Super Soldier in the City

Chapter 2392 - 2456: Investigative Mission

Li Yifei certainly isn’t really afraid of his wife, and Xu Yingying isn’t truly that harsh either. It’s a kind of fun between them. The other women in the Li family now don’t show too much ’respect’ for Li Yifei either. When they’re alone, they are sweet, but when other women are around, there’s a habit of scolding him a bit. Of course, this ’scolding’ is measured and never goes too far.It’s considered a part of their life amusement, and Li Yifei enjoys it.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred days have passed. Li Yiyin has grown healthily, reaching the milestone of a hundred days old. Xu Yingying decided to take a family photo, not just with their small family of three but with the entire Li family. Currently, there are more than ten members in the Li family, yet they haven’t taken a photo together, even when they went to the seaside, some women had to take care of the kids. So, the suggestion was supported by the whole family.

Of course, getting the whole family together wasn’t easy. Those working or studying outside had to return, Meng Xiaofei also rushed back, and those who were abroad came back as well. On a day with perfect weather, the family gathered, hired a photographer, and finally took a family photo.

Counting the children, there are already seven, with a range of ages. The eldest daughter, Li Yixiang, is not only sensible now but also knows how to take care of her younger siblings. The second daughter, Li Yixiang, is also beginning to show her talents. The other children are still young, revealing not much yet, but it’s certain that regardless of gender, these kids are all handsome and beautiful, inheriting their parents’ best features.

The family dinner in the evening was actually just Li Yifei eating with his wife and kids.

In a few decades, the Li family will branch out and become even more prosperous. Sitting in the head of the family’s position, Li Yifei held Jiang Ningxiang’s son. Among the children of the Li family, many look more like their mothers. However, Jiang Ningxiang’s son resembles Li Yifei when he was young, and by comparing photos, even some actions and expressions are the same.

"Dad, Mom, are you seeing all this from heaven? As of today, your son will absolutely not make you worry. He has grown into a true man, responsible, capable, reliable, and worthy of dependence!" Li Yifei thought to himself, looking at his wife and children sitting beside him.

To stay at home quietly for several months at a stretch like this is really uncommon these years. Li Yifei always feels that something is going to happen, so after celebrating Li Yiyin’s hundred days, he felt a bit uneasy. It’s a very inexplicable feeling, and Li Yifei didn’t even know why. However, when he received Murong Yuanqing’s call, he understood why he was uneasy.

The call from Murong Yuanqing came late at night. Li Yifei glanced at the time, and it was already half-past one in the morning. On the other end, Murong Yuanqing seemed a bit anxious. Li Yifei pulled off his quilt and sat up. Beside him, Ye Yunzhu was also awakened and asked Li Yifei what happened.

"Elder Murong’s call. You keep sleeping; I’ll go take the call!" Li Yifei said, getting up and stepping downstairs in his slippers. Murong Yuanqing on the other end couldn’t wait and said, "Yifei, you need to prepare immediately. I’m sending people from the provincial military district to pick you up!"

"Elder? What’s happened?" Li Yifei knew there must be something big, otherwise the old man wouldn’t be so serious.

Murong Yuanqing replied, "Do you still remember ’Qingcheng Mountain, Misty Cave, Nine Palaces Gen’?"

Upon hearing those nine words, Li Yifei’s heart trembled with surprise. He quickly responded, "I remember!"

"Yes, the specific situation will be explained when you arrive!"

"Alright, Elder, I’ll put on some clothes and can head out right away!"

"Well, there’s no need to rush that much. Also... take Shanshan with you; this matter is quite serious!" Murong Yuanqing said.

Xu Shanshan isn’t weak, but in front of real experts, she is still many steps behind. At least Li Yifei could challenge several Xu Shanshan without necessarily losing ground. Since Murong Yuanqing even called for Xu Shanshan, it shows the seriousness of this matter.

Of course, perhaps there are other reasons. Therefore, Li Yifei did not hesitate and returned to the room to let Ye Yunzhu know, then went to call Xu Shanshan. After giving birth, Xu Shanshan hadn’t been staying with Xu Yingying but returned to her own home.

Li Yifei hurried over to explain the situation, which made Xu Yingying quickly get up, and they both got ready swiftly.

Ye Yunzhu and the subsequent women who arrived realized that Li Yifei was suddenly called away by Murong Yuanqing, indicating a significant incident must have occurred.

"Yifei, Shanshan, you must be careful!" Su Mengxin said solemnly.

"Yes, I’m leaving the house to you. Elder Murong called me over urgently, indicating something has indeed happened. Shanshan and I will be careful!" Li Yifei replied.

Even though the women of the Li family are used to Li Yifei often going on missions, their hearts still worry.

After comforting the family, Li Yifei said to Jiang Ningxiang, "Ningxiang, I don’t know how long Shanshan and I will be gone this time. You are the only expert at home, so you must be more vigilant. Noah’s Ark already tried to assassinate me once, and there’s a possibility of a next attempt. If they fail with me, they might turn their attention to you all. Therefore, after I leave, the home’s security should be raised to the highest level, and security personnel must be on constant alert!"

