“Liu Shichao?”
Seeing the young man who emerged, Li Feng’s pupils contracted, his complexion changed slightly. He never imagined that the person appearing would actually be Liu Shichao. Moreover, the tone was so venomous.
Liu Shichao’s gaze was icy cold and filled with killing intent, something Li Feng had never seen before. All along, Li Feng had thought Liu Shichao was just a bully who picked on the weak and feared the strong, a spoiled dandy, but at this moment, Liu Shichao seemed like a completely different person.
“Indeed, Li Feng, you didn’t expect this, did you.” Liu Shichao looked at Li Feng, his eyes full of coldness.
“What didn’t I expect?” Li Feng snorted coldly and said.
“You didn’t expect me to come and expose your unspeakable motives, right?” Liu Shichao said with a cold laugh.
“What unspeakable motives do I have? This is truly ridiculous.” Li Feng gave him a cold glance. Originally, after Liu Shichao framed Zhong Shuhui, he had resolved to get rid of him quickly. Now Liu Shichao suddenly popped up again, clearly intending to put him to death. Killing intent surged in his heart.
At this moment, Li Feng felt this was a carefully designed trap, just waiting for him to jump in. However, there were still some things he didn’t understand: what role was this Liu Shichao playing in this trap?
“Because you want to interfere in our Liu family’s affairs.” Liu Shichao said coldly.
“Interfere in your Liu family? What a joke. Why would I interfere in your Liu family? What does your Liu family have that’s worth my interference? Besides, what does this have to do with Liu Shijie’s death?” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“Because you want me to become the Liu family’s heir. That’s why you killed Liu Shijie.” Liu Shichao said coldly.
“What a joke. Whether you become the Liu family heir or not, what does that have to do with me? Liu Shichao, did you not sleep well last night? Are you talking in your sleep now?” Li Feng hadn’t expected Liu Shichao to say such things. It seemed he was completely intent on turning against him.
A chill ran through Li Feng’s heart. He didn’t know what benefit Liu Shichao gained from saying this. Did he think that with Liu Shijie dead, he could become the Li family’s heir, and that’s why he was turning against him?
But thinking about this now was useless. The key was to resolve the trouble in front of him.
“Because you want me to become the Liu family heir, thereby controlling the Liu family.” Liu Shichao looked coldly at Li Feng and said, “I have to admit, Li Feng, you are the most scheming person I’ve ever met, but you never imagined that I only pretended to agree on the surface. In my heart, I’ve long planned to expose your conspiracies and schemes to the public. Let everyone see your sinister, cunning, despicable, and shameless true face.”
“Hahaha. Liu Shichao, are you making up stories?” Li Feng laughed loudly, then looked coldly at Liu Shichao and said, “You say I want to control you. Then tell me, how exactly am I controlling you?”
“You poisoned me. You want to control me through deadly poison, thereby controlling the Liu family.” Liu Shichao said coldly.
“Poisoned? Liu Shichao, some things can be eaten in quantity, but words can’t be spoken carelessly. You say I poisoned you? Hmph, then tell me, what poison did I use on you? DDT or arsenic? This is truly ridiculous. Do you think I would poison you? You think too highly of yourself. What are you, Liu Shichao? Would I, Li Feng, need to poison you?” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“Li Feng, stop making excuses. Now I’ve already expelled the poison from my body. I’m no longer under your control. You want to control me? You can’t do it.” Liu Shichao laughed coldly. Thinking of the poison Li Feng had put in him, his heart filled with hatred. During those days when Li Feng poisoned him, he felt like he was living in hell every moment. Now it was good: the poison in his body was gone, and Li Feng no longer posed a threat to him.
“Liu Shichao, I have to say you’re sick.” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“You…” Liu Shichao looked at Li Feng angrily and said coldly, “Li Feng, even now, you still don’t want to admit it?”
“Admit?” Li Feng laughed coldly, his gaze falling on Liu Shichao. He said, “Liu Shichao, oh Liu Shichao, up to now, it’s just your one-sided story. You say I poisoned you, so I poisoned you. Then if you say your wife was slept with by me, does that mean I really did sleep with your wife?”
The corners of Li Feng’s mouth curved into a cold smile. He said, “However, I’m not interested in poisoning you, but I am interested in your wife. I wonder, does Liu Shichao even have a wife now?”
Glancing at Liu Shichao, whose face was livid, Li Feng continued, “Moreover, I could also say that you poisoned me, with the aim of controlling me and thereby controlling the Li family. Ha, Liu Shichao, look at your livid face. Could it be that I hit the mark? You wouldn’t really poison me, would you? What am I to do? Am I going to die? Oh heavens, Liu Shichao, how can you be so heartless? I, Li Feng, never offended you.”
“Li Feng, have you said enough?” Liu Shichao’s expression turned cold, his face livid with anger. He hadn’t expected Li Feng to be so utterly unreasonable.
“What? Did I hit the mark?” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“You…”
“You what? Liu Shichao, this is your unspeakable motive, isn’t it? Hmph, you really are a despicable and shameless person. I, Li Feng, misjudged you. To think I treated you as a friend.” Li Feng said coldly.
