Chapter 221 - Not Afraid Without a Background
Chapter 221 of "Super Soldier in the City" opens with: Chapter 221: Chapter 222: Not Afraid Without a Background"Shengyou, havenât you seen how many reports... See what unfolds next!
Chapter 221: Chapter 222: Not Afraid Without a Background"Shengyou, havenât you seen how many reports there are about this kind of stuff on the internet nowadays? If this gets out, youâre screwed," Liu Dayong could only earnestly urge Xiao Shengyou, fearing he would bring up his mother.
Xiao Shengyou disdainfully curled his lip and said, "So what about the internet? With just a word from my dad, all posts will be deleted."
Liu Dayong cursed Xiao Shengyou inwardly, thinking him a fool. The Public Security Bureau indeed had the power to delete posts, but once those posts were made, before being deleted, they would surely be caught by some reporters. By then, if the reporters made a big deal out of it, deleting the posts would be useless. If the netizens started making a fuss, even if they couldnât actually send the father and son duo to jail, it would at least cause them enough trouble to worry about.
But there was no need to say these things to Xiao Shengyou because the guy simply wouldnât listen, so he could only say, "Just wait here for a bit. Iâll go and ask them what kind of background they have. If itâs a big one, weâll have to think twice. If they donât have much of a background, then we can deal with them afterwards to vent your anger."
Xiao Shengyou, although clueless, did know a thing or two about harsh realities. Liu Dayong doing this much was already giving him face; he couldnât expect Liu Dayong to listen to all of his demands.
After soothing Xiao Shengyou, Liu Dayong walked into the room where Li Yifei and his friends were, with a policeman in tow.
Sitting down, Liu Dayong looked at Li Yifei and started with some basic questions about his name and age, then asked, "Your family relations?"
Li Yifei was quite familiar with the Public Security System and knew that this question was not supposed to be asked. He smiled lightly and said, "Do you really need to ask that?"
Liu Dayong appeared somewhat embarrassed but nevertheless kept a stern face and said, "Answer what youâre asked."
Li Yifei nonchalantly lit a cigarette, replying, "No father, no mother, so no family relations to speak of."
Liu Dayongâs brow furrowed at the responseâno parents meant no background. But he still didnât dare take it lightly and asked, "Where do you work now?"
Li Yifei gave a straight answer, "Dreamfly Company."
Liu Dayong carefully recollected. In his memory, he was aware of the big companies in Mile City, and he had never heard of Dreamfly, meaning it must be a small company.
Mengfei had only recently been established and hadnât made much impact yet, so not many people knew about it. Only some influential figures in Mile City were aware that Dreamfly Company was set to make big moves in the city, something beyond the likes of Liu Dayong to know.
"What have you done before?" Liu Dayong, meticulous as ever, pressed on with his questions.
Li Yifei smiled lightly and said, "Graduated from high school and then served six years in the military."
"High school... six years in the military..." Liu Dayong felt more confidentâgoing straight to the military after high school and coming back after just six years meant Li Yifei wasnât a military academy grad but a regular soldier, at best having served a few years as a volunteer. His fighting skills had definitely been honed in the military, along with his bravery, but this didnât mean Li Yifei had any sort of significant background.
With a fierce slap on the table, Liu Dayong stood up, glared at Li Yifei, and roared, "Li Yifei, you dare to assault someone right in the police station, this is utterly outrageous! In the name of upholding the solemnity of the law, Iâm detaining you right now."
When Liu Dayong suddenly asserted his authority, it was expected by Li Yifei but completely caught Su Yiyi and Meng Xiaofei off guard, startling both of them.
Li Yifei sneered mockingly, "Director Liu is really something, eh? Now that you know I donât have any background, you start throwing your weight around."
With Li Yifei calling him out directly, Liu Dayongâs face darkened, but now he had no worries about Li Yifei and was even more irritated because Li Yifei had intimidated him before. He said with viciousness, "It seems like you need a lesson to understand the dignity of the law. Cuff him!"
The policeman sitting beside Liu Dayong suddenly stood up. He had been irked by Li Yifei for a whileâthis was their territory after all, and Li Yifei had been pushing them around. Now, finally about to handcuff Li Yifei and take care of him, the policeman appeared very excited as he pulled out the handcuffs and advanced on Li Yifei.
Meng Xiaofei became anxious and quickly stood in front of Li Yifei, shouting, "You canât cuff him, weâll just leave."
Liu Dayong snorted coldly, "I told you to leave earlier, and you didnât. Now you canât leave even if you want to. Handcuff him!"
Su Yiyi was not as bold as Meng Xiaofei and was terrified by now, clinging tightly to Li Yifeiâs arm and stuttering, "Brother Li, what do we do now?"
Li Yifei patted Su Yiyiâs hand and pulled Meng Xiaofei behind him, blew a smoke ring, and said, "Director Liu, are you sure you want to handcuff me?"
