Chapter 722: Chapter 718 The Complete Annihilation of the Li Family
"Yes, it’s him, his possibility is the greatest..."
"From the incident last time, to what Ziyang did this time..."
"He truly must hate the Li Family to the bone and has every reason to completely annihilate them... If anyone should detest the Li Family the most, it’s unequivocally him!"
But does he have the capability?
Does he really lack the capability?
Li Wenchao’s fist clenched even tighter, and his mind pondered more and more.
Chen Jianguo wasn’t as simple as he had imagined... Not just a dragon that doesn’t cross rivers...
As his thoughts ventured deeper, Li Wenchao suddenly felt a chill creeping over his body; he realized that he might have really been wrong all along. He made mistakes on some minor details, leading him to repeatedly err...
How could a country bumpkin with no background survive amidst the cracks of the Four Great Families, and how was it possible for him to seize such favorable opportunities? How did he manage to so quickly develop the Jianguo Group’s business...
More than twenty years ago, from the moment Chen Jianguo emerged in G City, he was no longer simple. It was as if a giant invisible hand was in control, orchestrating and meticulously cultivating him...
Detail after detail, he had actually always attributed all this to dumb luck!
Even after the last time, surviving such a huge blow, he still...
How could one person experience dumb luck, let alone continuously? And how could a man who rose through dumb luck cause the Ma Family to take such decisive action against them? And to press down on the Li Family so hard?
Chen Jianguo!
In Li Wenchao’s mind, this name echoed incessantly. He had to convey this name to Li Ziyoung and Li Ziming, the brothers; he needed to let them know who their Li Family’s true enemy was!
"Grandpa Li, it’s getting late; we should go!!"
Zeng Xiaomei didn’t know what was running through Li Wenchao’s mind at that moment; she just silently watched him, observed the ever-shifting expressions on his face—sometimes inexplicably sorrowful, at other times intensely agitated...
It wasn’t until the setting sun began to sink and the light inside the room grew dim that she slowly spoke up, breaking the silence.
"Ah?!"
Li Wenchao seemed to be jolted awake all of a sudden, and with an "ah," he realized that the sky was already darkening, his mood returning to reality. Looking at Zeng Xiaomei opposite him, he slowly stood up. "Let’s go, allowing you to stand here with this old man for half a day, I’ve wearied you."
Zeng Xiaomei shook her head silently without speaking, just silently watching Li Wenchao’s stooped figure. She didn’t know what had been on his mind for so long, but she could sense with her acute detection as a criminal police officer that Li Wenchao seemed to have aged a bit more in just a brief moment.
...................................
The patriarch of the Li Family, Li Wenchao, was arrested and imprisoned. Almost without exception, all members of the Li Family were incarcerated, save for a few grandsons who were fugitives. The Li Group’s case was officially filed.
All of the media outlets began to buzz, and everyone was eager to follow the trial process, the outcomes, and so forth...
Yet, to everyone’s astonishment, this case, which had stirred furious public interest and maintained a relentless media frenzy for over a week, did not endure many twists and turns; it quickly came to a definitive close. Faced with overwhelming evidence, Li Wenchao admitted to all charges without contesting, and the rest of the Li Family admitted to their various criminal and civil cases without denial. G City’s court ruled against each of them. A warrant was issued for the apprehension of the fugitive Li Family members, especially Li Ziyoung, already identified as the mastermind behind multiple accidents and a mass murderer, for arrest nationwide and internationally.
Li Wenchao was sentenced to death, a verdict that would be carried out immediately once validated by Xuanwu Country’s courts. The other members and relatives of the Li Family received varied sentences, ranging from suspended death penalty and life imprisonment to fixed-term sentences of 3 to several decades. Li Wenchao and all the Li Family members, including those in custody, accepted the judicial decisions of G City’s courts without any appeal.
This outcome once again sparked hot debates in the news. The ease with which Li Wenchao accepted his punishment, without the anticipated appeals and claims of innocence that could have protracted the process for years, was truly surprising.
However, insiders were not at all surprised. Given the damning evidence and compounded pressures...
Li Wenchao’s death penalty was an inevitable conclusion that had been determined long ago!
For the crimes he had committed, even death ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times would not be deemed excessive.
