Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1966 - 2029: Conceding and Panic
This person still wants to know Li Yifei’s identity. Chu Xiaoyao sneered and said, "Why ask about identity, you’ll be scared to death if you know."
"Huh?" Brother Lil was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, seemingly not grasping the meaning of the words. Then he heard Li Yifei say, "Brother Lil, right? Do you know Brother Hu?"
"Brother Hu?" Brother Lil furrowed his brow and showed a look of confusion. He shook his head subconsciously and said, "I don’t know!"
Not even knowing Brother Hu, he really was a small-time thug. Li Yifei responded indifferently, just as Brother Lil suddenly shuddered, and said nervously, "The Brother Hu you’re talking about... is it that Brother Hu?"
"Alright, you’re just an insignificant thug, don’t pretend to be a big shot here. If you don’t know who Brother Hu is, I can introduce you!" Li Yifei said.
There are quite a few people in Mile City called Brother Hu, but not many have made a name for themselves. The Brother Hu who has been riding high these years has already moved to the provincial capital to develop; this is known by many thugs, and is also a goal for many thugs. He’s truly a ruthless person.
"Are you talking about Brother Hu? The one who went to the provincial capital?" Brother Lil asked in a raised voice.
"Looks like you know." Li Yifei said.
Oh my god, Brother Lil felt his heart contract. The people in the underworld are pretty well-informed; they all know Brother Hu was forced to leave Mile City by the richest man there, and that he was dealt with quite harshly. However, Brother Hu is still Brother Hu, and it’s said that he’s also a big shot in the provincial capital, having quickly developed his own influence, which is not weaker than others.
This information was told to him by a big brother he knew, whose eyes were full of envy at the time.
"Why... why are you bringing up Brother Hu?" Brother Lil asked with a trembling voice.
Li Yifei glanced at him and said softly, "It was me who drove Brother Hu away."
In a matter of a few words, it was no less than a sudden clap of thunder, directly stunning Brother Lil into silence. He widened his eyes, his jaw moving, but not a word could come out. At this moment, he didn’t even question whether what the other party said was true or false. Brother Lil felt that no one with a normal brain would pretend at a time like this, and the man in front of him was clearly normal, so... At this point, Brother Lil suddenly felt even more terrified, if it was all true, then the person in front of him...
"You... you are Li..." Brother Lil said in a trembling voice.
Li Yifei smiled and said, "The money she owes you, and the money for the vase just now, you can collect from the Li family. But about what happened just now, I need an explanation from you!"
"I... I’m sorry!" Brother Lil, not sure where he got the strength, sprang up and said to Li Yifei, "I was wrong, Mr. Li, I shouldn’t have done that!"
"The explanation I want is not that," Li Yifei shook his head. Brother Lil immediately understood. He gritted his teeth and turned to San Hu and said, "Give me the knife."
"Boss!" San Hu still didn’t understand what was going on, but seeing Brother Lil like that, knowing the opponent’s identity clearly and still being so afraid, then the opponent was definitely not simple. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"Hand it over!" Brother Lil shouted. San Hu pulled out a knife from his back. One look at the blade was enough to know it was very sharp. Brother Lil took it and, without a word, stabbed it into his own thigh, the entire blade plunged in, leaving only the handle. Brother Lil’s head was covered in sweat from the pain, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Li, I’m sorry, it was my mistake, please forgive me."
Chu Nan, standing on the side, was dumbfounded. She had personally seen Brother Lil once force a small-time thug into the same situation, forcing him to stab himself in the thigh for messing up. Yet now... Brother Lil was forced by just a few words from Chu Xiaoyao’s husband to stab himself. What kind of person must he be to have such status and power?
Chu Nan couldn’t figure it out. She instinctively looked over to Chu Xiaoyao, only to find the girl’s expression quite calm. Chu Nan couldn’t help but shake her head, thinking back to that lively little girl from before. She swallowed hard.
Brother Lil stabbed the entire knife into his leg, of course, it hurt, but he gritted his teeth and endured it. He had no choice but to endure; the person opposite was too important. That was the richest man in Mile City, the devil incarnate of the underworld, also the richest man in the entire province, with astonishing influence. If this person targeted him, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger, and Brother Lil would disappear from the face of the earth in an instant.
"Why are you all in a daze? Each person loses a finger, oh no, a whole hand!" Brother Lil glanced at Li Yifei, saw him frown slightly, and quickly corrected himself.
The three lackeys had never seen Brother Lil so panicked before. Hearing he wanted them to chop off their hands, San Hu couldn’t help but say, "Brother Lil, what the hell is going on, why do we have to chop off our hands!"
Brother Lil swung a slap and scolded, "The hell with you, if I tell you to chop, you chop!"
"Forget about cutting off a hand. Just like you, these three people can stab themselves once." Li Yifei said.
Brother Lil nodded eagerly, saying, "Alright, thank you, Mr. Li, for your generosity!"
