Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2213 - 2277: A Major Incident

Li Yifei laughed heartily. Although he didn’t achieve his purpose, he at least learned some attitudes from the higher-ups. But his goal wasn’t really about that. After Wu Qingfeng finished speaking, he said, "Minister Wu, don’t get angry. I don’t mind this matter, but there’s one thing. If you don’t stand up for me, I’ll be completely lost!"

"Is there something that can stump you?" Wu Qingfeng snorted heavily.

Li Yifei chuckled, "Yes, there is. You see, this matter arose because of what happened a few days ago..."

Li Yifei explained the whole Twitter incident, connecting it with logic. He went to the hospital to see a brother who had been shot, met the brother’s sister, and accompanied her to a check-up. As a result, people spread it on Twitter, saying all sorts of things. If Li Yifei handled it personally, it would be easy, but he was worried it would greatly affect Wu Youu. If the authorities dealt with it, it would be different. At least Peking University wouldn’t dare to trouble Wu Youu again. Besides, the matter was just as it seemed, and Li Yifei had a solid footing even if the heavens fell.

After hearing it all, Wu Qingfeng couldn’t help but curse, "What kind of matter is this? I, the Deputy Minister, have to handle such a trivial matter for you?"

"I can handle it myself, but if I speak out, wouldn’t your police lose face? So, you might as well take the initiative, and then boast about how wise and mighty you are..."

"Get lost, I need to report this matter. You probably don’t even realize the magnitude of what you’ve stirred up this time."

"Isn’t it just a few department-level officials getting arrested? Does that even count as news under the emperor’s nose? This kind of thing happens all the time, doesn’t it?" Li Yifei said.

"Department my ass. If it’s not handled well, my job will be at stake. Do you even know how it could affect several top officials!" Wu Qingfeng couldn’t help but say.

"Damn!" Li Yifei almost bit his tongue. He never dreamed it would be like this and quickly waved his hands, saying, "Stop, Minister Wu, I don’t want to hear this. I’m just the guy who accidentally ran into a terrorist and acted righteously. The stuff above has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to hear it, nor do I want to deal with it. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll leave it to you. Let me know when it’s over so I can forward the clarification."

"You bastard!" Wu Qingfeng slammed the phone down, and Li Yifei heaved a sigh of relief on his end. Who would have thought that an unintentional affair would cause such trouble? Hearing about it in the end, Li Yifei even broke out in a cold sweat on the spot. It was rare for anything to cause him to sweat, and this was not something he wanted to hear about in the future.

He could be cocky with Wu Qingfeng or even flaunt a bit with Elder Su, but now he dared not. After all, he was becoming a grandfather. But reaching a certain level, unless Li Yifei didn’t want to stay in this country anymore...

Moreover, if he dared to flaunt recklessly, let alone others, Murong Yuanqing and others would be the first not to tolerate him. This is no joke. Li Yifei wiped his sweat and looked at Wu Youu across from him, who was staring at him, even forgetting to eat the cake. He smiled and asked, "What’s up? Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Um... can I ask, what kind of official is that Minister Wu?" Wu Youu asked softly, as if afraid someone else would hear.

Li Yifei made an "uh" sound and replied softly, "From the Ministry of Public Security... Deputy."

Seeing Wu Youu’s small mouth form an O shape, her pupils enlarged, she said, "Uncle, forgive me for not knowing what to say, but I just think it’s really cool."

"Haha, actually, it’s the same. It’s hard-going and nerve-wracking," Li Yifei said, recalling what Wu Qingfeng had just mentioned, and felt a chill in his heart. He is just a clan chief, supposedly worth billions, as if he has a lot of money, but even with lots of cash flow, it doesn’t go that far. He can flaunt it locally and even influence the province and become a guest of honor in the city and province, but when facing the state machinery, especially in a giant nation like Huaxia, a super power, even if Li Yifei progresses further into a legendary realm, he’d still break out in a cold sweat.

Because there’s really no way to compete, there’s simply no comparison.

Once caught in such level of strife, the little Li family would be obliterated in an instant, with just a few words. Li Yifei isn’t even an official, for crying out loud, and yet he’s involved in this mess. Isn’t this courting death?

So Li Yifei panicked, he wished he hadn’t turned back that day, and gone to catch a flight instead; then there wouldn’t have been any of this follow-up, and no current huge crisis.

It really is a crisis, compared to that little Twitter incident, Li Yifei even thought about calling Wu Qingfeng again to ask him not to... handle the Twitter issue for him.

But... damn it, why am I stupid enough to care about that person.

Shaking his head, and looking at Wu Youu again, seeing the strange look on Li Yifei’s face, she smacked her lips together, felt as if she hadn’t eaten in a while, her mouth feeling a bit lonely, but she didn’t quite feel like eating, and asked, "Uncle, did something happen? I’m not too bothered about the Twitter thing. My life is a bit secluded, and during studies, those things don’t interfere with me!"

