Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 1867 - 1930: Going to Changbai Mountain

"How much is ten milligrams?" Na Yi’s Chinese is quite normal now, but she’s not very clear about this measurement unit, so Yao Lingfu said, "It means very little, and directly taking it isn’t good, it’s better to mix it with some other things to make a medicine, and then take it so it won’t cause these issues.""That’s good, if it keeps happening, I won’t dare let them use it."

"Haha, okay, I have other things to do here, I’ll send you the formula when I have the time."

Once she understood there wouldn’t be any serious consequences, Na Yi felt relieved and shared the news with Li Yifei.

Li Yifei pinched her cheek and said, "Alright, don’t worry too much. As long as it’s good for beauty and health, even if it’s a real poison, they’d grit their teeth and use it."

Li Yifei wasn’t wrong about that. Nowadays salons are everywhere, offering various beauty treatments. Even lethal botulinum toxin is injected into bodies. Just a few micrograms can be deadly, showing how attractive beauty is to women.

"I’ll get the medicine ready as soon as possible, then it’ll be enough to supply everyone," Na Yi assured.

"I told you not to worry about it. They’re just greedy; drinking a little less won’t be an issue." Li Yifei sent Na Yi home and went to Su Mengxin’s place.

Su Mengxin had rested a day and still felt shaky. Seeing Li Yifei, she naturally looked displeased and turned her head away to keep lying down. She was slightly better off — Chu Xiaoyao couldn’t even get up, and most of the water on the bed and floor was hers, something that had never happened before.

Not eating for a long time isn’t good, and not eating enough isn’t either. But eating too much at once is also extremely uncomfortable.

Li Yifei sat by the bed, reached out to hold Su Mengxin, and comforted, "Honey, don’t be mad."

"I’m not mad!" Su Mengxin said with her back to Li Yifei.

"If you’re not mad, why are you ignoring me?"

"I’m afraid... you’ll suddenly go wild again," Su Mengxin said softly.

"Haha, that won’t happen. Na Yi just asked Elder Yao, you’ll have it mixed properly next time, and you won’t drink so much!"

"Hmph!" Su Mengxin heard this and was slightly relieved.

Turning back to look at Li Yifei, Su Mengxin frowned and said, "What’s with your apologetic look? Did you do something wrong while you were out?"

"Something wrong? How could that be?" Li Yifei said with surprise.

"When I see you like this, there must be something!" Su Mengxin said skeptically.

Li Yifei quickly clarified, "Heaven and earth as witnesses, I didn’t mess around, only with Lianyao, but that’s not a problem!"

"That sounds about right." Su Mengxin adjusted her position, moved her head to find a comfortable spot, and grabbed Li Yifei’s hand, saying, "First tell me what’s going on with Elder Su during the call. My grandpa called me and was vague about it. When I asked, he just said to ask you directly."

"Haha, it’s quite a curious story..." Li Yifei then told her the details, but of course didn’t mention Murong Yuanqing’s task or Su Tianhai’s request for the time being.

Su Mengxin listened with wide eyes and slightly open mouth, saying nothing for a while, her thoughts unable to process it fully.

"Honey, you unintentionally saved an old man, who turns out to be... my great-grandfather?"

"Yeah, he’s about a hundred and thirty years old now," Li Yifei said.

"So amazing, no wonder grandpa wants to meet him." Su Mengxin shook her head and nodded, still finding it hard to believe.

For now, it appears true because Su Tianhai’s identity is genuine and can’t be false. If his identity is genuine, his age must be as well since Su Tianhai is older than Murong Yuanqing, around the same age as Master Void.

Regarding whether Su Tianhai’s relationship with Elder Su is real, it’s hard for Li Yifei to verify; only Old Master Su can discern it himself.

As for Su Lio’s matter, Li Yifei decided to discuss it with the women at home after returning from Changbai Mountain.

"It’s truly miraculous!" Su Mengxin marveled.

"Hmm, I didn’t expect you to have a great-grandfather, and he’s one of the Five Greatest Experts of China. Now no one will dare to bully you." Li Yifei laughed.

Su Mengxin immediately tossed her head and said, "Of course, but..."

"But what?"

Su Mengxin playfully pinched Li Yifei’s leg and gently twisted it, then said, "How come I heard that this great-grandfather of mine has a treasured granddaughter?"

"Uh..." Li Yifei paused and said, "About that... it’s true, she’s four or five years younger than you, so from your standpoint, I also have to call her aunt."

"I’ve also heard that my aunt is very beautiful!" Su Mengxin continued.

Li Yifei, seeing her sly little fox expression, knew she had misunderstood. He pinched her cheek and said, "Haven’t you heard that she doesn’t fancy me much?"

