Li Junyang had timed his arrival perfectly.
Looking back now, given the feud between the Xing and Xia families, and the explosive news I've given, Xia Che is probably already a lost soul.
After all, that was the Xing family's action team.
In Li Junyang's mind, he was an invincible being.
Xia Che is such a good-for-nothing...
How many moves can he withstand?
It's likely that Xia Che was already a corpse from the very first move. The action team didn't know this and thought the kid was incredibly tough, never begging for mercy no matter how they hit him, but in reality, he had been dead for a while.
Li Junyang timed it perfectly, returning from Qing Ning's apartment only after the action team had finished their work.
And he pretended to be anxious, as if he had just realized it and rushed over.
The Xing family's action team was full of elites, and his method of using someone else to kill was not very clever. After all, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Therefore, Li Junyang knew that once the Xing family realized that he had killed the wrong person, they would suspect him sooner or later.
For a considerable period of time to come, the Li family will have to rely on the Xing family for survival, so I absolutely cannot leave even the slightest negative impression on Xing Zhicheng.
"Father, it's all my fault. Ever since you mentioned it last time, I've been secretly searching for information about the eldest son of the Xia family. Today, I suddenly discovered that Xia Che has many similarities to your description, and I didn't bother to verify it before informing you... Sigh, after going back and thinking about it carefully, I realized that it's impossible at all. Xia Che could never be the eldest son of the Xia family."
"So I came straight here, and I'm bothering you so late..."
"Father, has the operation by the task force ended? If they really killed the wrong person... my Li family will help. After all, this matter started because of me, and my Li family will handle it. It will absolutely not involve you in the slightest!"
Li Junyang thumped his chest loudly, his acting skills reaching their peak at this moment. His regret and fearless desire to make amends were perfectly blended together. Even if Xing Zhicheng knew Li Junyang's true colors, he would probably be fooled by him right now.
"Father? What do you think?"
Li Junyang had been putting on an act for a long time, but still hadn't received a reply from Xing Zhicheng. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the other party had a smile on his face, and his sinister face was filled with undisguised admiration in his eyes.
To be honest, Xing Zhicheng's appearance is terrifying, like those villains in movies and TV dramas, making people feel intimidated at first glance.
The admiring smile on his face at that moment didn't make Li Junyang feel any warmth at all; instead, it sent a chill down his spine.
"I don't really watch it, cough cough... Go find Zhuo Lu later, she'll arrange a new room for you. Stay here tonight, it's so late, don't go back."
Looking at his handsome and tall adopted son, Xing Zhicheng suddenly felt that the gloom in his heart caused by the failure of the mission had dissipated considerably.
Originally, interests dominated their father-son relationship, but now an unexpected and inexplicable emotion has emerged.
Xing Zhicheng became more and more satisfied with Li Junyang. This kid was not only capable, but also quick to make amends after realizing he might have made a mistake. He rushed over in the middle of the night. Xing Zhicheng appreciated his sense of responsibility.
Could Jiang City really be his lucky place?
Upon arriving here, they first found a thoughtful and capable secretary, and then they gained such an outstanding godson—double happiness indeed!
"What...what do you mean? Dad, I'm talking to you about something serious."
Li Junyang was stunned for a moment.
Before arriving here, Li Junyang had imagined many possible reactions from Xing Zhicheng on the way. For example, he might be furious and berate him, or he might be indifferent, thinking that it was just a human life and that death was no big deal...
Regardless of the possibility, there is absolutely no possibility like what is happening now.
We were having a good serious conversation, how did the topic suddenly veer off to something else?
“I know, I know… Let me put it simply, your clues are correct. Xia Che is the only remaining heir of the Xia family in Jiang City. He… is the real eldest son of the Xia family.”
"But in the coming period, there is no need to take action against him again. I know your Li family cares a lot, but let me handle this matter myself. As for when to bring him back, I will notify you. This period may be indefinite or it may be very soon, it's hard to say."
"Alright, let's leave it at that for today. Stay here, and we'll find another place to have a proper chat later."
Xing Zhicheng clapped his hands and let out a deep breath.
In high spirits, he looked around and then took a cigar from his cigar box.
He rarely smokes this at night because it makes his brain abnormally active, making it difficult to fall asleep.
But he was so happy at that moment that Xing Zhicheng thought it was fine to stay up late. People must celebrate happy occasions, otherwise the next happy occasion would not come.
"Varied……"
Unlike Xing Zhicheng's relaxed expression, Li Junyang seemed to have been struck by lightning. His prepared remarks were completely shattered, leaving his mind blank. He stood there dumbfounded, unable to hear anything around him.
Xia Che...
It turns out to be the eldest son of the Xia family?
That blond guy I always looked down on, thinking he was just a piece of trash, actually had a more noble identity than me?
The Li family has gradually developed and is showing signs of shedding the unpleasant label of "nouveau riche." However, even so, it still has a long way to go before it can grow into the dominant family in Jiang City like the Xia family in the past.
Whether or not one can achieve this in their lifetime is still unknown.
Therefore, Li Junyang only dared to fantasize in his mind about how powerful he would be if the Li family became a super family like the Xia and Xing families in the future.
But now, after learning Xia Che's true identity from Xing Zhicheng, he realized that he had only intended to use someone else to do his dirty work, but unexpectedly, he had actually managed to find the eldest son of the Xia family.
Moreover, it was Xia Che, whom he despised the most!
The news was so shocking that Li Junyang staggered and quickly grabbed the sofa for support, struggling to stay calm as the world spun around in his head. It took him a long time to recover before he finally managed to avoid fainting on the spot.
He stood there, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Regret, anger, disbelief...
There was also a strong sense of jealousy in it.
All these complex emotions surged in Li Junyang's mind at once, causing him to lose control of his expression for once, and his face became ferocious.
"What's wrong? Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Tsk... Yeah, it's not very interesting to just sit here and chat. Here's what we'll do: when you go to find Zhuo Lu, remember to tell her to order some barbecue. It's been so many years since I've had this stuff."
