Urban Martial Saint

These people obviously didn’t know that Wei Yongnan had received orders from Feng Guoxing to execute a task. And Feng Guoxing directly ordered him over the phone to follow Ye Qing’s orders throughout.

For a soldier, the one giving orders is the superior. Wei Yongnan was a competent soldier, so he regarded Ye Qing as his superior, reported through a military salute, and everything was done as if reporting to a leader.

Ye Qing also returned the salute to Wei Yongnan. He had actually informed Wei Yongnan before coming to the Li Family, asking him to lead the troops to start the operation. However, the deployment needed by Wei Yongnan and his team took a little more time. Fortunately, just when the situation was about to get out of control, Wei Yongnan managed to bring the team over and control the scene.

Ye Qing inquired about the specific situation later and learned that not only were the two casinos controlled, but more importantly, the goods in the third villa were also controlled. Inside, there were not only many drugs but also some firearms, which matched exactly what the fat man said.

With so many illegal goods, it’s enough to sentence many people to heavy penalties, so this mission was very successful.

Now that the evidence had been gathered, the next step was to arrest people. Ye Qing instructed Wei Yongnan to arrest all those in the Li Family who were close to Li Changyuan and bring them back for interrogation. Everyone involved in this matter had to be judged. As for Li Changshan and others, they were not involved in Li Changyuan’s matters, so it had nothing to do with them.

Ao Yangrong and others were originally waiting to see the drama of a forced palace takeover, but unexpectedly, Li Changshan wasn’t deposed; instead, Li Changyuan and Li Changfeng lost their lives. And more importantly, so many soldiers came to completely raid Li Changyuan’s lair. In this way, ten out of nine Li Changyuan’s people were going to go to jail, and his master Northern Martial Zen’s arrangements in the Liaodong Province were completely ruined. Without Li Changyuan, it was almost impossible for Northern Martial Zen to enter Liaodong Province again.

In fact, after such an incident, Northern Martial Zen wouldn’t dare to set foot in Liaodong Province for a while. He wasn’t afraid of the Li Family, but he was afraid of the army. After all, the goods on Li Changyuan’s side were all provided by Northern Martial Zen.

While those soldiers were arresting people, Ao Yangrong and the others quietly slipped away. They knew that staying here would only bring humiliation, or worse, they might get implicated in something.

After more than two hours of turmoil, eighty percent of the Li Family had been arrested, leaving either those who usually didn’t care about matters or those belonging to Li Changshan’s lineage. Although Li Changshan had regained control of the Li Family, the family was no longer as glorious as before, completely becoming an empty shell.

After this incident, Li Changshan seemed to have gone through a big battle, looking unspeakably fatigued.

Seeing Li Changshan like this, Ye Qing couldn’t help but sigh. Although Li Changshan had won this time, he might not be happy. Once so glorious, the Li Family had become like this; how could he accept it?

”Uncle Master, you don’t need to worry.” Ye Qing said, ”I’ve already informed the authorities above. If the crimes committed aren’t too serious, they can still be released. I estimate it’s just those main criminals who will be heavily sentenced, and others can come back!”

”That’s great!” Li Changshan’s face finally showed a trace of joy. He looked at Ye Qing and said, ”Ye Qing, this time, it’s all thanks to you. Without you, the legacy my brother left would have been taken away!”

Li Changshan was filled with emotions as he spoke. Ye Qing, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. For some reason, after Li Changshan killed the brothers Li Changfeng and Li Changyuan, he became a bit wary of Li Changshan.

”After this incident, Northern Martial Zen certainly won’t dare to enter Liaodong Province for a while.” Ye Qing said, ”Uncle Master, as long as you don’t give away the family’s power again, the Li Family can surely stand firm in the North.”

”Hopefully!” Li Changshan nodded slowly. Looking at Ye Qing, he said, ”By the way, you said earlier you wanted to take Bing’en to the South for treatment. I think it’s a bit unsuitable. We’ve consulted many people about Bing’en’s condition, and they all say his illness is beyond cure. Even if he goes to the South, it would just be a wasted trip. Besides, Bing’en has grown up in the Li Family since he was little and has never been far away. Given his current condition, he’s really not suited for traveling to the South.”

Ye Qing furrowed his brow slightly. He hadn’t expected Li Changshan to not want Li Bing’en to go to the South at this moment. It should be noted that Li Changshan had just agreed to it. His contradictory actions made Ye Qing more dissatisfied with him.

”Uncle Master, no matter what, as long as there’s a glimmer of hope, we should try it, shouldn’t we?” Ye Qing said, ”The fact that Bing’en could achieve such high martial arts suggests he’s not beyond saving. The South has well-developed medical facilities and skilled doctors. Maybe going there, we’ll find a way to cure his illness. Bing’en is Master’s only heir; I can’t just watch him remain foolish all his life!”

