"What is this?" Li Junming asked, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Take a look?" Ye Xingchen looked at Li Junming with a playful expression.
When Li Junming picked up the photo and looked at it closely, his face instantly turned green.
The woman in the photo is his beloved wife, Xu Jie, while the different men are members of his own family.
He has his own younger brother, cousins, and various direct descendants of his family.
The last stack of photos was of his paralyzed father.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was completely devastated. He never imagined that his seemingly gentle and intellectual wife was such a promiscuous slut.
"Big brother, what's wrong?" Li Zhengen looked at his brother's extremely pale face and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.
"Go to hell!" Li Junming suddenly flew into a rage. He punched his younger brother to the ground, and then his fists rained down on him.
He grabbed a teacup and smashed it on Lee Jung-eun's head, then picked up a solid wood chair and started smashing it at his brother without any rhyme or reason.
"Are you crazy?" Lee Jung-eun covered his head and kept dodging, but he couldn't dodge in time and was eventually beaten until he was covered in blood.
"What are you doing? Stop!" Li Zhenguo roared. "He's your brother! Are you going to beat him to death?"
“Brother, this is my brother, and you too.” Li Junming grabbed the photo and threw it all over his father.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with a look that seemed to want to devour his own father.
When the old man saw the photo, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
This is a complete scandal. If this gets out, the Li family's reputation in the industry will be ruined.
"Look, is this the gentle, intelligent, and capable Xu Jie you all know?" Ye Xingchen said with a mocking smile. "That's why I said the Li family would have been kicked out long ago if it weren't for Li Tianqi holding them back."
"They're all incompetent fools, yet they all think they're so great. It's ridiculous."
Ye Xingchen's words silenced everyone. Li Junming slumped down, asking, "Where is she now?"
"They failed to assassinate my sister and me that day and then disappeared. I'm currently looking for people to investigate them," Li Tianqi said.
"I want to find her and ask her why myself," Li Junming said through gritted teeth.
In his eyes, his wife had always been a gentle and capable homemaker, but he never imagined that she would be such a promiscuous slut.
Moreover, her target was actually her own family, which Li Junming couldn't accept.
“There’s nothing to ask. Do you still remember the Xu family from twenty years ago?” Li Tianqi asked.
"The Xu family? Our Li family's rival?" Li Junming was startled.
"Yes, because they lost the competition with us, the Xu family was destroyed. Xu Jie is the daughter of your old friend Xu Yuan, and that sorcerer is Xu Yuan's sister."
Li Tianqi said, "They broke into our house to seek revenge and take control of the Li family. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
The Li family members all looked ashen-faced, extremely dismayed, as their entire clan had been manipulated by a single woman.
Moreover, with such a chaotic relationship, if word gets out, the Li family will be finished.
"Don't take it too seriously," Ye Xingchen smiled.
"If it were you, would you not take it to heart?" Li Junming said with a dark face.
“Xu Jie is a disciple of the Enchantress Sect. Her seductive arts are so powerful that even non-eunuchs would find them irresistible,” Ye Xingchen said.
"She came prepared?" Li Junming's expression grew even more grim.
The person he had shared a bed with for so many years had an unimaginable identity, which he found hard to accept for a while.
Moreover, her actions enraged him immensely.
"Your feud with the Xu family is practically an ancestral one," Ye Xingchen glanced at him and said, "If we hadn't meticulously planned to wipe out your entire Li family, what would she be doing here? Offering herself up for your whole family to sleep with?"
Li Junming's face was ashen, and he remained silent. He slumped down and said, "Tianqi, I have decided to step down as the head of the family and let you take over. From now on, your responsibilities will be heavier, so you should be prepared."
"Don't worry, Dad, I know what to do." Li Tianqi nodded slowly. "The most urgent thing is to find where Xu Jie is. If we don't get rid of her, she's a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment."
Everyone left the conference room. Li Tianqi slumped weakly into his chair, rubbing his forehead. "This is really troublesome."
"Being in that position naturally means facing all sorts of troubles," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
"Do you have any way to cure my father's illness?" Li Tianqi asked.
"Yes, but are you really willing to let him get better?" Ye Xingchen said.
"What do you mean?" Li Tianqi was slightly taken aback and looked up at Ye Xingchen with some confusion.
"Although I don't know your old man, I can tell from his appearance that he's not a good person."
Ye Xingchen said, "The reason he stepped down was because his health wouldn't allow it. If his health really improved, do you think he would cause you trouble?"
"This is really... troublesome." Li Tianqi frowned deeply and slammed his hand on the table: "Then let him remain paralyzed for now."
"Xu Jie hasn't been eliminated yet. There are plenty of her spies in the family. If the old man jumps out now to cause me trouble, I really won't be able to handle it."
"Yes, that's exactly what I meant." Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Anyway, thank you. If you hadn't intercepted those photos, they would probably be all over Yanjing by now." Li Tianqi said with a wry smile, "At that time, our Li family would become a laughing stock in Yanjing, and we probably wouldn't even be able to keep our status."
"We're allies, so we help each other." Ye Xingchen smiled. "Finding Xu Jie isn't as troublesome as you might think; we just need to lay out the bait."
"What kind of bait?" Li Tianqi was slightly taken aback.
"I'm afraid you won't agree if I tell you." Ye Xingchen glanced at Li Tianqi.
“No.” Li Tianqi’s expression changed slightly. “I will think of another way. I can’t let Yi Jin take the risk.”
Li Tianqi was a smart man; he left things at that.
Xu Jie hates Li Tianqi and his sister the most. As long as she can control Li Yijin, Li Tianqi will naturally compromise.
Ye Xingchen's meaning was already very clear: use Li Yijin as bait to lure Xu Jie out.
Of course, Li Tianqi would never agree with Ye Xingchen's statement, and he would rather use other methods to resolve the matter.
“Alright, I know you wouldn’t joke about your sister’s life, so let’s discuss this matter later.” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: “However, Xu Jie might not stay long; she might not be able to resist making the first move.”
