Capital city.
Before the aftermath of the news of Li Xuan's assassination had passed, news spread again that a disciple of a reclusive leader had made a high-profile appearance in the capital.
Gu Linfeng had once introduced himself to the Lin family, so it was not difficult for the major forces to investigate his identity.
At the same time, all the larger chambers of commerce in the capital have blacklisted him and absolutely banned him from entering.
Because these chambers of commerce were afraid that he would suddenly have a whim and "purchase goods" from their chamber of commerce.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the descendants from big families and powerful forces are all playboys who must not be offended.
In the eyes of these big families and big forces, the disciples of the top hermit masters are the real playboys, whom they cannot afford to offend.
The Li family soon found out the background of the person who tried to seize the Li Chamber of Commerce.
"What a tricky guy!"
Li Mengdie put down the documents in her hand, supported her forehead with one hand and leaned back in her chair with a worried look on her face.
There is absolutely no information about Gu Linfeng. It only contains information about his behavior in the Lin family and his deeds in the Li Chamber of Commerce.
Judging from the above records, he is a typical playboy who doesn't take anything seriously. Of course, the most frustrating thing is that he does have the capital to do so.
With his master who is at the peak of the eighth level, who can do anything to him if the old patriarch does not take action personally?
Moreover, although the old patriarch is only one step away from reaching peak combat power, he still has the burden of the Li family.
As the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Although Jiuzhi Tianlong also has some relatives and friends, they are still different from the wealthy family like the Li family.
This kind of extremely powerful lone man is the one that these big families least want to offend.
But this time, Gu Linfeng really went too far. Not only did he cause serious losses to the Li Chamber of Commerce, but he also made the Li family lose face in the capital and even shook her position in the Li family.
"Issue a meeting decree! I want to convene a high-level meeting within the family!"
Li Mengdie knew that the power of her own lineage was far from enough to handle this matter, so she could only call the leaders of the other two lines to come and gather all the strength of the Li family.
Convening high-level meetings within the family is the common power of the leaders of the three major branches.
This time, Li Ba, the head of the Li family’s military, and Li Mengyan, the head of the public meeting, who were already in the capital, quickly returned to the Li family to participate in this meeting.
In the conference room, there were only three people sitting at the round table.
"Boss Li is truly impressive! In just two days, he's already caused two major incidents for our Li family in the capital."
Li Ba, who was wearing a military uniform and had two stars on his shoulders, said with a wry smile.
He had long, flowing hair and a beard, and he looked a little unkempt, but his eyes were clear and cunning.
As the Li family's leader in the military, he is also very famous in the military. He is known as someone with the appearance of a lion but the heart of a fox.
"The whole capital is laughing at our Li family now, and you still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks here." Li Mengdie sat upright at the round table.
This is one of the few times when she looks decent.
"Humph, the one being laughed at is your branch of the Chamber of Commerce, it's you, Li Mengdie, so don't drag this matter onto us."
Li Ba took out his pipe, pinched it with his fingers, and a flame burned at his fingertips.
"What do you mean? Aren't you members of the Li family? You want to split up now?" Li Mengdie immediately stood up and looked at him.
At the side, Li Mengyan, who had been silent and stern, spoke up: "Li family? When you tried to assassinate Li Xuan, did you ever consider that he was also a Li family member?"
"Did you inform us when you decided on this matter? At that time, did you consider us your Li family? Now that you need our help, have we become your Li family again?"
A series of questions left Li Mengdie speechless.
She is the president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the oldest of the three leaders, but her seniority is the same as Li Mengdie.
But if we really talk about her ability to handle things, she is far superior to Li Mengdie.
There are also many people in the family who support her to be the next head of the family. The two of them are absolute competitors within the family, so their relationship is unlikely to be good.
Li Mengdie looked at her and her expression changed. In the past, she would never bow her head, but now she had to bow her head because she needed help.
She said apologetically, "We didn't handle this matter properly, but I never sent anyone to assassinate Li Xuan. What I sent was the Hundred Lifetimes Reincarnation Method!"
"This is a top-level opportunity that is beneficial for improving spiritual power. Our Chamber of Commerce decided to send it after much discussion. It was only by chance that we ran into the assassin from the Seven Killings Tower."
She said this with a sincere expression, which was also what she had always said to the outside world, trying her best to clarify that she had nothing to do with the assassination of Li Xuan.
However, after she said these words, Li Ba just continued smoking his pipe.
Li Mengyan looked at her with a sneer on her face: "There's no one else here, so you don't have to bring this extremely hypocritical rhetoric to us."
Li Ba exhaled a puff of white smoke and said with a smile: "Boss Li, we don't treat you as a fool. Please give us enough respect and don't treat us as fools."
Li Mengdie sneered. She knew there was no need to act or be polite in front of these two old foxes, so she got straight to the point.
"Gu Linfeng stole a large amount of rare materials from our Li Chamber of Commerce. This incident is a huge blow to the reputation of our Li family."
"If we just let it go like this, how will the other forces in the capital view our Li family? From now on, our Li family will be at the mercy of others!"
"Whether you're willing to admit it or not, the outside world will associate it with the entire Li family, and you won't be able to deny it at all!"
Li Ba continued to smoke. He knew very well that if there was no explanation for this matter, it would be a stain on their entire Li family.
It affects their image.
However, the Nine-Fingered Sky Dragon is at the peak of the eighth level and is a mysterious person. They don't know whether this old senior is a man of justice or someone who is extremely protective of his own shortcomings.
If it was the latter, if the Li family did something to Gu Linfeng and the matter got out of hand, they would be the only ones who would be in trouble in the end.
"So what do you decide to do?" Li Ba asked, looking up.
Li Mengdie said sternly, "We must do our utmost to apprehend Gu Linfeng and make him return everything he has taken. Only in this way can we restore the reputation of the Li family and recover our losses."
"That Nine-Fingered Sky Dragon..."
"Leave the Nine-Fingered Sky Dragon to Grandfather. I will contact him personally. You two can rest assured about this matter."
Li Mengdie stated her request, "I ask you two to do your utmost to apprehend Gu Linfeng. According to the information, he possesses the combat power of the peak seventh rank. I'm afraid our Chamber of Commerce alone may not have enough manpower."
