Chapter 719: Chapter 758 Chemical ReactionsLi Yifei had no reason to refuse the matter at hand. Most importantly, those who were after Su Mengxin had already come knocking, and Li Yifei couldnât afford to be careless. In a crucial place like Capital City, itâs extremely difficult for any power to pull strings, but in Mile City, the security was far from robust, so various powers found it too easy to infiltrate. Relying solely on the security guards Su Mengxin brought with her was hardly sufficient for her safety.
Fortunately, Su Mengxin didnât come here with the intention to attend any events. As long as she was with Li Yifei, that was naturally the best possible situation. If the two of them were alone at home, Su Mengxin wouldâve been very happy about it. However, Ning Xinâer showed up first, shattering the opportunity for Li Yifei to spend time alone with Su Mengxin, so the three of them simply continued moving the remaining stuff.
Today, Ning Xinâer was surprisingly happy to help them with the work, seemingly unbothered by the fact that she had no part in Li Yifeiâs relocation.
After they finished tidying up, it was almost noon. Li Yifei cooked some simple dishes, and both Su Mengxin and Ning Xinâer seemed to enjoy the meal a lot.
Right after they finished eating, Li Yifeiâs phone started ringingâit was a call from Lin Qiong. Hesitant, Li Yifei didnât pick up the call. Lin Qiong always spoke so imperiously, she might just bluntly ask Li Yifei to come over. With Ning Xinâer and Su Mengxin present, answering this call would seem rather risky.
"Why arenât you picking up? Is it another lover of yours?" Ning Xinâer rolled her eyes at Li Yifei as soon as she saw him ignore the call.
Li Yifei coughed and said, "Itâs from Lin Qiong, the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau. She never wants anything good when she contacts me, better not to answer."
Ning Xinâer snorted, "Feeling guilty? Humph, your wife isnât here, and Mengxin and I arenât anything to you. What are you afraid of?"
Li Yifei actually wanted to treat the two as if they were unrelated to him, but they were anything but unrelated. Even if he didnât have feelings for Ning Xinâer at the moment, with a daughter between them, how could he possibly regard Ning Xinâer as a stranger?
"You should just pick it up, or arenât you afraid of more trouble?" Su Mengxin asked with a smile.
Joining in, Ning Xinâer said, "Yeah, I wonder when you also started flirting with a policewoman, now you even have a thing for uniforms."
The phone kept ringing, leaving Li Yifei no choice but to answer. Su Mengxin and Ning Xinâer watched him with playful smiles. He simply sat down between the two before taking the call. Lin Qiong on the other end didnât explode with anger but spoke in a very official tone, "Li Yifei, I need your help with something right now."
Feeling triumphant, Li Yifei flashed a smile at the two women before saying, "Director Lin, whatâs the matter?"
Lin Qiongâs tone was emotionless as she replied, "Thereâs a situation here, and I need your cooperation."
"But itâs a bit inconvenient for me right now, can we reschedule?"
"No! You need to come over right now," Lin Qiongâs tone had become somewhat stern.
"But Iâm currently accompanying two important people... Okay, okay, how about I bring them along?" Li Yifei tried to decline, but Ning Xinâer was glaring fiercely at him, signaling him to just agree as she wanted to secretly follow along with Su Mengxin. Li Yifei couldnât possibly do that, so he openly made the suggestion, immediately earning Ning Xinâerâs rolling eyes.
Although Su Mengxin knew that the relationship between Lin Qiong and Li Yifei was somewhat ambiguous, she was unaware of any specific developments. She never deliberately inquired about it, unless Li Yifei himself wanted to discuss it.
"That wonât be necessary," Lin Qiong said brusquely.
"Come on!" Ning Xinâer snatched the phone and said, "Director Lin, Iâm a friend of Li Yifei. We arenât busy with anything right now, so we could all accompany you and see whatâs going on, okay?"
Upon hearing a womanâs voice on the phone, and one that wasnât Xu Yingying, Chu Xiaoyao, or Su Yiyi, Lin Qiong felt her temper flare. It was sweet and pleasant to the ear, but wholly unfamiliarâa new woman in Li Yifeiâs life. No wonder he hadnât come to see her recently; this was a blatant provocation, and she refused to tolerate it, promptly saying, "Come over, then," before abruptly hanging up.
Ning Xinâer returned the phone to Li Yifei, remarking, "Sheâs got quite the temper, she seems really jealous."
Su Mengxin chimed in with mock excitement, "Right, seems like someoneâs jealous."
Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "You guys truly are bored."
Ning Xinâer snorted again, "Iâm just bored, arenât I?"
Su Mengxin also smiled and said, "Yeah, finding some fun really is quite interesting."
Li Yifei really had to hand it to these two, Ning Xinâer had recently been acting quite gentle, and Su Mengxinâs relationship with him had also heated up rapidly. It had been nice just the two of them alone, but when these two got together, it was like a chemical reaction had occurred, changing both of them. He then thought what it would be like if Lin Qiong were added to the mix, the chemical reaction with the three of them might be even more intense.
