Chapter 334: Chapter 311 Suppress This Matter

Yesterday, Li Chen committed a massacre at the Li Family, but it could only be considered as a heavy blow to the Li Family, not yet an extinction, given that the foundations of the Li Family were still intact!

Moreover, not everyone from the Li Family attended yesterday’s engagement party. In addition, the Li Family has other forces. With these forces, there’s still a chance for the Li Family to rise again.

Every family operates in this way, nurturing their own forces in secret. The Lin Family does the same, and the stronger the family, the more forces they cultivate.

Li Chen looked at Lin Yi, who turned towards him, blinked, leaned in, and chuckled,

"Babe, why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you’re missing the heroics from this morning? Don’t worry, we can continue after we get back..."

Lin Yi’s face turned red; she was thin-skinned and didn’t ask the question she wanted to.

"Haha, it’s rare to see a loving couple like you guys," the driver in front said, glancing through the rearview mirror and chuckling.

"Master, keep talking, what happened to the Li Family last night?" Li Chen asked with a slight smile.

"This morning, reports said that there were a total of twenty-two homicide cases in Yanjing City last night," the driver continued,

"These twenty-two cases resulted in various people dying, including gangsters, who all perished overnight."

The driver continued, "I don’t know whether to believe it or not, but the reports say it’s related to the person who broke into the Li Family last night, the same person involved in the Yanjing City street racing incident."

The Yanjing City street racing incident?

Li Chen touched his nose, wondering if they were talking about himself racing all the way to the Li Family yesterday?

Continuing, the driver said, "Anyway, that’s the end of the Li Family, from now on, Yanjing City no longer has the Li Family as a clan."

There was a hint of wistfulness in his voice, but it was soon followed by a touch of admiration:

"I don’t know who was so formidable as to exterminate the Li Family. After all, Li Family is a name I grew up hearing about!

In Yanjing, the Li Family could make the city tremble with just a stomp of their feet. I didn’t expect them to be wiped out just like that, so unexpectedly."

Li Chen laughed, "Master, I bet that person would be very happy to hear you say that."

"Haha." The driver laughed as well,

"Whether he’s happy or not, I’m just speaking my mind for fun. Such matters have nothing to do with us ordinary folk, we can’t get involved. Regardless of whether the Li Family exists or not, life goes on, right?"

"You make sense." Li Chen also smiled. Being praised in person felt quite pleasant, but then the driver added,

"From my point of view, that person won’t be able to escape. With such a big incident, he’s doomed."

Damn it, the prestige didn’t last three seconds. Li Chen touched his nose, but Lin Yi, hearing these words, looked at Li Chen and then clung tightly to his arm.

No matter what punishment Li Chen might face because of the Li Family, she would stay by his side. Even if he were imprisoned, she would wait for him. She had decided to stick with Li Chen for life.

Subconsciously, Lin Yi still hoped that Li Chen wouldn’t get hurt, but the incident had too large an impact to be suppressed. The news couldn’t be silenced online, and the higher authorities would surely intervene.

Seeing Lin Yi’s worried expression, Li Chen smiled slightly, "Silly girl, how could your husband be in trouble?"

Lin Yi hummed softly, without saying anything.

The taxi headed towards the airport, and meanwhile, in a meeting room.

"Humph," someone slammed the table heavily, "This person has some nerve to cause such a scene in Yanjing. What’s there to discuss? Just arrest him outright!"

This person was dressed in simple clothes, but the sharpness in his eyes made him look extraordinary!

His surname was Meng, a figure whose utterances could shake the ground thrice.

Besides him, there were several other individuals present in the meeting, most of them in their fifties or sixties, all well-known figures.

Among them was a young man in a suit, a secretary by the name of Ye, who held considerable sway in discussions.

The attendees had varying expressions, some looking troubled, others silent, and some smoking. In front of them were scattered documents, all related to Li Chen’s extermination of the Li Family.

After Elder Meng spoke, no one responded, and several people looked especially grim. This incident occurring within their jurisdiction had a significant impact on their careers.

"What’s the situation now?" a man asked.

"Li Chen is within our control, and it seems he’s heading to the airport to leave Yanjing City. As for media coverage, we have controlled those who reported the incident, but we haven’t issued any formal response yet," someone promptly mentioned.

"The person is highly skilled, and his identity is very suspicious. I believe that letting him go freely would cause immeasurable harm to the entire country and society," another person said,

"My personal suggestion is to arrest him immediately and have Dragon Soul handle it."

The others remained quiet, still contemplating, when a middle-aged woman entered from outside, holding a document.

