Super Soldier in the City

In ten years, with the Li family’s development speed, the strength after ten years would be astonishing, of course, it depends on betting on the right person. Otherwise, it would be in vain.

This right person must be analyzed and guided by Old Master Su, otherwise, Li Yifei analyzing on his own would be a bit strenuous, and he doesn’t have those high-level connections; even if he wanted to pledge allegiance, others might not take him seriously.

This is Li Yifei’s initial thought; as for how to implement it, careful consideration is still necessary.

A family wanting to develop in the long term cannot rely solely on itself; this is true not only in Huaxia but in any country in the world. Li Yifei certainly wouldn’t naively think that as long as he is capable, he can ignore the outside world.

After hearing it, Su Mengxin discussed it with Xu Yingying and said, "Husband, Grandpa didn’t say you should pledge allegiance to anyone; doing so might not be appropriate."

"I’m not trying to pledge allegiance to any party; let’s put it this way, I’m thinking of contributing to the country. This way, even if our family strays a bit in the future, the authorities would likely forgive us."

"I’ll tell Grandpa your thoughts and let him analyze it."

"Go ahead, if I didn’t misunderstand, this was what Grandpa meant."

Su Mengxin turned to call the old man, and Li Yifei patiently waited. It didn’t take long before Su Mengxin called back, somewhat anxiously saying, "Husband, Grandpa said you are being a bit hasty, but the direction is right, you just need to pay attention to the method."

"Explain it in detail."

"Grandpa’s exact words were, this kid understands the reasoning; it’s just in this country, you can’t rely on pledging allegiance to anyone for safety. You must do things for the nation, doing it so flawlessly that no one can criticize you. This way, no one will say anything about you in the future."

"Haha, I understand." Hearing this, Li Yifei’s heart suddenly felt clear; at Grandpa’s position, many things can’t be openly stated, but it already made Li Yifei understand what he should do.

With confidence and direction in his heart, he said to Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying, "I need to check some information and will tell you later."

"Don’t tire yourself too much, husband; this is not something that can be solved in a short time."

"I know, you too. The family still relies on you. If I can’t go back immediately, let Xiaofei go back first."

"Okay, I’ll pick her up then," said Su Mengxin.

Xu Yingying also said, "I’ll go explain to Shanshan over there; husband, you focus on handling the important matters first."

After talking for a while, Li Yifei hung up the phone, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then took out his computer, logged into a secret website, inputted his account and password, and after several layers, entered the site and started seriously looking up information.

It concerns the future of the Li family, a matter more important than many others. Li Yifei had considered such matters before; he couldn’t rely on Old Master Su for his entire life. At the old man’s age, to put it bluntly, he might meet Marx any day. For the Li family’s development, they still have to rely on themselves.

Therefore, the old man’s meaning is that Li Yifei should rely on his skills to secure a Lifesaving Gold Medal, to avoid getting into trouble if the political situation changes, and to ensure goodwill remains even if things change in the future, making it less likely for the Li family to be troubled.

This is what the old man wishes to see, but he didn’t specifically tell Li Yifei what to do; it requires Li Yifei to ponder himself.

This pondering is not hard; the nation’s affairs requiring Li Yifei to step up, apart from small group battles, mostly involve confidential events where personal Martial strength can be showcased.

Li Yifei happens to be strong in this area. He used more than two hours logging into that secret website, reviewing information, recording everything in his mind. Among them, four or five matters caught Li Yifei’s interest, sensing potential to make a difference, events that Li Yifei believed the capital involved could impress some people and earn him a Lifesaving Gold Medal.

During this time, Meng Xiaofei came over to bring Li Yifei water and fruit. Seeing him engrossed in his work, she quietly left, and only when she heard movement in Li Yifei’s room did she come over, gently knocking. Hearing Li Yifei say, "Come in," Meng Xiaofei walked in and said, "Brother Li, are you done?"

"Yeah, all done, why didn’t you take a nap?" Li Yifei said with a smile, since these past few days, Meng Xiaofei would take naps, some longer, some shorter.

Meng Xiaofei shook her head, pursed her lips, and said, "Without Brother Li accompanying me, I just couldn’t fall asleep."

"Well, now... oh, it’s already this time, so sleep early tonight, and you can sneak over to Brother Li tonight," Li Yifei said softly.

Meng Xiaofei grinned, blinked her eyes twice, and nodded satisfactorily.

Li Yifei’s business, she couldn’t contribute, so she could only avoid causing trouble for him. Hence, she asked with concern, "Will I disturb Brother Li’s work?"

"No worries, almost done," Li Yifei replied.

"That’s good; if you’re busy, don’t mind me. I’m just being a bit spoilt; I’ve gotten used to it over the past few days and can’t change instantly."

Li Yifei raised his hand and gently tapped Meng Xiaofei’s forehead, saying, "It’s okay, when there’s a chance, I’ll accompany you and the others."

Su Mengxin’s call back came a bit late, but she managed to get some directionally significant information, such as recent energy reserves and international affairs that the country is focusing on. With Su Mengxin’s status, she even found some future development policies, which are top secret. However, since she is Su Mengxin, she wouldn’t commit treason; she just wanted to help her husband and her family, so it’s not considered excessive.

