Super Soldier in the City

The next day arrived, Li Yifei released Lin Qiong’s hand, and Lin Qiong woke up as well. She didn’t want to disturb Li Yifei, who hadn’t slept in a bed for four nights, sleeping directly beside her bed. Lin Qiong couldn’t dare to move. However, her personality destined her not to express this bluntly but to cherish it silently in her heart.

After waking up, Li Yifei habitually kissed Lin Qiong on the lips, helped her to get up, and went to the bathroom. After finishing, the women in the house brought breakfast. Today, it was Xu Shanshan who came, accompanied by Xu Yingying and Su Mengxin.

After chatting for a few sentences, Su Mengxin said to Li Yifei, "Yifei, today Shanshan will stay with Lin Qiong. You go home to handle some matters. Yingying and I need to make a trip to Lin City and the provincial capital. We may come back very late. Sister Fangqing will go with us, and if it’s too late, we will stay in the provincial capital tonight."

Li Yifei nodded after listening, saying, "All right, be careful and take bodyguards with you."

"Yes, I know. Initially, I wanted Shanshan to go with us, but Shanshan has her tasks. Anyway, basically, no one will target us now," Xu Yingying said.

As for Japan, Li Yifei wasn’t sure if anyone would still target the Li family, but the people from the Yamaguchi Group wouldn’t. Now, Koboto Kobayashi follows Li Yifei’s words without question. As for other organizations, Li Yifei hasn’t provoked many. Either another Unparalleled Expert causes trouble, or it’s Honda Takeshi from the Honda Group met in Dubai.

In fact, what Li Yifei didn’t know was that the Honda Group was almost scared to death. When they found out Honda Takeshi annoyed Golden Eagle in Dubai, the Honda Group’s senior leadership circle was in turmoil. Some even suggested that the Honda Chairman should step down and pass the position to someone else to avoid bringing disaster to the entire group.

This suggestion naturally wasn’t adopted, so recently, the Honda Group intends to get in touch with the elusive Golden Eagle through Koboto Kobayashi of the Yamaguchi Group, hoping to obtain his forgiveness.

They don’t expect Honda Takeshi to be released, only that they won’t cause trouble for the Honda Group. That’s right, Honda Takeshi was ruthlessly abandoned, probably unable to even find a place to cry.

Koboto Kobayashi simply didn’t want to take on this matter, dammit, your son wanted to kill my boss. It’s already gracious enough that I didn’t bring hundreds of people to flatten you, and you want me to ask my boss for forgiveness, what a joke!

But then, they proposed an offer that was hard to refuse: free shares, and original shares at that. With the current assets of the Honda Group, the shares offered could be worth twenty billion US Dollars, which Koboto Kobayashi, who just lost two hundred billion, found hard to resist.

Of course, that two hundred billion wasn’t out of Koboto Kobayashi’s own pocket. It was the entire Yamaguchi Group’s money, but this twenty billion would directly go into his pocket. Once sold, it would be money in hand.

So, after Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying left, Li Yifei received a call from Koboto Kobayashi because of the one-hour time difference. Koboto Kobayashi waited for over an hour to call.

Understanding what Koboto Kobayashi meant, Li Yifei directly asked, "What benefits did they offer you?"

"Uh...the benefit is...I will get free shares worth twenty billion US Dollars," Koboto Kobayashi answered.

Li Yifei laughed and directly said, "Give me the free shares, and I’ll transfer twenty billion US Dollars to you. Check your Swiss Bank account in an hour."

Koboto Kobayashi couldn’t refuse at all. After being stunned for a moment, he figured that initially, he was after the money anyway. It seemed more direct and convenient for Li Yifei to give him the money directly, saving him the trouble of cashing out the shares, so he happily agreed. At the end, he added, "Mr. Golden Eagle, how about...let me give you a discount, fifteen billion US Dollars would be enough."

"No? Then I won’t give you a single cent."

"Ah. No, please, that’s my retirement money..."

"Hanging up, check in an hour," Li Yifei said and hung up the phone while walking out, dialing a number, and said a few sentences in English to arrange everything.

After waiting for an hour in agony, Koboto Kobayashi received a notification that twenty billion US Dollars had indeed arrived, feeling overwhelmed with happiness. Though it was slightly less than two hundred billion, this was money he could call his own.

After the joy, Koboto Kobayashi suddenly broke into a cold sweat because Li Yifei hadn’t mentioned anything about what to do with Honda Takeshi or what would happen to the Honda Group.

The other party had spent such a large sum, not necessarily because they were utterly afraid of Li Yifei, but rather not wanting to entangle with someone like him. Li Yifei still had the Yamaguchi Group under his command. Provoking such a notorious local gangster group would be more trouble than it’s worth.

So, Koboto Kobayashi had to call Li Yifei again to ask about the matter.

