Chapter 580 - Are You Superman?

Chapter 580: Chapter 592: Are You Superman?At that moment, the bodyguards had just laboriously dragged the massive shark onto the beach. Staring at the shark, they were all agape. The shark weighed over a ton, and aside from some small bullet holes, there was a large hole in its huge head, which was the fatal wound. It was surely made by Li Yifei. They couldn’t fathom how a lone man in the sea could have inflicted such a gaping hole in a shark’s head. Their gazes towards Li Yifei instantly turned as if they were looking at a monster.

Su Mengfei, Xiao Ling’er, and Zheng Yuling, although scared out of their wits earlier, were now captivated by the enormous shark. Their experiences were vast, but they had never seen such a shark before, and it was killed by Li Yifei alone, which made it all the more extraordinary to them.

The bodyguards, along with the three women, couldn’t figure out how Li Yifei had killed the shark. Xiao Ling’er and the others ran over to Li Yifei and Su Mengxin’s side and saw Su Mengxin tending to Li Yifei’s leg wound, so they sat down on the sand as well.

"Brother-in-law, how did you kill that shark?" Su Mengfei was the first to ask out of curiosity.

Although Su Mengxin was also curious, she was more concerned about Li Yifei’s well-being and immediately said, "Haven’t you seen your brother-in-law is not only injured but also exhausted? Let him rest for a while."

"Oh, then brother-in-law, take a rest for a while," Su Mengfei said, this time not insisting, while Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling also behaved very demurely.

Previously, they had always found it odd that Su Mengxin chose Li Yifei as a boyfriend, but today they realized that Li Yifei indeed deserved to be her boyfriend. What a powerful man he was, having killed a shark in the sea. He was practically a freak, a superhero.

Also, during the shark encounter, Li Yifei had rescued them first and then faced the shark alone, effectively saving their lives. Therefore, their impression of Li Yifei drastically improved, filled with both admiration and gratitude.

Li Yifei smiled and said, "It’s alright now. I was just too tired earlier. That shark was really fierce; it almost claimed my life."

Seeing Li Yifei talking, Su Mengfei immediately said excitedly, "Then tell us about what happened just now, brother-in-law."

Li Yifei smiled and said, "Alright, after I threw you out of the water, the shark charged at me. There’s no way to outrun a shark in the sea; that would be suicide. And turning my back to the shark would have meant letting it have its way with me. So I hastily dived deeper, and the shark followed immediately. As fast as sharks are in water, it was about to catch me in the blink of an eye."

The girls gasped, fully able to imagine the terrifying situation with a shark chasing them, its gaping maw ready to devour.

Li Yifei continued, "I had no other choice but to dodge to the side when the shark lunged at me, narrowly avoiding its attack. After a few times like this, although I hadn’t been bitten, I had provoked its aggressiveness even more. It relentlessly pursued to bite me. I wouldn’t be able to hold out against it for long, so I seized an opportunity and found a sharp rock in the sea."

"After that, when the shark charged at me again, I dodged its attack, then managed to grab onto its dorsal fin and clung to its back, hitting its head with the rock. The shark’s skull was incredibly hard. I don’t know how many times I had to hit it before it finally died."

The telling by Li Yifei was straightforward, yet the girls felt how thrilling it had been.

The bodyguards, upon hearing Li Yifei’s account, were secretly astonished. They could imagine that the situation must have been far from as simple as he described it. A slight error could have led to the shark’s sharp teeth severing a person in two. Moreover, to grab the shark’s dorsal fin meant having to get extremely close, requiring tremendous courage and precision, not to mention the strength needed to smash the shark’s skull while underwater.

In the eyes of these professional bodyguards, Li Yifei’s strength was a kind they couldn’t even fathom, and they now truly understood why Su Mengxin never needed their protection when she was with Li Yifei. All of them put together would still be no match for him.

After Li Yifei finished speaking, Xiao Ling’er, Zheng Yuling, and Su Mengfei all looked at him with stars in their eyes.

Xiao Ling’er, with her playful nature kicking in, nudged Su Mengxin’s arm and said with a giggle, "Mengxin, I really envy you now. You’ve found such a powerful boyfriend, just like a superhero. Hehe, I’ve fallen for him too. Good sister, let’s share him."

At this, Zheng Yuling also looked at Li Yifei with a teasing smile and said, "Yeah, Mengxin, such a good friend is hard to find. Why not let me have a share too? I promise not to steal him away, he’ll still be yours, just to have a turn, right?"

Su Mengfei glared and said, "Stop right there, you two, don’t even think about stealing my brother-in-law. If anyone’s sharing, it should be me and my cousin, you two should stay out of it."

