Super Soldier in the City

Li Yifei narrowed his eyes as he spoke, his tone growing colder, "Acting like you are now, you’ll only be despised, unable to win and unwilling to lose!"

"You... reason unreasonably, Li Yifei, you are indeed stronger than me, but only a little, I refuse to accept it!" Ma Xingyun shouted. Li Yifei shook his head more disappointedly, saying, "With your performance, I regret having fought with you, are you even worthy?"

Seeing Ma Xingyun’s deplorable performance, Li Yifei genuinely felt sorry from his heart for Ma Guang, a hero all his life, but his descendants are like this... Even if endowed with talent and profound skills, what’s the use? If one can’t conduct themselves properly, they might become like this, a menace to others.

The future growth of the Li family descendants... If they can’t be outstanding individuals, then at least become ordinary people. If even that can’t be achieved, it’s possible to nurture them for a lifetime, but if scum emerges, Li Yifei realized at this moment, he would step in to resolve it. At least while he is alive, there can’t be such people in the family; mediocrity is acceptable, but wrongdoing is not. Poor quality not only harms oneself but the whole family, even if it’s just a tarnished reputation.

Looking at Ma Xingyun, Li Yifei felt a hint of disgust. If it were truly as the other claimed, his responsibility wouldn’t be too severe, merely being misled. But Ma Xingyun dodged questions and deliberately concealed information, now making his suspicions quite significant.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but look at him with disgust, coldly saying, "Think for yourself. I give you a day. If you still can’t figure it out, Elder Ma has already said, don’t blame me for being rude to you."

This time Ma Xingyun didn’t curse, but his eyes still stared venomously at Li Yifei, not blinking an inch.

Li Yifei was too lazy to look at him any longer, turning to leave, musing that during one’s growth and education, teaching cultural knowledge is important, but comprehensive quality is equally crucial, at least an unsound mindset shouldn’t be nurtured.

As he stepped out the door, Li Yifei heard an unbearably painful cry from the ward, his footsteps paused slightly, then he swiftly walked away.

Before the evening arrived, Li Yifei received the latest information: Ma Xingyun had confessed, admitting he lied, completely shirking his responsibilities, and masquerading as an innocent who was misled. But how could someone who committed such acts be innocent? The number of people who perished by Ma Xingyun’s hands, how could he possibly be blameless!

Now, Ma Xingyun’s words may not necessarily be true, but his emotions are indeed volatile, appearing somewhat deranged, making him even more despised. At least, Li Yifei genuinely felt this guy was beyond saving.

Ma Xingyun said he didn’t know someone like Fu Yingwei but did recognize the captain of the Flying Hawk Squad, Snow Falcon. The involvement of the drone? It had the other’s participation, or else... Transporting such a large object from the southern region to Xinjiang would have been very inconvenient. But with the Flying Hawk Squad involved, transporting even a pile of Dongfeng missiles would be unimpeded, as neither local parties nor the military along the way would dare to hinder it.

Especially what Li Yifei didn’t know, the power of the Flying Hawk Squad has grown significantly under Snow Falcon’s leadership, aiming for more authority without making major moves. Given the possibility of large-scale wars not occurring, regional skirmishes and local wars continue to break out, so the country places greater value on such composite special forces personnel. It’s challenging to nurture such talents, therefore the government thoroughly supports entities like the Flying Hawk Squad. This has resulted in the squad’s increasing power, which is fine with exceptional leadership and team atmosphere, but without a good environment, members easily decline...

Having heard this, Li Yifei felt rage surging to the top of his head; he initially refused to believe the Flying Hawk Squad would be involved in such rotten affairs, much less its captain, known as the squad’s soul. Unless something unusual occurs, the captain is supposed to join the Phantom Squad upon retiring; yet problems have arisen. Though this news remains to be verified, upon hearing such more concrete and convincing information, Li Yifei felt truly enraged.

"If you dare lie about this, I will kill you, whether you’re Ma Guang’s grandson or son, I vow to kill you." Li Yifei growled venomously.

Ma Xingyun displayed a trace of fear, but being bed-bound and unable to move, he couldn’t escape. Soon, however, he endured the severe pain, making a hoarse sound from his throat, seemingly laughing, yet his expression turned particularly grotesque.

Turning to leave, Li Yifei realized Ma Xingyun had confessed to most of it, but there was still more to investigate.

"The Ma Family will fully support you, but... the Ma Family has stayed out of secular affairs for years, capability might be limited." Ma Guang stated.

