Chapter 2552 - 2616: The Person Behind the Scenes
"Because currently is the period when things are erupting, not only are the locals enraged, but there is also much news online, the masses are furious... um, such matters are indeed somewhat excessive, so anger is normal, but such affairs have a time limit, once the hot topic has passed, fewer people will pay attention, common people forget easily, they will soon forget..."
"Are you suggesting I wait?" Li Xiang looked ominously at the other person.
"Uh... young master, I know this seems a bit... but it’s also the simplest solution, once the time limit is over, and not many are paying attention, we can do whatever we want, I believe that director won’t trouble us, after all, if he stands in his shoes to see the problem, he has no choice but to act this way, such malicious cases, if not handled, what would the public think, and his superiors wouldn’t be able to accept it."
Li Xiang was silent, his eyebrows furrowed, for a whole minute, then he opened his eyes, and said, "I understand what you’re saying, but we bear the name Li, representing the Li family, we are a family of stature, and rare in this world, so I can’t wait, nor afford to wait; Li Da did something wrong, only our Li family can punish him, he will face the family law’s punishment, but definitely not by some director or the like, do you understand this reasoning?"
"Un... understood." The subordinate hesitantly nodded, Li Xiang continued, "So, go and get him out, even if he did something wrong, it is the family law that punishes him!"
"Young master, really... this isn’t right!"
"My good temper is limited, I’ve already spoken enough about Li Da’s matter, and I still have unresolved issues myself, can’t any of you handle even this small matter?" Li Xiang said impatiently.
His voice was filled with irritation, if the subordinate continued speaking, he might break out into violence in the next moment, so they dared not say another word, yet they didn’t know what to do.
"I said, get him out, as for that director, if he dares to obstruct, then take him down for me, I’m sure you all have ways." Li Xiang said through gritted teeth.
The subordinates felt a chill upon hearing this, nodded one after another, saying, "Young master, we... will try again, do our best."
"If you’re telling me ’do our best,’ haha, come here, let me tell you how to do your best." Li Xiang gestured to the respondent, that person dared not approach, hesitated briefly, then Li Xiang lunged forward, stepped over and kicked the person flying, crashing into the wall with a heavy sound, the others shivered, since Li Xiang had honed his skills, he was rarely in a good mood, usually extremely irritable, seeing him act, the few subordinates dared not persuade any further, silently retreated.
The last person to leave, Li Xiang said in a gruff voice, "Find me two... never mind, just get out!"
The room quieted down, Li Xiang had rented the entire floor, as the door closed, pain appeared on his face, this pain wasn’t physical, but psychological, Su Lio went with Li Yifei; she actually went with Li Yifei, thinking about this made Li Xiang feel like going crazy.
Just as Su Lio had analyzed, he might not like Su Lio much, but the identity she represented made Li Xiang eager, Su Family is currently the sole heir, with Elder Su’s line, Li Xiang had an advantage in vying for the Li family heir, no, it should be said he was the most confident among all Li family’s descendants, to unite with Huaxia’s other top expert’s granddaughter, it wasn’t an honor for just anyone.
But now everything was ruined, Su Lio was tricked by Li Yifei, thinking about this made Li Xiang’s heart ache sharply, he was convinced Su Lio was deceived, because in his memory Su Lio was a very innocent woman, today’s Su Lio made him feel somewhat unfamiliar.
Li Xiang lay on the mat, his eyes toward the ceiling lamp, one hand covering his heart, expression of pain intermittently appeared on his face, don’t know how long had passed, he sat up from the floor, eyes flashed with intense murderous intent, grimaced, "Li Yifei, I have to kill you, you dare snatch my woman, cut off my path, then I shall make you wish you were dead!"
To Li Xiang, Li Yifei was a master, but he wasn’t weak either, the outcome between the two was uncertain, moreover, he had the backing of the Li family, Li Yifei was alone, daring to kill Li Yifei, did the other dare kill him?
With concerns, it would affect the fight, thus his probability of winning increased.
Thinking this way, Li Xiang regained some confidence.
The next morning, Su Lio woke up, her eyes blinked, the solid arm behind her still embraced she, the other hand also passed beneath her neck, this gave Su Lio a great sense of security, feeling protected at every moment, many Li family women liked such a posture, she slowly turned around, met Li Yifei’s smiling face, lightly pecked him, Su Lio softly said, "Yifei, shall we get up?"
"Get up, we still have to get up, but before getting up, we can do something else first."
"Huh? No more, last night... was enough, even though we’re innate experts, too frequent is not good!" Su Lio quickly pleaded.
"Hahaha, begging for mercy already? I distinctly remember someone was very stubborn last night, refusing to beg for mercy no matter what." Li Yifei laughed.
