Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1206 - 1255: Direct Challenge

The death of Sunx Kangping was not merely the demise of an individual; there was definitely a conspiracy involved. Li Yifei felt certain that there was either a person or a force trying to provoke a conflict between the Sunx family and his own Li family.

Once the conflict erupted, regardless of who won or lost, it would not bode well for the Li family. Even if they won, the Li family was sure to suffer significant loss and gain nothing in return. The Sunx family’s influence lay in the provincial city, and Li Yifei couldn’t possibly extend his reach there, at least not in the short term. And even if he did, the many powerful families in the province, all eyeing each other like tigers, would never allow him to benefit in the provincial city.

If defeated, the Li family might be utterly ruined. Even with Li Yifei’s exceptional personal abilities, the struggle between families was definitely not something that could be influenced by one person’s strength alone. Otherwise, any great family with a top-notch expert would have established their dominance long ago.

Therefore, although this matter seemed simple, the consequences it entailed were absolutely severe, which was why Li Yifei felt so heavy-hearted when he first heard of Sunx Kangping’s death.

Naturally, Li Yifei wanted to investigate this matter as soon as possible and find the mastermind behind the scenes. But for now, there wasn’t a single clue. The opponent had apparently planned everything very meticulously, striking a deadly blow before vanishing without a trace.

Thinking about who would most want to deal with him, Li Yifei considered many possibilities. The several major families of Capital City, the Wei Family, the Meng Family, and the Gu Family, all had major conflicts with him. Likewise, the Lin family and the Song Family in the provincial city; they too had deep conflicts with him and had the capability to carry out such actions.

Moreover, even for those great families without conflicts with him, Li Yifei could not be sure they wouldn’t strike at him either, whether it be for long-term considerations or because Li Yifei had unwittingly usurped their interests—all reasons that might provoke them to act against him.

This was the first time since Li Yifei established his family that he encountered such a hidden enemy. Even when Wei Zijun, Meng Qianjun, and Gu Yanan fought against the Li family, they did so openly and directly, without resorting to such means.

But it must be said, open attacks are easy to dodge, hidden ones hard to guard against. Dealing with such underhanded tactics is truly the most troublesome.

After two continuous days of investigation, the police had no progress, and Li Yifei’s own inquiries were also at a standstill.

Lin Qiong, in order to avoid suspicion, was no longer leading the case, but Ma Dongxiang, despite her bold claims, had not taken any action against Lin Qiong so far.

In the past two days, the Sunx family had also put enormous pressure on Li Yifei, giving him a firsthand taste of the difficulty in managing a large family. It was nothing like running a company or a household.

"Mengxin, help me come up with some ideas. What should I do now?" Li Yifei walked in the garden with the heavily pregnant Su Mengxin at night and sought her advice.

Su Mengxin smiled faintly and said, "I feel you’ve walked into a dead end."

"Yes, I have the same feeling, but I don’t know how to get out of it."

Su Mengxin leaned her head on Li Yifei’s shoulder and spoke softly, "Husband, do you remember the time you rescued me and brought me back?"

"Of course, I remember."

"Back then, you were incredibly calm and composed, even amidst a hail of bullets you remained cool and collected. Even knowing my identity, you still tore off my skirt and kissed me underwater."

Li Yifei smirked and said, "Heh, back then was about survival, no room for so many scruples."

"Yeah, no need for so many scruples, right?" Su Mengxin smiled as she looked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei was taken aback for a moment, then stared blankly at Su Mengxin, who continued to smile sweetly at him.

After a while, Li Yifei suddenly burst into laughter, hugged Su Mengxin’s waist, and continued to walk slowly forward, saying, "Mengxin, you truly are my wise counselor." freewebnøvel.coɱ

Su Mengxin, resting happily on Li Yifei’s shoulder, said, "Am I not your wife?"

Li Yifei turned and gently kissed Su Mengxin’s face, saying, "Marrying you is the greatest luck of my life."

"Don’t say that in front of everyone; I prefer to hear it in private."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "You all are my greatest fortune, but when it comes to major decisions, none can match you, and that’s clear to everyone."

Su Mengxin smiled playfully, "I don’t study big issues now. You are the head of the family; you make the big decisions. I just bang the drum on the side, occasionally expressing my own opinions."

What Li Yifei liked most about Su Mengxin was exactly this quality. As Huaxia’s foremost beauty, whether in intellect or looks, she stood out among women. She had enough capital to be proud, and any man with Su Mengxin would submit to her heartily. But as a wife, Su Mengxin deeply buried her pride. She was just a woman supporting Li Yifei from behind, something not just any woman could do.

After kissing Su Mengxin once more, Li Yifei said emotionally, "Mengxin, you’ve really sacrificed so much for me."
