Li Yang knew his son's personality all too well. He was arrogant and conceited, but he was also quite smart and would never offend any important figures.
What happened this time? A high-level martial artist hired at great expense was defeated in a small county town. This is simply impossible.
Seeing that he didn't believe him, Li Jun had no choice but to recount everything that had just happened. After listening, Li Yang found it even more unbelievable.
He had seen people catch bullets with their bare hands; that middle-aged bodyguard could do it, and some even more skilled ones could catch them with their bare bodies.
With just a glance, he could stop bullets and even make them reverse direction. Li Yang wondered if his son had developed a mental illness.
After explaining for a long time, Li Yang was still skeptical, so Li Jun could only take pictures and send them to Li Yang, showing the bodyguards lying haphazardly all around.
Li Yang was completely convinced, because due to Li Jun's shooting angle, Gu Qingfeng, who was sitting on the sofa, was also captured in the shot.
Gu Qingfeng noticed Li Jun's little scheme, but he was too lazy to stop him and instead gave him a wicked smile.
Li Yang's mind went blank. His son had really been kidnapped, and the other party was openly asking him to rescue him.
Li Yang asked Li Jun to hand the phone to Gu Qingfeng, as he wanted to have a brief conversation with him personally.
Gu Qingfeng took the phone with a cold expression, and Li Yang's voice came through.
"I don't know who you are, or who sent you. If you release my son and take care of the person behind you, I'll give you two hundred million."
Li Yang really went all out. Even though 200 million yuan is no small sum for the Li family, who are barely considered third-rate families in the capital, taking out 200 million yuan at once is the best he could do.
"I don't want money, I just want him dead. You have two and a half hours left. If you're not here by then, you can start collecting your son's body."
After saying that, he ended the call immediately, showing no regard for the Li family. Li Yang hurriedly summoned all his subordinates.
Some members of the Li family also voiced their opposition, feeling that the matter was not so simple and advising Li Yang not to act impulsively.
"Looking across the entire Haibei region, who the hell dares to touch my Li family? This time, we'll make an example of him."
Li Yang was driven to a dead end and had no choice but to forcefully suppress the dissenting voices. When he confirmed that even the middle-aged bodyguards who were seventh-level martial artists had been defeated, he knew that his son had provoked someone he shouldn't have.
But in the end, they were his own flesh and blood, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to rescue them. He managed to borrow a few helicopter routes through connections.
Given the Li family's status, they bought several helicopters, but without a dedicated flight route, they couldn't take off and leave the capital at any time, even though they were extorted for a hefty sum.
But nothing is more important than his son's life. He only has one son, Li Jun, which is why he dotes on Li Jun so much.
It takes at least an hour to get here from the capital. An hour isn't a long time, but it's not short either.
Li Jun felt a little relieved when he heard that his father was coming soon.
"You gave the order to attack my parents, didn't you?"
Gu Qingfeng lit a cigarette and began to puff out smoke.
There was no point in hiding it now, so Li Jun decided to go all out.
"Yes, it was me. Gu Qingfeng's mother came here and didn't like her, so she sent people to deal with her. As for his father's leg, I was the one who ordered it to be broken."
"That's right, you should admit your mistakes and stand up straight when you're about to be hit."
Gu Qingfeng flashed in front of Li Jun, grabbed his right arm, and flipped him 360 degrees, twisting and deforming his right arm.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Li Jun's endurance was quite good, but he had never suffered such an injury before, being pampered and spoiled. His entire arm was twisted and broken.
Tears streamed down her face as she clutched her right arm and wailed on the ground. Wang Fei's eyes were as still as death, as if the one being tormented was not her boyfriend, but some insignificant person.
Gu Qingfeng glanced at her, sighed softly, and used his energy to suspend Li Jun in mid-air, rendering him unable to move.
"I'm not an unreasonable person. Where are the people who beat my dad? If we find them, I can consider letting this matter go."
He paused, then pointed to the bodyguards at the door.
