Li Yi might be furious, but if he let this small matter affect his health, it would be a big problem. Furthermore, he was annoyed by a little brat. It would be embarrassing if others found out. As soon as Li Yi arrived at the apartment, he quickly opened the door. The first thing he naturally wanted to do was take a shower.

It has been a long time since anyone dared to plot against him. Li Yi could only feel a burning pain in the invaded area, with redness and unknown fluid constantly flowing out. Enduring the discomfort, Li Yi turned on the shower head and directed a strong jet of cold water towards his body. He forced himself to stay alert and rational, not allowing this trivial matter to cloud his judgment.

After finishing his shower, Li Yi casually walked out of the bathroom wearing only a towel. He took out a can of Qingdao beer from the refrigerator. The chilled beer was refreshing and cool when tasted. Li Yi enjoyed the taste buds of this cheap beer. After taking a few sips, he was about to go back to his room to change clothes.

At this moment, his mobile phone inconveniently rang. Li Yi felt quite irritated at this time. He had thought that if it was a call from some real estate insurance company, he would answer and give them a good scolding. When he got angry, he wanted to curse at them. In order to ensure that nothing would go wrong, he impatiently glanced at the incoming caller ID. Just by looking at it, half of his anger was suppressed.

This phone number was too familiar to him. It was the number that Gu Qi called from. Even though Li Yi was annoyed, he didn't dare to lash out at him because Gu Qi had done him a favor. This was a debt of gratitude that had not been repaid. But now, in Li Yi's eyes, it seemed more like a life-threatening debt. Each time the phone rang, it felt like a reminder to fulfill that debt, and he was afraid that answering it could cost him his life.

"Hello? Qi Ge?" Li Yi knew that Gu Qi wouldn't call him for no reason, so there must be something he wanted to talk about.

"Brother Er, are you free tonight? I want to invite you out for something important. This matter is something only you can do, so please don't refuse me." Gu Qi's words were equivalent to issuing a military order to Li Yi. He had no choice but to go, no matter what the reason was. The key was that he still didn't know what secretive matter he was going to get involved in.

"Is... someone from the Northern District causing trouble for us?" Li Yi's first thought was the old troublemaker from the Northern District. The Southern District and the Northern District had always been at odds with each other. It was the case ten years ago, and it would be the same ten years later.

"No, it has nothing to do with the people from the North District. Second brother, you have already retired from the industry. It is impossible for me to let you handle external matters in the South District again. I just want to invite you to dinner and discuss some personal matters." Gu Qi seemed to have presented Li Yi with a puzzle, leaving him to speculate. Li Yi was in a bad mood and didn't feel like thinking about it, so he could only accept the invitation, thinking that a meal probably wouldn't involve anything significant."

"Alright, tell me a time, and I'll come over tonight," Li Yi rubbed his temples. He still felt a slight headache and after taking a shower, his body felt much better. However, the weather had turned cooler that day, and he wasn't sure if catching a chill from the cold water just now would lead to a cold.

"7:30 in the evening, right inside Gu Family's courtyard," Gu Qi said. After Gu Qi finished speaking, Li Yi hurriedly replied, "Okay." Once Gu Qi hung up the phone, Li Yi quickly ran into his own room.

He began to rummage through the wardrobe to change his clothes. When Li Yi opened the wardrobe, he was a little startled. He found that the suits in his closet had all become a bit shabby. They seemed to be of good quality when he bought them and fit him well when he wore them.
