Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2162 - 2225: Sorry to Disappoint You

Wu Shuwei was certainly moved too, but she didn’t express it, so when she heard Li Yifei say that, her lips trembled slightly, and she didn’t rebut. After Li Yifei finished defending himself, Wu Shuwei said, "It’s not that I’m not touched, I’m just embarrassed to say it."

Li Yifei was satisfied; he chuckled and said, "It’s okay, we’re close, no need to say anything, I understand."

Understand what... Wu Shuwei felt a strange emotion inside, but she didn’t press further, pursing her lips and saying to Li Yifei, "Alright, go take a shower first, you smell funny."

"Really?" Li Yifei sniffed his clothes and realized it was true. The ride across the grass on his motorcycle had left him dirty. Most of all, Jimms had clung to him on the way back, and he was the one carrying a strange scent.

Li Yifei couldn’t stand it either, he quickly went to take a shower.

Meanwhile, the news of Li Yifei’s safe return reached Lu Youx, who was discussing matters with his subordinates. Hearing Li Yifei returned unharmed and even rescued someone, the pen in Lu Youx’s hand dropped. He hurriedly asked what happened, but the messenger didn’t know the specifics. Lu Youx threw down the pen, kicked the table leg, and the rebound force hurt his toe badly, making him clutch his foot and cry out in pain.

"Impossible, unless he didn’t really go there, there’s no way he could have returned alive. Those people are ruthless. They wouldn’t be polite to a Huaxia person." Lu Youx gritted his teeth, realizing Wu Shuwei’s attitude towards him got worse since yesterday, which made him aware that he was wrong from the start. However, he didn’t want to make amends anymore. Since it was wrong from the beginning, he might as well use a more forceful approach, considering Africa was his territory, he could get people, weapons, and he could do many things.

"Chief Lu, be cautious. I suspect that Li Yifei might not have gone there at all, likely found somewhere to hide for the day, and returned claiming the issue is resolved. When General Lion comes for **** in a few days, Wu Shuwei and he might have already left, leaving us a mess."

Lu Youx slapped the table, saying, "Yes, it’s exactly as you say. No matter how good a fighter he is, he couldn’t escape under their guns. He must be deceiving us. Quickly, call him over and have him present evidence."

After showering, Li Yifei came to the meeting room. Wu Shuwei had told him earlier to come here once done; Li Yifei knew what was about to happen.

Lu Youx watched as Li Yifei slowly walked in, even swaying as he went. This made Lu Youx rage; this guy let him wait a whole fifteen minutes instead of coming promptly when summoned.

"Here, take a seat." Wu Shuwei nodded at Li Yifei, and then addressed the others in the meeting room, "Those are all the key points for the signing the day after tomorrow; did everyone get them?"

"Understood, Manager Wu!" the people quickly replied.

"Alright, you can all go and rest now," Wu Shuwei said.

Her words had just fallen when Lu Youx flung his pen onto the table with a clang, leaned back, and loudly said, "No one leaves. Manager Wu, since Li Yifei is back, let’s have him explain the matter. Everyone here can serve as witnesses."

Wu Shuwei looked around, pursed her lips, and said, "Since Chief Lu insists, sure."

"No, that wasn’t my insistence. I clearly remember what this person said yesterday, and your guarantee, Chief Lu. He’s back today, so I want to ask, how did your bodyguard handle it?"

Wu Shuwei already knew the outcome, so she felt confident and said upon hearing it, "Alright, Yifei, update us on the situation."

Li Yifei sat lazily in the chair, glanced around at the people. Wu Shuwei’s crew seemed relaxed, but the local faction appeared disdainful or suspicious. Li Yifei then said, "It’s done."

"That’s it?" Lu Youx waited a whole minute and didn’t hear Li Yifei continue, prompting him to speak louder.

"Yes, that’s it." Li Yifei said earnestly.

"Hahaha, did I hear correctly?" Lu Youx laughed enough, slapped the table, and looking at laid-back Li Yifei, angrily said, "You’ve caused trouble, endangering the group, bringing us great risk, you said you’d resolve it, and this is how? Just saying it’s done explains everything?"

"Yeah, Li Yifei, what kind of attitude is this? You created a problem, and is this how you resolve it?"

"Manager Wu, why aren’t you speaking up? I remember your promise from yesterday. If you refuse to handle him, I will have to report this matter to headquarters, for judgment."

