Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

The job to assassinate Li Shiheng was accepted by the Dragon King Palace, a powerful force in the underworld that no one dared to mess with.

However, it is still unclear how many people the Dragon King Palace sent to infiltrate the Dragon Kingdom, but Xiao Chen is the closest to the neighboring city.

But Xiao Chen is the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace. No one can guarantee whether he would condescend to personally carry out such an assassination.

Mo Yu's eyes were practically overflowing with rage at this. He actually hoped that this slippery eel could lead the team himself, so that he could properly vent the anger that had been building up in his heart and settle accounts with the other party.

"The Lord of the Temple of the God of Slaughter?"

On the other side, Li Shiheng hung up Luo Lingtian's call, tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, and fell into deep thought.

He didn't doubt the news Luo Lingtian brought at all. There was no need for the other party to joke about such a thing. That's why he took Luo Lingtian more seriously.

To be honest, Luo Lingtian was able to find out immediately about Li Tingchuan's clandestine operation of secretly contacting the Dragon King Palace on the dark web to assassinate him. The extent of his information network was simply outrageous.

If the order were placed directly on the dark web, Li Shiheng would know immediately. After all, he is the head of a top-tier wealthy family, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone tried to assassinate him.

Therefore, among his subordinates, there are people who specifically monitor the dark web. Unless he closely monitors Li Tingchuan beforehand, it would be difficult for him to know that Li Tingchuan is directly in contact with the assassination organization.

At this moment, he became a little curious: What exactly is the relationship between Luo Lingtian and the Temple of Slaughter? Does he simply know that mysterious temple master, or is he himself the temple master hidden behind the scenes?

Li Shiheng shook his head and quickly dismissed the thought. In fact, it wasn't that important. No matter what the situation, Luo Lingtian was no ordinary person.

It seems that the Qin family patriarch must have known some inside story, which is why he arranged for his granddaughter, Qin Qingcheng, to get engaged to him.

And this inside story is probably not as simple as just a mercenary organization. After all, how could the Qin family possibly take a mere overseas mercenary organization seriously?

The most important thing right now is still Li Tingchuan's matter.

A cold glint flashed in Li Shiheng's eyes. Although it was somewhat unexpected that Li Tingchuan would dare to hire someone to assassinate him, he knew the root cause perfectly well.

As a top-tier wealthy family, the Li family had many descendants, but in his generation, he was the only direct descendant left.

His parents died unexpectedly when he was young. If something were to happen to him, the Li family's vast fortune would fall into the hands of a collateral branch.

If Old Master Li doesn't want the Li family's foundation to be shaken, he can only choose a new heir from a collateral branch, and Li Tingchuan's advantage among the collateral branches is undoubtedly the greatest.

Back when Old Master Li was in power, he was assassinated. It was Li Tingchuan's grandfather who took a bullet for him. Although he did not die on the spot, he was left with a chronic injury that was difficult to cure, and he passed away a few years later.

Old Master Li always remembered this kindness and took extra care of Li Tingchuan's family.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shiheng has turned a blind eye to Li Tingchuan's use of the Li family's name to make money all these years.

But over the years, the Li family's increasingly demanding behavior, coupled with his secret favoritism, has meant that the favors from back then have long since been repaid, and in fact, by quite a bit.

Although the debt of gratitude for saving a life is as heavy as Mount Tai and cannot be measured by simple human feelings, Li Shiheng has always been rational.

Back then, Li Tingchuan's grandfather was Li Laoye's bodyguard. Li Laoye treated him well. As a bodyguard, it was his duty to take a bullet for his employer. To put it bluntly, he was just taking money and doing his job.

It's only because Old Master Li values ​​loyalty and righteousness that Li Tingchuan is so successful today.

Unexpectedly, they raised a thankless wretch who dared to plot to seize the Li Group's assets!

Li Shiheng saw it all clearly: Li Tingchuan's plan was shrewd. As long as he died, given Old Master Li's favoritism towards him, and by constantly trying to win over the old man, his chances of inheriting the Li Group would be off the charts.

"But now..." Li Shiheng sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

Honestly, he looked down on Li Tingchuan from the bottom of his heart. That kid was like he was missing a screw in his head and never understood the situation.

Just because of a woman, they actually dared to offend Luo Lingtian! Have they forgotten that old saying? Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival; arrogance is!

Even if you don't know Qin Qingcheng, the daughter of the Qin family in the capital, you should still be more discreet when you're out of town.

Even if the other party looks like just an adopted son of a third-rate wealthy family, you should still find out their background before you can mess with them, right?

Now look what's happened! He's offended people terribly, and all his shady dealings have been exposed.

Li Shiheng curled his lips in disdain, no longer dwelling on these trivial matters.

He stared at the number in the text message on his phone and dialed it without hesitation.

On the other side, upon learning that Xiao Chen might be coming, Mo Yu lost all interest in fishing. He immediately bid farewell to Luo Lingtian, quickly packed up his fishing gear, and rushed back to gather his men, ready to give Xiao Chen a head-on blow.

Luo Lingtian fished alone for a while, then leisurely returned to Lingtian Manor.

"Qingcheng, do you know Yu Bingyu?"

