Chapter 1099: Chapter 1100 The Crisis of the Li Family

”Lin Chen!”

Just as Lin Chen was daydreaming, a Bentley stopped by the roadside.

Li Yunfei and a stocky middle-aged man got out of the car.

Almost simultaneously, Xu Wei and Director Shao Lei also quickly approached.

Standing in front of Lin Chen, Li Yunfei looked him up and down.

”Are you okay? Did they force a confession out of you?” Li Yunfei asked anxiously.

The middle-aged man standing next to him said with an unfriendly expression to Shao Lei, ”Director Shao, I need an explanation for this incident.”

Shao Lei fiercely glared at Li Yunfei, realizing this guy had caused big trouble today.

This stocky middle-aged man was Zhao Xiong, a figure from the province, someone even the police chief couldn’t afford to offend.

”Brother Zhao, it’s all a misunderstanding; everything has been resolved now,” Shao Lei said awkwardly.

”Hmph, I knew Lin Chen was a good person, yet you were too reckless to arrest someone without distinguishing right from wrong. No, you must give me an explanation.” Li Yunfei said angrily.

Seeing Li Yunfei’s dominant demeanor, Lin Chen was stunned; she looked like a completely different person from the gentle and dainty attitude she had before.

”Miss Li, we brought Lin Chen back just to understand the situation, and the culprit’s appearance did indeed resemble his,” Xu Wei argued.

”Just because they look alike you think you can arrest someone recklessly and force a confession? If my friend experiences any discomfort recently, I won’t let you get away with it,” Li Yunfei said angrily.

Lin Chen watched this scene with a wry smile.

”Yunfei, everything has truly been resolved, and Officer Sister was very nice to me. She didn’t force a confession out of me; she took great care of me.” Lin Chen said, grinning slyly at Xu Wei.

Xu Wei’s face immediately reddened. She definitely understood the underlying meaning in Lin Chen’s words.

Zhao Xiong nodded, ”Xiaofei, since the misunderstanding is cleared up, that’s fine. I still have a meeting, so I’ll be leaving first.”

Li Yunfei nodded, ”Thank you, Uncle Zhao.”

Zhao Xiong glanced at Lin Chen once more. He knew Li Yunfei’s character well—even if her family was in difficulty, she wouldn’t ask for help, yet she called him of her own accord for this young man. It seemed this boy held a significant place in her heart.

”Xiaofei, I am a close friend of your father. Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Don’t stand on ceremony with me in the future. If anything happens, feel free to reach out,” Zhao Xiong sighed.

”Uncle Zhao, I understand. I was too anxious this time; otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered you,” Li Yunfei said, blushing.

Zhao Xiong walked up to Lin Chen and patted his shoulder, ”Young man, Yunfei is a good girl, you should cherish her well!”

Leaving Lin Chen bewildered, Zhao Xiong turned and got into the car.

”Let’s go, Lin Chen,” Li Yunfei snorted coldly, grabbing Lin Chen’s hand and turning to leave.

On the way, Lin Chen asked curiously, ”Yunfei, you know such influential people, why would a few thugs dare bully you?”

Li Yunfei’s face reddened, ”Uncle Zhao is a friend of my father; I wouldn’t trouble him unless absolutely necessary.”

Hearing Li Yunfei’s words, Lin Chen’s steps paused, and a warmth surged in his heart.

”By the way, come with me to the family; I need to bring dew to my grandfather,” Li Yunfei suggested.

”Okay,” Lin Chen nodded.

The two of them took a taxi and headed toward the suburb.

Getting out of the car, Lin Chen couldn’t help but be stunned.

The Li family was indeed extraordinary. Although this estate was on the outskirts of the city, it occupied a large area. The estate itself had mountains and water, boasting beautiful landscapes, and the buildings inside were grand and imposing.

”Yunfei, I didn’t expect your family to be so powerful,” Lin Chen couldn’t help but admire.

Li Yunfei gave a bitter smile, ”All this has nothing to do with me. If not for my grandfather, nothing could make me return here.”

Seeing Li Yunfei’s determined expression, Lin Chen knew there had to be a story behind this.

The Li family was one of the four great families of the city, with assets in the billions. The Li Group was also the leader in the province’s pharmaceutical industry.

Following Li Yunfei, Lin Chen entered the Li family estate. The periphery of the manor was strictly guarded with numerous bodyguards patrolling it. Unless someone was a martial arts master, ordinary people would find it difficult to enter the inner courtyard of the Li family.

The two walked into the Li family’s courtyard, and immediately Lin Chen’s brows creased, hearing faint sounds of crying from the ward.

Hearing the crying, Li Yunfei’s body trembled, and she quickly ran inside.

At this moment, the spacious ward was filled with heavyweight members of the Li family, all wearing extremely ugly expressions as they looked at the elder on the bed.

The elderly man on the bed was Li An, the Family Head of the Li family and the founder of the Li Group.

Although this elderly man once called the shots in the city, he now lay with a ghastly pale face, eyes closed, completely lifeless.

Beside the elder, several medical personnel were frantically busy.

However, after a period of treatment, a doctor removed his mask and sighed, ”Mr. Li had a sudden heart attack. Although we’ve tried our best, the situation is worsening; I’m afraid he won’t make it.”

”Boom!”

The doctor’s words were like a thunderbolt, stunning everyone in the room.

Standing in the lead, Li family’s second son, Li Mingtian, displayed a face of sorrow, though Lin Chen discerned that his sadness was feigned. Occasionally a flash of joy crossed his lips, clearly indicating his delight in this outcome.

Although Li Mingtian was internally ecstatic, he kept up appearances, grabbing the doctor’s lapels, ”Doctor Zhao, please, no matter what method you have to use, you must save my father.”

Doctor Zhao sighed, ”I’m sorry, we’ve done our best. Mr. Li’s time is limited, you should prepare for the worst.”

Hearing this, Li Mingtian exhaled deeply; this old man was finally dying.

With Li An’s death, he would become the next Family Head, and the family’s billion-dollar assets would fall into his hands.

Just then, the room filled with sobs, some genuine, but many were staged.

”Grandpa!” Li Yunfei threw herself onto Li An’s bed, unable to stop crying.

”Xiaofei!” Her aunt, Li Yueyue, also hugged her, and the two cried together.

Meanwhile, the second son Li Tianming and the third son Li Tianci exchanged glances, each showing a joyful smile.

Li An had three sons: the eldest, Li Tianfei; the second, Li Tianming; and the third, Li Tianci.

The eldest, Li Tianfei—or Li Yunfei’s father—was Li An’s favorite among his sons, and he always groomed Li Tianfei as the future Family Head.

Li Tianfei did not disappoint, managing the Li Group efficiently.

Unfortunately, a year ago, Li Tianfei suddenly fell ill, became a plant-like state, and remained bedridden ever since.

This incident dealt a severe blow to Li An. Although he had two other sons, they were unambitious from a young age, and the businesses they managed were on the verge of bankruptcy, barely supported by the group’s subsidies.

With Family Head Li An’s death and the eldest son Li Tianfei bedridden, the Li family would naturally be handed over to Li Mingtian.

The thought of controlling a billion-dollar fortune made Li Mingtian’s breathing grow rapid.
