Chapter 487: The Li Family?

Indeed, at each pharmacy he visited, they insisted on asking him what he was using the medicine for before they would sell it to him.

It was not easy, the medications that could normally be purchased directly from one pharmacy took Xiao Yi visiting nearly seven large pharmacies before he had everything he needed. After completing his rounds at these seven pharmacies, he had a clearer understanding of the trouble he had gotten involved with that day.

The seven pharmacies he visited were almost all from different districts, with different names and varying sizes, but each one had people secretly paying attention, some were questioning and auditing.

To describe the current situation in the city as martial law, with everyone on edge, was hardly an exaggeration!

It really was complicated!

As he left the last pharmacy, Xiao Yi looked back at a burly man with a tattoo on his arm who was questioning the passers-by. Xiao Yi took a deep breath and decided to take out his phone.

"Xiao Yi? Is that you?"

As soon as the call connected, Chen Jianguo’s voice came through the receiver, filled with a mix of surprise and excitement.

"It’s me, Uncle Chen."

A smile appeared on Xiao Yi’s face, "Uncle Chen, I wanted to ask you about something. What exactly happened this afternoon? Why has G City seemed a bit different? It feels like it’s under martial law?"

"Xiao Yi, you haven’t encountered any trouble outside, have you?"

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Chen Jianguo immediately became anxious.

"That’s not it; I was just questioned. It seemed like they were trying to find someone?"

Xiao Yi quickly smiled and then asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It’s good no one troubled you."

Hearing that Xiao Yi hadn’t been troubled, Chen Jianguo finally breathed a sigh of relief, then he sighed, "Xiao Yi, you don’t know. Today, the Li Family showed their power. It’s said that this morning, an assassin broke into the Li family old mansion and killed a direct grandson of the current family head Li Wenchao, and severely wounded another top fighter from the Li Family. The woman even managed to escape."

"The Li Family?"

Xiao Yi paused, "Zhao, Han, Li, and Zeng, the Li Family that ranks third in G City?"

"Yes, it’s truly unexpected. The Li Family actually had such deep resources. I think, this time, the Li Family’s show of force is superficial to capture the criminal, but the real intent seems to be to intimidate and shake the Zeng family. But it’s also uncertain; this incident might have genuinely enraged the Li Family as well. Having an assassin break into their home and kill a grandson right under their noses, anyone would be furious!"

Chen Jianguo sighed deeply.

Speaking honestly, the situation with the Li Family this time was completely beyond his expectations. Like many others, he had always thought he knew the Li Family well and even felt the Li Family was not that impressive. The last time, for Xiao Yi, he had almost had a confrontation with the people from the Li Family.

But he had never anticipated the Li Family was still so profoundly hidden.

Judging from the afternoon’s swift actions, saying it was like a lion emerging from its den was not an exaggeration whatsoever.

And the keen-sensed Chen Jianguo, more than ordinary people, had an additional concern.

He worried that the Li Family might use this incident to start ’making moves.’

If they really began ’making moves,’ given the strength the Li Family had shown now, they, as businessmen, would find it very hard to withstand!

He vaguely felt his concern might not be unnecessary. A worried expression fleetingly appeared in his eyes. He nearly wanted to share these thoughts with Xiao Yi, but after thinking it over, he decided to keep his mouth shut.

Discussing such matters with Xiao Yi seemed rather pointless.

He was not someone who sought help for every little issue. If that were the case, he, Chen Jianguo, would not have reached his position today. Moreover, he felt that talking about it with Xiao Yi was of no use anyway.

The Li Family!

The Li Family still had such deep resources!

I had been deceived by them before!

Upon hearing Chen Jianguo’s definite answer, Xiao Yi involuntarily took a deep breath, stunned for a moment as all his interactions with the Li Family over such a long period flashed through his mind. He suddenly felt he had underestimated them too lightly.

"Xiao Yi, if someone questions you and if they are polite, try to cooperate as much as you can. But if someone gives you trouble, just tell me."