During lunch, he casually posed a question to Qin Qingcheng. He already knew that Qin Qingcheng knew Yu Bingyu and had also figured out the secret that she and Yu Bingyu were reborn people, but since she hadn't confessed, he was too lazy to point it out.

"Yes, we know each other. What's wrong?" Qin Qingcheng was slightly taken aback, then asked casually.

"It's nothing."

Luo Lingtian took a bite of rice and said casually, "I just heard that she's been getting quite close to Zhao Hao from the Zhao family lately, and that Zhao Hao seems to be at odds with Xiao Chen. I happen to have some news about Xiao Chen, and I'm thinking of whether I should tell them."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the other two women at the table stopped eating in unison. Although they quickly resumed their normal eating, they did not escape Luo Lingtian's eyes.

Qin Qingcheng feigned curiosity and pressed on, "Xiao Chen? Is that the guy who staged that whole thing, pretending to save Bingyu and trying to show off and get close to her?"

"Yes, it's him." Luo Lingtian nodded, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping across the three women's faces, taking in their subtle expressions.

"That guy is really disgusting."

Qin Qingcheng immediately put on a look of disgust. "Last time at the Li's Auction House, he stared at us with that lewd and disgusting look. What happened to him this time?"

Luo Lingtian smiled and briefly explained that the Dragon King Palace had accepted the mission to assassinate Li Shiheng. He added at the end, "I just felt that Yu Bingyu was getting close to that kid from the Zhao family, and Zhao Hao might be looking for an opportunity to deal with Xiao Chen, so I asked for your opinion."

"Of course I want to!"

Qin Qingcheng subconsciously raised her voice, then coughed lightly to cover up her overreaction, "Zhao Hao finally managed to win over Bingyu. Xiao Chen used such despicable means to pester Bingyu before, he must still be holding a grudge."

"After all, Xiao Chen almost won Bingyu's heart with that fake kindness. Who could tolerate that? I'll pass the message on to Zhao Hao this afternoon, and he'll definitely be happy to get involved."

"Indeed, this is going to be quite a show." Luo Lingtian nodded with a smile in his eyes, already having a plan in mind.

Lunch ended quickly, and the three women got up to say goodbye. They were not just pretty faces; each of them had their own careers to attend to.

Luo Lingtian had no intention of rushing into research. He lay down on the recliner in the pavilion for a short rest, quietly waiting to take the three girls to level up in the game that night. The virtual game was also the kind of game he had always longed for in his previous life.

Meanwhile, in the president's office of the Yu Group, Zhao Hao had his arm around Yu Bingyu's slender waist. After hearing the news she brought, a sharp, cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Is the news reliable? Are you kidding me?"

Yu Bingyu leaned against him, her tone resolute: "It's news from Luo Lingtian's side. Qingcheng relayed it to me, so it can't be false."

"Tsk, so it was that hidden big shot who made the move?" Zhao Hao clicked his tongue, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Judging from this, that big shot looks down on Xiao Chen from the bottom of his heart, but is too lazy to crush him personally. What exactly is he up to?"

"Who knows?" Yu Bingyu shook her head, somewhat puzzled. "He clearly noticed Xiao Chen a long time ago, but he just stood by and watched coldly. I don't know what he was thinking."

"Who cares? Let's not try to guess what the big boss is thinking."

Zhao Hao narrowed his eyes, a ruthless glint in them. "Now that we know about Xiao Chen, and that the Killing God Hall and Ye Fan are also involved in dealing with him, there's no reason not to get involved."

The only thing that worried him was whether Xiao Chen would personally carry out the assassination mission. After all, he was the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace, and he might not condescend to carry out such an assassination mission.

Even if Xiao Chen doesn't come, killing some people from the Dragon King's Palace would still be a good thing.

Moreover, this greatly increases the likelihood that Xiao Chen will personally intervene later!

The Dragon King's Palace is a huge organization. If they accept an assassination mission but fail to complete it, their first thought is definitely not to terminate the mission, but to send stronger people to continue the mission.

This is a matter of credibility. If we give up on the mission when we encounter setbacks, then the Dragon King Palace would never have been able to develop to its current scale.

Xiao Chen is an arrogant person, and since the mission was not completed and suffered heavy losses, there is a high probability that he will personally lead the team to carry out the mission.

Especially since he had just broken through to the Innate Realm not long ago, it was probably the time when his confidence was at its peak, and at the same time, he wanted to establish his authority.

Although Xiao Chen is the Dragon King, he is ultimately a newly appointed Dragon King, and it is impossible for everyone in the Dragon King's Palace to be convinced by him.

Therefore, personally leading the team to carry out the mission and completing it successfully will enhance his prestige within the Dragon King's Palace.

With this in mind, Zhao Hao bid farewell to Yu Bingyu and went home to gather his men, preparing to rush to the neighboring city overnight.

His men are not very strong, so we need to make arrangements in advance. The repeating crossbows that we didn't use before should be able to come in handy this time.

Furthermore, it is necessary to contact the head of the Li family in advance to avoid any misunderstandings.

In Hai City, Luo Lingtian's series of arrangements mobilized many people, but Xiao Chen, who was formulating an assassination plan, was completely unaware of this.
