Chapter 188: Li Family

After killing Chai Jue, Li Fei didn't continue to attack the remaining people, but turned around and kicked the car door of a car heavily.

Boom!!!

The car door was kicked inward, and then under the push of huge force, it slid a distance on the ground.

Li Fei rushed up and kicked a second time; this time, the car was forcibly kicked off the road by him and overturned into the grass on the side of the road.

Such terrifying explosive power scared the Chen family martial artists so much that they didn't dare to step forward, and Li Fei turned and rushed toward the next car.

He had already used 【Blood Fury】 when he fought Chai Jue just now, consuming 7 blood souls to gain strength reinforcement.

Chai Jue was defeated by him, losing in strength, losing in moves, and also losing in power.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Huge collision sounds rang out on the road time and again.

Li Fei kicked the dozen or so cars of the Chen family to the side of the road one kick after another, forcibly clearing the road.

During this period, the Chen family martial artists tried to besiege Li Fei together, and after paying the price of seven or eight people having their arms broken, they finally didn't dare to take action again.

A moment later, Li Fei returned.

The Inspectorate convoy restarted and drove away.

The rest of the journey didn't encounter any more twists and turns, and the convoy successfully returned to the city and returned to the Inspectorate.

Li Lei finally withstood the pressure and held on until Lu Sheng brought the people back.

That night, the Inspectorate interrogated the case overnight, and at the same time directly sent the Second Brigade to Chen Village to support, preventing accidents there.

Li Fei went with the Second Brigade and stayed in Chen Village.

The Chen family, of course, didn't sit still and wait for death, constantly using various methods to try to obstruct the Inspectorate's handling of the case.

Chief Administrator Lan Changqun's secretary, Cui Ding, even stayed at the Inspectorate that night and didn't leave.

But it was useless; this time Li Lei didn't give anyone face. Unless someone could directly remove him as acting Chief Inspector, no one could change his will!

As long as the Chen family didn't dare to bring people to kill their way into the Inspectorate to snatch people, the investigation of the case wouldn't stop!

March 22nd.

The day after the people from Chen Village were brought back to the Inspectorate, the Inspectorate sent people to the Chen residence again.

This time it was still to make arrests.

The cases involved in Chen Village naturally couldn't be completely unrelated to the Chen residence; this time, seven more main members of the Chen family were taken away, the highest-ranking of whom was Chen Yuzhi, the helmsman of the Chen family's third branch, Third Master Chen!

This Third Master Chen had once gone to the Qingyuan Fist Village to talk to Li Fei face-to-face about the exotic beast farm; he was the person mainly responsible for the Chen family's medicinal herb business in Chen Village, so when something happened in Chen Village, he couldn't stay out of it.

Changheng Street, Chen residence.

After Chen Yuzhi, the helmsman of the third branch, was taken away, the atmosphere of the Chen residence changed.

In the main hall, the high-level members of the Chen family gathered together.

"I have already inquired clearly; all the loose ends involving homicide cases in Chen Village were actually handled very cleanly. The evidence and witnesses found by the Inspectorate this time were all secretly kept by someone. This is not something an outsider could do; there must be a mole in Chen Village!"

A man said.

"Damn it, find him and skin him alive!"

"This kind of person should be made into a human pig!"

"Enough!"

Chen Yujing, sitting in the main seat, sternly interrupted everyone's words.

"The matter of Chen Village, this time it should be impossible to escape guilt. The Inspectorate is clearly going to act hard, and Chief Administrator Lan can't force it either. Think about how to clean up the aftermath."

Chen Yujing said.

"Then Yuzhi, are we just giving up on him?"

A woman asked with a crying voice; she was Chen Yuzhi's wife.

Chen Yujing rubbed his eyebrows: "I will find a way to get the Judicial Academy to deal with it lightly."

Actually, he didn't believe this himself when he said it.

The officials killed the most by the Green-Faced Ghost were from the Judicial Academy, so many people in the Judicial Academy were replaced.

Nowadays, the Judicial Academy, under the influence of Chief Justice Han Zhangwen, could be said to be "impenetrable," giving no one face; all cases were judged according to the law, not sentencing anyone heavily, but never forgiving anyone lightly!

So it was actually very, very difficult for the Chen family to influence the Judicial Academy's verdict.

"Family Head, we can't just let it go like this!"

Someone said, "This time our Chen family has suffered such a big loss, we must fight back and let the Inspectorate know pain!"

Chen Yujing's eyes also became sharp: "Of course we won't just let it go like this!"

Just at this moment, someone ran in in a panic, ran to Chen Yujing's side, and whispered a few words to him.

After Chen Yujing finished listening, his face turned white, and his body swayed.

"Family Head?"

