Beijing Hotel!
A five-star hotel, luxuriously decorated and serving delicious food; those who dine and stay here are all wealthy people.
In a private room on the sixth floor of a hotel in Beijing, Tang Zhongxin, the head of the Tang family, was hosting a banquet for Li Shuyang, the head of the Li family.
The two were sitting in the large private room, having just ordered their food, so the huge round table was empty.
"Brother Tang, what brings you here tonight?" Li Shuyang asked with a smile. For many years, the relationship between the Tang and Li families had been merely average, and tonight Tang Zhongxin's unprecedented invitation to dinner left Li Shuyang truly puzzled about Tang Zhongxin's true intentions.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhongxin smiled and said, "Brother Li, there's no rush. We can talk about it after we've eaten and drunk our fill."
Before long, the food and wine were served, and Tang Zhongxin raised his glass to toast Li Shuyang.
After several rounds of dishes and drinks, Li Shuyang put down his chopsticks and said, "Brother Tang, can you speak now?"
Why Tang Zhongxin invited him to dinner at the Beijing Hotel tonight was a question that had been bothering Li Shuyang. With this question in his mind, Li Shuyang had no appetite for anything.
Moreover, as the head of the Li family, Li Shuyang has tasted all kinds of delicacies.
If Tang Zhongxin hadn't said he had something important to tell him, Li Shuyang would have gotten up and left long ago.
Upon hearing this, Tang Zhongxin put down his chopsticks and asked, "Brother Li, do you know that the person who injured your Yihao has arrived in the capital?"
Tang Zhongxin asked this question because he wanted to use the Li family to teach Liu Xiaoyuan a lesson. In this way, he could teach Liu Xiaoyuan a lesson without completely offending him, which was a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone.
When Li Shuyang heard Tang Zhongxin suddenly ask this question, his mind immediately started working. He knew that Tang Zhongxin wouldn't ask about this for no reason, and that he had probably been called over tonight because it was related to Liu Xiaoyuan's matter.
"I wonder why Brother Tang suddenly asked about this?" Li Shuyang neither said he didn't know nor that he did know, but instead asked Tang Zhongxin why he suddenly asked about this.
Tang Zhongxin cursed Li Shuyang as an old fox in his heart, but still smiled and said, "Because the reason I invited Brother Li over tonight is related to Liu Xiaoyuan."
"Oh!" Li Shuyang said, then asked, "Did this young man also injure someone from the Tang family, or did he offend the Tang family in some other way?"
Tang Zhongxin said, "To be honest, this kid is extremely arrogant. He takes advantage of his good relationship with Doctor Xiao Qingfeng to look down on others. Therefore, I want to teach this kid a lesson. And I just happen to know that this kid is the murderer who injured my nephew Yihao, so I specially invited you, Brother Li, over tonight."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuyang considered the truthfulness of Tang Zhongxin's words. Indeed, Li Shuyang had witnessed Liu Xiaoyuan's arrogance firsthand, and his relationship with Xiao Qingfeng was indeed quite good; Tang Zhongxin was not lying about this.
However, Li Shuyang didn't believe that Tang Zhongxin would be so kind as to invite him over just to help him deal with Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Hmph! Tang Zhongxin is probably plotting to kill someone with a borrowed knife!" Li Shuyang thought to himself.
"Then, Brother Tang, how do you intend to teach this boy a lesson?" Li Shuyang asked.
Tang Zhongxin said, "I specifically called Brother Li over tonight because I wanted to discuss countermeasures with you. I would appreciate your guidance!"
Li Shuyang chuckled and said, "Brother Tang, you think too highly of me. I wouldn't dare to show off my limited skills in front of you!"
"Brother Li, you are too modest," Tang Zhongxin said with a smile. "It was precisely because I had no other choice that I invited you here to discuss countermeasures!"
The two of them continued talking back and forth, neither willing to reveal their own ideas, because they each had their own ulterior motives.
Tang Zhongxin didn't want to completely offend Liu Xiaoyuan, and he even wanted to bring Liu Xiaoyuan into their Tang family.
As for Li Shuyang, because of his mother's illness, Liu Xiaoyuan had once said that he had a way to find wild blood lingzhi that was more than five years old. Therefore, before finding wild blood lingzhi that was more than five years old, Li Shuyang would not dare to touch Liu Xiaoyuan.
"Brother Tang, it's getting late, and we've had our fill of food and drink. My mother hasn't been feeling well lately, so I need to go back and take care of her!" Li Shuyang said, standing up from his chair.
Seeing that Li Shuyang was about to leave, Tang Zhongxin quickly called out, "Brother Li, please wait a moment, please wait a moment!"
"Oh, is there anything else, Brother Tang?" Li Shuyang stopped and asked.
Tang Zhongxin said, "Brother Li, I have already figured out how to teach Liu Xiaoyuan a lesson. Please wait a moment, Brother Li."
Li Shuyang didn't want to waste any more time here, but then he thought that if he sold the information he had tonight to Liu Xiaoyuan, wouldn't Liu Xiaoyuan be grateful to him? He might even be more proactive in finding the Blood Spirit Mushroom.
Thinking this, Li Shuyang pulled up a chair and sat down again, saying, "Then I'm all ears!"
Li Shuyang and Tang Zhongxin were discussing matters at a hotel in Beijing, while the atmosphere on Liu Xiaoyuan's side was extremely tense.
Because Ye Zifan was so brave and unyielding, no one knew how Liu Xiaoyuan would deal with him next.
"Ye Zifan, since you put it that way, fine, I'll grant your wish!" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziqi quickly grabbed Liu Xiaoyuan's hand and said, "Brother Liu, Brother Liu, please be merciful..."
If Liu Xiaoyuan really kills Ye Zifan, it will be a great loss to the Ye family, and Ye Ziqi, who came out with Ye Zifan tonight, will also be implicated.
Therefore, both publicly and privately, Ye Ziqi did not want to see Ye Zifan get into trouble.
"Brother Liu, let it go, there's no need to cause a death!" Wang Xinyu stepped forward and pulled Liu Xiaoyuan aside.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at the two of them strangely and asked, "Who told you two that I was going to kill someone?"
"Huh?" Hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Ye Ziqi and Wang Xinyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, as did Ye Zifan, who was sitting on the ground.
Despite Ye Zifan's tough words just now, if Liu Xiaoyuan really tried to kill him, he would definitely surrender without hesitation. As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
"That's good, that's good!" Wang Xinyu and Ye Ziqi said in unison, then released Liu Xiaoyuan's hands.
After the two let go, Liu Xiaoyuan walked up to Ye Zifan.
Ye Zifan saw Liu Xiaoyuan standing in front of him, looking down at him. He couldn't help but think of the past, when things were like this before, except that he was the one standing and someone else was sitting on the ground.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Zifan asked involuntarily.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Since Young Master Ye is unwilling to do it himself, then I'll have to make do it myself!"
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan raised his right hand and slapped Ye Zifan across the face twice.
