Super Soldier in the City

You want money to buy your lives, then I’ll help you fulfill this wish, Li Yifei thought to himself. Li Manli’s young life was already extinguished; she had hardly enjoyed any happiness since her birth. Because of Li Yifei’s intervention, Wu Gang seemed genuinely scared, and with Wang Feng watching, he dared not entertain the notion of selling his daughter again, nor dared he treat the poor mother and daughter poorly, but it was all for naught, for Li Manli could not escape fate.

Perhaps people truly have destiny, Li Yifei thought, these few steps felt like hours, he pondered about destiny, it was as if everyone, before they were born, had a string above their heads, held by someone unknown, a whole life led along by this string, everything seemingly predetermined, like a set program, perhaps that’s why some have faith in deities, for such thoughts can plunge a person into despair.

This is also why many philosophers ultimately choose suicide as a means to end their lives, but Li Yifei wouldn’t sink that deeply. He merely thought of destiny, that word was filled with a trace of despair; was it destined for Li Manli’s fate to be so tragic?

Her life had finally seen a glimmer of hope, only to come to a sudden halt here, what was her fault?

She had already been living a hard life! Li Yifei gritted his teeth, anger surging once more. This was not destiny; this was man-made, created by those who had killed Li Manli, by those people’s actions! Li Yifei thought with resolute conviction, if it were merely an accident, then life cannot be regenerated, and even if he felt regret, there would be nothing he could do. But this was no accident; it was those people inside who forced Li Manli to her death, raped her, and then drove her to jump. Therefore, this was no accident, but rather man-made. The police came, yet they treated human lives like grass, ordinary lives just numbers, bought for a million, 1.5 million.

They were committing murder, utterly fearless, indifferently to human life. Li Yifei had seen many such people and met them again this time, so he too grew indifferent, even cold-hearted. He strode several steps to the bedroom door. The door, without any wind, swung open with a bang. Li Yifei saw the scene inside, two naked women staring at him in fear and another man on the bed, somewhat young, perhaps not even twenty, with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes, an appearance of indulgence. One woman was tied to the bed, the other to a frame, positioned in a large shape, while the man held a whip, just having struck her fiercely before Li Yifei entered.

Their similar-aged bodies were covered with scars, some already swelling with redness, others bleeding slightly, a pitiful sight. The woman tied on the floor was faintly breathing, unknown how long she had been tortured.

Li Yifei knew what was before him, pondering whether it was voluntary or coerced. The latter seemed more likely, and he felt a wave of disgust.

Li Da tossed the whip in his hand aside and sat down with exhaustion, grabbing a device from the table, taking a deep drag, his eyes closed as he exhaled slowly, as if Li Yifei weren’t even there. It only took a puff for him to quickly regain his vigor, lightly shaking his head in extreme comfort.

An addict too, a harsh glint flashed in Li Yifei’s eyes.

"Save... save me, I don’t want to take it, I’m so cold." The woman tied on the frame weakly spoke, seemingly seeing Li Yifei as a savior, and as he walked over, he realized the woman had a tube inserted below her, not for urination. The transparent tube was leaking bright red blood, dripping away. The woman was not just bound by her limbs but also had several ropes tying her tightly to the frame. Closer inspection revealed many nails on the frame, those two to three-centimeter nails driven directly into her body.

Even though Li Yifei had seen much, seeing this scene still made his scalp tingle; this went beyond ordinary S&M. It was murder. Li Yifei didn’t know where the tube was inserted, but continuous bleeding suggested it penetrated an internal organ, a brutal pain. Yet, the woman didn’t scream.

Of course, she had been injected with some drug, Li Yifei saw the things on the side table. Having eradicated drug traffickers in the Southern and Northern regions, he naturally recognized those things, guessing the general reason at a glance.

Her consciousness hadn’t been completely lost; she still had her spirit. So Li Yifei walked over, surveying the woman, her body covered in scars, particularly severe from the beatings because she had consumed or injected those substances, temporarily losing her sense of pain as her nerves numbed, leaving her unable to feel pain now. Looking at her face, she seemed young, possibly even in her teens. Li Yifei ground his molars, walked over, turning his hand into a blade and cutting the ropes binding the woman.

