Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2196 - 2260: Not Fit to Be an Official

"You... how can you speak like this!" That First Level Police Inspector, after all, had a rank that made him a Director-General Level cadre in local terms, someone with authority and power in a region. Yet, here he was being publicly reprimanded by Li Yifei in a way he had never experienced before, so he immediately got angry. But Li Yifei didn’t care about that, he just smiled faintly, glanced at the other party, and said, "What, not convinced? Just as well, I’m not in a great mood right now, didn’t catch the person, and my buddy almost got beaten to death. Do you see the blood on my hand? It’s from my buddy’s. He was a retired soldier working and earning money properly, but went to catch some terrorist instead, almost got **** to death. You don’t have to feel anything, but you’re here doubting and speaking harshly, saying you’re a **** is not an injustice to you."

"You you!" The First Level Police Inspector had never encountered such a thing before. The reason he made things difficult for Li Yifei was not just to disgust him, nor was it due to any questioning spirit. It was purely because his surname was Gu, named Gu Peng, and he was a senior of Gu Yandong’s. That’s why he troubled Li Yifei; after all, as a senior, he knew about Gu Yandong’s matters.

Unexpectedly, Li Yifei was also someone not to be trifled with, responding directly in front of so many people when provoked. If he had a gun with him, he might really have drawn it on the spot at Li Yifei.

Strangely, no one else spoke; several people watched the scene with smiles, and some lowered their heads as if deep in thought, while Wu Qingfeng looked at the two, thoughts unknown.

Li Yifei scoffed and said, "Stop with the you you, my identity is very special, special to the point that none of you can touch me. Although I don’t use this identity to threaten you, just based on what’s on your shoulder, you’d better speak to me politely, otherwise, if I kill you and find your criminal evidence, you’d have died in vain."

In the last few sentences, Li Yifei released an imposing aura, murderous intent surging, even so much that these seasoned police officers felt overwhelmed and all looked up at him.

Gu Peng almost fainted from anger by Li Yifei, his face flushed, pointing at Li Yifei, unable to speak for a long time.

Li Yifei, however, chuckled lightly, "Alright, the matter Wu Minister called me for, I’ve explained it. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back and investigate my own. I almost forgot this layer of my identity, if not for this First Level Police Inspector provoking me, I really wouldn’t have remembered."

"You!" Finally, that First Level Police Inspector couldn’t hold back and actually fainted, eyes rolling. Li Yifei looked at the other party without a hint of sympathy in his eyes, a calm smile on his face.

Pulling such a stunt in this place, probably no one but Li Yifei in decades, and coincidentally, once he revealed his secret identity, they really couldn’t do anything about it. Li Yifei’s current status is extraordinary, not only one of the only eight members of the Phantom Squad at present but also the designated successor of people like Murong Yuanqing, who are like old immortals. Few truly know this status, and such a file is top secret, even some top bigwigs may not know, after all, Murong Yuanqing and others have not publicly declared it, except for a few chiefs knowing, Wu Qingfeng also knows a bit. He knows Li Yifei’s extraordinary identity, already above the secular understanding, including knowing from his daughter how amazing Li Yifei was, being able to save his daughter in such a situation was truly incredible.

So Wu Qingfeng finally spoke, "Limin, you first let Comrade Gu Peng go and rest for a while, don’t work with emotions. Everyone is anxious about this situation, but being too emotional is counterproductive."

Others were a bit puzzled by Wu Qingfeng’s reaction; it was one thing that he didn’t speak up to stop before, but now Old Gu had fainted, why was he still speaking this way? Of course, they wouldn’t voice their doubts, given his rank. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Li Yifei inwardly exclaimed "Oh," glanced at Wu Shuwei’s father, and thought to himself no wonder this guy was sardonic right off the bat, turns out he’s from the Gu family, seems like my bombardment hit the mark. And judging by Wu Qingfeng’s reaction, he may not get along with this something-Gu either; quite possibly this something-Gu is using his status and is insubordinate.

Although not in officialdom, Li Yifei analyzed some things with just a few words. After the meeting room hullabaloo ended, no one else made things difficult for Li Yifei, of course, they didn’t show too much enthusiasm either, except for one Second Level Police Inspector who spoke with Li Yifei nearing the end, chatting a bit and Li Yifei then realized this fellow was on the Su family’s side, or rather relying on the Su family.

"Sigh, it’s as expected," Li Yifei sighed inwardly, I’m really not suited to be an official, otherwise, with this temper, I wouldn’t know how many people I’d offend.

Wu Qingfeng kept Li Yifei back, called him into the office, once inside, Li Yifei plopped down, initially thinking Wu Shuwei’s father was a very typical official, but after contact today, found he was quite different, very decisive when scheming.

