Chapter 155 The King of Hell Comes Knocking
Miss Li secretly vowed that once she found those who had harmed Brother Rong, she would make them die a horrible death!
Just seven days after Dai Rong was assassinated, when Dai Rong was about to die.
Another confidante of Dai Rong in the martial arts world, Murong Xue, who was known as the "Poison Doctor," rushed to the Li residence from afar after hearing the news that Dai Rong had been poisoned, and cured him of the poison.
Zheng Luoqi and her group also found out about the Li family's situation and learned that Dai Rong's poison had been cured, and it seemed that she had escaped death.
But Zheng Luoqi and his team had no intention of stopping; they planned to infiltrate the Li family and deliver the final blow to Dai Rong.
At this moment, Zheng Luoqi and his group were unaware that although they had failed to kill Dai Rong in their assassination attempt, they had already made a name for themselves.
After all, everyone knew Dai Rong's reputation for being a playboy in the martial arts world. Dai Rong's fame was already quite high in the martial arts world, and the fact that he was almost killed this time also attracted the attention of other martial arts figures.
Those in the martial arts world began to speculate about the identity of this rising star.
At this time, outside the Li residence gate
A magnificent carriage sped towards us from afar.
The carriage curtain was suddenly flung open, and a figure rushed out like a gust of wind. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a beautiful and graceful woman.
He was dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, making him look like a fairy descending to earth.
However, he and the maid beside him were slightly taller, unlike the usual master and servant.
As soon as the woman got out of the car, she kept calling out, "Dai Lang, Dai Lang!" Her voice was urgent and full of endless concern.
Before she could even get close to the gate, the guards at the entrance quickly stepped forward to stop her, their faces grim as they demanded, "Who goes there! How dare you make such a fuss?" They stared warily at the uninvited guest before them.
The woman's eyes were blurry with tears, her face filled with sorrow. Her lips trembled as she answered, "I...I heard that Dai Lang has been poisoned, and I was extremely anxious, so I rushed here to visit him. I am Dai Rong's wife!" As she spoke, glistening tears slid down her fair cheeks, evoking pity in the eyes of all who heard them.
The young lady speaking was actually Zi Sang in disguise, while the maid beside her was Zheng Luoqi in disguise.
The guards were full of doubt, but they had heard of Dai Rong before. After all, Dai Rong was known for his womanizing ways and it was normal for him to have many female confidantes. One had just arrived a few days ago, and now another one had come. However, they could not let her pass easily and it was better to be careful. The guards went to report the matter to Miss Li.
When Miss Li heard that another confidante had arrived, who even claimed to be her wife, she was furious and ordered the guards to bring Zisang and the others in.
Miss Li, whose original name was Li Zhaodi, was the only child of Master Li and his first child. Master Li had struggled for most of his life and thought he could not have children, but suddenly this child came. He thought that his son would inherit his business, but unexpectedly, it was a girl.
So she was named Zhaodi. Zhaodi! Zhaodi! Perhaps it is true that the more people want something, the less likely they are to get it. Since Li Zhaodi was born, no one in the household has been able to have children. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
As Master Li grew old, he gradually accepted the reality and accepted his daughter as she was.
He then began to teach Li Zhaodi how to do business so that she could inherit the family business in the future. Even if she got married in the future, she could only marry into another family. This was Li Yuanwai's requirement for his daughter.
Not long after, Li Zhaodi began to learn how to be a merchant. On one of her merchant trips, she encountered robbers, but Dai Rong rescued her.
At first, Li Zhaodi only regarded Dai Rong as her savior, but as they spent more time together, her opinion of Dai Rong began to change.
Because she found this man to be very special. Dai Rong never thought there was anything wrong with women doing business, never denied her, and even supported her.
Dai Rong never thought there was anything wrong with women showing their faces in public and doing business; on the contrary, she thought Li Zhaodi was very capable.
Gradually, Li Zhaodi fell in love with Dai Rong. The two confessed their feelings to each other and got together. After spending some time together, Li Zhaodi discovered that Dai Rong had many female confidantes.
Different female confidantes would always come knocking on her door. Whenever Li Zhaodi questioned her, Dai Rong would reply, "Zhaozhao, you know I can't let go of any of you. You are all so wonderful."
"Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve your love, but I've realized that I truly love each and every one of you. I want to give you a home, but I know you don't want that, so... that's why I've never said anything."
Li Zhaodi both loved and hated this man. Sometimes she forced herself to adapt to the existence of these female confidantes. After all, Dai Rong was such a good person, it was normal for so many people to like him.
Gradually, Li Zhaodi became unable to accept the increasing number of female confidantes, so she ran away, intending to go back and find someone of equal social standing to marry.
Just a month before her wedding, she never expected that Dai Rong would come to see her. That night, Dai Rong talked to her a lot. He was confessing to her and making many vows, explaining why he had so many female confidantes.
So Li Zhaodi softened and began to think that it wasn't Dai Rong's fault, but rather that he was too kind.
Li Zhaodi then wanted to elope with Dai Rong, but was eventually caught and brought back by Master Li.
Finally, the things that Zheng Luoqi and the others found out in Yangzhou happened.
And then we got to where we are now...
As soon as Zi Sang and Zheng Luoqi entered, Li Zhaodi began to look Zi Sang up and down, thinking to herself: She is indeed a beauty, no wonder Brother Rong likes her.
Li Zhaodi spoke first, asking, "Are you the Miss Tu who claims to be Brother Rong's wife?"
“That’s right! But I’m not claiming it myself. Dai Lang and I are engaged. May I ask who you are?” Zi Sang said, not forgetting to give Li Zhaodi a provocative look.
Watching Zisang's performance from the side, Zheng Luoqi sighed inwardly: Sure enough, professional matters should be left to professionals.
"You say you and Brother Rong are engaged, but do you have any proof? Do you know that Brother Rong is the future son-in-law of the Li family, and he is destined to marry into our family!"
“You’ve only made a private engagement with him, and you’re not even officially married yet, how dare you shamelessly call yourself Brother Rong’s wife? Humph, that’s utterly ridiculous!” Li Zhaodi said, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Zisang.
Faced with Li Zhaodi's questioning, Zisang did not back down. She straightened her body and retorted, "Dai Lang and I have a very deep relationship. Although we have not yet held a wedding ceremony, we have already consummated our marriage and become husband and wife in name and in fact."
"Since that's the truth, what's wrong with me saying I'm Dai Lang's wife? Does the absence of that formal ceremony negate the genuine love between us?"
