Editors and Proof Reader: Alterious, Dervish, King of Mortals

After a while, Li Wen's man delivered the book to him. He took the file back to the lounge and then started to read through it.

Similar to Zhang Ryo, his expressions also started to change as he read the data in the file. The more he read, the more bewildered he became. 

"When did I even mess with such a powerful opponent? I don't even remember having a problem with anyone in the past 2 months. Everything was going smoothly, so why?" Li Wen thought as he read the file.

Seeing his father's changing expressions, Lou Wen, the eldest son, asked in a worried tone.

"Dad, is everything alright? Why is your face getting paler."

Li Wen shook his head and then passed the file to Lou Wen. Lou Wen took the file and then started to read it. His expression became similar to Li Wen's. He looked at Li Wen with a horrified expression and asked.

"But when did we even mess with such an opponent? We did not even have any problem with our customers or even someone else. I got no report about anyone being mistreated, so why?"

Li Wen leaned backed on to the sofa weakly and then replied in a low tone.

"I also don't remember angering anyone." Then suddenly, as if he understood something, he sat straight on the sofa and looked at Lou Wen with a frightened expression.

"Unless it's not us who messed with them, but Ye Wen." He said while trying to control his voice.

Lou Wen and everyone else looked at Li Wen and seemed to understand what was going on. From what Li Wen said, everything could be explained. As to why they leaked Ye Wen's video online, They let him have a trial, but when they got to know that he won't be convicted, they decided to just end his life, and on top of that, they used the same type of person to kill Ye Wen as if they were giving a message. 

Lou Wen looked at the file and then Li Wen. He did not know what to do now. After a while, he asked in a trembling voice.

"Will they mess with our family? Would they? I mean, Ye Wen is dead and that chapter is closed." He asked this question to get some hope, but Li Wen just shook his head. 

"I don't know, but from what I understand after dealing with some top families. They won't back down until the Wen family itself is finished. I mean, by helping Ye Wen, we hindered their revenge, so I won't be surprised if they shifted their guns towards us."

Lou Wen listened to Li Wen, who was talking in a helpless voice. Then he slammed his fist on the table and roared.

"That fucking Ye Wen, even after death he is causing trouble for us. If I had known it before, I would have killed him myself." Then he shifted his attention towards Li Wen and said.

"Also, it's your fault too. You could have let him rot in prison, but you wanted to save your precious son. Now see what that has done to us. I am telling you, I won't let anyone take what's mine." Anger had consumed Lou Wen, and he did not even hesitate to point his finger towards his own father. To him, wealth and power was everything. 

Li Wen looked at him, who had shown his true colors and then said with a low roar.

"Shut up, don't forget that he was also your brother. If the same thing had happened to any of you, I would have done the same." After saying this, he sighed and then continued.

"Now is not the time to fight. We should focus on how to survive this storm. They might be powerful, but we are a local snake of City Z. It won't be easy to move us. We will give it all and fight. We will make the other party realize that we are not that easy to deal with, and when the time comes, we can compromise a little. I bet they also won't like to spend their resources on this unnecessary fight."

Lou Wen, whose anger had subsided now, looked at Li Wen and nodded.

"All right, let's do that. We should try to save as much we can. Sorry for before. I just got angry." 

Li Wen did not look at him and said.

"I will contact Zhang to see what we can do, and if he knows anything about the other party and if possible, he can help us negotiate with them."

Then he picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Ryo's number. The bell sounded for a while, and then Zhang Ryo's voice sounded in the room. 

"Li, what can I do for you?"

Li Wen failed to notice the strangeness in Zhang's voice and put the phone on speaker so that everyone could hear what they were saying. 

"Zhang, I just got the file. I know that the situation is dire, and from the data, we understand that this revenge was all directed at Ye Wen, and we won't follow up on this matter. It's just that I wanted to know if you have an understanding of the other party. I mean, if possible, we want to negotiate with them and end this matter. You know no party would gain anything if this fight continues."

No sound came from the speaker for a while, and then after a while, Zhang spoke.

