Chapter 469 - Return to the Capital City again
Chapter 469 of "Super Soldier in the City" opens presenting: Chapter 469: Chapter 479: Return to the Capital City again"Sorry, Iâm Chu Xiaoyaoâs high school... Donât stop now!
Chapter 469: Chapter 479: Return to the Capital City again"Sorry, Iâm Chu Xiaoyaoâs high school classmate. My father is Wu Ziqiang, the chairman of New Flight Company," Wu Jianye said to Li Yifei, noticing that he looked somewhat older, definitely an adult, but not too old, making it unclear to him what Li Yifeiâs relationship with Chu Xiaoyao was. So, he took the initiative to introduce himself, and even specifically mentioned his father, as if everyone should recognize his fatherâs name.
Li Yifei didnât oppose boys pursuing Chu Xiaoyao, but Wu Jianye was just average-looking, and although his family seemed well-off, someone who constantly dropped their fatherâs name, even if they were good in their studies, probably wouldnât make it big. Plus, Chu Xiaoyao clearly wasnât into this kid, so Li Yifei simply smiled faintly and said, "Oh, I donât know him."
Normally, upon hearing Li Yifeiâs response, people would drop the topic, but Wu Jianye wore an incredulous look and said, "You actually donât know my dad? Our New Flight Company is one of the top ten enterprises in Mile City, with assets almost reaching ten billion, and my dad is even a member of the Peopleâs Congress."
Li Yifei found it amusing and said, "Then I still donât know him. Alright, youâre busy, Xiaoyao and I are leaving."
"But... but... sir, I still donât know your name," said Wu Jianye as he hurried after them, noticing that Chu Xiaoyao seemed to listen to Li Yifei and wanting to engage in conversation with him.
Chu Xiaoyao was already impatient and said, "This is my husband. Is there something you need?"
"Hus... husband?" Wu Jianyeâs mouth gaped open as if it could fit a goose egg, though honestly, considering the size of his mouth, an egg would probably be more fitting.
Seeing Wu Jianyeâs stunned expression gave Chu Xiaoyao a sense of triumph. She tilted her head and leaned on Li Yifeiâs shoulder, blissfully saying, "Yeah, this is my husband. Weâre already living together."
Wu Jianyeâs eyes bulged even wider, and after a long pause, he said, "You... Xiaoyao, how is that possible?"
Chu Xiaoyao batted her eyelids and said, "Why not? Iâve always liked older men, and Uncle hits the spot, so I moved in with him."
Wu Jianye shook his head and suddenly chuckled, saying, "Xiaoyao, youâre still so fond of joking. Haha, this must be your cousin, right?"
Li Yifei saw Chu Xiaoyaoâs face turn gloomy and nearly burst into laughter, while Chu Xiaoyao glared at him and snapped, "What cousin? This is my husband!"
Wu Jianye looked even more smug and said assuredly, "Alright, alright, letâs say he is. Xiaoyao, where are you two heading? Can I give you a lift?"
"Weâre not sitting! Who wants your crappy car?" Chu Xiaoyao snorted. Her family had a car, one that her father previously owned, worth only about two hundred thousand, but Li Yifei used to drive Porsches and Mercedes, so to her, an Audi A4 was a pretty good car for others, but not something she valued.
"Xiaoyao, maybe thereâs a misunderstanding. I admit Iâve always been fond of you, but Iâve only wanted to pursue you earnestly, with no other bad intentions. My family may be rich, but Iâm no wastrel, right? Youâre about to go to university, and you have the right and freedom to be in a relationship. Iâm sure this... your husband wouldnât mind, right?" Wu Jianye said.
Li Yifei found it entertaining. This guy called him as such and turned around to pursue Chu Xiaoyao while asking whether he minded. This guy might not be a wastrel, but he really was pretty dense.
Chu Xiaoyao gave Wu Jianye a contemptuous look and said, "Thatâs none of my concern. Iâm not the least bit interested in you. And youâre asking my husband for permission to chase me? You really are thick-skinned. If it werenât for my husbandâs good temper, he would have slapped you by now."
Wu Jianyeâs face turned red, but still, with a forced smile, he said, "Donât be like that, Xiaoyao. Look, we havenât seen each other for so long, and I just got back and saw you. Doesnât that mean weâre destined? Give me a chance, will you? Iâm an only child, and someday the New Flight Company will be mine. Think about it, you could be the lady of the New Flight Company."
"Will you ever stop?" Chu Xiaoyao shouted, stamping her foot in frustration at Wu Jianyeâs brazenness.
"No, no, donât be angry. Iâll leave first, and Iâll call you later," Wu Jianye retreated quickly, seeing Chu Xiaoyaoâs anger, and then jumped into his car, "Xiaoyao, youâre the one I like, Wu Jianye, and Iâll surely win you over."