"What happened?"

Soon, people came in one after another to report the latest intelligence, and the people of the other two branches also got the news:

The Supervisory Academy suddenly started making arrests, and they were all officials of the Chen family line!

Now everyone understood that the attack on the Chen family this time, Chen Village was just the first step, and the enemy's offensive hadn't ended.

If the enemy hiding in the dark could use a mole to master the criminal evidence of Chen Village, then is it possible that they could also master a lot of criminal evidence of the Chen family line officials?

This possibility made people's hearts jump!

"Why does the Supervisory Academy want to help Li Lei so unsparingly?!"

Many people felt they didn't understand.

The Supervisory Academy had indeed been close to Li Lei before, but they hadn't clearly stood in line, and their relationship with the new Chief Administrator Lan Changqun was also very good.

However, now that Lan Changqun had clearly expressed his fury, the Supervisory Academy jumped out to help the Inspectorate deal with the Chen family; this was clearly standing in line!

Chen Yujing vaguely guessed the reason, and a name flashed in his mind—Li Fei.

He already knew about Li Fei's exploits in Datong Prefecture.

Now that the Li family had produced a peerless genius, as long as Li Fei didn't die, he would definitely become a Dao Foundation stage expert in the future, and not an ordinary Dao Foundation stage expert.

Such a Dao Foundation stage expert could already support a family's future.

So the Supervisory Academy likely chose to fully support Li Lei because of Li Fei's potential!

"Even if the Supervisory Academy also takes action, we won't necessarily lose; Chief Administrator Lan won't watch the Chen family fall!"

"That's right, with Chief Administrator Lan on our side, we won't lose!"

Everyone cheered themselves up one after another.

The Chen family could be said to have been infinitely glorious in the past half year, with the family's power rising day by day, making many people have the illusion that the Chen family was omnipotent in Xingcheng.

But now, facing the Inspectorate plus the Supervisory Academy's cost-no-object attack, everyone felt that overwhelming pressure!

In the main hall, even the air was pale...

March 23rd.

Three officials of the Chen family line were taken away by the Supervisory Academy, all of whom were second-grade subordinate officials.

For a time, the officials standing on the Chen family's side were all in danger.

The "Queen" Feng Sanniang did indeed use a mole to master a portion of the criminal evidence of the Chen family line officials, but the officials involved were only those few people.

In other words, it wouldn't be so easy for the Inspectorate and the Supervisory Academy to implement "precision strikes" on the Chen family next.

So Li Lei's next move was—attacking the heart!

He had people reveal the news that the Chen family line officials had been arrested to those Chen family members who had been brought back to the Inspectorate, and then either coerced or lured them to spit out more of the Chen family's criminal facts.

From Chen Village to the Chen family line officials, in just a few days, Li Lei and the Supervisory Academy jointly created an atmosphere that the Chen family mansion was about to collapse.

The arrested Chen family members were naturally panicked, and soon someone couldn't hold on and chose to betray their own family.

So the Inspectorate moved out again, continuing to make arrests!

With the first one, there was the second, the third...

And those who were betrayed by their own family and arrested were naturally full of resentment, decisively choosing to drag others into the water!

The first branch dragged the second branch into the water, the second branch dragged the third branch into the water, and the third branch targeted the first branch...

The struggle between the three branches of the Chen family had always existed and had long-standing grievances, just lacking an opportunity to erupt.

Now, the gunpowder barrel was lit—

It exploded!

March 25th.

The Inspectorate's Second Brigade, which had been stationed in Chen Village, received an order and began large-scale arrests.

Together with the Chen family members, guards, servants, etc., a total of over a hundred people were arrested!

The Inspectorate completed the preliminary conclusion of the case in Chen Village.

Actually, there were two ways to handle it; one was to deal with it lightly, which was only arresting the principal offenders.

One was a comprehensive strike, which was not letting go of any person involved in the case!

Now that the Second Brigade was suddenly making large-scale arrests, it was clear that the Inspectorate's choice was the second one.

This was because the resistance from Chief Administrator Lan Changqun's side suddenly disappeared; this Chief Administrator looked like he had decided to abandon the Chen family, which left Li Lei with no more obstruction, allowing him to handle the case freely and increase the strike force against the Chen family!

In the Chen residence courtyard, Li Fei looked expressionlessly at the inspectors taking away one Chen family member after another.

He had been guarding here for the past few days, actually waiting for the ancestor of the Chen family who had been in seclusion.

This ancestor was of the same generation as Zhu Qingyan and was already over seventy years old this year.

According to the law of "if you don't become a Dao Foundation by fifty, you have no hope for life," this Chen family ancestor should have long lost the hope of impacting the Dao Foundation stage.

