Chapter 420: Li Family Turmoil (Part 5)
"I say, Aunt, at a time like this, you should stop being stubborn."
Li Ziming said triumphantly: "I know, as the Empress, you feel it's very shameful to lose to us, but the fact is just that. We have already blocked all your paths of retreat, so just obediently accept your fate."
Li Shizheng said: "Adopted niece, don't worry, I will preserve your final shred of dignity. In a moment, we will go out to eat together; as long as you announce your abdication at the dinner table, then I can guarantee what I promised before: to ensure you live in luxury."
Wu Qingkui sneered: "I did underestimate you all. I have lost, but as I also said, it is still too early to conclude that you have won."
"Oh? Since that is the case, tell us, what other methods do you have?"
Han Bailing mocked.
Wu Qingkui glanced at Luo Lin and countered: "Do you really think that Gao He can take down Chen Che?"
"Pfft!"
Han Chengfang, who was behind Han Bailing, couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I say, Empress, I know Chen Che is your favorite disciple, but you don't need to be blindly trusting. Chen Che is very powerful, but those going to meet Chen Che are not just Gao He alone; there are also many soldiers from the Law Enforcement Division."
"So many guns are all True Qi Weapons. Even if Chen Che's Martial Dao Cultivation is powerful, he is still mortal flesh and blood. If he takes a bullet, he will still bleed."
Zhou Xiangyun said: "I thought the Empress could say something unexpected, but I didn't expect you to pin your hopes on Chen Che... Instead of pinning your hopes on Chen Che, you might as well say some nice words and beg us."
Li Shizheng laughed: "Adopted niece, I know you are unwilling, but don't worry. Today, I will definitely let you see Chen Che's head, and as for those supporters of yours, I will also take their lives to make you give up completely."
Wu Qingkui's phoenix eyes became sharp: "You dare!"
Li Shizheng laughed disdainfully: "Alright, then wait for Gao He to return in a moment, and you'll see if I dare or not."
At this moment, Luo Lin glanced at her communicator and said: "Gao He is back."
As soon as the words fell, Gao He had already walked into the Li Family Courtyard and arrived outside the study.
The door opened, and Gao He's figure appeared in the doorway; by his side, he was dragging Chen Che, who was covered in rags.
"Chen Che?!"
Seeing this scene, Wu Qingkui's brows furrowed, and the dignity and composure she had maintained crumbled at this moment. She jumped up from her chair and was about to pounce toward Chen Che.
Luo Lin took a step forward and blocked Wu Qingkui with a face full of vigilance.
"Hahahaha!!!"
Li Shizheng laughed wildly: "Adopted niece, look, this is the disciple you pinned your hopes on! He came to save you! Hahahaha..."
Zhou Xiangyun snorted indignantly: "You brat, so you have a day like this too! Everything you ate from me before, you will spit it back out twofold!"
Han Bailing splashed tea onto Chen Che's face with a splash: "Kid, keep being arrogant!? You killed my cousin and my granddaughter; today you must pay with blood!"
"Bastard!"
Han Chengfang screamed, rushed out, grabbed Chen Che's hair, pushed him to the ground, and punched and kicked him: "My sister Han Qingfang died because of you, I want you to pay with your life! Bastard, go to hell!"
"Enough!"
Seeing Chen Che being humiliated, Wu Qingkui shouted angrily. However, not only did Han Chengfang not stop, but she turned back and glared provocatively, then pulled a knife from her bosom.
"I said, I want him to pay with his life!"
Han Chengfang held the knife with both hands, raised it high, and was about to stab down.
"Niece Han Chengfang, stay calm."
Zhou Xiangyun spoke up: "That little knife of yours can't kill him, and letting him die like this is too easy for him."
"Old Zhou is right." Li Shizheng stood up, deliberately passing by Wu Qingkui, and cast a provocative look: "This kid caused us so much misery, of course we have to treat him well."
Wu Qingkui kept a straight face and said word by word: "Whoever dares to touch him, I will kill them!"