For Li Yifei, it was like a narrow escape from death. The encounter with the shark had been too dangerous, and he had nearly been bitten several times. Hearing the girls joke around, his mood also lightened. He laughed and said, "As long as Mengxin doesn’t mind, neither do I. After all, I’m the one who benefits, right?"

Seeing Li Yifei joking, Su Mengxin’s mood brightened considerably. She spat at Li Yifei playfully and said, "You’re even thinking about my friends, you’re too bold."

Li Yifei said with a mischievous grin, "It’s not me who has designs on them; it’s them who have designs on me."

The three girls immediately burst into giggles, saying in turn, "Right, we’re the ones with designs on you. You’ve agreed to our request; you can’t back out when the time comes."

Su Mengxin rolled her eyes at them and said, "You lot, really, Yifei is injured like that, and you don’t even show a bit of concern. Come on, two people help Yifei over there."

Two bodyguards were about to come over, but Xiao Ling’er quickly said, "No need, no need. Yifei just saved us, we should show our gratitude. Come on, let’s four of us carry him over."

Su Mengfei and Zheng Yuling immediately agreed with giggles, and clumsily started to pull Li Yifei. Su Mengxin got a fright and said urgently, "Don’t mess around, don’t hurt him again."

"It’s fine, it’s fine, Mengxin, you lift the head, Mengfei lift the feet, Yuling and I will support the waist. Are we four not strong enough to lift him?"

Li Yifei weighed less than 150 pounds, so distributed among the four girls, each was responsible for less than forty pounds. Although they were all delicately brought up and not used to physical labor, they could still manage this weight. Plus, seeing it as a game, they were even more enthusiastic and successfully lifted Li Yifei.

Being carried by four beauties, Li Yifei actually quite enjoyed it, especially with Su Mengxin cradling his head. His head was nestled against Su Mengxin’s ample chest, which felt quite pleasurable. If it weren’t for the fact that he was so physically drained at the moment, he might have embarrassed himself.

They carried Li Yifei to the barbecue grill and even arranged a reclining chair for him to lie on before they finally let go.

After calming down, Li Yifei called a bodyguard and asked, "Would you check if there’s a Shark Net here?"

The bodyguard followed Li Yifei’s instructions immediately for two reasons: The deep relationship between Li Yifei and Su Mengxin, and the admiration they felt for Li Yifei’s actions earlier.

More than an hour later, the bodyguard reported back that there was indeed a Shark Net, but it had a large hole in it. Also, sharks had never been spotted in the nearby waters before, so the net had been neglected.

The presence of the shark in these waters was indeed suspicious, but it wasn’t without reason. With global warming, the habits of some creatures were changing. Sudden alterations in Earth’s magnetic field could also disrupt sharks’ sense of direction, causing them to stray into unfamiliar territories. There had been reports of such incidents around the world, so the appearance of this shark should be seen as an accident, not something man-made.

Su Mengxin handed Li Yifei a skewer of grilled meat and said softly, "Do you suspect this was done on purpose?"

Li Yifei smiled faintly and replied, "The shark’s appearance is certainly strange, so I wanted to confirm, but it seems not to be serious. Probably, it is the great impact of human activities on the environment that has caused this accident."

Su Mengxin heaved a sigh and said, "Indeed, human environmental destruction is too severe, especially in many developing countries that ignore environmental protection for economic development. Our country has already suffered too much in this regard and now has to spend great efforts to remediate the environment, which costs much more than the benefits originally gained."

Li Yifei shook his head and replied, "There’s nothing we can do about that. People lived in poor conditions in the past. Back then, if you told them to protect the environment, they could barely fill their stomachs and had no capacity to think about anything else. We can only take it slow now."

Looking at Li Yifei, Su Mengxin said, "Seeing you take an interest in this, why don’t I set up an enterprise focused on environmental protection, or maybe a Public Welfare Organization specializing in it, and you can manage it."

"Forget it. If you need me to lend a hand, I might consider it. Directly managing such a thing, though, would be too bothersome for me."

Su Mengxin chuckled softly, not saying much more.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, here comes the fresh fish bone soup." At this moment, Su Mengfei came over with a plate, on which were five small bowls.

Xiao Ling’er immediately went over, took a bowl, and passed it to Li Yifei, saying, "I’ve had fish bone soup so many times, but it’s my first time having it fresh. Here, this bowl is to comfort you."

Su Mengxin took the bowl, gave Li Yifei a tender smile, and said, "Here, let me feed you." She had already scooped a spoonful up to Li Yifei’s mouth. Her concentration and carefulness made her seem like a gentle, caring little wife.
