Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1210 - 1258: Settle Publicly or Privately?

This is not the city district of Mile City, but the county town, so Su Yiyi could only book the best hotel in the county, and then everyone got into Li Yifei’s car together.

Li Yifei recently got an Audi A8. He isn’t that passionate about cars, but for such a big company, his car is a symbol of his status. He must drive a nice car to reflect his status. However, cars like luxury sports cars are not quite suitable, and top-level cars like Rolls-Royce aren’t that quick to acquire, so he settled for this one.

It’s not that the Audi A8 is more upscale than Mercedes-Benz, but Mercedes-Benz seems too common. There are fewer A8s, and Li Yifei quite likes this model, so he got it.

Li Yifei drove, and since Su Yiyi’s second uncle was a guest, he was invited to sit in the front, making the elderly man feel rather embarrassed.

Su Yiyi and her three companions squeezed into the back. None of them were overweight, so it wasn’t too cramped. As soon as Su XiaoMing got into the car, he looked around and then said enviously, "Sis, is this an Audi A8?"

Su Yiyi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, it is."

"How much does this car cost?" Wu Lili asked curiously.

Su XiaoMing immediately chimed in, "The Audi A8 ranges from a bit over 700,000 to around 2,670,000; just not sure how much this one is."

Looking at Su XiaoMing, Su Yiyi said with a smile, "You seem to know quite a lot."

"I may not be able to afford one, but I like looking at them online," Su XiaoMing said, scratching his head embarrassingly, "Sis, how much did it really cost?"

Su Yiyi didn’t want to show off, but since Su XiaoMing seemed to know his stuff, she had to answer, "All in all, almost three million."

"My God... three million!" Wu Lili immediately covered her mouth in shock, her eyes wide, then excitedly exclaimed, "Wow, I’m actually sitting in a luxury car worth three million. I can’t believe I’m in such an expensive car in my lifetime; I feel so fortunate."

Su XiaoMing was also incredibly excited, saying, "Brother-in-law, you are really rich."

Li Yifei said casually, "This is just for show, to make people believe your company is strong, so you can close deals."

Excited, Wu Lili said, "But not just anyone can afford a luxury car worth three million!"

Compared to the excitement of Su XiaoMing and Wu Lili, Li Yifei and Su Yiyi were much calmer. With so many relatives, they were used to this kind of situation. However, at this moment, Su Yiyi’s father was all smiles, as having his daughter doing well was the most face-giving thing for him as a father.

Arriving at the restaurant, it wasn’t long before dishes flowed to the table like water—sea cucumber, abalone, lobster, and the like were all there. Even if Li Yifei and Su Yiyi weren’t particularly fond of these items now, they had to order them to give pride to Su Yiyi’s father.

The food was exquisite and the liquor premium. Li Yifei gave Su Yiyi’s father enough respect, toasting him twice at the table, which made her father swell with excitement, further heated by the cousin’s incessant compliments. Soon, even the cousin started getting tipsy.

In the beginning, Su XiaoMing and Wu Lili were a bit reserved, but after a while, seeing that Li Yifei and Su Yiyi weren’t putting on airs like typical rich people, they loosened up and ended up drinking quite a bit.

After eating for more than an hour, Su XiaoMing and Wu Lili went to the restroom together, but it took a while before they came back, running and looking quite disheveled, with Su XiaoMing’s clothes even torn.

"What happened to you two?" Su Yiyi’s second uncle immediately asked anxiously.

Wu Lili fumed, "Someone bullied us just now, and we got into a fight."

Li Yifei frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Wu Lili quickly recounted the incident. When they were heading to the restroom, Wu Lili accidentally bumped into a drunkard. This wouldn’t have been a big deal, but the drunkard took advantage of the situation to grope Wu Lili and then made some lewd comments.

When Su XiaoMing saw this, he wouldn’t stand for it, and they began to argue. The drunkard was very arrogant and even slapped Su XiaoMing, who, being young and strong and often doing physical work, didn’t take long to knock the drunkard to the ground.

But after hitting the guy, the two became afraid. The drunkard had threatened them, saying he would take care of them, so they rushed back.

Immediately, Su Yiyi’s second uncle became upset and said, "What are you two doing, causing trouble and getting into fights the moment you step out?"

Su XiaoMing replied defiantly, "That person was bullying us."

"Even so, you shouldn’t have fought. What if they come looking for us now?"

Li Yifei waved his hand with a smile and said, "Second Uncle, there’s no need to worry. If XiaoMing was the one bullying, we wouldn’t have the upper hand. But if the other party started the trouble, then we’re in the right. No matter who comes, we’re not afraid."