"Asshole!" Chu Xiaoyao bent down to pick up a stone and threw it at Wu Jianyeâs car.
Wu Jianye stepped on the gas, and the car sped away, fortunately not being hit by Chu Xiaoyaoâs stone. After driving off, his face turned dark, and his eyes glinted ominously as he sneered, "You little brat, my liking you gives you face. Youâre pulling this stunt on me? The woman I, Wu Jianye, set my eyes on, canât escape so easily."
This Wu Jianye, although he seemed a bit foolish before, now appeared quite sinister. This kid was certainly not simple; hiding his true intentions so well, he was likely one of the best among his peers, and even those who have lived for many years probably canât match his cunning.
Wu Jianye left, and Li Yifei couldnât help laughing out loud. Chu Xiaoyao immediately scolded, "Uncle, what are you laughing at? Someone wants to pursue your wife, and you still laugh."
"Hehe, I was just finding that kid quite amusing."
"Amusing my foot! Heâs so annoying. Next time you see him, just drive him away. Iâm so frustrated with it all! Humph, donât think for a moment I donât see what youâre plotting. You just want me to get swept off my feet by someone else and then leave you, donât you? Well, forget it. Even if he comes with mountains of gold and silver and is handsomer than those big stars, I wouldnât give him a glance. I only like you, Uncle."
"I didnât mean that at all. Xiaoyao, youâve been so kind to me, how could I not understand that?" Li Yifei said with a smile, wrapping an arm around Chu Xiaoyaoâs shoulder. "Letâs go, shall we? Letâs go shopping today and buy you some more things. In a few days, we can head out for a trip."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoyaoâs mood immediately lifted, and she urged Li Yifei to walk faster while holding onto his arm.
"Uncle, are you burdened with worries?" After some shopping, Chu Xiaoyao tilted her head and pouted at Li Yifei.
"Not at all..." Li Yifei was somewhat insincere.
"Uncle, Iâm not forcing you. If you donât like it, then we can just go home, or we can do whatever you like, okay?"
"Xiaoyao..." Li Yifei hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to take a trip to the Capital City."
"Ah? What for? How long will you be gone?" Chu Xiaoyao immediately grabbed Li Yifeiâs arm, her face filled with anxiety.
Li Yifei forced a smile and replied, "Then letâs forget about it."
Chu Xiaoyaoâs lips curled into a pout as she said, "Then you go, Uncle. I know youâre worried I wonât like it, concerned that Iâll be sad without you. But really, you donât need to worry so much, Xiaoyao is not that weak."
"Alright, stop being brave. What if I said Iâm taking you with me, would you come?" Li Yifei patted Chu Xiaoyaoâs shoulder. After all, he was going to see his daughter, and taking Chu Xiaoyao along wasnât a big deal, so he decided to go check it out.
Chu Xiaoyaoâs eyes brightened instantly, and she said joyfully, "Oh yes, yes! Uncle, why didnât you say so earlier? I thought you were going to leave me at home."
"Hehe... If I really left you at home, youâd probably be crying every day, wouldnât you?" Li Yifei said affectionately as he pinched Chu Xiaoyaoâs nose.
"I... definitely would," Chu Xiaoyao giggled.
The following morning, Li Yifei and Chu Xiaoyao had already set foot in the Capital City. Chu Xiaoyao had been to the Capital City before, but that was when she traveled there with her parents, following a tour group. It was a rushed visit, not as leisurely as it was now.
Moreover, being alone with Li Yifei made it even more exciting for her. As for what they were doing there, she didnât much care. As long as she could be with Li Yifei, nothing else mattered.
Li Yifei was all too familiar with every aspect of Capital City. Although he wasnât from there, during his missions, he knew every street and household inside and out. Having left Capital City only half a year ago, the city hadnât changed much, and everything was much the same as when he left.
Li Yifei exhaled softly, frowning at the air quality of Capital City, which seemed much worse than that of Mile City. Even though this metropolis was far more bustlingâa comparison Mile City couldnât hold a candle toâthe air quality simply couldnât match that of Mile City. This was one of the main reasons Li Yifei disliked the Capital City.
The address Su Mengxin had given him was already etched in his mind, and he was eager to see it for himself. However, he still reined in his impatience. Before he could get a clear picture, he needed to do some investigating; otherwise, a misunderstanding could be embarrassing and potentially cause unnecessary trouble.
First, he found a hotel for Chu Xiaoyao and himself. There was no need to skimp, so they stayed in a five-star hotel and even shared a double room. Since they lived together at home, there was no point in pretending otherwise when abroad.
Once settled in, Li Yifei made a phone call to Zheng Mingrui. Although Su Mengxin was influential, her main strength lay in her powerful background and personal abilities. For actual tasks, Su Mengxin couldnât compare to the Flying Hawk Squad. Especially in terms of investigations, she fell short of Zheng Mingrui.
