Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2615 - 2679: Confirming Identities

Confirmed, the identities of at least four people among them have been confirmed: Ma Xingyun, Di Zhai, Zhao Yi’er, and a person named Wang Shaoqing.

Among them, the identities of the first three have been confirmed; they are all descendants of masters and eminent figures. Ma Xingyun is the grandson of Ma Guang, while Di Zhai and Zhao Yi’er also have extraordinary backgrounds, with elders in their families being top-notch experts, well-known in the past.

If the term "Second-Generation Heir" exists, these people might be it, transcending the family circles. Despite being descendants of renowned masters, they have committed acts harmful to the nation, which Li Yifei believes any one of them would care naught for mere millions, yet these acts have been carried out.

As for that Wang Shaoqing, there’s little information available; the limited records only reveal his name as Wang Shaoqing, being the second highest in cultivation among this squad of around ten people. According to Laxman, his cultivation is formidable, requiring about ten moves to counter when dealing with him.

A squad with two individuals stronger than Laxman is indeed terrifying. Even Li Yifei, with his vast experience, feels that such a combination, if unleashed, is truly formidable beyond what ordinary people can withstand. Ma Xingyun and Wang Shaoqing alone are enough to instill fear.

"It’s good to have identified them." Murong Yuanqing was also astonished. After receiving the information, he did some checking and indeed couldn’t figure out who exactly this Wang Shaoqing is. There’s no record at all of this person. Young and already among the masters, his talents are evidently brilliant. It is abnormal for a person like this not to be documented; either he appeared out of nowhere, making his identity mysterious, or there was negligence by those responsible.

Murong Yuanqing told Li Yifei not to worry, as he would gather manpower to investigate Wang Shaoqing, concerning those Second-Generation Heirs... If this matter was indeed instigated by them, they would definitely face consequences.

Under the law, there’s the crime of treason, espionage, with Murong Yuanqing’s department having very stringent requirements. If this truly is the situation, the punishment won’t be light.

"Predecessor, would you like to handle this matter?" Li Yifei inquired.

Murong Yuanqing bitterly smiled and said, "Whether I like it or not, since it’s happened, it naturally needs to be handled!"

"If it’s... inconvenient, I can assist in handling, since I’m already involved." Li Yifei said, knowing that Murong Yuanqing was in a difficult position, especially given the numerous tasks he had at hand, with matters concerning Noah’s Ark consuming almost all of Murong Yuanqing’s energy. While the counterpart is currently lying low, they certainly won’t just let it go, necessitating vigilance by Murong Yuanqing and his group.

During this time, Li Yifei hadn’t delved much into this matter, but that wasn’t to say he’d abandoned it. With his ongoing tussle with Noah’s Ark, Li Yifei couldn’t just let it go, hence not every matter could be left for Murong Yuanqing to handle. The predecessor is now over 140 years old, and his health is deteriorating, including Elder Su; their lifespan might just span a few years, possibly leaving at any time...

"Yifei, you need to understand that if this issue really involves many and drags Ma Guang and the others in, it would shock the nation, potentially causing a seismic event. If you handle it properly, it’s fine; if not, you might get into big trouble!" Murong Yuanqing warned.

Li Yifei rubbed his face, grinning through the phone as he said, "Predecessor, aren’t my current troubles enough? No matter how thorny the opposition, it won’t surpass the troubles from Noah’s Ark. If even Noah’s Ark doesn’t faze me, why would I fear these Second-Generation Heirs! Unless they’re in cahoots."

"In cahoots?" Murong Yuanqing felt a sudden alarm, having not considered such an angle.

"Ah, that’s just a joke. They shouldn’t be connected with Noah’s Ark!" Li Yifei said.

"Let’s hope not. Since you’re willing to help me, I’ll let you handle it, saving me from exertion. My health hasn’t been well lately and needs some nurturing."

"Predecessor, you must take good care of your health!" Li Yifei quickly said.

"No need for you to worry about that. Since you’ll continue investigating, my only requirement is to thoroughly investigate and figure out what’s going on. No matter who the other party is, investigate until clear, sparing no one, even if it escalates to heaven, I’ll back you!"

"I will complete the task!" Li Yifei assured seriously.

"Good, I trust you." Murong Yuanqing affirmed.

Ending the call, Li Yifei summoned Laxman and instructed, "Laxman, I choose to trust you, opting not to resort to silencing tactics. I hope you don’t let me down."

