Super Soldier in the City

As Su Mengxin described, Li Yifei seemed to see the appearance of their son too. He held Su Mengxin a bit tighter and said, "Yes, that’s probably how he looks."

"So, hubby, I think you shouldn’t worry about today’s incident. Those people who stole our son have not appeared again after that and vanished without a trace. We’ve sent so many people to search, yet there’s still no news..."

"Do you mean... today’s person might be part of the group who stole our son?"

"It’s precisely because we don’t know who this group is that they could be the ones who took our son, and that’s the hope." At this point, Su Mengxin struggled to calm down, clenching her fist. Whenever she saw Li Yifei playing with the other children at home, she would think of her own child. As a mother, she must have a deeper emotional connection to her child than Li Yifei, the father. But since then, there has not been a single word about the child, and with so much going on at home, Su Mengxin had been unable to focus on searching for him.

Li Yifei sighed in his heart, hugged Su Mengxin, and said, "Mengxin, it’s my fault. I’ve been busy these past times and haven’t searched for the child."

Su Mengxin shook her head and said, "Why blame you? The other side never appears. Even if we mobilize half of Huaxia to search, we may not find him. The world’s so vast, it’s too easy to hide a child, not to mention... kids change every few days, grow too fast..."

Yes, they grow too fast. The older they get, the harder it will be to find him. If he grows to be a teenager, not to mention the years of longing, even if the child stands in front of them, they might not recognize him at all.

Su Mengxin continued, "But... we can’t just stop, so I plan that once the matters at home are settled, I will focus entirely on finding the child, leaving the business to Xu Yingying and the other sisters."

"Alright, once I’m done with this period, I will also look for the child!" Li Yifei said.

Su Mengxin shook her head and said, "You don’t need to look; you have your mission!"

"What?"

Su Mengxin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Worm Removal! Get rid of the witchcraft worm in your body so our family can be more harmonious, avoiding situations like now where things are tantalizingly close yet out of reach!"

"Uh..." Hearing Su Mengxin mention the witchcraft worm, Li Yifei nodded vigorously. He could feel Su Mengxin’s conflicted and saddened heart. At this moment, they needed a reckless and deeply intertwined union, yet she had to resist, and so did he.

Yes, this is indeed a very important matter. Li Yifei nodded and said, "Na Yi and Elder Yao are researching a kind of medicine. If successful, it can temporarily suppress the witchcraft worm. During that time, I can do it..."

"Really?"

"Yes, Na Yi said it herself, and she’s working on it. She’s growing two very crucial herbs at home, but don’t touch them because they’re highly toxic."

"I won’t touch them; tomorrow I will personally thank her."

"Excited, aren’t you?"

Su Mengxin rolled her eyes at him, hugged Li Yifei closer, and wriggled slightly to bring them even closer, saying, "That’s not important, but it also is. Even if there weren’t, I wouldn’t mind, but sometimes I just want to be closer to you, to completely merge as one..."

They talked sweetly all night long, two people who hadn’t seen each other for a long time, embraced and chatted until the wee hours. The birds outside the window and the insects listened to the gossip half the night, occasionally chirping, perhaps discussing the two people inside or maybe just making noise out of boredom.

In the morning, Su Mengxin woke up from Li Yifei’s embrace. Looking at the sleeping man, Su Mengxin’s heart felt warm. No matter how strong or powerful a woman is, she ultimately needs a man, and no matter how brave a man is, he ultimately needs a woman.

Su Mengxin watched for a long time, feeling a little mischievous. She grabbed a few strands of hair and lightly tickled Li Yifei’s nostrils. After a while, Li Yifei didn’t react. Su Mengxin bit her lip and tickled again, finding still no reaction.

A bit puzzled, she pulled back the hair and tickled her own nostrils, immediately feeling ticklish. The withdrawal was slow, and her face twisted for a moment as, two seconds later, she let out a loud sneeze. Luckily, she covered it with her hand, preventing it from spraying all over Li Yifei’s face.

The sneeze brought tears to Su Mengxin’s eyes. She couldn’t understand why she was so ticklish when she tickled herself, yet Li Yifei remained unresponsive. After grabbing a tissue and cleaning her nose, she saw Li Yifei’s face with a smile, looking at her. Su Mengxin understood and playfully hit him, saying, "Bad guy!"

"Bad guy, huh?" Li Yifei raised an eyebrow. Su Mengxin immediately turned around as if to escape, but it was too late. She was pressed down by Li Yifei, and her small mouth was quickly captured.

Half an hour later, the two entwined bodies finally separated. Stopping for now, Su Mengxin had waited a long time for this kiss. Such a long kiss quenched her thirst, making her reluctant to wipe her mouth, instead sticking out her little tongue to lick her lips.

Li Yifei saw her and couldn’t help but kiss her again.