Li Yifei nodded, saying, "Elder Ma, this matter needs a thorough investigation. Though you’ve stayed out of secular affairs, the Flying Hawk Squad must be aware, that Wang Shaoqing not only dragged Ma Xingyun down, but he also managed to involve the Flying Hawk Squad. Such deviousness and shamelessness!"

Ma Guang naturally knew, indeed his mood wasn’t great either now; despite all this, Ma Xingyun was irrevocably linked to it. The trouble is, he’s his grandson, and to really deal a killing blow would be unbearable... Seeing Li Yifei’s rage, Ma Guang’s old face couldn’t hold back, apologetically saying, "This matter... is my fault. Whatever you plan next, I support you fully. The investigation must be thorough, and no one should be tolerated. Li Yifei, today I say this, if it reveals Ma Xingyun has further guilt... not an inch of responsibility should be spared."

"With your word, I’m reassured. I will investigate thoroughly, neither wronging nor letting go!" Li Yifei nodded solemnly, saying, this assurance was also meant for himself. At this moment, he couldn’t make too many guarantees.

It seemed the matter was about to clear up, but a new line appeared involving Wang Shaoqing, who seemingly is the hidden black hand behind it, not just dragging Ma Xingyun down but also implicating the Flying Hawk Squad.

Leaving the Ma Family, Li Yifei switched on his phone and was met with a slew of messages. He had effectively disappeared for two days; his family was aware he was on a mission, explaining the fewer messages. Ma Tianxing, Zheng Mingrui, and the others were unclear about the situation, hence kept asking over these two days. As each message came in, Li Yifei quickly glanced over them. He had his task, and Zheng Mingrui and others had their own. Even in Li Yifei’s absence, they continued their assignments.

Seeing their investigation progress, Li Yifei nodded, but upon reading further, his mind jolted. The later messages, sent today, originated from Skinny Monkey, who said in the information, "Boss, these two days we couldn’t reach you, but there’s been some progress here. Today they assembled for an investigation; you’ll likely receive news shortly, I’ll inform you then."

This message arrived two hours ago and was the last one. Nodding, seated in the car sent by Ma Guang, Li Yifei pondered for a moment before dialing out, but Skinny Monkey didn’t answer. After two tries, it remained unattended.

Li Yifei wasn’t overly concerned, not answering a call isn’t necessarily abnormal.

But by evening, when Skinny Monkey hadn’t returned his call, Li Yifei started feeling uneasy. He himself was unreachable due to special circumstances these two days, but Skinny Monkey, being outside and handling the mutual communication and computer interference tasks, shouldn’t be unreachable.

Just then, Li Yifei’s phone rang urgently; he rushed to pick it up, answering, "Skinny Monkey! What are you guys doing? Why did you only call me now?"

"Skinny Monkey? More like Fat Pig! Heartless you, didn’t even call me!" A coy voice exclaimed, Xu Shanshan’s extremely dissatisfied voice reached Li Yifei’s ears, leaving him stunned for several seconds, having not expected Xu Shanshan to be calling. Li Yifei’s initial reaction was wondering: isn’t Xu Shanshan with Elder Qingqiu training, why is she calling?

Moving the phone aside, Li Yifei saw Xu Shanshan’s number, sensing her impatience, and quickly explained, "Shanshan, I’m sorry, I thought it was my team calling. They are on a mission, I didn’t check the number..."

"Okay, I understand you’re on a mission, so I’m not angry, or else... I struggled to come back, yet you dare not meet me, be careful I might teach you a lesson!"

"Haha, Shanshan always understands me. Are you home?" Li Yifei asked.

Xu Shanshan, much softer now, spoke gently, "Yes, I happened to pass by Ying City, so I came home to have a look, but you’re not here!"

"How long can you stay?" Li Yifei inquired.

"Not long, leaving tomorrow. The secluded training isn’t finished yet, theoretically, I shouldn’t be home!"

"Really... When will it end? I want to pick you up!" Li Yifei said.

"No idea, Elder Qingqiu said soon, but I don’t know when!"

"Alright..." Li Yifei paused, then said, "I miss you."

"Silly, I miss you too, my stinky brother-in-law. I dream of you sometimes." Xu Shanshan’s tender words hid other emotions instantly.

Li Yifei took a breath, saying, "Me too, always wondering what my Shanshan is doing, if the training is hard or dangerous, also imagining her return as a true heroine, a sword fairy, so I look forward to it even more."

"Giggle, there’s no sword fairy, it’s more about mastering weapons, a personal understanding. Unfortunately, it requires time. If you can understand, you can integrate fully; if not, you’ll have to take it slow." Xu Shanshan laughed.