Everyone’s gaze turned to her as she distributed the materials and then sat down, before speaking, "This is the background information on Li Chen, take a look."

This middle-aged woman was one of the leaders in charge of Dragon Soul!

Several people picked up the materials, and after glancing at them, their expressions changed!

In the documents, most of Li Chen’s information was revealed; after all, with Dragon Soul’s vast network and Huaxia being its turf, looking up someone was far too simple.

"Is this the work of those old guys?" one of them asked, hand trembling slightly after seeing several familiar names in the section about Li Chen’s relatives, which threw him completely off balance!

Damn it, they pulled such a stunt back then, and now the younger generation is doing the same thing – are they purposely trying to mess with me?

The others fell into silence upon seeing the file, as the information forced them into it.

First off, Li Chen’s prowess was there for all to see, single-handedly shaking up the entire police force of Yanjing City and leading them by the nose, even exterminating the entire Li Family all by himself!

With such skills, he would be among the top ranks even within Dragon Soul.

Then there were Li Chen’s four grandfathers, whose abilities and connections were such that even the higher echelons of power would be wary of them. With such formidable figures backing him, they had to weigh their options carefully.

At that moment, the previously silent Secretary Ye spoke up indifferently, "This man is a talent."

At those words, the expressions of two people changed, were they intending to protect this man?

"My opinion is, if we can’t kill this man, we should at least give him a warning, best to have him spend a few years in prison."

"As for those four grandfathers behind him, as long as we don’t kill Li Chen, they have no reason to act, and they’d have to think twice before opposing the Central authority."

After this man finished speaking, the others also fell into contemplation.

The leader in charge of Dragon Soul then spoke up:

"Li Chen is also the King of the Netherworld, and behind him lies the North American Palace of the Nether King, which even Dragon Soul must guard against. If we move against Li Chen, that would mean making an enemy of the Palace of the Nether King, which does not align with our national interests."

Upon hearing this, Commander Meng and the others also fell silent, without a doubt, national interest took precedence over all else.

Secretary Ye smiled slightly and said, "Comrades, let me share my views. Without a doubt, Li Chen is a talent, and behind him are a few old men and the Palace of the Nether King – all enormous forces!

For us, it’s best to avoid troubles whenever possible, so we shouldn’t touch Li Chen; on the contrary, if we can turn Li Chen to our side, then Huaxia will gain an additional source of strength in the future. It’s a situation where we can weaken others while strengthening ourselves – that’s one aspect."

"Secondly, we have a clear understanding of the ins and outs of this matter, which involves no political factors. Li Chen’s extermination of the Li Family was not at the behest of other families!

It was due to his own personal affections, which is understandable. As long as he harbors no thoughts of opposing us, we can tolerate it and not delve into other issues."

Secretary Ye’s gaze swept over the others:

"The destruction of the Li Family is actually an opportunity for us to restructure those families, strike them as a warning, and then maintain the original balance."

Having heard Secretary Ye’s words, everyone pondered for a while, until one of them spoke up, "Little Ye, are these your thoughts, or your chief’s?"

Secretary Ye smiled slightly, "Elder Qian, I’ve already discussed this with the chief, and he shares the same view."

The leader in charge of Dragon Soul opened the discussion:

"I have made an estimate on my end. To kill Li Chen, Dragon Soul would lose twenty-eight top-tier experts, several hundred elite members, and countless regular members."

"To imprison Li Chen, the loss would be fifteen top-tier experts, about a hundred elite members, and a thousand regular members."

"No matter how you look at it, neither killing nor imprisoning him is the best solution."

One person frowned, "Is he that powerful?"

Another elder, who had been silent, spoke up:

"Enough, Old Meng, we must prioritize the bigger picture. Dragon Soul’s intelligence wouldn’t be mistaken; these individuals can’t be judged by ordinary standards. The chaos that this incident caused is not unacceptable. Little Ye makes sense, we should win over Li Chen and strike at the families, killing two birds with one stone."

At this point, those present understood the implication, and one quickly said, "Then what should I do?"

"This matter has just been reported; control it and manage the direction of public opinion, find your reasons, make sure it doesn’t harm us, and avoid stirring up more trouble."

The man nodded promptly, breathing a sigh of relief that as long as such incidents didn’t recur, it would be sufficient.

"Since that’s the case, let’s suppress this matter; otherwise, those old men might act on impulse and come troubling us again," said the elder who spoke earlier.

"Press it down, and also control the narrative online to separate yesterday’s car racing incident from the Li Family’s extermination."

In the end, after a high-level discussion, the matter was suppressed, sparing Li Chen from further inquiry.
