Super Soldier in the City

Li Yifei’s words were recognized by several criminal investigators, and they quickly deduced the brand from the clothes, just an ordinary brand, one or two hundred apiece. From the other person’s physique, Li Yifei also judged that this person and the one from yesterday were the same.

I will catch you! Li Yifei clenched his fist and vowed in his heart that he would catch this person, no matter who he was!

This incident truly shocked the entire city. Although the Li family and the police kept the news sealed, the entire city’s police were mobilized. Every sub-bureau and police station received tasks to inspect hotels, inns, and other facilities within their jurisdictions.

The number of outsiders in Mile City is not small, but not large either, numbering in the tens of thousands, with a greater daily flow of people, making inspections truly not easy. But there was no choice; this matter concerns the Li family and is a particularly serious incident. The opponent is extremely dangerous, possibly a terrorist.

A city-wide search, involving thousands of police, is what the police should do. Regardless of whether the target is the Li family, the Ferris wheel incident is a case of very serious nature. Where did the opponent’s bomb come from? This must be thoroughly investigated. In recent years, Huaxia has done a lot regarding counter-terrorism. Two bombs have consecutively appeared in Mile City, causing a certain degree of social panic, which has also affected people like Song Zhentao. Hence, it’s very necessary for all city police forces to be deployed to track down that terrorist.

The case had just begun to be investigated. Li Yifei, accompanied by the women of his family, was apologizing to Xie Dayong’s parents. The elderly couple had a late-born son and raised Xie Dayong all these years, who should be enjoying their grandchildren, only for their son to be blown up with an incomplete body. Their grief was imaginable.

Li Yifei couldn’t do much. The two elders didn’t blame the Li family, only lamenting that their son’s fate was poor. He suffered so much as a child, then went to the army for several years, and just when things started looking up...

The Li family would take care of the two elders in their old age, fulfilling the filial duties on behalf of Xie Dayong, an obligation that couldn’t be shirked.

After escorting the two elders back to rest, Li Yifei went to the front gate of the Li family residence. The security personnel were dutifully at their posts. Li Yifei looked at the guards’ room that had been cleared, then turned to the hospital to visit the two injured guards. Li Yifei made some promises; the two guards didn’t refuse or excessively say humble words.

The search lasted three days, truly a city-wide manhunt, distributing the appearances of that person’s two sets of clothing across the city. Anyone providing valid information would receive a million yuan from the Li family.

The reward had a good effect. Within three days, more than three hundred people came to provide information, all claiming to have seen the people in those two sets of clothing, all male, but with a large age range, from about fifteen to sixty-five. Upon receiving the information, the police and the Li family sent people to investigate, but after checking these more than three hundred pieces of information one by one, almost all were false leads. Only two pieces of information were verified as possibly true, and Li Yifei personally went to the site to investigate.

One informant reported that a week ago, someone had come to rent his house, saying it was for a year and directly paid a year’s rent. The person was confused and now couldn’t remember what that person looked like, only recalling it was a man about thirty-four years old, maybe older, maybe younger. He was drunk the day he handed over the keys and signed the contract, so he couldn’t remember much.

With the key from that person, Li Yifei and the guards went to the apartment located on the fifteenth floor of a classic district’s high-rise. Upon arrival, the place was deserted, with not many traces inside, and the beddings were neat as if no one had lived there. Li Yifei searched the room for a while and suddenly heard a beeping sound, his heart alarmed, he hurriedly shouted, "Get out quickly!"

The guards didn’t know what happened, but as Li Yifei shouted, they immediately ran out, and Li Yifei also flipped his body and jumped out.

The beeping sounds persisted at a constant rate. After waiting for two minutes, Li Yifei had the guards wait outside while he rushed to the source of the beeping sound. He lifted the mattress to find it was just a sound emitter. Li Yifei carefully checked the surrounding area and found no explosives.

Taking the beeping device, Li Yifei smiled and handed it to the guards who had come in behind him.

The person had most likely hidden here but had left. However, it seemed they anticipated Li Yifei would come, so they set up a fake sound emitter to scare Li Yifei and his team.

Li Yifei left people to continue searching while he returned home. Just as he reached the home entrance, the Li family security approached, saying, "Clan Chief, we were just about to notify you, we received another package, this time without a bomb, but with a letter..."

"Give it to me!" Li Yifei nodded and said.

The letter was handed over, and the writing was peculiar, a letter in traditional Chinese, but some characters were very strange.

"This is the first time, Clan Leader Li, we still have many rounds to play, hope you’ll be this lucky next time."

