Chapter 1048 - 1092: Pressure from the Saintess_2
And next, Li Yifei didn’t say much. He only outlined the main points to give Brother Hu a direction, as getting too involved would not only undermine Brother Hu’s capabilities but also drag himself into unnecessary trouble.
Once Brother Hu received Li Yifei’s instructions, he felt confident about taking action. He immediately arranged for his men to cause trouble at Meng Qianjun’s place. His woman had been humiliated by Meng’s men, and he was already seething with rage. If he didn’t strike back, he would lose face as a leader.
Meng Qianjun, on his part, was not willing to show weakness either. Both sides immediately clashed, but Meng didn’t restrain his men, and for the moment, both were engaged in minor skirmishes. However, to the discerning eye, it was clear that a serious conflict was inevitable between Meng Qianjun and Brother Hu—one the outsider trying to establish authority and the other the local force.
As the chief, Lin Qiong was immediately informed of the situation. Knowing that Brother Hu was acting on Li Yifei’s advice complicated things for her. As a police officer, she of course couldn’t allow any gang conflicts, and she intended to eradicate such activities.
Now that both Li Yifei and Meng Qianjun were involved, she really didn’t know what to do.
"Husband, your involvement in these affairs really puts me in a difficult position," Lin Qiong said one evening, her brow furrowed as she spoke to Li Yifei and Song Lianyao.
Li Yifei just smiled unconcernedly and replied, "Wife, you don’t have to worry, just do whatever you need to do. You are a police officer, after all. Do what you must."
"Huh?" Lin Qiong was a bit confused.
Li Yifei lit a cigarette, took a drag, and explained, "My wife is a police officer. How could I step into the underworld? But as for Meng Qianjun, that guy has made it clear he wants to play dirty, and if I don’t respond, it would just show that I’m too weak. It wouldn’t be good for our Li family’s future. He’s just playing a game now and those people are merely his pawns. Eventually, it will come down to who plays smarter."
"I still don’t understand. If I arrest all the troublemakers, including your people, what will you do?"
"Wife, given Meng Qianjun’s current power, even if you want to arrest him, the higher-ups will just let him go. You can’t stop that. And if they let go of Meng Qianjun’s men, they can’t just keep mine. Let’s let Meng Qianjun take the lead now."