"Hahahaha... look, everyone look! Our Empress is angry, truly angry!"
Li Shizheng laughed while clutching his stomach: "I thought our Empress wouldn't get angry, but I didn't expect a mere Chen Che to make her break her composure. It seems Chen Che really is your good disciple."
Li Ziming's gaze wandered between Chen Che and Wu Qingkui, and he grinned: "To be able to make my aunt so worried, perhaps... he's not just a disciple, right, Aunt?"
Wu Qingkui kept a cold face and said nothing.
"So the Empress also likes pretty boys, but it doesn't matter, it's human nature."
Li Shizheng's smile was evil: "Then why don't you two master and disciple perform the art of the bedchamber here for us, so we can learn a thing or two."
"Hahahaha..."
Everyone burst into loud laughter.
Wu Qingkui took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and said: "Release him, and I can agree to your demands."
"Yo, it seems the Empress really thinks highly of this kid." Han Bailing stood up, took a True Qi Pistol from Luo Lin's hand, and walked toward Chen Che: "But there's no way, he and I have a blood feud, and I can't sleep if he doesn't die."
Han Bailing held the gun and smashed the muzzle against Chen Che's head again and again: "Kid, how about this, you kneel and kowtow to me one hundred times, and I might consider letting you go... how about it?"
Chen Che sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands tied behind his back, but the Limiter binding his wrists had no effect at all; he could break it with a slight exertion of force.
He looked up at Han Bailing, then at the others, and finally landed on Luo Lin: "It's been so long, I thought you all might have something different about you, but it seems you are still as stupid as ever."
"I will give you one chance: stop what you are doing, and I can spare your lives," Chen Che said slowly.
Han Bailing and the others looked at each other, then let out mocking laughter.
"Kid, are you crazy?! Don't you see the situation clearly? You're in this state yourself, yet you're still here talking big!"
"I think this kid is just crazy. He was used to being arrogant and domineering, and now that he's fallen, he can't accept it for a moment and has gone straight mad!"
"Hahahaha, Chen Che, I really admire your attitude, but I advise you to kneel and beg for mercy quickly. The Chen Family is gone; for a lone ghost like you to fight our three families here has no meaning."
"That's right, if you act a bit more sensible, we might consider giving you a quick death. But I remember, when it comes to knowing the times, your grandfather was better than you. When the Chen Family was destroyed, he didn't hesitate to kneel and beg for mercy, crawling through my crotch just to save the younger generation of the Chen Family."
"Of course, your grandfather kowtowed and crawled through the crotch, but we still didn't spare the Chen Family members... hahahaha..."
"However, today, if you also beg us like your grandfather did back then, we might consider letting you live, only you won't be able to be a human anymore; go to the pigsty and be a pig."
"Hahahahahaha..."
Li Shizheng and the others surrounded Chen Che and kept talking, not hiding their triumph and arrogance.
Chen Che's expression darkened, and he said again: "I gave you a chance. Since you don't want it, then you are courting death."
"You're still acting tough?! Fine, stand up now and kill me!"
Han Bailing pressed the muzzle against the top of Chen Che's head and said viciously: "I want to see how much ability you have left while wearing the Limiter!"
"Enough!"
At this moment, Wu Qingkui let out another angry shout: "Your goal has already been achieved, so stop doing these useless things. I keep my word; release Chen Che and Xie Wanning, and I promise to give up the position.
However, if either of them suffers even the slightest mishap, even if I die, don't you dare think you will get what you want!"
……… "There are too many things to do at the company at the end of the year, so the updates have been lackluster; I am terribly sorry. This is the last unit story, and I will strive to finish it within a week. Thank you to the friends who have been following along, and here I would like to give a special thanks to the reader '9Zhao6' (the nickname on the Qimao backend is: Qimao Book Friend-0).
Thank you very much for the support from this reader friend; it has given me great motivation, truly, thank you very much!!!"