"No, don’t worry about that matter. Here’s my phone number. If you run into any trouble, you can call me. If that Zhang Meng dares come after you again, call me immediately. Protect yourself; this society is too dangerous." Li Yifei said, asking for Wu Youu’s number and inputting his phone number into her phone.

Wu Youu nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Uncle."

"Next time we meet, remember to call me ’brother.’ ’Uncle’ makes me sound too old!" Li Yifei said seriously.

"If we meet again, I’ll call you ’brother’!" Wu Youu immediately agreed.

"Alright, let’s eat first. I’ve run into some issues I need to think over," Li Yifei said a bit distractedly.

Wu Youu also noticed his absentmindedness, nodded, and quietly started eating. Although she felt chaotic inside, she devoured her food incredibly quickly. About ten minutes later, both Li Yifei and Wu Youu stopped, having cleaned their plates like a whirlwind.

Watching this foodie devour her meal, Li Yifei found it amusing, especially since she ate so much yet remained slim. Such a physique was quite unique, and Li Yifei almost wanted to give her a thumbs-up.

After they were both full, Li Yifei checked Twitter but hadn’t received any messages from Wu Qingfeng. He wasn’t too anxious about it, deciding to let things simmer a bit.

"Are you going back to take care of your brother?"

"Yes, that’s right. School hasn’t started yet, and I’ve got nothing else going on besides tutoring a few students, so I can look after my brother!"

"With professional medical staff around, you don’t have to exhaust yourself. Besides, your brother... Anyway, I have something else to do later, so I need to go first. I’ll handle the Twitter situation, don’t worry," Li Yifei said.

Wu Youu nodded, waved her hand at Li Yifei, and tilted her head slightly. Li Yifei chuckled, turned around, and left in big strides.

Wu Youu stuck out her little tongue, lightly biting it with her teeth, a mischievous smile on her face. She swayed from side to side, tapping her toe on the ground.

Once Li Yifei’s figure vanished, Wu Youu clenched her small fist and made a cheering gesture, muttering, "So my idol isn’t that hard to approach. Come on!"

Li Yifei took a taxi to Elder Su’s residence. The guards naturally didn’t stop him. As Li Yifei walked in, he saw several women in the courtyard. The smog had cleared a lot today, making the sunlight seem better. Elder Su had come out for a walk. Even though it had been a while since they last met, the old man was in high spirits. Though he appeared more aged, it was unavoidable. Li Yifei hastened his pace, approached Elder Su, knelt to the ground like pushing down golden mountains and toppling jade pillars, and kowtowed three times sincerely, saying, "Wishing you a Happy New Year, Grandpa. May you have the prosperity of the East Sea, long life as the Southern Mountain, strength in old age, good health, and successful descendants."

Elder Su, who initially had a stern face, couldn’t hold back a smile. Pointing at Li Yifei, he shook his finger, saying, "You, you can get up. I’ve accepted your intention."

A few women observed Li Yifei’s behavior. Su Mengxin shook her head and said, "Only think of being obedient after making a mess?"

Li Yifei, realizing his intentions had been seen through, scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Um, you all know about it?"

Su Mengxin shot him a glance, turned around to support Elder Su, who said, "Let’s talk inside."

"Okay, okay!" Li Yifei quickly nodded, hurried a few steps to support the other side, and slowly helped the elder into the house. Once seated, Li Yifei stood by while Elder Su said, "Go ahead."

"Grandpa, I’m not worried about the Twitter issue, but..." Li Yifei shared with Elder Su what Wu Qingfeng had hinted at. Upon hearing it, Su Mengxin and the other women’s expressions also changed. They initially thought Li Yifei was apologizing for the incident with the girl, but it turned out to be this kind of issue.

Growing up in such a family, and being an outstanding member, Su Mengxin was never lacking in political sensitivity. Well-influenced by her environment, she knew a lot. As soon as Li Yifei finished speaking, she frowned and said, "Yifei, did he really say that?"

"Yes, and he probably revealed it to me on purpose!"

Su Mengxin had no choice but to look at her grandfather, and Old Master Su, upon hearing this, gradually closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought. Li Yifei didn’t dare disturb him. It took more than two minutes before the old man opened his eyes and said, "I know about this matter. You don’t need to involve yourself. Don’t come to the Capital City in the near term, just go back home and stay low."

"Huh?" Li Yifei didn’t understand. Did Old Master Su mean the situation was really that serious? He blinked a few times and asked, "Grandpa, have I actually caused big trouble this time?"

"I told you not to get involved. This is not something you can entangle yourself in. Not even I should meddle; it’s best just to act oblivious," Elder Su said with emphasis. "Stay here tonight, and tomorrow go back to Mile City. Don’t come to the Capital City for a while."