While the general public followed the fate of Li Wenchao and the sentencing of those bastards from the Li Family, the Li Family’s assets were completely and officially seized by the state, and legal procedures such as auctions were carried out for various real estate properties and other assets...
The once-glorious Li dynasty that shone brightly in G City had been utterly and completely annihilated.
Xiao Yi looked at the newspaper in front of him, at the photograph of Li Wenchao, as well as the latest court verdict, and let out a soft sigh. He truly had not expected that in the end, Li Ziyoung and Li Ziming would still manage to escape, and together with Li Zijie, who had already been sent abroad, the Li Family had three fugitives in total.
This outcome was not what he wanted.
Especially since it was verified that the mastermind behind the assassination of Chen Jianguo, Li Ziyoung, had managed to flee, this was something he could not accept!
After all, his main purpose in doing this was to annihilate the mastermind behind Chen Jianguo’s assassination!
However, at this point, with a vast sea of people, the probability of finding someone was very low, especially someone like Li Ziyoung. It was now impossible for him to find Li Ziyoung and bring him to the police.
Alas... it was his own fault for being too careless, knowing full well that the enemy had someone in the Condensation period. If he decided to take one or two people away, those police officers couldn’t touch them at all...
Now he could only wait for a future opportunity to deal with them.
Xiao Yi reluctantly put down the newspaper.
However, this time, Uncle Chen not only resolved the previous crisis, recouped the previous losses, but also successfully acquired the main industries of the Li Group, which could be considered a gain amidst no gains.
Besides, even if he had taken action himself at the time, he might not have been able to intercept Li Ziyoung and Li Ziming. The guy in the Condensation period was truly formidable. He was probably a notch above himself, and in a direct confrontation, his odds of winning were not high.
After reassuring himself, Xiao Yi’s mood finally eased slightly. He glanced at the time, and feeling it was about right, stretched lazily and turned to walk towards the downstairs area.
As the massive storm gradually drew to a close and approached its end, his vacation was also over, and the steps towards the end of the school term were drawing ever closer...

"Grandpa, rest assured, we will avenge you!"
In a room on the outskirts of Glass City, Li Ziyoung and Li Ziming sat quietly, holding the newspaper in their hands, and looking at the latest report on it. Their eyes were filled with bloodshot veins. They had no tears left, for they both knew that tears would never help them; all they needed to do was to become strong and powerful!
Li Ziming had lost weight noticeably, but his entire demeanor seemed more defined, and his eyes gradually took on a firmness that he had never possessed before.
"If you seek revenge, you must have strength. Without strength, everything is just empty talk."
Old Wu looked at the two young men in front of him, a sigh flashing in his eyes as he spoke softly.
"Grandpa Wu, please accept me as your disciple!"
Li Ziming suddenly knelt with a thud before Old Wu.
"Grandpa Wu, I too am willing to take you as my master!"
Having witnessed Old Wu’s prowess, Li Ziyoung knew that even his master couldn’t compare with him. Seeing Li Ziming kneel, he didn’t hesitate and also knelt down. He believed that by learning from Old Wu’s formidable skills, no matter who he faced, he would be completely fearless. That would be the moment when the Li Family would rise again!
"Your talent is not high, alas, for Old Li’s sake, I’ll accept you."
Old Wu looked at the kneeling brothers Li Ziyoung and Li Ziming, his gaze settling on the resolute Li Ziming, as he shook his head and let out a sigh.
"Thank you, Master!"
Upon hearing Old Wu’s words, Li Ziming’s eyes immediately showed a hint of excitement. He fervently kowtowed three times, knocking his forehead heavily and nearly breaking the skin.
"Grandpa Wu, please accept me too! I will train hard in kungfu!"
Seeing that Old Wu had taken in Li Ziming but had no reaction towards him, Li Ziyoung became anxious.
"You already have a sect and a deep foundation in mental methods; I cannot take you as a disciple. You don’t need to take me as your master. What you need is to diligently practice arduous cultivation!"
Old Wu shook his head, seeing the disappointment on Li Ziyoung’s face, and reassured him softly, "You have good talent, and your earlier foundation is also strong. If you commit to arduous cultivation, you still have a chance to break through. Just focus on your cultivation. If there’s anything you don’t understand, any difficulties, talk to me. I’ll help you as much as I can." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
