Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1413 - 1462: Xu Shanshan Is Here

Li Yifei was poisoned. He only felt a wave of dizziness in front of him. Although he quickly pulled out the three darts and used True Qi to protect himself, the toxin had already invaded his body. His vision grew blurrier until he saw Lin Qiong rushing over, and he managed a slight smile before passing out.

Lin Qiong held Li Yifei, shocked. When she saw the wound on his arm and the three darts on the ground, she immediately understood what had happened and rushed to call 120 for a doctor to take Li Yifei to the hospital.

As for the scene, two people were caught, but the woman had three steel needles pierced through her entire throat and trachea. Although the steel needles Li Yifei threw were thin, they caused a very large wound area. However, this wasn’t the fatal injury; the fatal wound was caused by the steel needle he threw with maximum force, directly piercing the woman’s spine, which was an incurable, permanent damage, making the woman unconscious shortly after. Even after rescue at the hospital, she couldn’t wake up.

Of course, this is a later story. At this moment, Song Ranmin was arguing with Yue Yonggui.

Having successfully rescued the hostages, Yue Yonggui had slightly less resentment towards Li Yifei and the others, but he was still fuming. When Song Ranmin walked over, he angrily said a few reprimanding words, which Song Ranmin couldn’t stand. After all, he was the director of Mile City’s Public Security Bureau. Although his rank was not as high as Yue Yonggui’s, it wasn’t as if he should be scolded like a grandson.

Song Ranmin stood in front of Yue Yonggui and said in a deep voice, "Director Yue, you can take the people, but you must ensure their safety. This is related to the case I’m currently investigating."

Yue Yonggui snorted and said, "That’s none of your business!"

"You said it. By the time we need to interrogate them, we’d better see them!" Song Ranmin left with these words, turning around and leaving first.

"Damn it," Yue Yonggui cursed in his heart, but fortunately, Song Ranmin wasn’t here to claim credit, so he tolerated the remark.

Li Yifei woke up again four hours later, lying on a hospital bed. The doctors were helpless against the poison. Firstly, they didn’t know what poison he had, and secondly, even if they wanted to transfuse him, the needle wouldn’t allow the blood to flow in, as if something was obstructing it.

Moreover, although Li Yifei was unconscious, his heartbeat was strong and powerful, and his other organs were functioning normally, so the doctors didn’t forcibly treat him.

Lin Qiong didn’t make things difficult for the doctors but made a special call to Xu Shanshan to ask about the situation. When Xu Shanshan found out that Li Yifei was injured rescuing someone, she couldn’t sit still and rushed over from Mile City. At this moment, she was watching Li Yifei by the bedside, using True Qi to help expel the poison.

The three darts were collected, and Xu Shanshan held them, examining them for a long time. She felt the darts were very strange, but they weren’t the common swastika-shaped or triangular ninja darts. They looked more like harpoons, very peculiar.

For a while, they couldn’t figure it out, but Li Yifei was no longer in danger.

The first thing Li Yifei saw upon waking was Xu Shanshan. Without needing to ask, he knew what was going on. Li Yifei raised his hand and pinched Xu Shanshan’s cheek, saying, "You naughty girl, you still came despite not being allowed."

Xu Shanshan’s eyes turned red, and she held Li Yifei’s hand, keeping it on her face, saying, "I don’t care. As soon as I heard about you, I couldn’t sit still. Since the opponent is so strong, it’s better if I come too. Together, we have a better chance of facing danger."

"See, I feel uneasy when you’re not home!" Li Yifei said as he sat up. Xu Shanshan quickly held him down, saying, "Brother-in-law, just lie down a bit longer. The people have been caught, and going to interrogate now or later is the same."

Li Yifei wanted to get up, and Xu Shanshan threw herself onto him, lying in his arms, anxiously saying, "I want you to rest a bit. Everyone’s worried about Xiaofei’s situation, but it’s been so many days without finding her. A few more hours won’t make a difference. If something had happened to her, it would have happened early on. If nothing happened, then nothing will happen in these few hours either."

"I know..." Li Yifei hugged Xu Shanshan back but only for a moment before pushing her away, saying, "I just want to go to the bathroom. If you don’t let me get out of bed, do you want me to pee here?"

Xu Shanshan blinked, finally understanding what Li Yifei meant, blushed, and said, "It’s not like I haven’t seen it before. Wait, I’ll go get a urinal."

"No, I’m fine. How can I pee on the bed?"

"Alright, I just wanted to see it. It’s been a long time since I last saw it. Can’t I miss it?"

Li Yifei patted Xu Shanshan’s head, smiling, "You’ll see it. Once I solve that trouble, you’ll see it. You can even sleep with it in your mouth then."

"Oh, that’s too perverted!" Xu Shanshan pouted and said no more. Instead, she squatted down to find slippers and helped Li Yifei put them on. Xu Shanshan wrinkled her nose, fanning her face, complaining, "Brother-in-law, how many days since you washed your feet? The smell is too strong!"

