Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1202 - 1250: Didn’t Install Properly

In a large hotel in Mile City, Li Yifei was treating these tax officers to a meal. The dishes were exquisite, and the wine was fine. Whenever they came out to audit, they were always wined and dined. This time, they had been holding back from accepting any invitations because they had a different agenda. But now they finally let themselves relax, and they were getting quite smug from the drinks.

Li Yifei picked up his glass and said, "Leaders, I’m really counting on your support with this matter. As you know, these constant audits really do affect our company’s operations. Please show us some leniency, and I promise you won’t have been busy for nothing."

The leader of the group, the head of the audit division named Dong Tao, also picked up his glass and responded, "Chairman Li, we’re just following orders, you have to understand our position."

"Chief Dong, I understand, I do. We should all understand each other. You’ve all worked so hard these past days, it really hasn’t been easy. Here’s a little something for you to buy some gifts for your families back home. It’s not good to return from a business trip empty-handed. The family wouldn’t be happy, right?"

Su Yiyi immediately handed each of the seven audit officers a small paper bag. Inside each bag was just one thing: cash. Each bag contained twenty thousand yuan, while Chief Dong’s contained an extra amount—forty thousand yuan in total.

These men unashamedly accepted the money. Chief Dong laughed and said, "Chairman Li, you really are too kind." Young Master Sunx Kangping had already instructed them that they could agree to any request from Li Yifei and accept anything he gave without hesitation.

Li Yifei laughed heartily and replied, "Of course, what I like most is making friends. We’ll have more opportunities to meet in the future, so don’t be shy with me."

Dong Tao immediately said, "Alright, then we’ll consider this matter settled. We’ll write up a report tomorrow and close this case."

"Thank you, Chief Dong, come on, let’s drink." Li Yifei beamed as he lifted his glass, clearly very pleased with the outcome.

Just then, the private room’s door was suddenly pushed open, and Sunx Kangping walked in, saying, "Oh, what a coincidence, Chief Dong, what are you doing here?"

Chief Dong swiftly stood up, "Isn’t that Young Master Sunx? I’m here to finalize a case, and since we’re about done, we all decided to have a meal together."

"Really? And whose case are you checking?" Sunx Kangping already saw Li Yifei but pretended he hadn’t.

Chief Dong, keeping a straight face, replied, "Li Group."

Then Sunx Kangping turned to look at Li Yifei, and as though he was seeing him for the first time, said, "Oh, it’s you... Turns out there’s no place to hide, and I didn’t even have to make an effort to find you. I was actually looking for you."

At this moment, Li Yifei found it all quite ridiculous. Sunx Kangping’s acting skills were simply too poor. Speaking leisurely, he said, "Oh, it’s you. What brings you here?"

"I wasn’t planning on doing anything, but now that I’ve seen you, I’m suddenly in the mood to do something, Chief Dong!" Sunx Kangping’s face darkened, and he called out sternly.

"Young Master Sunx, what is it?" The chief immediately asked with respect.

With a pretentious air, Sunx Kangping declared, "I think there’s no need to close this case so soon. Best give it a thorough review. Nowadays, a lot of people are getting rich through tax evasion. Such enterprises shouldn’t be indulged."

Chief Dong quickly agreed, "Of course, we will re-examine it carefully. Chairman Li, sorry about this, but we can’t close this case yet."

The two of them played off each other while Sunx Kangping was waiting to see Li Yifei’s frustrated and annoyed expression. He planned to ridicule Li Yifei, thinking he had secured his facade, but Li Yifei wasn’t as angry as Sunx expected, maintaining a calm smile instead.

This immediately annoyed Sunx Kangping, who glared at Li Yifei and shouted, "Did you hear that? We can’t close the case. The investigation will continue until your company is driven into the ground."

Li Yifei shook his head, "It’s a shame, coming from a major clan like yours, for you to be so naïve and childish. Do you really think with what little ability you have, you can take me down? Do you think someone as insignificant as you can even compete with me?"

Enraged by Li Yifei’s words, Sunx Kangping yelled, "Fuck, stop acting all high and mighty. I’m going to investigate you now. What can you possibly do about it?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Li Yifei smiled faintly, "No wonder you’re only fit to be a playboy and not truly valued by your family. You don’t even know the extent of your own abilities."

"Stop talking crap. I’m going to have them investigate you, and they’ll do exactly that, no matter what you say."

Li Yifei turned and signaled to Su Yiyi, who immediately pulled out her phone from her bag, pressed a few buttons, and the voices of a few people began to play from the device.

"This damned job isn’t easy. There’s clearly nothing wrong, but we’re forced to find problems. Chief, what’s really going on with this case?"

