Yes.
The young man, who appeared at the entrance of the Du family's old residence with seven people and more than ten wreaths, was precisely Li Qianfan, who had almost been ambushed by Du Wei.
More than a month ago.
When Li Qianfan held a large press conference outside the "Famous Ladies Disco," many from the thirteen families were among the crowd and witnessed his exceptionally flamboyant performance.
Du Liang and several other Du family disciples were also present at the time.
Therefore, it was only natural for them to recognize him upon seeing Li Qianfan.
"Yes, I am Li Qianfan, who was almost shot dead by a Du family disciple."
Li Qianfan, with a look of a smile yet not a smile, slowly walked up to Du Liang and scrutinized him. "You, who are you to the Du family?"
"I am Du Liang!"
Du Liang not only answered with a resounding voice but also looked at Li Qianfan with eyes as sharp as a falcon's, radiating strong aggression.
"Oh, so you are Du Liang, the future heir to the Du family's patriarch."
Li Qianfan nodded and then asked, "Everyone, where are you headed?"
Before Du Liang could answer—
Li Qianfan chuckled again. "Please don't tell me you're here to settle the score with me for Du Wei's death."
Before he finished speaking.
Du Xiang, standing behind Du Liang, stepped forward, his eyes red as he stared intently at Li Qianfan and shouted, "Yes! Anyone, including you, who dares to indiscriminately kill my Du family disciples will pay the most tragic price!"
Li Qianfan's eyebrows arched. "And who might you be?"
"I am Du Wei's biological brother, Du Xiang."
Du Xiang, suppressing the killing intent within him, sneered. "Li Qianfan, I truly don't understand. Who gave you the audacity to kill someone in broad daylight? Do you really think that because your grandmother is Yang Xiao and your mother is Li Wujiang, you can run rampant in the Eastern Land?"
Heh.
Li Qianfan smiled and asked, "Do you want to know the answer?"
Want to—
As Du Xiang opened his mouth to utter the word, Li Qianfan suddenly raised his hand and punched him hard in the throat.
Crack!!
As Li Qianfan's fist struck Du Xiang's throat, the bone immediately let out a chilling cracking sound.
Ugh—
Du Xiang let out a suppressed, piercing scream as he was swiftly flung backward.
Du Liang and the others were stunned.
They were truly dumbfounded.
Even if they were to smash their heads open, they wouldn't have believed that after killing Du Wei, Li Qianfan not only didn't panic and flee or seek help to resolve the situation but instead came to the Du family himself.
Right at the entrance of the Du family's old residence!
Li Qianfan, ignoring Du Liang and the others, and the passersby, shattered Du Xiang's throat with a single punch on the spot!!
"To completely wipe out the Du family is the answer I will give you."
Li Qianfan's expression turned icy as he looked at Du Xiang, who was on his knees, clutching his throat, trembling violently as he approached death, and said softly.
As he spoke, Li Qianfan waved his hand.
Immediately, two of the Li Village's banner bearers rushed towards Du Xiang, holding nylon ropes.
Since Li Qianfan had decided to unleash a massacre, he would naturally adopt the Li family's traditional method of "hanging to death."
Within seconds, Du Xiang's body, his throat shattered and life rapidly extinguished, was hung at the main entrance of the Du family's old residence.
The wind blew—
Du Xiang's body swayed in the wind, and a rustling sound came from below his feet.
It was Li Xiufang and others who had opened up more than ten wreaths and placed them on either side of the old residence's entrance.
"Du Liang, is it?"
Li Qianfan looked at Du Liang, who was now completely dumbfounded, and chuckled. "I've heard for a long time that you are the Du family's future patriarch. You personally control a media company that ranks among the top three in Jiangbei. You incited a large number of bloggers online to smear and falsely accuse me countless times. I've wanted to settle the score with you for a long time, but I never had the opportunity. Since I've encountered you today."
He paused here.
He waved to Li Xiufang and the others and shouted sternly, "Come! Hang all three of them, including Du Liang!"
Li Xiufang and the others, who had been poised for action, immediately charged at Du Liang and the others like wolves.
Du Liang and the others snapped back to reality.
They suddenly realized a profoundly cruel truth.
That Li Qianfan, in broad daylight, dared to kill Du family disciples!
Du Liang and the others also suddenly remembered what Du Feng had said in the main hall at that time.
The gist of it was to ask Elder Du to personally apologize to Li Qianfan!!
However.
No one listened to Du Feng, and they all thought he was betraying them.
Nor did anyone expect that after killing Du Wei, Li Qianfan would still be unsatisfied and come to their door to unleash a massacre!
Du Liang and the others were terrified.
Regretful.
Enlightened!
