Chapter 484: Li Sheng's Hesitation!

~7 min read 1,334 words

Who is Li Sheng?

He is the man standing at the top of Xianggang.

Those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him are no more than can be counted on two hands.

Such a big shot actually took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Yang.

Moreover, it seems he is an old acquaintance of Lin Yang.

This made Sun Zhengcai deeply fearful.

He nervously said, "Head of the Li Family, I suddenly remembered I still have unfinished business, so I'll leave first."

Li Sheng let out a cold laugh and said:

"Leaving already?"

"Could it be that what you just did never happened?"

Sun Zhengcai forced a smile and said to Li Sheng:

"What's the matter?"

"You offended Mr. Lin and think you can leave without a word?"

"Let me tell you, Mr. Lin is a distinguished guest of our Li Family."

"If you offend him, you offend our Li Family!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengcai turned deathly pale from fright.

He immediately lowered his head and bent his waist, coming before Lin Yang to say:

"Mr. Lin, I just offended you; it was entirely unintentional."

"Please forgive me."

Li Sheng snorted, looked at Lin Yang, and said:

"Mr. Lin, are you satisfied?"

"If you are satisfied, then let him get lost."

"If not, then the Sun Family will be our Li Family's enemy."

These words made Sun Zhengcai swallow his saliva as he looked at Lin Yang.

Lin Yang calmly said, "Let him go."

Li Sheng looked at Sun Zhengcai, gave a cold snort, and said:

"Didn't you hear Mr. Lin's words? Still not thanking him!"

Sun Zhengcai nodded and bowed, saying to Lin Yang:

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you, Mr. Lin."

"Get lost!"

After Sun Zhengcai slinked away in disgrace, Wang Xilai also stood up and said to Lin Yang:

"Mr. Lin, you have an honored guest coming; I'll go downstairs to wait for you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang laughed and said:

"We agreed to eat together; the head of the Li Family is not an outsider, so why leave?"

"Head of the Li Family, what do you say?"

Li Sheng laughed heartily and said, "That's only natural."

"Mr. Lin and I are close friends, not outsiders."

"Just sit down and eat together."

Wang Xilai felt a surge of emotion, being able to dine with someone of Li Sheng's stature.

He had never even imagined this in his lifetime.

And Lin Yang gave himself such an opportunity.

After the three reseated themselves, Li Sheng chuckled and said:

"Mr. Lin, you came to Xianggang but didn't say you'd visit our Li Family."

"After all, you've become distant."

Lin Yang smiled, then pushed the menu toward Li Sheng.

"My affairs, Boss Li should have heard about them too, right?"

"I intend to finish handling everything on my plate before going to the Li Family."

After Li Sheng ordered a few dishes for the waiter, he said to Lin Yang:

"Are you saying this to slap my face?"

"Could it be that my Li Family fears Yang Shaocheng's people?"

"If you don't want to go, I'll step in to mediate and get Yang Shaocheng to back off."

Lin Yang laughed and shook his head, saying:

"No need; Yang Shaocheng is just a minor figure—I can still take him down."

Seeing Lin Yang reveal a confident smile, Li Sheng also laughed and said:

"Regarding your strength, I naturally won't doubt it."

"However, Yang Shaocheng has many disciples and followers, so you'd better watch out."

"Haha, just a rabble!"

Lin Yang confidently said:

Wang Xilai felt his heart race—even Yang Shaocheng, famed throughout Xianggang, seemed like a rabble in Lin Yang's eyes?

As he felt this shock, the dishes arrived.

After the dishes were served, Li Sheng poured wine for Lin Yang.

After three rounds of drinks, Lin Yang suddenly spoke.

"Boss Li, are the Li family currently marrying into the Huo family?"

Li Sheng looked at Lin Yang, pondered for a moment, then said.

"This matter hasn't been settled yet."

"However, the Huo family indeed has this intention."

Lin Yang said with a half-smile: "The Huo family is the royal family of Yanjing; does anyone in your family still oppose this?"

"Precisely because they are the Yanjing royal family and have suddenly taken the initiative, we need to consider it."

"We're all adults now; a marriage alliance like this is definitely motivated by interests."

Listening to Li Sheng's words, Lin Yang fell silent for a moment, then said.

"If Boss Li doesn't mind my meddling in your family affairs, I have something to say."

"Please go ahead."

Lin Yang said: "You should refuse to marry into the Huo family."

Li Sheng asked in surprise: "Why?"

Lin Yang also spoke frankly to Li Sheng.

"Because we have a grudge against the Huo family; sooner or later there will be a battle."

"I don't want us to face each other on the battlefield when that time comes."

Li Sheng looked at Lin Yang, quite astonished.

Before Li Sheng could speak, Lin Yang continued.

"I also have a grudge with the Jiang clan; sooner or later we will settle it with life or death."

"Think for yourself whether you want to side with me."

Li Sheng, who had originally intended to say that his Li family would always stand with Lin Yang, was suddenly struck speechless.

Seeing him like that, Lin Yang didn't get angry.

After all, this concerns the survival of a great family.

As the head of the Li family, Li Sheng naturally needs to consider it carefully.

"Head of the Li family, you should give this matter careful thought."

Li Sheng gave a bitter laugh and said: "Okay."

Wang Xilai listened, his heart pounding with shock.

To go to war with two great families at once—what courage that would take!

On Li Sheng's side, he hesitated for a moment and then asked Lin Yang.

"What about the marriage between the Huo family and the Jiang clan..."

"No matter how the Huo family chooses, Jiang Hao must die!"

Upon hearing this, Li Sheng's hand trembled slightly.

As the heir of the royal family, if he were to die in Xianggang, that would be major news.

After discussing all this, Li Sheng felt the meal had lost its flavor.

Once Lin Yang had eaten his fill, he rose to take his leave.

Regarding what Lin Yang said, he must return to the family to discuss it.

While Li Sheng was returning to discuss, the Huo family was also discussing the Longevity Elixir.

In the Huo family meeting room, Huo Zhixiang, face flushed with anger, said.

"That fellow named Lin Yang is too arrogant."

"Even if Grand Master Yang spares him this time, what if he provokes some big shot next time?"

"We, the Huo family, must cut ties with Lin Yang!"

"We want the Longevity Elixir, but we don't want the agreement with Lin Yang!"

Huo Zhidong said in a deep voice: "Once we cut ties with Lin Yang,"

"we will not get a single drop of the Longevity Elixir!"

"You should know the huge profits from the Longevity Elixir!"

Listening to his older brother's words, Huo Zhixiang said.

"We can defraud a large amount of Longevity Elixir from the southwest after his death!"

Huo Zhidong frowned and asked: "What if he doesn't die in this battle?"

"It's impossible for him not to die!"

Saying this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly upward.

"I have already sent a message to the Jiang clan of Yanjing; they also agree to send experts!"

"Do you think, after Lin Yang battles Grand Master Yang, he will still have the strength to fight the Jiang clan's experts?"

Huo Zhidong was left speechless.

Seeing him like that, Huo Zhixiang laughed loudly.

"In three days, that fellow named Lin Yang will surely die!"

Huo Yanfei, hiding outside the meeting room, upon hearing the words inside, was filled with shock.

Her first thought was to tell Lin Yang about this!
