Super Soldier in the City

If the problem really lies within the Flying Hawk Squad, Li Yifei is truly furious and chilling with rage, wishing he could rush to the Flying Hawk Squad’s base and drag out that Snow Falcon for questioning.

You can say Li Yifei is lustful, greedy, lawless, or bloodthirsty, say whatever you want, but you cannot say he is unpatriotic, disloyal to the country, or harmful to this nation. That is his conduct, his morality, what he has steadfastly upheld for so many years.

And now a rather insignificant spy case has suddenly implicated the current Team Leader of China’s First Squad. Li Yifei finds it hard to believe, his eyes gleaming sharply, staring at Fu Yingwei. Doubts arise, making Li Yifei first suspect whether this is an elaborate trap, one that has been pre-planned for a long time. Fu Yingwei recognized him early on, and had set up this trap in advance... waiting for Li Yifei to bring people and jump in. Imagine the kind of disturbance caused if the former team leader of the Flying Hawk Squad leads a few retired or non-serving members to arrest and investigate the current team leader of the Flying Hawk Squad. This could be the biggest incident since the formation of the Flying Hawk Squad.

So, is this all premeditated, a pre-calculated trap? This is the first thing Li Yifei has to consider. If it’s not a trap, everything can be resolved; if it is, this trap is too massive... It can’t be something set up years ago, but only recently. Those who can monitor Li Yifei’s movements must be considered... Thinking of this, he feels a jolt, recalling several past incidents where his movements were exposed. He had suspicions back then, but investigations later yielded no results. Besides the women at home, few knew his exact whereabouts, so the issue was left unresolved. After all, probing further would mean suspecting his own wife, which Li Yifei instinctively resists, not willing to doubt any of his wives, who occupy a soft spot in his heart, making it impossible for him to suspect any of them.

However, at this moment... Li Yifei begins doubting again. In the room alone, his face reveals suspicion. Fu Yingwei’s revelations cause Li Yifei’s first reaction to be skepticism about their truth, as he truly does not want to accept this situation’s ’real’ outcome. After pondering several times, Li Yifei still does not believe this is a preconceived trap.

If this were a trap, imagine Li Yifei leading a team and storming the Flying Hawk Squad’s headquarters, arresting the current team leader Snow Falcon for interrogation. Without direct evidence, the consequences... Even for Li Yifei, caution is essential because it will certainly cause a massive repercussion. Even Huaxia’s top leaders would have to inquire personally. Despite his exceptional skills and hidden status, Li Yifei cannot act recklessly.

However, upon encountering this matter, Li Yifei is determined to investigate thoroughly. If this is a trap meticulously designed by Fu Yingwei or others behind him, Li Yifei must delve into it to uncover the truth. And if it’s not a trap but a reality, Li Yifei will proceed without hesitation.

The position of the Flying Hawk Squad’s team leader is too significant, granting access to countless secrets. Several years have passed, and Li Yifei dreads thinking of how many confidential documents might have been leaked if the other party truly defected.

Chilling! Li Yifei’s body trembles slightly, overwhelmed by a rush of fear. He clenches his fists and grits his teeth, emotions he hasn’t experienced in a long time, especially given his current cultivation level.

At such a crucial position, Li Yifei frowns with anxiety. If this matter is true, what is the interest chain behind it? The mastermind enticing a current Flying Hawk Squad leader to defect... Li Yifei suddenly considers a possibility, shivering as a chill sweeps through him. He shakes his head immediately; if it involves such matters... that’s beyond his control, a situation of earth-shaking proportions, something he instinctively resists contemplating.

Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Li Yifei exhales slowly, releasing his clenched fists, muttering to himself: "No matter what, I have to investigate clearly. Because I was once a member of the Flying Hawk Squad, because I’m a soldier, and because I’m a Huaxia person, I have an obligation to protect my country. Yes, that’s it. There’s no reason for hesitation. No matter whom this case implicates, I must thoroughly investigate."

With this self-motivation, Li Yifei suppresses the internal chill. He stands and gazes out the window as the sun rises. Recalling the events Fu Yingwei confessed, this fellow seems not to have lied, at least not as far as Li Yifei senses. He appears to have been scared stiff, confessing readily. The initial incidents were manageable, but the part about working for someone called Snow Falcon, someone with considerable power within the army, shocks Li Yifei.