As soon as Lu Youx spoke, the local faction immediately raised a fuss. Li Yifei didn’t mind; he showed a playful smile on his face, scanning the eyes of everyone who attacked him, including those who attacked Wu Shuwei.

Despite the attacks on Wu Shuwei, she didn’t fluster. She trusted Li Yifei fully; if he said it was dealt with, it definitely was, he wouldn’t lie to her.

Once Wu Shuwei felt everyone had said enough, she spoke, "Do you all have any objections?"

"We’ve already voiced our objections. Manager Wu, don’t pretend not to hear or remain unmoved. Those people are deadly. If they come, no one can resist them. If you don’t present a solution, I will immediately choose to return home; we do not bear any responsibility for the losses here." A local manager stated.

"Oh." Wu Shuwei expressed indifferently, dragging the tone out slowly, seemingly a bit regretful, before saying after a pause, "Li Yifei has already said he dealt with it. Do you all have any other opinions?"

Upon hearing this, those people suddenly wore expressions of disbelief, feeling Wu Shuwei was being unreasonable. The questioning manager quickly responded, "Manager Wu, what are you saying? Li Yifei just uttered three words; how is it resolved? No one even knows if he went there; just claims the issue is fixed? You can be done with contracts and leave, but what about us? We must stay here, and if those people come, we’d instantly be corpses."

"Yeah, Manager Wu, this is too irresponsible. If you act this way, I’ll immediately report to headquarters."

"Indeed, what bullshit, this is excessive."

Lu Youx leaned back in his chair, eyes filled with satisfaction, thinking how will you deal with the uproar now.

Wu Shuwei didn’t show a stern face, but instead a mildly disdainful smile, saying, "What do you need to believe?"

"Provide evidence. He claimed to handle the matter, to succeed, there should at least be evidence, otherwise empty words prove nothing."

"Manager Wu, we need evidence. Without it, everything said is meaningless; I won’t believe it."

Wu Shuwei gestured to Li Yifei, saying, "They don’t believe it, Yifei, do you have any evidence?"

"I knew I should have brought back General Lion’s head; that might have convinced you," Li Yifei said flatly, hands on the table, fingers gently tapping, still looking indifferent.

There was a brief pause; they stared at Li Yifei, asking, "Did you kill him?"

They weren’t doubting, but the notion seemed impossible to them, especially as killing was distant from their experiences, despite having witnessed it.

Even Lu Youx’s heart tightened, for although the odds of such an event were minimal, it didn’t mean impossible. If Li Yifei actually killed General Lion... things would escalate into a relentless vendetta where those people would do anything to flatten this place and kill everyone.

"Sorry to disappoint you. I didn’t kill him," Li Yifei replied.

Sorry to disappoint you, Li Yifei’s remark made them explode again. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Are you screwing with us?" The manager couldn’t hold back, slapped the table, stood up, pointing at Li Yifei, angrily questioned.

"Damn, being strong makes you superior?"

Finally, Li Yifei stopped his moving fingers, looked calmly at everyone, saying, "Do you have intelligence issues? I said I didn’t kill him, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t resolve the matter."

"Bull, who knows if you really went; I heard Zhang Xi only escorted you halfway, then you took a motorcycle to hide for the day."

Li Yifei pulled something from his pocket, tossing it onto the table with a clatter, saying, "Look for yourselves, you bunch of fools."

The item hit the table. Their attention was instantly drawn, even Li Yifei’s insults they automatically ignored. Once they gathered around, they realized what it was. The manager held it in his hand, asked, "What’s this thing?"

"It’s General Lion’s token, also an order. I went to their base, found General Lion, discussed the matter with him, he said it’s fine, they won’t trouble us. I mentioned your disbelief, hence he gave me the token, but you better be careful, if you break it, I won’t help you explain." Li Yifei said.

What he brought out was indeed General Lion’s token, also widely recognized, it was essentially a seal, used limitedly for order signings involving this seal.

These people didn’t know them, blinking their eyes, looking at each other, not daring to immediately question it, but turned towards Lu Youx who stood up from his chair, and the local faction manager.

These two had direct or indirect contact with General Lion, whereas the others merely heard of him.

Li Yifei chuckled, "You all take your time. I’m off for a meal, haven’t eaten all day from the journey." Saying this, he turned to leave, paused, looked at Wu Shuwei, "Manager Wu, would you like to eat?"

Wu Shuwei was arranging documents, placing them in a folder, and lifted her head smiling, "Sure, let’s eat together!" Saying this, she carried the folder, clicking her heels towards Li Yifei.
