My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 277: Chapter 0277: The Dummy Speaks_1
 

Li Ba’s face turned iron blue, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

“The photo must be fake. You’re trying to smear the reputation of the Li Family. No one will believe you,” Li Ba said.

“Yes, yes, the photo must be fake.”

“None of us believe you guys.”

“You’re framing the Li Family.”

The people around them started shouting in support of Li Ba, their allegiance unwavering. However, some of them began to fall silent, subconsciously feeling that things were not so simple.

“If you still don’t believe it, we have a video as proof. Of course, compared to a video, a live broadcast is the most exciting, isn’t it!”

At this, the handsome man suddenly turned and swiftly entered a room, kicking the door open with one foot.

Inside, a man and a woman lay on the bed, naked.

Who could it be other than Li Chunlang and Zhang Yanmei?

“Do you all believe it now?” The handsome man’s mouth curved into a grave smile.

Li Ba, seething with rage, advanced and slapped both of the figures fiercely, left and right across their faces.

That slap woke up Li Chunlang and Zhang Yanmei. They seemed to finally realize what was happening and hurriedly began to dress, but it was too late; everyone had seen everything.

The scene descended into chaos. In the end, Li Ba, unable to face anyone, locked the door to the room, trapping the two inside, before he walked out, ready to settle accounts with them later.

Those who had been vocally supporting Li Ba just moments before now fell silent, unable to utter a single word.

Facts speak louder than words, and nothing said now would make any difference.

Li Ba’s face was ashen.

What public figures fear most is scandal.

Li Ba could imagine that starting tomorrow, the entire province would know what sort of family the illustrious southern martial arts heavyweight, the Li Family, really was. His reputation would be in shambles, and his name disgraced.

“Who exactly are you? What kind of deep hatred do you have against me to frame my family like this?” Li Ba pointed at the handsome man, bellowing angrily.

“Who am I, hahaha, who could I be?”

The handsome man laughed uproariously, his deep laughter seeming to pierce the heavens.

It was more a lament than a mockery.

“Li Ba, you’re naturally promiscuous, and this end is nothing more than you deserve. I’m just someone who couldn’t stand idly by,” the handsome man said.

“What a person who ‘couldn’t stand idly by’ you are, bringing our Li Family to this state. I suppose Xiao Huan and Yuanbin’s deaths also have something to do with you?” Li Ba said coldly.

“One must have evidence for such claims, or I might just accuse you of slander,” the handsome man retorted.

“In that case, let us properly settle this long-standing vendetta. You wanted to spar with me, come on then!”

Li Ba was now utterly humiliated, and the only way to regain face was to thoroughly defeat his opponent and avenge this insult.

It was his only method of revenge at this point.

The two walked to the courtyard, facing each other.

This time, it was no simple sparring. It could very well be a battle to the death.

Ye Xiong stood amidst the crowd, sensing that Li Ba’s and the woman in black’s gazes occasionally fell upon him. At this moment, if he still couldn’t guess the identities of the handsome man and the woman in black, then his life would have been lived in vain.

The handsome man was naturally Li Chunpeng in disguise, and the woman in black was almost certainly the ghost from last night.

It must be said, Chun Peng’s disguise mastery is peerless. Ye Xiong wouldn’t even be certain that he was really Chun Peng if it weren’t for the way he relentlessly pressured Li Ba, with that deep-seated hatred shining from his eyes.

Ye Xiong scanned the crowd for Li Xiangxiang and saw her standing alone, far behind everyone else, looking at everything going on with a blank expression on her face.

From her eyes, Ye Xiong could tell that she had no idea about the handsome man’s identity.

Ye Xiong checked his phone for the time. He had notified Phoenix a while ago, and they should have arrived by now.

Chun Peng probably didn’t know his own exposure; otherwise, he would never dare to confront Li Ba so openly.

Li Ba and the handsome man stood facing each other.

Suddenly, Li Ba let out a loud shout, a strong energy surging through his body, and his bones started to crackle loudly, the sound only made when one’s external cultivation reaches its extreme.

His palms overlapped, changing and alternating rapidly as if a Spirit Snake was on the move; his feet darted left and right, his step pattern unpredictable, exuding immense power.

Li Ba had murderous intentions, and with his attack, he launched into his most powerful signature move, the Dragon Swimming Palm Technique.

The two exchanged blows rapidly on the stage, engaging in swift combat.

Li Ba was, after all, a renowned martial artist, and it was clear that he overpowered the handsome man overall.

Unfortunately, he was obviously getting on in years, and he lacked stamina. Plus, his unbalanced mental state made him fight like a madman.

The handsome man seized on this, dancing around him, refusing to meet his strength head-on.

“Li Ba, you’re even willing to offer your third wife to your son for his pleasure.” The handsome man taunted while fighting. “Is it because you love your son, or simply because you can’t perform anymore? I guess you just can’t do it, after all, you’re over fifty now, spirit willing but flesh weak. Could it be that your wife, in her prime, will go out looking for another man?”

Already boiling with rage, Li Ba lost even more control when insulted like this, attacking even more furiously, like an injured and enraged lion.

However, he was getting older, and it didn’t take long before he was gasping for breath.

For a martial artist of Li Ba’s age, if he couldn’t win quickly, defeat was only a matter of time.

The handsome man was aiming for just this outcome and suddenly kicked, toppling him to the ground.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“This is the power of the Insect Palm Method, nothing more,” the handsome man sneered.

Li Ba stood up and charged at the handsome man once more, only to be kicked down again after a few exchanges.

The handsome man stepped on his chest and said coldly, “Li Ba, you’ve lost.”

Li Ba’s face turned ashen, and he was speechless.

This time, he had utterly failed.

“However, as for your third wife, I’m not interested in worn-out shoes like her,” the handsome man continued thoughtfully. “But since she is beautiful, surely there are many people on the internet who would enjoy her. How about this? I’ll post videos of your son, daughter, wife, and brother online. Let everyone see what goes on inside Li Ba’s family.”

“Who exactly are you, and why do you have such a deep grudge against our family?” Li Ba shouted angrily.

“I told you, I’m just a man who couldn’t stand idly by,” the handsome man replied coldly. “Your actions are simply intolerable to me. That’s why I intervened.”

“Does such revenge truly bring you joy?”

Ye Xiong could no longer hold back and stepped out from the crowd.

Upon seeing Ye Xiong emerge, both the handsome man and the woman in black frowned.

They had been worried about Ye Xiong intervening all along. Thinking he hadn’t recognized the two of them, they now realized he had seen through their disguise long ago.

“Dummy’s talking.”

Those in the crowd who knew Wu Yade were all utterly astonished.
