"What you said makes sense."
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng nodded solemnly. What Li Hai said was actually what he was thinking as well.
Because of Ye Qiu, the benefits they had received these days were obvious. It could be said that if the Li Family wanted to grow into Hong Kong's foremost family, they were indeed very reliant on Ye Qiu's presence.
Therefore, if possible, Ye Qiu absolutely must not die!!!
Their Li Family making a move to rescue Ye Qiu was a very good choice.
"Let's go find the other family mbers and discuss this matter, otherwise it might be too late."
Li Cheng said another sentence, making a decision.
Hearing Li Cheng's words, Li Hai also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although the relationship between their Li Family and Ye Qiu was essentially the Li Family exploiting Ye Qiu, without any real affection involved.
However, for Li Hai personally, Ye Qiu was still soone he had acknowledged as a big brother. Moreover, because of a series of interactions over these past days, Li Hai truly admired Ye Qiu and recognized him as his big brother.
So, no matter what, Li Hai did not want Ye Qiu to die.
Thus, the three brothers of the Li Family went to find the higher-level elders, intending to have them issue an order to mobilize the Li Family to rescue Ye Qiu!
However, when those senior elders of the Li Family heard the request from the three brothers, their expressions changed slightly, and they imdiately scolded: "Nonsense!!! Do you three know that Uncle Fu was once the strongest Feng Shui Master in Hong Kong? If we provoke Uncle Fu because of Ye Qiu, what if he holds a grudge against us?"
"Moreover, apart from our Li Family, the Huo Family, the Rong Family, and many other families have grudges with Ye Qiu. Once they know this news, they will have already sent people to stake out around Tai Ping Mountain. If we go to rescue Ye Qiu, we'll definitely co into conflict with them and end up fighting!"
"Exactly, just for one Ye Qiu, and not even ensuring his rescue, it's not worth paying such a high price!!!"
"In my opinion, the best choice is to wait and see. Once Ye Qiu dies, or if he makes it through, we'll then plan our next move."
...
The authoritative elders of the Li Family, with serious expressions, were not optimistic about the decision of the three brothers, preferring to maintain a spectator attitude and intervene as little as possible.
Facing the elders' attitude and words, the three brothers of the Li Family found it difficult to refute.
Because the elders' approach, although quite conservative, was a choice of self-preservation which was the safest way for the Li Family without bringing any risks.
"But during these days, all the major families in Hong Kong know that our relationship with Ye Qiu is good,"
However, Li Hai clenched his fist and couldn't help but say: "Even if we choose to stay neutral now and not rescue Ye Qiu, once Ye Qiu dies, those other families will still turn back and target us, won't they?"
"Not to ntion, these days, we've been suppressing the Huo Family and the Rong Family. Who knows how resentful they are towards us, waiting for an opportunity to get revenge, just hoping sothing happens to Ye Qiu."
When Li Hai said this, the elders of the Li Family also showed so displeasure, with so even giving Li Hai a stern look.
Did they really think these things hadn't been considered?
It's just that they had already made their stance clear, choosing self-preservation and non-intervention in this matter. Li Hai continued to bring it up, truly lacking discretion!!!
"No need to ntion it anymore, anyway, we won't agree. The risk is just too great!"
Imdiately, several elders coldly scolded, interrupting Li Hai and the others.
Upon hearing this, Li Hai felt a bit helpless as well.
Because the stance of these elders was very clear; they would not agree to the action of rescuing Ye Qiu.
Moreover, Li Hai also understood the real reason why these elders did not intend to rescue Ye Qiu.
Despite Ye Qiu's presence accelerating the developnt of the Li Family, the elders should have been quite pleased. However, the three brothers of the Li Family, in charge of currying favor with Ye Qiu, also saw their status in the Li Family increase significantly, gaining many benefits.
The elders, on the other hand, who didn't gain much benefit, were inevitably envious of the three brothers. Now with Ye Qiu's trouble, these elders were too busy being gleeful; how could they possibly assist the three brothers in rescuing Ye Qiu?
"No! In my opinion, Li Hai's proposal is indeed worth considering."
But just then, a dignified and steady voice ca from the side, making everyone pause in surprise.
"Patriarch!"
Turning their heads, everyone saw the head of the Li Family, Li Dongsheng, walking into the council chamber. Imdiately, the elders of the Li Family straightened their expressions, hastily greeting Li Dongsheng.
Then, several elders hurriedly said to Li Dongsheng: "Patriarch, you must reconsider. Provoking Uncle Fu and the other families for the sake of Ye Qiu is truly not worth it!!!"
"Don't worry, I have my own considerations."
Upon hearing this, Li Dongsheng gave them a dignified look, then calmly said, "Although our Li Family's action to rescue Ye Qiu carries significant risks, don't forget, if we succeed, the benefits are also evident."
"Providing help in need is always better than adding icing on the cake. When Ye Qiu was strong, we tried to please him, resulting in substantial developnt for our family with Ye Qiu's help. Now, when Ye Qiu is in danger, if we help him despite the risks, what will he think? Will he not strive even harder to assist our Li Family?"
Saying this, Li Dongsheng looked at the Li Family elders, who found themselves speechless.
Then, Li Dongsheng continued solemnly, "At that ti, our Li Family becoming Hong Kong's first family won't just be a dream."
"Patriarch truly has foresight and vision!!!"
At these words, the Li Family elders could only bow respectfully, praise Li Dongsheng's insight.
Seeing the change in attitude from the elders, Li Hai and the others couldn't help but feel a bit helpless.
This is the difference in status. The sa proposal, when spoken by them and when coming from the mouth of the family head, has completely different effects.
However, there was no denying that with Li Dongsheng standing by their side and affirming their proposal, the three brothers of the Li Family were still quite happy.
Because, with the family head's approval, the elders had no choice but to go along, thus the action to rescue Ye Qiu was essentially decided!
