Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1207 - 1255: Direct Challenge_2

"In marriage, mutual devotion is essential. If one only follows their own whims, can there still be happiness? You’ve also sacrificed a lot for me."

Li Yifei said with a sense of shame, "I don’t feel like I’ve sacrificed anything for you. It seems like it’s you who has been making all the sacrifices."

Su Mengxin kissed Li Yifei back and said softly, "Your love for me is the greatest sacrifice. As long as a man truly loves a woman, that’s enough."

Li Yifei continued guiltily, "But my love has been too scattered."

"Hehe, don’t overthink it. At least your love is fair, and no one holds any resentment. If you were too biased towards someone, that would indeed cause issues."

"Having you all is truly the greatest fortune of my life."

After this conversation with Su Mengxin, the problems that had been troubling Li Yifei for days suddenly unraveled.

He had been overly cautious these past few days, but Sunx Kangping’s death had nothing to do with him anyway. Why was he so entangled? It’s the Sunx family who wants revenge, not the business of the Li family.

If the Sunx family insists on pinning the blame on the Li family, then Li Yifei is not afraid of them at all. There’s simply no evidence, and if the Sunx family tries to cause trouble with this, they won’t have a leg to stand on. Li Yifei can stand his ground against them.

Even if Sunx Kangping met his mishap in Mile City, the Li family is not responsible for ensuring their safety if something happens to anyone.

The only thing Li Yifei needs to do is to root out the mastermind behind this, but this is not just a matter for his family. The Sunx family also needs to do this; why should he rush to take on everything? It’s better for the Sunx family to handle it, and he can benefit from their efforts.

So following that, Li Yifei had the Li family completely abandon the investigation and ignore it entirely.

The actions of the Li family were quickly perceived by the Sunx family, and Sunx Fugui soon called Li Yifei.

"Clan Leader Li, what do you mean by this?"

Li Yifei responded with an innocent tone, "I don’t mean anything. Our Li family has already done our utmost to find the murderer, but so far, we haven’t found a single clue. We’re truly out of options."

"Does your Li family want to stay out of this?" Sunx Fugui’s tone suddenly cooled.

"Clan Leader Sunx, our Li family is but a small clan, still in its infancy. We are short-staffed to begin with. I’ve diverted all our available hands to investigate this matter these past days, yet to no avail. If this continues, it will cause major operational issues for our family. But it’s different for your Sunx family, with your large business and abundant manpower; and with your extensive connections, it should be much easier for you to find the culprit. So for this matter, please take care of it yourself, Clan Leader Sunx. The Li family has already fulfilled our duties and responsibilities."

Sunx Fugui snorted coldly and said, "Clan Leader Li, does that mean you’re completely hands-off now?"

"I’m not saying that I won’t take care of it. As long as we know who the murderer is, our Li family will surely capture the culprit and deliver them to the Sunx family."

Sunx Fugui spoke bitterly, "Alright then, it seems quite likely that your Li family is behind this."

"Clan Leader Sunx, trust your wisdom. Whether it was my Li family’s doing, we all know very well. If you insist on wrongly pinning this matter on my Li family, we may be small and weak, but we will not be pushed around by just anyone. I’ll lay it out for you; the person who died was from your Sunx family, a troublemaker who came to me for no good reason. What do I care if he lives or dies? Why should I go to such lengths for him?"

"You..." Li Yifei’s sudden outburst left Sunx Fugui at a loss for words. After a snort, he said, "Fine, we won’t trouble the Li family with this matter anymore, but you had better hope I don’t find out it was your Li family’s doing. Otherwise, you will face the wrath of the Sunx family."

"I, Li Yifei, always take responsibility for my actions. If it were my doing, I wouldn’t be afraid of your Sunx family. But if it wasn’t, and your Sunx family insists on blaming me, I absolutely will not accept it!"

"Fine! Clan Leader Li truly has the commanding presence of a clan chief, we’ll see how things go in the future." Sunx Fugui hung up the phone after speaking.

Li Yifei had a smile on his face at this time. Solving the issue this way made him extremely content.

Even if he could help the Sunx family find the murderer, he would still not be able to become allies with them. Since there was no chance even for friendship, there was no way he would work for the Sunx family. That would simply mean he had been kicked in the head by a donkey. He, Li Yifei, was a clan chief, and he had to have this kind of domineering presence. Sometimes, you have to stand firm; showing weakness would only let others bully the Li family even more.

Sunx Fugui was really infuriated. The attitude of the Li family in the past few days made him feel that the Li family was nothing special, but now, Li Yifei’s attitude had made a complete 180-degree turn, which felt like he was being played with.

If this incident were related to the big clans of the provincial city, then it would have been another matter, but even a small clan from Mile City dared to act so arrogantly, this was really a hard pill to swallow.

"Li Yifei, you really think too highly of yourself, then I’d like to see exactly how capable you are."

Sunx Fugui slapped the desk angrily; he now truly hated this Li Yifei from the Li family. Even knowing that this matter would definitely not involve Li Yifei, he had nevertheless forged a grudge against the Li family.

There was a knock on the door, and Sunx Mingli and Ma Dongxiang arrived at Sunx Fugui’s study.

As soon as they entered, Sunx Mingli frowned and said, "Dad, I just went to ask about the investigation at the Li family, and they said they’re not handling it anymore."

Sunx Fugui nodded, "I know."

"Then what do they mean by that?"

Sunx Fugui snorted, "The Li family clearly told me they’re not dealing with this matter."

Ma Dongxiang immediately said angrily, "Kangping was clearly killed by them, they were just putting on an act these past two days. By not handling it now, it just shows even more so that they have a guilty conscience." Ma Dongxiang didn’t dare to yell in front of Sunx Fugui.

Sunx Fugui lit a cigarette and said nothing.

Ma Dongxiang immediately continued, "Dad, the Li family is just a newly established small clan, they just have some money, what’s there to be arrogant about? How can they compare with a big clan like ours that has been around for so many years? If they’re not going to handle it, then we should go and demand an explanation, our Sunx family could crush them just by lifting a finger, only this would avenge Kangping."

Sunx Fugui shook his head, "Never underestimate any clan. Without a certain background, forming a clan would only mean direct annexation by other clans. I’ve done a thorough investigation of the Li family as well, and the strength of the Li family is really not small."

"What strength could they have, isn’t it just set up by a retired special forces soldier?" Ma Dongxiang said contemptuously.

Sunx Fugui spoke indifferently, "Before the Li family was established, members from the three most famous younger generations of the Gu Family and the Meng Family from Capital City, as well as the Wei Family from Northern Su, came to Mile City to deal with Li Yifei. They were Meng Qianjun, Gu Yanan, and Wei Zijun."

Sunx Mingli immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Those three? The strength of the Three Great Clans is unimaginable, and these three are the most talented in their families. It’s said that they might possibly inherit the position of clan chief in the future."

Ma Dongxiang snorted, "Then they should have been able to finish off Li Yifei in a minute." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Sunx Fugui immediately frowned, and Sunx Mingli glared at his wife and scolded, "If you don’t understand, then don’t butt in. If Li Yifei had been extinguished, would there still be a Li family now?"

Ma Dongxiang pouted, realizing that what she had said was indeed foolish, and stood to the side, not daring to speak out of turn anymore,

Sunx Fugui then continued, "However, when these Three Great Clans came to Mile City, although they initially suppressed Li Yifei quite a bit, in the end, for some unknown reason, they all left, and the Li family was established quickly thereafter."