But he took a different path and chose another way to break the realm—he removed the implant in his body that had entered the "aging period," and then replaced it with a new one, starting from scratch!

The higher the martial artist's realm, the tighter the implant was combined with the body, so the further back, the heavier the damage caused by removing the implant.

Under normal circumstances, if a Qi Transformation stage peak Martial Master wanted to forcibly remove the implant in his body, he would lose his life!

So no one thought that the Chen family ancestor could succeed, but he just happened to succeed!

After removing the implant in his body and choosing to re-cultivate, that ancestor had been in seclusion all these years and had never taken action in front of people again.

The Chen family claimed to the outside world that the ancestor's re-cultivation was smooth and he was impacting the Dao Foundation stage again. But actually, many people felt that this ancestor had likely already died.

The intelligence Feng Sanniang gave Li Fei was that the Chen family ancestor was still alive, just not sure what realm he was currently in.

Li Fei was prepared for the other party's successful breakthrough, and he had been waiting for the other party to come for the past few days.

If that ancestor dared to come, then the Green-Faced Ghost would soon appear!

However, in the end, that ancestor didn't appear.

Li Fei walked toward a courtyard in the Chen residence.

This was the residence where Zhu Qingyan lived.

After being angered to a faint by Li Fei that day, the old lady had been bedridden.

Li Fei walked into the residence all the way, and the servants here naturally didn't dare to stop him.

"Stop!"

Zhu Qingyan's personal maid stopped Li Fei outside the door, "Old Madam is still recuperating inside, you are not allowed to go in!"

Slap—

Li Fei couldn't be bothered to waste words, slapped this maid in the face, and slapped her flying.

Then he pushed open the door and walked in.

There was a faint smell of Chinese medicine in the room.

Zhu Qingyan was lying on the bed, her breath weak.

She opened her eyes with difficulty after hearing the movement and saw Li Fei.

"You..."

"I came to tell you that the Chen family has fallen."

"Impossible!"

Zhu Qingyan gritted her teeth and said.

Li Fei looked at the other party expressionlessly and described the events of the past few days to the other party in detail.

"... The Chen family will have over a hundred people convicted, more than half will be sentenced to death, and this place will no longer be surnamed Chen from now on."

Li Fei left this sentence at the end and then turned and left.

"Heh heh..."

Zhu Qingyan looked at Li Fei's back and struggled to get up.

She gasped violently and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Old Madam—"

When Li Fei walked out of this residence, a cry of grief came from behind.

He looked up at the sky, recalled the human pigs he had seen in the bunker earlier and the countless crimes committed by the Chen family he had heard about these past few days, and his mood improved slightly.

Xingcheng, Government Building.

Chief Administrator's office.

A man with some gray hair at his temples and an elegant temperament was browsing the documents in his hand.

He was Xingcheng's new Chief Administrator, Lan Changqun.

He was older than Gu Zhenhui, born into a scholarly family, and had previously served as Deputy Chief Administrator in another city.

Being transferred to Xingcheng, he was considered promoted and had taken an important step.

It was just a pity that the "political ecology" of Xingcheng made him feel great pressure; as Chief Administrator, his say was not as great as when he was a Deputy Chief Administrator before.

This time, the Inspectorate and the Supervisory Academy joined forces, clashing with him head-on for the first time.

Everyone saw the final result—he, the Chief Administrator, was completely defeated!

Now that the Chen family had completely collapsed, Xingcheng was truly dominated by one family.

The Inspectorate, the Supervisory Academy, and the Stop-Gore Academy were tightly huddled together, and in the Jianghu, there was the Qingyuan City Management Company occupying the leading position.

On the surface, there was Shangguan Xiao, a Dao Foundation stage expert; the Martial Arts Hall had Hao Yi, a Dao Foundation stage expert; and in the dark, there was the Green-Faced Ghost, a strong person on the Feng Province Wind and Cloud List.

With such power, as long as they didn't rebel, who could check and balance them?

Bang, bang, bang.

A knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Cui Ding walked in.

"Sir, this is the verdict from the Judicial Academy."

Cui Ding handed a document to Lan Changqun.

Lan Changqun took the document, glanced at it roughly, and threw it aside.

"Give me a cigarette."

He said to Cui Ding.

"Good."

Cui Ding on the side hurriedly took out a cigarette and lit it for him.

"Cough cough cough cough."

Lan Changqun took a puff of the cigarette and coughed violently.

He had quit smoking a long time ago.

"Sir."

Cui Ding looked at him with concern.

Lan Changqun waved his hand.

For a long time, he sighed:

"From now on, the number one family in Xingcheng will no longer be the Chen family."

"Hmm."

"It's the Li family."
