Chapter 1274: Chapter 1324: Trip to JapanLi Yifei had been busy ensuring his wives grew stronger, but he never relaxed when it came to Li family matters. What needed to be done still had to be done. Building a powerful family wasnât just about individual strengthâit required economic power and advancements in various aspects.
The people living outside the family home had already established a points system. No matter what type of work someone did, they could earn points. This prevented those unable to carry out tasks abroad from feeling excluded or undervalued. Everyoneâs enthusiasm surged because those ten beautiful women, after some negotiation, genuinely moved many hearts.
To Li Yifei, this was excellent news. These people used to be unruly and hard to manage, but now they were self-disciplined, saving him plenty of effort. It seemed that rewards were indeed an effective way to boost loyalty. Why else would leaders throughout history reward their subordinates with money and women?
After nearly settling these matters, Li Yifei prepared to go to Japan. Aoki Reikoâs Aoki Group was planning to negotiate a deep collaboration project with him. This involved a massive sum of $2 billion, which was undoubtedly a major deal for the Li familyâsomething Li Yifei couldnât overlook.
For such a significant event, Li Yifei, as the chairman of Li Group, had to make an appearance himself.
So, Li Yifei brought Su Mengxin, Xu Yingying, He Fangqing, Su Yiyi, and a team of company staff to Japan.
Su Mengxin, since being with Li Yifei, had stayed home to cultivate her body and mind, hoping to bear a child for him. Now, after losing her son and grieving for some time, she had somewhat recovered. But Li Yifei knew it wasnât something she could easily forget, especially since he as a father couldnât stop thinking about it. The child was a piece of Su Mengxinâs fleshâof course, she missed him even more deeply.
Thus, this time, he insisted Su Mengxin come along to get some fresh air.
Aoki Reiko and her father, Aoki Ryota, personally welcomed Li Yifei at the airport, accompanied by several important figures from the company. For Aoki Group, this was a major collaboration, with the key objective of entering the Huaxia marketâthey couldnât take it lightly.
There were also reporters at the airport. Li Yifei faced them calmly, knowing such an event was bound to attract media attention.
Li Yifei shook hands with Aoki Ryota, exchanged a few formal remarks in front of the reporters, answered some of their questions, and then got into the Aoki Groupâs car.
Aoki Ryota and Li Yifei shared one car, while Aoki Reiko joined Xu Yingying and the others in another.
Aoki Ryota poured Li Yifei a cup of tea and said sincerely, "Chairman Li, I must first express my gratitude to you. Reiko benefited greatly from your care while in Huaxia."
Li Yifei received the teacup and said modestly, "Youâre really too kind, Chairman Aoki. Reiko and I could be considered friends, and when sheâs at my place, itâs only natural to show hospitality."
Aoki Ryota immediately responded, "This isnât just normal hospitalityâyouâve saved my daughter several times. I only have one child, so as a father, I genuinely thank you from the bottom of my heart."
Li Yifei smiled and said, "Alright, then Iâll accept this fatherâs gratitude. But when discussing business, letâs focus on business without mixing in personal feelings."
Aoki Ryota gave Li Yifei a meaningful glance and said, "Chairman Li is truly an extraordinary person. Very well, I will separate business from personal matters."
"Great! Now that you say that, we can really talk openly."
"Haha! Open discussion it is. But letâs not discuss business todayâletâs talk about personal matters instead."
As it still involved commercial negotiations, Li Yifei and his group were arranged to stay at a suite in a five-star hotel owned by Aoki Group. Everyone in his party stayed in the presidential suite.
Knowing the relationships between Xu Yingying, Su Mengxin, He Fangqing, Su Yiyi, and Li Yifei, Aoki Reiko thoughtfully placed all five of them in one room. Presidential suites had multiple rooms, so even without close ties, there was no issue sharing a suite.
After dropping Li Yifei off at the hotel, Aoki Ryota left, planning to return for the grand banquet that evening. The banquet featured many notable Japanese figures, aiming to showcase Li Yifeiâs status.
Aoki Reiko accompanied Li Yifeiâs group to the suite, smiling as she said, "This place definitely doesnât compare to your home. But Aoki Family doesnât have a garden as large as yours, so I hope you wonât mind."
Xu Yingying laughed, "Miss Reiko, youâre being way too modest. With Aoki Groupâs financial resources, you can build whatever youâd like. Itâs just that your group isnât as ostentatious as someone from our family here."
