Chapter 65 Shameless Father
The story starts in Chapter 65 of "Super Soldier in the City": Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Shameless Father"Whatās wrong?" Although Li Yifei had not heard what was... Donāt miss it!
Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Shameless Father"Whatās wrong?" Although Li Yifei had not heard what was said on the other end of the phone, he knew Su Yiyi must be in trouble; twenty thousand yuan was clearly not enough.
Tears silently fell from Su Yiyiās eyes, and then, as if she had lost all strength, she slumped to the floor. Li Yifei quickly reached out to support her, then helped her sit down on the bed. Su Yiyi was like a walking corpse, unresponsive to Li Yifeiās attempts to help her, her tears just kept flowing.
"What exactly is going on? Talk to me, maybe I can help you," Li Yifei said, patting Su Yiyiās shoulder a bit forcefully.
Su Yiyiās body shook slightly, and she turned to look at Li Yifei, then suddenly threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist tightly, starting to sob loudly.
Li Yifei didnāt stop her; he wrapped his arms around her, one hand holding her waist and the other gently patting her shoulder.
Su Yiyi cried for about five or six minutes, and as her sobs subsided, she sat up embarrassed, wiping her eyes, and said, "Brother Li, Iām sorry, Iāve made your clothes dirty."
Li Yifei smiled slightly and said, "Itās nothing. Can you tell me what happened now?"
Su Yiyi let out a sigh and said, "Ah... itās all because of my dad. He gambled with others, lost all the money we had at home, and now he owes them twenty thousand yuan. Theyāve taken him away, saying if we donāt pay up, they will chop off his hands. I tried to help him find a way, but everyone knows my dad is a gambler, so none of our relatives will lend me money. My college classmates donāt have money either. I know that if I agree to some peopleās demands, they would give me the money, but if I agreed to them, I would never be able to break free from them, so I would rather sell myself here once than do that."
Li Yifei was somewhat surprised by Su Yiyiās thoughts, but he couldnāt help but silently admire her resolve; this girl still had her bottom line.
"But who knew, just after agreeing on the phone, in such a short time, my dad gambled again with them and now owes another twenty thousand. Heās really... really..." Su Yiyi was visibly furious but stopped short of saying harsh words because it was her own father.
Li Yifei frowned slightly and said, "Your father is really something else."
Su Yiyi forced a smile and said, "No matter what, he is still my dad. He raised me; I canāt just ignore him."
"But managing him this way isnāt a solution either. Donāt you realize that those people are clearly setting traps to scam your father out of his money?"
Su Yiyi bitterly smiled and said, "I know that, but Manager Sunx is very powerful, and he is a part of the Underworld. He really isnāt afraid to injure someone."
Li Yifei shook his head. Nowadays, the Underworld could sometimes be even more effective than the police; ordinary people were quite afraid of them. "Then Iāll go with you," he said. "Gambling debts arenāt protected by law, and even if we donāt pay them, they canāt really do anything about it."
"But what about my dad?" Su Yiyiās eyes widened.
Li Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Hereās what weāll do: you tell me where your dad is, and Iāll go talk to some friends, see if thereās anything they can do."
Su Yiyi immediately became excited and said, "Brother Li, do you also know people from the Underworld?"
Li Yifei grinned and said, "I donāt know people from the Underworld, but I do know a few police friends. People from the Underworld always have to be afraid of the police, right?"
"Of course, thank you, Brother Li. Please find someone quickly."
"But you have to tell me where your home is," he said. "You mentioned youāre not from around here."
Su Yiyiās face turned red with embarrassment as she said, "My home is in Stream County, over a hundred kilometers from here."
Li Yifei nodded and said, "Thatās quite far. Alright, you wait here. Tell me the exact address, and Iāll go find a friend overnight to help resolve this."
"Really? Can you do that?"
"Of course. In some cases, itās not good for you to show up, so Iād rather have them stop bothering your father in the future, hence youāll wait here. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, thank you so much, Brother Li." Su Yiyi nodded again and again, her gratitude showing through her words, and she gave Li Yifei the exact address.
Li Yifei stood up and said, "If youāre tired, you can sleep here. I may not be back until late, so make sure to lock the door."
Before Su Yiyi could respond, Li Yifei had already gone out the door. She hurried to the doorway, but the dark warehouse yard no longer showed any sign of his figure.
Li Yifei went to the town and directly rented a car, arriving at Stream County an hour and a half later.
Following Su Yiyiās provided address, Li Yifei quickly located the place, a small two-story building. At the time, lights were still on inside. Li Yifei paid the driver part of the fare and asked him to wait at a distance; then, he approached the small buildingās wall. Effortlessly scaling over it, he entered the yard without making a sound.
Silently arriving beneath the building, Li Yifei leapt and had already grasped the edge of the second floorās balcony. With a flex of his fingers, he hoisted himself up, flipping onto the balcony above.
The entire movement was smooth and unhindered. Climbing to the second floor was as if he were walking on level ground.