After speaking, he immediately pulled out the knife, tossed it in front of San Hu, held his leg wound, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Hurry up!"
San Hu was stunned, looking at Brother Lil. He really couldn’t understand; there were four of them on his side, even if the other side could fight, how could they resort to self-harm without any resistance? Were they still part of the gang life, with no courage left? But seeing Brother Lil’s expression, San Hu felt he shouldn’t show off either. Hesitantly picking up the knife, he heard Brother Lil urging him on. Gathering his resolve, San Hu thought of it as just a bad stumble today, and stabbed himself too.
The remaining two hoodlums couldn’t hold out anymore and each stabbed themselves. Brother Lil urged again, "Quickly thank Mr. Li!"
The three underlings endured the pain and quickly said thank you!
Chu Nan had no idea what to do. She thought about how she had also deceived Chu Xiaoyao and her husband. Did she need to stab her own leg too? As soon as she thought of it, Chu Xiaoyao grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Chu Nan, don’t worry. With my husband here, these people won’t dare bother you in the future."
Her voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough for Brother Lil and his group to hear. Brother Lil was almost in tears, gasping for breath, and quickly said, "Rest assured, I absolutely won’t trouble Chu Nan, I promise!"
"Alright, you don’t need to promise anything. Since you’ve already stabbed your own leg, I won’t pursue this matter further today. Just keep a low profile in Mile City in the future and don’t do this kind of thing. Otherwise, next time it won’t be so easy to get off!" Li Yifei finished speaking, waved to Chu Xiaoyao, and said, "Let’s go."
"Okay." Chu Xiaoyao nodded with satisfaction, pulling Chu Nan over to Li Yifei’s side. As they passed Brother Lil, Chu Xiaoyao added, "Consider yourself lucky. My husband is in a good mood today; otherwise, you’d be done for."
"Yes, yes, yes, thank you." Brother Lil quickly nodded. He had doubted Li Yifei’s identity, but in Mile City, he hadn’t heard of anyone daring to impersonate Li Yifei. Li Yifei’s appearance wasn’t hard to verify; Brother Lil could check later. If it turned out to be true, what he did today was worth it. If the other party was fake, he could still find Chu Nan, and the consequences would be more severe then.
Chu Nan gave Brother Lil a complicated look. When Chu Xiaoyao’s husband showed up and beat up Brother Lil’s group, she felt really satisfied. But seeing Brother Lil stab his own leg, Chu Nan became a bit scared.
"Let’s go!" Li Yifei nodded at Chu Nan. When they walked over, Li Yifei also turned around. After walking a few steps, Li Yifei suddenly stopped and turned back, staring at Brother Lil.
Brother Lil momentarily forgot to breathe out of fright. His mouth hung open as he looked at Li Yifei. He gulped loudly, his heart pounding, and instinctively said, "Mr. Li, is there anything else?"
"You can collect the money for her and the antiques at the gate. I won’t hold back such a small amount from you."
After Li Yifei said that, he continued walking. Chu Xiaoyao held Chu Nan’s now sweaty hand and followed him.
It wasn’t until Li Yifei and his two companions disappeared that Brother Lil began to pant heavily, as if someone had been choking him before. With the breath finally restored, Brother Lil suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg, causing him to cry out loud, unable to hold it in any longer.
It was truly painful, Brother Lil thought to himself. Not only him, but the other little brothers who also stabbed their legs were screaming out loud. The few passers-by were scared away in a hurry.
Li Yifei and the two others got into the car. He drove, while Chu Xiaoyao accompanied Chu Nan in the back seat. Through the rearview mirror, Li Yifei glanced at Chu Nan, his gaze falling on Chu Nan and Chu Xiaoyao’s joined hands. The two women were still holding hands, which gave Li Yifei a strange feeling. He remembered that this woman, dressed like a man, was a lesbian.
If his wives wanted to play with each other, Li Yifei could accept it. But if one of his women were with another woman... the thought made Li Yifei shiver. Then he shivered again, the trembling quite noticeable, which Chu Nan in the back seat happened to see, finding it strange.
Sitting in the mini van, Chu Nan held it in for a while and said, "Thank you, thank you both."
"No need to be so polite, Sister Chu Nan. This time they won’t bother you anymore. You can live safely from now on." Chu Xiaoyao turned and said with a smile.
Chu Nan nodded, then immediately remembered something and hurried to say, "Mr. Li... thank you for your help. But you don’t have to pay for that money. I will... find a way to earn it back and repay them soon."
Li Yifei was reversing when he glanced at her in the rearview mirror. Chu Xiaoyao immediately shook Chu Nan’s hand, saying, "Sister Chu Nan, really, there’s no need. Oh, I mean, let my husband hold onto it first. Earn it back slowly, and when you have enough, pay it back then. We won’t charge you any interest."
Chu Xiaoyao wanted to directly say that they didn’t need the money back, that they were helping her. But she stopped herself, recalling that Chu Nan was a very strong-willed woman. Saying it like this might not be well-received.
