Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2014 - 2077: Successful Rescue of His Son

How could they dare? The strength that Li Yifei had just shown left them without any will to resist. Wrapped almost entirely by the dark energy of the Dark Maiden, he still managed to break free and tore the Dark Maiden apart alive. Is he even human...?

With just one sentence from Li Yifei, the four were so terrified that their legs trembled. Upon receiving a cold glance from Li Yifei, they scrambled and stumbled their way out, falling countless times along the way.

Li Yifei paid no attention to these small fries. Standing at the door, he listened to the loud crying from inside the villa, and a smile gradually appeared on his previously stiff face.

"That’s my son, even his cries are so loud," Li Yifei muttered to himself, but soon raised his hands to push the door, worried that the prolonged crying might damage the child’s throat.

The villa door opened, and Li Yifei walked in with big strides. He saw a child standing beside the sofa, tears in his eyes as he looked at him. Noticing someone approaching, the child stopped crying, widened his eyes, and stared at Li Yifei, seemingly curious about who this person was. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The child looked exactly like the one in the photo, with features resembling Li Yifei’s when he was young. Confirming that this was the child, Li Yifei breathed a sigh of relief. Before opening the door, he was actually worried about one thing: After all this effort to rescue the child, what if they had swapped him? In that case, he might head straight to the Holy War Organization’s headquarters.

Li Yifei thought for a moment; the child was almost a year old, no wonder he could stand while holding on to things. At this age, he should almost be able to speak, right?

Just as Li Yifei was pondering, the child wobbled and fell onto the carpet with a thud. Li Yifei’s heart tightened, and he was about to rush over to help the child up. But before he could move, he saw the child exert himself, and with little butt sticking up, slowly crawl back up, holding onto the sofa while turning his head to look at him.

Oh, the joy in Li Yifei’s heart was overwhelming. He walked over slowly, hearing the child babble unintelligibly, probably just making sounds. Li Yifei laughed heartily, seeing the child point a tiny finger at him, and he couldn’t hold back anymore, heading towards him.

Kneeling down, Li Yifei stretched out his hands and softly said, "Come to Daddy, let Daddy hold you!"

The child babbled and wasn’t afraid of Li Yifei, staring at him with big eyes. Seeing Li Yifei extend his arms, the child seemed to think for a moment, then slowly took steps towards Li Yifei, with one hand holding onto the sofa.

"Uh, Daddy’s a bit dirty. Wait for a bit on the bed; I’ll go wash up." As the child approached, Li Yifei recalled the intense battle just now, remembering how the maid had been covered in poisonous insects and dark energy. Fearing some residue might be left, he used a nearby blanket to wrap the child and placed him in the crib, then went to the sink to wash up thoroughly.

After returning, Li Yifei picked up the child. As they say, a bond between father and son is strong. The child felt no strangeness being held by him, waving his tiny hands and reaching for his face, seemingly fascinated by his goatee.

"Haha." Li Yifei laughed loudly, took out the phone he carried close to him, turned it on, and took a selfie with his son to send to Su Mengxin.

At the Li family’s place thousands of miles away, Su Mengxin and a few women were unable to sleep. They all knew Li Yifei was going to rescue the child today. Overwhelming concern kept them awake, all staying with Su Mengxin.

The usually lively Chu Xiaoyao and a few women were unusually quiet. The sensible daughter, Li Yufei, held Su Mengxin’s hand, occasionally comforting her, "Mom Su, don’t worry. Daddy will definitely rescue my little brother. Everything will be fine."

Su Mengxin felt her daughter’s comfort and nodded in understanding, yet couldn’t help but worry inside.

When the phone rang, the women in the room were suddenly alert, all eyes on the phone. Li Yufei dashed over to hand the phone to Su Mengxin, and everyone held their breath as she opened it. She saw the selfie sent by Li Yifei and a video. In the video, Li Yifei was holding the child, who was playing with his beard.

Tears welled up in Su Mengxin’s eyes instantly. That was her child, not only in appearance; the mother and child shared the same heart. Seeing the child, she knew immediately it was hers.

After nearly a year of searching, the child was finally found at this moment. It was a journey filled with hardships, even troubling the adults for such a long time. But finally, they found the child.

Li Yifei’s call came through right after, and Su Mengxin hurried to put it on speaker. From the other end came the loud cry of the child and the somewhat flustered voice of Li Yifei, saying, "The child seems hungry. I... I don’t have any milk."

"Honey, where are you? Is there a store nearby? They should have formula. Tell the staff; they should be able to help you prepare some milk," Ye Yunzhu, who was more experienced, quickly suggested, and Ning Xin’er nodded in agreement beside her.