As soon as Su XiaoMing heard Li Yifei say this, he immediately felt more confident and said, "Brother-in-law, we definitely didn’t start the trouble. It was him who bullied Lili first. I just argued with him, and he was the one who threw the first punch."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "That’s right. If someone bullies your woman and you don’t stand up for her, then you’re not a man. Don’t worry, with your brother-in-law here, no one can do anything to you."

Wu Lili quickly said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Su Yiyi’s second uncle was still not at ease and said, "I think we should let it go. After all, it’s not good to cause trouble. Big brother, I think... we’ve almost finished eating, so maybe we should leave first."

Su Yiyi’s father knew what Li Yifei was capable of. In Mile City, there was essentially no one who dared to provoke Li Yifei. Plus, he was a bit tipsy from the drinks today. He waved his hand and said, "It’s fine, with Yifei here, there’s nothing to worry about. Let’s just enjoy our drinks."

At that moment, noises of arguing, along with messy footsteps, came from outside. The door to the private room was kicked open, and six or seven people rushed in.

The faces of Su Yiyi’s second uncle and Wu Lili instantly turned pale, and Su XiaoMing also felt a sense of dread. In contrast, Su Yiyi and her father appeared very calm at this time.

"Fuck, it’s that guy who hit me just now!" A fat man in a suit, with stains all over it, pointed at Su XiaoMing and shouted loudly.

A twenty-something-year-old tall young man glared at Su XiaoMing and said, "Kid, you’re so damn bold to even hit Mr. Biao. You really are tired of living."

Su Yiyi’s second uncle quickly stood up, stammering, "Sorry... sorry! The kid doesn’t know any better, I apologize to you all."

"Apologize my ass. Someone’s been beaten, and you think a simple apology will cut it?" Seeing how weak Su Yiyi’s second uncle was acting, the group became even more arrogant. The tall young man shouted, "I’ll beat up this kid right now, and then I’ll apologize. How’s that?"

Scared, Su Yiyi’s second uncle shrunk his neck and became even more stuttered, "Don’t... don’t hit..."

These fellows, after finding Su XiaoMing and seeing the posh meal on the table, were a bit hesitant, not sure who the people in the room were or if they were dealing with someone with powerful connections. So, they didn’t start a fight right away.

But Su Yiyi’s second uncle’s weak demeanor undoubtedly sent them a signal that the people here were nothing special, at most just some rich folks. These were easy marks, and since the other party had some money, that was like a huge cash cow waiting to be milked.

"Not fight? You hit someone, and now you say we should just not fight?" The tall young man’s eyes bulged even larger, looking fiercer. He waved his hand and ordered, "Brothers, get them!" The men immediately started moving forward.

Li Yifei could tell that they had no intention of fighting right away, and at this moment, he didn’t interject, curious to see what they wanted to do.

Meanwhile, Su Yiyi’s second uncle pleaded, "Don’t... let’s talk this out, please, let’s talk."

The tall guy gestured for his men to stop and then, staring at Su Yiyi’s second uncle, he snorted and said, "Old man, I’ll give you some respect due to your age. You want to have a nice talk, so let’s have a nice talk."

Su Yiyi’s second uncle breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Please, let’s talk."

"Alright, let’s discuss this matter. That kid is your son, right? He hit my brother. If my brother ends up in the hospital for a year and a half, you guys will have to pay, right?"

Su XiaoMing immediately retorted angrily, "I only hit him a few times, and he’s still standing here fine. Does that need a hospital visit?"

The face of the tall guy darkened as he said, "Yeah, it might not look like anything now, but once you’re in the hospital, who knows, might find there’s something wrong with his brain?"

Even though Su XiaoMing was naïve, he understood this sort of thing. Some people play dirty. They would say they have a headache, and a hospital, being a business, doesn’t care much, letting you stay as long as you want. And that could cost an endless amount of money.

Seeing their intimidation made Su XiaoMing and his father fall silent, the tall guy snorted again and said, "It’s up to you to decide. Either we go to the hospital now, then we assess the injury, or I’ve got contacts both in the hospital and the Public Security Bureau. If they find some serious injury, getting your kid arrested and sentenced for a few years will be a piece of cake."

Su XiaoMing’s father was immediately panicked, and having forgotten Li Yifei’s support, he cracked a smile and stuttered, "No... let’s not go to the hospital, no hospital."

Hearing this, the tall guy became even more smug and said, "So you’re choosing to settle this privately?"

"Yes, yes, we’ll settle this privately. You tell us, how much do you want for compensation?" Su XiaoMing’s father had figured out that the other party was after money. As an honest and simple person, seeing such a scene scared him deeply. And once frightened, it was easy for others to intimidate him further.
