Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1274 - 1324: Trip to Japan

Li Yifei had been busy ensuring his wives grew stronger, but he never relaxed when it came to Li family matters. What needed to be done still had to be done. Building a powerful family wasn’t just about individual strength—it required economic power and advancements in various aspects.

The people living outside the family home had already established a points system. No matter what type of work someone did, they could earn points. This prevented those unable to carry out tasks abroad from feeling excluded or undervalued. Everyone’s enthusiasm surged because those ten beautiful women, after some negotiation, genuinely moved many hearts.

To Li Yifei, this was excellent news. These people used to be unruly and hard to manage, but now they were self-disciplined, saving him plenty of effort. It seemed that rewards were indeed an effective way to boost loyalty. Why else would leaders throughout history reward their subordinates with money and women?

After nearly settling these matters, Li Yifei prepared to go to Japan. Aoki Reiko’s Aoki Group was planning to negotiate a deep collaboration project with him. This involved a massive sum of $2 billion, which was undoubtedly a major deal for the Li family—something Li Yifei couldn’t overlook.

For such a significant event, Li Yifei, as the chairman of Li Group, had to make an appearance himself.

So, Li Yifei brought Su Mengxin, Xu Yingying, He Fangqing, Su Yiyi, and a team of company staff to Japan.

Su Mengxin, since being with Li Yifei, had stayed home to cultivate her body and mind, hoping to bear a child for him. Now, after losing her son and grieving for some time, she had somewhat recovered. But Li Yifei knew it wasn’t something she could easily forget, especially since he as a father couldn’t stop thinking about it. The child was a piece of Su Mengxin’s flesh—of course, she missed him even more deeply.

Thus, this time, he insisted Su Mengxin come along to get some fresh air.

Aoki Reiko and her father, Aoki Ryota, personally welcomed Li Yifei at the airport, accompanied by several important figures from the company. For Aoki Group, this was a major collaboration, with the key objective of entering the Huaxia market—they couldn’t take it lightly.

There were also reporters at the airport. Li Yifei faced them calmly, knowing such an event was bound to attract media attention.

Li Yifei shook hands with Aoki Ryota, exchanged a few formal remarks in front of the reporters, answered some of their questions, and then got into the Aoki Group’s car.

Aoki Ryota and Li Yifei shared one car, while Aoki Reiko joined Xu Yingying and the others in another.

Aoki Ryota poured Li Yifei a cup of tea and said sincerely, "Chairman Li, I must first express my gratitude to you. Reiko benefited greatly from your care while in Huaxia."

Li Yifei received the teacup and said modestly, "You’re really too kind, Chairman Aoki. Reiko and I could be considered friends, and when she’s at my place, it’s only natural to show hospitality."

Aoki Ryota immediately responded, "This isn’t just normal hospitality—you’ve saved my daughter several times. I only have one child, so as a father, I genuinely thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Li Yifei smiled and said, "Alright, then I’ll accept this father’s gratitude. But when discussing business, let’s focus on business without mixing in personal feelings."

Aoki Ryota gave Li Yifei a meaningful glance and said, "Chairman Li is truly an extraordinary person. Very well, I will separate business from personal matters."

"Great! Now that you say that, we can really talk openly."

"Haha! Open discussion it is. But let’s not discuss business today—let’s talk about personal matters instead."

As it still involved commercial negotiations, Li Yifei and his group were arranged to stay at a suite in a five-star hotel owned by Aoki Group. Everyone in his party stayed in the presidential suite.

Knowing the relationships between Xu Yingying, Su Mengxin, He Fangqing, Su Yiyi, and Li Yifei, Aoki Reiko thoughtfully placed all five of them in one room. Presidential suites had multiple rooms, so even without close ties, there was no issue sharing a suite.

After dropping Li Yifei off at the hotel, Aoki Ryota left, planning to return for the grand banquet that evening. The banquet featured many notable Japanese figures, aiming to showcase Li Yifei’s status.

Aoki Reiko accompanied Li Yifei’s group to the suite, smiling as she said, "This place definitely doesn’t compare to your home. But Aoki Family doesn’t have a garden as large as yours, so I hope you won’t mind."

Xu Yingying laughed, "Miss Reiko, you’re being way too modest. With Aoki Group’s financial resources, you can build whatever you’d like. It’s just that your group isn’t as ostentatious as someone from our family here."

