The death of Sunx Kangping was not merely the demise of an individual; there was definitely a conspiracy involved. Li Yifei felt certain that there was either a person or a force trying to provoke a conflict between the Sunx family and his own Li family.

And even if he did, the many powerful families in the province, all eyeing each other like tigers, would never allow him to benefit in the provincial city.
