Chapter 2493

The general continued: "As for why we asked you to cooperate, it is because we have a common enemy."

"A common enemy?" Fade Chen squinted his eyes, and then thought of something, "The Hall of Lions?"

The general's expression sank, he nodded and said, "Exactly."

Chen Fei pondered slightly, and then asked: "Can I know why you and the Lion Hall are enemies?"

The general hesitated a little, but finally nodded and said: "This is not a big secret. People who are stronger in Xingcheng have heard of it, so I will not hide it."

"The reason why we are against the Lion Hall is because I, Li Xucheng, am the son of the Lion God of War."

Hearing this, Fade Chen couldn't help being shocked.

"You are the son of Li Yaohui, the Lion God of War? Didn't you say that the Lion God of War has no descendants?" Fade Chen asked.

A stern look flashed in Li Xucheng's eyes, and he said, "That's a rumor deliberately released by He Linyuan of the Lion Hall for so many years."

"He Linyuan?" Fade Chen showed doubts.

Li Xucheng said: "He is the current head of the Lion Hall, and he was once my father's capable general."

"Back then, my father supported Star City's independence from Malaysia, and his prestige was unique in Star City. Some people even elected my father to be the first leader of Star City. But my father didn't want to take an official position, so he refused."

"My father is one of the great contributors to Star City's independence. The Star City officials also value my father quite a lot and have given them a lot of support and benefits."

"However, during the independence struggle in Star City, my father fought several battles with martial arts masters from Malaysia. Although they all won, he also suffered injuries that were difficult to recover from."

"It was the impact of these injuries that my father's strength continued to weaken in his later years, and his control over his subordinates gradually loosened."

"Later, my father's injuries became more and more serious, and my martial arts talent was far inferior to that of my father. Back then, I was only at the middle stage of the heavenly level."

"Father knows that with me like that, I can't lead the Lion Hall he founded. Once he passes away for a hundred years, if I take over from him and serve as the head of the Lion Hall, not only may I not be able to secure my position, but I may also be taken over by others. Overthrow it, and it will end badly in the end.”

Hearing this, Fade Chen nodded.

He very much agrees with the judgment of the Lion God of War. Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible for Li Xucheng to lead the Lion Hall with his mid-level strength.

Li Xucheng sighed softly, and continued: "So, my father finally decided not to hand over the Lion Hall to me to succeed him. Instead, he chose his confidant He Linyuan as the next hall master, and I just acted as the deputy hall master."

"In this way, the influence of lack of authority brought about by my direct succession can be avoided. At the same time, He Linyuan can also secretly assist me, and perhaps return the position of the next hall master to me."

"Of course, this is the most optimistic idea. If my strength and prestige are really not enough, it is also possible to finally choose a talented person to succeed the next Hall Master."

"This was my father's last request before he died. He Linyuan knelt in front of my father's hospital bed and kowtowed in agreement."

"Afterwards, my father passed away, and He Linyuan took over the Lion Hall."

"In the first few years, he still respected me very much, and even placed me above his hall master at certain moments, and directly addressed me as the young master in front of his subordinates."

"I was very moved at the time, and I trusted He Linyuan very much, thinking that he was completely loyal to my father and would help me well."

"But what I didn't expect was that five years later, He Linyuan began to change. At this time, after five years, he has completely controlled the Lion Hall. Therefore, there is no need for him to be in my so-called I'm acting in front of the young master."

"He started to exert his strength, and he directly drove away the people who were loyal to me in the Lion Hall, and finally even wanted to drive me to death."

"Fortunately, my father left behind a group of hidden guards. With their help, I was finally able to escape from He Linyuan's pursuit."

"After He Linyuan learned that I had escaped, he continued to send people to hunt me down. At the same time, he began to use the media and well-known warriors to create momentum to blur my existence, and even spread various rumors about my father."

Speaking of this, Li Xucheng gritted his teeth with deep hatred in his eyes: "Actually, I can understand that he, He Linyuan, wants to control the Lion Hall. After all, he has been the deputy for so many years, and he can become the master at once. The greed for power cannot be taken back at once.”

"But he shouldn't have done anything to me, and shouldn't have betrayed my father. This is something I absolutely cannot tolerate. Even if I die, I will hold him back."

After listening, Fade Chen was silent for a while.

He figured out what happened. It turns out that Li Xucheng is the orthodox heir of the Lion Hall after the Lion God of War.

In this way, the antagonistic relationship between him and the Lion Hall is very credible.

Li Xucheng recovered from his excitement, and his face gradually returned to calm. He looked at Fade Chen and said, "My story is over. Now, Mr. Chen, can you tell me your request?"

Fade Chen smiled and said: "General Li is so sincere, I can't just make demands and do nothing."

"In this way, in order to show the sincerity of cooperation. Let me see General Li first!"

"See a doctor?" General Li showed surprise and doubt.

Fade Chen took out a pair of silver needles and said with a smile, "My other identity besides being a martial artist is that I am a Chinese medicine practitioner. Moreover, my medical skills are not bad."

Li Xucheng looked at Fade Chen, thought for a few seconds, and finally nodded and said, "Then please trouble Mr. Chen."

"General Li, leave me to me." Fade Chen said.

Immediately, Fade checked Li Xucheng's pulse and confirmed that the other person's injuries were mainly in the lungs, and immediately started acupuncture treatment.

After some acupuncture and moxibustion, Fade Chen withdrew the needle and said calmly: "General Li can breathe a little bit now and feel it."

General Li immediately began to secretly get lucky, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, "My injury has healed a lot. It doesn't hurt so much, this—"

"Mr. Chen, no, Doctor Chen, thank you so much, I, I don't know how to thank you." General Li was extremely excited.

Chen Fei smiled and said: "General Li is serious, this is just a little sincerity of mine."

"Moreover, General Li's injury should have been caused by the battle many years ago. Although I can recover now, but to recover, I need a long-term recuperation."

"I'm very satisfied if it can be relieved." Li Xucheng said, and then asked again, "I don't know what Mr. Chen wants to investigate?"

Fade Chen didn't hide anything, and said, "This time, I want to investigate an organization and a person."

"Organization, person?" General Li looked at Fade Chen.
