Chapter 2996: Chapter 2996: The Le Family Is Courting Death

"Of course, if you’re not fast enough, then it might not be certain. You might all end up buried with Young Master Le."

"Big brother, I’m going right away, right away."

The subordinate felt a chill down their spine upon hearing this. Who the hell wants to be buried with a brainless young master? If you can run, you’d better run quickly.

Watching the subordinate leave in a hurry, Old Jing shook his head and sighed.

The Le Family is truly walking further down the path to their own destruction. With this behavior, dreaming about a comeback?

Fortunately, Qian Jiyun and the others left, which gave him the perfect reason to leave the Le Family and avoid being buried with them. Just thinking about it made him excited.

No way, he needed to pack his bags quickly. If he delayed even a bit, the Family Head might call him back.

With this in mind, he lifted his foot and walked towards his own courtyard. This place was not somewhere to linger for even a moment longer. The sooner he left, the better. He wondered what the other counselors were thinking.

Anyway, he wasn’t staying.

...

Outside the City Lord Residence.

City Lord Bai had just seen Qian Jiyun and the others off and hadn’t even turned around to enter the residence when a guard hurriedly reported from outside.

"Reporting to the City Lord, last night at Zhaixing Tower, after Young Master Le got drunk, he killed Second Young Master Sima. Now Young Master Le has been captured by the Sima Family."

City Lord Bai: "..."

The Le Family sure knows how to stir up trouble, offending two major clans at once. If they don’t meet their end, who will?

Hong Dahua: "!"

Recently, White Lion City has been quite lively, almost as lively as during festival times.

"I’ve seen that Second Young Master Sima before; he seemed like a pretty naive kid. Why would he go to Zhaixing Tower?" She expressed her doubts.

"Madam, it’s said that Second Young Master Sima had a confidante at Zhaixing Tower named Little Lianxiang. Yesterday was Little Lianxiang’s birthday, so he went to Zhaixing Tower.

And Young Master Le coveted Little Lianxiang’s beauty. The two got into an argument while drunk, and in the end, Young Master Le struck, stabbing Young Master Sima directly in a vital spot, and he died soon after."

Reported the guard.

Upon hearing this, City Lord Bai closed his eyes, feeling a headache coming on.

Previously, when the legitimate daughter of the Le Family offended the two prominent clans, it was still somewhat manageable; it was just a matter of feelings, and no one had died. There was still a chance for the Le Family to struggle a bit.

But now, a life has been lost, and it’s the legitimate son of a major clan, the most cherished in the family!

"This Le Family is digging its own grave," he said.

"They’re digging their own grave, but they’re also causing you trouble," Hong Dahua glanced at him and said.

Before any life was lost, the City Lord Residence could stay out of it, but now that there’s been a death, the City Lord Residence can’t just turn a blind eye; they have to step in.

Young Master Le can’t be left alive. A life for a life, right?

"I reckon the Head of the Le Family wouldn’t want to save his son’s life either. This matter is relatively straightforward, but... I fear there will be significant changes in White Lion City following this."

"With one major clan gone, the City Lord Residence is naturally going to take a bite of this big pie," City Lord Bai said as a matter of course.

There’s no reason for the City Lord Residence to not take a bite out of what’s left behind in White Lion City after the Le Family is gone. There’s no such thing as not getting a share.

"Dahua, with Yan’er not here, this matter..."

"Just let Ti’er handle it."

Hong Dahua was the first to speak. She refused to take this troublesome matter upon herself. It was simply too difficult for her.