Seeing Ye Qing insist so much, a barely noticeable chill flickered in Li Changshan’s eyes. After a long silence, he slowly nodded and said, ”You’re right, if there’s even a sliver of hope, we must try. But Bing’en is seriously injured and probably needs to recuperate for a couple of days. Once he’s healed, then head South. Just as well, it’s your first time at the Li Family; stay here for a while, since you’re also a descendant of our Li Family.”

”Thank you, Uncle Master, for your kindness, but I have many matters in the South, and I really can’t spare the time.” Ye Qing helplessly said, ”As for Bing’en’s condition, don’t worry. I still have a Ziyu Chenxiang Pill here; let him take one, and he can recover quickly. How about this: we’ll fly South tomorrow, and once Bing’en’s condition improves, I’ll accompany him back for a visit; what do you think?”

”Leaving tomorrow?” Li Changshan slightly frowned and asked, ”Is it that urgent?”

”There are indeed important matters in Shenchuan City, and I really can’t spare any time.” Ye Qing said.

Li Changshan thought for a moment, slowly nodded, and said, ”If that’s the case, then fine. Stay at the Li Family tonight, and tomorrow I’ll personally take you to the airport!”

Ye Qing nodded and said, ”Thank you, Uncle Master!”

Li Changshan smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Li Bing’en lying beside him, and asked, ”By the way, Bing’en, how did you achieve such high martial arts? I’ve never seen you practicing martial arts, and your martial arts are really strong!”

Li Bing’en still had that silly, goofy look, completely oblivious to what Li Changshan was talking about, just laughing foolishly there.

Ye Qing was also very curious inside, not knowing how Li Bing’en had learned his martial arts. But looking at Li Bing’en like this, it seemed troublesome to communicate with him, and he wasn’t sure if he could get a result by asking.

”Master, let me ask.” Li Bingyu walked over, took a candy from the table, and smiled, ”Bing’en, come, let’s play a game, shall we?”

”Play a game, yay yay...” Li Bing’en immediately clapped his hands, looking delighted. He really is just like a fool.

Ye Qing sighed; he really couldn’t understand how a fool could practice martial arts to such a profound level. Moreover, Li Changshan didn’t even know that Li Bing’en had practiced martial arts. How did he acquire them? Could it really be something he brought from the womb?

”Bing’en, this game is called ’I ask, you answer,’” Li Bingyu said enticingly, holding the candy. ”I’ll ask you a question, and you need to answer honestly. If you answer correctly, you get a candy. If you answer wrong, no candy. Do you understand?”

Li Bing’en blinked, looked at the candy in Li Bingyu’s hand, swallowed, and nodded vigorously, appearing to understand what Li Bingyu meant.

Seeing Li Bing’en this way, Li Changshan and Ye Qing straightened up immediately. It seemed like Li Bingyu might be able to find out the origins of Li Bing’en’s martial arts from him.

”Bing’en, how did you learn martial arts?” Li Bingyu asked.

”Lear.... learned, learned from someone...” Li Bing’en mumbled as he stared at the candy in Li Bingyu’s hand.

”Learned from someone?” Li Bingyu glanced at Li Changshan, who was also full of surprise and wonder, ”From whom?”

Li Bing’en didn’t answer his question, as in his view, only answering Li Bingyu’s questions would earn him candy.

”From whom?” Li Bingyu repeated Li Changshan’s question.

”An... an old man...” Li Bing’en paused as if recalling, then continued, ”And a girl...”

”An old man and a girl?” Ye Qing and Li Changshan exchanged glances. Judging by Li Changshan’s look, he clearly didn’t know what was going on either.

”Are they from our Li Family?” Li Bingyu continued to ask.

”I don’t know.” Li Bing’en looked at the candy in Li Bingyu’s hand, ”I’ve... I’ve answered two questions already, don’t I get a candy?”

That was spoken with an intelligence level still at the level of a five-year-old, indeed.

”Answer one more question, and you’ll get your candy,” Li Bingyu smiled, ”Do you remember what these two looked like?”

”Ah?” Li Bing’en was stunned for a moment and then fell into contemplation. With his intelligence, describing people’s appearance was a very challenging task for him.

Ye Qing and Li Changshan watched Li Bing’en nervously; this question related to how exactly his martial arts came to be, and both wanted to know Li Bing’en’s answer.

After thinking for a long while, Li Bing’en said, ”I... I only remember the girl couldn’t see things...”

”Couldn’t see things?” Ye Qing exclaimed, asking urgently, ”Did the two of them appear at the same time?”

Li Bing’en did not answer Ye Qing’s question, only kept looking at the candy in Li Bingyu’s hand.

”Did they come looking for you together?” Li Bingyu reiterated Ye Qing’s question.

Li Changshan glanced at Ye Qing, not knowing why he asked that. However, Ye Qing was somewhat excited inside because he had already vaguely guessed who those two people might be.
