Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1403 - 1452: Expand Search

Li Yifei knew even better that during his absence, Su Mengxin’s scheme succeeded, the Sunx and Song families turned against each other, Song Zude chose to stand by, fighting on two fronts and still forcing the two great families to retreat step by step, with continuous losses. Not to mention the sudden withdrawal of the Song Family, the women of the Li family concentrated their efforts and attacked the Sunx Family.

The Sunx Family suffered heavy losses these days. Under multiple attacks, whether it was the Sunx’s physical businesses, factories, or the stock market of listed companies, foreign investment banks, or the political influence they relied on, especially with Sunx Fugui hospitalized, this was a fatal blow to the stocks of several Sunx companies.

A big tree, appearing lush from the outside, may stand for years without falling, but the roots buried underground may have long since rotted, and perhaps the trunk has long been plagued by numerous pests, devouring it until it is riddled with holes.

The Li family is a new family with not many industries, but abundant funds. Under the concentrated attack, the Sunx Family immediately showed signs of fatigue, and the morale of many company industries began to fall apart. Sunx Fugui’s collapse was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The Sunx Family’s businesses were shrinking daily, with even some company executives selling stocks or absconding with funds.

When the upper echelons are shaken, it goes without saying that the lower levels are even more so. Everyone is on edge, and those with foresight have already resigned early. The entire Sunx Family, worth hundreds of billions of dollars, turned into this within about half a month, which was beyond countless people’s expectations, leaving those families watching in astonishment.

Just as Su Mengxin had thought, the Sunx Family immediately began to crumble. This was also why before going to Wangwu Mountain, Li Yifei called, and all the women encouraged him to find a way for Worm Removal instead of coming home. The women were confident they could crush the Sunx Family.

With the Sunx Family about to fall, Su Mengxin and others were very happy, which is why there was so much information and so many calls to Li Yifei before. But they forgot one person, and that was Meng Xiaofei. She was still flying abroad, and everyone overlooked this matter, and then something happened to Meng Xiaofei.

Su Mengxin and Xu Yingying blamed themselves on the phone, and Li Yifei said, "Now is not the time to blame ourselves. I just called Lin Qiong, and it can now be basically confirmed that Xiaofei was kidnapped, at least she didn’t disappear normally. Mengxin, don’t panic, I’ll be home in an hour. First arrange the home’s security, let Shanshan and Ningxiang be alert, and don’t leave the house unless necessary. The Sunx Family is already like a mad dog, they might make a last attempt, and I can’t let any of you get into trouble."

Xu Yingying took the phone and said, "Yifei, don’t worry. We’ve already mobilized everyone we can to search, and we’re collecting intelligence at home. We’ll inform you as soon as we have news."

Meng Xiaofei held a special position at home. She was the first woman to know Li Yifei, yet she never got together with him, although it’s pretty much the same as being together. Everyone treated her both as a sister and like other women, and because of her special relationship with Li Yifei, everyone adored her, considering her part of the Li family. With her in trouble, everyone at home was very worried.

The women of the Li family are not ordinary people; when something happens, they don’t simply cry but think of ways to solve the problem. Even when they couldn’t contact Li Yifei, they had already started taking action, which saved Li Yifei some trouble and also saved search time.

There was one thing Li Yifei hadn’t said, and the women hadn’t mentioned either, that they weren’t afraid of Meng Xiaofei being kidnapped, but feared she might be harmed. If she was kidnapped by the Sunx Family, they would surely have a goal or a demand. If it was by others for money, the Li family could spend a few billion to rescue Meng Xiaofei. They just feared other dangers, as Meng Xiaofei was merely an ordinary weak woman.

This point was unspoken, but everyone was worried in their hearts, so they rushed to find Meng Xiaofei.

An hour later, Li Yifei landed in the Li family courtyard. After getting off the plane, he ran to Xu Yingying’s villa, where all the women were gathered, even the two who had just given birth were there. Seeing Li Yifei back, everyone felt a bit more at ease.

Li Yifei didn’t say much to them. He asked for a summary of the materials and quickly browsed through them. Then, he asked everyone to come in. Su Yiyi handed over a glass of water, her eyes a bit red. In terms of relationships, she was closest to Meng Xiaofei; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been her Meng Xiaofei messaged to prepare Sichuan cuisine, thus, when it was almost confirmed that Meng Xiaofei was missing, Su Yiyi cried alone for half the day, blaming herself for not sending a car to pick up Meng Xiaofei, knowing she was coming back. Why let her drive back alone?

Li Yifei patted her shoulder, comforted her a bit, and then sat at the workbench, where the women had been working recently. Li Yifei spread out a map and marked several locations with a pen, saying to Su Mengxin and the others, "I thought about it on the way back, cars don’t just disappear for no reason. Lin Qiong’s latest news just confirmed that on both ends of the highway, especially the section from the provincial capital to Mile City, there were no damages to the roadside barriers, which proves that once the car got on the highway, it shouldn’t be invisible."

