now!"

Upon hearing Li Mingde's voice, Li Qinghao felt as if he had grasped a lifeline. "Dad! Help me! I'm in so much pain, Dad!"

Li Zhanting, however, calmly looked at Old Master Li in his chair, a smile of complete control playing on his lips:

"Li Qinghao, don't you want to live? Then tell me, about the secrets of the Li family."
