"My son, you died such a terrible death!"
"Although you are utterly useless, only knowing how to indulge in eating, drinking, gambling, and all sorts of vices, you still..."
Inside the Li family compound, a middle-aged man was holding a young man and weeping bitterly.
The middle-aged man was Li Xiaochen's father, Li Fangrun.
The person lying in his arms was his son, Li Xiaochen.
Li Fangrun tried his best to think of what good qualities his son had, but after thinking for a long time, he not only couldn't think of anything, but he also became angrier the more he thought about it.
My son is such a spoiled brat. When he's alive, when am I not driven half to death by him?
For his last birthday, he even bought a large clock.
He died a good death, a wonderful death!
But now that everyone around him was watching, he gritted his teeth, pinched his thigh hard, and tears streamed down his face.
"What happened?! Xiaochen, my grandson, what happened to you..."
"grandfather……"
Just then, Old Master Li led everyone out and asked.
When he saw Li Xiaochen lying dead on the ground, his face turned deathly pale, and he swayed unsteadily.
Upon seeing this, Li Xiaodan and the others quickly helped him up.
You have to understand that the Li family is going through a very difficult time right now. If something were to happen to the old man, it would be adding insult to injury.
"Dad! Xiaochen was killed by this guy!"
Li Fangrun turned around and saw Yang Lu standing next to the old man, and said through gritted teeth.
If looks could kill, then Yang Lu would probably be on his way to reincarnation by now.
Almost instantly, everyone's eyes were on Yang Lu.
"Third Uncle, please don't talk nonsense. Mr. Yang has been with me the whole time. How could he possibly..."
Li Xiaodan hurriedly explained that Yang Lu had been with her the whole time, so how could he possibly have killed Xiaochen?
He must have made a mistake.
However, before Li Xiaodan could finish speaking, Li Fangrun roared.
"Shut up! I've already investigated. Half an hour ago, your brother got into a fight with him. Half an hour later, your brother was dead!"
"Do you really think such a coincidence is possible?"
"How can you be so petty?! He's still a child! He's never even held a girl's hand, and he hasn't even had his first kiss yet!"
Li Fangrun stared at Yang Lu with murderous intent. If he hadn't heard that this guy was quite powerful in combat, he would have already pounced on him.
"Mr. Li, may I examine my son's body? I..."
"He's dead, and you still won't let him go?"
"Are you planning to come up with some random excuse later, saying it wasn't your fault? As long as I'm alive, you can forget about it!"
Li Fangrun stood directly in front of Yang Lu, having already seen through his thoughts.
Yang Lu frowned. To be honest, if he examined Li Xiaochen's body, he would know exactly how he died.
But judging from Li Fangrun's current demeanor, he was not going to back down an inch. After thinking for a moment, he said to Old Master Li.
"Old Master Li, give me three hours, and I will definitely find the murderer who killed Li Xiaochen for you! Otherwise, I, Yang Lu, am at your mercy!"
Yang Lu knew that now all their hopes could be pinned on Old Master Li. As long as he gave the order, Li Fangrun would have no choice but to comply.
He was confident that if he had three hours, he could find the real culprit.
He felt that Old Master Li would definitely not refuse him, after all, he was the hope of their family in the upcoming alchemy competition!
"Grandpa, I believe in Yang Lu! I believe in Yang Lu, and besides, this alchemy competition..."
After Yang Lu finished speaking, Li Xiaodan hurriedly spoke to her grandfather as well.
But before she could finish speaking, Old Master Li roared at her.
"Shut up!"
"Xiaodan, you've let a wolf into the house! If you speak up for him again, you'll be stripped of your status as the heir of the Li family!"
After saying this, Old Master Li looked at Yang Lu with a murderous expression.
“Mr. Yang, I never expected that my Li family would help you so much, yet you betray my Li family.”
"Now, cut off both your arms and get out of the Li family!"
"Did you hear me?!"
Old Master Li glared at Yang Lu with murderous intent. After he finished speaking, several powerful auras appeared in different locations in the courtyard.
It is known that these people are all experts from the Li family. Whenever Yang Lu makes any unusual moves, they will take action to suppress this kid!
"how so……"
Seeing this scene, Li Xiaodan felt extremely distressed.
To be honest, she really, really didn't expect things to develop to this extent.
It was supposed to be a happy occasion for everyone, but now...
In fact, she couldn't understand her grandfather at all. They had already offended the Liang family in order to get Yang Lu to take action. Now, for something uncertain, did they really want Yang Lu to cut off his own arm?
Grandpa has always been a shrewd and capable man in my eyes, but what's wrong with him today?
Yang Lu narrowed his eyes for a moment, then sneered.
"Cut off one's own arm? That probably isn't enough."
"If I'm not mistaken, once I cut off my own arm, you'll send me to the Liang family in order to ease tensions with them!"
He now roughly guessed what was going on. It seemed that Shen Xinglan was right; the Li family was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Upon hearing Yang Lu's words, Old Master Li became extremely angry and said...
