Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1250 - 1300: The Son is Missing

The Li family was blessed with a baby boy, and not only were Li Yifei and Su Mengxin excited, but the entire family was also thrilled. When the little one was carried out, everyone gathered around, eagerly inspecting him from head to toe.

"The little guy’s nose looks just like Yifei’s!"

"Yeah, yeah, and his mouth looks like Mengxin’s. His forehead even resembles Mengxin’s too."

"No, no, I think the nose looks more like Mengxin’s instead."

In truth, newborns rarely resemble anyone; they all look similar. It’s hard to say if they’re good-looking or not—they change a lot as they grow. A child who looks plain now might grow up to be stunning, while one who’s adorable as a baby might turn out to be just average in adulthood.

That said, everyone was simply too excited, and discussing this topic was the easiest and most straightforward thing to do.

Little Yifei lay by the bedside, wide-eyed, staring intently at her baby brother. Meanwhile, Little Yixiang, who had just recently learned to crawl, nestled in Ye Yunzhu’s arms, blinking her big eyes as she kept looking at the little brother on the bed.

Their eldest daughter, Yifei, and youngest daughter, Yixiang, now had a baby brother, whom Li Yifei named Li Zheng.

The name didn’t sound particularly grand, but it held significant meaning. As the eldest son of the Li family, born from Su Mengxin, an exceptionally intelligent woman, this boy was bound to inherit their remarkable genes and grow into an extraordinary man. However, if such a man steered himself in the right direction, it would be a blessing to the Li family; but if he became a reckless scoundrel, he would spell disaster. Thus, Li Yifei hoped his eldest son would grow to be a man of honor, someone worthy to inherit the position of family head in the future.

Two daughters and a son, with two more children due to arrive—Li Yifei’s family was thriving, to say the least.

Li Yifei was quite busy these days. As the family’s head, he naturally needed to inform all direct relatives of the good news—not just his few aunts at home but also the parents of his many wives. It was a matter of courtesy, and as the clan chief, he personally made calls to share his joy with everyone.

The Li family had an heir now, so this event couldn’t just be celebrated quietly within the household. When the baby turned one month old, the Li family held a grand full moon banquet and invited numerous guests.

While the status of the guests wasn’t quite as lofty as those who attended during the Li family’s founding, representatives from major families of the Capital City still came to extend their congratulations, demonstrating their esteem for the Li family.

However, few provincial families attended. Other than the Ye family, the rest hadn’t been invited by Li Yifei at all.

With the joyful celebration of their son completed, the Li family returned to tranquility. Over the past month, the family hadn’t encountered any major issues. The company’s operations were running smoothly—shipping had already completed its first voyage, the real estate arm had secured a plot of land and was set for groundbreaking after the new year, and the film company’s initial troubles had been resolved. With Chen Dongping as the director and a few A-list actors onboard, the production had proceeded without further disruptions.

"Honey, I want to take the baby out shopping today. Is that okay?" Over breakfast, Su Mengxin proposed cheerfully.

Li Yifei laughed and said, "Of course, go ahead. But taking a baby that small along—isn’t it more of a hassle for you?"

Su Mengxin smiled sweetly and replied, "I just feel like holding him. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease if I go out without him."

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Alright then, go on. Just bring a couple of extra people along—it’ll make things easier with the baby."

"Got it. Lianyao and Ling’er will be coming with me today."

Li Yifei couldn’t accompany Su Mengxin to shop; he had too many matters to attend to and no time to spare. Weekends were perhaps a possibility.

Once at the office, Li Yifei became absorbed in his usual hectic schedule, but close to 10 a.m., Su Mengxin’s call came through. He picked up immediately, ready to speak, but was met with her crying on the other end: "Honey, our son is missing! He’s gone!"

"What?!" Li Yifei shot up from his chair, sending the executive chair skidding far back until it hit the wall.

"Honey... the baby’s gone... sob..." Su Mengxin was crying uncontrollably.

"Don’t cry. Tell me what happened. Crying won’t solve anything," Li Yifei said, forcing himself to calm down as he comforted Su Mengxin.

Su Mengxin, normally composed even under immense pressure, was utterly distraught this time—this wasn’t something she could keep calm over. Between sobs, she struggled to explain.

Li Yifei said urgently, "Pass the phone to someone nearby."

A bodyguard’s voice quickly came on: "Sir, it’s our fault..."

"I don’t want to hear excuses. Tell me exactly what happened." Li Yifei didn’t rush to head over; he needed a clear understanding of the situation before formulating a proper response.

"Four of us accompanied the three madams at New Century Mall. The young master was in the stroller, and we constantly monitored the surroundings," the bodyguard explained.

"Six minutes ago, Madam was in the restroom changing the young master’s diaper. We had already thoroughly checked the restroom beforehand—there were no outsiders. But after Madam entered, someone broke in through the window and snatched the young master."

"The other three bodyguards have already gone after the person, but they were incredibly fast—it’s going to be difficult to catch up."

Li Yifei frowned deeply and said, "Got it. I’m heading over now."

He hung up and immediately called Sophia, requesting her to arrange manpower for an investigation. Then, he contacted Brother Hu to mobilize all underground forces in Mile City. Lastly, he tasked Lin Qiong with organizing police assistance.

In this instant, Li Yifei had activated both the black-market and legal forces across Mile City.

However, he didn’t hold high hopes of anyone finding his son quickly. The perpetrators had clearly planned meticulously and were highly skilled.

Li Yifei also suspected the kidnappers weren’t after his son’s life—they likely had ulterior motives. So, he decided to wait for them to make their demands. For now, he wanted to see who dared to take his son.

"You can come at me with schemes and tactics—but once you touch my family, there’s no turning back. If I find you, I’ll make you regret everything!"

Li Yifei swore intensely in his heart, his seldom-seen fury blazing. This time, he was truly enraged. The palpable killing intent filled his car, and the temperature inside seemed to drop as a result.