The women nodded, and Su Mengxin said, "Is it possible that there was a crane on the roadside, directly lifting the car away?"

Xu Shanshan also said, "A crane... It’s quite possible. There’s a section where next to it is a country road, and if a crane was parked there, lifting the car out is very possible. Let me think about that section of the road... It’s about halfway."

Several women somewhat agreed with this speculation, but Li Yifei shook his head, drew a few lines on the map, and said, "I think another possibility is greater. If that’s the case, then it must have been a premeditated, targeted kidnapping plan against our Li family, and the opponent meticulously planned it."

When Li Yifei spoke, Su Mengxin frowned and exchanged a glance with Li Yifei, suddenly realizing another possibility.

Li Yifei lightly hit the table with his fist and said in a deep voice, "I suspect, the other party arranged for a large box truck in advance, waiting on the highway, intercepted Xiaofei’s car halfway, and then drove both the person and the car into the box truck. In this way, they could take the person away without leaving a trace, which is why Xiaofei’s car is also missing."

Upon this analysis, the women’s expressions changed. Su Mengxin nodded heavily, her face tense, and said, "If that’s the case, then it was really a long-planned kidnapping, even before we were prepared. The Sunx Family is most suspicious; they are already about to lose, and kidnapping Xiaofei now can divert our attention and ease the pressure, while also making threats."

He Fangqing made a sound and said, "For us in the Li family, every family member is extremely important, and we can give up anything for our family. I also think the Sunx Family is the most suspicious."

Meng Xiaofei has been missing up till now, considering last night’s deduction time, she has long been in the hands of the kidnappers, but there hasn’t been any phone call, no information, which is also a point of suspicion. Li Yifei frowned, his mind working fast.

Half a minute later, Li Yifei issued an order: "First give this information quickly to Lin Qiong and have her focus on checking large box trucks during the relevant time period from last night, any large vehicle that could contain Meng Xiaofei’s car. Additionally, expand the search circle from the airport highway to the provincial capital city to see if there are any suspicious vehicles following Xiaofei’s car."

Several women immediately took out their phones and made calls separately. The Ye family, represented by Ye Yunzhu, did not intervene in the battle between the Li family and the Sunx and Song families, but this time, they made a significant effort. Many things today were coordinated and liaised with the help of the Ye family.

Manpower was a very serious issue. The Li family needed security guards, especially at this time, and couldn’t leave them without protection, because they didn’t know what actions their hidden opponent might take. So Li Yifei thought for a moment and then called Song Zhentao. Nowadays, Song Zhentao’s forehead is already labeled with the Li family, known to many people in the province, so Li Yifei needed to use him again this time.

Song Zhentao was aware of the Li family member’s disappearance and had started arrangements in the morning, but given his position, without prior notice from the Li family, what he had done was already considerable. To do more required this call from Li Yifei.

Once the call connected, Li Yifei straightforwardly said, "Brother Song, I’m calling for your help."

Calling him "Brother Song" directly shortened the distance and revealed Li Yifei’s attitude and the relationship. Song Zhentao didn’t put on airs and took a glance at his secretary, who automatically exited and closed the door. Then Song Zhentao said, "Yifei, I already know about the family’s situation. Rest assured, I already called Song Ranmin this morning to gather manpower, led by Lin Qiong, to conduct a full investigation and strive to rescue your family as soon as possible."

"I want to thank Brother Song and Director Ranmin here. We in the Li family will remember your help!" Li Yifei expressed his gratitude upon seeing Song Zhentao’s assurance, "However, manpower is still insufficient. We are facing some obstacles in the provincial capital, coupled with the expanding investigation range, so we need to assemble some personnel, of course, while ensuring the normal operation of the city."

Song Zhentao thought to himself, this was the phrase I was waiting for. With this phrase, what I’ve done holds meaning. Once Li Yifei finished speaking, he immediately said, "Song Ranmin just reported to me, two battalions have been gathered, ready to receive orders at any time. I’ll have him personally lead a team to support Lin Qiong now."

"Thank you!"

"We don’t need to say this between us. Moreover, given the heinous nature of this case, I assure you we will fully investigate it and give Mile City and the Li family an explanation."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yifei looked at the women and said to Song Lianyao and Xiao Ling’er, "You two should go back and look after the kids. There’s no use waiting here!"

The two women shook their heads, Xiao Ling’er said, "We want to wait here for Xiaofei’s return."

Li Yifei walked over and hugged the two of them, "Good, go back. Your son and daughter need you. I know you’re all worried about Xiaofei, but if she isn’t found for a day or two, you can’t stay here forever. Go back, any news will certainly be told to you two! And Ningxiang, you’re heavily pregnant. While I’m not home, you and Shanshan were responsible for the house’s safety. Now I’m back, you should quickly rest."