"Kid, climbing so fast all at once!" Wu Qingfeng also plopped into his chair, tilting his head to look at Li Yifei.

"Not bad, I didn’t think..."

"Get me a glass of water first," Wu Qingfeng interrupted Li Yifei directly commanding.

Hmm? Li Yifei wanted to laugh, asking on what grounds, only to hear Wu Qingfeng seemingly mutter to himself, "What, not convinced? For things between you and Weiwei, if you want to pass through me, then you must obediently act humbly now to be a son-in-law later."

Damn... Li Yifei almost thought he heard wrong, what the hell are you talking about, what about things between Weiwei and me?

"What did Wu Shuwei tell you?" Li Yifei asked puzzledly.

"You don’t know what she told me?" Wu Qingfeng countered.

Damn, couldn’t that woman have told everything? Didn’t she have some kind of agreement, forbidding this and that, did she not hold back and told it all, Li Yifei placed his crossed legs back down, using this motion to muse, I’m not someone who uses someone and denies it, if you’ve said it, at worst I’ll admit it when I get back, having one more woman isn’t too much, I can afford it.

So he obediently got up, got a cup of hot water from the water dispenser, placed it on Wu Qingfeng’s desk, and Wu Qingfeng raised an eyebrow, seeing Li Yifei poured himself a cup as well, then asked, "Uncle Wu, what do you mean?"

"Being hot-blooded is a good thing, but being too arrogant and conceited can lead one astray, and in the end, it’s you who suffers," Wu Qingfeng did not answer Li Yifei’s question.

Li Yifei nodded slightly, saying, "Purposely said so, actually I’m quite humble usually, and I won’t offend others unless I’m offended."

"The Gu family has deep roots."

"That’s for later, Uncle Wu, what did you want to say just now?"

"Nothing, called you here to remind you of a few things, but now it seems, there’s nothing much left to say!"

"Then I’ll go first, those guys are still at large outside, makes me uneasy."

"Li Yifei, in my personal capacity, I ask you to withdraw from this matter, do not involve yourself in it further. The country has its laws, and there are various means to deal with terrorists!" Wu Qingfeng called after Li Yifei as he was about to turn away, saying he only saw Li Yifei’s expression didn’t change, then added, "The country has many weapons, from rifles to machine guns, tanks to planes, mortars to nuclear bombs. Different hits require different weapons. Although I don’t want to praise you, I must admit, a person like you existing is akin to a nuclear weapon on a different level, so in principle, best not to deploy unless necessary, lest the deterrent is too strong."

This reasoning? Li Yifei raised an eyebrow and then heard the other continue, "Moreover, not being on the surface if possible, staying in the dark is intimidation, exposed long enough for everyone to figure out how to counter, your deterring ability gradually weakens, don’t you agree?"

It makes sense, Li Yifei was about to nod but suddenly thought, damn, something’s wrong, so he looked at Wu Qingfeng and asked, "Uncle Wu, if I’m so important, why send me to Africa, isn’t that exposing the nuclear bomb there for enemies to target?"

"Get lost, had it not been for Weiwei going to Africa on a business trip, would I let you go? Besides, if it weren’t Weiwei, would you go, would you do me a favor?" Wu Qingfeng slapped the table, presenting Li Yifei with irrefutable words, leaving Li Yifei scratching his head, saying, "Alright, if you don’t want me to interfere, I won’t, just one demand, that person, must die!"

"No," Wu Qingfeng shook his head immediately, stating, "According to your words, that person could be a head figure among the terrorists, if captured alive, they’re of use to the country."

"Bullshit, Uncle Wu, even you’re using this to fob me off, my brother almost got killed, I want that shooter’s life in exchange, this demand is not excessive!" Li Yifei responded.

"Get out, don’t let me see you, and don’t think about marrying Weiwei!" Wu Qingfeng issued an eviction order straight away.

Li Yifei took a breath, turned to leave, and as he walked out the door, he couldn’t help but chuckle, Wu Shuwei’s father really was an interesting character, amid banter and reprimand, not holding much of an air, but father-in-law, you agreeing doesn’t matter, your daughter is the one who wants to keep her distance from me, won’t let me touch again.

Muttering inwardly, Li Yifei exited, found Zheng Mingrui waiting outside, and the two took a cab to join others. Now the police have taken over the pursuit work, the six stood at the parking lot entrance, suddenly without a target, even Li Yifei felt the same, he had a feeling that these people seem hard to regain the feeling they once had, everybody has changed, making such low-level mistakes, no wonder they took bullets, of course, he couldn’t say this, so Li Yifei conveyed the meeting content, and the other five sighed.

"Let’s go, to the hospital to see Hawk, hope he’s out of danger now." Li Yifei patted Zheng Mingrui, and they drove to the hospital together.
