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

"I think you're the one who killed Great-Grandma!"

The long-haired man stared intently at Lin Li, his eyes filled with venom: "You want to get close to the Ye family so you can find an opportunity to steal Great-Grandma's cultivation technique!"

Snapped!

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Li slapped him across the face.

"Watch your mouth."

He looked coldly at the long-haired man: "There's a price to pay for making baseless accusations. What kind of relationship I have with Dugu Yan is none of your business, you piece of trash!"

"you……"

Ye Lingtian covered his face, his eyes filled with humiliation and resentment.

He's the eldest grandson of the Ye family, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, always treated with deference and respect wherever he goes. Yet today he was publicly humiliated twice!

"Okay, then you are the person your aunt is looking for."

The old man forcibly suppressed his shock and anger, and said in a deep voice, "But this is a matter for the Ye family! A country has its laws, and a family has its rules!"

"My aunt died in Jiangcheng, and I'm taking both of them back to Liancheng for trial. This is a family matter for the Ye family! It's none of your business!"

As long as this matter is classified as a family affair, Lin Li, as an outsider, cannot forcefully interfere.

"Housework?"

Lin Li scoffed, saying disdainfully, "Old man, are you out of your mind?"

"This is Jiangcheng! This is my territory!"

He tapped his foot twice on the floor and declared with an air of dominance, "On my turf, my word is law!"

"You come to my territory, beat up the people I'm trying to protect, and you still want to talk to me about your damn family rules?"

"Wow, what a magnificent sight!"

The young woman named Ye Min couldn't help but interject again, saying sarcastically, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were the local tyrant of Jiangcheng."

"What? Just because Great-Grandpa's disciples can ignore all the major families? Let me tell you, Great-Grandma is no longer here!"

Lin Li's eyes turned cold, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

The next second, he appeared in front of Ye Min, grabbed her neck with one hand, and lifted her off the ground.

"Well--"

Ye Min kicked her legs wildly, glaring at Lin Li with a ferocious expression.

"If you say another word, I'll cut out your tongue and feed it to the dogs."

Lin Li stared into her eyes, his voice calm: "Would you like to give it a try?"

That madman!

Ye Min's eyes bulged out, and she could only shake her head desperately, daring not to utter another word: "Waaah...waaah..."

"snort!"

Lin Li flung his hand and threw the person to the ground.

Ye Min clutched her neck and coughed violently, scrambling to hide behind the old man, not daring to interrupt again.

"Listen up, all of you."

Lin Li looked around and finally stared at the old man, saying, "Put away your arrogant airs as a noble family and stop showing off your superiority in front of me."

"Ye Yaojia, Ye Lingfeng, get back to bed! Anyone who tries to stop me, I'll break their legs!"

"Lin Li..."

Ye Yaojia hadn't recovered from the fact that Dugu Yan was dead, and stared blankly at Lin Li.

Gu Xiaomeng quickly got out of bed and carefully helped her onto the bed.

The Ye family members watched this scene with ashen faces and their fists clenched so tightly they cracked, yet none of them dared to take a step forward.

This Lin Li is simply a madman who is impervious to both soft and hard tactics and possesses terrifying strength!

There's no point in reasoning with this kind of person, and you can't beat them in a fight, so you can only swallow your anger.

"Um, Lin Li..."

Ye Lingfeng didn't return to the ward. After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "That Faceless One, he..."

Lin Li interrupted him before he could finish, saying, "Dead."

"Dead?"

The Ye family was also shocked to hear this news.

Even Dugu Yan fell into Wumian's hands, but this kid killed someone?

"Where's the body?"

The old man asked instinctively.

"Feed the dog."

"Feed...feed the dog?!"

The Ye family members' expressions changed; they didn't believe Lin Li would lie about this!

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng's tears flowed again, and he knelt down once more: "Thank you for avenging Great-Grandma! Thank you for wiping the shame from the Ye family!"

Don't give me that.

Lin Li sidestepped his deep bow and said coldly, "I killed him because he offended me and tried to harm the people around me."

"It has nothing to do with your Ye family, and it's not about avenging you."

……

The tense atmosphere in the ward calmed down after the Ye family members left.

"Get out of here, all of you, don't get in my way."

Lin Li cursed under his breath and slammed the door to the ward, cutting off the prying eyes from those in the corridor.

Ye Yaojia sat on the bed, covering her face with her hands, tears streaming down her face through her fingers.

Gu Xiaomeng pulled her into her arms and gently patted her back with one hand.

"Lin Li..."

Ye Yaojia raised her tear-streaked face, her voice hoarse, and asked again, unwilling to give up, "Is Great-Grandma really... really gone?"

She still refused to believe it, thinking it might be a scheme by her great-grandmother and Lin Li, perhaps to cover up their true intentions.

Looking at her red and swollen eyes, Lin Li felt a strange tightness in his chest.

"They're really gone."

He walked over and handed Ye Yaojia a tissue, his tone unusually gentle: "Don't think about these things anymore, getting better is the most important thing."

Ye Yaojia cried even harder, huddled in Gu Xiaomeng's arms, trembling.

By evening, Gu Xiaomeng, still recovering from her injuries, had fallen asleep after being comforted by Lin Li.

Ye Yaojia was also exhausted from crying. She curled up in the quilt, her breathing was steady, but she would occasionally sob in her sleep.

"I really owe you guys a debt."

Lin Li sat on the chair between the two hospital beds, sighed helplessly, and reached out to tuck the blanket around Ye Yaojia.

When his fingertips touched her cold cheek, the girl subconsciously rubbed against his palm and mumbled "Great-Grandma" indistinctly.

Lin Li's hand stiffened for a moment, but in the end he didn't pull it back, and gently patted the quilt.

That night, he stayed by his side in the ward.

The next morning, Lin Li was awakened by a soft knock on the door. He glanced at the two women who were still fast asleep and quietly opened the door.

Standing outside the door were Zhang Xiaotian and Zhang Xiaoqin, a brother and sister.

The two men were carrying insulated containers and several large bags filled with steaming hot breakfasts, clearly having arrived early in the morning.

"Master! Good morning!"

Zhang Xiaotian grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and said in a low voice, "We've brought you breakfast, and also some for Miss Gu and Miss Ye."

"Come in, but keep your voice down."

Lin Li stepped aside to let them in.

Zhang Xiaoqin quickly set the breakfast on the table, then took a thick envelope out of her pocket and handed it to Lin Li somewhat awkwardly.

"Master, this is the salary that General Manager Lin gave us yesterday."

She lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, "But we both got an extra ten thousand yuan... We didn't do anything big, we shouldn't have taken this extra money."
