Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1382 - 1431: Disappointment After Hope

After leaving Su Yiyi’s villa, Li Yifei headed towards Xu Yingying’s villa. Today, most of the women were working here, also waiting for news. Even though there was no good news, Li Yifei still needed to inform them.

Standing at the doorway, Li Yifei gently exhaled, put on a relaxed expression, and pushed the door open to enter.

The women had just finished a meeting and immediately gathered around Li Yifei as he walked in, waiting for him to speak.

Impatient, Chu Xiaoyao grabbed Li Yifei’s hand, shook it, and asked, "Hubby, what did Elder Yao say? Did she find that bad worm?"

The other women were most concerned about this as well, and Chu Xiaoyao had fortunately asked for them.

Looking at the women, Li Yifei didn’t deceive them but truthfully said, "Elder Yao found it, but she’s still researching how to solve it. She doesn’t have a good solution right now and needs to go back and check some documentation, maybe ask others for help. So, for now, it will have to be this way."

"Ah?" Su Yiyi exclaimed, quickly covering her mouth. The expressions of the women changed too, even a master like Elder Yao Lingfu had no solution?

Even Lin Qiong couldn’t help but ask, "Hubby, isn’t Elder Yao Lingfu very proficient with Worm Technique? How come she still doesn’t have a solution?"

Li Yifei briefly explained to the women what Elder Yao Lingfu had just said.

Worm Technique was already a mysterious and profound thing to them, and now it had turned into Witchcraft, making the women even more confused. Younger women like Chu Xiaoyao and Su Yiyi were somewhat worried, and even Su Mengxin and a few others became momentarily disheartened. Li Yifei couldn’t be with them, which was already a significant issue for this family. However, with something even Elder Yao Lingfu couldn’t solve, they couldn’t be of much help either. Among them, the two women with the highest cultivation, Xu Shanshan knew even less about it than Li Yifei, and Jiang Ningxiang didn’t understand much either, her small face filled with melancholy.

After a moment of silence, Su Mengxin said to everyone, "Let’s not worry. Elder Yao only said there’s no solution for now, but we have to trust her. Moreover, we already know what it is, so I’m sure we’ll eventually find a solution. Yifei, don’t worry, even though we haven’t done that thing these days, there hasn’t been any impact."

Xu Yingying gently hugged Li Yifei from behind, comforting him, "Yifei, no matter what, the sisters will always be with you. We’ve long been committed to you in this life, so don’t have too much emotional burden, and try to relax."

Xu Shanshan also said, "Yes, brother-in-law, all these sisters have long been through life and death commitments. Moreover, Condensation and I will also strive to cultivate and help you find a solution. I think the reason we can’t solve this now is that our cultivation level is too low. If it were high enough, maybe we wouldn’t be affected."

"Sister Shanshan makes sense, hubby, I will also strive to cultivate..." Jiang Ningxiang thought, placing her hand on her belly, where there were two lives. Jiang Ningxiang had now accepted this fact and no longer thought about aborting the children. Her mood had also improved a lot recently.

Hearing the women’s words, Li Yifei was deeply moved. He hugged them one by one and said, "Having you all is the greatest fortune of my life, Li Yifei. Don’t worry, as the only man in your lives, I will be very strong and shoulder my responsibilities. This is just a hurdle, and we’ll eventually overcome it."

The women nodded in agreement with Li Yifei’s words, and the topic quickly shifted. Su Mengxin and a few others briefed Li Yifei about the situation with the Sunx and Song families in recent days.

Since the war began, due to the women’s thunderous strikes, the Sunx and Song families were caught off guard, leading to the large-scale devaluation and evaporation of stocks of multiple listed companies under them. Within less than a week, they directly lost more than eight billion. This visible loss, along with indirect losses from the companies, was incalculable. From the companies’ reputation and credibility to the employees’ confidence, there were varying degrees of damage. Coupled with the media strikes from Ning Xin’er and others, rumors said that the Sunx and Song companies were experiencing employee departures.

Meanwhile, the Li family had only consumed over a billion in funds, mostly expended in stock market offense and defense, but they had also earned a lot through the stock market, making up for these losses.

As of today, the Sunx and Song families had stabilized their footing, but couldn’t launch a counterattack. However, due to their significant financial links, they managed to temporarily block the women’s offensive.

The Sunx and Song families were vast and affluent, but losing so much money all of a sudden still caused them immense headaches. It was unknown how many years it took to accumulate these funds, only to have them evaporate within a week. People within the Sunx and Song families were furious enough to wish they could tear Li Yifei and others apart to satiate their resentment.

Losing over eight billion so suddenly, mostly operating capital, made the responsible parties in both families wish they could commit suicide to atone, feeling they had disgraced their family members. But they had tried their best and were still no match for the business team led by Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying, leaving them helpless.