The three of them got in the car and soon arrived at the complex where Lin Qiong lived. After parking, they walked into the neighborhood. Ning Xinâer turned her head, looking at Li Yifei with a meaningful expression, "I thought meeting a Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau would definitely be in the Public Security Bureau. I didnât expect it to be in a private place."
Su Mengxin immediately chimed in, "Exactly, and youâre so familiar with each other. I noticed she didnât mention where to go, yet here we are, coming straight here."
Li Yifeiâs face darkened instantly. How had he overlooked this? This was a rookie mistake he would never have made in the past, it seemed he had really regressed. He then said without changing his expression, "Iâm not a criminal, nor do I work inside the Public Security Bureau. Iâve just helped Lin Qiong out privately a few times. These matters canât be made public, of course we canât discuss them inside the bureau. Besides, you both know that I like to keep a low profile. I donât want others to know that Iâm still helping the police."
Ning Xinâer expressed her disbelief, "Really? Thatâs quite interesting. Iâve played many fun games growing up, but Iâve never played this kind. This time, you have to take me along for a good time."
Su Mengxin nodded repeatedly, "Exactly, exactly, we can indeed participate in such fun matters."
Li Yifei responded with irritation, "You two just want to come along and stir up trouble, fine, letâs go and satisfy your curiosity."
When they arrived at Lin Qiongâs doorstep, Li Yifei had just knocked when the door was yanked open. Lin Qiong appeared in front of them, dressed in her uniform.
Lin Qiong looked very stern at the moment, her eyes filled with a fierce glare as she stared at the trio at the doorway, especially lingering on the faces of Su Mengxin and Ning Xinâer.
Su Mengxin had never met Lin Qiong before. She just smiled at her, secretly admiring Lin Qiongâs uniform paired with her beautiful face, which indeed had a strong attraction to men.
Ning Xinâer, however, frowned as she looked at Lin Qiong. Any woman who had lots of contact with Li Yifei was an enemy in her eyes, and her enemies were already strong enough, not only individually but now they were even forming groups.
At this moment, Li Yifei noticed that Lin Qiong had dark circles under her eyes. She must have not been sleeping well for some days. He frowned slightly and asked, "Encountered some trouble?"
His question appeared to quench some of Lin Qiongâs fury as she replied, "Itâs nothing, come in."
Once inside the room, Li Yifei introduced them, "This is Su Mengxin, Huaxiaâs number one beauty, who Yuanqing has tasked me to follow around full time these past few days. This is Ning Xinâer, Little Yifeiâs mother. Mengxin, Xinâer, this is Lin Qiong, young and promising, already the Deputy Director of the Sub-bureau and with a limitless future."
Lin Qiong had initially thought Li Yifei had brought over some random woman. When she heard their identities, the resentment vanished. Su Mengxin was a legendary figure; meeting her was indeed different from just hearing about her, and Lin Qiong had to admit that Su Mengxinâs beauty was something she could not compare with. She had always considered herself beautiful, but next to Su Mengxin, she felt like an ugly duckling in the presence of a swan.
And the other woman was Li Yifeiâs daughterâs birth mother, a big star. Her relationship with Li Yifei now seemed incomparable to Ning Xinâerâs. Naturally, Lin Qiong lost her confidence and even felt somewhat uneasy, "Having such important people over, you should have given me a heads-up. Look at me, Iâm apologizing for my unkempt appearance. How could you put your friend in this position?"
Su Mengxin smiled softly and said, "Iâve known about your friendship with Yifei for a while, but I never had the chance to meet you. Finally, I get to see you. Director Lin, being so young and already in this position, the future is indeed limitless."
Ning Xinâer, watching Lin Qiongâs unease, felt a surge of pleasure. In Li Yifeiâs house, she always had to suppress her feelings, but now outside, she felt a sense of triumph.
Li Yifei waved his hand dismissively, "Alright, no need for formalities. Lin Qiong, is there something troubling you? You look so haggard; it must be something difficult to deal with."
Li Yifeiâs words indeed helped Lin Qiong ease her embarrassment. She sighed and said, "I did encounter a tricky case. I just donât know what to do about it. I havenât slept well these past few days. I wanted to see you today just to casually talk and alleviate the gloom in my heart."
Ning Xinâer immediately said with pride, "Tell us about it. As long as Yifei is on the case, thereâs no problem that canât be solved."
Li Yifei gave Ning Xinâer a look, which she didnât understand at first, but Su Mengxin instantly got it and laughed, "Yeah, actually when facing difficulties at work, sometimes just chatting with a friend and relaxing can shift oneâs fixed mindset and might suddenly make things clear."
Only then did Ning Xinâer catch on that Lin Qiong still didnât know about Li Yifeiâs powerful identity, and this made her even more smug.