Aoki Reiko chuckled lightly and said, "More like my father doesn’t have so many women. If he did, I’m sure we’d have a huge garden too."

Li Yifei’s face darkened. "Reiko, that’s not fair—you’re throwing shade at me as soon as you speak!"

Aoki Reiko giggled and said, "Feijun, I’m not throwing shade—I’m singing your praises!"

After some playful banter, Aoki Reiko looked at Su Mengxin and asked, "Sister Mengxin, how’s your little one?" She had stayed in contact with Li Yifei’s family lately but hadn’t been told about the missing child. The last time she saw Su Mengxin, Su Mengxin had been heavily pregnant. Now that her figure had returned to form, she clearly must have given birth.

When Reiko mentioned this, the Li family members’ expressions turned grim. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Reiko was startled, asking, "Did... something happen?"

Su Mengxin forced a smile and said, "I gave birth to a son, but just one month after his birth, he was taken away."

"What?!" Aoki Reiko’s eyes widened. Her face turned furious as she exclaimed, "Who would do such a thing? That’s outrageous!"

Su Mengxin shook her head, replying, "We don’t have any information at all. They took our son but haven’t contacted us. We’re completely in the dark."

Li Yifei interjected, "They clearly have a motive. It’s just that the time hasn’t come for them to make demands, so for now, all we can do is wait."

Reiko quickly said, "I’ll also conduct some investigations through Japanese channels. After all, Feijun does have enemies here in Japan."

Aoki Reiko had recently learned of Li Yifei’s identity as Golden Eagle, which was now semi-public knowledge. Given her family’s influence, it wasn’t hard for her to uncover his formidable background.

Su Mengxin immediately expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much."

"Sister Mengxin, there’s no need to thank me. You’ve all been so kind to me—during my time with your family, I benefited greatly from your care. I’m only trying to do my part."

However, Li Yifei and his group held little hope. Despite Li Yifei’s investigations and his contact with Yamaguchi Group—which had conducted an extensive search with its considerable resources—they hadn’t found any leads. It seemed unlikely that Reiko’s efforts would yield new information.

That evening, Li Yifei’s group attended Aoki Group’s grand banquet at the hotel. Besides Aoki Group’s senior executives, there were also prominent figures from business and government circles in attendance—clearly a gesture meant to honor Li Yifei.

The four women were all dressed elegantly. Su Mengxin, renowned as Huaxia’s most beautiful woman, was breathtaking even in ordinary attire—dressed in fine evening wear, she was stunning beyond compare. Although Xu Yingying and the other three couldn’t match Su Mengxin’s beauty, they were indisputably attractive women. As major guests of the banquet, they naturally drew countless admiring glances.

Here, Xu Yingying remained as Li Yifei’s official wife. The other three women didn’t disclose their relationships with him. While Li Yifei didn’t mind people knowing the truth, drawing excessive attention was a different matter entirely. The media would revel in sensational gossip, and that could lead to unpredictable trouble.

Aoki Ryota was engaged in quiet conversation with Li Yifei when his phone rang. Apologizing briefly to Li Yifei, he stepped aside to answer. After saying a few words, his face showed a hint of shock. He spoke a few more sentences before finally hanging up.

Aoki Ryota returned with a smile and said to Li Yifei, "Feijun, a very important person is coming. I think you’ll absolutely want to meet him."

This piqued Li Yifei’s interest. "Alright, since you say so, I must meet him."

In such a setting, the way Li Yifei and Aoki Ryota addressed each other became much more casual and friendly.

"Let’s go and welcome him. This is someone people rarely get to encounter—a truly legendary figure. It’s my great honor to know him."

Li Yifei grew even more intrigued, saying, "Anyone who makes Aoki feel honored must be exceptional indeed."

"Haha, absolutely extraordinary. In our country, only the highest-ranking officials have the privilege of meeting him, and they too treat him with respect. For him to come to me of his own accord—isn’t that a tremendous honor?"

"Could it be one of your Japanese ninjas?" Li Yifei’s mind suddenly jumped to Inoue Aoga, whom he hadn’t seen since the Special Forces Competition.

"Exactly! The most powerful ninja!" Aoki Ryota emphasized proudly.
