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

"Lin Li!"

Dugu Yan was furious, "Don't go too far!"

"Who's going too far, me or you?"

Lin Li met her gaze without backing down. "Who is this person who dared to appear before me and force me to get married!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's face turned pale and then red.

"well……"

She took a few deep breaths, her tone softening, with a hint of pleading: "Since you're unwilling, then forget it. But Lin Li, I have a request."

"explain."

"We're heading back to Liancheng. But Yaojia is injured and can't withstand the long journey. Besides... I have a feeling the road won't be peaceful."

Dugu Yan looked at Lin Li, "I want to leave Yaojia in Jiangcheng to recover from her injuries for the time being, and I hope you can protect her."

Lin Li remained silent for a moment.

Although he disliked Dugu Yan and the Ye family's way of doing things, Ye Yaojia... was his master's descendant.

"……Can."

Lin Li nodded helplessly and emphasized, "As long as she doesn't cause me any trouble, I can guarantee her safety in Jiangcheng."

"Thanks."

Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, gave Lin Li a complicated look, and said, "Then I'll leave Yaojia in your care."

After saying that, she led the Ye family disciples to leave.

"Aren't you going to stay for a meal?"

Lin Li casually made a polite remark.

"No need."

Without turning her head, Dugu Yan said, "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

Watching the Ye family members hurriedly leave, Lin Li raised an eyebrow. Why was the old woman leaving in such a hurry? Did she sense something?

In the evening, in the largest private room of Liyue Restaurant.

The Lei family is leaving Jiangcheng, and Lin Li has specially prepared a banquet here to see them off.

"Lin Li, come here for a moment."

As soon as they got upstairs, Yan Chunyan pulled Lin Li to a corner of the corridor.

"What's wrong?"

"Stop grinning like that."

Yan Chunyan said sternly, "I don't care how many female confidantes you have, or how much you will achieve in the future. I only have one thing to say."

"Xiang Qing is my own flesh and blood. Since she's devoted to you... if you dare to do anything to betray her or cause her any suffering..."

A murderous glint flashed across Yan Chunyan's face as she coldly said, "Even if I can't beat you, I will never let you go easily!"

"Don't worry, senior sister."

Lin Li's smile vanished, and he said solemnly, "Xiang Qing is my woman. As long as I, Lin Li, live, I will never allow anyone to bully her."

"If I betray her, I'll cripple myself without my senior sister even lifting a finger!"

Yan Chunyan stared at Lin Li for a long time until she was sure there was no falsehood in his eyes, then she nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, remember what you said."

She reached out and straightened Lin Li's collar, her tone softening, "When you have time, bring Xiang Qing to visit me more often."

"must."

The atmosphere at the dinner was very lively.

Lei Xiangping was a hearty and straightforward man. After a few drinks, he pulled Lin Li aside and started calling him brother.

"Brother-in-law! Come, let me introduce you!"

He pointed to a table behind him, a group of men sitting upright with resolute eyes.

"These are all soldiers I used to lead, all of them were great! It's a pity they retired for various reasons, some were injured, some had family difficulties..."

Lei Xiangping sighed, "I know you're short-handed right now, so I called them all over."

"Don't worry, although they are somewhat wounded, they will definitely charge into battle for you at your command!"

The group of men stood up in unison and saluted Lin Li.

"Brothers, please have a seat!"

Looking at these tough, resolute men, Lin Li raised his glass and declared loudly, "Since they are the elder brother's brothers, then they are my brothers, Lin Li's brothers!"

"As long as you don't mind that my temple is small, we can all eat meat and drink wine together from now on!"

"As for the compensation..."

Lin Li thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I promise that everyone's salary will be double the highest industry standard!"

"In short, as long as you follow me, Lin Li, I will never let anyone bleed or shed tears!"

"good!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lin!"

"I am willing to serve Mr. Lin!"

Upon hearing Lin Li's words, the group of veterans all raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

After the meal, Lin Li arranged for someone to take the Lei family to the airport.

He then drove himself to the First Municipal Hospital.

Gu Xiaomeng is still recovering in the hospital, and Ye Yaojia has also been left here by Dugu Yan.

As soon as Lin Li reached the door of the ward, he heard a suppressed sob coming from inside.

His heart skipped a beat, and he pushed open the door.

Ye Yaojia was sitting on the bed in a hospital gown, holding her phone, crying and trembling all over.

Gu Xiaomeng anxiously handed her tissues, and when she saw Lin Li come in, she quickly used sign language to explain: She got this after answering a phone call.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Li strode to the bedside, frowning as he asked, "What happened?"

Ye Yaojia suddenly reached out and grabbed him, crying out, "Lin Li... save Great-Grandma... they... they've been ambushed! They're on their way back to Liancheng... the phone..."

Not again?!

Lin Li frowned.

Dugu Yan and the others had only left a short time ago, so how could they have been ambushed?

Moreover, with Dugu Yan's strength and the many disciples of the Ye family, ordinary forces simply cannot touch them.

unless……

Faceless!

Lin Li understood.

I'm afraid Wumian can't do anything to me and Old Man Li, so he turned his attention to the Ye family, who were just about to leave Jiangcheng and were severely weakened!

He wants to take the heads of the Ye family to vent his anger!

"Don't cry!"

Lin Li interrupted Ye Yaojia's crying, "Tell me, where are they?"

Ye Yaojia sobbed, "Just... just now... Great-Grandma told me not to go... and then there was no sound... The location... the location is near that gas station in the north of the city..."

Compared to other roads leading out of the city, the area in the north is considered a relatively remote section.

"I see."

Lin Li took Ye Yaojia's phone and turned to leave.

"Take me with you! I want to go too!"

Ye Yaojia struggled to get out of bed.

"What are you going there for? To die?"

Lin Li shoved her back onto the bed and said coldly, "In your current physical condition, you'll only be a burden if you go. Stay here obediently!"

After saying that, he looked at Gu Xiaomeng and said, "Keep an eye on her and don't let her run around."

Gu Xiaomeng nodded heavily.

Lin Li rushed out of the ward and dialed Fang Yong's number.

"Dayong! Ride your motorcycle to the hospital entrance and pick me up right now! Bring your gear! We're going to rescue someone!"

"Yes, Master!"

Boom boom boom—

Fang Yong's modified heavy motorcycle carried Lin Li as they sped along the highway.

The speedometer needle had already pointed to 180, and the scenery on both sides had turned into blurry streaks of light.

"Faster!"

Lin Li sat in the back seat, his face extremely gloomy.

If it really is a case of no one taking action, then the Ye family's current situation is definitely more dire than hopeless.

Dugu Yan was already seriously injured, and those Ye family disciples were no different from lambs to the slaughter in front of Wumian.