"I haven’t had a proper sleep these days. I’ve been on the road all the time. Can’t help the smell," Li Yifei said helplessly, while walking into the bathroom. The sound of running water soon followed, and Xu Shanshan pursed her lips. In the past, she would definitely want to watch the whole process, teasing and fulfilling her little whims, but now she could only endure it.

When Li Yifei came out adjusting his pants, Xu Shanshan walked into the bathroom, giving Li Yifei’s butt a playful smack in passing.

She filled a basin with water and squatted in front of Li Yifei, making him sit on the bed. She pulled off his socks and, holding her breath against the smell, carefully washed his feet. Her soft little hands massaged them, tender and ticklish.

Li Yifei closed his eyes to enjoy it. Just then, Lin Qiong walked in. She froze slightly seeing Xu Shanshan’s actions, then walked over with a grin, saying, "Dear, Shanshan really knows how to take care of you, huh."

Li Yifei grinned widely, letting out a few comfortable hums, and said, "Of course, our Shanshan treats me the best."

Xu Shanshan pouted her little nose and rolled her eyes at Li Yifei, saying, "If I don’t wash them for him, he wouldn’t even know to do it himself. His feet smell like they could pickle cabbage. I was wondering why there was such a strange smell when I came in, thinking about how this room could have such an odor."

"You’re always making fun of me, but it doesn’t smell now, right? It’s all nice and fragrant!" Li Yifei laughed heartily.

Lin Qiong sat beside him, pulling over his arm to check it, then asked, "Dear, did you see that dart?"

"I saw it; I’ve never seen that type of dart before, but seeing the dart means we can better trace our opponent’s direction."

"I’ve already sent out a sample image of the dart, collecting data from the Public Security Bureau’s network. We should have news soon."

"Okay, by the way, what about those two people?"

"One is half-dead, the other lost the use of all limbs. The doctors say they can’t fix it, but they’re at another hospital, watched by those police from the provincial capital. It looks like they’re not planning to return them to us."

Li Yifei patted Lin Qiong’s hand, reassuring her, "It’s okay, let them have the people, as long as we get the information we want."

Lin Qiong sighed, a hint of fatigue between her brows. She hadn’t rested well these days either. Li Yifei still had his cultivation to support him through the day, but Lin Qiong was just an ordinary person; this level of strain was truly too much for her body. As soon as things paused, fatigue swept over her.

Seeing this, Li Yifei felt a pang of heartache, gently wrapped an arm around Lin Qiong’s shoulder, letting her head rest on his shoulder, softly saying, "Everything will be fine, dear, get some sleep, and tonight, after dinner, we’ll interrogate them."

Lin Qiong murmured an acknowledgment, snuggling against Li Yifei’s shoulder, finding a comfortable position. Soon, her gentle snores could be heard. Li Yifei laid her down on the bed, covered her with a blanket. At this point, Xu Shanshan had finished the foot massage, poured the water away, returned to sit with Li Yifei, snuggling in his arms, sniffing around him like a little dog, occasionally nitpicking: his body smelled sour, his armpits had a strong smell, or his stubble was so long he looked like an old man.

It sounded like picking faults, but there wasn’t a hint of disdain. Xu Shanshan held Li Yifei’s waist tightly; this was a rare chance to spend time with Li Yifei, especially lately when it was nearly impossible. All those smells on Li Yifei became part of the alluring masculine scent, enchanting her. So, the sour, sweaty, or strange smells were all laced with enchantment.

Even the stubble scratching her face felt extraordinarily comforting.

Li Yifei understood this too but didn’t dare get too close or let his mind wander, only allowing Xu Shanshan this little relief from her longing.

After holding each other for a while, Xu Shanshan suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, there’s something I need to tell you. I almost forgot."

"Go ahead!" Li Yifei replied.

Xu Shanshan then mentioned the stock market situation to Li Yifei. He furrowed his brows deeply after hearing it and asked, "Still haven’t figured out the source of those funds?"

"Not yet, but it’s been confirmed they’re coming from the USA. My sister and Sister Mengxin are investigating whether it’s the Wall Street people making a move or someone else. If it’s Wall Street, it’ll be tough to deal with. Wall Street is the financial hub of the world, filled with old monsters. Just today, they pushed the Sunx Family’s stock price to the highest point. We’ve made a lot too, but they’ll soon crash the market!"

Li Yifei furrowed his brows and asked, "Could the Sunx Family have connections with people on Wall Street?"

Xu Shanshan slowly shook her head and sighed, "Logically, they shouldn’t. But if they do, then we really don’t stand a chance this time. The money those Wall Street monsters have is not just billions, but trillions."

Li Yifei hugged Xu Shanshan, gently applying pressure, saying, "Forget about Wall Street or Silicon Valley, if need be, I’ll hunt them down and take them all out!"
