Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2017 - 2080: Saving Them Is a Must
Just two little girls Li Yifei met a few days ago, how could I feel uncomfortable about that, the Saintess thought somewhat proudly, with a slight curve on her lips.
"It was... our people who did it." Not long after, the person in charge of Seattle in front delivered the message, confirming the identity of the kidnappers. They sounded hesitant on the phone, as if there was more to it, but the Saintess directly said, "If there’s something, just say it."
"Alright then!" The other party was worried Li Yifei might hear, but seeing the Saintess’s firm attitude, they explained, "Saintess, this was an independent operation by internal members of the organization, in cooperation with the military, and another organization was also involved. Kidnapping those two Huaxia people was to get something from their home. I don’t know the details yet."
"The military?" The Saintess frowned. Li Yifei also heard the content clearly while driving, and his eyebrows knit upon hearing this. He didn’t expect that the two young girls he met on the plane would get into such unlucky trouble.
Generally, when the military is involved, things won’t be too simple, especially in a country like the United States, where countless espionage entanglements occur in secret. Li Yifei’s first reaction upon hearing was to suspect whether the families of the two girls might also be spies...
"The military can’t kidnap others without reason." The Saintess quickly replied. She generally didn’t worry much about the military, given her status, and many politicians might even be members of their organization.
"Well... should I catch up with them and understand the situation first? After all, this is a bit troublesome. The people in our organization were only hired to act, and the real intent lies with the military!" The person in charge of Seattle said hesitantly.
"Then go and find out!" The Saintess said with slight impatience.
"Alright, alright!" The other party took the instruction and left.
Later, Li Yifei stopped the car, got out to take a leak, and had a smoke, pondering whether he should get involved in this matter. Technically, his side of things was settled, and he was also carrying a child, so he shouldn’t provoke the American side, especially not the military.
But... Li Yifei thought about the two innocent little girls who had no ulterior motives towards him—granted, it was because I was too handsome, causing them to swoon, but they were worried about me encountering danger, invited me to their home, and hosted me with good food and drinks...
The severity of being kidnapped by ordinary people versus the military is different. What if the two innocent little girls got scared, and Li Yifei felt he couldn’t bear it on his conscience knowing and not rescuing them.
After all, not many people in this world treat others sincerely. In all these years, he’s met only a few.
In this superficial world, having received kindness from the two young girls, Li Yifei felt he should bear this responsibility; otherwise, it would be a bit ungrateful.
His son was in the care of the Saintess, and Li Yifei believed there wouldn’t be an accident this time. He could sense the affection the Saintess had for him, and even the nature of their initial feelings had changed, a transformation Li Yifei noticed long ago.
He fastened his pants, came out, and glanced at the Saintess through the car window. She was looking at him too, but when Li Yifei’s eyes met hers, the Saintess turned away, with a slight pursing of her lips—one would wonder if she blushed, for she peeked at someone using the bathroom.
Back in the car, Li Yifei turned his head and solemnly said to the Saintess, "Yanzi, these two little sisters aren’t just compatriots; they’re my friends. You know the reason, so I have to rescue them. I don’t know why those people kidnapped them, but that’s beside the point for me."
The Saintess smiled and said, "I understand, and I will support you."
"Just take good care of the kid for me; as for the other matters, do what you can, but don’t get too involved—after all, this is my issue." Li Yifei said considerately.
The Saintess rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Your matter... my matter, there’s not much difference."
"Haha, alright, I won’t say much more. You act according to the situation!"
"Yifei, don’t rush into action; let’s understand the situation first, just in case..." The Saintess slightly suggested, and Li Yifei understood as well—what if this was a trap, or those two girls weren’t necessarily good people...
This time, Li Yifei came disguised; not even the women at home knew what he looked like now. When he was on a video call with his family, the women were amazed at his disguise, and outsiders definitely shouldn’t know, especially the two girls he met on the plane. If even this was plotted against him, Li Yifei felt he might as well quit.
"I know, I won’t be reckless." Li Yifei replied.
Driving slowly forward, Li Yifei watched in the rearview mirror how well the Saintess got along with his son, who wasn’t shy at all and treated the Saintess as a close person. So Li Yifei joked, "Yanzi, why don’t you just come home with me."
"Hmm?" The Saintess looked up at Li Yifei.
