"According to our investigation, the auction ntioned by Chief Instructor Leng and Miss Xu took place on a private yacht, and they completely lost contact after boarding the yacht."
"A few hours ago, the yacht already sailed into international waters, and no one knows what’s happening on board!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao’s body exuded a heavy aura, cold lights flickered in his eyes, and he asked coldly, "Who owns the yacht? Who is organizing this auction? What role does the Li Family play in this matter?!"
Xu ii replied, "It’s the Li Family’s private yacht!"
"This yacht is worth billions, and the Li Family never uses it lightly! It is only activated when entertaining top-tier clients!"
"And the reason the yacht is at open sea... is because there are too many shady transactions onboard, requiring confidentiality."
"The true organizer behind this auction is the eldest son of the current Li Family Patriarch, Li Jiaming. According to reliable information, he did not board the yacht this ti."
"Li Jiaming?" A cold glint appeared in Chen Xiao’s starry eyes, "Where is he now?"
Xu ii replied, "He should be at the Li Family Reception Manor!"
"Then let’s go directly." Chen Xiao said casually.
Right now, to find more clues, he had to start with this guy!
Xu ii showed a bit of difficulty on her face, "Mr. Chen, the Li Family Patriarch is currently hosting a birthday banquet at the Reception Manor, if we go now..."
"Let’s go directly!" Chen Xiao’s voice was icy, "I don’t care what they’re doing."
Now, Leng Baiyu and Xu Yanran are both deeply in crisis.
And since the Li Family is the organizer behind this mysterious auction, he naturally went to confront them first."
Moreover, ti is urgent.
Does he have ti to care about what the Li Family is doing?
Seeing Chen Xiao insist, Xu ii could only nod.
Lu Rugao’s face turned slightly ashen, "Are you planning to stir things up at the Li Family?"
Chen Xiao’s tone was calm but cold, "If they don’t honestly tell the information I want to know, I don’t mind causing a disturbance."
"Are you crazy? That’s the Li Family!" Lu Rugao’s elegant face looked very displeased, "Xiang City is different from Divine Land, here, power and wealth are everything! The clans are the ones who set the order! Moreover, they keep private ard forces!"
"Rashly barging in like this, you’ll surely die!"
"The Li Family won’t be courteous with you!"
"That’s just what I want." Chen Xiao said each word clearly.
"If you want to court death, go ahead, but I won’t accompany you." Lu Rugao was a bit panicked.
"Do you want a ride in the car, along with the hundred billion?" Chen Xiao coldly glanced at her.
Hearing this, Lu Rugao’s heart trembled slightly.
She glanced at Xu ii driving, and finally, she could only compromise.
This guy would do anything, she’s really worried that he’ll go crazy and be seen by Xu ii.
Then how could Lu Rugao face people in the future?
Compromise!
Hopefully, this guy will restrain himself a bit and not truly anger the Li Family.
After all, Xiang City has always been chaotic, with power overriding the law.
And the Li Family, as the leader amongst the Four Great Families in Xiang City, held a status akin to royalty, untouchable.
——
Li Family, Reception Manor.
The grand manor covers tens of thousands of square ters in Xiang City’s expensive land.
Red brick and white walls, glazed green stones.
Full of ancient charm.
Luxurious settings of trees, plants, pavilions, towers and terraces.
Showcasing the airs of a wealthy family.
Today’s Reception Manor is exceptionally lively, with countless luxurious cars parked neatly outside, many elegantly dressed n and won walking into the Reception Manor hall.
The hall is now filled with nurous illustrious figures, chatting, laughing, raising glasses and exchanging drinks.
They are all prominent figures in Xiang City.
Today is the Li Family Patriarch’s birthday banquet; getting an invite from the Li Family ans they cannot refuse.
Each of them offers birthday gifts valued millions, even tens of millions, up to billions.
Truly generous.
As the Li Family Patriarch, Li Tianhong, dressed in a red Tang suit, appeared extrely festive, smiling, greeting those who approached him one by one.
