“Big brother, do you know what you are doing?” Li Wu’s expression turned cold. He never expected Li Feng to tear up the family order. Had Li Feng become so arrogant that he no longer respected family commands?
“Of course I know what I am doing.” Li Feng sneered. A family order, what a fine family order. Fengyuan Group was built through his own hard work, not family property. Taking his company with one order was impossible.
Not to mention he only held the title of family eldest young master now. Even if he became the heir, he would never hand over his company to the family. It was impossible. In the family, who did not have private assets? Who would dedicate their private property to the family?
Seeing Li Wu produce the family order, a cold smile flashed in Fu Yanxiong’s eyes nearby. Mu Jiajia was right. Even without his provocation, Li Wu would target Li Feng.
But Fu Yanxiong thought he should add fuel to the fire.
With that, Fu Yanxiong stood and said, “Li Feng, you are the family eldest young master, the designated Li family heir. How can you ignore a family order? For us aristocratic sons, family orders are above all.”
Li Feng gave Fu Yanxiong a cold glance and sneered. “Young Master Fu, you are truly concerned about my affairs, but I think you are meddling and worrying needlessly. You should mind yourself. In Tianhai City now, you are just a lone soul. I suggest you return to your family for help soon.”
“Li Feng, what do you mean?” Fu Yanxiong’s expression chilled.
Li Feng sneered and ignored him, turning his gaze to Li Wu.
“Big brother, do you know the consequences of defying a family order?” Li Wu said coldly.
“What consequences?”
“At least imprisonment, at worst expulsion from the family.” Li Wu said coldly. This was why he produced the order. Whether Li Feng accepted or not, it harmed him. Acceptance meant his hard-built Fengyuan Group and developed Intelligent One became family property, leaving him with nothing. Refusal meant defying the family. For a top family, they never showed mercy to those who defied orders.
“Is that so? But what does that have to do with me?” Li Feng sneered.
“Big brother, if I report that you tore up the family order, how do you think the family will handle it?” Li Wu pointed to the shredded pieces on the floor and stared coldly at Li Feng.
“I tore up the family order? Who saw it?” Li Feng sneered.
“I did not see it. How could Young Master Feng do such a thing? I say, Li Wu, stop framing him.” Song Zhiyuan quickly said. Li Wu fighting Li Feng? He increasingly favoured Li Wu less. Not mentioning the Xiantian realm expert by Li Feng’s side, did Li Wu think such tactics could touch Li Feng? Impossible. If Li Feng could not handle this, was he still Li Feng?
Though shocked that Li Feng tore the order, so what? If he did, he had ways to cope.
“Young Master Song, you are blatantly lying. Evidence and witnesses are here. Li Feng tore the order. He cannot deny it.” Fu Yanxiong stared coldly at Song Zhiyuan.
“Young Master Fu, your eyes must be blind, seeing things wrong, hallucinating.” Song Zhiyuan retorted.
“You…” Fu Yanxiong fumed, glaring viciously at Li Feng.
“You what? No one saw this but you. If not hallucinating, what? Miss Zhu, what do you say?” Song Zhiyuan turned to Zhu Yuanyang.
“I did not see Young Master Feng tear any family order. Did this happen?” Zhu Yuanyang asked curiously.
Song Zhiyuan gave Zhu Yuanyang a thumbs up inwardly. Women were women, natural actresses.
“Miss Zhu, you…” Fu Yanxiong looked at her incredulously. He never expected Zhu Yuanyang to side with Li Feng now. Did she no longer hate him after the slap at the Imperial Hotel?
“I did not see it either.” Ma Xiaoyong had hesitated earlier. He did not want to provoke Li Feng, who he could not afford to offend now. Offending him might mean not leaving Tianhai City. Seeing Zhu Yuanyang speak, he followed.
“You all…” Fu Yanxiong never imagined those who hated Li Feng would stand with him now.
Not just Fu Yanxiong, Li Wu’s face changed drastically too. Song Zhiyuan, Zhu Yuanyang, Ma Xiaoyong, were they all supporting Li Feng? Had Li Feng gathered so many allies?
Killing intent surged in Li Wu. The more allies Li Feng had, the greater the pressure on him. Even if he could not kill Li Feng this time, he could not let him off easy.
“Big brother, in broad daylight, under clear skies, you cannot deny it. Do you think the world is blind and foolish? This is evidence.” Li Wu sneered, pointing to the floor fragments.
Li Feng snorted. “Is this a family order? Li Wu, I think you forged it. Your guts grow bolder, daring to forge a family order, truly audacious and lawless.”
“What did you say?” Li Wu’s expression chilled. He never expected Li Feng to accuse him of forgery. Impossible. Even with ten times the courage, he would not forge one.
But soon, Li Wu sneered inwardly. Li Feng was desperate and twisting facts. He had overestimated him.
“I said this family order is your forgery.” Li Feng sneered.
“Big brother, I call you big brother out of respect. Food can be eaten carelessly, but words cannot be spoken carelessly. You say my family order is forged. Tell me, how did I forge it?” Li Wu stared coldly at Li Feng.
“How forged?” Li Feng sneered, gaze on Li Wu, then laughed loudly. “Li Wu, do you really want me to say?”
“Big brother, afraid to speak?” Li Wu snorted. He thought Li Feng was stalling, hoping for mercy. Hmph, impossible. He might spare a useless Li Feng to appear brotherly before the world, but this Li Feng was not useless. He must die.
“Afraid?”
Li Feng looked deeply at Li Wu, sighed. “Li Wu, I am thinking of you, but you take kindness for malice. I worry saying it will embarrass you, make you unable to escape family punishment.”
“Is that so? Never expected big brother to think of me. But I stand straight and sit upright, unafraid of embarrassment. Since you say I forged the order, tell how. If you dare not, come with me to the family enforcement hall.” Li Wu smiled coldly.
Li Feng stared coldly. “Family order, what is a family order? Li Wu, I see no patriarch’s signature or seal on your order. Tell me, without them, what family order is this?”
Li Wu paused. Li Feng’s words were unexpected but reasonable. His order lacked the patriarch’s signature and seal, but he said gravely, “This is the elder council’s order.”
“Elder council’s order?” Li Feng sneered, staring coldly. “Fine elder council order. Li Wu, does our Li family have no patriarch? When do family orders come from the elder council? Do you even respect the patriarch? You want enforcement hall? Am I, Li Feng, afraid? Hmph, one without patriarch approval should not exist in the Li family.”
“Li Feng, you…” Li Wu’s face changed drastically. He never thought Li Feng would seize this. If his order had a flaw, it was lacking the patriarch’s signature and seal. Not that he did not want them, but he could not get them. The patriarch was Li Chuanwei, Li Feng’s father. How could he agree to fold Li Feng’s Fengyuan Group into the family?
“Did I say wrong?” Li Feng sneered. Tearing the order was not impulse. A misstep could be disastrous. He offended many yet stayed safe partly due to his strength, but mostly the Li family backing, which deterred others.
“Li Feng, this is the elder council’s order.” Li Wu said gravely.
“Elder council’s order? When can it execute without patriarch approval? No signature, no seal, you call this a family order? Hmph, Li Wu, do you take me for an idiot? If not for you being my cousin, forging a family order alone would doom you. You want enforcement hall? Fine, am I afraid? I refuse to believe you cover the sky in the family.” Li Feng stared coldly.
“You, you…” Li Wu’s face turned livid with rage, gaze icy on Li Feng.
“Li Wu, only you could think of such childish tactics. Without a lesson, you know no bounds. Hmph, this is not over. I will report to the enforcement hall and ensure family sanctions.” Li Feng said coldly.
