“I’m going to give Brother Huang a call now. You should head off to bed first,” Li Cong Tian said.
Though it was not late at the moment, he was worried that his wife would get too anxious, having experienced unpleasant situations today.
Li Yu shook her head as soon as she heard what Li Cong Tian said. “I’m not leaving. Please call my brother.”
Li Cong Tian did not say anything else. He picked up the phone on the glass coffee table in front of the sofa and searched for a certain contact.
When he found it, Li Cong Tian dialed.
Ring, ring...
A few rings later, someone picked up.
“Brother Li, quite unexpected for you to call at this hour. Is there something wrong?” The voice of a middle-aged man sounded through the phone’s speaker.
Li Cong Tian did not reply right away. He put the phone on speaker and placed the device on the glass table.
“Brother Huang, sorry for disturbing you. I have something I need your help with. This is quite a big problem and it might cause you trouble.”
Li Cong Tian said this with a guilty tone of voice. He did not want Brother Huang, or Huang Qian, to be involved in this.
The Xi family, one of the five most powerful families in Beijing, was not an entity he could deal with.
“What is it?” Huang Qian asked, frowning. “Just hurry up and tell me, Brother Li. I’ll always help you whatever it is, big or small. Don’t forget that we are sworn brothers. My sister is your wife. Not to mention that you’ve saved my life.”
Li Cong Tian sighed. He then told Huang Qian everything about Xi Dong’s visit to his house and what he did.
“Xi Dong from the Xi family?” Huang Qian’s face was extremely dark. He had never thought that this Xi Dong from the Xi family would dare to threaten Li Cong Tian and ask to sleep with his niece.
His heart felt like there was about to be an eruption of lava. He was extremely angry.
“Big brother, please help us,” Li Yu said all of a sudden.
“Don’t worry. Even though it’s the Xi family, I would never let them bully your family like this,” Huang Qian said coldly.
Listening to this, Li Cong Tian was filled with regret and shame.
“If I had known that Xi Dong was this revolting of a person, I would never have said yes to the engagement offer. I am the cause of this mess.”
“Don’t blame yourself, Brother Li. I guarantee you that Xi Dong will be rotting in jail tomorrow!”
“Thank you, Brother Huang.” Li Cong Tian could only say thank you.
“Not a big deal at all. If the Xi family dares retaliate, I’ll send an army to destroy them!”
From what Huang Qian said, it was easy to see that he was a very powerful man.
His rank in the military was that of a general. Now, he was one of the ten most powerful generals in the military as well!
Huang Qian had a large number of soldiers under his command. Anyone who dared to cross him would have to carefully weigh the pros and cons of their action. Otherwise, the consequences might be terrifying!
Even though the other side of the conflict was the five most powerful families in Beijing, they all had to weigh the advantages and the disadvantages well.
“Brother Li and little Yu, please don’t worry. I’ll take care of this as fast as I can,” Huang Qian reconfirmed before hanging up.
Li Cong Tian looked at Li Yu and said, “Thank God we have Brother Huang. Otherwise, our Li family might be destroyed because of that bastard Xi Dong!”
,m “Mm-hmm.” Li Yu nodded in agreement. She sighed with relief.
........................................
Inside a secret room in the biggest military base in China, a middle-aged man was seated on an exceptional office chair. His face had a scar from a long cut; it extended from his eyebrow to his chin.
The man was wearing a green military uniform, with many medals and decorations attached to his shoulders and on his uniform collar.
It was clear that the uniform he was wearing was that of a general. All the medals and decorations were a testament to who he was.
This man was clearly a general of the Chinese military. There was no doubt about it.
The general was Huang Qian, who was the sworn brother of Li Cong Tian and Li Yu’s older brother.
Huang Qian’s face was full of anger right now. In front of him stood a lieutenant colonel, who was holding a file in his hand.
Seeing the general’s angry face, his heart withered. Sweat started to seep from his forehead. He did not know who it was that had dared to make General Huang Qian, one of the ten most powerful military generals in China, this angry.
“Lieutenant Colonel Zhou,” said Huang Qian, looking at the lieutenant colonel standing in front of him.
The lieutenant colonel’s body shook in an instant. He quickly replied respectfully, “Yes, sir.”
“Contact the police station in Xing Zhou City. Tell that station's chief that I want him to do whatever it takes to put Xi Dong in jail!”
Huang Qian issued this order angrily. Apparently, though a soldier himself, he had quite a lot of power in the police department as well.
“Y… yes, sir!” Lieutenant Colonel Zhou did not dare to ask questions. He put the file on the desk in front of General Huang Qian, gave a salute, and hurriedly left the room.
His heart was filled with anxiety. He could only feel sorry for the guy named Xi Dong, who had had the bad luck to make General Huang Qian angry.
This Xi Dong guy would most definitely spend the rest of his life rotting in jail!
After Lieutenant Colonel Zhou had left the room, Huang Qian tapped his fingers on the desk. He said with a cold voice.
“Now, let’s see. Will the Xi family dare to retaliate? If you don’t, it’s fine. But if you do, don’t say I’m heartless. It was Xi Dong, your offspring, who started this!”
