Zhou Guirong, whose face was bruised from the beating, was also crying and sobbing on the side.
"What are you crying for? Didn't I already find someone to avenge you? If you keep crying, I'll throw you into the kennel to feed the dogs," Li Jincheng roared in frustration.
Although he had sent people out and received some external assistance and support, he felt somewhat agitated for some reason.
The groups of people he sent out had not responded for a long time. If it weren't for his trust in the supporters behind the scenes, he would have thought that his scheme had been exposed.
"I'm not crying anymore, I'm not crying anymore." Zhou Guirong was startled and quickly wiped away her tears.
Normally, Li Jincheng would comfort her if she cried or acted cute, but this time her trump card seemed to have failed.
"Get out of here, I hate seeing you." Li Jincheng said, somewhat annoyed, looking at Zhou Guirong, whose face was swollen like a pig's head.
Zhou Guirong didn't dare to refute and quickly stood up and left.
"Dad, is there still no news?" Li Bo asked.
“No, but don’t worry, neither Ye Xingchen nor the Tang family will escape this time.” Li Jincheng said with a gloomy face, “I will twist Ye Xingchen’s head off to avenge you.”
"I can't let that bastard get away with this." Having lost his manhood, Li Bo's mind was twisted and deranged: "I want his whole family dead, I..."
"Shut up." Li Jincheng's face turned ashen with fear. He dared to mess with Ye Xingchen, but he didn't have the guts to do that with the whole family. After all, Xia Jingyi was no pushover.
It's a personal grudge with Ye Xingchen, but if Xia Jingyi is involved, it's going against the higher-ups, and they'll kill you in no time.
“My life is worthless now. I’ll fight them to the death and make sure they don’t get away with it,” Li Bo said through gritted teeth.
"You're absolutely right, your worthless life is worthless now." Suddenly, a voice came from behind, followed by several muffled groans, and the bodyguards guarding the gate collapsed to the ground with thuds.
Ye Xingchen walked in slowly, his murderous aura still lingering, clearly indicating that he had fought his way here.
"Ye Xingchen, you..." Li Jincheng was so frightened that his face turned pale. He took a step back, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the sofa with a thud.
"Stop struggling. All the groups of people you sent out, including the outside help, have now been brought to justice." Ye Xingchen sat down. "The police have now seized your businesses. You were involved in drug trafficking, arms dealing, and even human organs."
"You're making baseless accusations! I didn't!" Li Jincheng roared.
"Don't get agitated. Whether you've done it or not isn't up to me to decide; it's up to the police." Ye Xingchen stared at him. "The Tang family has extremely strict control over the Four Cities Godfather. Everyone else can behave themselves, so why can't you? Why did you have to escalate things to this point? Who's to blame?"
"Ye Xingchen, what exactly do you want?" Li Jincheng gave in.
"The reason you're so bold is because you have the Chen family's support, right?" Ye Xingchen stared at Li Jin with a sidelong glance: "The Chen family is considered a wealthy family in Yanjing, but they can't be called a prestigious family at all."
"Moreover, they have the support of hidden families behind them, so they have become more and more unscrupulous over the years. They want to control all the forces in Yanjing and replace some famous families. And you, Li Jincheng, have naturally become their dog. You want to be the king of the underworld and control all the underground forces in Yanjing, right?"
"Since you already know, why ask any more questions?" Li Jincheng smiled bitterly, glaring at Ye Xingchen through gritted teeth: "I took this risk because you forced me to. You crippled my son and publicly humiliated my wife."
"If I don't stand up for you after you've gone this far, am I even a man?"
"Have you ever considered that I did it on purpose?" Ye Xingchen laughed.
"What did I do to offend you?" Li Jincheng stared at Ye Xingchen, his eyes practically spitting fire.
"You haven't offended anyone, but I've heard that you have some connections with the forces in Jinluo City in the Southwest Frontier," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
“I understand now, I finally understand.” Li Jincheng nodded, a bitter smile on his face: “You want to get in touch with Jin Luocheng through me, and then retrieve your dead father’s remains.”
"I suppose so. Besides, I also want to know if my father's death has anything to do with the Chen family," Ye Xingchen said calmly.
"Hehe, Ye Xingchen, you've schemed so deeply." Li Jincheng laughed loudly, "You forced me to this point because you know these secrets?"
“Yes.” Ye Xingchen nodded: “Because I know you won’t tell me through normal means, so I can only use these unconventional methods to pressure you.”
“If you tell me what you want to know now, I guarantee you can leave Yanjing safely; otherwise, you can expect to end up in jail eating peanuts.”
"Then do you know what methods the people of Jinluo City have?" Li Jincheng sneered, "If I tell you, not only will I die, but my wife, children, family, and even my entire clan will not survive."
"It's better for one of my people to die than for my entire clan to be wiped out."
"What kind of monsters are they that you're so afraid of them?" Ye Xingchen asked, puzzled.
He didn't know much about that place. He only knew that the other side had three experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, but judging from Li Jincheng's appearance, Jin Luocheng's methods were probably far more than just three experts at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
"They are far more terrifying than floods and wild beasts." Li Jincheng said in a chilling tone, "Ye Xingchen, let me give you a piece of advice: stay in Yanjing and don't try to mess with Jinluo City. Neither the Chen family nor Jinluo City are people you can afford to offend right now."
"Is that so? I can't afford to offend him?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and took a dagger from Li Jincheng's waist.
"Not bad, have you used it to stab someone?" Ye Xingchen asked, raising his eyes.
“The number of people who passed cannot be counted on two hands,” Li Jincheng sneered.
“Not bad, there’s quite a menacing aura up there.” Ye Xingchen nodded slightly. Suddenly, he grabbed Li Jincheng’s right hand, pressed it onto the table, and then without hesitation picked up a dagger and stabbed it through Li Jincheng’s palm.
"Ah..." Li Jincheng let out a pig-like scream as the dagger pierced through the back of his hand, pinning his right hand to the table.
The row of blood grooves on the back of the dagger rendered his right hand useless.
Ye Xingchen gripped the hilt of the dagger and then gently turned it.
Li Jincheng rolled his eyes; the intense pain in his palm almost made him faint.
"Ye Xingchen, just kill me," Li Jincheng said with all his might.
"The most painful thing in this world is not death, but being tortured to the point of near death. I completely agree with that statement." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, then pulled out a dagger and stabbed it into Li Jincheng's thigh.
After a period of torture, Li Jincheng was half-dead, but he was stubborn and refused to say a word.