Too late—
"Li Qianfan! I didn't shoot at you!"
As Du Liang was fitted with a noose around his neck by Li Xiufang and dragged towards the old residence's entrance like a dead dog, he roared.
His roar, however, was abruptly cut short as Li Xiufang and the others suddenly tightened the noose.
Then.
Five corpses, including Du Liang and Du Xiang, were hung above the grand and imposing main gate of the Du family's old residence.
The bodies swayed back and forth in the wind.
The wreaths below rustled in the wind.
Li Qianfan, leading his men, walked slowly into the courtyard of the Du family's old residence amidst the corpses.
In the courtyard of the old residence, seventeen or eighteen people were standing.
It was Elder Du, who had been discussing how to deal with Li Qianfan in the living room, along with Long Yun and others who had come to make a scene.
After hearing the desperate cries of Du Liang and the others before their deaths, they immediately sensed that something was wrong.
They rushed out in a frenzy.
And then they saw the scene of Du Liang and the others hanging at the gate, swaying in the wind.
This scene—
How could it possibly appear in broad daylight!?
Elder Du was stunned.
Long Yun stopped crying.
The other Du family disciples were dumbfounded.
Li Qianfan, emanating an aura of malevolent killing intent, walked up to Elder Du. "Old man, it seems you are the patriarch of the Du family. Let me introduce myself, I am Li Qianfan. I came this time because I heard that Du Wei's wife went to the international branch to make a scene, putting pressure on them to apprehend me, the murderer of Du Wei, and demand atonement for his death. Since you want me dead, I have come to deliver myself."
Elder Du's eyebrows and eyelids twitched violently.
His usually shrewd old eyes were filled with terror, and an even more profound regret and despair.
"I didn't want to be ruthless with you before, not because I was easily bullied."
"And certainly not because I didn't want to get rid of you."
"But because I felt that life was not easy for everyone. I didn't need to be ruthless when I could still bear the trouble you caused me."
"I still held some hope for you before."
"Hoping you would have an epiphany on your own and stop plotting against me. Wouldn't it be better to cherish the present and live your happy lives?"
"But my repeated forbearance only made you more arrogant."
"You even dared to try and shoot me dead at the airport!"
"After I killed you in self-defense, you still made a big fuss to settle the score with me."
"Fine."
"Then we will settle our old and new grievances today."
"Now, Du Liang and the others have all been hanged by me."
Li Qianfan pointed to the gate and asked Elder Du, "Are you satisfied?"
Was Elder Du satisfied?
His lips trembled so violently that he couldn't utter a single word.
Only fear and regret surged like a tide, quickly engulfing him.
In his ears, the words of his youngest son, Du Feng, echoed again!!
Li Qianfan did not care what Elder Du and the others were thinking.
He forcibly suppressed the urge to annihilate all ten-plus of them, including Elder Du, and looked at Long Yun.
Long Yun, who had not hesitated to scratch Du Feng's face in public to avenge her husband, now saw the corpses of Du Liang and the others swaying above the gate. Where was any trace of hatred left?
Long Yun merely instinctively sensed danger when Li Qianfan deliberately looked at her.
A smell of urine quickly spread from her heels.
The face of death was so clear!
Long Yun could no longer bear it, and opened her mouth to shout, "I won't seek revenge on you! From now on, I will never mention seeking revenge for Du Wei again! I swear, I swear to God!!"
This was the Eastern Land.
God, who ruled the heavens of the Western Land, could not hear Long Yun's oath and thus paid no heed to her life or death.
Therefore—
Long Yun's increasingly heart-wrenching wails gradually ceased as Li Xiufang and two others used nylon ropes to hang her above the entrance of the Du family's old residence's main hall.
After hanging Long Yun, Li Qianfan's bloodthirsty gaze slowly swept over Elder Du and the others.
Elder Du remained motionless—
His mind had completely shut down.
"I'm letting you live. You'd better live a long life and continue to oppose me. Next time, I will kill at least six people. I want to see how many people the Du family has to kill."
Li Qianfan, who truly wished to hang the entire Du family, finally gave up on doing so.
After saying these words to Elder Du, he turned and walked out quickly.
The god of slaughter had finally left!
The core members of the Du family, having narrowly escaped death, stood still with Elder Du, remaining motionless.
They no longer even had the basic reaction to call the police.
Screeeech—
A sharp braking sound came from outside the Du family's old residence gate.
Elder Du trembled violently.
Someone beside him cried out in terror, "Li Qianfan is back again!"
No.
The one who had driven here rapidly was Su Nanyin.
Upon seeing Du Liang and the others hanging at the gate, Su Nanyin closed her eyes in pain and murmured, "I'm still... too late."