Inside the second-floor room, where the lights were on, six people were present. Four people were playing mahjong, one person lay sleeping on the bed, and another stood to the side enjoying the scene. Among the mahjong players, two were in their forties and the other two in their twenties. The one sleeping lay with their back facing Li Yifei, their features unclear. The one standing appeared somewhat older, likely in his fifties. By instinct, Li Yifei felt he must be Su Yiyiās father.
However, even as this man watched the others play mahjong, he didnāt show any signs of being threatened, his expression lively and animated.
"Old Su, stop showing off here. If your daughter doesnāt bring back the money tomorrow, just wait and see," one of the mahjong players, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, cast a sidelong glance at the onlooker after playing a tile.
Now, Li Yifei understood even better; this Old Su was indeed Su Yiyiās father.
At that moment, Su Yiyiās father immediately put on a smiling face and said, "Manager Sun, although I, Old Su, may not be the best of men, I definitely did nothing wrong in having this daughter. She is absolutely filial to me. If I ask her to drum up some money, could she ignore me?"
Another young man said with contempt, "Old Su, having your daughter is your luck, but having you as a father is truly her bad fortune."
Su Yiyiās father laughed awkwardly, but immediately glared and declared, "Iāve raised her for eighteen years, always having to read books, no idea why she couldnāt start earning money to support her old man early on."
The first one to speak, Manager Sun, chuckled and said, "Old Su, you want your daughter to come up with forty thousand in one day, and if she doesnāt have a way, she might just go sell herself or become someoneās mistress. Are you really okay with that?"
Su Yiyiās father shamelessly responded, "Whatās wrong with being a mistress? She has a pretty face, just the material for it. If she really finds a wealthy boss, then Iād be damn well-off."
Manager Sunās eyes shone with lewdness as he said, "Old Su, letās make a deal then, if your daughter canāt bring the money tomorrow, she can keep me company for a month, and Iāll forget your debt."
Su Yiyiās fatherās mouth twitched, replying, "That... that might not be possible."
Manager Sun slammed the mahjong table and barked, "What? You planning to default on your debt?"
Su Yiyiās father flinched, hastily saying, "No, no, itās just... my daughter has too much pride, she wouldnāt possibly agree. She must be figuring out a way to get the money right now, Manager Sun, just wait a little longer."
Manager Sun, observing Su Yiyiās father, said slowly and deliberately, "Hmph, if she doesnāt bring the money tomorrow, Iāll chop off your hand. Iād like to see whether sheād rather see me do it or agree to keep me company."
Su Yiyiās fatherās eyes flickered as he suggested, "Manager Sun, itās not that you canāt have my daughter, but for the amount youāre offering, thatās just too stingy. My daughter, youāve seen her, sheās beautiful and tender. Itās not just about forty thousand; even four hundred thousand would be absolutely worth it."
Manager Sun glared and retorted, "Old Su, arenāt you getting too greedy? You should know, even breaking in a virgin costs just five to eight thousand nowadays. Is your daughterās X made of gold, demanding four hundred thousand?"
Su Yiyiās father quickly said with a grin, "Manager Sun, you canāt say that. The kind of deflowering youāre talking about is of what quality, and is it even real? A few hundred at the hospital and you get a fake hymen. Can that compare to my daughterās genuine article? And how about how beautiful she is, and a university student to boot? Definitely a beauty. If you let some rich guy keep her, paying a few million a year, I think some bosses would be willing, right? Iām only asking for four hundred thousand, and you, Manager Sun, are getting a bargain."
"Quit your damn nonsense; Iāll give you ten thousand more, and your daughter keeps me company for a month. Otherwise, Iāll chop off your hand," he grumbled.
"No, no, Iād rather have you chop off my hand than sell my daughter that cheaply," Su Yiyiās father said, clearly realizing that Manager Sun was interested in his daughter, so he began to bargain.
Watching from outside, Li Yifei felt a surge of anger. There were actually such despicable fathers in this world, so willing to sell off their daughters. They were worse than beasts. Initially, he had intended to help Su Yiyiās father resolve this situation, but now he wished Manager Sun would just chop this father up.
Li Yifei also felt sorrow for Su Yiyi; out of loyalty to her father, she would sell herself, yet her father could do such things. How could he be worthy of Su Yiyiās filial piety?
As the disgraceful conversation inside intensified, Li Yifei could no longer bear it. With a kick to the window, the glass shattered instantaneously, startling everyone inside who immediately stood up, including the one who had been asleep on the bed, all looking towards the window in shock.
Li Yifei, with a stern face, stepped over the shattered glass and entered, while everyone inside gaped at him. The glass was tempered, usually unbreakable even with a hammer, yet he had shattered it with a single kick, proving his formidable strength.
"Who are you?" Manager Sun asked coldly, aware that the man before him had burst into his home in such a manner, clearly seeking trouble.
Li Yifeiās gaze swept coldly over those present, finally resting on Su Yiyiās father, who felt a chill and instinctively hid behind Manager Sun, sensing somehow that Li Yifei meant to kill him.