"Stop the search, I’m gone, will come back to play with you in two months."

Only two sentences, with no more information revealed, only saying they would return in two months, but how credible are these words?

Li Yifei asked, "Have you checked the letter’s origin?"

"It was mailed from the provincial capital, received last night, delivered to Mile City today."

"Have you checked the flight and train surveillance?"

"Currently checking."

"Mm, good." Li Yifei nodded and placed the letter back in the envelope. Over the past few days, Li Yifei had also thought about it. The other party was an expert, and if they deliberately wanted to hide, it would be difficult for ordinary people to find them, no matter how many people there were. Just like the first time Li Yifei went to Japan, he was determined to kill, and no number of Yamaguchi Group members or even the Japanese government could stop him.

And this person, not directly clashing with Li Yifei but playing tricks from the shadows, was actually very troublesome. Li Yifei even considered whether to pretend he left, but secretly stay to protect the family, lurking in the dark waiting for the opponent.

A rival around his level, not confronting him directly but hiding in the shadows to play tricks, such an opponent was truly bothersome.

A few hours later, feedback from the provincial capital arrived. In the morning flight heading south, there appeared a blurry-faced male, using the name Gao Hu, a very common name.

Li Yifei confirmed he didn’t know anyone named Gao Hu. After the flight, the person took a taxi and left, with no further information available.

The direction of the opponent was precisely where Li Yifei originally planned to go, Peng City, because according to Yao Lingfu’s statement, the descendants of the Linguist clan might be hiding there. Though this information.

However, Li Yifei’s people hadn’t yet reported back, and it was not easy to find them, contrary to what Yao Lingfu initially suggested.

The person had left, and Li Yifei couldn’t pursue for the moment. The case had to be put on hold. The opponent said they would come back in two months, so Li Yifei would wait for them then.

Ten days later, Lin Qiong’s gunshot wound had mostly healed. The doctor’s examination also suggested that the previously worried pregnancy issue seemed unnecessary to worry about, although it still required practice, but Li Yifei couldn’t do that now and couldn’t practice it.

Lin Qiong wasn’t aware of this yet, and Li Yifei didn’t plan to tell her. Once Lin Qiong recovered, she couldn’t stay at home, insisting on returning to work, saying she would be responsible for the Li family attack case. Li Yifei couldn’t dissuade her, so he let her, though with three conditions agreed: in such dangerous situations, she must protect herself first. Lin Qiong repeatedly promised before Li Yifei agreed.

Lately, Li Yifei had been staying home. The explosion at the doorstep was gradually passing, and Xie Dayong’s parents were being cared for by the Li family. Li Yifei hoped the elders’ grief of losing their child would ease over time. Additionally, Li Yifei improved the treatment for the Li family’s service personnel, clarifying injury compensations, even posthumous treatments for parents, children, lovers, etc., and publicized these provisions.

The Li family lacked experts; Xu Shanshan was alright. Jiang Ningxiang, though an Innate Expert, had almost no combat ability, only the level, not much real combat experience. Of course, even if Jiang Ningxiang didn’t know any techniques or skills and lacked experience, against ordinary people, there was still no need to worry, as Elder Yao Lingfu had taught the two women some things.

Recently, Xu Shanshan requested to learn various things daily from Li Yifei, such as martial arts techniques and some on-the-spot strategies, learning very diligently, and Li Yifei taught with equal diligence.

Today, after sparring with Li Yifei, Xu Shanshan saw Chu Xiaoyao rushing over with an anxious look, coming before the two and saying, "Hubby, Jiang Ningxiang seems to be giving birth, she was just sent to the hospital for a check by the doctor."

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei’s face showed surprise and joy. Calculating the due date, Jiang Ningxiang was indeed about to give birth. These days, Li Yifei had asked several times, and the doctors said Jiang Ningxiang was in good health and a natural birth should be fine, and Jiang Ningxiang herself insisted on it, so it had come to today.

Hearing Jiang Ningxiang was about to give birth, Li Yifei dropped what he was holding and sprinted off.

Xu Shanshan also excitedly grabbed Chu Xiaoyao and headed to the hospital.

Jiang Ningxiang’s child could be the Li family’s last child for a while. Even if the Worm in Li Yifei has been removed, it would still take ten months to a year for a new member to appear.

The most important point is, Li Yifei is an Innate Expert, and Jiang Ningxiang is too, possessing Innate Vital Energy. After their union, would their child be different from other children? Even Yao Lingfu, Murong Yuanqing, and other elders are very much looking forward to it, for they have never seen the child of two Innate Experts before.