Jiang Ningxiang took a deep breath, nodded forcefully, and said, "I know, Yifei, Sister Shanshan, you both must also be careful!"

"Okay!" Li Yifei nodded, then said to a shadow in the dark, "Sophia, you take the lead on security matters. While we’re not home, no one is allowed near the Li family premises. Expel anyone in the first-level alert zone, and if someone dares to enter the second-level alert zone, kill them without mercy!"

This was the highest level of alert and defense. The so-called second-level alert zone was within a hundred-meter radius of the Li family villa and mansion. This area was equipped with high-tech surveillance devices and alarm formations, having multiple layers of protection. Once someone intruded, the central security room would immediately be alerted. Currently, the Li family’s security force had expanded to over a hundred people. These people were all well-trained, possessing a strong individual capability themselves. After special training by Li Yifei and Sophia, they could form a strong unit even on the battlefield.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but pay attention. He had been living too peacefully lately, to the point where he himself felt something was amiss. Yet, when it came to identifying what felt wrong, he couldn’t articulate it, until tonight when Murong Yuanqing’s phone call reminded him.

Crisis was lurking everywhere, and Li Yifei was very concerned about changes at home during this period of leaving.

Sophia received Li Yifei’s command, nodded with a cold expression, carrying an aura of murderous intent, and retreated silently into the darkness.

Li Yifei had tried a few times to let Sophia live in the sunlight, but all attempts had failed. Her upbringing had accustomed Sophia to the life of an assassin. Li Yifei, when present, was fine, but in his absence, Sophia would immediately feel uncomfortable. Thus, she only felt at ease when remaining in the shadows, in unnoticed places.

Letting her be, Li Yifei didn’t want to blindly change someone’s lifestyle since it would make everyone uncomfortable. With Sophia guarding the Li family with the security personnel, Li Yifei also felt... somewhat relieved.

Of course, they could only defend against ordinary people or common experts. For experts like him, silently infiltrating the Li family wasn’t difficult. Of course, the prerequisite was that such experts needed to know there was a perimeter of surveillance equipment outside the Li family.

Xu Shanshan borrowed the Mohist War Sword, and Li Yifei carried the Mohist War Blade. After making arrangements, an armed helicopter rushed through the night, landing a hundred meters away. Li Yifei waved to his family and, along with Xu Shanshan, melted into the night, boarded the helicopter, and upon identity confirmation, the helicopter gradually took off.

Half an hour later, Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan transferred to a plane. Two hours later, they arrived in the Capital City, but did not leave the airport, because Murong Yuanqing had brought people to board the plane directly.

Upon seeing Murong Yuanqing board the plane, the two quickly greeted, "Elder Murong!"

"Sit down!" Murong Yuanqing’s complexion was unsightly, not just due to lack of rest; his demeanor was poor. After sitting down, Murong Yuanqing said, "I mentioned Qingcheng Mountain, Mist and Sunset Cave, Nine Palaces Gen to you before!"

"Yes." Li Yifei nodded.

Murong Yuanqing had been sighing more lately. Li Yifei knew he hadn’t been well these days, so he didn’t rush him. Waiting until Murong Yuanqing seemed more at ease, he then asked, "Elder, may I ask what is the purpose of calling us here?"

Murong Yuanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I mentioned those nine characters to you before... Alright, I won’t hide it from you, Murong Zheng has appeared!"

"Murong Zheng?" Li Yifei was slightly surprised upon hearing this name, as the three characters of Murong Zheng represented a wound in Murong Yuanqing’s heart.

Li Yifei glanced around, and Murong Yuanqing raised his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave.

"Elder, if you need anything, just say it." Li Yifei said solemnly.

Murong Yuanqing said, "I want you to help me track him down!"

"Track him down?"

"Yes, yesterday... a friend of mine was found dead in his home by his family. This friend was also a top-tier expert, but he didn’t live with his family; he practiced alone in the garden’s back mountain. Yesterday, his grandson went to deliver food, only to discover the old man was already dead at home, and the hut where he practiced was in shambles, with signs of fighting everywhere!" Murong Yuanqing sighed, his expression somewhat sorrowful, and continued, "I went to inspect. That old friend died tragically, with multiple broken bones and ruptured organs, and his internal meridians were shattered beyond recognition!"

"And with Murong Zheng..." Li Yifei asked.

A flash of both sorrow and cold anger crossed Murong Yuanqing’s eyes as he gritted his teeth, "He was struck by two Dragon-Tiger Slashes!"

"Dragon-Tiger Slash!" Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed. He had seen Murong Yuanqing use this move before, and at that time, when talking about Murong Zheng, Murong Yuanqing specifically reminded him that in case of encountering Murong Yuanqing, he could use this unique move of Dragon-Tiger Slash to determine if it was Murong Zheng.