Su Mengxin giggled and said, "I haven’t heard that."

"Hmph, I knew you had selective hearing!" Li Yifei pouted.

After staying home for four days, it was already the second week as scheduled. Elder Su, who was far away in the Capital City, finished his work and freed up a few days. Under the protection of his security personnel, he came to Changbai Mountain. There’s a military airport here, and Elder Su unusually used his position to dispatch a military plane to bring himself here.

At the airport, Li Yifei had been waiting. He arrived a day in advance, but instead of going to the Su Family home, he stayed nearby for a night to await Elder Su’s arrival. Seeing Elder Su, Li Yifei thought the old man seemed in better spirits than he was two years ago, looking radiant. Perhaps he was excited to see his elder uncle.

Upon seeing Li Yifei, Elder Su patted his shoulder and said, "I have to thank you this time."

"Grandpa, you don’t have to say that!" Li Yifei replied.

"Not an outsider, haha. If not for you, I might not be meeting my elder uncle." Elder Su expressed with emotion.

Li Yifei, however, wasn’t too convinced. Judging from Elder Su’s demeanor, he didn’t seem to know that he had an elder uncle living, but Su Tianhai definitely knew about Elder Su, and possibly knew many years ago, yet continued to avoid acknowledging each other—what hidden reasons might there be?

In the car, apart from Elder Su’s bodyguard serving as the driver, it was just the two of them. Elder Su seemed aware of Li Yifei’s confusion and explained, "Back then, our family wasn’t as it is now. Even in those days, the society was unstable, and some leaders of the time didn’t trust people like my elder uncle and Murong Yuanqing. They even suggested that as long as you had guns, strong enough firepower, nothing was to be feared. They labeled these people as undying old geezers, and some even incited crowds to go and eliminate them. So, if my elder uncle had chosen to acknowledge us back then, it could have been disastrous for us."

This explanation cleared Li Yifei’s mind. In such a special period, some things indeed couldn’t be done. Otherwise, regardless of your status, you would face trouble. The power of the masses is limitless. When incited, they could go wild... Even with his current healed state, Li Yifei felt that while he could handle ten, or a hundred, if it escalated to a thousand, he’d have to consider running, as his True Qi and stamina are limited, and ants can overwhelm an elephant.

It was the same back then. Moreover, Su Tianhe and Murong Yuanqing fought for the country for decades, shedding their blood and youth. Not only did the country not protect them, but there was also a possibility of them being eliminated. It’s quite sorrowful when you think about it.

This resolved a perplexity in Li Yifei’s heart and made him admire Su Tianhe and Murong Yuanqing even more.

The car drove for less than half an hour before entering the mountains, winding through the mountain roads according to the map they received in advance. This time, Elder Su didn’t bring many people; besides the driver, it was just Li Yifei. Everyone else was instructed to wait at the airport.

It wasn’t that Su Tianhai didn’t send people to pick them up, but Elder Su refused, stating that he was going to see his elder uncle, so there was no need for people to pick them up; he wanted to go by himself!

This wasn’t said with spite. Li Yifei could understand Elder Su’s feelings, so he also told Wang Chao and Ma Han they didn’t need to come to pick them up. After all, it wasn’t too far, just over an hour to get there. Just prepare some good food.

There was, of course, good food and drink, plenty of it too. Based on their seniority, Wang Chao and Ma Han instantly became of the same generation as Li Yifei’s grandfather. However, the two didn’t position themselves with such superiority. They even told Li Yifei to regard them as equals. They had thought of acting as elders, but their first meeting with Li Yifei left them respecting his skills, so naturally, they couldn’t suddenly act arrogantly, for that would be inappropriate.

As for Su Lio... she knew Li Yifei was coming but only raised an eyebrow, not expressing any opinion.

The car traveled several dozen miles through the mountains before finally reaching an exit. At the entrance, there was a sign with writing on it. Li Yifei glanced at it and saw it read "Private Estate, No Entry," with personnel on duty. As their car approached, someone came up to check.

"Yifei!" Ma Han said excitedly. Li Yifei opened the car door, jumped out, and shook Ma Han’s hand, saying, "Brother Ma."

"Yes, yes, Old Master..." Ma Han nodded repeatedly, then noticed Elder Su sitting inside, quickly stepping up to greet him.

Elder Su didn’t know Ma Han, only hearing Li Yifei call him Brother Ma, so he asked, "Yifei, who is this..."

Li Yifei’s mouth twitched but didn’t introduce him. Instead, Ma Han took the initiative and said, "Hello, I’m Ma Han, the adopted son of Su Tianhe..."