"Or are they the ones who did it? Tell us everything, and I can help you this time."
The excruciating pain made Li Jun break out in a cold sweat. He grimaced and raised his still-movable left hand, pointing at the group of bodyguards on the ground.
"It was them, they all attacked. I only asked them to teach that old man a lesson, I didn't expect them to be so ruthless."
"Better to sacrifice your friends than yourself," Li Jun thought, no longer caring about such things. He was already in dire straits himself, let alone able to protect these bodyguards.
Gu Qingfeng didn't even turn his head. He threw out several gas bombs, which exploded like bombs as soon as they touched the bodyguards' bodies.
The bodyguards were blown to pieces, leaving only the charred floorboards from the high-temperature explosion.
Li Jun shuddered again. This was too cruel. Where did this giant Buddha statue come from?
That's more than ten human lives, not just a dozen animals. Without the slightest hesitation, they killed them without a second thought.
If he had known he would provoke him, he would never have pursued Faye Wong, even if her family was the most powerful family in the capital, let alone a second-rate one.
Unfortunately, while everything in the world is for sale, the one thing that's not sold is a medicine for regret. What's done is done, and there's no use in regretting it now.
"Now you can forgive me, right? I was really just bewitched. Please forgive me this time."
"Forgive you? That's what Buddha should do. I'm only responsible for taking you to see Buddha."
"But you said you would consider letting me go, and that you would help me."
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand, and an invisible force rotated Li Jun's right arm 360 degrees counterclockwise.
"I've thought it through. I've decided not to let you go, but I'm also a man of my word. I've straightened your bones for you."
If someone else had done this, their entire arm would have been torn apart, but Gu Qingfeng was worried that Li Jun would faint or bleed to death.
Therefore, he used internal force, and Li Jun's skin surface was not damaged; only his internal bones were being tormented.
"Qingfeng, you're finally back. There's a reason I was with him."
From the moment she saw Gu Qingfeng, Faye Wong, who had been silent the whole time, gracefully walked up to him and hugged him.
Gu Qingfeng neither dodged nor responded, but simply looked quietly at the woman in his arms whom he had once deeply loved.
He still remembers when he was at his poorest, Faye Wong had a falling out with her family because of her own reasons, and the two of them lived frugally.
He never imagined things would come to this, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and now he really can't trust her anymore.
"Did you know that Li Jun arranged a car accident to kill me?"
Wang Fei, who was hugging him, suddenly trembled almost imperceptibly, then raised her head and blinked her blurry eyes.
"I don't know. If I had known he wanted to kill you, I would never have stayed with him."
Her tone was sincere and earnest, and Gu Qingfeng was almost fooled by her, but unfortunately, her body betrayed her.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng remain silent, Faye Wong could only resort to playing the emotional card.
"If I didn't like you, why would I have chosen you from among the crowd? Look at him for yourself."
He pointed at Li Jun with his finger, his tone somewhat disgusted.
"Why would I give you up for him? What could I possibly want from him? His family is rich, but mine isn't? In terms of looks and temperament, can he compare to you?"
Upon seeing Gu Qingfeng, Faye Wong remained silent, seemingly trying to come up with a reason. But upon seeing Gogeta and hearing his familiar tone, Faye Wong quickly realized that this was indeed Gu Qingfeng.
Although she didn't know how Gu Qingfeng did it, there was no doubt about Gogeta's power, and she finally understood what that person meant by that.
But after thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of a better excuse, so she could only try to appeal to Gu Qingfeng's emotions and make him remember how good she had been to him.
Looking at the lovely woman in his arms, Gu Qingfeng's face showed a struggle, but he had to admit that Faye Wong was very beautiful.
He initially pursued her because of her looks, but as time went on, Faye Wong's care for him deeply touched his heart.
Betrayal is betrayal, it's a matter of principle, but he had no evidence, and he was at his wit's end.
[A task has been released in the chat group to help the administrator, "Dimensional Strongest," uncover Faye Wong's inner secrets.]
