In the courtyard of the Li family villa, two thugs who were lying on the ground pretending to be dead sensed Li Mu and his companion driving away.
Yellow Hair was the first to sit up from the ground, looking at the garbage all over the yard, then at his companion still lying there. He said, "Damn it, everyone's gone, and you're still pretending to be dead."
Ma Gan sat up, looking at the garbage all over the yard, feeling a tragic sense of wanting to cry but having no tears. He used to be so domineering and bullying others, but now he had been reduced to working as a cleaner.
"Brother Mao, what do we do now? There's so much trash, how long are we going to clean this up between the two of us?!"
"Ugh! ...Holy crap! How the hell are we supposed to do this?! Or should we call a few people over to help?" The blond-haired guy was also helpless. Being a cleaner was embarrassing enough as a story, but if he had to ask for help, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?
Huang Mao carefully circled the large courtyard, then stealthily crept to the gate to observe the area before beckoning Ma Gan over.
"Should we just run away? Yeah! Right, that good-for-nothing is gone now, let's hurry up and call Brother Jun." Yellow Hair was quick-witted; there wasn't a soul in sight. Did they really think they'd just become cleaners for someone else?
Li Mu had anticipated that these two wouldn't stay and clean up the mess. That kick had shattered their heart meridians, and they would surely die of heart attacks within three days.
.
While Huang Mao and Ma Gan slipped away, Li Mu and his second uncle were already sitting in a private room of "My Kitchen".
In the car, Li Mu recounted the two times he had been followed by thugs, and gave a brief analysis, the main point being that there was no way to avoid it.
Now Li Hongjun is also recalling the events of the past few days, slowly piecing together what has happened, and has a general idea in his mind. Following this general idea, he has thought of various possibilities, but it is inconvenient to tell Li Mu about things that have not yet been confirmed.
He wasn't timid; he was just middle-aged and sought stability. Especially after meeting Li Mu, the hope of the Li family, he became hesitant and couldn't act freely. If he were alone, he might have caused a scene.
A few years ago, after the real estate business hit a bottleneck, his elder brother had him buy some mining assets in Australia. In recent years, he has mainly stayed in Australia. When he returned for the first time, he found that the only son of both families had been beaten into a vegetative state. Like his elder brother, he was filled with rage.
It's important to understand that the Li Group primarily started in real estate. While the eldest brother is in the public eye, he handles the various troublemakers himself. This time, when it was discovered that the other party was from the Chen family in Yanjing, the eldest brother had no choice but to seek help from the Li family in Yanjing, while also secretly finding someone to intervene.
This was his second return. Before coming back, he had already settled his wife and children, and transferred all the assets in Australia to his daughter's name as previously agreed. Strangely, before the Li family in Yanjing had even made their move, and before he had even returned, his elder brother and his wife had died in a car accident. This forced him to be even more cautious.
"Second Uncle, have you finished eating? If you're done, let's go!"
Li Mu was focused on dealing with the Four Triads, while Li Hongjun had even more on his mind, so the two ate their meal in a very quiet and unhurried manner.
Let's go!
Li Hongjun stood up and touched the gun in his arms. Just as Li Mu said, since there was no way to avoid it, they had to face it seriously.

As the leader of Jiangcheng's underground forces, the Sihehui may not be high-profile, but it is by no means low-profile.
Located in the High-tech Zone, "Hedao Club" is one of the top clubs in Jiangcheng, a veritable money pit.
The name of the clubhouse, "Hedao," is also the proudest thing for Lao Lu, the head of the Sihehui (Four Triads), representing his immense power and influence in both the legal and illegal worlds.
The entire clubhouse is completely surrounded by greenery from the outside. Inside, there are four buildings covering more than 1,000 square meters, named Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, with a huge fountain in the middle.
This place has all sorts of entertainment facilities you'd only see in TV shows and movies, including prostitution, gambling, and drugs. Publicly, it's presented as a legitimate leisure and entertainment club, but in reality, it's the headquarters of various interest groups, with the legal representative being none other than the head of a triad society, Lao Lu Dazhou.
