I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 763 Brother Control, Bai Mi

Li Ru was supported by everyone and hurried to the main hall. The first thing he saw was this scene.

"white……"

Before he could question the culprit, the ancestor turned around and pointed at the severed finger on the ground with murderous intent, "Whose is it?"

"..."

What madness is this?

Even Li Ru, a shrewd and calculating man, couldn't fathom the twists and turns here. But given his status, he naturally wouldn't let a young man lead him by the nose. Li Ru feigned ignorance of the disastrous scene in the hall and said calmly, "Your Highness has come uninvited and stirred up such a commotion. I wonder how my Li family has offended you?"

Bai Mi sneered, stood up, and slowly approached Li Ru. "Old man, are you deaf? Let me ask you, whose is that severed finger?"

Li Ru narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his head and looked at Bai Mi, "Your Highness, although I have withdrawn from the Privy Council, the contributions I have made to Country S..."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Mi raised his hand and slapped Li Ru away.

"Contribution?" He smiled, his eyes full of hostility.

In Country S, is there anyone who dares to compete with Prince Bai Mian in terms of contributions? If this finger belonged to his ill-fated brother, even the death of the entire Li family would not be enough to atone for his sin.

"!!!" Li Ru's old body fell heavily to the ground.

In Country S, besides the royal family, the Li family reigns supreme. After over a century of development, the Li family's wealth and connections have penetrated the fabric of the nation, making them the epitome of a "neo-feudal" aristocratic family. Through countless marriages, the family has formed complex alliances of interest with numerous traditional aristocrats, senior military officials, and major merchant families.

Li Ru was not only a former prominent member of the Privy Council but also the current patriarch of the Li family. He was already old and had retired from government, and even the Queen treated him with courtesy. How could such a "highly respected" veteran minister be slapped down?!

Everyone in the hall panicked, and the butler even screamed in fear. The hired bodyguards, no longer concerned with the royal dignity, emerged from every corner. The sound of weapons being loaded echoed one after another. In a blink of an eye, countless guns were set up in front of Bai Mi.

Shen Nian was originally angry at Bai Mi's stupidity, but when he saw Li Ru flying out, he was completely stunned.

The most unbelievable thing here is Li Ru. He has lived for seventy years and has never suffered such a great humiliation.

Bai Mi grew up in the midst of bullets and experienced countless assassinations. What he fears least is open confrontation with guns and swords.

He shook his numb palms, took out the pistol from his waist, and pointed it at Li Ru fearlessly, "Want to kill me? Come on? I want to see if you, the Li family, are really that capable that you can hurt the royal family and still remain unscathed."

The atmosphere was tense, yet there was an eerie silence.

"Put your guns down," Li Ru's voice was hoarse, yet filled with unquestionable authority. "You are using force against the royal family. Do you want to destroy the Li family's century-old foundation and be charged with treason?"

The bodyguards looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and lowered their guns slightly.

Bai Mi had expected this outcome. He put away his gun with a smug look on his face and pointed at his finger on the ground, "Whose is it?"

Why does this little lunatic care so much about a severed finger?

Li Ru's face was gloomy. "This is my Li family's family affair. Your Highness, please don't worry about it."

Li family?

So this isn't Shen Guiling?

The anger on Bai Mi's face faded a lot. He turned around and looked at Shen Nian who was lying on the ground. "Isn't this guy a member of the Shen family? He seems to have a good relationship with the Li family?"

Li Ru remained calm, "Your Highness, perhaps you've forgotten that the Li and Shen families are in a marriage alliance. I'm just doing my bit as a host. What's the matter? Did he offend you?"

Bai Mi, "Not really. I heard Shen Guiling is here?"

Li Ru's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Bai Mi calmly, "Are you here for Shen Guiling?"

This was Country S, so he wasn't surprised that Bai Mi knew Shen Guiling's whereabouts. However, smashing the Li family's door just for Shen Guiling was a bit unreasonable.

Bai Mi didn't hide it either. He looked around and said, "I heard that Shen Guiling came to Country S to take his useless brother home. Where is he? Call him out so I can meet him."

"Your Highness is late. Shen Guiling went back last night." Shen Guiling was an important chess piece in the Li family's cause. Li Ru was not sure what Bai Mi meant, so he naturally did not dare to hand her over.

These old foxes don't tell the truth. If Shen Guiling was going to leave so easily, why would that idiot from the Shen family go to so much trouble to send him a message?

Bai Mi raised his eyes calmly, with a hint of warning, "Li Ru, Shen Guiling has brought shame upon our royal family. I will get revenge for this. If you know what's good for you, hand him over immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Ru was leaning on his Qilin cane, showing no intention of backing down.

"For the sake of His Majesty and the Princess, I didn't argue with you. If you continue to be unreasonable, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

"beep--"

Just then, a steady engine sound was heard outside the manor.

A middle-aged man in standard palace uniform, escorted by a team of royal guards, walked into the messy main hall without looking around. He ignored the mess and the tense atmosphere, walked straight to Bai Mi, and bowed deeply.

"Your Highness, the Princess Royal wants to see you. Please come at once." The attendant's voice was steady but unquestionable.

The timing was impeccable.

Bai Mi suddenly thought of something and squinted his eyes at Li Ru. "You contacted my mother?"

Li Ru only then raised his eyelids slightly, meeting Bai Mi's gaze, a hint of coldness appearing on his aged face. "Logically, Your Highness should still be at the hunting grounds at this time. It is really inappropriate to appear here now. Her Majesty the Queen hates deserters the most. Your Highness should quickly figure out how to explain this to your mother."

Bai Mi glanced around the main hall several times with a sinister look in his eyes. He suddenly smiled, not knowing what he was thinking about. "Okay! You wait for me!" After that, he no longer looked at anyone and turned away in a very casual manner.

The attendant clasped his hands together in greeting to Li Ru and followed him with big strides.

Li Ru looked at Bai Mi's figure, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

After leaving the castle, the attendant immediately caught up with him and said, "Your Highness, you are really too reckless this time. The lady is very angry."

Bai Mi pretended not to hear and got into the car and said directly, "Let's go to the palace."

He had originally wanted to show off his power in front of Shen Guiling and make him grateful to him. Since the Li family was so unkind, he could only give this opportunity to the cruel old lady.

She is not as easy to talk to as he is.