Upon further questioning, he deduced that it referred to Snow Falcon from the Flying Hawk Squad.

Of course, Li Yifei does not take Fu Yingwei’s words at face value. It’s only after seeing the evidence left by Fu Yingwei that he truly harbors doubts.

In the room, Li Yifei watches seven Flying Hawk Squad members, their varied expressions as they sit or stand, all eyes on him. Others were present during Fu Yingwei’s interrogation, but Li Yifei did the conclusive questioning, leaving the squad members unaware of the obtained information.

"Brothers, I’ve asked you here... to discuss something. The following discussion is strictly confidential, and no one is to disclose anything!" Li Yifei’s expression is gravely serious. Instantly, everyone stands upright, wide-eyed at Li Yifei, reflexively assuming a tense posture, holding their breath as he continues: "Dumb Guy, you can choose to listen or leave since you’re still part of the army."

"Does it concern the army or my career?" Dumb Guy immediately asks.

"The former."

"No matter, at worst, I’ll retire. Boss, speak your mind. We promise not to leak anything," everyone chimed in.

Li Yifei nodded, saying, "This matter is of paramount importance. I trust each of you, but confidentiality is paramount; no one must divulge any information."

"Yes!" everyone immediately agreed as Li Yifei spoke, "The interrogation of Fu Yingwei yielded results, unexpected ones. We uncovered some things..."

Li Yifei shared the potential involvement of the Flying Hawk Squad in the events mentioned. The seven members were extremely shocked, yet none interrupted until he finished. Skinny Monkey quickly asked, "Boss, this can’t be true, right? Although I’m not familiar with Snow Falcon, this is hard to accept. We are the Flying Hawk Squad; our convictions are beyond doubt."

Zheng Mingrui had a different viewpoint. Frowning, he glanced at the others and said, "Boss, I think it’s possible. The Flying Hawk Squad isn’t what it once was. In recent years, the leadership’s decisions are baffling, admitting Second-Generation Heirs who join merely for status. They contribute nothing to the squad’s inheritance or development, tarnishing its reputation and impacting overall strength. I have the deepest feelings about this; back when I retired, my girlfriend was harassed by a squad member. Had the boss not intervened, I might have been victimized."

"This..." the others were unaware of this, naturally believing Zheng Mingrui’s words. Zhang Tianxing, intolerant of such matters, said sternly, "Boss, we’re not doubting you. I want to express my stance: if you pursue this, I’ll follow to the end, fighting alongside you."

Li Yifei raised a hand, saying, "I do need your help, but there’s no compulsion because it’s such a critical matter. Any slight mistake could endanger oneself. I can foresee that if the case unfolds as Fu Yingwei says, it will be an earthquake for the Flying Hawk Squad, a superquake!"

"Boss, this is precisely why we must strengthen our resolve. Although I’ve retired for years, I always consider myself a Flying Hawk Squad member. Therefore... we can’t allow anyone to destroy the squad or betray the country!" spoke Blue Bird, usually taciturn, unwilling even to speak, yet possessing such a nickname. Today, at this moment, he spoke these words, prompting Li Yifei to raise an eyebrow, give Blue Bird a profound look, and nod with satisfaction, saying, "Good, with your words, I feel assured. This endeavor may pose dangers..."

"Boss, we’ll ****, damn them, damn anyone who dares betray the country as traitors or spies, no matter who they are!" Zheng Mingrui stomped and said loudly.

"Right, boss, though retired, we must investigate this to the end. No matter who it is, they must be apprehended to restore Flying Hawk Squad’s honor. If it’s indeed them, such a person doesn’t deserve to be squad leader, part of the squad, or even alive."

"Boss, I have no concerns. At worst, we’ll resign, go home, whatever. Even if it means going to a military court, this needs addressing!"

Li Yifei looked at everyone, slowly nodding. He could investigate the case alone and uncover the whole affair. It might take longer, may involve more trouble, but with his brothers’ support, Li Yifei feels compelled to proceed, to investigate to the end, and to uncover the truth!
