Oh …
As Zhao Yu listened to Li Liya's confession, he observed her expression carefully and pondered over every word that she said.
"But …" Li Liya put out her cigarette, closed her eyes, and said, "Xi Wei died, and Long Di came back!
At that time, we found out that Long Di wasn't dead. He was just imprisoned by Xi Wei … "
"Long Di didn't contact my father directly. Instead, he sent Yaksha, who had disappeared for many years, to bring a message to me and my father …" Li Liya said. "Long Di told us that he would come back to us after he finished dealing with the important matters at hand.
"In the end … another unexpected thing happened. Londi actually died as well!"
Zhao Yu frowned slightly. It did sound a little strange.
"Tell me the truth!" Li Liya said. "After learning that Long Di was dead, my father and I were both relieved!
We knew Long Di's methods and character. Although he was old, after he came back, he would definitely become worse. From then on, we would have to live in fear again … "She continued.
"Actually …" Li Liya was a heavy smoker. She lit another cigarette and continued, "We were really tired of those evil things …"
"I really don't understand. Long Di had everything, but what else did he want to pursue in his life?"
"Since Long Di is dead …" Zhao Yu couldn't help but wonder. "Then … Why did you still want to do the Millionaire Building incident?"
"We … Of course we didn't want to … But, what choice did we have?" Li Liya took a deep breath, and her face showed helplessness again.
"You mean …" Zhao Yu said. "The Millionaire Building incident was done by Yaksha?"
"No!" Li Liya hesitated for a full ten seconds, then said to Zhao Yu, "Long Di is dead, but it didn't end there!
"It wasn't until Yaksha found us again that we finally found out that … Someone had already inherited Long Di's position, and … This successor was a person with the same ambition as Long Di!"
"Really?" Zhao Yu asked, pinching his chin. "Who is this person?"
Li Liya shook her head. "I don't know either. However, from this incident alone, I can feel that my brother's successor not only has the same ambition as Long Di, but his methods are even more extreme!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu asked. "What is it?"
"The man you killed with purple paint on his face was one of the leaders of the Yaksha!" Li Liya said, "No one knows his name. My father gave him a code name, Dragon King!
"This person is the main contact person in the Yaksha organization who is in charge of cooperating with us," Li Liya said. "He first found me and my father and conveyed the successor's orders to us.
"He briefly explained the current situation to us and told us that Londi's successor wanted to carry out a major cleansing of the entire system, which is the shuffle I told you about!
"Because after Xi Wei took control of Londi, he obtained too many secrets about us from Londi, and there's a high chance that these secrets have been exposed.
Therefore, they must carry out a great purge to ensure that this huge criminal empire can continue to operate safely!
"So …" Li Liya said bitterly, "They asked us to carry out an attack at the Regal Building, and then take advantage of this incident to kill those who had worked with my father before, and who might have been exposed!
"This way, we can start over again!"
Oh …
Zhao Yu then understood why he hadn't been able to find an obvious murder target among the guests at the charity banquet!
It turned out that he had guessed in the wrong direction.
He had thought that the people that Li Lifu wanted to kill were his competitors, but he didn't expect that he wanted to kill his business partners!
"Just like before," Li Liya said. "My father and I hesitated, but in the end, we accepted the order unconditionally!"
"We knew how scary the Yakshas were. If even the Yakshas were so obedient to the successor's orders, then we didn't dare to take the risk …"
"So, that night, we discussed the specific plan with Dragon King," Li Liya said. "In order to show off his power, the successor specially arranged a virus weapon!"
"Our original plan was to carry out a terrorist attack at the Regal Building. During the attack, my father and I would become the hostages of the criminals."
"Then … They would release the virus in the banquet hall, so that our targets would die along with the other guests in the hall …" Li Liya said.
"Before that, my father specially arranged for some new security guards to enter the building, so that they could be the scapegoats!"
"That way, we could achieve our goal of shuffling the list, but it wouldn't arouse the police's suspicion! It was just like how we used to work together … "
"At that time, I thought that if we really succeeded in shuffling the list, maybe it would be easier in the future. But, I didn't expect that I was still too naive!"
"After we finalized the plan," Li Liya said with a pained expression, "one night, Dragon King appeared in front of my bed in my bedroom …"
"He told me that my father was also on the shuffling list, and that my father would die in the Regal Building …"
At this point, Li Liya's tears once again fell uncontrollably.
"He said that my father had worked with Xi Wei before, so his name must have appeared on Xi Wei's intelligence," Li Liya recalled painfully. "So, only if my father died in the incident, could we be completely rid of the suspicion!"
Wow …
Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows and was shocked. He didn't expect Li Liya to know that Li Fuhao would be beaten to death by the criminals.
Isn't this … too cruel?
"I was scared out of my wits, and my mind went blank!" Li Liya said, trembling. "Dragon King told me that after my father died, I would inherit my father's position, become the new leader of Southeast Asia, and continue to work with them …"
"If I didn't agree, then it wouldn't just be my father who died, but the entire Li family would be written on the purge list. From then on, there would be no more descendants …"
"Woo woo …" Li Liya sobbed a few times, then said, "It was the first time in my life that I was faced with such a difficult choice. But, just like before, my choice wasn't a choice at all. I had no choice at all!"
"Resistance meant death. If I didn't listen to their orders, then the entire Li family would be finished. This kind of thing … It's not like they haven't done it before!"
"I … I really had no choice. I had no choice …" Li Liya sighed in grief and indignation. "I could only watch as my father was beaten to death … Woo woo woo …"
