Chapter 1039: Li Yi vs. Liu Dongping
The next day, early morning!
Li Yi awoke from the arms of his beloved, brushed aside his wife’s arm that was resting on him, and sat up on the bed.
Last night—perhaps sensing his low spirits—after seeing Wang Anguo and the others off, Jiang Xue had taken the initiative to “invite” him, allowing their marital relationship to blossom and reach a new level of harmony.
Of course, one round was clearly not enough; it required one, two, three, four… and then one more…
In short, Li Yi had been drained dry once again!
Looking at Jiang Xue, who was still fast asleep, Li Yi couldn’t help but recall a saying: “In youth, one knows not the charms of a mature woman, mistaking a maiden for a treasure.”
Speaking of which, this young wife has three virtues: she’s gentle, kind, and insatiable…
Resisting the urge to go for a second, third, fourth, and yet another round, Li Yi made his way from the kang to the floor, then set about his daily chores.
By the time he had stoked the stove and boiled water for washing his face, and stepped out of the main room, his eldest sister and Yang Miao had already prepared breakfast, dressed the three kids, and fed them milk.
By the way, to prevent Yun Rui and Yun Jin from interrupting their intimate moments, the two had tacitly agreed last night not to go to the west wing to fetch the two little ones back to their room.
After greeting Zhou Wen, Yang Zhiwen, Xiao Wu, and Yang Miao, who were in the middle of their training, Li Yi—wrapped in his cotton-padded coat—made his way with practiced ease to the mailbox by the door and retrieved today’s fresh newspapers.
Back in the living room, he began flipping through it again.
According to the plan Li Yi had devised in advance, after exposing the fact that Wang Anguo and the others had been framed by Liu Dongping—the son of a high-ranking official—the next step was to comprehensively expose Liu Dongping’s illegal and criminal activities, thereby completely igniting public opinion.
Since Wang Anguo and the others showed no intention of settling with him, Li Yi did not call off this plan.
Sure enough, today’s newspapers featured extensive coverage of Liu Dongping’s numerous illegal and criminal activities.
Some papers reported that the man, relying on his status, had arbitrarily skipped work, embezzled company funds, and misappropriated large sums of public money for eating, drinking, and entertainment.
Other papers exposed Liu Dongping’s history of bullying men and women—particularly women—within his workplace and the southern part of the city, detailing multiple specific cases.
Still others turned their sights on the Dragon-Tiger Gang, exposing how Liu Dongping had formed this criminal organization and delving deeply into the gang’s activities.
Although this was not the full extent of Liu Dongping’s misdeeds, the revelations were nonetheless shocking.
However, after reading through all the newspapers, Li Yi couldn’t help but furrow his brow. The reason was that among the dozen or so newspapers Jiang Longcheng had contacted, several had not published any related reports.
Clearly, the Liu family had already put a stop to these outlets.
Fortunately, though the Liu family wielded significant power, they couldn’t control everything. Several major media outlets still exposed Liu Dongping’s misdeeds.
Although the reach was slightly smaller than expected, since these were major state-run media outlets, it didn’t have a significant impact on Li Yi’s subsequent plans.
The bullet had already been fired; there was no need to rush the rest. Let the bullet fly for a while…
…….
At 8:30 a.m., after dropping Jiang Xue and the children off at school, Li Yi took Zhou Wen and the others to the Wang family residence to discuss the next steps with Wang Anguo.
However, as soon as they arrived at the Wang residence, they saw several Jeeps parked at the entrance, all bearing military license plates.
Li Yi paused in surprise. Did Wang Anguo have connections with the military?
With a hint of confusion, Li Yi pushed open the gate to the Wang residence.
As soon as he stepped inside, Li Yi saw seven or eight burly young men standing in the Wang family’s courtyard. Upon seeing Li Yi and his group enter, they all shot them hostile glances.
At the same time, Li Yi heard the sound of a heated argument coming from inside the house; clearly, the people inside were not getting along.
Recalling that scumbag Liu Dongping had military connections, a possibility immediately occurred to Li Yi. He was about to lead Zhou Wen and the others toward the house.
But the young men outside clearly had no intention of letting them in and blocked Li Yi and his group’s path.
“Who are you? Stop right there…”
Li Yi ignored the young men and turned to Zhou Wen. “Wen, can you handle this?”
They outnumbered them. If Zhou Wen and the others couldn’t handle it, Li Yi was prepared to leave first and call for backup!
However, Zhou Wen didn’t let him down. He glanced at Yang Zhiwen beside him and said, “It’s a small skirmish. What do you want to do, Brother Yi?”
Li Yi replied immediately, “What else can we do? Let’s take them down!”
“Got it!”
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Zhou Wen sprang into action.
He charged forward, landing a punch that sent the young punk who’d been shouting insults earlier crashing to the ground.
He spun around, delivering a roundhouse kick that sent the man in front of him flying, then landed two swift roundhouse kicks on the two thugs charging toward him.
In just a few exchanges, the four thugs surrounding Li Yi were all knocked to the ground, completely incapacitated.
And all of this happened in less than a minute, leaving Li Yi with goosebumps.
He was a kickboxing enthusiast himself, having trained diligently in both his past and present lives, even seeking guidance from masters. Back in the village, when facing Xu Hong and the other male educated youths, he had fought one against many and was invincible.
But compared to Zhou Wen, Li Yi felt he wouldn’t last more than three moves against him.
Moreover, Li Yi could tell that Zhou Wen had gone easy on them just now; otherwise, those guys would likely be dead.
Just as Li Yi was reeling from the shock, the others in the courtyard noticed what was happening and immediately alerted those inside the house, while simultaneously closing in on Li Yi and his group once more.
This time, before Zhou Wen could act, Yang Zhiwen shouted, “I’ll handle this!”
Then, like a cannonball fired from a barrel, he charged straight at the four or five thugs closing in.
Unlike Zhou Wen’s flashy moves, Yang Zhiwen was like a human tank, completely overwhelming the thugs in front of him.
Before Li Yi could even get a clear look, the four or five thugs were all lying on the ground, whimpering and groaning like pigs awaiting slaughter.
When Liu Dongping emerged from the house with a few of his key men, all he saw was his crew sprawled haphazardly across the courtyard, whimpering incessantly.
Instantly, Liu Dongping flew into a rage, his gaze sweeping over Li Yi and the others with venom and fury.
Immediately, the man shouted at Li Yi, “You fucking little shit—how dare you hit my men? You must be tired of living!”
Li Yi had no intention of engaging with this spoiled rich kid who’d clearly been pampered by his family, but hearing such filthy language instantly ignited his anger.
He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, “You must be Liu Dongping. I’m Li Yi. I’m sure you’ve heard of me.”
“You’re that son-in-law of the Jiang family, aren’t you? You’re the one backing those vermin behind the scenes, letting them mess with me. Fine, just wait and see how I’m going to deal with you today…”
Before Liu Dongping could finish, Li Yi strode forward, stood directly in front of him, and said in an icy tone, “If you dare utter another word of disrespect, I’ll take you down right now—and I’ll make sure you get the full five-year sentence!”
Facing Li Yi’s icy stare, Liu Dongping, who had been chattering away just moments before, suddenly shuddered in fear.
He swore he’d never seen such a ferocious look in his life; it was as if he were being stared down by a starving wolf.
Liu Dongping was convinced that if he dared to utter a single word in reply, the man standing before him would pounce and tear him to pieces.
He swallowed hard, involuntarily taking a few steps back to put some distance between himself and Li Yi, watching him warily…