Li Yifei explained his location, thinking about where to find some formula. After a bit of searching, he found some baby supplies, including formula, a bottle, and diapers, in the basket under the baby stroller. Breathing a sigh of relief, he left the phone on speaker and, guided by the women, boiled water, prepared the formula, and checked its temperature. While feeding the child, he also changed the child’s diaper.

At home, the women had smiles on their faces, breathing a sigh of relief, listening to Li Yifei shout over the phone, "This is too smelly; what did our son eat?"

Li Yifei was changing the diaper and discovered the child had defecated. Of course, he shouted exaggeratedly but wasn’t really disgusted by his child. With deft hands, he cleaned the child’s small bottom, changed the diaper, dressed him warmly, and finally relaxed. Picking up the phone, he chatted with the women back home for a while.

"Hubby, is it temporarily safe over there?"

"All good, the Saintess just called, she’s on her way, so the Holy War Organization shouldn’t interfere anymore," Li Yifei replied.

"Damn Holy War Organization!" Lin Qiong and the others couldn’t help but curse.

Xu Yingying stopped the women and said into the phone, "Hubby, if it’s relatively safe, we’ll send our plane over to pick you up. It’s safer to fly our own plane and more convenient!"

"Yeah, I’m coming too. Hubby, wait for me over there!" Su Mengxin couldn’t wait any longer and said from the side.

"We’ll talk about that later. As for the Saintess, we still need to see about that!" Li Yifei said.

Hearing this, the women at home got nervous again, so Li Yifei comforted them, "It’s not as bad as it seems. Although this is their territory, if I truly want to hide, they won’t find me even if they drop dead from exhaustion."

But what about bringing a child? The women thought but didn’t say it out loud. Instead, they began advising Li Yifei on childcare, including how to hold and carry the child, dress him, feed him, and so on.

"Ouch!" While they were talking, Li Yifei suddenly let out a ’scream,’ and the women hurriedly asked what happened. Li Yifei waited a few seconds before saying, "Our son is teething, haha, he bit me when I wasn’t paying attention, and it actually hurt a bit."

"Phew!" The women’s hearts finally settled, and they immediately asked, "How many teeth?"

"Let me see." Li Yifei observed carefully and replied, "Six teeth; two on top and four on the bottom! Very neat."

"Really, six teeth already!" Chu Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise.

This statement once again made the women feel bittersweet, especially Su Mengxin, who, as the child’s biological mother, naturally hoped to be with her child day and night, watching him change every day. "Sigh, what I’ve missed before, Mama will make it up to you when I get back," Su Mengxin thought to herself.

Before hanging up, Su Mengxin and the other women suddenly heard a sound like "Mama" from the phone, which gave them a jolt and then turned into great joy. Su Mengxin’s face also lit up with boundless joy as she immediately responded, and the other mothers chimed in as well.

Li Yifei on the other end of the line was also surprised, but thinking about it, kids at this age are just learning to speak. Maybe someone taught him, or maybe he made the sound by chance. Either way, it’s delightful.

"Alright, mommies are waiting for us. We’ll be back soon. I reckon the Saintess is about to arrive. I’ll discuss some things with her and then start preparing to go home," Li Yifei said.

"Yes, yes, hubby, you stay safe, we’re waiting for you to come back."

After hanging up, Li Yifei looked at the child playing in the stroller. Seeing the child’s smiling face, all his fatigue seemed to vanish instantly, and a boundless strength welled up in his body.

Since he had to wait for the Saintess, Li Yifei was in no rush to leave. He believed the Saintess wouldn’t deceive him in this matter, but he still took time to recover in case of unexpected events.

Over an hour later, when the True Qi in Li Yifei’s body had mostly recovered, the sound of a car came from outside. Li Yifei opened his eyes to see a black Chevrolet SUV driving in. The car stopped in front of the villa, the door opened, and the Saintess stepped out with a suitcase, while the others in the car did not get out.

The Saintess glanced at the marks in front of the villa, also seeing the spot where the dark maid had died. There were no bloodstains, but there were traces like those left after burning. The Saintess pursed her lips and sighed inwardly. There’s a saying in Huaxia—"To lose the chicken and bait the grain," which pretty much sums up the Holy War Organization.

Of course, this also had to do with considerations within the organization. Otherwise, if they really wanted to target Li Yifei, this might not have been the outcome. After all the talk, it ultimately boiled down to the fact that it was the malice within the organization that messed things up.

The Saintess just took a look and kept walking. Seeing the villa doors, she knew Li Yifei and the child were inside waiting for her.

Before knocking, she glanced back at the car, then turned, lifted her hand, and gently knocked on the door.