Sensing that Li Yifei still remained calm at this moment, Liu Dayong started to feel uneasy inside. No matter what, he felt that Li Yifei was very confident, which obviously didnât make sense. Yet he couldnât find anything in Li Yifeiâs background that should scare him, making him think he was suffering from imaginary fears. In frustration, he shouted angrily, "Handcuff him."
Without another word, the policeman went to grab Li Yifeiâs arm, ready to handcuff him.
Li Yifei didnât resist, instead, he stretched out his hand to let the policeman cuff him, which made the policeman pause in surprise; it was all too easy.
"Brother Li!" Meng Xiaofei and Su Yiyi were both frantic, shouting out loud. Li Yifei was their pillar of strength, and now that he was handcuffed, they were at a loss.
Li Yifei simply smiled and said, "Donât worry, itâs going to be fine."
With a grim smirk, Liu Dayong said, "There wonât be any trouble, you just wait." With these words, he walked out with the policeman, closing the door behind him.
"Shengyou, I just asked around; heâs merely an employee at a company, served a few years in the military, and doesnât have any notable connections."
Xiao Shengyou said through gritted teeth, "I told you, a little bastard like that is nothing special. Director Liu, youâre really too cautious. Did you handcuff him?"
"Yes, heâs cuffed, but Shengyou..."
Xiao Shengyou cut off Director Liu mid-sentence, saying venomously, "Good, then Iâll deal with him. He dared to hit me. Today I must make him understand the consequences of hitting me, Xiao Shengyou."
Having Xiao Shengyou, a civilian, come to the police station to deal with Li Yifei wasnât ideal, but thinking of Xiao Shengyouâs father, Liu Dayong was no longer afraid. If anything happened, Xiao Shengyouâs father would handle it, so what was there to fear? Still, he hurriedly added, "Shengyou, take something with you, donât make it too obvious."
Xiao Shengyouâs eyes lit up as he hurriedly replied, "Excellent, thatâs the way to enjoy it."
Back in the room, Su Yiyi and Meng Xiaofei were clenching Li Yifeiâs arms, one on each side. Having the handcuffs on was a huge deal for them, like the sky was falling. Su Yiyi was extremely worried, uncertain of what to do now, while Meng Xiaofei said with remorse, "Brother Li, Iâm so sorry, itâs all my fault that youâre in this mess."
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Donât worry, they canât do anything to me."
With eyes red, Meng Xiaofei said, "Brother Li, stop comforting me. You are handcuffed now; what can you possibly do? Oh, youâre not planning to break out, are you? Thatâs a serious crime. Even if we get locked up for a few days, itâll be fine once weâre out. But if you use force, youâll be on the run forever."
Yifei couldnât help but laugh and said, "What are you thinking? Am I that stupid? Even if I can fight, I canât just act recklessly. Donât worry. In a little while, theyâll be begging us to leave."
Meng Xiaofei and Su Yiyi looked at Li Yifei in surprise, disbelieving as they said, "Really?"
Li Yifei spoke with absolute certainty, "Of course itâs true. Just you wait and see."
Seeing how confident Li Yifei was, Meng Xiaofei and Su Yiyi felt a bit more at ease. But at that moment, the door was pushed open, and three men walked in.
At the sight of these three, Su Yiyi and Meng Xiaofei suddenly tensed up because they werenât policemen but Xiao Shengyouâs men, who despite not being police officers were holding police batons, wearing sinister smiles that clearly meant no good.
"What are you going to do?" Meng Xiaofei quickly stepped in front of Li Yifei and asked loudly. Su Yiyi was trembling slightly though she didnât speak, but she stood with Meng Xiaofei, blocking the way of the three men.
With his right hand holding a baton, Xiao Shengyou tapped it gently on the palm of his left hand, his gaze sweeping over Meng Xiaofei and Su Yiyi without restraint, a lecherous smile on his face. "Donât be so anxious, beauties. Relax, after I take care of this little guy, Iâll make sure to serve you well."
"Pah!" Meng Xiaofei spat fiercely and shouted angrily, "This is a police station, how dare you act wildly here?"
Xiao Shengyou and his companions burst into laughter. One of his companions said with pride, "You know this is a police station, so you should realize that itâs like Shengyouâs home here. In his home, he can do whatever he wants to you. You better be smart, girls, and step aside. If you do, after Shengyou takes care of you nicely, you might still enjoy it. But if you resist, itâll be hard on you when we have to get rough later."
"Shameless!" Meng Xiaofei and Su Yiyi both cursed in unison. Su Yiyi, less worldly, had never met such a shameless man; she was disgusted upon hearing such obscene language.
Xiao Shengyou laughed heartily, "Actually, Iâm even more shameless in bed. Youâll find out soon enough. Guys, letâs have some fun today. Weâll deal with the guy first, but there will be a share for you too with the women." The other two menâs eyes gleamed with excitement as they slapped their batons and advanced towards Li Yifei and the girls with sinister laughter.