In the business wars, the women attacked with varied strategies, pointing east and striking west, encircling Wei to rescue Zhao, sneaking troops through hidden passages, besieging points to strike reinforcements, sometimes changing tactics multiple times in one day, leaving the Sunx and Song families difficult to cope. Sunx Fugui and Song Zude, who had ruled the business world for so many years, didn’t know how many phones, remote controls, or teacups they had smashed in anger.

Both families were on the verge of an uproar, some even wanted to hire mercenaries to demolish the Li family, and some even thought of carrying explosives to flatten the Li family. Sunx Fugui and Song Zude met several times to come up with a strategy to deal with the Li family.

In politics, some in the provincial city had openly chosen not to support the Sunx and Song families anymore, possibly due to some rumors they had heard. Meanwhile, Second Level Police Inspector Wang Xiaobo was reported by Song Zhentao to the Provincial Governor, summoned for a reprimand, and received political penalties. The Governor’s exact words were, "A Second Level Police Inspector, a Deputy Bureau-level cadre, getting involved in family disputes, you’ve utterly failed the provincial government’s trust in you."

Having lost favor with the Governor, Wang Xiaobo’s future career prospects looked bleak. Although he was still young, with luck, he could definitely secure a powerful Director-General Level position before retirement. But one wrong step leads to another, and after receiving the penalties, Wang Xiaobo immediately wanted to sever ties with the Sunx and Song families. Moreover, he realized deeply that the Li family wasn’t a force he could contend with. Even Song Zhentao, the Mile City Municipal Party Secretary, stood with them, seemingly on his own initiative. As a Deputy Bureau-level cadre, he couldn’t get involved in such disputes.

But breaking ties wasn’t so easy. For instance, Sunx Fugui directly asked him, "Did you take all that money and houses before, just for nothing?"

The threat from the Sunx family immediately made Wang Xiaobo restless. He had little contact with the Song family, but he couldn’t afford to offend them either. As a result, Wang Xiaobo’s hair turned noticeably white over the recent days, and he spent every day in distress, sighing constantly. The things he had received were definitely not returnable, and even if he returned them, it wouldn’t help. Those items had come gradually over the years; even he couldn’t remember everything anymore, so how could he return them?

After hearing the women’s reports, Li Yifei felt much more at ease. He had some concerns about leaving these matters to them, but after a week, he had no worries left. Entrusting them to handle things was extremely reliable; the explosive energy the women displayed was astonishing.

Such great success should have been celebrated by everyone, but none of them were in the mood for it at the moment.

The next day, Yao Lingfu left, and Li Yifei and Na Yi saw her off at the airport.

After another night, Li Yifei calmed down, believing there would always be a way. As he drove back with Na Yi, he noticed she was staring out the window, so he suddenly turned the car into a commercial street, parked, and led Na Yi into the mall, heading straight to the women’s clothing store.

Na Yi had already seen such malls on TV, and seeing Li Yifei take her there, she was instantly delighted. Women’s nature made them enjoy dressing up, wanting to look more beautiful; Na Yi was no exception. Even in Miao Village, the young girls would design and create their own beautiful clothes, with silver accessories jingling melodiously.

After spending two hours, Li Yifei bought Na Yi more than ten outfits, dresses, pants, numerous pairs of shoes, and even underwear. There was nothing awkward about this; instead, Na Yi felt a bit embarrassed as these were the most intimate clothes for a woman. Watching her husband pick out these items, Na Yi’s face blushed all the way to her ears. But soon, Na Yi secretly rejoiced, her heart sweet. Li Yifei buying her such intimate items meant he accepted her, cared for her.

On the way back, Na Yi sat in the passenger seat, singing joyfully. Though Li Yifei couldn’t understand the words, the melody was very pleasant.

Li Yifei had already explained to Na Yi that the sisters were very busy lately. Na Yi nodded, saying she understood, and asked him to apologize on her behalf.

Li Yifei knew Na Yi’s position at home was awkward now. Except for occasional visits from Su Yiyi, the others, though not openly blaming Na Yi, secretly resented her. That’s why he thought of buying her some clothes today.

As soon as they entered Xu Yingying’s villa, they saw several women walking quickly while putting on clothes, hurriedly heading out. Seeing Li Yifei, Xu Yingying immediately grabbed him and said, "I was just about to call you, hurry and come with us, Ling’er seems to be going into labor."

Li Yifei felt a surge of joy, instinctively asking, "Really?"

"The doctor just called. Ling’er felt a bit uncomfortable during sleep last night. This morning, her stomach started responding. The doctor said she might be going into labor. Let’s hurry and go!"

"Yes, yes, let’s go!" Li Yifei turned and rushed out the door, starting to jog as soon as he exited. The villas weren’t far apart, and within a minute, Li Yifei ran over and rushed inside, seeing the doctor carrying Xiao Ling’er out. Li Yifei quickly asked, "Ling’er, how are you doing?"

"Husband... you’re back. Oh, that’s great. I thought you would miss this. The baby might be coming; it’s eager to meet Daddy." Xiao Ling’er grabbed Li Yifei’s hand, her previously pained face breaking into a smile. Having Li Yifei there with her instantly lifted her spirits.
