Chapter 763: Li Mengjie’s brother

Li Jie was at a loss, now; he had originally come to make trouble, but if he followed the other’s words and had his side put down their guns, that would be showing weakness voluntarily. In all his years as a soldier, when had he ever fallen into a disadvantageous position? Besides, if he really did that, wouldn’t it disgrace the army? A whole company’s strength was being suppressed by just ten people on the other side—it was a joke not worth mentioning.

Just as neither side would give in, the door of another villa unexpectedly opened from the inside, and Li Mengjie followed by Ling Xuejiu came out one after the other. When they saw the scene, they were immediately stunned, completely unaware of what had happened. It was Li Mengjie, with her sharp eyes, who quickly spotted her older brother, as well as Leng Xuan facing off against him. She hurriedly called out, "Big Brother, what are you doing?"

Li Jie said, "Sister, some people here don’t welcome us."

Leng Xuan responded indifferently, "With so many of you coming in with guns, of course I had to stop you."

Ling Xuejiu frowned, "Leng Xuan, put away your gun. Visitors should be treated as guests; this is too impolite."

Leng Xuan smiled, shrugged, and said, "Alright, since the young miss has spoken, I’ll let them off. Old Cheng, take your men to stand guard. Leave this area to me."

When the soldiers saw the Grim Reaper Harvester’s gun lowered, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. They also, following Li Jie’s orders, put away their guns.

Li Mengjie ran up affectionately and took Li Jie’s arm, laughing, "Big Brother, why didn’t you give a heads-up before you came? I would have gone out to welcome you. Come on, let’s go inside."

After sitting down in the living room, Li Jie clearly recognized Ling Xuejiu and said with a smile, "Xue Jiu, it’s been years since I’ve seen you, and you’ve become even more beautiful. I bet the number of people chasing after you could form a regiment."

Ling Xuejiu said shyly, "That’s not true, Big Brother Li is just joking."

Li Mengjie brought a cup of water for Li Jie, then sat down beside him, grinning as she asked, "Big Brother, what brings you here this time?"

"What do you think? You’re feigning ignorance," Li Jie said, his face darkening, "Dad let you stay here to study hard, not to find yourself a boyfriend. If it hadn’t been for He Bin passing the message, Dad and I would still be in the dark. You really don’t make life easy."

Li Mengjie said cheekily, "Big Brother, so what orders did you come here with from Dad this time?"

"It’s simple," Li Jie removed the handgun from his waist and placed it on the table with a snort, "Anybody who takes advantage of you will pay the price." Leng Xuan’s face immediately turned unnatural by his side; this was clearly a challenge directed at him.

At this moment, Ling Xuejiu was sitting beside and listening to the conversation between Li Mengjie and her brother with a puzzled look, completely clueless about what they were talking about. Especially seeing the handgun being taken out, she was even more confused. Noticing this, Li Mengjie leaned over and quietly started to explain things to her.

After understanding, Ling Xue said softly, "You’re really causing trouble for Leng Xuan, aren’t you?"

"Why? Can’t bear it?" Li Mengjie laughed and said, "Don’t worry, I’m just borrowing him for a bit, and I’ll return him to you once I’m done."

"Pah!" Ling Xuejiu blushed and spat out, "Use him all you want; for however long has nothing to do with me."

Li Mengjie smiled softly, then turned to Li Jie and asked, "Big Brother, what price do you plan to have him pay?"