"You’re told to investigate, so do it thoroughly. Someone powerful wants this company taken down. They are way out of our league."

"But this leaves us unable to start anywhere."

"Then we investigate hard. We’ll just have to endure. As we drag it out, they won’t be able to operate normally. Sooner or later, they’ll crack."

At this moment, Dong Tao and his associates’ faces changed color. It was their recorded conversation, and somehow, Li Yifei had managed to record it. Although the recording might not serve as the most direct evidence, if this matter was reported higher up, they would undoubtedly be investigated, and that would be a big problem, potentially even putting their jobs at risk.

After letting Su Yiyi finish playing the recording, Li Yifei gave a slight smile and said, "Chief Dong, I forgot to tell you something. There are cameras in this room, and your acceptance of the money was recorded. I don’t mind uploading this to the internet right away. You are well aware of the consequences."

Dong Tao was of course aware. If the video were to be posted online, the current public hatred toward corruption would propel it to the top of the trending topics. Journalists and the Discipline Inspection Commission would immediately follow up, and their lives would be over.

This made him break out in a cold sweat instantly as he pleaded, "Chairman Li, please be merciful. When the Great Powers fight, please don’t strike at the small fries like us. Young Master Sunx, you see, we really are powerless in this matter; please let us go."

"Fuck, what are you afraid of? With me here, it’s a trivial matter. Go ahead and do your investigation."

Dong Tao said with a bitter face, "Young Master Sunx, it’s not that I don’t trust your ability, but if this gets out on the internet now, the Discipline Inspection Commission will come down to investigate, and no one can save us. I beg you, please let us go, we really don’t want to become sacrifices."

Even though Sunx Kangping was usually brash, the Discipline Inspection Commission had been quite active recently. Even the top leaders had been swiftly dealt with. The Sunx family had already warned them not to be too arrogant in their conduct to avoid trouble, as even the family wouldn’t be able to protect them.

So, he was very clear that if this matter was reported, there was no way he could save Dong Tao, and Dong Tao was certainly aware of this. No matter what he said, Dong Tao wouldn’t dare follow him anymore.

At this time, Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "Chief Dong, I don’t want to make things difficult for you. I just don’t want any trouble. Let’s just leave it at that. Take the money and go, and in the future, we can be friends."

Upon hearing Li Yifei say this, Dong Tao felt like he had been granted amnesty and promptly said, "Thank you, Chairman Li, for your generous forgiveness. If we took your money, we really wouldn’t be able to sleep at night. We’ll leave right now, this..." He said, looking at Su Yiyi.

Li Yifei gave a small smile and said, "Rest assured, when Li Yifei says something, he means it. I’ll delete the video and the recording right away."

"Thank you, Chairman Li. Then we’ll take our leave." After saying this, Dong Tao hurriedly left with his six men. As for the small paper bag, none of them dared to touch it as long as they weren’t seeking death.

Sunx Kangping felt very uneasy at this point and immediately wanted to slip away. Li Yifei was known for being violent, and it was risky for him to be here now.

"Young Master Sunx, thinking of leaving?" Li Yifei said indifferently, as two men suddenly appeared at the door, blocking Sunx Kangping’s way.

"What... what do you want to do?" Sunx Kangping quickly turned to look at Li Yifei, his voice clearly lacking confidence.

Li Yifei looked at Sunx Kangping and said, "You should consider the consequences of your actions." Then he picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Who might this be?" came an old voice from the other end. It was Clan Leader Sunx Fugui.

"Clan Leader Sunx, this is Li Yifei from Mile City."

Hearing this address, Sunx Kangping’s face turned pale with fright. He did indeed rely on his family’s power to misbehave, but he genuinely feared this strict grandfather. If his grandfather found out what he had done, he’d definitely be scolded and possibly even put under house arrest upon returning. He would rather take a beating from Li Yifei than be punished by his grandfather.

But now there was nothing he could do to prevent it, and he stood there trembling, not knowing what to do.

"Li Yifei? What do you want with me?" Clan Leader Sunx Fugui obviously knew who Li Yifei was and asked immediately.

Li Yifei said calmly, "Clan Leader Sunx, there’s a young man named Sunx Kangping who’s come to Cause Trouble in Mile City and is now in my hands."

Clan Leader Sunx Fugui’s tone was rather calm, "Li Yifei, why bother with a child’s antics? It’s beneath you."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "I agree, but as a member of a prominent family has come to provoke me, if I didn’t address it, it would seem as if the Li family is too easily bullied. Don’t you think so, Clan Leader Sunx?"

Li Yifei didn’t really want to do anything severe to Sunx Kangping, a pampered son like him, but since the man had come right to his door, if he didn’t knock on this bamboozle, it would seem far too rude of himself.
