Chapter 707: The Worst Case Scenario

"Bang!"

Looking at the empty street ahead, the old man could no longer control the fury in his heart and punched a tree on the roadside with great force.

This is outrageous, this is outrageous!

Don’t let me encounter you again, or else I will torment you to death!

After throwing his punch, the old man still felt unsatisfied. He took several deep breaths and once more kicked the tree several times with great force before finally turning around with an unwilling and somber face under the strange gazes of the many passersby, and walked back the way he had come.

"Damn! Was I seeing things just now? That old man, wasn’t he too formidable? Is that even real? Could he be in disguise?"

"Aren’t my eyes deceiving me? That old man just now, he must be at least in his seventies, yet so vigorous and fierce?"

"Damn, when I get to be that old man’s age, if I could still be that formidable, that would be awesome..."

"........."

The bystanders who had just seen the old man furiously punching and kicking the tree, as thick as a strong man’s waist, were all dumbfounded. Only after the old man had left did they come to their senses and started exclaiming in astonishment.

"Crack!"

And just as they were staring in disbelief, something even more incredible occurred. The big tree, perhaps because of the wind or some other reason, suddenly made a crisp sound and started leaning, slowly tilting over and falling.

Everyone was dumbstruck with disbelief, just staring blankly, even unable to react.

Not until the tree had already bent halfway and was increasingly tilting, with the sound of breaking growing louder, did everyone suddenly come to their senses and start to scream in panic, quickly dodging to the side.

"This is crazy!"

After a long while, when everything had finally calmed down, people began to realize what had happened. Looking at the tree that had suddenly fallen and the broken part with clear footprints, everyone couldn’t help but picture the hunched-over, wrinkled-faced, furious old man hitting and kicking the tree. Each one’s mouth was agape, big enough to fit several eggs, and they couldn’t close it for a long time.

..................................

Inside the Li family old mansion, the previous patriarch of the Li Family, Li Wenchao, paced back and forth anxiously in the hall, his eyes intermittently glancing towards the front gate.

He hoped that Wu could catch up with that thief and retrieve the item; otherwise, the Li family would really be in a dire situation this time!

Li Wenchao’s mind was ceaselessly praying in anxiety.

Just moments ago, when Xiao Yi and another were fighting and he heard the old man’s first shout, he had sprinted straight to the study, straight to where he had hidden crucial items. Reaching the study and seeing the drawer that was pulled out, his brain almost instantly became oxygen-deprived, and he nearly fell to the floor, dizzy.

In his study, there were many various antiques, each worth nearly millions, or even tens of millions. His home also contained many different ancient decorations, many of them precious, but losing those items would perhaps pain him slightly, yet would not cause him much distress. Therefore, upon realizing the theft, he had not bothered with those items at all.

In his eyes, all of these things together weren’t as valuable as that one box in the drawer, or rather, the documents inside the box!

Because those items could be purchased again if lost, but losing that box could very likely cost his life, oh, not his, but the life of the Li family!

Even Li Ziyoung wasn’t quite clear about what was inside, but he was very aware...

It was now an era of information, an era of networks, where nearly all modern people, the majority of work, related to computers, and everyone preferred to store various data on computers, including important sectors like banks already using computers.

However, Li Wenchao was someone who didn’t quite trust computers, or rather, he didn’t trust the security of computers. He would use computers for many things, but he was accustomed to recording things on paper, especially very important matters, which he still believed were safer kept on paper rather than on a computer.

Thus, these documents that he had saved in paper form were undoubtedly all those secrets that could not be stored on a computer, that should not be leaked to outsiders!

He had never dreamed that someone would dare to be so audacious as to sneak into the Li mansion and steal these items!

This was something that he had never encountered in his lifetime!

Finally recovering from his dizziness, he managed to steady his footing and stature, looking around his study at the intact calligraphy and antiques, his eyes suddenly darkened.

Almost without thinking, he knew that someone had finally taken action against the Li family.

This was a retaliation against the Li family, otherwise, if it were just a common thief after money, they wouldn’t have left those valuable calligraphy and antiques untouched and taken just the life-threatening documents.

Since yesterday, when his grandson Li Ziming had spoken to him about Li Ziyoung’s previous actions and their current situation, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He truly hadn’t expected that his grandson Li Ziyoung would be so bold as to do such big things behind his back.

Back when it happened, what he feared most was this issue being related to their Li family. For that reason, he even nervously called his grandson, specifically to confirm that it had nothing to do with him, that he hadn’t done it, which had put his mind at ease then.

But it turned out, Li Ziyoung had lied to him, and it was he who was the mastermind!

In anger and helplessness, he had wanted to immediately call that wayward grandson and severely reprimand him, but the moment he picked up the phone, he lowered his hand and abandoned the idea. He knew that scolding him, even fiercely, wouldn’t solve the problem. What was most important at the moment was to resolve the issue.

So, he dialed another number, beginning to prepare for the worst, for the crisis that might soon occur. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
