Chapter 782: Another Old Acquaintance

They fought for over 10 minutes.

Li Qiancheng and Yang Hui finally tired out.

Yang Ming was thus able to catch his breath.

But by now he was bruised and swollen lying on the ground moaning incessantly with blood on his lips and nose.

“Young Master Yang are you alright Young Master Yang?”

The young man who was drinking with Yang Ming in the private room earlier hurriedly helped Yang Ming to the sofa.

“Young… Young Master Li why did you hit me? Is there some misunderstanding?”

Leaning on the sofa Yang Ming spoke haltingly.

“Misunderstanding? There’s no misunderstanding!”

Li Qiancheng said through gritted teeth.

“What’s going on here?”

Yang Ming felt terribly wronged being beaten without knowing why.

“Yang Ming let me tell you what’s going on so you can die with a clear conscience…”

Yang Hui sneered and explained the whole situation.

What they didn’t notice was that when Xu Shaochen was mentioned the young man’s expression became unnatural.

Yang Ming was dumbfounded not expecting the reason for his beating to be so complex and convoluted.

He pursed his lips and looked at Li Qiancheng: “Young Master Li I admit this was my fault but can we let the matter of your humiliation today rest?”

“Heh trying to fan the flames in front of me? I’m telling you I’m not an idiot like Yang Hui.”

Li Qiancheng said disdainfully.

Given Xu Shaochen’s status he would never become a live-in son-in-law for the Li family

So in the end Li Qian Ya would definitely marry Xu Shaochen which wouldn’t threaten him anymore and he would be the future heir of the Li family.

So now he just needed to wait patiently and certainly wouldn’t be stupid enough to cause trouble again.

What’s the difference between that and seeking death?

Yang Hui felt a bit embarrassed. Big brother next time you insult me could you notify me to leave first? This is really awkward.

“Young Master Li you don’t think everything will be fine once Miss Li marries Xu Shaochen do you?”

Yang Ming said.

Li Qiancheng sneered: “What else do you think?”

“You’re making a big mistake Young Master Li. If that’s what you think then you’re in trouble. Xu Shaochen is a greedy person he definitely won’t sit by and let the Li family fall into your hands.”

Yang Ming spoke with an air of seriousness as if anxious for Li Qiancheng.

Li Qiancheng frowned: “The affairs of my Li family what right does an outsider like him have to interfere? Moreover even if he has any inappropriate thoughts the rest of the Li family won’t support him. They won’t let an outsider control the Li family.”

“Young Master Li he’s not an outsider he’s the Li family’s son-in-law. And he’s not just any outsider he’s rich and powerful. That’s enough for him to do many things that seem impossible.”

Yang Ming finished speaking and pointed to the young man beside him: “Young Master Li if you don’t believe me you can ask Brother Lin he has deep experience with this.”

“And this is…?”

Li Qiancheng and Yang Hui now looked properly at this tall and thin young man for the first time.

The young man spoke calmly: “Young Master Li Young Master Yang I am Lin Kai of the Lin family in Hong Kong. I believe you’ve heard of us.”

That’s right this young man was indeed Lin Kai.

By rights he should be in Mg Country now so how did he end up in Jingcheng?

“The Third Young Master of the Lin family I’ve heard of you. Your elder sister is currently in charge of the Lin family right?”

Li Qiancheng said looking at Lin Kai.

“My sister? More accurately Xu Shaochen is in charge.” Lin Kai sneered a flash of resentment in his eyes.

He had been used by Xu Shaochen while harboring hope then kicked aside. He harbored extreme resentment for this.

Yang Hui and Li Qiancheng looked at each other upon hearing Lin Kai’s words: “Young Master Lin what do you mean by that?”

Regarding the Lin family’s affairs many people only knew it was the result of power struggles among the Lin siblings. They didn’t know about Xu Shaochen’s involvement.

“It’s a long story. I was too naive back then and was used by Xu Shaochen…”

Lin Kai recounted the events with embellishments portraying Xu Shaochen as insatiably greedy cunning treacherous ruthless and cold-hearted.

(Xu Shaochen: *cough cough cough* Why does it feel like everything he’s saying is true?)

“Hiss—”

After listening Li Qiancheng and Yang Hui both drew in a sharp breath looking at Lin Kai with sympathy.

What a pitiful child constantly used by the school without realizing it and finally kicked off to Mg Country. This is just too tragic.

“Young Master Li my experience is the most painful lesson. Your current situation is so similar to mine you absolutely cannot let your guard down.”

Lin Kai said with heartfelt anguish. In reality he was just stirring up trouble trying to get Li Qiancheng to deal with Xu Shaochen to achieve his goal of revenge.

Li Qiancheng’s expression fluctuated. He had originally thought he could rest easy but now because of Lin Kai’s words he became anxious and uncertain.

With Lin Kai’s example before him and Xu Shaochen’s ability to cause trouble he felt a bit panicked.

“Young Master Li in my opinion Young Master Lin is right. We absolutely can’t be careless. After all you should know that while a man may have no intention of harming a tiger the tiger always intends to harm man.”

Yang Ming also added fuel to the fire not directly advising Li Qiancheng how to deal with Xu Shaochen but implying it in his words.

“Then what can I do… Even if he really has such intentions I can’t fight against someone so powerful.”

Li Qiancheng showed a self-mocking smile speaking insincerely.

Yang Ming Yang Hui and Lin Kai exchanged glances. With Xu Shaochen as a common enemy they automatically formed a united front without needing to communicate.

“Young Master Li in my opinion since ancient times it’s always been better to strike first than to suffer later. The difference in strength between you two is quite large so you need to prepare before he realizes what’s happening. Otherwise it will be too late to regret later.”

Yang Hui said through gritted teeth.

“That’s right Young Master Li I think my second brother has a point. If we wait until that Xu makes his move it’ll be too late.”

Yang Ming chimed in from the side.

“Young Master Li I am a living example. To others I may look like the glorious Third Young Master of the Lin family but only I know what kind of life I’m really living.”

Lin Kai didn’t directly incite Li Qiancheng but his words were the most persuasive because he himself was evidence.

Li Qiancheng hesitated. Finally gritting his teeth he said: “Then tell me what should I do to strike first?”

“In my opinion the simplest way is for someone to die then it’s all over.”

Lin Kai said casually.

Li Qiancheng shuddered and two people stood up immediately: “Are you crazy! Kill Xu Shaochen how many lives do you have to do such a thing!”

“Young Master Li don’t be so agitated. What I mean is we need to come up with a foolproof plan that can send him to the afterlife while ensuring we all come out unscathed.”

A glint of wisdom flashed in Lin Kai’s eyes. He was no longer the Lin Kai of the past.
