Two-dimensional pet development system

Chapter 58 The People Behind the Scenes
Li Yingjie returned home with a cold face, exuding a completely different low pressure than usual, which made the servants in the villa tremble.

"Master, drink tea." The maid tremblingly put a cup of hot tea in front of him, and then walked away quickly.

Li Yingjie took a sip from his teacup, his face expressionless, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Dad, I'm back. You...what's the matter?" A rather handsome young man walked into the room quickly. Seeing Li Yingjie's expression, he paused and asked nervously.

Li Yingjie looked up at the young man, his face became a little colder, he put down his teacup and said angrily, "You still know how to come back?"

"Dad, look at what you said, I just went back to the Imperial Capital to play for a few days, and I have to go for that demon girl from the Zhao family's birthday. I'll come back as soon as I'm done." Li Yi smiled embarrassingly. .

"It takes so long to celebrate your birthday? I think you are hanging out with those cronies again! Can you cheer me up a bit? Look at that kid from the Chen family, and the girl from the Zhao family you mentioned. They are already Seventh grade."

Li Yingjie stared at his son with hatred for iron and steel: "What about you? How much thought have I spent on you, how many natural materials and earth treasures have I used for you? I haven't broken through level six yet, and I know how to eat, drink and play all day long. Fishing every day and posting on the net for two days, you still have the face to go back to the imperial capital, your father and I don’t dare to go back to the imperial capital now, you know? It’s a shame!"

"Although it is a peaceful and prosperous age today, the power struggle in the empire has never stopped. The major families are fighting openly and secretly. If they are not careful, they will be replaced by others. How many families have risen and fallen for thousands of years, our Li family has risen only a few hundred In the past year, it seems that the scenery is infinite, but compared with the Chen family and the Zhao family, the background is still far worse."

"For the prosperity and strength of the family, the ancestors of our Li family, your grandfather, and me, which one of them did not try their best to become stronger, make contributions to the empire, and get more holy family members."

"What about you? You are in your 20s, enjoying the glory of the family, what have you done for the family?"

Li Yi bowed his head and accepted the reprimand without saying a word. He knew this old man very well, and defending himself at this time would only arouse even greater anger.

However, he was very curious about what happened, which made this usually easy-talking dad feel like he had eaten gunpowder.

Li Yingjie reprimanded him for a long time, but felt his mouth was dry, so he stopped with a cold snort, and drank tea to moisten his throat.

"Dad, what happened?" Li Yi raised his eyes and glanced quietly, seeing that he seemed to be all right, he asked cautiously.

"It's nothing to do with you. Go and practice hard. I'm not allowed to go out unless I break through to level six." Li Yingjie frowned.

"Just tell me, maybe I can help?" Li Yi insisted.

Li Yingjie stared at his son for a while before he began to speak.

"What? DeWitt is dead?" Li Yi suddenly exclaimed when he heard that DeWitt was killed.

"Do you know this person?" Li Yingjie's face darkened, suppressing the roiling anger in his heart, staring at him sharply, and said word by word: "Tell me clearly, what is your relationship with this black wizard?"

Li Yi looked at his father's eyes as if he was about to kill someone, realized the seriousness of the matter, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes... that guy came to me. I offered some money and said that I would provide him with some convenience. I also said that I was researching a new type of potion. After I succeeded, I would cooperate with me to make money. I saw that he was good at refining potions, so..."

Li Yingjie waved to the servants with a sullen face, and the servants ran out in a panic as if they had been pardoned.

"Snapped!"

When the servants went out, Li Yingjie slapped Li Yi directly on the face.

This slap was so powerful that it stunned Li Yingjie directly. He staggered back two steps and sat down on the ground.

Li Yingjie covered his painful cheeks, stared at Dad in disbelief with his eyes wide open.

His father often reprimanded him, but this was the first time he had done so mercilessly.

"You bastard, do you know what that black wizard is researching?" Li Yingjie's face was livid, pointing at his son on the ground and roaring, his eyes seemed to spew fire, he gritted his teeth and said: "Blood race, he uses blood race as research material." , You evil son, you want our Li family to be buried in your hands!"

Li Yiru was struck by lightning, his whole body was dumbfounded, his face was pale, and he couldn't speak clearly: "This...it's not...possible, then...that bastard told me it was a potion to improve my physique, I..."

"Stupid thing, I...I'll kill you." Li Yingjie was furious, and he raised his hand to make a gesture.

"Dad, I was wrong, I didn't know, I didn't know that bastard was so bold, I just wanted to do something for the family, who would have thought that he would study the blood clan?" Li Yi hurriedly knelt on the ground, frantically kowtow to admit his mistake.

Li Yingjie's raised hand stopped in the air, watching the face of his son in front of him change for a while, he shook his hand resentfully, and sat back with a gloomy face.

"Dad, didn't you say that bastard is dead, and there is nothing left after being burned, so no one will know about it, and it won't have any effect." Li Yi knelt and moved forward a few steps , said in a low voice.

Li Yingjie glanced at him coldly and didn't say anything, but his face became better.

"What's the matter with that kid you mentioned?" Li Yi asked again.

Li Yingjie was silent for a moment, but still told Li Yi the whole thing.

"A potion that can make a person's physique comparable to that of an orc? That guy Devitt really researched this thing? Dad, this is our chance. If we get that potion and give it to His Majesty, it will definitely be a great contribution!" Li Yi stood up, looking excited.

Li Yingjie didn't think so, and he wasn't sure that there was such a potion to improve his physique before, but now he was basically convinced.

In fact, DeWitt didn't study any potions to improve his physique at all, he was just fooling Li Yi.

Chen Luo didn't expect that an excuse he just said casually would lead to such a misunderstanding. It can only be said that a blind cat met a dead mouse.

"Adams is very protective of that kid, and we don't want to touch him, and Adams is stronger than me." Li Yingjie said in a deep voice.

"A brat with no background, as long as we don't show up in person and get someone to take him, then even if Adams came to him, if we don't admit it, will Adams still fight us to death for this kid?" Li Yi A look of disapproval.

Li Yingjie tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers and fell silent.

"Dad, leave this matter to me. Don't worry, for the sake of the family, I will definitely make this matter beautiful." Li Yi said seriously.

Li Yingjie looked up at him and hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "This kid has a very strong magic pet, and he said he has fought against the Iron Armored Dragon. You should investigate his situation first, and then you can do it before it's too late. Be careful about everything."

"Dad, I understand."