"Li, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't. You messed with someone who can even threaten me. If I move even a finger to help you, my life will be over. I am really sorry, but you are on your own." After saying this, Zhang disconnected the call. 

Li Wen and others looked at the phone with stunned expressions. Zhang Ryo, the pro-Wen family Mayor, rejected them and apologized for not being able to help them. 

He did not make any excuses or whatsoever, he just straight forward rejected them. Li Wen wiped the sweat from his face and then said in a trembling voice.

"Don't worry, I will try to contact him again. It seems that he has encountered some problems." Though he tried to appear calm, he knew that the Wen family was over. Someone who could threaten the Mayor of a 2nd tier city could deal with their family easily. 

Unknown to Li Wen, someone had already started to deal with them as videos of Wen family scandals started to appear on the internet. 

Like the building built by the construction company under Wen family that collapsed and killed more than 50 people. It was due to faulty material but after bribing the officials, it was declared that the building collapsed due to a sinkhole forming underneath the building. 

There was also an incident where a bridge collapsed, which was also built by the Wen family. 10 people died, and 40 were injured, but again it was declared that it was because of a minor earthquake that this happened and that the bridge was not complete. 

There were also some other minor incidents, but these two were on top, and the most terrifying thing was that when 2 private construction experts surveyed the sites and tried to publish a report, they both were killed. 

All these videos started to circulate on the internet, and no censorship was effective enough to control it as it got spread too fast, and everyone was talking about it. 

When Li Wen got to know about this, he knew that they were finished. His sons started to pack whatever they had and transferred money to their foreign accounts. They took their kids and wives and fled the country in a hurry. They did not take much, it was only 2% of their wealth that they could take away, or else they might have been caught because just two days later, the central government moved in, and with the help of Mayor Zhang they started to crack down on the Wen family. 

Their properties were seized, and bank accounts were frozen. As for Li Wen, he was arrested and charged with murder and bribing an official. He was sentenced to life in prison with no payroll. During the whole incident, Li Wen did not say even one word. He just did whatever he was told to do because he knew that if he tried to do anything, it would only get worse. He was still under the impression that he messed with a strong family who held a lot of power. 

Li Wen's sons who fled the country were also charged, but since they fled to a country that did not have an extradition agreement with country C, they could do nothing. 

The man behind all this mess was currently sitting in his room while studying a book that he had borrowed from the library. 

Fu Yan would occasionally glance at the screens in front of him and then shift his attention towards the book. He had lost interest in the Wen family matter after the central government moved in because he knew that this was the end of the Wen family, and he did not need to do anything now. 

While he was reading, his phone started to ring. He picked it up and pressed the answer button.

"Yes!" Fu Yan said in a cold voice.

"Fu Yan, it's me. Fei Hong. I called to report about the meeting that we had with the VP of Google today."

Fu Yan nodded and then said.

"You don't need to tell me that. I already know about it. Don't worry about them for now. Focus on the current matter. Since they have chosen to fight, then we will fight." 

Fei Hong did not reply for a while and then said.

"Ok, I will do as you say. Fu Yan…" She wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What is it? Tell me."

"No, it's just that I feel as if you have changed. Your tone and the way you talk is different from before. I know it does not concern me, but I could not help but ask. Is everything ok?" Fei Hong said with a worried tone.

Fu Yan smiled and replied.

"Everything is ok. Thanks for worrying about me." 

"Well, if you say so, then I will get back to work." Fei Hong said and then disconnected the call. 

Fu Yan placed the phone in front of him and then muttered.

"I have changed, but I don't feel any different. Maybe she misunderstood. Anyway, Google did as I had expected that they would. There was no surprise there. A big company wants to kill a smaller one, a dragon fearing a sparrow who is still learning to fly."

Fu Yan smiled and then placed the book on the table. He stood up and then looked towards the data on the screen. It was a new plan that he was forming while he was dealing with the Wen family. He did not just waste all his time on them.

He placed his hand on the screen and then said with a confident tone.

"Well, if you are a Dragon then I will be a Dragon Slayer. It's the start of the new journey."
