Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1837 - 1898: Sucking Up

Landing a KO punch on Li Xiang, Li Yifei didn’t feel any sense of accomplishment. If the guy hadn’t provoked him, fine, but he dared to clench his fists and rush up for a sneak attack, so he couldn’t blame Li Yifei for being rude.This punch left Li Xiang half-dazed, lying on the ground, unable to get up for a long time, with his eyes barely open, feeling nothing but darkness around him.

The two walked over to the Audi and saw that next to it was Qin Muchu’s Porsche Cayenne parked. Through the semi-transparent window, two heads were visible: Qin Muchu and Yin Feng’er were looking at Li Yifei in fear.

Yes, fear. The two of them had wide eyes, inspecting Li Yifei up and down, confirming he was fine, which left them shocked.

Li Yifei chuckled, walked over, and knocked on the car window. After a few seconds, the window was rolled down, revealing two still surprised faces. Before he could speak, Qin Muchu immediately pushed open the car door and jumped out, Yin Feng’er followed suit on the other side. Thıs text ıs hosted at novelhall.com

"Li... Yifei, are you okay?" Qin Muchu found it hard to believe that someone who had caused such a huge mess could walk out unscathed. He and Yin Feng’er didn’t want to run, but they didn’t dare to. Just now in the car, Qin Muchu even had angrily scolded Yin Feng’er, blaming her for knowing some crappy friends and getting him involved in big trouble. Yin Feng’er had argued at the time, saying her friends wouldn’t cause trouble, which led Qin Muchu to scold her even more.

In the blink of an eye, Li Yifei and Song Lianyao walked out unscathed, giving Qin Muchu a metaphorical slap, proving to him that nothing had happened to them.

Moreover, the two had witnessed Li Yifei’s action: the young troublemaker had tried to sneak attack, but was knocked down by a punch from Li Yifei, lying there without responding for a long time. This scene left Qin Muchu and Yin Feng’er in their dazed state.

Li Yifei turned back for a glance, shook his head, and said, "It’s nothing, what could happen!"

"This..." Qin Muchu felt his brain was stuck. He scratched his nose and rubbed it hard a few times, a gesture familiar to those who knew him that indicated he was at a loss and didn’t know what to do next.

Li Yifei laughed, reached out, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Don’t worry, it’s fine. Thanks for your hospitality today, I’ll treat you next time!"

"Oh... oh, sure!" Yin Feng’er was the first to react. She hadn’t thought too much, just worried that Li Yifei’s trouble would indeed affect Qin Muchu. Now that they were fine, she was relieved, pulling Song Lianyao’s hand and shaking it hard, saying, "Yaoyao, you scared me to death just now."

Song Lianyao also reassured her, "Feng’er, don’t worry, if I say it’s fine, then it’s fine. It’s getting late, you guys should head back. Your boyfriend has been drinking, remember not to let him drive."

Yin Feng’er nodded repeatedly, her eyes reddening.

Saying that, Li Yifei and Song Lianyao headed towards their Audi. Just then, a crowd from the hotel entrance ran toward them, led by Huang Zicong. He trotted over and skidded to a stop in front of Li Yifei, performing a defiance of physics, which made Li Yifei raise an eyebrow. With such weight, the braking system was surprisingly effective; Li Yifei thought the guy would overshoot.

"Uh, Mr... Li." Huang Zicong caught his breath and spoke quickly to Li Yifei.

"Hmm?"

"Well..."

"Just speak if you have something to say."

"You and your friends didn’t eat well earlier, right? I’ll call someone to prepare a new table of delicacies right away. Earlier... you know, the situation was too chaotic, I had no choice but to give such an order. Please, don’t be angry." Huang Zicong said, wiping sweat from his brow. Though today wasn’t particularly hot, he felt sweatier than any summer day.

Li Yifei chuckled, waved his hand, and said, "Forget about the meal, we’re pretty much done eating."

"Ah, is that so, well, in that case, tonight, come for dinner. I’ll have the top chef prepare a meal for you." Seeing Li Yifei had finished eating, Huang Zicong quickly added. He had seen Li Yifei’s dominance, not backing down an inch to the Su Family, even showing more arrogance. Upon learning Li Yifei’s name, Huang Zicong and the other big bosses finally realized who this formidable young man was.

The Li family, the number one family in the province, and Li Yifei was the clan chief of that family!

The boss who found Li Yifei familiar spoke up. He had been fortunate enough to be invited to a banquet organized by Li Yifei some time ago, but due to his status, he could only mingle in the corner and steal a few distant glances at Li Yifei. Hence, he had a vague impression. After some days had passed, when he saw Li Yifei again, he recognized him but couldn’t recall where they had met.

Li Yifei, the patriarch of the Li family—when his identity was revealed, those big bosses who initially looked down upon or were even angry with him, and were prepared to deal with Li Yifei themselves even if the Su Family let him go, immediately changed their minds.