"No, no, you remembered wrong, I was begging for mercy the whole time, you wouldn’t let me go!" Su Lio’s voice grew quieter as she spoke, until she finally lay on Li Yifei’s chest, opened her mouth and bit him, with a piece of flesh in her mouth, her little tongue sneakily slid past, causing Li Yifei to shiver, and he held Su Lio, saying, "You said you don’t want it, but still want to play with fire?"
Su Lio’s eyes flashed cunningly, she turned and dashed onto the floor, ran naked into the bathroom, soon the sound of splashing water was heard, Li Yifei shook his head, turned to grab his phone, after browsing a few messages, he frowned at a message sent ten minutes ago, it was sent by Jiang Hu, Director of Dan City’s Public Security Bureau, the message read: "Mr. Li, sorry to bother you so early, the case is progressing quickly, the other side has confessed mostly, the smuggling case behind it is a big one, but... I’m encountering resistance, the provincial leader just called directly to enquire, saying to be mindful of the influence, and Li Da’s family also came twice, requested to see me, I refused, but they seem quite influential, I’m worried about holding out, I will definitely persist for my reputation and justice, but afraid the city leaders might issue instructions, so if convenient, Mr. Li, you might want to look into it too, otherwise the case might change."
Upon seeing this message, Li Yifei wasn’t surprised, Li Da’s family is not small, even bigger than his own family, having been in business for many years with extensive connections, if it wasn’t for Li Yifei, Jiang Hu probably wouldn’t have the confidence to resist.
The politics in Huaxia are like this, layers of suppression, impossible when one rank higher, especially when it’s the provincial voice, Li Yifei thought for a moment, replied: "Director Jiang, you take charge of the case, the provincial, and even the opposition’s pressure, just use my name directly, if the opposition insists on interfering, I’ll handle it."
Jiang Hu quickly replied: "Thank you, Mr. Li, it’s somewhat shameful to say!"
"It’s nothing, it’s quite normal, Director Jiang persisting in justice is already commendable!" Li Yifei said.
At noon, Li Xiang sent a message saying the people sent out to handle things all hit a wall, Jiang Hu avoided them completely, they couldn’t barge in, having no choice, they contacted various people, finally found Jiang Hu, explained their purpose and identity, Jiang Hu’s heart raced, realizing these were indeed powerful, connected to Li Da, but seemed even bigger than Li Da’s family, mentioned names were top figures Jiang Hu had heard of.
Thinking of Li Yifei’s words, Jiang Hu mentioned him to the opposition, upon hearing Li Yifei’s name, they were stunned, then asked immediately: "What’s Li Yifei’s relation to this matter?"
Jiang Hu shook his head, saying: "Mr. Li instructed, if unclear, go find him, so you don’t need to trouble me, nor pressurize me through the leaders, there aren’t many people in Ning Province who can suppress Mr. Li, suppressing me won’t help, moreover, Li Da and those guys indeed broke laws, facing multiple charges, with conclusive evidence, no room for argument."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood why the resistance was so strong this time, turned out the Li family head from Ning Province, Li Yifei, was behind it, no wonder their contacts were ineffective, those effective ones either held higher status, not easily mobilized, or were too far to reach here.
They returned to the hotel, explained everything to Li Xiang, whose recently calmed heartbeat instantly became unbalanced, frigidly and murderously said: "Well, Li Yifei, does he really think he’s invincible? Hahaha, he stole my woman, I haven’t troubled him yet, but he’s troubling me, fine, I’ll meet him!"
"Master, Li Yifei isn’t simple, his skills are high, how about we first investigate why he’s involved, seems he arrived in Dan City prior to Miss Su Lio’s matter..."
"Are you teaching me how to act?" Li Xiang raised his eyelids, eyes emotionless, voice cold and frightening, that subordinate hurriedly knelt, shaking head, "Master, I absolutely didn’t mean that, I was just wondering why Li Yifei’s doing this, who gave him the courage."
Li Xiang coldly laughed, saying: "Knowing who’s pulling strings behind is enough, since Li Yifei acts like this, I won’t be polite, Ning Province’s richest, young expert? Ha!"
"Master, I’ll investigate where he is!" Li Zhang wanted to redeem himself, immediately said.
Li Xiang raised a hand, saying: "Think before acting, he’s with Su Lio, I just need a phone call to know, why investigate?"
"Uh..." Li Zhang’s mouth twitched, thinking why couldn’t I come up with this, but if I said it, and you suddenly change mind, wouldn’t I be beaten? Expression changed, squeezed a smile, Li Zhang fawningly said: "Master’s foresight, then... now inquire?"
Li Xiang’s face twisted, thinking about last night, Li Yifei and Su Lio possibly stayed together, might’ve happened what should happen, thinking that girl he grew up with being pressed down by that disgusting man, imagining her distinct little mouth swallowing... Li Xiang felt a rage, his hand squeezed the sofa, made cracking sounds, a corner of the premium sofa arm instantly collapsed.
