He didn’t know or care how “Uncle Zhao” reacted.

But the doll-like Little Young Master in front of him, as soon as he was restrained, showed an undisguised look of helpless astonishment.

He looked as though he had never learned any lessons in concealing emotions.

Li Yunhui narrowed his eyes. If this was the kind of child Li Zhengshen liked, then Li Zhengshen was a bigger disappointment than he could have imagined!

Seeing this, the butler’s brow furrowed deeply. “Let go of the Little Young Master!”

As soon as he spoke, two bodyguards immediately strode forward. One grabbed Li Yunhui’s wrist, while the other restrained his shoulder and waist. Without needing to communicate, they worked in perfect sync to subdue Li Yunhui on the ground!

The butler and the bodyguards had all worked alongside Li Zhengshen before.

The butler had once been the third-in-command of Li Zhengshen’s team. After being injured while doing business in a war-torn region, he was placed in the country to raise Li Yunhui.

Therefore, unlike the purely hired butlers on the market in the capital, Butler Zhao was a butler with real family power, one who could genuinely influence and, to a certain extent, represent Li Zhengshen’s views.

The bodyguards had also been brought back from abroad to serve as Li Yunhui’s protection, and their skills were not something an ordinary person could contend with.

Li Yunhui had long anticipated this outcome.

He let out a muffled grunt the moment he was pinned to the ground, clenching his jaw to swallow the rest of the sound. He stubbornly lifted his head, his eyes fixed on the Little Young Master.

He saw the Little Young Master jump in fright at the bodyguards’ actions, his handsome eyes widening suddenly. He subconsciously took a step back, his back hitting the doorframe, looking exactly like a startled little white rabbit.

…A very realistic reaction.

It didn’t seem to have any trace of pretense.

But if that was the case, the joke was even bigger—if this was really Li Zhengshen’s child, even if he liked this kind of “figurine,” he wouldn’t have the ability to raise such a child!

The butler also noticed the change in the Little Young Master’s expression, and his brow furrowed deeply.

Big Brother Li had instructed him to treat and protect this Little Young Master well, especially to prevent him from being bullied by the Eldest Young Master.

So he took a step forward, positioning himself between the Little Young Master and the Eldest Young Master.

He bowed slightly to the Little Young Master and said in a gentle voice, “There’s nothing to see. Go back to your room and rest, Little Young Master.”

The Little Young Master hesitated, looking behind him and asking softly, “Uncle Zhao, that person is…?”

The butler placed a hand on the Little Young Master’s shoulder, turned him around, and personally led him into the house while explaining gently, “That is not important, Little Young Master. I will introduce you when it becomes necessary in the future.”

Lying on the ground, Li Yunhui’s gaze remained fixed, watching as the Little Young Master was turned around by the butler with no power to resist, led into the house like an obedient doll.

He suddenly took a breath and shouted, “How can matters between brothers not be important? Little Young Master, listen up! My name is Li Yunhui, and I’m most likely your older brother. I was just kicked out of the house because I displeased Li Zhengshen!”

As he expected.

Hearing his voice, the Little Young Master couldn’t help but turn his head, wanting to look his way.

The butler frowned in great displeasure, stepping to the side to block the Little Young Master’s view. He turned back himself and said, “Eldest Young Master. The Little Young Master has only just come home today. You must not lead him astray.”

Li Yunhui propped himself up with his shoulder, straining to lift his head, and sneered, “Lead him astray? How would I dare? I’m just using myself as an example to show my dear little brother the consequences of defying Li Zhengshen!”

He drawled loudly, “Good little brother, if you don’t want to end up like me, swept out of the house, you’d better remember to be Li Zhengshen’s good little figurine!”

The Little Young Master couldn’t help but peek out from behind the butler and call out worriedly, “You…”

Before he could finish, the heavy main door of the Li family home was shut completely.

The sounds from both sides were completely cut off.

The butler patted the Little Young Master’s head and said, “Don’t think too much, Little Young Master. Please go and wash up and rest first. Get your spirits up before we talk. I will handle the Eldest Young Master’s affairs; you don’t need to worry too much.”

The Little Young Master was extremely worried and asked, “But… he said he was kicked out of the house? Then what will he eat, where will he live? Will he…”

The butler smiled. “Yes, Little Young Master, but you don’t need to dwell on this problem right now. Please go wash up and rest first.”

Little Young Master: “…”

The Little Young Master lowered his gaze and replied softly, “Oh, okay, Uncle Zhao.”

…

When the main door of the Li family home closed, the bodyguards also released Li Yunhui.

One of the bodyguards asked Li Yunhui in a low voice, “Sorry, Young Master, did we hurt you?”

Li Yunhui waved his hand and, gritting his teeth, pushed himself up from the ground.

His chin was throbbing with a dull ache. He touched it.

Damn, the skin was broken!

The bodyguard who had spoken immediately wanted to get him some medicine and a band-aid, but Li Yunhui stopped him, saying, “It’s just a scratch, no big deal. Don’t get yourself scolded and fired over it.”

Li Yunhui dusted off his clothes, gave the closed door of the Li family home a deep look, snorted lightly, and turned to leave.

