Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1248 - 1298: Demands

"Dad, what’s so great about the Li family? They didn’t fall for it this time because they were lucky. If I had managed to pull it off, they would have been dead this time." Ma Dongxiang knew she would be scolded by the old man for this, but she felt the need to defend herself.

"Managed to pull it off?" Sunx Fugui was so angry he really wanted to slap his daughter-in-law twice, "You are truly naive. Do you know who Li Yifei is? Could someone who has established his own family be an idiot? With just those little tricks of yours, anyone with a little bit of brains wouldn’t fall for it. It’s really something that you could even think of that."

Ma Dongxiang felt her face flush with Sunx Fugui’s words; wasn’t he calling her brainless? Only the old man could say such things. Otherwise, she would have lost her temper by now. She said, "Dad, even if he saw through it, so what? Our family’s Kangping died because of him. Whether or not he was the one who did it, he must take responsibility."

Sunx Fugui glared at her angrily and said, "Do you think that after you make a fuss, this will all go away? The last time Kangping went to trouble Li Yifei, he demanded an iron mine from me. Now you’ve caused such a mess, do you think he’ll let such an opportunity pass easily?"

"What else can he do? My son died at his place, and now he’s doing nothing about it. If he won’t do anything, neither will we. I don’t believe there’s anything he can do about it!"

"Fool!" Sunx Fugui slammed the table fiercely and shouted, "We don’t have any evidence, so we can’t do anything to him directly, but those two idiots you found have fallen into his hands. Do you think he’ll let them go so easily?"

"Then we just won’t admit it. Otherwise, aren’t we just as easy to frame by grabbing any two people and saying they’re sent by the Li family? That way, we could accuse them too."

"Get lost!" Sunx Fugui’s face turned an iron blue. If it was his own daughter, he would have slapped her hard by now. How stupid this woman could be! He really didn’t understand how he had chosen her as his daughter-in-law. Sunx Kangping was just like his mother; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so incapable and ended up losing his life in such a muddleheaded way.

Ma Dongxiang pursed her lips, wanting to say more, but Sunx Mingli quickly pulled her out. He was completely unaware of this matter and was equally furious. This troublesome woman really could stir up trouble.

After calming down, Sunx Fugui called back Li Yifei’s phone.

"Clan leader Li, I have already investigated the matter clearly. It was indeed done by our Sunx family." Even if Ma Dongxiang was atrocious, she was part of their Sunx family. As the head of the family, he had to stand up for his family members. Moreover, Sunx Fugui was not a weak person. He would be firm when necessary because if he didn’t stand firm now, it would completely let Li Yifei take the initiative.

By now, Li Yifei had already returned home and was sitting in the living room, enjoying the oranges that Su Yiyi was peeling for him.

But upon seeing Sunx Fugui’s call, he immediately dropped his leisurely demeanor, becoming visibly angry, "Clan Leader Sunx, are you trying to bully people with your power?"

Sunx Fugui snorted and said, "Your Li family can disregard the death of my grandson, but I, Sunx Fugui, am someone who takes responsibility. The things our Sunx family does, we admit to."

"That’s right, your Sunx family is wealthy and influential, and my Li family is small and less powerful, but my Li family is not so easily bullied. Let’s go to the major families and talk reason tomorrow."

Sunx Fugui had known Li Yifei would say this, snorted again, and said, "This matter was done by someone from my Sunx family, and I admit it. But it does not mean that the Sunx family agrees with such decisions, so you don’t need to beat around the bush with me. Both you and I know full well."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Clan Leader Sunx is indeed a straightforward man. In that case, I will speak plainly—I still want that iron mine."

"Fine!" Sunx Baogui said with only a simple word.

"Clan Leader Sunx is straightforward indeed. Then, I thank you, Clan Leader Sunx."

Li Yifei did not demand any further conditions. It was clear that being able to secure this concession was already the biggest compromise from Sunx Fugui. Rather than wasting more words, it was better to take what was offered.

The next day, Li Yifei arrived at the front courtyard, where Chu Dongsheng and Chen Dongping were being held.

These two guys usually had quite a status in society, but here, in the sight of Li Yifei’s ferocious security personnel, both of them were shivering with fear. Even though they had only seen a corner of the garden, they had realized the strength of Li Yifei, which truly was not something they could afford to provoke.

They hadn’t slept well this whole night, not knowing what Li Yifei would do to them. Perhaps Li Yifei wouldn’t dare to kill them outright, but he would dare to give them a severe beating. So they were in constant fear. Getting involved in conflicts between such large families, they felt it was quite unwise.

"Clan leader Li..." Upon seeing Li Yifei come in, the two men quickly stood up and respectfully greeted him.

