Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1836 - 1897: Frustrated Li Xiang

Li Yifei also started to laugh, relieved. Although his words sounded relaxed, it actually showed his inner tension. However, it was good that Elder Su woke up, which was better than anything else.Though the twitching of the eyelids was merely a bodily response, this reaction could be a reflex or a conscious attempt to open his eyes. If Li Yifei had True Qi in the Body, he could directly use it to stimulate Elder Su to aid his recovery, but unfortunately, he didn’t have it, and the True Qi of Wang Chao and Ma Han... was too weak to be effective.

This twitch lasted a full five or six minutes before Elder Su slowly opened his eyes amidst everyone’s anticipation.

As soon as his eyes opened, it truly signified that he woke up. Su Lio cheered, then covered her mouth, fearing she’d disturb her grandfather, while Wang Chao and Ma Han were also excited, wanting to shout out.

Li Yifei looked up, raised his eyebrows, and made a funny face at Song Lianyao, who, after receiving it, blew him a kiss and leaned in to say, "Hubby, you’re awesome."

"Hmm, save those words for tonight!" Li Yifei replied. Song Lianyao immediately became a little embarrassed, not expecting Li Yifei to say such cheeky words at this time, though she would also say such things at night.

"Ahem..." Old Master Su coughed lightly, making a small sound, but there seemed to be something in his throat. Before he could speak, Li Yifei said, "Turn the old man over; there’s something in his throat that he needs to spit out."

Wang Chao and Ma Han hurriedly came over, holding Elder Su with both hands, while Su Lio gently tapped his back, allowing Old Master Su to spit it out.

A large pool of black blood was expelled, emitting a foul stench. Song Lianyao stepped back, and Li Yifei frowned, thinking to himself, no wonder the blood didn’t flow from the forehead, nose tip, or philtrum; it was stuck here.

After spitting out the old blood, Old Master Su felt much better, but Wang Chao and Ma Han did not dare to turn him back over and had to ask Li Yifei, "Sir, can he be turned over now?"

Both of them still didn’t know Li Yifei’s name, so they could only address him as Sir, but in their hearts, they already held him in great respect. No matter what, Li Yifei was the one who awoke Elder Su, thus becoming their benefactor, proving his capability beyond doubt.

"Of course, turn him over, but don’t move him too much. After he rests a bit, send him to the hospital promptly. The old man needs a blood transfusion, and the wounds need to be cleaned. The black blood is toxic; improper handling could lead to secondary infection," said Li Yifei.

They quickly nodded, carefully turning Elder Su over, laying him on a door plank. Su Lio put her hand under Elder Su’s head, letting it rest on her hand. At this moment, the little girl no longer opposed Li Yifei as she did before, because her grandfather had awoken, proving that he was indeed trying to save a life, and her previous suspicions were wrong.

Though he was conscious, Elder Su was still somewhat confused. It took him a few minutes to come to his senses, realizing it was Li Yifei who had saved him. Gratitude surged in Elder Su’s heart, yet when he looked at Li Yifei, his gaze was slightly amazed, surprised at Li Yifei’s youth.

"Thank you for saving me!" Elder Su said hoarsely. He wanted to smile but couldn’t quite manage it. He followed up, "As my grandchild mentioned, I still don’t know your name. May I ask for it?"

Just now, Su Lio had informed Elder Su of the events.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "I just happened to be here, so I stepped in. No need for gratitude, Elder Su. A senior like you is a treasure of the country; losing one is a huge loss. I couldn’t just watch you die."

"Heh, I’m just an old guy; I’ve outlived my usefulness," Elder Su weakly responded.

"Grandpa, you’re not old. You still have to watch me get married and start a family!" Su Lio earnestly corrected him.

Hearing her words, Song Lianyao couldn’t help but laugh, ultimately covering her mouth, chuckling quietly. Su Lio knew why she was laughing, pouted, but said nothing more.

"Please share your name so we can thank you later," Wang Chao and Ma Han suddenly knelt down, cupping their hands towards Li Yifei in gratitude.

"Alright, I’m Li Yifei," he replied, feeling no need to hide his name, knowing they could easily find out who he was if they wished.

Li Yifei? Su Lio pondered but had no impression. Wang Chao and Ma Han also seemed unfamiliar with the name. However, Elder Su, upon hearing this name, finally laughed, albeit weakly but genuinely.

"What, Elder Su, do you know me?" Li Yifei asked.

"I do. Haha, so it’s you; no wonder!" Elder Su admitted, "I was wondering when such a young talent emerged in the North. Turns out it’s you, Li Yifei, haha, indeed a fateful encounter!"

So the old man recognized me. Li Yifei was slightly taken aback, "Knowing each other is good, but I apologize as I’ve never heard of the Su Family of Changbai Mountain. Hmm, well, I’ve never been there either!"

