After Mad Dragon was released from prison, I shocked the world!

Li Zhongliang picked up his wine glass, and this time he gave Lin Li a special look.

Lin Li nodded slightly, indicating that there was no problem with the wine.

"A small gift."

Li Zhongliang reached out and patted Lin Li on the shoulder, saying with emotion, "Thirty years ago, your master saved my life. Thirty years later, you saved my life again."

"It seems that I, this old man, am destined to owe you two, master and disciple, a debt I will never repay in this lifetime."

"Mr. Li, you flatter me."

Lin Li smiled and said, "It's fate."

"Fate...yes, it's fate."

Li Zhongliang sighed and lowered his voice, saying, "Actually, I have a rough idea of ​​who's behind Xue Minghui."

Lin Li's heart skipped a beat: "Who is it?"

Li Zhongliang looked around to make sure no one could hear their conversation before slowly uttering three words: "Luo Dingqing."

Lin Li frowned, not expecting it to be this person again.

Li Zhongliang took a sip of wine and said thoughtfully, "You should know about him and your master, right?"

Lin Li nodded without saying anything more.

After the banquet, Li Zhongliang did not linger in Jiangcheng and immediately returned to the capital overnight.

After this incident, Jiangcheng is no longer safe.

At the hotel entrance, a row of black Hongqi sedans were ready to depart.

"Kobayashi, see me off."

Li Zhongliang specifically mentioned Lin Li's name.

Lin Li did not refuse and followed Old Li toward the specially made bulletproof Hongqi car.

Before getting on the bus, Yan Song came over.

"Mr. Lin."

He gave Lin Li a solemn military salute. "Thank you for what happened earlier."

"It's my duty."

Lin Li returned the greeting.

"but……"

Yan Song changed the subject, a fighting spirit igniting in his eyes, "I didn't get enough of a fight just now. I hope to have another chance to spar with Mr. Lin later."

Lin Li looked at this straightforward man and smiled, "I'm always ready."

The two exchanged a smile, a sense of mutual appreciation between them.

After getting into the vehicle, Li Zhongliang raised the partition to block out the noise from the driver's cab.

"Xiao Lin, the waters of Jiangcheng are too shallow; they're not suitable for you."

He looked at Lin Li and said earnestly, "Finish things here as soon as possible, then come to the capital. That's where you should be."

"Mr. Li, I can't leave right now."

Lin Li shook his head. "Not only is the work not finished, but I also have many people to settle down."

I understand your concerns.

Li Zhongliang sighed, "But you must remember, now that Luo Dingqing has made his move, he won't let it go."

"Xiao Li, he's already got his eye on you."

"It's good that you've set your sights on me."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Lin Li's eyes. "I was just about to settle accounts with him too."

"You... are just like your master."

Li Zhongliang smiled helplessly and handed his business card to Lin Li: "This is my personal number. If you encounter any problems in Jiangcheng that you can't solve, just call me."

Lin Li accepted the business card and carefully put it away: "Thank you, Mr. Li."

The convoy slowly drove away.

Lin Li stood by the roadside, watching the taillights of the Hongqi car disappear into the night, but he didn't feel much relief.

"Mr. Lin..."

Just then, a timid voice sounded from behind.

Lin Li turned around and saw Old Jin standing there with a fawning expression, holding two exquisite gift boxes in his hands.

"Um... thank you so much just now. If it weren't for your courageous words, I, Old Jin, would have..."

Old Jin wiped away tears again as he spoke, "This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, Mr. Lin."

"Also, I've booked a private room and would like to invite you to a simple meal so I can properly apologize..."

"Director Jin, I won't eat."

Lin Li didn't take the gift box, and said directly, "I was just telling the truth when I helped you earlier, so don't take it to heart."

"From now on, focus your energy on the right path and stop thinking about crooked ways."

After saying that, he didn't care about Lao Jin's reaction and turned to walk towards his car.

Old Jin stood there holding the gift box, watching Lin Li's back as he sighed and bowed deeply in the direction he left.

On the way back to Tan Palace No. 1, Lin Li drove very slowly, constantly alert to any movement around him.

But the ambush he had imagined never happened, even after the car entered the garage of Tan Palace No. 1.

"They didn't come?"

Lin Li turned off the engine and got out of the car, frowning: "It seems this old schemer is even more patient than I thought."

After thinking for a moment, he dialed Du Yu's number directly.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"We must be extra vigilant these next few days."

Lin Li said in a deep voice, "Starting tomorrow morning, the security level of the villa will be raised to the highest level. Du Yu, you will lead a team to take turns guarding the villa 24 hours a day. Auntie and Su Qian must not be left unattended when they go out."

"Also, have Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoqin hurry up and train the new recruits. Even if it's last-minute cramming, they have to make them shine!"

"yes!"

Although Du Yu didn't know what had happened, he sensed a hint of danger from Lin Li's serious tone and decided to personally make time to train the newcomers.

Early the next morning.

Just as Lin Li finished his set of punches, the doorbell rang at the villa.

Upon checking the surveillance footage, it turned out to be Dugu Yan and those Ye family disciples.

Lin Li frowned, but still opened the courtyard gate.

"Lin Li."

As soon as Dugu Yan entered the living room, she got straight to the point: "I'm here today to get an answer."

Lin Li sat on the sofa, not even bothering to have tea poured, and coldly asked, "What's the answer?"

"About Yaojia."

Dugu Yan stared at him, her tone somewhat urgent: "Are you willing to marry her or not?"

Lin Li scoffed, "I think I've made myself very clear: I have absolutely no interest in anyone from your Ye family."

"you!"

Dugu Yan was furious, but she forcibly suppressed her anger and said, "Lin Li, don't act rashly. The cultivation technique you practice, without the tempering of the Taiyin Body, will eventually cause you to die from being consumed by Yang Fire!"

"Back then, your master..."

"Shut up."

Lin Li coldly interrupted her, "My master is my master, and I am me. How I walk my own path is none of your business."

"As for Yang Fire... I have my own methods, you don't need to worry about it."

"What can you do? Rely on those ordinary women?"

Dugu Yan scoffed, "Those ordinary beauties can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause! Only Yao Jia, only the Taiyin Body, can completely rid you of this hidden danger, and even help you break through to a higher realm!"

"Lin Li, agreeing to marry Yao Jia will only bring you benefits, not harm!"

Lin Li didn't want to listen to this woman's nonsense anymore, so he directly ordered her to leave: "Please leave my house."

Dugu Yan never expected that Lin Li would be so stubborn.

A member of the Ye family standing nearby couldn't hold back any longer and angrily shouted, "Lin Li! Don't push your luck! Great-Grandma is doing you a favor by letting you marry Yao Jia!"

"Who do you think you are? You're just a..."

Snapped!

A crisp sound.

The man was sent flying and crashed heavily into the wall.

Lin Li withdrew his hand and looked at him coldly: "This is my home. If you dare to say another word, I'll cripple you."
