Chapter 154: Sticking Your Photo

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Sticking Your PhotoSu Mengxin left several cars here, besides the flashy red Porsche sports car driven by Li Yifei, there were also two BMWs, two Mercedez, one of which was a black bulletproof BMW, Xu Yingying decided to keep that for herself to drive for the time being.

She also lent another BMW to He Fangqing temporarily, so that the three of them could work more conveniently. As for the company’s real growth, these cars would definitely need to be managed collectively. Since Su Mengxin trusted her so much, she would not just enjoy herself here; she would handle everything in accordance with normal company management and would not waste a dime of the company.

Just after 4 PM, Li Yifei drove home and left the Ferrari in the underground parking garage. Although the car had excellent performance, as a man he always felt somewhat awkward driving such a car.

But as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Officer Lin, the policewoman, watching him with a malicious gaze.

"Hello, Officer Lin." Seeing Lin Qiong put Li Yifei in a good mood; teasing the policewoman was always a bit of fun.

"Where did you get this car?" Lin Qiong stomped over to Li Yifei and asked with a stern face.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "Do you mean you’ve never seen this car before?"

Lin Qiong glanced at the license plate and suddenly remembered it belonged to Li Yifei’s female neighbor, but still asked with suspicion, "It’s her car. How come you’re driving it?"

"We’re neighbors, alright? Is it wrong to borrow it from her for a bit?"

Lin Qiong’s retort left Li Yifei speechless, and he felt a bit irate inside, mainly because Li Yifei was such a sleazebag, conning one woman after another – just the other day it was a company president, and now he’s hooked up with a rich woman of considerable standing.

Seeing Lin Qiong silent, Li Yifei said with a smile, "Officer Lin, you’re back early today? Seems like it’s not even time for you to get off work yet, is it?"

"Is there a problem with me having things to do?" Lin Qiong glared at Li Yifei annoyed and walked away with big strides.

Li Yifei chuckled and didn’t pay Lin Qiong any more attention, heading straight for the elevator. But after just a few steps, Lin Qiong chased after him and asked, "Aren’t you going to invite me to sit in your apartment?"

"If Officer Lin wants to visit, of course, I should invite you. But isn’t that a bit inappropriate?" Li Yifei was puzzled by Lin Qiong’s unusual behavior.

"I have some questions for you, let’s go." Lin Qiong said and walked straight to the elevator entrance.

Once in Li Yifei’s apartment, Li Yifei poured a glass of water for Lin Qiong, then both of them sat down on the sofa. Lin Qiong’s gaze scanned around Li Yifei’s place before asking, "What’s your relationship with Brother Hu?"

"There’s no relationship at all." Li Yifei lit a cigarette and took a comfortable drag.

Lin Qiong glared, saying, "Stop bullshitting me. Do you think I’m blind? I know very well what kind of person Brother Hu is, he’s definitely not a good sort. That day during the fight, he actually held back against you, that would be impossible if there was no relationship, wouldn’t it?"

Li Yifei laughed, "Maybe he thought I wasn’t easy to mess with, so he backed off, no?"

"You’re not easy to mess with? So you mean to say that you’re more powerful than Brother Hu?" Lin Qiong stared intensely at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei widened his eyes at Lin Qiong, then suddenly reached out to touch her forehead. Lin Qiong quickly slapped his hand away, angrily saying, "What are you doing?"

"I’m checking if you have a fever, Officer Lin," he said.

"Why would I have a fever? Stop beating around the bush with me; tell me straight up, what exactly do you do?"

Li Yifei genuinely didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, saying, "Officer Lin, can’t we cut down on the imagination here? That day, we were about to clash, and because you suddenly showed up – considering you are the newly appointed Deputy Director – he held back from hitting me. And now you’re suggesting that I’m more powerful than him. Oh, you’re right, my power is indeed greater than his, I have Officer Lin backing me up, don’t I?"

Lin Qiong had been investigating Li Yifei for the past couple of days, but looking at Li Yifei’s file, there was nothing suspicious, and he was even freshly discharged from the military. The thought that he could be connected to the Underworld was something she didn’t really believe. Today was just about trying to bluster Li Yifei.

Glancing at Li Yifei, Lin Qiong said, "I heard you are quite a fighter, taking on seven guys by yourself and easily knocking them down."

"That’s not really true. I’m not that impressive. It’s just that people like to exaggerate. They had just had a fight with some high school students and were all exhausted, so I took the opportunity to knock them down. Besides, you should know that in a fight, as long as you dare to throw the first punch, you often gain the upper hand."

Lin Qiong stared at Li Yifei and suddenly stood up, saying, "Then try to spar with me again."

"Officer Lin, what are you doing? Why should I spar with you?" Li Yifei immediately pretended to be very scared and shrank back.

