It's because everyone underestimated Mo Bufan, the security guard. When Mo Bufan started absorbing the properties of the Li family and gained more allies, it was already too late for Li Yun to face him.
So now that the elder is calling and has particularly emphasized Mo Bufan, someone must have told him what happened.
There's no doubt, Mo Bufan must have sought reinforcements and received support from the elder.
"This is what happened, Mo Bufan..."
Li Yun recounted the conflict between him and Mo Bufan, also mentioning Mo Bufan's identity.
The Li family, in their previous situation, didn't pay attention to Mo Bufan, which led to the destruction of the entire family.
Now that Li Yun has arrived, things are different.
With the system of the supreme villain on his side and the backing of the entire Li family, he is not afraid of Mo Bufan.
Still, Li Yun did not let his guard down. As they say, even a lion hunts a rabbit with all its strength; Mo Bufan, being the protagonist, is the biggest variable.
"How arrogant!"
"How dare he break my grandson's legs? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I will destroy him!"
Li Ruiguo, on the other side of the phone, was furious when he heard that Mo Bufan had dared to break Li Mingshun's legs.
He didn't care if Mo Bufan was the King of the supreme palace or how deep his background was; he had to destroy him.
Upon hearing the elder's fury, Li Yun understood why everyone in the Li family was so arrogant. That attitude came from the elder.
Li Yun disagreed with Li Ruiguo and said against him: "Father, my thoughts are completely opposite to yours. I want to release Mo Bufan."
"What?"
"Did I hear that right?"
"Your son's legs were broken, and you don't seek revenge, but you want to release the culprit? Li Yun, what are you thinking?"
Li Ruiguo doubted he had heard correctly. Didn't he know his own son?
He had always been ruthless; those who dared to offend him never had a good ending.
The one who dared to break his son's legs, Li Yun, wouldn't let him go.
But now, Li Yun wanted to release Mo Bufan, making Li Ruiguo doubt whether his son had changed character.
"Mo Bufan must be eliminated, but if we kill him, what will we do with his hundred thousand soldiers?"
"You should know that if those hundred thousand men each bring a bomb to our house, the Li family will be in big trouble."
Aside from fearing Mo Bufan as the protagonist, Li Yun also considered his numerous subordinates a problem.
If the problem is to be solved, they also need to deal with his hundred thousand subordinates. Otherwise, even if they couldn't hurt him, they could kill the members of the Li family.
Li Yun already had a preliminary plan. If successful, not only would he eliminate the problem, but he could also use those hundred thousand soldiers for his own benefit.
"You're right. Those mercenaries are a problem; mishandling them could be like a barrel of gunpowder and lead to the destruction of the Li family."
"Then, do you have a plan to deal with Mo Bufan's subordinates?"
Li Ruiguo wasn't foolish; he could naturally deduce that Li Yun was already planning to confront Mo Bufan.
"Yes, I have a preliminary plan."
"By the way, father, I want to know, who asked you to intercede for Mo Bufan?"
Li Yun was very curious. The person who had contacted his father must have a high status, possibly higher than his own.
Throughout the Han Empire, not many people had such status.
"It was General Liu, the second in command of the Military Committee. Years ago, when General Liu was visiting abroad, he was attacked by foreign mercenary assassins, and Mo Bufan, leading the palace subordinates, rescued him. General Liu owes Mo Bufan a favor and promised that, unless Mo Bufan did something that harmed the Han Empire or something that was not permitted by nature, he would definitely help him," said Li Ruiguo.
Mo Bufan had such a connection?
This was not mentioned in the original work.
Perhaps in the original work, Mo Bufan didn't face such great difficulties and didn't need such help. Now, badly injured and imprisoned by him, he had no choice but to play his trump card.
"Since General Liu has come to you, father, let's do this favor."
"However, there are some things that must be made clear. If we release Mo Bufan and he has a conflict with me, Li Yun, let him face me. But if he causes trouble for other members of the Li family or plays with murders, don't blame me for not respecting General Liu."
"Also, General Liu must ensure that palace members don't enter the Han Empire or Jinling city in large numbers. Otherwise, he will have to take full responsibility."
Li Yun took the opportunity to present his conditions.
Since Mo Bufan had already sought reinforcements, even if he disagreed, General Liu would find a way to release Mo Bufan, even forcing the Jinling police to free him.
If it came to that, without eliminating Mo Bufan, he would face a powerful enemy.
It would be better to do the favor and release Mo Bufan.
Even if he released him, so what? No matter how powerful the King Sun Wukong is, he couldn't escape the Buddha's palm; he had his ways of dealing with him.
"In that case, I'll pass your conditions on to General Liu. I'm sure he'll accept your demands."
After hanging up the phone, Li Yun began to think about the next steps.
Releasing Mo Bufan, how would he face him afterward?
Now, Mo Bufan's subordinates in the country had been eliminated by him; the palace would surely send members to help Mo Bufan, and that would be the breaking point.
Li Yun couldn't think of any other methods Mo Bufan might have, aside from his hundred thousand soldiers, to confront him.
...
In a certain military area in the capital.
An old man was sitting in his office with his eyes closed, not speaking, but exuding an authority that inspired fear. Even his followers, who had been with him for a long time, didn't dare to look directly at him.
Suddenly, the elder opened his eyes and looked at the young man beside him, saying: "Xiao Tang, go to the city of Jinling, find someone named Mo Bufan and tell him that the problem has been solved. If he's willing to stay in the Han Empire, we won't say anything, but the empire is a country of laws and discipline, so he should not bring foreign rules here."
"Alright, Mr. Liu!"
"I'm on my way right now!"
The young man named Xiao Tang, upon hearing the order, didn't dare delay and immediately left for Jinling city.