Throughout years, the Li Family has stood strong, catching the golden era, now only three or four generations in, they’ve topped Xiang City, their status unmovable.
The Li Family Patriarch’s birthday banquet naturally must be grand and elaborate.
Outside, two teams of guards stood by the manor gate, every five steps with a person, every three steps with a post, sternly checking those guests’ identity information.
Only those holding invitation cards are eligible to enter the banquet premises.
Chen Xiao and his group parked the car outside the manor.
Seeing the bustling scene before them, Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, cold lights flared.
Ready to step forward to walk in, but was stopped at the entrance.
Right then, a thick middle-aged male voice ca from behind Chen Xiao:
"This gentleman is my friend, do not be rude."
"Fourth Master!" Seeing the newcor, those guards lowered their heads to salute.
"Mr. Chen, I did not expect to et you here!" Li Zhenfang walked over briskly, very thrilled. Chen Xiao was his savior!
Moreover, his daughter has been thinking about Chen Xiao constantly, even losing appetite.
He also wished to pair Chen Xiao with his daughter.
"Uncle Li?" Chen Xiao turned back slightly surprised.
Unexpected to et Li Kani’s father here.
However, thinking of what Lu Rugao had told him, he was unsurprised, guessing that Li Zhenfang was the outcast illegitimate son Lu Rugao ntioned.
Judging by the situation, he’s here today to celebrate his elder brother Li Tianhong’s birthday.
"Chen Xiao!" Li Kani, dressed boldly and provocatively, ran excitedly over, gripping tightly onto Chen Xiao’s arm, pressing against his body, as though she wished to rge herself entirely with him.
Chen Xiao felt a bit awkward.
This girl was way too enthusiastic?
He wanted to pull his arm away but couldn’t manage.
Lu Rugao on the side had a sowhat uncertain expression—was this yet another of Chen Xiao’s lady friends?
This guy... must be quite flirtatious?
For so reason, she felt inexplicably annoyed.
Li Kani also noticed Lu Rugao, "Is she President Lu?"
She had seen Lu Rugao once at the Sail Raising Conference, leaving a deep impression.
"Why call her President Lu? She’s my attendant now, my number one lackey." Chen Xiao said.
"Attendant?!"
Li Zhenfang and Li Kani were both stunned.
The dignified eldest miss of the Lu Family, Lu Corporation’s leader, was Chen Xiao’s attendant? Nonetheless, seeing Lu Rugao had no intention to refute, they were even more astonished.
Li Kani admired Chen Xiao even more, no wonder he’s the man she fancies.
Outstanding!
She blinked her big eyes and asked, "Why are you here? Aren’t you in Yuncheng City?"
"Ca to Xiang City to handle so affairs, incidentally ca to pay respects." Chen Xiao replied leisurely.
Without revealing his purpose.
"Then it’s a coincidence, let’s go in together." Li Zhenfang smiled heartily, "This girl has been clamoring to go to Yuncheng City to find you recently; thankfully she bumped into you here."
Chen Xiao knew that a conflict with the Li Family was inevitable, if he went in with Li Kani father and daughter, they would be implicated.
However, just as he was about to refuse, he was warmly dragged in by Li Kani.
The sensation on his arm left him sowhat resigned.
"This is my friend, can I bring her in?" Li Kani asked the guards.
The guards looked at each other in dismay, "Miss Kani, this is against the rules, an invitation is required to ensure the Patriarch’s personal safety."
"If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!" Li Kani frowned.
Hearing this, the guards could only let them through, allowing Chen Xiao and his party to follow inside.
Once in the hall, Chen Xiao felt how extravagant the Xiang City Li Family truly was; describing the interior decoration as resplendent would not be an exaggeration, extrely luxurious.
Li Zhenfang led Chen Xiao and the group to their seats at the side.
Chen Xiao scanned the room briefly before retracting his gaze, asking casually, "I heard Li Family Patriarch’s eldest son Li Jiaming is the actual ruler of Li Family; which one is he?"
Wishing not to waste any ti, he just wanted to confront Li Jiaming directly, to force out the whereabouts of the senior sister!