The building on the east side, "Qinglong Residence," has a restaurant on the first and second floors, and a hall on the third floor where the Sihehui (Four Harmonies) usually holds meetings, covering an area of over 300 square meters. At this moment, Lu Dazhou appears to be sitting calmly in a large armchair, but he is actually very angry inside.
Previously, Li Hongjun, the second son of the Li Group, called to question him. He was about to give him a few perfunctory words, but this second son of the Li family, who had already lost power, was still relentless. What made him even more unhappy was that the spoiled brat of the Li family, who had almost been beaten to death, actually dared to threaten him.
He thought to himself, "I've openly sent people to keep an eye on them. Are you suggesting we play hide-and-seek with the Li family? Can't you even be a little more realistic? The Li family is finished. They've become easy prey for everyone, just waiting to be cooked and fried."
Originally, he thought these two reckless guys were just having a good talk, but then his two underlings not only got beaten up, but also repeated the kid's words. This was blatant provocation and humiliation, and he couldn't tolerate it.
Just as Lu Dazhou was thinking about how to deal with Li Mu and his son, the phone in the hand of his second brother, Lu Hu, rang. His underling reported that Li Mu and his group had left the restaurant and were heading towards the club.
"Let him in directly later, and let all the brothers in the club come and take a look as well," Lu Dazhou instructed without waiting for Lu Hu to relay the message.
.
When Li Hongjun drove into the Hedao Club, not only did no one stop him, but several of his underlings even guided him to park.
At the entrance of Qinglong Residence, Li Mu and Li Hongjun got out of the car together, and their underlings led them into the building.
Upon entering, Li Mu scanned the area with his divine sense. The third floor was fairly well-attended, with no fewer than a hundred people. Seeing his underlings locking the doors, he thought, "Are they afraid I'll escape? That's even better; it saves me the trouble of doing it myself and having someone run away."
As soon as Li Hongjun entered the hall, his legs trembled. The Lu Dazhou sitting in the center was no longer the old Lu who used to come to him for projects and bow and scrape.
Then, he cursed inwardly, "This old Lu is really too obedient. I told you to prepare more people, and you actually did it. There are too many people, and they're all eyeing me like hawks."
Li Hongjun calmed himself down a bit. Anyway, he was already here, so he might as well say something. Feeling somewhat reassured as he touched the gun in his pocket, he was about to step forward and speak. Unexpectedly, Li Mu directly blocked his way. Was he trying to show off?
"The people are all here fairly well. Who is Brother Jun? Come out and let me know." Li Mu slowly walked inside. Of course, he knew that the man sitting in the middle was the leader of the Four Triads, with a pretentious look on his face. He ignored him and asked this Brother Jun first.
.
"Where did you come from, you little punk? You think you can just see Brother Jun whenever you want?" As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, a henchman with dyed red hair jumped out first.
"Oh! Who are you?" Li Mu turned to look at the red-haired guy who was trying to show off and get attention.
"Damn it, I'm your dad, believe it or not..."
Before Red Hair could finish speaking, Li Mu raised his hand and slapped him across the face. After two loud "smacks" and "Ouch!" Red Hair's body was sent spinning twice in the air before landing silently. Half of Red Hair's face was gone.
"Hiss..." Several people nearby gasped and instinctively took a half step back.
The other henchmen who were further away were stunned for a few seconds, thinking to themselves, "This guy is really fearless. There are hundreds of us here, and he dares to make the first move. Is he in a hurry to die?" Then, more thugs who wanted to stand out gathered around.
Li Mu had come to settle scores, and since some people wanted to die quickly, what was there to wait for? Using both hands and feet, in less than a minute, all the people who had surrounded him were sent flying and crashing down, injuring a whole bunch of them in the process.
"Damn, what the hell!" A commotion immediately erupted in the hall, half of which were cries of pain from those who had been hit, and the other half were whispers of surprise from those who wanted to step forward.
Looking at the pile of fallen bodies on the ground, Lu Dazhou frowned. He had always thought that wealthy families were full of spoiled brats, all show and no substance. Was this the same spoiled brat who had almost been beaten to death?