Li Yifei nodded and addressed Chu Dongsheng, "You can go."

"Go?" Chu Dongsheng could hardly believe his ears.

Behind Li Yifei, Sophia glared and scolded, "Nonsense? Do you want to stay here? I don’t want to waste food."

"Thank you, Clan leader Li. Thank you, Clan leader Li." Chu Dongsheng quickly bowed several times to Li Yifei, then hurried towards the door. But just as he reached the door, he stopped again, turned around and stammered, "Clan leader Li... you... you wouldn’t be thinking of... sending me off, would you?" Towards the end, Chu Dongsheng’s face had turned deathly pale, with his legs trembling.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh at Chu Dongsheng’s words, saying, "You must have watched too many movies. Just a reminder, if you dare trouble me again in the future, I won’t let you off so easily."

Only then did Chu Dongsheng feel immense joy, and hurriedly expressed his thanks several times before running out, with someone naturally leading him out.

"Clan Leader Li...I..." Chen Dongping was even more afraid by this time. Li Yifei had let Chu Dongsheng go but kept him behind, which meant things did not bode well for him.

Li Yifei walked over to Chen Dongping, and Sophia immediately pulled over a chair for Li Yifei to sit down, then stood behind him.

Li Yifei looked at Chen Dongping with narrowed eyes and said, "Director Chen, that kid Chu Dongsheng paid a sufficient price before I let him go."

Chen Dongping, not as weak as Chu Dongsheng, was also quivering as he spoke, "Clan Leader Li...I...whatever amount you want, I can give you. Just please spare me."

Li Yifei lit a cigarette and said, "Director Chen, do you really think I need the money?"

Chen Dongping’s mouth twitched, saying, "Clan Leader Li, I know you don’t lack money, but I really don’t have anything else." freewёbnoνel.com

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "You do have something."

"Mine? What else do I have? Ah, Clan Leader Li, I only have one daughter, you can’t target her... She’s only fifteen."

"Pfft!" Sophia suddenly burst out laughing from behind.

Li Yifei’s face went dark as he said with annoyance, "Do I look like the kind of person who would abduct commoners’ daughters?"

Seeing Li Yifei’s expression, Chen Dongping immediately breathed a sigh of relief and apologized, "Clan Leader Li, please forgive my nonsense."

Li Yifei did not want to play guessing games with him anymore and said, "Director Chen, I want you to take on the director role for my film and television company."

"Ah?" Chen Dongping’s eyes widened in shock at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei looked at Chen Dongping and said calmly, "There’s no need to be surprised. If you accept the offer, I’ll let bygones be bygones, but if you refuse, I will still spare you..."

"I accept! I accept..." Chen Dongping hastily interrupted before Li Yifei could finish, not wanting to hear the twist that might follow. It was just missing out on directing one of Director Bai’s films, after all—a matter of not earning money for one year.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Don’t worry, your contract will remain the same as before. I won’t make you work for nothing. I just need you to do one more thing for me."

Chen Dongping hadn’t expected to still get paid, and though he didn’t dare accept the money, since Li Yifei had said so, further words could annoy him. Besides, what else he needed to do was probably the key point, and he quickly replied, "Of course, please give your instructions, Clan Leader Li."

Li Yifei took a drag from his cigarette and said, "From now on, if anyone tries to stop you from working with my film and television company, you must notify me immediately. Ideally, you should try to put them off and stall for time, understand?"

"Understood, understood!" Chen Dongping nodded repeatedly.

Li Yifei also nodded, saying, "Well then, I won’t keep you any longer, Director Chen; there will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation in the future."

After Chen Dongping left, Li Yifei said to Sophia, "Sophia, make sure to keep a close watch on this Chen Dongping for me. I’m curious to see who wants to go against me."

Sophia nodded and replied, "Master, I know what to do."

Li Yifei turned to look at Sophia, increasingly satisfied with this apprentice. Sophia was capable of handling many things well on his behalf, sparing him any worries with just a command. He smiled slightly and said, "Sophia, gradually, I will teach you everything I know."

Sophia clenched her fists and said, "Thank you, Master." She was clearly aware of her improvements during this period and knew that Li Yifei would soon make even greater strides. The gap between them would only widen, but as long as Li Yifei taught her all he knew, she believed she too would become stronger, eventually reaching the peak like Li Yifei.

"By the way, have you found that adversary of yours?"

"Not yet, but once I find him, I’ll definitely make him pay." Sophia confidently tilted her head back; that person had only been a bit stronger than her, and now that she had improved so much, meeting that person again would undoubtedly result in a thrashing.
