Small dormitory, outside the house.
At this moment in the small dormitory, the rest of the children have fallen into a deep sleep, only two figures are standing in the corridor, seemingly communicating something.
"Grandpa Liu, what's wrong?"
Wu Quan was wearing black pajamas and looked at the serious old man Liu in front of him with confusion.
Old man Liu opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and finally said:
"Koizumi... let's move out."
Hearing this, Wu Quan's body trembled slightly, "Move away? Grandpa Liu, didn't we agree not to move?"
"This matter is not that simple anymore." Old Man Liu sighed. "Now the gangsters are forcing us to leave in more and more extreme ways. I'm worried that next time, they will just rush in and use violence without caring about anything. I have nothing to fear with my old bones, but..."
Old Liu looked up at the children sleeping in the small dormitory and pursed his lips:
"Xiaoquan, you are a smart kid. I know you don't want us to move out because you can't bear to leave here. You don't want Shen to come back and not be able to find home..."
But it doesn't matter. Now that Shen's comrades are here, if we move to another place, we can give them the address and Shen will be able to find us next time."
Wuquan frowned slightly and shook his head decisively:
"No... No, we can't move. Grandpa Liu, don't be afraid. If they really dare to break in, I will drive them away!"
"Hey, kid, why are you so stubborn?" Old Man Liu said earnestly, "The Li family is a big family, and we, the old and the young, can't fight against them... Go to school tomorrow morning without worry, and when you come back from school, we will have basically packed up and we can move out then.
Grandpa, I rented a large yard in Xicheng. The environment is better than here. Although it is a bit far from your school, it only takes half an hour to get there by bus. "
"no!"
Anxiety appeared on Wuquan's face, "Grandpa! We can't move! I..."
"I have already made up my mind about this matter." Before Wuquan could finish, Old Man Liu said seriously, "Xiaoquan, this matter is too important. You can't just follow your temper... Go back to sleep."
Old Man Liu patted Wu Quan on the shoulder and walked into the dim little dormitory. Wu Quan was left standing alone in the corridor, motionless like a sculpture.
After a moment, he took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the dormitory.
…
It rained continuously all night.
Outside the gate of the Li Group's manor, a figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
Lin Qiye's gaze passed through the gap in the iron gate and glanced at the several brightly lit mansions in the manor. After a moment of silence, he lowered his head and slowly put on the Monkey King mask that had not been used for a long time.
Although he said that he could not take action against the Li Group, Lin Qiye still could not stand idly by.
Hanshan Orphanage is where Shen Qingzhu grew up. Old Man Liu raised him, and the children respected him like their younger brothers and sisters. Although Lin Qiye didn't know what Old Man Liu was insisting on and was unwilling to move away from there, it didn't matter.
The important thing is that Lin Qiye could predict what actions Shen Qingzhu would take if he were standing here now.
Their lives were saved by Shen Qingzhu, so what if he risked being punished to do this for him?
Lin Qiye rejected Cao Yuan's proposal simply because he did not want to involve other people. Since everyone was going to be punished, the fewer people who received punishment, the better.
Lin Qiye stood in the rain wearing a Monkey King mask. He flashed over the gate and flew straight towards the largest mansion among them.
Before leaving, Lin Qiye had learned about the Li Group. The actual controller, Li Jianbai, lived in this manor. Today happened to be the day when the Li Group was holding a cocktail party to celebrate the acquisition of another real estate giant, so most of the senior executives would gather in this manor tonight.
Lin Qiye's mental power swept across the entire mansion and quickly locked onto Li Jianbai's position. He pushed out the handle of the [Zhanbai] sword with his fingertips and disappeared into the void.
…
Inside the mansion.
Li Jianbai, chairman of the Li Group, was walking among the crowd with a glass of champagne in his hand and smiling.
Fifty percent of the participants in this cocktail party were senior executives of the Li Group, 20% were other friends from the industry who came to show their support, and the remaining 30% were some celebrities and socialites specially invited by Li Jianbai.
The atmosphere of the cocktail party was better than he expected. The guests were obviously in good spirits, especially the older executives, who had their arms around beautiful women with one hand and wine glasses in the other, toasting and chatting happily.
"Mr. Li, good evening."
"Mr. Zhao, how is business lately?"
"Well, that's it. Business is not going well these days... By the way, I heard that your Li Group recently acquired the land in the old city? Are you planning to make any big moves? Can you tell us so that we can follow your Li Group and get some benefits."
"Mr. Zhao, you are too polite. I have always been willing to cooperate with you on the project in the old city. Please come upstairs to discuss it in detail after the cocktail party."
“Hahahaha, okay!”
“…”
Li Jianbai walked around the cocktail party with ease. After greeting almost all the guests, he walked up to the second floor at a leisurely pace, leaned against the magnificent wall, and looked down at the people chatting and laughing below.
A hint of contempt appeared in his eyes.
Li Jianbai went out to make his living at the age of 20. He started from scratch and single-handedly created the real estate legend of the Li Group, a business myth touted by countless people.
Although he used a lot of dirty tricks in the process, so what? In today's world, everyone only cares about the results, and the process... can be hidden or tampered with.
He had long been accustomed to being superior, and politeness and smiles were just means to get by... However, a piece of news he received this afternoon made him feel a little unhappy.
Baili Group actually wants to acquire Li?
Who do they think they are?
Can you just buy the empire that I have worked hard to build for more than 30 years?
To outsiders, this was an affirmation of Li’s achievements in the real estate industry by the Baili Group, but to Li Jianbai, this was an insult!
A hint of coldness appeared in Li Jianbai's eyes, and he raised his head and drank the champagne in his hand.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, a hand suddenly stretched out from the void behind him, grabbed his collar, and dragged him directly into the rippling void crack!
The next moment, Li Jianbai's figure disappeared from the spot.
…
Bang--!!
In the dim and cramped underground wine cellar, Lin Qiye casually threw Li Jianbai out. The latter bumped into two wooden racks in succession and fell to the ground with a groan.
Li Jianbai groaned as he got up from the ground. He shook his dizzy head and looked at his surroundings. He was stunned where he stood.
"Where is this place? You are... who are you?"
Li Jianbai saw the figure in front of him wearing a ferocious Monkey King mask and spoke in horror.