Chen Jianguo snapped out of his reverie when he noticed Xiao Yi hadn’t spoken, and quickly added another concerned remark.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Chen. You must be very busy over there; I won’t bother you anymore."

Xiao Yi quickly regained his composure and said to Chen Jianguo before hanging up the phone.

That woman, she actually went to the Li family old mansion and killed a member of the Li family...

What kind of deep hatred does she share with that direct descendant of the Li family?

But thinking about it, no matter how great the hatred, her actions were overly bold!

With her strength, Xiao Yi had determined right from the beginning when he was treating her injuries that she was merely at the Initial Tier of Bone Tempering.

Someone at the Bone Tempering Period daring to rashly attack the Li family old mansion?

Even though Xiao Yi had always looked down on the Li family, he had never anticipated that the Li family had such profound resources; still, he didn’t believe that someone of the Initial Tier of Bone Tempering was qualified to attack the Li family old mansion!

After quietly pondering for a while, Xiao Yi increasingly felt that there were too many mysteries surrounding this woman, and his steps involuntarily quickened towards the road ahead.

He was now somewhat eager to return.

Apart from curiosity about why the woman had intruded into the Li mansion, he wanted to gather more information about the Li family through her.

After all, since his arrival in G City not long ago, he had already had significant disputes and entanglements with the Li family, whose young masters, Li Ziming and Li Zijie, both viewed him as their sworn enemy.

Although both Li Ziming and Li Zijie wouldn’t dare make a move when they saw him, he did not doubt that given the chance, they would most certainly want him dead...

The display set out by the Li family that afternoon had instilled a sense of alertness in his heart...

"Xiao Yi!"

Taxis were quite abundant in G City. After waiting by the road for a while, Xiao Yi soon saw a cab with an ’available’ light coming from up ahead. Just as he was about to hail it, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the side.

"Officer Zeng?"

As Xiao Yi turned around, he immediately saw Zeng Xiaomei approaching him, clad in a snug police uniform, looking striking and confident, which made him pause and reveal a look of surprise in his eyes.

He had never expected to run into Zeng Xiaomei here.

"What, you don’t want to see me?"

Zeng Xiaomei saw the surprise on Xiao Yi’s face; her beautiful face coldly snorted, and her eyebrows slightly furrowed with her tone becoming somewhat unpleasant.

Today was a weekday, a school day for students, not the weekend, and at this time it was supposed to be class time. Yet, there was Xiao Yi, clearly skipping class again.

Not much time had passed, yet she had caught him skipping class several times already, which indicated what his usual performance at school was like, causing her impression of Xiao Yi to worsen significantly.

Moreover, she had already warned him numerous times, but he continued his careless ways regardless, clearly taking her words as nothing but air—entering one ear and exiting the other, completely disregarded...

The thought of these things, coupled with her already severe indignation today, made her mood suddenly worsen even more...

"This... this... Officer Zeng... it’s a joke."

Of course, I didn’t want to see you; meeting police never spelled good news; who would casually wish to meet a cop...

Hearing Zeng Xiaomei’s obviously harsh tone, Xiao Yi suddenly snapped back to reality and thought to himself. However, these words could only remain unspoken. When he raised his head and saw the dark expression on Zeng Xiaomei’s face, his own features immediately became a bit awkward.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but think to himself why this beautiful police officer was acting like this. I don’t recall offending her; why does she look as if she has a deep grudge against me!

"Who’s joking with you? Who has the time to joke with you?"

Looking at Xiao Yi’s face, Zeng Xiaomei’s expression grew even darker. At such a young age, not eager to learn, behaving as if he had been mixed up in Jianghu for many years; his actions clearly showed he hadn’t learned well!

She despised and loathed this kind of irresponsible, disappointing individual the most.

His behavior was not only irresponsible to himself but also a waste of resources. Z University, being an excellent school, had limited enrollment quotas every year. You got in but didn’t study seriously, keeping out many who wanted to learn...

The more Zeng Xiaomei thought about it, the more she felt justified in her beliefs, and her disdain for Xiao Yi’s behavior intensified. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote and recommend at Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
