Super Soldier in the City

After intercepting the UAV, they hid on the fishing boat, sealed off the information without spreading it, and after completely extinguishing the UAV, used the formation method to seal it. Ma Xingyun saw the UAV and knew it was invaluable; even if it was worth tens of millions of US dollars, it would be billions in Huaxia currency. However, he didn’t know how to handle it and wanted to ask Wang Shaoqing’s opinion.

Wang Shaoqing advised them not to rush, saying it was a big deal and he needed to contact buyers, believing that many people globally would want this UAV. Ma Xingyun then asked if they wouldn’t sell it to Huaxia. Wang Shaoqing replied, "Sell it to Huaxia? How much can they offer?"

Not knowing what to say, Ma Xingyun waited for a few days until Wang Shaoqing returned with news that someone wanted to buy, but it needed to be transported out, making its way through various channels to a port in India for delivery, requiring them to communicate about the shipment route.

The Global Hawk has a wingspan of 35.4 meters, a length of 13.5 meters, and a height of 4.62 meters. Transporting such an item by land from the southern region to Xinjiang is incredibly cumbersome, but with Wang Shaoqing mediating, they encountered no obstacles and delivered it safely.

Then came the export negotiations with Laxman and others, ensuring the UAV was safely transported to the port. With this deal alone, Ma Xingyun profited greatly and happily, especially since it was a cost-free venture, merely spending time setting up the formation method and encountering some danger when catching the falling UAV. Everything else was just a matter of time.

Following that, there were several other transactions involving secret weapons that seemingly fell into Ma Xingyun’s hands from the sky. In these cases, Wang Shaoqing played a critical role; either he had precise intelligence or they just stumbled upon them. These weapons quickly found buyers overseas, earning them significant sums just by escorting them out of the country.

Such dealings... Ma Xingyun only hoped for more. After experiencing the ease of making money, he began to look forward to UAV tasks regularly, as they were a source of greater income.

The lifestyle of the rich and the poor... vastly different. Having earned money, Ma Xingyun felt confident about returning to Ma Village, especially since he had led his clan to prosperity instead of hogging the benefits, earning him greater authority among the younger generation of the Ma family, steadily inflating his ego.

Yet, he and his subordinates neglected one thing... whether Ma Xingyun had the charm and the acumen to attract someone like Wang Shaoqing. Without considering losses, Wang Shaoqing paved the way for him, helped him earn money, established contacts, solved problems, opened up channels, and even sourced goods, crucially without taking a share. This was clearly the work of a living saint.

But at the time, they all overlooked these facts, merely thinking Wang Shaoqing was generous and friendly, simply terrific!

These revelations came during Ma Xingyun’s confrontation with Ma Guang last night. They seemed somewhat true, but Li Yifei didn’t entirely believe them. Whether it was starting these activities or the UAV incident, Li Yifei had doubts. A UAV can fly high or low, and using the formation method to block signals... this might be possible, but catching a falling UAV—Li Yifei doubted his capability to do so.

Moreover, there was the matter of the Flying Hawk Squad, Captain Snow Falcon, and also that of Fu Yingwei, the clown who jumped around. They were all involved, which Ma Xingyun hadn’t disclosed.

So this seemingly honest answer was actually shirking responsibility and concealing many things. Therefore, Li Yifei didn’t find this response satisfactory. After listening, he directly raised questions, bringing up those matters.

Upon hearing this, Ma Guang asked with a serious look: "You uncovered these through your investigation?"

"Elder Ma, if not for these matters, I wouldn’t have known what your grandson did. It was through this issue that I started investigating. So your grandson... may not have told the truth. Furthermore, although your grandson is impulsive, he is not foolish; yet he trusted someone mysterious without question..."

At this point, Li Yifei paused, feeling the formidable aura of Ma Guang rising, the curtain in the room flapping loudly. Li Yifei remained calm, unsure of Ma Guang’s intentions, as the latter’s temperament seemed to change at any moment.

But Li Yifei wasn’t worried. He had anticipated the worst outcome, so even if Ma Guang turned hostile now, Li Yifei was prepared.

The wind whistled fiercely, the atmosphere inside the room turning violent. Li Yifei suddenly had a strange thought: Ma Guang was different from other masters he’d encountered, his character too unpredictable, elusive.

"Do you suspect me of shielding him?" Ma Guang’s voice was cold. Li Yifei simply smiled and said, "I don’t dare, but I must say that you shouldn’t only listen to your grandson’s one-sided story. Besides, even if he was beguiled by Wang Shaoqing, the ones who did these things were your grandson and the Ma family’s descendants, undeniably related!"