With a sudden move, Lin Qiong grabbed Li Yifei’s collar fiercely and said, "I said we’re going to spar."

"Officer Lin, you are a police officer. You can’t force people like this."

"I’m forcing you?" Lin Qiong’s face grew even more displeased, and she said through gritted teeth, "I remember the first time I saw you, you were trying to open your neighbor’s door. I wanted to arrest you then, and instead, you entangled with me for a long time."

Finally, Li Yifei realized why Lin Qiong was looking for him; she must have connected it to that day’s incident and figured out that Li Yifei had been pretending to be weak. He chuckled and said, "Officer Lin, that was just a joke. Of course, I wouldn’t dare to use dirty tricks on a police officer, and I didn’t want you to mistake me for a thief, did I?"

"Is that so..." Lin Qiong snorted coldly and said, "Then why were you hugging and holding me, even pressing me down under you? Don’t tell me you were doing that just to avoid using dirty tricks on me."

"This... this..." Li Yifei stammered a couple of times, then with a forceful shake of his hand, he said, "Fine, I’ll tell you the truth."

Lin Qiong’s face stayed the same, but she felt quite smug, finally able to pressure Li Yifei into telling the truth. She said sternly, "Speak."

"Officer Lin," Li Yifei’s gaze suddenly became extraordinarily gentle, and he leaned closer to Lin Qiong, "Officer Lin, do you believe in love at first sight?"

"What?" Lin Qiong felt a shiver looking at Li Yifei’s gaze, especially with his mention of love at first sight, which gave her a sudden bad premonition. She hastily retreated, put her hand out to stop Li Yifei, and said, "Stop beating around the bush and just speak."

"Officer Lin, the moment I saw you, I felt you were the person I had been waiting for all my life. Out of misplaced affection, I did those things to you. I know I’m not worthy of you, and it’s impossible for you to like me in this lifetime. Even if I did something bad to you at that time, to have you hate me for the rest of your life would be worth it..."

"Shut up!" Lin Qiong’s face turned pale, feeling a wave of goosebumps all over, and she shouted aloud, standing up with a start.

"Officer Lin, I’ve been holding these words in for so long. Just let me say them. I really like you a lot. That day when you got drunk and stayed at my place, I was overjoyed. If it were any other woman, I might have done something despicable, but you are my goddess. I didn’t entertain a single frivolous thought and just took care of you. I can’t describe how happy I was. I think about you while working during the day and at night; I even thought about buying an inflatable doll and sticking your photo on it, then holding it every day..."

"Ah!" Lin Qiong screamed out loud, feeling a wave of nausea. This guy was just too creepy, even thinking about getting an inflatable doll and sticking her photo on it. This was just disgusting beyond words.

She rushed into Li Yifei’s only small bedroom, first checking the bed, which had nothing on it, then pulled open the wardrobe and flipped through it, also finding nothing.

By then, Li Yifei had followed her in and said, "Officer Lin, you don’t have to look. I know my thoughts are filthy, which is a desecration of my goddess. It was just a thought; I didn’t actually buy one."

Lin Qiong breathed a sigh of relief but, seeing Li Yifei’s "tender and loving" gaze, she couldn’t help shivering and quickly pushed Li Yifei away. In the blink of an eye, she ran out of Li Yifei’s front door.

Once inside the elevator, Lin Qiong shivered several times and thought, "No, no, I can’t see this guy ever again. He’s just too despicable. How can there be such shameless men in this world? Oh heavens, send down a few bolts of lightning and smite this guy dead."

After scaring off Lin Qiong, Li Yifei couldn’t help laughing loudly in the room. He knew a bit about this female police officer. Although she didn’t seem to be the violent type, she was indeed a woman with strong career ambitions. Thus, when it came to feelings, she was quite straightforward. Saying those vulgar words to Lin Qiong was definitely too much for her to bear.

Thinking about how Lin Qiong would avoid him in the future seemed amusing to him. Of course, Li Yifei’s main concern was that Lin Qiong was now suspicious of him about some matters. If he didn’t scare this girl away, she would certainly come to bother him from time to time. Although Li Yifei wasn’t afraid of Lin Qiong finding any evidence of wrongdoing on him, having her watch him like a hawk would indeed make him uncomfortable.

After tidying up, he made a simple dinner and started eating alone. There was nobody else but him at the dining table, which made him feel somewhat uneasy. Recently, he had either dined with Xu Yingying, Xu Shanshan, Su Mengxin, or Meng Xiaofei. Having the company of beauties always made dining more appetizing than eating alone.

Before he even took a bite, a knocking sound came from the door. Li Yifei immediately went to open it. Those who visited him at home were hardly ever men, always women. But when he opened the door and saw this particular beauty, Li Yifei still frowned.
