Chapter 690 - 729 Meng Xiaofei’s Background
Li Yifei took Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao with him and left. Brother Hu saw them off to the car, watched them leave, and then stood in the yard without moving for a long time.
This time, meeting with Li Yifei, he didn’t ask how capable Li Yifei really was, nor did Li Yifei say; it was just a promise given to him. It seemed rather unreliable, yet, at this moment, Brother Hu believed it wholeheartedly, which made him feel a bit ridiculous but also very fortunate.
The ridiculous part was how easily he was willing to trust someone now, and unconditionally at that. The fortunate part was that by believing Li Yifei’s promise, he could let go of past worries and fully focus on expanding his business from now on.
Although not a great tycoon now, he no longer lacked money. His social standing, despite ties to the underworld, made him quite a figure in Mile City. However, he was clear that positions gained through black associations were never lasting. Throughout Huaxia, many who thrived in the shadows once stood at their peak, yet eventually, they all fell, one way or another.
To live well, he needed to find a strong backing. However, as the political circle in Huaxia became stricter, officials dared not have many dealings with someone like him involved in the underworld. Especially this time during the national holiday, when he tried to offer gifts to some leaders, they all refused and intended to sever ties, which made him nervous.
He feared he had already been targeted, about to face consequences. Heizi’s arrest made him even more jittery, causing restless nights and almost making him want to flee.
Believing in Li Yifei, though somewhat out of desperation, stemmed from his interactions with Li Yifei. He’d sensed that Li Yifei was far from simple, especially when given that promise; the confidence exuded was the main reason Brother Hu believed.
Taking out his phone, Brother Hu dialed Sunx Dongran’s number. The call connected quickly, and Sunx Dongran eagerly asked, "Brother Hu, is the matter settled?"
Brother Hu replied, "Not yet. I’m planning to act tomorrow. Just notifying you now."
"Act tomorrow, that’s fine too. Damn it, call me when you’ve got him tomorrow. I want to deal with him properly. Damn, he dared to compete for a woman with me. Does he really think I’m easy to mess with?"
