Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1284 - 1334: Li Yi Came

Li Yifei originally intended to just send two people over to take care of things. He still had matters to attend to in the provincial capital. But when Chu Xiaoyao sent him a WeChat message in the evening, Li Yifei decided to go and handle it himself.

Judging by what Chu Xiaoyao had told him, he knew his team could handle it, but he still felt uneasy. Besides, he had nothing planned for the next morning. It had been a while since he last saw Chu Xiaoyao, so he figured he should pay her a visit. Thus, he got an early start and prepared to set off.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?" A man in his thirties crossed paths with Li Yifei in the hallway.

"I’m here for a meeting in the provincial capital. Third Brother, what brings you here?" The man before him was Ye Yunzhu’s third cousin, Ye Ningfeng.

Ye Ningfeng chuckled and said, "I’m here for a meeting too. Will you stop by at the house later? Grandpa’s been thinking about you."

Li Yifei shook his head and replied, "Not this time. I have something to do later this morning. I need to make a trip to Xiaohu Village."

"Xiaohu Village? What are you going there for?"

"Little Yue and Xiaoyao ran into trouble over there. I’m going to check it out."

Zhou Xiaoyue was Ye Ningfeng’s younger cousin, and Chu Xiaoyao had also visited the Ye family with Zhou Xiaoyue several times. As a result, Ye Ningfeng was quite familiar with Chu Xiaoyao. He quickly asked, "What sort of trouble did they get into?"

"Do you have anything going on this morning? If not, come along. You’re with the Provincial Public Security Bureau, after all. Some things might be easier to handle with you there."

"Sure!" Ye Ningfeng agreed without a second thought. It wasn’t just that he was free; even if he had something urgent to attend to, if Li Yifei asked him to go, he wouldn’t refuse. The Ye family relied heavily on the Li family, and Grandpa had long instructed that any request from Li Yifei was to be fully supported, no questions asked.

"By the way, the road there isn’t great, is it? You’d better get an off-road vehicle, something like a Jeep."

"No problem." Ye Ningfeng immediately made a call, and shortly after, someone delivered a Range Rover.

When he offered to drive, Li Yifei slid into the driver’s seat without a word. Helpless, Ye Ningfeng took the passenger seat and joked, "Riding shotgun while my brother-in-law drives? Well, that gives me some bragging rights."

Li Yifei laughed and said, "You’re my brother-in-law. If I drive and you ride shotgun, isn’t everything just perfect?"

Ye Ningfeng grinned widely, feeling rather proud internally. Li Yifei’s standing held considerable weight—he was practically the head of the family. Even though his family didn’t have a strong presence in officialdom, their backing was formidable. As a mere team leader in the Public Security Bureau, he couldn’t hold a candle to Li Yifei.

Li Yifei drove relatively cautiously within the provincial capital, but once out on the open roads, his speed ramped up dramatically. Watching the speedometer climb higher and higher, Ye Ningfeng’s heart initially raced. However, as time passed, he settled down; despite the car’s speed, Li Yifei drove smoothly and skillfully—it was truly impressive.

During the drive, Li Yifei explained the situation Chu Xiaoyao and the others had encountered in Xiaohu Village. Listening, Ye Ningfeng was incensed, his eyes blazing. "These bastards have gone too far! Damned scumbags—I’ll have them all arrested!"

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Exactly. It’s ideal for you to be here. If it were just me, I’d probably just beat them to a pulp."

"A beating would be well-deserved! You handle the beating, and I’ll handle the arrests afterward."

Li Yifei laughed heartily and said, "Deal!"

At around seven, Li Yifei and the others arrived at the entrance of Xiaohu Village. From there, the road was impassable by car, so the two men had to proceed on foot into the village.

The village head’s house was easy to spot—its small two-story structure stood out starkly among the otherwise modest village homes. Li Yifei and the others quickly arrived at the courtyard gate of the village head’s house.

"Honey!" Chu Xiaoyao had received Li Yifei’s WeChat message and was waiting for him at the gate. Seeing him arrive, she ran over in a sprint, throwing herself into his arms.

Li Yifei embraced her, gently patting her back, and asked, "Nothing serious, right?"

Chu Xiaoyao lifted her head and grinned mischievously, "Nothing at all. We were just lazing around this morning, waiting for you to arrive before getting up." She caught sight of Ye Ningfeng at this point, and her smile brightened. "Third Brother, you’re here too!"

Ye Ningfeng smiled warmly, "Of course I am! When you run into trouble, can I sit idly by?"

At this moment, Zhou Xiaoyue also rushed over to greet Li Yifei and Ye Ningfeng. The four of them then entered the village head’s house together.

Upon seeing two men walk in, the village head frowned and asked, "What’s your business here?"

With Li Yifei there, Chu Xiaoyao’s confidence surged. She snorted and said, "Village head, we’re here to look over the accounts. Bring out your ledgers."

"The accounts? Are you certain?" The village head’s face darkened instantly.

Chu Xiaoyao sneered, "That’s right. We’re here to scrutinize the accounts."