Li Yifei tossed an idea over: "The person broke the law in Dubai, it has nothing to do with me. Additionally, the Honda Group has nothing to do with me either, I don’t use their stuff."

Koboto Kobayashi nodded thoughtfully, understanding Li Yifei’s meaning. Li Yifei then said, "About the stocks, transfer them to me later, but don’t make it public just yet."

When Li Yifei got home, he saw Chu Xiaoyao carrying a pile of things back. As usual, Li Yifei was the laborer. This time, he was curious and directly asked Chu Xiaoyao, but the girl just shook her head. Everything was packed in boxes, and Li Yifei couldn’t see inside. When he shook it, he only heard the clattering sounds but couldn’t determine anything specific.

After helping carry them to Chu Xiaoyao’s house, Li Yifei stood at the door for a while, only to be shooed away by Chu Xiaoyao. The little miss was in a bad mood today and even skipped the usual kiss.

Rubbing his lips, Li Yifei pondered whether to find someone to play a kissing game for a while. The house was quite empty today; the women had gone to work, and the mothers were looking after children. It was still early to pay off gambling debts, so Li Yifei wandered over to Na Yi’s place.

After knocking a few times and not hearing a response, Li Yifei sensed she was home. He tugged at the door, found it could be opened, and went inside.

Calling out softly for Na Yi, there was still no response. Li Yifei frowned and walked inside. Na Yi wasn’t on the first floor but on the second floor, though not in the bedroom. As Li Yifei went up, he realized why she hadn’t heard him. The girl was in the bathroom; the sound of running water suggested she had just gotten up and was taking a shower.

Li Yifei turned and went downstairs, but just as he turned, the bathroom door opened. Na Yi was clutching a bath towel to her chest, holding a mop handle, and when she saw it was Li Yifei, she breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, and said, "Oh, it’s... you, Yifei. I thought something got in here and scared me to death... ah!"

A high-decibel scream pierced the air as Na Yi quickly squatted down, clutching her chest. It turned out her bath towel hadn’t been fastened properly, and when she pat her chest earlier, it fell off.

The bath towel fell, revealing her wet body. Li Yifei accidentally looked and saw everything.

Quickly turning around, Li Yifei said, "You continue with your shower, I’ll wait downstairs."

"Okay!" Na Yi replied, hastily closing the door, and a commotion came from inside the bathroom. Li Yifei rubbed his nose and went downstairs.

He was just visiting casually and didn’t expect to coincidentally catch Na Yi showering, feeling a bit embarrassed. Sitting downstairs for a while, Li Yifei plucked two bright red fruit from a plant Na Yi was growing. They looked very appetizing, smelled sweet, and made Li Yifei, who had just eaten breakfast, salivate. He was just about to take a bite when Na Yi shouted loudly, "Don’t eat that, it’s poisonous."

Li Yifei quickly stopped and moved the fruit away from his mouth, turning to ask, "Did you say this fruit is poisonous?"

Na Yi, having changed her clothes, with wet hair draping over her shoulders, walked over to Li Yifei. Cautiously looking at the fruit in Li Yifei’s hand, she said, "Be very careful, the fruit is already ripe and could break at any moment. The juice inside is extremely toxic."

Li Yifei loosened his grip slightly. He didn’t recognize this fruit, and after hearing Na Yi’s warning, he felt a bit skeptical. Is this fruit really that toxic?

"Are you sure?" Li Yifei asked.

Na Yi took a jade box and carefully opened it, gesturing for Li Yifei to place the fruit in it. Li Yifei did so, watching the fruit fall safely into the jade box before Na Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Li Yifei’s confusion, she explained, "This was something Aunt Yao gave me, called a Green Fruit. When ripe, it’s red and extremely toxic. If consumed accidentally, there’s no chance of survival."

"Aunt Yao?"

"Mm... that’s Elder Yao. She asked me to call her Aunt since Elder Yao has no descendants."

Li Yifei let out an "oh," thinking he understood. It was remarkable enough that Yao Lingfu, a woman over a hundred, had a niece under twenty. On the other hand, it showed Yao Lingfu’s fondness for Na Yi, which Li Yifei was happy to see.

"Since it’s so poisonous, why did she give it to you?"

Yao Lingfu closed the jade box and put it back in place before explaining, "Aunt Yao asked me to cultivate it. There’s a possibility it might temporarily suppress the worm inside you, but it needs to be combined with several other medicines. I am cultivating one of them here, and two others need to be found. Aunt is free recently, so she’s looking for them for you."

Hearing that Yao Lingfu had found a way to suppress the worm, even temporarily, Li Yifei was overjoyed. He quickly asked, "Is what you said true?"

"There’s a possibility. It’s a method Aunt Yao found in an ancient text, supposed to deal with the linguist’s kind of worm. But it hasn’t been used in many years, so I’m not sure. We can only try," Na Yi said, pausing before adding, "It’s all my fault. I’m the one who turned you into this, so I want to do something for you."