Inside the Li family house, there was still one young master and one butler, only the young master had been replaced.

How ridiculous, how absurd!

He picked up his suitcase and walked along the main road outside the Li family home, growing more and more furious the more he thought about it.

It wasn’t the first year or two that Li Zhengshen had opposed his involvement in extreme sports. But all this time, it had been just opposition without any real action. Why had he suddenly gotten serious this time?

And cutting off his allowance was one thing, but on the very day of the deadline, he brings a “Little Young Master” home…

To say there was no connection between the two events, he’d write his name, Li Yunhui, backward!

The more Li Yunhui thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

So he simply stopped on the side of the road, found a flowerbed planter to sit on, and placed his heavy suitcase on top, resting his elbows on it.

He found a number on his phone and dialed it.

The other end picked up quickly. “Hey, Brother Li? Perfect timing! We’re facing some major resistance with the doctors you asked us to look into!”

Li Yunhui raised an eyebrow, pushing his own matters to the back of his mind. “Tell me.”

The other side: “We’ve confirmed the identities and whereabouts of all three doctors, but the problem is, none of them are in the country right now. We really can’t find an opportunity to get close and get information!”

“The doctor from the Capital Hospital who was in charge of Qi Wendong went to the M country for further studies at the end of last year; Doctor Liu, who was in charge of Fang Chengyu for the Fang family, was transferred to be Fang Lian’s personal physician after the incident; and Doctor Yang, who was in charge of Cheng Yiming for the Cheng family, went on a round-the-world trip with his family two months ago. There’s no telling when he’ll be back!”

Li Yunhui muttered under his breath, “…Sure enough, when you’re down on your luck, all the world’s troubles come to kiss you at once…”

The person on the other end didn’t hear clearly. “Brother Li, what did you just say?”

Li Yunhui: “Oh, nothing. I said this is a good thing. Where there’s resistance, there’s a secret. Keep an eye on their movements, don’t lose them. Notify me immediately if any of them return to the country! Be careful not to alert them.”

The person on the other end suddenly chuckled. “Hey, Brother Li, there’s actually another way. How about we take a trip abroad…”

Li Yunhui knew instantly that they wanted a paid vacation.

It would have been fine under normal circumstances, but now? That’s hilarious. He’d been kicked out of his house, and he was supposed to pay for their travel expenses?

Li Yunhui rolled his eyes and said, “Put that on hold. Investigate someone else for me first.”

Li Yunhui detailed the situation with the “Little Young Master.” The person on the other end was shocked. “Damn! Is the ghost story of the ‘mysteriously appearing and mysteriously dying young master’ about to happen to you, Brother Li?”

Li Yunhui sneered and said, “So investigate it for me quickly, thoroughly, and pay attention to the details! I refuse to believe that something can be such a coincidence. If I find out this is a man-made scam… Hah!”

After assigning the task, Li Yunhui hung up and picked up his suitcase, his heart heavy. He looked around at the side of the road, unsure of where to go, and decided to find a place to stay first.

So he made another call.

He had a good friend named Fang Ji.

Since last year, this friend’s reliability had more than doubled. If he called other friends, they might be busy with something and not pick up. But if he called Fang Ji, the call would be answered instantly, without delay. It was no wonder he had earned the nickname “Emergency Xiao Ji” in their circle over the past two years.

Sure enough, the phone was answered quickly.

Li Yunhui lamented, “Ji, I need to talk to you about something. My dad kicked me out…”

Upon hearing this, there was a series of clinks and clanks on the other end of the line, then a voice said, “Hui, hold on a sec, let me look… Ah, found it! My family has a house in the west side of the city that isn’t rented out yet. There’s one in the east side too. The north side… oh, there’s one there too. The south side… oh, also has one! Forget it, just pick one yourself. Where is it convenient for you to live?”

Li Yunhui was deeply moved. “Thanks, brother. I’ll definitely thank you properly once I get through this!”

He quickly moved into the new house. After settling in, the anger of being kicked out of his home surged back.

But it was hard to act without intelligence, so he patiently waited for the information to arrive while sorting through the assets and investment projects he had that his father hadn’t discovered and frozen.

The information came quickly. The next evening, the report on the “Little Young Master” was sent to his email.

Li Shuyun, 18 years old.

Elementary School: XXXX School, L Country.
Middle School: XXXX School, D Country.
University: XXXX University, M Country. He was supposed to have enrolled last year but had not yet reported.

And then he appeared in the country. It seemed he had just landed in the last couple of days and was immediately brought to the Li family home.

The information was not extensive, but the details were real and vivid:

For example, among the students in the same grade and class as Li Shuyun at XXXX School in L Country, someone had posted their class photo on a foreign social media platform, and in it, a child who looked 90% similar to Li Shuyun could indeed be found.

Li Yunhui examined this photo over and over, personally verifying the information online, and carefully comparing the details. The more he looked, the more real it seemed!

…He had learned all of his intelligence skills from his father. When he got serious about intelligence, he had never lost.

For information to be judged as true by him, either the person who fabricated the false information was extremely skilled, or… it was all true information!

True information?

Well, that would be terrible…