Li Yifei said, "See how close the kid is to you..."
"Trying to trick me home with the baby? Dream on, I’m not that easy to be deceived."
"This is not a trick; it’s clearly aboveboard." Li Yifei tapped the steering wheel, saying.
At this point, the child was also babbling, even uttering a few "mama" sounds. The Saintess felt a warmth in her heart, pondering if dedicating herself to family life might be nice. However, the Holy War Organization would definitely not be happy, but the Saintess soon frowned, a faint pain in her expression. Her inner demon constrained her, never having fought with Li Yifei, never being defeated by him, the Saintess ultimately couldn’t do it.
Several minutes later, Li Yifei and the Saintess received a message from the Seattle person in charge, who had made contact and sent back some information.
Liang Wei and Yi Mei’er’s family indeed weren’t simple, and Li Yifei’s jaw dropped slightly after hearing. Both families owned large multinational companies with many subsidiaries, and these subsidiaries cooperated with each other. Among them, two companies and their affiliated research units had developed a new type of material that could be used in military applications. This company was in the United States, so it was immediately targeted by the U.S. military.
The price offered by the military was reasonable, but neither family head, Liang Wei’s father nor Yi Mei’er’s father, agreed. Instead, they chose to bring the materials back to their country, thinking of contributing to the nation. This angered the U.S. military, like why—using our country, our researchers, and not selling to us or even bringing it back home!
Moreover, the two girls’ fathers, in a fit of pique, decided to gradually move their companies out of the United States.
"This matter is a bit..." Li Yifei shook his head upon hearing, thinking patriotism is good, but shouldn’t be so unbending? Giving up the company altogether, insistent on returning home? What kind of military product could be in such hot demand?
As a former special forces soldier, Li Yifei had a big passion for military products. After all, modern warfare is about whose equipment is more advanced, whose cost more during a conflict—or rather, who had the fewest casualties. Cutting-edge military products are crucial, just like how the U.S. stirred trouble in Iraq, Afghanistan, or flaunted its prowess worldwide, all on the back of advanced equipment—fighters, long-range bombers, aerial tankers, AWACS, command planes, and so on.
But... a company wouldn’t research such stuff, right? Unless it’s a high-tech product? Li Yifei frowned, thinking if it were a special material enabling upgrades for certain military products, it’d indeed be a target of contention, meaning he should intervene.
But Li Yifei could foresee the Americans wouldn’t give up easily. Those bastards, used to being the world’s hegemon, wanting to meddle in everything.
Meeting such patriotic individuals was necessary; just for their patriotism, he couldn’t stand by and let their daughters suffer. Of course, that’s assuming it’s truly as they said, Li Yifei thought.
Li Yifei thought of this and glanced at the Saintess, who nodded at him, as if to say, whatever decision you make, I will support it.
This was a military intent, but the specific execution was from the Holy War Organization and another group’s members. These people split into two groups, abducting Liang Wei and Yi Mei’er separately, but hadn’t expected to be chased right after the abduction. When the Seattle liaison explained their purpose, the Holy War Organization members among the kidnappers directly refused, claiming they were merely executing a military task and wouldn’t deliver the goods.
The Seattle liaison used the Saintess’s name, and only then did they relent but claimed they were just hired. Saying if it was before the abduction, they could withdraw, but now that the people had been taken, even if the Holy War Organization withdrew, it wouldn’t change anything.
"The Saintess takes this matter seriously, I’d advise you to be sensible..." The Seattle liaison advised.
"Hehe." The other party awkwardly shook their head.
In fact, they were already near the military camp, several kilometers away, and could soon enter.
"Anyway, I’ve passed on the message accurately; you all discuss it yourselves." The Seattle liaison noted they had no plans to release the captives, regardless of even their organization’s own members’ attitude, implying that even the Saintess’s words might not be very effective.
You won’t listen, then it’s got nothing to do with me! the Seattle person thought disgruntledly. He was comfortably at home but suddenly dragged into this mess, feeling quite annoyed.
Two minutes later, Li Yifei’s car approached, spotting a convoy ahead. Li Yifei identified the four identical cars among them, parked his car, and glanced back at his child. The son had just finished nursing, played for a bit, and dozed off again, now nestled in the Saintess’s arms, still clutching her hair persistently, which the Saintess tolerated as if accustomed, not letting him let go despite the pain.