"Husband, the mineral reserves in Africa and Oceania have always been a key national focus, and the oil and natural gas in the Middle East are extremely crucial. If we want to do something, these places are essential; however, these are generally handled by state enterprises, we have no advantage if we recklessly intervene, and those enterprises might not be pleased, plus the local powers might not want us interfering."

As Li Yifei listened, he noted it down and heard Su Mengxin continue, "Especially the Middle East, being relatively close to our country with high production of oil and natural gas, yet today this region has frequent war turmoil and because of the intervention of European and American powers, it’s even harder for us to participate. However, taking hold of affairs in this area and then handing it over to the nation is the best for us."

Li Yifei said, "I’ve also checked some things, and it’s said that a state-owned company is currently negotiating a deal with an Arabian country, with Huaxia responsible for building infrastructure and extraction. However, it’s said that there have been some issues with the negotiation, with someone stepping in, causing a stalemate, and the other party preferring to assign the project to another country’s company. So our state-owned company is considering giving up; I was thinking of trying, as I still have some contacts there, maybe they can come in handy. Back then, I even saved a bunch of princes and princesses."

"Princess? You’ve saved them?"

"Yeah, back then on a mission, a few luxury cars were hijacked by terrorists, which was related to our task, so we went, and after rescuing them, I found out, oh man, the carload of people were princes and princesses. At the time, I thought this luck was incredible, how come any random action saved so many princes and princesses. Later, upon checking, the entire Arabian region had over six thousand princes and princesses..."

"Pfft, hahaha." A burst of laughter from a group of women came, evidently, Su Mengxin had put it on speakerphone, so everyone heard it. Originally, when talking of serious matters, mentioning princesses led Su Mengxin to intentionally ask further, as TV shows always depict those princesses as stunningly beautiful and the princes as cartoonishly handsome.

"Alright, everyone is there, huh? Hello, I am your husband, do you miss me?" Li Yifei called out loudly.

Immediately, sounds came from the other side of people talking over each other; it took a while before it quieted down, then Li Yifei said, "I miss you all too. Thank you for your hard work, wives."

Another round of noise ensued, and after they finished speaking, Su Mengxin on the other side said, "Husband, discuss the serious matters first, finish those, then chat."

"It’s not just this one issue; I also know of an African mineral deposit in West Africa that the country has been focusing on. But the nation’s company handling it can no longer continue working because of the unstable situation in that country. If we were to take over, we’d face dangerous conditions and a mess, as well as the danger of dealing with an unstable situation. Simply doing it for the country, there’s no need to risk our necks."

"Silly wife, don’t worry, if there’s an opportunity, I’ll be by your side, as well as theirs."

The call from Su Mengxin was a little late, but she had also gathered some directional data, such as a summary of recent years about the country’s energy reserves and international affairs priorities. With her status, Su Mengxin even managed to find some top-secret policies concerning future development directions. But after all, being Su Mengxin, she wouldn’t betray the nation and was only trying to help her husband and family, which wasn’t too much to ask.

"Husband, the mineral reserves in Africa and Oceania have always been a key national focus, the oil and gas in the Middle East are also crucial, if we want to do something, these places are the most important, but generally, state enterprises handle these things, we have no advantage if we recklessly interfere, and these enterprises might not be happy either. Also, those local forces might not want us involved."

Li Yifei listened while taking notes, as he heard Su Mengxin say, "Especially the Middle East region, relatively close to our country, and their high production of oil, gas, etc., but now the place is frequently at war, plus with the intervention of European and American powers, it’s even more challenging for us to participate. However, if we manage to obtain some of the affairs in this region and hand them over to the country, it would certainly be the best thing for us."

Li Yifei said, "I also checked some things. It is said that a state-owned enterprise is currently negotiating a deal with an Arabian country, where Huaxia will be responsible for building infrastructure and extraction. However, rumor has it that there were some issues during negotiations, and someone else got involved, causing a stalemate. The other party now prefers to hand the project over to another country’s company. So, the state enterprise here is considering giving up. I was thinking of trying myself. I still have some connections over there, maybe I could use them. I even saved a bunch of princes and princesses back in the day."

"Princesses and princes?"

"Yeah, during one of the missions, a few luxury cars were hijacked by terrorists just as it happened on our route, so we went there. After rescuing them, we found out they were all either princes or princesses. At that moment, I thought, what luck, how come any random action led to saving so many princes and princesses. Later, I found out that in the whole of Arabia, there were more than six thousand princes and princesses..."

"Pff, hahaha." A group of women burst out into laughter, apparently Su Mengxin had put it on speaker, so everyone heard. When talking about serious matters, mentioning princesses intentionally prompted Su Mengxin to ask because she had seen on TV how each princess was stunning and each prince striking.

"Alright, you’re all here, aren’t you? Hello, I am your husband, do you miss me?" Li Yifei shouted.

Immediately, a chorus of voices responded from the other side, making noise for a while, and after they finished speaking, Su Mengxin said, "Husband, you first finish the important matters. It’s a big deal if this negotiation succeeds."
