Li Langya came back from outside with empty steps, and just when he reached the door, he suddenly heard a burst of rapid footsteps.
He looked up and immediately saw a group of strong men approaching quickly, and then under the order of the leader, they surrounded the entire Li family.
Li Langya immediately trembled and turned pale.
He recognized from the clothes of these people that they were members of the faction!
When did the Li family offend someone from the faction?
Could it be that I snatched the poinsettia that someone had already ordered?
Thinking of this, Li Langya's face became even more ugly, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.
He hurriedly ran towards the mansion and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Dad, it's not good! Something bad is going to happen!"
Not long after, many people walked out of the Li family's residence, with Li Rongxian and Lin Muren leading the way, walking quickly.
When they waited outside the house, they saw that the Li family had been surrounded by people from factions.
Seeing this scene, Li Rongxian almost blacked out and fainted.
When he calmed down, he immediately looked at his son. The only one in the Li family who was idle all day was Li Langya. Without any explanation, he slapped Li Langya in the face.
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, and Li Langya was immediately stunned.
"You traitor!" Li Rongxian was angry and pointed at his son with trembling hands.
"What on earth did you do outside? You caused my Li family to suffer such a disaster!"
Li Langya covered his beaten face and wanted to cry but had no tears.
He didn't know what he had done to offend these people.
Seeing that Li Langya didn't answer for a long time, Li Rongxian's chest heaved violently, and he was ready to give this traitor a few more blows.
Lin Muren quickly caught him and persuaded him:
"Mr. Rong, don't get angry in a hurry. Let's ask first and clarify the matter. Logically speaking, Lang Ya's temperament is unlikely to offend anyone in the faction."
After hearing Lin Muren's words, Li Rongxian's expression softened a lot.
Li Langya looked sad and nodded repeatedly, echoing Lin Muren's words.
So, Li Rongxian and Lin Muren approached Li Hong, who had brought people there.
Although they have never met Li Hong, judging from his aura, he is by no means an ordinary faction member.
The two of them bowed to Li Hong very respectfully.
"May I ask this lord, what did my Li family do that caused me to bother you to lead people to surround my Li family?"
Li Hong received the order from Dugu Xingcheng. Although he usually looked down upon these ordinary people, the people the faction leader ordered to protect were obviously very important.
He did not dare to neglect and returned a salute to the two of them.
Li Rongxian and Lin Muren didn't expect the other party to be so polite, and they both looked a little flattered.
People in the faction were usually very arrogant. Li Rongxian had never seen anyone as polite as Li Hong, and his heart became increasingly heavy at the moment.
At this time, Li Hong responded.
"It's the order from the leader of the faction. He ordered me to bring people to protect your Li family!"
"Faction leader? What faction leader?"
Li Rongxian didn't react for a moment. It wasn't until Lin Muren on the side gave him a wink that he suddenly realized.
But then he looked at Li Hong in disbelief.
How could the leader of one of the four major factions in Martyr City, a figure who stood at the top of the city, pay attention to the Li family? And send people to protect them?
The people surrounding the Li family in front of them are indeed members of the faction. No one dares to fake this identity.
But the more this happened, the more Li Rongxian couldn't believe it.
Seeing that both of them were a little stunned, Li Hong remembered the instructions of his faction leader and quickly added:
"It was entrusted by a friend named Lin, the leader of the faction."
"My friend named Lin?"
Li Rongxian immediately looked at Lin Muren, but Lin Muren was as old as him and was obviously not the "little friend" the other party called him.
Lin Muren was also very confused. His surname was Lin, and he was obviously related to the Lin family. Could it be...
The two of them looked at each other at the same time, both thinking of Lin Yang.
Li Rongxian was okay. The reason why he thought of Lin Yang was because Lin Yang was Lin Muren's son. He was also very young and the title he called him was more appropriate.
Lin Muren, on the other hand, thought of his son's strength, and these days, he rarely saw Lin Yang's whereabouts.
But he couldn't figure out how his son could get in touch with the leader of the faction?
So he asked Li Hong: "May I ask this sir, is the little friend Lin you are talking about named Lin Yang?"
Li Hong shook his head. Dugu Xingcheng had not named him.
"I don't know the specifics, but just don't worry, send the master and me to protect you, everything will be fine."
Seeing that the other party did not explain, Lin Muren had no choice but to give up.
However, when they found out the reason, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't just mess with some big shot.
When he returned to Li Mansion, looking at Li Langya's already red and swollen face, Li Rongxian felt a little embarrassed and patted his shoulder lightly.
"Don't go out to cause trouble in the future, and stay at home for me."
Li Langya could only cover his face, wanting to cry but without tears.
at the same time.
Martyr City, South District.
In a very luxuriously decorated manor.
A graceful maid quickly walked through the corridor and opened the door of a house.
Inside, a charming character girl with red lips and white teeth was lying on a soft couch, flipping through a book.
Seeing the maid come in, Qin Zhi immediately asked happily:
"How? Can we find out the origins of that group of people?"
The maid bowed respectfully and then replied:
"Miss, I heard that it was you who ordered it, Deacon Wu. I have been investigating for the past few days, and today I finally got some news."
"Say it quickly!" Qin Zhi asked expectantly with a smile on his face.
"According to the investigation, that group of people came from Wanliu City in Ju State, their surname was Lin, and they were well-known local wealthy businessmen.
But more than a month ago, the Lin family was invaded by evil spirits, so they had to move out of Wanliu City and came to Martyr City.
Now they are staying in the Li Mansion on Dongping Street in the East District." The maid told all the information she found.
Qin Zhi nodded.
It turns out his surname is Lin...
When he thought of Lin Yang, Qin Zhi's eyes seemed to be on fire.
"Finally, I have found out your details, hum! So what if you are in the East District? Although it is not an area that I can cover in the South District, I think Uncle Dugu will not refuse my small request."
A smile appeared on Qin Zhi's face. When she thought about the person who bullied her, she finally failed in her hands, and she couldn't help but start imagining that scene.
But at this moment, the maidservant's words made Qin Zhi pause.
"But Miss, there is something very strange.
The Lin family can be said to be powerful in Wanliu City, but in Martyr City, apart from the Li family, there is no other connection to the refusal to investigate. And the Li family is just an ordinary merchant's home, with no power behind it.
But today, the East District faction is personally led by Deacon Li Hongli, and nearly a hundred people protected the Li family, which is really strange."
Upon hearing the maid's words, the smile on Qin Zhi's face quickly disappeared.
"Didn't find the reason?"
The maid shook her head.
Qin Zhi thought for a moment.
"Deacon Li is a close confidant of Uncle Dugu. He usually won't be sent out easily. If he can protect him personally, he must be assigned by Uncle Dugu."
She suddenly stood up from her slump.
"Quickly, prepare the carriage and horses. I'm going to find Uncle Dugu to ask for details."