"When did I say he was innocent? If he were innocent, how did he end up with broken limbs?" Ma Guang heavily snorted, seemingly displeased.

Li Yifei shook his head, unmoved, saying, "Elder Ma, if you are determined to say this, then I have nothing more to say. I’ve investigated to this point and informed you, so even if you don’t punish them, I have nothing to say."

"You truly intend to pursue this to the end?" Ma Guang’s aura seemed to weaken a bit, asking with a furrowed brow.

Li Yifei seriously nodded without extra words; he had already said enough. Repeating further would be redundant, and besides, Ma Guang surely understood his intention without needing Li Yifei to elaborate.

"Very well, Li Yifei, I solemnly entrust you now to investigate this matter thoroughly. In a while, you can question Ma Xingyun yourself. All these years, I’ve devoted everything for this country, willing to sacrifice anything, but failing to properly educate my children and grandchildren is my dereliction of duty. I will definitely not shield him. Once the investigation is clear, I will give the country an explanation." Ma Guang boldly declared.

Li Yifei motioned a slight gesture, seemingly assessing the truth of Ma Guang’s words, considering how quickly the old man had changed his tune; Li Yifei feared trusting him hastily and being contradicted again.

"What I say is my genuine intention, but indeed I’m getting old, my heart not as resolute as before. Otherwise, considering what Ma Xingyun has done, I would’ve killed him directly!" Ma Guang sighed sincerely, suggesting he was genuinely remorseful.

Li Yifei nodded in agreement, stating, "Elder Ma, killing someone won’t solve the problem. The issue now is that your grandson might be lying. There might be hidden details needing investigation, and if your grandson’s words are true, then Wang Shaoqing is undoubtedly suspicious, requiring immediate action against him!"

"Indeed, I was testing you just now. Murong’s judgment of you was spot on; you’re commendable. Although we haven’t met for long, we’ve occasionally kept in touch. His former disciple betrayed him, hitting Murong hard, but during our occasional contacts over the years, he has mentioned you, saying you have potential. Today upon meeting you, I confirm you’re promising, making me glad for him."

"Elder... Is this genuine praise?" Li Yifei inquired.

Ma Guang merely waved his hand, heading out, saying, "I’m old, soft-hearted, but I can still discern right from wrong, good from bad. The matters involving Ma Xingyun are left to you to continue investigating. The Ma family will cooperate without hindering you. As for Ma Xingyun, he’s already your defeated foe. I’ve confiscated his jade pendant; I imagine he won’t be disobedient to you."

As he spoke, Ma Guang had already exited, his voice fading away, disappearing shortly. Li Yifei touched his nose, seeming bewildered and indeed feeling so. He wondered if all those tense exchanges were mere tests. But what if my resolve wasn’t firm?

Regardless, Ma Guang had made his decision. Li Yifei found it rather agreeable, though why is the case left for me to continue investigating? Are they just assuming I have nothing better to do?

Li Yifei grumbled for a while but then turned to Ma Xingyun’s bed, looking at the limbs that were already broken yet unbandaged. He said, "You heard your grandfather’s words, didn’t you?"

Ma Xingyun glared furiously, his eyes filled with rage but helpless. He wanted to speak, but his acupoints were sealed, leaving him mute, merely moving his mouth futilely.

Li Yifei chuckled, saying, "Self-inflicted harm, no one else to blame. So you’d better cooperate. I deal with matters and not people. We don’t have enmity, but your actions have indeed angered me, so I must investigate thoroughly, regardless of who or what they are!"

Ma Xingyun widened his eyes even further, trying to struggle. Li Yifei seemed to understand his intent, so he stepped forward, tapped a few points, releasing Ma Xingyun’s acupoints, and heard him unleash a suppressed groan followed by a furious curse, "Li Yifei, I will kill you!"

"Ha!" Li Yifei sneered coldly, squinting at Ma Xingyun, replying sternly, "Then you’d better live up to that, or you’re not a man!"

"I... I will kill you! It’s you... You caused me to become like this, to suffer such humiliation!"

"Tsk, tsk, I truly feel a slight... pity for Elder Ma, a hero for a lifetime, yet having a grandson like you—a disgrace. You’re at least over forty now, think with your brain. If you’ve erred, don’t be stubborn; if you fall, stand firm."
