Chapter 176: Cooperation

Third Brother smiled at me and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking!"

Regarding this sudden remark from Third Brother, I had a bad premonition in my heart. I didn't know what exactly Third Brother was asking about—was it just about Sister Shuang saving me, or something else? Moreover, I suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the expression Third Brother had just shown.

However, I figured it was probably just because there had been too many things happening these past two days, and Third Brother was feeling stressed.

At the Liu residence, Liu Zhenxing’s face was gloomy. A subordinate beside him said with unwillingness, "Master, what should we do now? Should we go and capture Yang Yun again?"

"Are you looking for death? If you want to die, don't drag me into it! Capturing Yang Yun now—isn't that making it obvious that I want to go against Bai Yueshuang?" Liu Zhenxing cursed at the subordinate in a rage.

"Are we just going to let Yang Yun go so easily? Even if Yang Yun didn't do it, it at least has something to do with him. Otherwise, why would Young Master Liu have been killed for no reason?"

"You think I don't want to capture him? But we truly can't right now. Besides, I, Liu Zhenxing, am not a fool; I certainly won't be used as a pawn by others!"

Just then, someone rushed in hurriedly. Seeing this person, Liu Zhenxing immediately asked, "How is it? Have you investigated the matter clearly?"

The person who arrived was panting and said to Liu Zhenxing, "It’s all been investigated. The incident that day was indeed related to the Li family. Previously, Young Master Liu wanted to seek revenge on Yang Yun and had approached Wang Peng’s subordinates, but since Yang Yun and his group are trained in Wu Gong, they couldn't take him down. Then, Li Hong of the Li family found Young Master Liu and provided him with a few experts. Afterward, Young Master Liu died, and those Li family experts also disappeared. If nothing unexpected happened, they are likely dead as well!"

Hearing this, Liu Zhenxing frowned: "What? Those people are dead too? If this really was the Li family's doing, then this Li Hong is truly ruthless and thorough. This kind of person is really not to be trifled with!"

"Master, the Li family has many experts now, and I’ve heard they have dealings with people from the R Country. If we go head-to-head with the Li family now, we will suffer a great loss!"

Liu Zhenxing paced back and forth, carefully considering a strategy, and then said, "Don't make a move for now. Send people to probe the situation. I want to see what this is really all about. If it really was the Li family, although our Liu family is only a second-rate family, we aren't something anyone can just pinch at will. Besides, the Li family is being watched from all sides now; they certainly wouldn't dare to act as openly as before!"

Hearing Liu Zhenxing’s words, everyone nodded quickly and hurried out to scout for information.

About half an hour later, Liu Zhenxing received news again, and this news left him completely shaken.

Because they had obtained information about the three experts the Li family had sent to Liu Hong. Two of them were already dead, and the third was currently on the verge of death. It was clear that he had been hiding and dodging these past few days before being found by the Liu family. Liu Zhenxing rushed to his private clinic, looked at the person lying on the bed, and roared instantly: "Are you here to show me a dead man?"

"Master, please don't be angry, he still has breath, he still has breath!" the subordinates said, terrified.

Liu Zhenxing looked at the man on the bed; he was clearly at the end of his rope, just barely hanging on to a single breath. But that was enough. Liu Zhenxing held a photo in front of the man on the bed and said to him: "I will take care of your family, as long as you tell me the circumstances of my son's death?"

Seeing the photo in Liu Zhenxing’s hand, the man on the bed became agitated and nodded quickly. Liu Zhenxing knew the other party couldn't speak, so he asked: "I know you can't talk now. You just need to nod or shake your head. Answer whatever I ask!"

The man nodded weakly. Seeing this, Liu Zhenxing asked: "Was my son's death that day the work of the Li family?"

The man nodded. Seeing this with his own eyes, Liu Zhenxing was filled with immense rage. He had almost been used by the Li family and played for a fool.

Immediately after, Liu Zhenxing asked again: "Was it that guy Li Hong who did it?"

The man nodded again. Then Liu Zhenxing asked: "Last question, was my son killed by the three of you?"

The man didn't answer this time but froze. It seemed he really didn't want to answer this question, because he wasn't a fool; he knew that if he answered, Liu Zhenxing might not let the three of them go. Even though they were all as good as dead, their families would likely be implicated!

Seeing the man's reaction, Liu Zhenxing roughly knew the answer. He said to the man: "Alright, I know. You don't need to worry, I am not the kind of person the Li family is. But as for asking me to take care of your family, I’m sorry. My son died at your hands; even if it wasn't your original intention, you did it after all, so forgive me for not being able to do that!"

Hearing Liu Zhenxing’s words, the man’s expression was pained, but there was also a hint of relief. The machine beside them suddenly started beeping. The nurse nearby saw this and quickly said: "His blood pressure and vital signs have disappeared!"

Seeing this, Liu Zhenxing said to the people beside him: "Let his family come to collect his body!"

Then Liu Zhenxing walked out of the hospital, looked at the Li family’s company not far away, and muttered with hatred in his eyes: "Li family, do you really think my Liu family is that easy to pinch? Since you dared to do it, I won't let you have an easy time either!"

"Master, are we really going to make a move against the Li family? Although the Li family is being watched by many, no one truly dares to move against them. If we rashly deal with the Li family, we will likely become cannon fodder!" the subordinate beside him pleaded bitterly.

Liu Zhenxing snorted coldly and said: "Who said there is no one who dares to move against the Li family? Yang Yun dares!"

"Yang Yun is just someone with no background or family history; he doesn't have so many burdens behind him. To put it bluntly, he is a newborn calf that isn't afraid of the tiger. But Master is different; Master has the entire Liu family. Once we make a move, the entire Liu family will suffer along with us!"

"Oh? Listening to you, does everything in the Liu family have to be decided by you?" Liu Zhenxing’s face turned livid, and his eyes revealed a fierce light. It was clear he was very dissatisfied with the person beside him.

"This subordinate wouldn't dare, I am also thinking for the Liu family!" Liu Zhenxing’s subordinate was so scared that he knelt directly on the ground. He saw the fierce light in Liu Zhenxing’s eyes and knew his words had been rash, so he quickly knelt to beg for mercy. ===== CHAPTER 177 =====
