"Ha ha! You say you met President Li by chance on the road? I might believe that. But that you're opening a business with him? That's a ridiculous joke!"
"Do you even know who President Li is? He's worth billions; his actions involve millions of yuan in an instant. Do you really think he'd need to open a business with you?"
"If you were trying to scare me, at least come up with a more believable excuse."
Leopard laughed out loud. In his opinion, this was nothing more than a desperate attempt by Luo Qingyu, who, hearing the name Li Yun, tried to use it as a shield to intimidate him.
What a shame, thought Leopard. After decades on the streets, it would be embarrassing for someone like him to back down because of a young girl.
With no other options, Luo Qingyu resorted to her last card. With tears in her eyes and an urgent tone, she said:
"I… I really know President Li! If you don't believe me, I can call him and have him come here."
However, the more Luo Qingyu insisted on knowing Li Yun, the more enraged Leopard became, seeing it as an attempt to mock him.
"Fine!"
"You say you know President Li? Then call him right now and make him come. If he doesn't show up, you'll have to deal with me!"
Leopard pointed at Luo Qingyu with a furious look.
If it weren't for Luo Qingyu's considerable attractiveness, Leopard would have already lost his patience with what he considered repeated challenges.
With no other choice, Luo Qingyu took out her phone and dialed a number.
Kaiyang Group.
At that moment, Li Yun was presiding over a meeting discussing how to consolidate control over the Yang clan and three other influential families in Jinling.
Suddenly, his phone began to ring.
Seeing Luo Qingyu's name on the screen, Li Yun smiled intriguingly.
It seemed everything was going according to plan.
He raised a hand to interrupt the well-dressed man who was speaking in front of him and left the conference room.
Inside the meeting room, everyone exchanged puzzled glances. What call could be so important to interrupt a meeting led by Li Yun?
…
Outside the room, Li Yun answered the phone: "Hello, Qingyu. Weren't you working at the tea shop? What happened for you to call me? Is it something urgent?"
"Brother Li! It's... it's that my family is in trouble. Someone wants to demolish our house by force, and... and they're also trying to hurt me. Can you come help us?"
On the other side of the line, Luo Qingyu spoke with an anxious tone. Li Yun was her only hope.
"Demolish your house? Try to hurt you? What's going on? Tell me quickly." Li Yun asked, although he already knew the answer.
"It's… it's that our family…"
Luo Qingyu briefly explained the situation.
"Got it. For now, don't confront those people. The material things don't matter as long as you're safe."
"Send me the exact address of your house. I'll go right away."
Although Li Yun already knew the address, he had to keep up appearances.
"Alright, I'll send it to you right now!"
Without hesitation, Luo Qingyu sent her location.
After hanging up, Li Yun's expression of urgency faded. Calmly, he returned to the meeting room.
…
"Alright, that's it. The tasks have been assigned. Carry them out immediately."
After speaking for another ten minutes and giving out instructions, Li Yun left with his driver and bodyguard, Chu Jun, heading toward Luo Qingyu's house.
Chu Jun was now his personal driver and bodyguard. Not because Li Yun particularly trusted him, but because having an expert of his caliber was impressive.
If he had a female bodyguard with the same level of skill, Li Yun wouldn't hesitate to replace Chu Jun. After all, a woman could fulfill other functions beyond just protecting him.
…
Meanwhile, Luo Fan, who had been absent since early in the morning, had not escaped from his home. Instead, he was trying to gather evidence against Li Yun.
He knew that his family was influenced by Li Yun, and they wouldn't believe anything bad about him without solid proof.
However, being a nobody with no resources, Luo Fan barely had a chance of finding anything. Li Yun always made sure to leave no traces.
Frustrated, Luo Fan promised himself: "Li Yun, I can't believe you hide everything so well. You must make a mistake eventually! If I persevere, I'll find the evidence to expose your crimes."
After a fruitless morning, Luo Fan decided to return home.
Upon arrival, he noticed a crowd in front of his house. The sounds of banging and destruction were coming from inside.
"It can't be! Is Li Yun already attacking my family?"
With his heart racing, he ran towards the house.
A neighbor recognized him and shouted: "Luo Fan! You're finally back! Some thugs are destroying your house, and your family is still inside! Hurry, get in!"
Hearing this, Luo Fan grabbed a nearby steel bar and headed determinedly inside his home.
