According to the normal trajectory, Li Boyuan would announce Li Tianqi as his successor a year later.
After that, the Li family seemed calm on the surface, but there were undercurrents in private. Most people were dissatisfied with this decision, thinking that Li Tianqi was just a young boy and wanted to bring him down.
But they also knew that Li Boyuan was a man of his word. Since he had decided to make Li Tianqi his successor, he would not change his mind easily.
Everyone's efforts were directed in an unprecedentedly consistent direction, which was to create trouble for Li Tianqi, making it difficult for him to get promoted, or even to take his life directly.
The heirs all died. For the future of the Li family, Li Boyuan had to reconsider the issue of succession. They still had a chance.
But this kind of thing must be done in private. Even if it is for the sake of the impression he leaves on the old man, he will never let another person know unless that person is his helper.
In fact, Li Minjie was privately extremely dissatisfied with his father's choice of Li Tianqi.
In his opinion, he was far superior to the other brothers in both ability and experience. The third brother just hung out every day and didn't care about the company's affairs at all. The fourth brother was incompetent and did things in a rigid manner.
The only one who can still be considered competitive is the eldest brother Lee Min-young.
Therefore, Li Minjie has always wanted to squeeze out his eldest brother. He thinks that when the day comes to appoint an heir, it would be good if his eldest brother can voluntarily give up the position. Otherwise, the two of them will probably fight to the death.
There was another person who gave him great confidence, and that person was Master Liang.
Master Liang has been in charge of the Feng Shui business of the Li Group. He is rude to everyone except him and has shown goodwill to him many times.
Doesn't such behavior further prove that you are the final winner?
Master Liang must have been close to him in order to gain favor with his future successor, just like the ministers in ancient times who wanted to follow the dragon.
The contact between the two also made Li Mingjie even more inflated. He felt that Li was about to be in his hands. During that period, he woke up with a smile in his dreams.
To be on the safe side, Li Mingjie also got some Taoist skills from Master Liang. If his elder brother really didn't know what was good for him and came out to fight with him, he wouldn't mind letting him die early.
This is the function of the evil spirit. When it is used to kill people, no one will associate it with a living person.
But when he had prepared everything, Li Tianqi suddenly appeared, making his dream of becoming the heir completely shattered.
So when Li Boyuan announced the successor, Li Mingjie's fingers almost pinched his thighs to pieces, but his face did not show any abnormality at all. This ability to remain calm is something that most people cannot do.
At that moment, he knew that the evil spirit that had been raised for more than half a year had finally come into play.
Li Mingjie controlled the evil spirit and headed towards the overpass. He planned to create a chain reaction on the road that Li Tianqi had to pass, and he was determined to hit him with one strike and kill him directly.
However, he didn't expect to meet anyone after walking around for several times. While he was wondering about it, he heard that Li Tianqi had been kidnapped.
Wei Mian looked into Tianyan and saw that Li Mingjie was using a black object to control the evil spirit.
The evil ghost, which should have been extremely ferocious and unyielding to ordinary people, seemed particularly obedient when facing the thing in his hand.
But this kind of obedience does not seem like submission, but rather like being controlled by something.
Control...?
Wei Mian retracted his Heavenly Eye and lowered his eyes thoughtfully. How could an ordinary person control a ghost whose strength was several times greater than his own?
It should be some kind of special magical weapon, but she couldn't tell what it was from a distance.
This evil ghost had not always been following Li Mingjie. At this moment, apart from a slight bit of evil energy, there was nothing abnormal about him.
Moreover, this little bit of Yin energy will not arouse suspicion. In modern society, many people are contaminated with Yin energy, which will soon disappear after basking in the sun.
The business analysis meeting ended two hours later and everyone left one after another. Wei Mian fell behind and observed Li Mingjie for a while. After making sure that he could not see anything, he quietly left the Li Building.
She wanted to know what controlled the evil spirit, but based on her observation, Li Mingjie would not use the evil spirit easily, so she had to find a way to make him use it once.
Thinking of this, Wei Mian called Li Boyuan again.
So that night, Special Assistant Wang was ordered to notify Li's family members one by one and ask them to hold a family meeting two days later.
Li Tianqi was called back to the old house that day, and all those who were on business trips had to come back as soon as possible, even Li Tianwei who was far away abroad.
Over the years, the Li family only had family gatherings on various festivals and the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month. There had never been any special circumstances at other times, so when Li Boyuan gave this notice, everyone was shocked.
They chose such a meaningless day and specifically let Li Tianqi go back alone. The message behind this is really intriguing.
This news also made everyone quite nervous.
They asked Assistant Wang indirectly for a long time but didn't get any definite answer. They had no choice but to rush back to the port city as soon as possible with a nervous mood, but they kept making plans in secret.
Two days later, it was another rainy day. Unlike the drizzle when Wei Mian came, the port city was windy and rainy today, and there were few pedestrians along the way.
Still in that luxurious and grand living room, it was not even eight o'clock yet, but everyone was already there.
When everyone saw each other, they greeted each other with smiles on the surface, sat together affectionately and talked and laughed, but in their hearts, it was impossible to tell how they were wary of each other.
At exactly ten o'clock, Li Boyuan came out with the help of his two ladies. Noticing the undercurrent in the living room, his heart sank.
Those cloudy but intelligent eyes swept over everyone before he said softly, "Come here!"
Everyone looked at each other, then stood up and went to the hall.
Except for Li Tianqi, the younger generations of the third generation sat in order of seniority, the elders of the second generation sat opposite them, and even Li Boyuan's two wives took their seats.
The person supporting him became Li Tianqi.
Seeing the calm young man standing next to Li Boyuan, they felt a myriad of emotions: anger, hatred, jealousy, dissatisfaction, envy...
Only Li Minying's wife Guo Xiuying looked at her son tenderly, her heart full of pride.
Before the family meeting even started, everyone was already feeling mixed emotions. Blood relatives quarreling over interests was nothing in a family like theirs, and anyone who didn't fight was a fool.
Compared to interests, family affection has to take a back seat.
"I called everyone here today because I have something to announce."
Li Boyuan's tone was neither hurried nor slow, without any emotion, but everyone could feel the firmness in it.
"I think you can guess what it is. I'm old and my health hasn't been good in the past two years. I wanted to retire a few years ago, but you guys always make me worry."
"I've been thinking about the group's successor for several years."