Elder Su didn’t expect Li Yifei to be so young, and his speech was even somewhat... well, alright, it was his life that Li Yifei saved. Elder Su smiled again and said, "Yes, we’ve finally met!"

"Hmm, how is Elder Su feeling now?" Li Yifei asked.

Elder Su closed his eyes and carefully sensed his body, then said, "I feel alright, still very weak though, but the poison is gone."

"It’s not too optimistic. I can’t judge if the poison is completely cleared, but it should be fine for the moment. So, quickly get Elder Su to the hospital. There’s a lot of blood loss that needs to be replenished, and the wound needs treatment!"

Wang Chao and Ma Han quickly nodded, and Wang Chao took off his shirt to cover Elder Su, then stood up to call the paramedics outside.

Su Lio looked at Li Yifei with a strange expression. She had just learned Li Yifei’s name and thought he wasn’t very famous, but why did her grandfather claim to know him? Could he really be an extraordinary master? In Su Lio’s eyes, her grandfather was a towering figure, so how could he know a young man from some small place...?

Li Yifei also stood up with the support of Song Lianyao. His leg was fine now, but his body still felt somewhat weak. After all, during the rescue, he needed to be fully concentrated—if the knife fell in the wrong place, the consequences would be severe.

The paramedics rushed in, lifted Elder Su onto the stretcher, and quickly sent him to the vehicle. One of the doctors said, "How did the elderly get so many injuries? Was there a violent incident?"

"Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked," Ma Han said with a cold face. The doctor was stunned but quickly realized these people were not to be messed with, so he didn’t say anything and pushed the stretcher out.

Su Lio and others quickly followed. Li Yifei and Song Lianyao exchanged a glance. Song Lianyao hugged Li Yifei’s arm, and he said, "Let’s go home."

As the group was leaving, those who had been locked in the house rushed out. Huang Zicong and others saw Elder Su already on the ambulance and hurriedly ran out, but didn’t dare to ask aloud. Only when they saw Li Yifei did they cautiously ask, "Um, is Elder Su alright?"

Li Yifei turned and looked at him, saying, "He’s fine now."

"That’s good, that’s good! Phew..." Huang Zicong wiped the sweat from his forehead, relieved.

In another room, Li Xiang rushed out. He had just been held back by what Su Lio and others said, as well as Li Yifei’s threats, so he stayed inside despite his urgency. Now, hearing he could go out, he quickly ran out.

Just in time, he caught up with Su Lio, who was about to get in the car to go to the hospital, and said, "Ali, did that person fail to save grandpa? I’ll go fight him to death!"

Saying this, Li Xiang was about to turn and find Li Yifei, but Su Lio’s expression flashed with disdain as she shouted, "Stop!"

"Don’t worry, I know I can’t beat him, but I can call people!" Li Xiang added.

"I told you to stop. He is the Su family’s benefactor. If you dare lay a hand on him, the Su family won’t spare you!" Su Lio said.

Scratch... Li Xiang’s heart, which had just been mended, shattered to pieces again. He could never have dreamed that Su Lio would speak to him like this. What did she mean by the Su family’s benefactor? Didn’t that mean Elder Su was already awake and saved by that despicable person...?

Thinking of this, Li Xiang felt like crying but had no tears, while Su Lio gave him a cold glance and got in the car. Li Xiang raised his hand, his fingers twitched, his mouth opened, but no words came out. Su Lio’s turning gaze felt like plunging him into an ice cave.

Li Xiang hadn’t known Su Lio for long. Though both families were old friends, they hadn’t interacted much. This time, Li Xiang came as a family representative to bring some supplements to Elder Su and happened to see Su Lio, who astounded him, captivating him deeply. Coincidentally, Su Lio’s personality matched his preferences closely, so he started hanging around her all day.

And this matter was known by Li Xiang’s family. They didn’t express a direct attitude, only telling him that if he liked her, he should pursue her. If he succeeded, the Li family wouldn’t mistreat Su Lio.

But now, seeing this, Li Xiang felt he had little hope. He couldn’t figure out what he had done to offend Su Lio, causing such a change in her attitude—she was fine with him before. It must have been that despicable person, who made him lose face and even kneel on the ground, so Su Lio probably thought he wasn’t manly enough. Yes, that must be it!

Thinking this, Li Xiang turned abruptly, clenched his fists, and glared at Li Yifei with eyes full of hatred as he stepped towards him.

Li Yifei saw him but paid him no mind. After all, he had already made this brat kneel, so he allowed him to glare. As they walked past each other, Li Yifei only gave him a fleeting look, then continued walking with Song Lianyao.

"Stop!" Li Xiang was ignored again. This time, feeling even more humiliated, he shouted angrily, and charged at Li Yifei with clenched fists. Unfortunately for him, he was met with a punch from Li Yifei, hitting him square in the face. Li Xiang only had time to see a fist before intense pain struck his face, and he fell backward.
