The headquarters of the Martial Alliance.
Inside the manor, Li Donglai paced back and forth angrily, still furious about what had happened at the Zhongyi Building.
However, Koji Kameda's death left him unsure of Lin Yu's true strength, so he decided to investigate thoroughly before taking action.
At this moment, a subordinate walked over shakily and reported, "Second Young Master, we haven't found any useful clues yet. I heard that this kid had been to the Cuihua Pavilion before and has some appraisal skills, which is why he was valued by the Liu family!"
"That's it?" Li Donglai frowned deeply. Could it be that he was overthinking things, and that the death of Kameda Koji had nothing to do with that kid at all?
"Alright!"
Just then, Li Dahai, who was practicing his boxing nearby, slowly finished his exercise and exhaled a breath of white air. A disciple handed him a towel, which he used to wipe his sweat. He said calmly, "Donglai, appraising treasures is something only lowlifes do. In my opinion, this kid is just working for the Liu family. There's no need to investigate him anymore! Besides, those Japanese, they don't even worship any Bushido spirit. They're incredibly twisted. Maybe that Kameda Koji committed suicide because he couldn't bear the humiliation!"
Li Donglai nodded, agreeing with his grandfather's point, but his expression remained unwilling. He quickly said, "Grandpa, but I always feel that Liu Siyun treats that boy a little differently!"
Li Dahai shook his head. "She's still just a young girl, her mind is unsettled. Once she's married, her heart will naturally settle down! In large families like ours, marriage is always arranged by parents and matchmakers. As long as Liu Zhongyi agrees, nothing else matters!"
Snap!
Li Dahai snapped his fingers, and immediately a line of servants came out, each carrying a tray filled with antique treasures.
Li Donglai was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa, these aren't the antiques you usually collect, what are you..."
Li Dahai said calmly, "Didn't I promise you before that I would propose marriage to the Liu family on your behalf? There's no time like the present, let's go to the Liu family today and settle your marriage with the Liu family girl!"
"Really?" Li Donglai was overjoyed.
Li Dahai smiled and nodded, saying, "These items are treasures I've collected over the years, and they're all unique in the market. When Liu Zhongyi sees them, he'll know the sincerity of our Li family. Plus, with the current power of my Martial Alliance, I'm sure he'll agree to the marriage on the spot!"
Li Donglai nodded repeatedly, "The Liu family has many businesses that intersect with our Martial Alliance. A marriage alliance with our Li family will only benefit the Liu family's development! That old man Liu Zhongyi will definitely be more than happy to agree!"
Li Dahai nodded calmly, "However, grandson, since it's a marriage alliance, we can't act subservient. We still need to make our demands. We'll prepare the betrothal gifts, and the Liu family must also prepare the dowry!"
Li Donglai was taken aback for a moment, "Um, Grandpa, what kind of dowry are you planning to ask the Liu family for?"
Li Dahai thought for a moment and said, "Isn't the most famous thing about the Liu family the Cuihua Pavilion? Let them transfer the Cuihua Pavilion to your name!"
...
Just as Li Dahai and his grandson went to the Liu family to propose marriage with gifts.
A group of men in black had arrived outside the Cuihua Pavilion and were slowly approaching.
It was already late, and all the other employees in the pavilion had already left for the day. Only Liu Zhongyi and his grandson, along with two servants from the Liu family responsible for cleaning, remained.
On the third floor, the banquet had just been cleared away, and Liu Zhongyi was still holding a small wine pot, leisurely listening to Kunqu Opera.
After tidying up, Liu Siyun came over and said in an annoyed tone, "Grandpa, why are you still drinking! Didn't Mr. Lin tell you to take good care of your health?"
"Hey, don't worry about it. Grandpa's in a good mood today, so I want to drink a lot!" Liu Zhongyi was already slightly tipsy, his face flushed.
Liu Siyun shook her head with a wry smile, "It's just a verbal battle, why are you so happy!"
Liu Zhongyi shook his head. "Granddaughter, our victory over the Fish Eye Faction this time is a great honor for our family! This event will surely be recorded in the annals of our Liu family. Even if I were to meet my ancestors one day, I could face them with a clear conscience! Alas, we must thank Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin is truly a benefactor to our Liu family! If I could have such a son-in-law, I would die in peace even if it meant my death right now!"
After today's argument, Liu Zhongyi became even more eager to have Lin Yu become his granddaughter's husband! Now, under the influence of alcohol, he couldn't help but reveal his true feelings without any attempt to hide them!
Liu Siyun's pretty face flushed red. "Pah! Grandpa, what are you saying? You're perfectly healthy, you'll live to be a hundred! And..."
She paused, turned around, and said shyly, "Grandpa, Mr. Lin is already married. Please don't bring up this matter again!"
Liu Zhongyi shook his head, about to say something.
Then, whoosh!
Suddenly a sound came from downstairs, as if something had been broken.
You should know that nothing in this Jade Pavilion is cheap.
Liu Zhongyi's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Let's go, quickly go down and see what these two servants are up to!"
Liu Siyun quickly helped Liu Zhongyi downstairs.
Upon arriving on the first floor, they discovered that an entire row of shelves had been overturned, and a crimson river flowed slowly from the other end of the shelves to the feet of the grandfather and grandson.
The grandfather and grandson were shocked and quickly looked in that direction, only to see two servants lying motionless in a pool of blood.
Liu Siyun's beautiful eyes widened in terror, and she screamed immediately. Liu Zhongyi also quickly took out his phone to call the police.
Just then, a series of rapid footsteps approached, and several figures dressed in black, moving with light steps, suddenly surged in from all directions, surrounding the grandfather and grandson. Each of these people held a gleaming short blade in their hand, their eyes filled with fierce malice.
"Heroes, if you're here to rob us, you may take whatever you want from this treasure pavilion, but please don't harm my grandfather and grandson! And I promise I won't call the police!" Liu Zhongyi said, his voice trembling.
At this point, they would naturally risk their lives rather than their wealth. Compared to the lives of the grandfather and grandson, what did losing some money matter?
However, the men in black remained unmoved, their eyes still filled with murderous intent, as they approached the two step by step.
Liu Zhongyi then realized that the other party was not after money; they were clearly there to kill him!
The Liu family has always kept a low profile, made money through harmony, and never made enemies. Who exactly wants to kill them?
Could it be...?
Suddenly realizing something, Liu Zhongyi exclaimed, "Could you be sent by Shinichi Kameda?"
Upon hearing this, the two men in black who were in the lead were slightly taken aback. They exchanged a glance, then nodded and immediately brandished their daggers, lunging at the grandfather and grandson.
"Dare you!"
Bang!
Just then, another group of people appeared; it was Li Dahai leading the Martial Alliance.
At Li Dahai's command, several martial arts disciples dressed in martial arts uniforms immediately rushed forward and stopped the men in black.
The two sides instantly engaged in a fierce battle!