After more than ten minutes, Su Mengxin gently pushed Li Yifei away, turned over and lay on her back, saying, "No more, no more, I’m out of strength."

"Ha, then rest for a while and get ready to get up." Li Yifei leaned in, said no more, but still kissed her on the lips, then whispered, "Darling, hang in there, I will get rid of the Worm soon."

The two didn’t linger in bed for too long. Su Mengxin had things to do, and Li Yifei needed to go to the hospital to bring food to Lin Qiong and Xu Shanshan, who hadn’t come back for two days, and to replace her.

Carrying breakfast, Li Yifei went out the door, arrived at the hospital, took out the food, watched the two women finish eating, Lin Qiong and Xu Shanshan asked about yesterday’s events, both were very worried and angry, especially Lin Qiong, who desperately wanted to be discharged to return to her post and lead the investigation.

Xu Shanshan was equally very angry, both children were dear to her, and the fact that the opposition even targeted the children made Xu Shanshan feel a murderous impulse.

Li Yifei didn’t follow their words; this matter needed investigation, but if the opponent really was an expert who could use True Qi to blur their appearance, then finding them wouldn’t be easy.

"Let’s eat first, step by step."

Lin Qiong shook her head and said, "No, I can’t eat anymore, I am planning to discharge today, at least I won’t stay in this hospital, otherwise you still have to worry about taking care of me."

Xu Shanshan also tapped her chopsticks against the bowl, saying, "Why does everyone seem to have it out for the Li family? This time, we must give them a lesson! A painful lesson!"

The previous kidnapping incident with Meng Xiaofei had already made the Li family furious. Fortunately, Li Yifei chased to Japan and directly killed one of Japan’s two top experts, Yanagio Inujiro. It was thought that this would make those lurking in the shadows coveting the Li family quiet down a bit, but who would have thought this would happen again.

"Eat first, then call the doctor for an examination, when it’s about right, then you can go home, otherwise stay here, no matter how big the matter is, I’m still here, aren’t I?" Li Yifei handed the chopsticks to Lin Qiong and also voiced Su Mengxin’s suspicions.

After hearing Li Yifei’s words, Lin Qiong said, "This possibility can’t be ruled out, it’s even very likely, no way, I can’t sit still, I’m almost growing worms from lying around these days."

"Patience, if the opponent has a purpose, they’ll appear again, but we can’t live in fear every day just because they played dead once." Li Yifei pinched Lin Qiong’s cheek and said, "Let’s eat first, how can I be at ease if your stomach isn’t full?"

Lin Qiong pouted and said, "Oh..."

Beside them, Xu Shanshan was still seething with anger, silently eating without uttering a word, Li Yifei noticed and chuckled, watching the two women finish eating.

After the meal, Lin Qiong insisted on having the doctor check her up, Li Yifei couldn’t argue, so he first checked her with True Qi and found her recovery was faster and better than anticipated. The doctor came over and took Lin Qiong for some examinations, concluding it was a miracle beyond miracles.

If she wanted to be discharged, she could, but should be careful not to pull the wound or do strenuous activities. Upon hearing this, Lin Qiong casually said, "No problem, there’s a hospital at home, I can stay there."

The doctor finally relented, realizing the patient in this room isn’t ordinary; she had a big responsibility.

Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei tidied up the clothes and items brought for Lin Qiong, then went downstairs to handle the discharge paperwork.

Half an hour later, the three returned home, taking Lin Qiong directly to her villa instead of the family’s hospital. From her injury to now only a few days had passed, and the wound had already more than half healed, walking normally posed no problem.

Lin Qiong’s parents heard the news and rushed over to see their daughter, Li Yifei brought them along and told them to stay at home for a while without rushing off; Lin Qiong’s parents agreed.

After settling in, Li Yifei went to the City Bureau, where Song Ranmin was waiting for him in the office. When Li Yifei arrived, after exchanging pleasantries, Song Ranmin said, "This case is tough to investigate, but I have organized our key officers to look into it, now searching city-wide. This kind of malignant case has drawn significant attention from Secretary Song and Mayor Qin, we will do our best to solve it."

The emphasis was on doing their best, not guaranteeing success, not because Song Ranmin was poor at articulating, but before Li Yifei, he dared not make a guarantee, otherwise if the investigation came up empty, what would he say? In another respect, it’s because he was familiar with Li Yifei, hence being straightforward.

Li Yifei understood, nodding, he said, "I’m grateful to Secretary Song and Mayor Qin for their attention. If the Li family can assist in any way, just let me know, I’ll be home most of the time and can promptly arrive."

"That’s great, but there’s no rush, we’ll first investigate, site inspection concluded the opponent brought at least ten kilograms of explosives, this quantity isn’t easily attainable domestically, so now we’re tracing the source of the explosives."
