Chapter 885 - 883: Li Family Council

It's all settled here.

Ye Qiu and Bai Lan leave.

Li Hai also takes Li Mo back to the clan, preparing to treat his injuries.

When Li Mo's father, Li Hai's Seventh Uncle, Li Pengfei, sees Li Mo barely alive, he is instantly overwhelmed with shock and rage, and roars out.

"Who did this?!"

After all, facing an elder of the same clan, Li Hai feels somewhat apprehensive and doesn't directly explain the reason, he hesitates for a moment, and finally says.

"Seventh Uncle, this matter is a long story. You should treat Li Mo first; once he's well, I will explain it to you."

Having said that, Li Hai quickly slips away.

Although Li Hai doesn't explain the cause to Li Pengfei at the time, Li Pengfei soon learns the whole story from the awakened Li Mo.

"Dad! I've been ruined, all because of that bastard Li Hai! You have to stand up for me! Dad!!"

When Li Mo awakes, he immediately tearfully accuses Li Hai of his wrongdoings.

Li Pengfei becomes furious upon hearing this.

It turns out to be Li Hai!

It turns out that Li Hai ruined his son!!

Li Pengfei is extremely angry, but he curbs the urge to immediately confront Li Hai.

Because Li Hai is the son of Li Pengfei's elder brother, also the current Patriarch of the Li Family, holding an extraordinary position.

To directly punish Li Hai, he must utilize the power of the entire clan.

Hence, Li Pengfei immediately contacts all members of the clan.

As soon as Li Pengfei speaks of this matter, it instantly creates a great uproar within the Li Family!

Li Hai actually harmed his cousin?!

Is he out of his mind?!

Immediately, many people stand on Li Pengfei's side.

Li Pengfei discusses with these people and decides to hold a family meeting two days later.

To denounce Li Hai!

Nearly a hundred people from the Li Clan gather together, all converging in the clan's assembly hall.

As the Patriarch is away for a meeting and cooperation talks, he is absent.

Li Hai along with his two brothers are summoned, sitting to one side.

"Bang!"

Li Pengfei, with hair and beard bristling, suddenly smashes a teacup, points at Li Hai, and angrily scolds.

"Li Hai! You actually ruined my son's future for an outsider! Are you possessed, or do you look down on me, Li Pengfei, with another agenda?!"

Li Pengfei's anger is indeed reasonable.

Imagine his precious son being ruined concerning a man's most important asset, not only is it humiliating, but it also pains Li Pengfei immensely!

Moreover, the crucial point is, the one who did this is Li Hai, the son of his elder brother!

Li Hai disregarded the profound family ties and assisted an outsider against his own kin.

Li Pengfei is certainly incensed!

As soon as Li Pengfei's accusatory words are spoken, the atmosphere in the hall immediately becomes tense.

"Li Hai, this time you've overstepped the bounds! No matter the reason, you should not have ruined Li Mo!"

Another elder follows up, clearly standing on Li Pengfei's side.

"Right! Li Hai! What you've done not only goes against the family's unity but also chills the hearts of our clan's relatives! It's utterly excessive!"

"Right! Li Hai, you're too much!"

"Li Hai, you disgrace the Patriarch's son!!"

For a moment, nearly half of those in the assembly hall are reproaching Li Hai.

The denunciation resounds sky-high!

Faced with reproach from these elders, Li Hai instantly feels enormous pressure, yet he doesn't regret his decision at the time.

Not to mention the reasons for drawing Ye Qiu closer, just based on Li Hai's understanding of Ye Qiu.

Even if Li Hai hadn't ruined Li Mo, Ye Qiu would undoubtedly have taken action himself.

The outcome might have been worse; Ye Qiu might have taken Li Mo's life directly.

So, regardless of the elders' reproaches at the moment, Li Hai remains fearless and unrepentant.

Li Hai confronts Li Pengfei, defending himself with reason: "Seventh Uncle, you have no idea; the person Li Mo provoked is a vastly powerful and influential figure, an absolutely untouchable presence! If I hadn't managed it that way at the time, Li Mo likely wouldn't even be alive!"

Li Hai knows Ye Qiu very well, but Li Pengfei and the others cannot understand, thinking Li Hai is forcibly trying to absolve himself.

"Nonsense!!" Li Pengfei grows increasingly angry. "What do you mean by an absolutely untouchable influential figure?! My son said he's just a mere driver! Could my son be lesser than a mere driver?!"

Li Hai is also unreserved, stating his true inner thoughts.

"A driver is just an excuse for this influential figure to conceal his true identity! His genuine status is a high and mighty existence! We absolutely cannot provoke him, but must draw him close! At the time, in order to appease his wrath, I did what I did to Li Mo. Otherwise, our Li Family would make a formidable enemy, with unimaginable consequences!"

Li Hai's words provoke the clan members on Li Pengfei's side to ridicule with laughter.

"Li Hai! Stop your nonsense! Even if the person you're talking about has some background, our Li Family holds a non-trivial status in Hong Kong. Over the entirety of Hong Kong, besides Huo and Rong Family slightly surpassing us, who else couldn't we handle?!"

Who could make the Li Family extend such relentless solicitations? Even at the expense of harming kin to ingratiate? This approach is simply crazy!

"Indeed! Li Hai, you're truly losing worth! A minor character with some capability can elicit such admiration from you! Truly shortsighted!"

Seeing that no matter what he says, he cannot gain these people's recognition, Li Hai grows increasingly anxious, beads of sweat emerging on his forehead.

"Why can't you understand…!"

"Useless! Disgrace the Patriarch's son!"

"Li Hai! I demand a proper explanation! Not absurd excuses for evasion!"

Li Pengfei roars.

In short, regardless of how much Li Hai speaks, part of the clan remains uncomprehending, for in their perception, such a person simply cannot exist.

"All stop arguing!"

At a moment when the situation is deadlocked, Li Hai's elder brother, Li Cheng, suddenly shouts.

In the hall, the attention of all Li family members turns to him.

Since entering the assembly hall, Li Cheng has been silent, leaving his stance unclear.

Although Li Cheng is Li Hai's elder brother, the Li family knows this Li Cheng usually acts fairly, holding some prestige within the clan, and his words carry the most weight when the Patriarch is absent.

The Li clan awaits Li Cheng's words eagerly.

Li Cheng examines each clan member in the hall without speaking, and instead instructs a servant to bring a thick pile of documents and distribute them to the Li clan.

The Li clan looks puzzled, glancing at the documents in their hands, as Li Cheng loudly declares.

"The documents in your hands reveal the true identity of the person Li Mo provoked! You decide, can we afford to provoke such a talent?"

The Li clan, looking at the documents and hearing Li Cheng's words, gasps collectively.

"Demon King Ye Qiu!!"

Now they understand, who Li Mo provoked is indeed a truly untouchable individual!
