Chapter 100: Luo Mingde Seeks a Deal with Chen Luo

This time, at Mingxuan Pavilion again, Luo Mingde was seen drinking glass after glass on the table, his unhappy mood evident from his expression.

“That bastard Li Zhong. I shouldn’t have collaborated with him in the first place. He’s utterly heartless,” Luo Mingde couldn’t help but curse angrily. Originally, he was confident that he could take down Ye Chen this time, but it failed due to the Li family’s support for Ye Chen.

“Mr. Luo, it’s actually not difficult to turn Ye Chen and the Li family against each other again,” Chen Luo said calmly to Luo Mingde.

“What’s your plan?” A glint of interest flashed in Luo Mingde’s eyes as he asked.

“You surely wouldn’t believe that Ye Chen genuinely likes Li Ting,” Chen Luo suggested.

These two had indeed registered their marriage, and Ye Chen had become the Li family’s son-in-law. The main reason the Li family helped Ye Chen was because of Li Ting, and it might not have been Li Zhong’s intention. It must be that brainless fool Li Ting who led Li Zhong to help Ye Chen.

Li Zhong must have seen through Ye Chen’s intentions, yet he still chose to help him. It was puzzling how much Li Zhong values his daughter, given her appearance.

“Not only does Ye Chen not like Li Ting, but he also despises her. Currently, Ye Chen’s association with Li Ting is mainly for self-preservation,” Chen Luo explained, and Luo Mingde understood.

“Are you suggesting we stir up conflict between Ye Chen and Li Ting, and once they turn against each other, Ye Chen and the Li family will also become enemies?” A gleam of insight flashed in Luo Mingde’s eyes.

“Exactly, especially if Ye Chen could kill Li Ting, then the relationship between Ye Chen and the Li family, heh.”

“You’re not planning to kill Li Ting and frame Ye Chen, are you? I think we should consider this carefully,” Luo Mingde warned upon hearing the plan, his expression turning serious. “If the murder of Li Ting and the framing are successful, that’s fine, but if the plot fails and gets exposed, Li Zhong will go mad. You might not know, but Li Zhong had two wives. Li Ting is the daughter of his first wife, whom he loved the most. After his first wife died, he devoted everything to Li Ting. As for his second wife and son, Li Zhong doesn’t care much about them.”

The consequences of killing Li Ting were severe. If exposed, they would face a furious Li Zhong.

Li Zhong, currently the head of the Li family, could mobilize all of the family’s resources. His influence within the Li family was much greater than Luo Mingde’s within the Luo family.

Despite being the Luo family’s authority, Luo Mingde faced internal family politics and many who were discontent with his leadership.

“So it’s because of his first wife that he cares so much about Li Ting,” Chen Luo realized the secret.

It seemed necessary to investigate the Li family further; now they were also considered enemies. Anyone who helped Ye Chen was an enemy to Chen Luo.

“If you can’t kill Ye Chen, Mr. Luo, you might want to consider causing a rift between Ye Chen and Li Ting, turning them against each other.”

As they finished their meal and left, Chen Luo reminded Luo Mingde. Anyway, Chen Luo wasn’t optimistic about Luo Mingde’s chances of killing Ye Chen. Even if Ye Chen’s protagonist’s aura was further weakened, it still wouldn’t be easy to kill him.

“I’ll consider it, provided that Ye Chen survives.”

Luo Mingde’s face showed a cold smile. As long as the people provided by Chen Luo were strong enough, Luo Mingde did not think Ye Chen would survive.

Seeing Luo Mingde’s confident demeanor, Chen Luo did not say anything more. Once he faced reality, he would realize that Ye Chen was not so easy to deal with.

Chen Luo was considering how to make the Li family and Ye Chen turn against each other, and even to make the Wang family do the same.

If he could turn these two families against Ye Chen, Ye Chen’s luck would probably be almost exhausted, and his protagonist’s aura would almost lose its effect.

Turning the Li family against Ye Chen could start with Li Ting, but turning the Wang family against him would be difficult since they were staunch supporters of Ye Chen.

Chen Luo had already instructed Bai Meixiang to investigate the detailed information of the two major families. The more he knew, the easier it was to scheme.

After Chen Luo returned, Zhao Xingyuan couldn’t help but be curious and asked about the purpose of Luo Mingde’s invitation to Chen Luo, “What did Luo Mingde discuss with you?”

“Luo Mingde wants to assassinate Ye Chen. He asked me to provide him with manpower.”

“Do you think Luo Mingde has a chance to kill Ye Chen?”

Because Chen Luo regarded Ye Chen as a major enemy, now Zhao Xingyuan also saw Ye Chen as a major enemy, and likewise, Xiao Qingxue also wanted Ye Chen dead.

“No, not to underestimate Luo Mingde, but Ye Chen is not so easy to kill. Do you know why I consider Ye Chen as my biggest enemy? Didn’t you notice anything strange about Ye Chen? Whenever he encounters trouble, there always seems to be a benefactor to help him out of danger, and he always manages to escape in times of crisis, as if destiny itself is aiding him.”

After Chen Luo explained, they realized that it was indeed the case. Every time Ye Chen got into trouble, someone was there to help him
