Chapter 73

Outside the building, Wang Kai stood by the car, with over a dozen cigarette butts scattered at his feet. He stubbed out the last cigarette, took out the cigarette pack, and looked at it, only to find it was empty.

At this moment, faint screams came from inside the building. He turned his head abruptly, looking up in the direction of the building, his brows furrowed tightly.

The screams soon alarmed the workers on the construction site, and discussions broke out. It wasn't until a clearly leading figure spoke that everyone quieted down.

Hearing someone call the police, Wang Kai became restless, fearing that Lu Li might be in trouble.

Even if nothing happened, if the police came, Lu Li would likely face problems.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone to report to Xue Weijun. Before he could dial, he suddenly noticed someone walking out from a corner. Recognizing the person's face, Wang Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lu, someone has called the police. We need to leave quickly," Wang Kai said, looking deeply at Lu Li with a meaningful expression.

Lu Li nodded and got into the car.

Wang Kai didn't hesitate, jumping into the Maybach and driving away quickly.

Once the Maybach was on the Third Ring Road, Wang Kai looked in the rearview mirror and asked, "Mr. Lu, should we go back to the hotel?"

"To the Xiao family's residence."

"The Xiao family? Alright."

The scenery outside the car window blurred as Lu Li leaned back in the seat, closing his eyes in a light sleep.

The nature of today's incident was too serious; the Xiao family must give an explanation. Not only that, but the issue must be resolved once and for all, thoroughly intimidating the Xiao family, at least subduing Jiang Rong and Xiao Qiang completely. Otherwise, they would continue to cause trouble.

Dealing with them was simple, but unfortunately, they were Xiao Junlan's nephews, and he had to be cautious.

Moreover, Lu Li didn't want to create a rift in the mother-son relationship over two dispensable people.

While deep in thought, he felt the car stop. He opened his eyes, looked out the window, and said as he opened the door, "I'll be back soon."

Getting out of the car, Lu Li glanced subtly behind him and saw the Nine Yin Ghost Baby floating in the air. Sensing his gaze, the Nine Yin Ghost Baby even made a face at him, like a mischievous child.

"Little guy, it's up to you now. After this is done, I'll send you away as soon as possible."

"Ya ya."

"But be careful, don't scare them to death."

Lu Li gave a warning and walked towards the alley entrance. Seeing the unfamiliar guards, he didn't stop, saying calmly, "Don't hurt them."

"Ya ya."

The Nine Yin Ghost Baby made two sounds and flashed past Lu Li. The light in the guardhouse went out immediately.

Then, the two guards trembled violently, their eyes gradually becoming vacant.

Lu Li walked through the guardhouse confidently, taking large strides. When he was three meters from the entrance of the Xiao family's courtyard, he suddenly sped up and kicked the door.

With a loud bang, the door bolt broke, and the door swung open.

"Xiao Qiang, get out here."

"..."

Standing at the door, he called out three times, his hands behind his back, a cold smile on his lips, waiting for the Xiao family to appear.

Swish.

The first to appear was Xiao Yuchuan's bodyguard, the guy Lu Li had conscripted. Recognizing Lu Li, his face turned strange, and his guard disappeared instantly.

This was the master's own nephew; he couldn't do anything to him.

"Xiao Li, why are you here?"

Xiao Yuchuan, wearing a nightgown, yawned and said somewhat discontentedly, "Can't it wait until tomorrow? Junjun has been taking care of your grandfather day and night. She just fell asleep. If you shout like this, you might wake her up."

Lu Li looked at Xiao Yuchuan and said calmly, "I'm not here for you or my mother. I'm here for your two sons."

Xiao Yuchuan was taken aback and sighed, "Xiao Li, you are cousins. The past is the past. Why can't you let it go?"

"Ha, I wish I could, but they hired someone to kill me. If I didn't have some skills, I might have died tonight."

"What?"

Xiao Yuchuan was shocked, turning to the middle-aged bodyguard and asking sternly, "What happened?"

"I don't know."

Hearing this, Xiao Yuchuan frowned and thought for a moment, then suggested, "Xiao Li, why don't we go inside and talk?"

It was midnight, but if the cousins' conflict became known, the Xiao family would lose face.

Lu Li nodded without hesitation.

Xiao Yuchuan didn't want the Xiao family to lose face, and Lu Li didn't want the Nine Yin Ghost Baby to be known by too many people. Both had different goals, but the same idea: the fewer people who knew, the better.

Entering the inner courtyard of the quadrangle, Xiao Yuchuan ordered, and the three members of the Xiao family, including Jiang Rong, appeared.

Seeing Lu Li, Xiao Qiang and his brother exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion. Wasn't Huang going to act tonight? Why did this guy come home?

"Xiao Qiang, Xiao Yuan, get out here."

"Dad." "Dad."

"Did you hire someone to kill Lu Li?" Xiao Yuchuan glared at the two, his tone severe. "Is this true?"

Xiao Qiang and his brother were startled, looking at Jiang Rong and denying it, "No, absolutely not. We've been at home recovering from our injuries and haven't gone out."

"Really?" Xiao Yuchuan asked coldly.

Seeing her sons' terrified faces, Jiang Rong suddenly stepped in front of them, shouting, "Xiao Yuchuan, what do you mean? You believe outsiders but not your own sons?"

Xiao Yuchuan pointed at Jiang Rong, his voice trembling, "You, you, you are ruining them."

"Ridiculous. Who would dare to bully them except you, this spineless traitor?"

Jiang Rong glared at Xiao Yuchuan, her eyes full of ridicule. Xiao Yuchuan flew into a rage and raised his hand to strike his wife.

At this moment, Lu Li suddenly chuckled, "It seems you're not planning to tell the truth?"

He had already guessed that Xiao Qiang and his brother wouldn't admit it and didn't expect them to confess. Seeing Xiao Yuchuan about to punish his wife, he thought Xiao Yuchuan wasn't all bad.

Anyway, he would have to act eventually. Letting them fight among themselves and expose their lies would be the most tragic for Xiao Yuchuan.

Of course, this wasn't because Lu Li was soft-hearted; he simply didn't like seeing such a situation. He preferred to see Xiao Yuchuan blindly protect them, making it easier to teach them a lesson.

"Lu Li, don't spout nonsense."

"Exactly, we may not be your match, but we won't let you slander us."

The Xiao brothers spoke up, their faces full of righteousness.

"Clap, clap."

Lu Li raised an eyebrow, clapping and laughing, "Your acting and expressions are truly impressive. I'm impressed." After clapping, his face turned cold, "Remember, there are gods above us. Since you won't admit it, let the gods decide."

"Huh?"

At his words, Xiao Yuchuan and the other four members of the Xiao family, plus the middle-aged bodyguard, were all stunned.

Is this guy crazy? Deciding by the gods? Who's he trying to fool?

But soon, their strange expressions turned to fear.

As if to confirm Lu Li's words, a cold wind suddenly blew around the courtyard, the lights flickered, and then went out.

At the same time, a pale, small-bodied but large-headed ghost baby appeared out of nowhere. For the sake of its image, the Nine Yin Ghost Baby had dressed up, with bloodshot eyes, exposed organs, and a tongue hanging down a meter.

"Mom!"

"Ahh!"

"What is this!"

Screams broke out, and the Xiao family was in chaos.