"Stop!" The man enjoying with closed eyes opened them, glaring angrily at Li Yifei, his hand trembling as he pointed at him, shouting, "Get the hell out, get out while I’m enjoying myself, can’t you see?"

Li Yifei gave him a cold glance, his hands not stopping, continuing to untie the ropes.

Seeing the other party ignoring him, still freeing his prey, Li Da supported himself to stand up, angrily pointing at Li Yifei and cursing, "I told you to get out, didn’t you hear? Damn it, what kind of lackey doesn’t know the rules, Li Sansheng, get in here, damn it, I’m in the middle of something great, and you dare disturb me, you’re lucky I don’t beat you to death!"

"Ah, save me, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to!" The girl showed enormous fear in her eyes, attempting to dodge as she saw Li Da picking up a special wooden implement.

Li Yifei eventually untied the ropes from the girl; those ropes had been there long enough to leave deep purple bruise marks on her skin. Upon seeing Li Yifei release the girl, Li Da was furious, grabbing a nearby item and hurling it at Li Yifei. However, his body was somewhat weak, and the thrown item was feeble and powerless. Li Yifei dodged with a sidestep, and Li Da cursed aloud, lunging toward Li Yifei.

That wretch, after just a few drags, was at his peak agitation, looking aggressive. Li Yifei lifted a leg, kicking Li Da away, sending him crashing against the wall with a cracking sound. Witnessing such a scene, Li Yifei was now sure Li Da was the one responsible for Li Manli’s death. He not only did drugs but was also so perverted. Li Manli, falling into his hands, had endured unimaginable torment.

Thinking this, Li Yifei had an urge to end that scum immediately, but he held back, as the nude girl in front suddenly shook violently, her breathing turning extremely rapid, on the brink of fainting any second. This was due to an overdose erupting within, even risking sudden cardiac arrest. So, Li Yifei couldn’t bother with anything else, reaching to hold the girl’s wrist, channeling True Qi into her, finding her body in terrible condition. If delayed, she might burst and die, at least it was exceedingly dangerous.

Under the aid of True Qi, the girl gradually calmed, her body regaining tranquility, though she let out moans of pain. As the drug’s effect was suppressed by Li Yifei, the abuse-induced pain lashed across her body.

Li Yifei tapped a few spots under the girl’s neck, saying, "Endure it."

At this moment, it could put the girl in a coma, but... drugs were ultimately a mental thing, and it was Li Yifei’s first time dispelling them, requiring some exploration.

Over there, Li Da, having been heavily dropped, felt little pain under the heightened excitement, unsteadily standing, speaking incoherently, "Hahaha, you dare hit me, dare kick me, anyone, come, beat him, kill him, I’m going to whip him to death!"

Outside the door, Jiang Hu and others heard the shouting inside, Li Da’s other henchmen exchanged glances, not daring to rush in due to the brutal assailant inside. Li Sansheng and others were still plastered against the wall without any response, occasionally twitching, their state unknown. If they went in, wouldn’t it be asking for trouble?

Jiang Hu thought for a moment, deciding to walk in. He considered himself to be on Li Yifei’s side. But, if the enraged richest person in Ning Province inside really killed all those people, it would be a huge case, a case rarely seen nationwide. As director, watching such a thing unfold before him would be a dereliction of duty.

Overcome with fear, he entered, seeing the horrific scene in the room, others also lying around as if the hotel’s walls were made of mud, embedding them easily.

Of course, the walls weren’t made of mud, which could only mean Li Yifei’s strength was terrifyingly great.

Jiang Hu approached the bedroom door, glancing inside, seeing Li Yifei holding the hand of a completely nude girl, seemingly doing something. Jiang Hu’s eyesight was good, quickly noting the girl on the frame and the girl on the bed both scarred, with an aromatic scent permeating the air. Upon smelling it, Jiang Hu knew what had occurred.

Drug usage... Jiang Hu looked at the deplorable state of the room, simmering with rage. Such instances weren’t uncommon, yet persisted, whether among celebrities or ordinary people. This was a severe societal danger, irresponsibly affecting personal health. Under the influence, individuals became unrecognizable, a grave threat.

Thinking this, Jiang Hu, without hesitation, stepped in, facing the impending Li Da rushing at Li Yifei.