Laxman gently nodded, putting aside his playful expression as he said, "I still value my life greatly. You’re stronger than them, and besides, I don’t wish for such formidable foes to emerge in this area, which poses too great a threat to me. Throughout the year of cooperating with them, I’ve always ended up disadvantaged; these people aren’t that scrupulous in doing things."

Li Yifei chuckled coldly and said, "You know what you should do. Otherwise, you’ll regret it."

"I’ve thought it over; at worst, I’ll hide for a while, and come out when you’ve dealt with matters. If... it hasn’t been dealt with, then I’ll go into hiding, as there’s no staying here." Laxman stated.

Li Yifei gave him a long look, then ordered, "Get a car ready to take me to the border!"

"Sure, which border are you headed? Huaxia’s side? It’s quite challenging to traverse. I suggest you take a flight back instead."

"No, it’s Pakistan." Li Yifei replied.

"Ah? To the other side? Are they currently in Pakistan?"

"That’s none of your concern!" Li Yifei said.

Laxman shrugged and said, "Alright, it’s really not for me to know. Please wait a moment; it’ll be arranged soon."

An hour later, Li Yifei sat inside an off-road vehicle, driving toward the Pakistan border.

Li Yifei wasn’t concerned about how the drone was acquired; those people, being experts with strong capabilities and authority, obtaining a drone isn’t an insurmountable task. Li Yifei headed to Pakistan to follow the trail and investigate.

Knowing the individuals involved allows tracing some routes. As Huaxia’s neighbor, Pakistan has always clung tightly to Huaxia’s coattails since diplomatic relations were established. Although it is a backward, religious country, its loyalty in hugging the coattail remains unwavering. Nevertheless, being a religious nation, caution is always required for assured safety.

Li Yifei had visited Pakistan multiple times with the Flying Hawk Squad, where there are many pro-Huaxia individuals. They cannot be deemed spies; it’s better to say... Huaxia has extensive connections in this country.

Thus, Li Yifei quickly verified the matters he needed upon arrival. In the transactions involving Ma Xingyun and Laxman, there were three instances where goods were routed through Xinjiang, Pakistan, and into Kashmir.

With the Ma family’s influence in Xinjiang, making border patrols turn a blind eye is ridiculously easy—in fact, both eyes tightly shut or even poked blind, is a simple deed.

Having compiled and organized some evidence, Li Yifei felt more confident. Two days later, he appeared in Xinjiang.

To this day, Li Yifei couldn’t comprehend why these individuals would commit acts of treason; such behavior doesn’t seem to benefit them. Thus, he was quite furious. Meanwhile, the other two teams of Flying Hawk Squad also made progress in their investigation; firstly, confirmation was made that the captured intact Global Hawk Drone was indeed a drone dispatched by the United States for reconnaissance over the South Sea. Being the most advanced drone, capable of low-altitude flight and having long endurance, Huaxia had difficulty detecting it, allowing it to capture considerable information. Several such drones are present in the entire South Sea region.

Its country is exceedingly arrogant, infringing upon Huaxia’s territory, relying solely on its advanced weaponry. Were Huaxia able to detect and shoot it down with weapons, the Americans could only swallow their pride.

The source of the drone was identified, shot down in the South Sea, only to end up in Xinjiang, then sold abroad to the Americans.

This is one issue; another team inadvertently discovered that those people indeed have connections with the recently dealt Fu Yingwei. The drone dealings were facilitated through Fu Yingwei, differing from what Fu Yingwei confessed.

Reverse investigation revealed Fu Yingwei was essentially serving as a spy for the United States for quite some years, supplying abundant information over the years.

"Such individuals deserve death!" Li Yifei exclaimed angrily, considering that while some might be secrets, others are no longer so, yet such acts of espionage are inherently abhorrent and must be condemned.

"Boss, we’ve decided to continue investigating to see if we can expose bigger fish behind it!" Zheng Mingrui reported.

"Alright, go ahead, but be cautious." Li Yifei instructed.

"No worries, Boss. It’s you that should take care over there; unfortunately, we can’t be of much help in your case due to the high stakes, but we can surely crack this espionage case!" Zheng Mingrui assured.

"Let’s see which of us solves it faster." Li Yifei chuckled.

Zheng Mingrui chuckled, "Alright, the loser buys drinks!"

"Deal!"

With their agreement in place, Li Yifei had already arrived at a place called Kumood. It is a small oasis with a small river circumnavigating the oasis, keeping the soil in the center fairly fertile. Despite the river never running dry for years, the oasis boasts a pleasing scenery.

Such an oasis is considered the source of life, yet here, it’s privately owned, named Ma Village.

A very mundane, rustic name, yet the people within are anything but ordinary or mundane.