“Li Feng.” Liu Shichao looked coldly at Li Feng, gnashing his teeth and roaring in anger. If looks could devour people, Li Feng would probably be eaten until not even his bones remained.
“Liu Shichao, I think Liu Shijie’s death probably has something to do with you. With Liu Shijie dead, you become Liu Dongjian’s only son and can legitimately become the Liu family heir. No matter how you look at it, it only benefits you.” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
“You…”
“Am I wrong? Liu Shichao, I have to admire your scheming, admire your methods. I never imagined you were so ruthless, even able to lay hands on your own brother. Liu Shichao, oh Liu Shichao, I never thought you could be so deranged.” Li Feng said with a cold laugh.
Li Feng’s suspicion of Liu Shichao wasn’t without reason. Last time, in front of him, Liu Shichao had revealed bone-deep hatred toward Liu Shijie. Moreover, when he set up the ambush against Zhong Shuhui, it proved there were experts around Liu Shichao. Liu Shijie wasn’t any kind of expert. Killing him would be easy for the people around Liu Shichao.
Li Feng thought that Liu Shichao’s goal was, after killing Liu Shijie, to frame him and pin Liu Shijie’s death on him. Now it seemed Liu Dongjian believed his words and wanted to kill him to avenge Liu Shijie.
Wait!
Suddenly Li Feng remembered: if Liu Dongjian wanted revenge, he would only target him alone. Why bring Hu Yuanyuan too? Did he think Hu Yuanyuan was also the murderer who killed Liu Shijie?
That was clearly impossible. If Liu Shichao’s earlier words were suspecting him of killing Liu Shijie for a motive, then what about Hu Yuanyuan? Why did Liu Dongjian have Liu Zhankuang bring her? Did Liu Dongjian also want to kill Hu Yuanyuan to avenge Liu Shijie because she was his woman?
Li Feng felt that this matter was probably not as simple as he thought. Behind this matter, there was probably a deeper purpose.
Thinking of this, Li Feng looked at Liu Shichao and noticed, in his angry gaze, a trace of smugness.
This…
Could it be that Liu Shijie wasn’t killed by Liu Shichao, and he was smug about framing him? Or was there another reason? In that instant, Li Feng became confused again.
“You’re slandering me with false accusations.” Liu Shichao said, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
“I’m slandering you? Liu Shichao, did I hit the mark, making you embarrassed and angry? Today, in front of so many people, you still don’t want to admit it?” Li Feng laughed coldly, turned his head to look at Liu Dongjian, and said, “Liu family head, you’ve raised a fine son. Fratricide is rare in the world, truly one of a kind.”
“Li Feng, you don’t need to divert the topic here. No matter how much you quibble and confuse things, you can’t hide your sinister and cunning evil heart. The vengeance for killing my son is irreconcilable,” Liu Dongjian said coldly.
“Then what does the Liu family head want?” Li Feng’s eyes turned cold. He knew that no matter what he said now, Liu Dongjian wouldn’t believe him. Saying more was meaningless, and he didn’t want to waste words.
“Murder demands a life. It’s only natural.” Liu Dongjian looked coldly at Li Feng and said.
“Hmph, if you want my life, it depends on whether you have the ability.” Li Feng laughed coldly and said to Hu Yuanyuan, “Yuanyuan, you and Old Lu leave first.”
Li Feng was already prepared for a big fight. If talking failed, then fists would solve it. But with Hu Yuanyuan here, he wasn’t at ease.
“Li Feng, I…” Hu Yuanyuan looked at Li Feng worriedly. How could she not understand Liu Dongjian and the others’ sinister intentions? But she worried that Li Feng alone couldn’t handle so many people. No matter how strong Li Feng was, he was just one person.
“Don’t worry, I have it under control.” Li Feng interrupted her, his gaze turning to Old Lu.
“Little kid, I can guarantee the girl’s safety.” Old Lu picked his nose and said indifferently.
Li Feng nodded. At this time, he could only trust Old Lu.
“Hu Yuanyuan is not allowed to leave either,” Liu Dongjian said in a deep voice.
“Liu Dongjian, this seems to be a matter between you and me. What does it have to do with Hu Yuanyuan?” Li Feng turned his head and said coldly.
“It has nothing to do with Hu Yuanyuan, but Hu Yuanyuan has a relationship with you.” Liu Dongjian said coldly. Killing Li Feng was not only to avenge his son’s death but, more importantly, because Li Feng’s existence was a threat. Even the Lord had told them to be careful of Li Feng, so Liu Dongjian decided to kill Li Feng and eliminate future troubles forever.
Liu Dongjian knew that wanting to kill Li Feng carried great risk. After all, Li Feng’s identity was there. Even the Lord would be somewhat wary of the Li family.
So to kill Li Feng, he could only use another method. Thus, Liu Dongjian thought of Hu Yuanyuan. This Hu Yuanyuan was Li Feng’s woman. If she was in his hands, he wouldn’t fear Li Feng not surrendering.
Li Feng laughed coldly, “I never expected you, Liu Dongjian, to be such a despicable and shameless person, wanting to use a woman to threaten me. However, do you think your scheme will succeed?”