Aoki Reiko chuckled lightly and said, "More like my father doesnât have so many women. If he did, Iâm sure weâd have a huge garden too."
Li Yifeiâs face darkened. "Reiko, thatâs not fairâyouâre throwing shade at me as soon as you speak!"
Aoki Reiko giggled and said, "Feijun, Iâm not throwing shadeâIâm singing your praises!"
After some playful banter, Aoki Reiko looked at Su Mengxin and asked, "Sister Mengxin, howâs your little one?" She had stayed in contact with Li Yifeiâs family lately but hadnât been told about the missing child. The last time she saw Su Mengxin, Su Mengxin had been heavily pregnant. Now that her figure had returned to form, she clearly must have given birth.
When Reiko mentioned this, the Li family membersâ expressions turned grim.
Reiko was startled, asking, "Did... something happen?"
Su Mengxin forced a smile and said, "I gave birth to a son, but just one month after his birth, he was taken away."
"What?!" Aoki Reikoâs eyes widened. Her face turned furious as she exclaimed, "Who would do such a thing? Thatâs outrageous!"
Su Mengxin shook her head, replying, "We donât have any information at all. They took our son but havenât contacted us. Weâre completely in the dark."
Li Yifei interjected, "They clearly have a motive. Itâs just that the time hasnât come for them to make demands, so for now, all we can do is wait."
Reiko quickly said, "Iâll also conduct some investigations through Japanese channels. After all, Feijun does have enemies here in Japan."
Aoki Reiko had recently learned of Li Yifeiâs identity as Golden Eagle, which was now semi-public knowledge. Given her familyâs influence, it wasnât hard for her to uncover his formidable background.
Su Mengxin immediately expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much."
"Sister Mengxin, thereâs no need to thank me. Youâve all been so kind to meâduring my time with your family, I benefited greatly from your care. Iâm only trying to do my part."
However, Li Yifei and his group held little hope. Despite Li Yifeiâs investigations and his contact with Yamaguchi Groupâwhich had conducted an extensive search with its considerable resourcesâthey hadnât found any leads. It seemed unlikely that Reikoâs efforts would yield new information.
That evening, Li Yifeiâs group attended Aoki Groupâs grand banquet at the hotel. Besides Aoki Groupâs senior executives, there were also prominent figures from business and government circles in attendanceâclearly a gesture meant to honor Li Yifei.
The four women were all dressed elegantly. Su Mengxin, renowned as Huaxiaâs most beautiful woman, was breathtaking even in ordinary attireâdressed in fine evening wear, she was stunning beyond compare. Although Xu Yingying and the other three couldnât match Su Mengxinâs beauty, they were indisputably attractive women. As major guests of the banquet, they naturally drew countless admiring glances.
Here, Xu Yingying remained as Li Yifeiâs official wife. The other three women didnât disclose their relationships with him. While Li Yifei didnât mind people knowing the truth, drawing excessive attention was a different matter entirely. The media would revel in sensational gossip, and that could lead to unpredictable trouble.
Aoki Ryota was engaged in quiet conversation with Li Yifei when his phone rang. Apologizing briefly to Li Yifei, he stepped aside to answer. After saying a few words, his face showed a hint of shock. He spoke a few more sentences before finally hanging up.
Aoki Ryota returned with a smile and said to Li Yifei, "Feijun, a very important person is coming. I think youâll absolutely want to meet him."
This piqued Li Yifeiâs interest. "Alright, since you say so, I must meet him."
In such a setting, the way Li Yifei and Aoki Ryota addressed each other became much more casual and friendly.
"Letâs go and welcome him. This is someone people rarely get to encounterâa truly legendary figure. Itâs my great honor to know him."
Li Yifei grew even more intrigued, saying, "Anyone who makes Aoki feel honored must be exceptional indeed."
"Haha, absolutely extraordinary. In our country, only the highest-ranking officials have the privilege of meeting him, and they too treat him with respect. For him to come to me of his own accordâisnât that a tremendous honor?"
"Could it be one of your Japanese ninjas?" Li Yifeiâs mind suddenly jumped to Inoue Aoga, whom he hadnât seen since the Special Forces Competition.
"Exactly! The most powerful ninja!" Aoki Ryota emphasized