Damn, that’s Li Yifei, the head of the province’s top family. He’s not someone small fry like them can mess with. Most of the bosses were relieved they hadn’t spoken out of turn; otherwise, it would truly have been a disaster. In the eyes of these people, Li Yifei’s identity commanded even more reverence and fear than the Su Family’s.

As for Huang Zicong... he had once had a conflict with Li Yifei and was nearly knocked over by him. Understanding Li Yifei’s identity nearly gave Huang Zicong a heart attack. He had some money, knew some people in the province, and was well-connected in the city, but it depended on who the comparison was with. Compared to Li Yifei, he was insignificant. Just thinking about how he had rushed over intending to hit Li Yifei made Huang Zicong feel dizzy.

So, after coming to his senses and seeing that Li Yifei was about to leave, Huang Zicong hurried over.

If it weren’t for seeing Huang Zicong, Li Yifei would have forgotten about his offense. However, Li Yifei had no ill feelings towards him, so he merely chuckled, patted Huang Zicong’s chest, and said, "Does it hurt anymore?"

"Eh?" Huang Zicong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle drum, making the fat on his cheeks jiggle loudly, amusing Song Lianyao. Huang Zicong quickly said, "It doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt anymore."

"Mhm, those unaware are not guilty; don’t take it to heart. You’re different from that person," Li Yifei said lightly.

This statement made Huang Zicong feel a chill from head to toe, not from fear but from comfort, like stepping into a room with central air conditioning after being under the scorching sun for two hours. It was indescribably refreshing. Huang Zicong nodded vigorously, feeling immensely grateful, "Thank you for your magnanimity, I will definitely conduct myself well and not be so rash again."

Gah! Qin Muchu was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the floor. He blinked hard, as if two needles pierced his eyes, confirming he wasn’t seeing or hearing things—Huang Zicong, who walked so arrogantly in Ying City, was indeed acting like a humble subordinate in Li Yifei’s presence. What kind of person was Li Yifei?

If Qin Muchu, having seen so many people’s reactions firsthand, still couldn’t recognize that Li Yifei was a formidable figure, he might as well quit being a section chief. He was truly lacking discernment.

Understanding this, sweat broke out on Qin Muchu’s back. Reflecting on everything he said and did earlier, he couldn’t help but feel clownish.

Seeing Li Yifei unwilling to stay for a meal, Huang Zicong quickly took out a gold-edged card from his pocket, bowed, and presented it with both hands, saying, "Mr. Li, this is a top-tier VIP card for Jingtai. Please accept it. I know it’s nothing in your eyes, but please take it as a token of my apology. I truly didn’t know it was you. Otherwise, I absolutely wouldn’t have..."

"Alright, I’ll accept it. The taste of your food is quite good, but the price is a bit high. An appetizer costs eighty-nine." Li Yifei accepted the gold-edged VIP card with a smile, casually commenting. He didn’t know that because of this remark, the prices at Jingtai Hotel suddenly dropped. After looking into that appetizer, Huang Zicong waved his hand and made it a complimentary dish.

This action made the already popular Jingtai Hotel even more bustling, as the food was delicious, prices dropped, but the classiness remained, so people in Ying City loved dining there.

Of course, that’s another story. At this moment, Huang Zicong felt like he had been granted amnesty, even more nervous than during gang fights in his early business days. Now he was relieved. From then on, whenever anyone discussed Li Yifei, regardless of the occasion, Huang Zicong would give him a big thumbs up and heap praise upon praise, never stingy with his words of admiration.

Naturally, Li Yifei hadn’t paid for his meal earlier, as Huang Zicong had declared it on the house at the time.

Putting the card casually into his pocket, Li Yifei nodded at Qin Muchu and others, saying, "Alright, it’s getting late, we’re heading back. There’s a child at home needing to be fed."

"Yes, yes, take care!" Qin Muchu reacted, nodding and bowing promptly. He had no choice—when he considered Huang Zicong an outstanding figure, seeing Huang Zicong’s attitude towards Li Yifei, Qin Muchu dared not show any disrespect.

"Yin Feng’er and my wife are friends, lifelong friends, right?" Although Li Yifei directed his words to Qin Muchu, his gaze was on Yin Feng’er.

Song Lianyao nodded repeatedly, patted Yin Fenger’s hand, and said, "Let’s each make our own friends. I’ll treat you to a meal another day!"

"Yes, yes, alright!" Yin Feng’er quickly nodded. She didn’t know what to say, especially since the current situation was beyond her imagination.

Li Yifei and Song Lianyao then got into the car. Abiding by the law, Li Yifei sat in the passenger seat while Song Lianyao drove. A group of people outside watched the two in the car with eyes full of reverence and support.