The village head glanced at Li Yifei and Ye Ningfeng, noting their polished appearances, which suggested they weren’t ordinary people. Ignoring Chu Xiaoyao, he addressed Li Yifei instead, "Who exactly are you all?"

Li Yifei fixed the village head with an icy stare and responded coldly, "Our identities are irrelevant. My wife donated money to your village’s school, and I demand to know where the funds went."

The village head’s face twitched as he let out a cold chuckle, "Fine, wait here. I’ll have the accountant bring you the ledgers." With that, he stepped outside.

The boy who had been framed the night before spoke up anxiously, "Xiaoyao, will this really work? They’re...well..."

Chu Xiaoyao raised her brow confidently, "Don’t worry. With my husband here, not even God himself could touch you."

The boy glanced at Li Yifei, only to quickly look away; there was an undeniable aura of authority around Li Yifei that made him, a mere student, feel too intimidated to meet his gaze.

Zhou Xiaoyue chimed in with a giggle, "Rest assured. My brother-in-law’s here, and that village head is in serious trouble."

"Brother-in-law?" A girl nearby looked at Zhou Xiaoyue in confusion.

Zhou Xiaoyue playfully stuck out her tongue, "Xiaoyao’s birthday is earlier than mine, so calling him my brother-in-law makes perfect sense."

Just then, a man rushed in, breathless. It was the principal of the village school. Chu Xiaoyao asked in surprise, "Principal, why are you here?"

The principal’s face betrayed his alarm, "You need to leave, right now! I overheard the village head making calls—he’s summoning his two sons. If they show up, you won’t be able to get away!"

Chu Xiaoyao flashed a sweet smile, "No need to worry. Let him call whoever he wants."

The principal stamped his foot anxiously, "You don’t realize how dangerous his sons are! His younger son is guilty of murder, yet somehow he’s walking free. And his elder son is a big deal in the township—he’s the Deputy Township Chief. No one dares to mess with them!"

"Just a measly Deputy Township Chief? It’s nothing."

"You..." The principal was beside himself, "Even if you have powerful connections, this place is remote—your people can’t get here in time!"

"Principal, please don’t worry. With my husband here, no matter how many people they bring, we’ll be fine."

"Just the two of them..." The principal frowned deeply. Even though he could sense their backgrounds might be significant, the village head’s younger son was tied to the criminal underworld. No amount of wealth provided immunity against that.

Nonetheless, Chu Xiaoyao showed gratitude, "Principal, thank you for your concern. We know what we’re doing. Please go back to the school and wait. I promise to make them return every penny and ensure the children have a proper learning environment." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Zhou Xiaoyue chimed in with a cheerful smile, "That’s right, Principal. Head back and wait for the good news. You’re a good principal."

The principal gritted his teeth, saying, "Then I’ll go contact the children’s parents. You genuinely care about these kids—so do their families. They won’t stand idly by."

Chu Xiaoyao quickly interjected, "No need for all that trouble. Really, everything will be fine."

Despite her reassurances, the principal didn’t believe her and hurried off. Still, the thought of gathering parents posed its own challenge. This particular primary school served multiple villages in the area, with Xiaohu Village contributing only a handful of students. The rest came from neighboring villages, which sat on the far side of the mountains. How could he quickly rally so many parents?

A while later, the village head returned, accompanied by an elderly man clutching the ledgers, his head hung low and his demeanor ridden with guilt.

"Here we go. The accountant is here, and the books are ready. Take a look," the village head announced nonchalantly, seemingly unperturbed by any potential repercussions.

None of them were particularly adept at reviewing accounts. The only reason they demanded them yesterday was out of desperation. Now faced with the ledgers, they truly felt overwhelmed. Still, they made an effort to glance at them, if only to play the part.

But their review lasted barely five minutes before a commotion erupted outside—a boisterous crowd stormed in. The village head’s expression morphed into a sinister grin. "I warned you before—you should’ve just left. Now, you won’t be able to leave even if you want to."

At this point, both Chu Xiaoyao and Zhou Xiaoyue abandoned their inspection of the ledgers. Rather than worried, they seemed gleeful. The more trouble these culprits stirred, the worse things would end for the village head. But the other three people in their group paled as more than ten men barged into the room.

"Dad, who’s causing you trouble?" A towering man in his thirties bellowed as he scanned Li Yifei and the others with a piercing gaze.

The village head pointed at Li Yifei’s group, "It’s them, Blockhead. Take care of it."

Blockhead, the village head’s second son, stepped right up to Li Yifei. He instinctively assumed Li Yifei was the one calling the shots and sneered, "Hey, punk, giving my dad trouble? Tired of living, are we?"

"Second Brother, why waste words? Just break their legs and toss them out."

"Haha, no way. Those three chicks are kinda nice, though. Can’t waste them. Gotta have some fun first."

"Hahaha..."

The mob burst into raucous laughter, utterly dismissing Li Yifei and his group—arrogance radiating from their faces.
