Super Soldier in the City
Chapter 2297 - 2361: Great Clans Must Be Courteous
"The family patriarch is indeed home, but... he rarely sees guests. If Mr. Li has any business, you can tell me directly!" Shen Kaifeng said.
Li Yifei glanced at him and said, "Will it work if I talk to you?"
"Of course, among my generation, though I am not particularly accomplished, I do help with family matters. If Mr. Li has any requests, please speak directly."
"Alright, then I’ll talk to you!"
"Please speak." Shen Kaifeng responded. Since he came to handle matters, he undoubtedly knew the identity of Li Yifei, recognized him as the clan chief of the largest family in Northern Ning Province, and was aware of their family’s current affairs in South Dian Province. However... he wondered why he came. Shen Kaifeng pondered in his heart.
Li Yifei put away his smile, stared at Shen Kaifeng, and said, "I’m here looking for someone!"
The patriarch doesn’t want to see you, Shen Kaifeng thought privately, looking at Li Yifei, and said, "I wonder who Mr. Li is looking for?"
"A bald person!" Li Yifei stated.
Shen Kaifeng clearly felt the shift in Li Yifei’s tone when he mentioned the word "bald." Despite the warm weather today, a sudden gust of wind swept through, causing a chill in Shen Kaifeng’s heart. He quickly replied, "I’m somewhat unclear about what Mr. Li means by looking for a bald person? What does that mean?"
"Just what it says." Li Yifei answered, "Your family has a bald-headed person, similar in age to you, named Shen Kailong, right?"
Whew, Shen Kaifeng frowned, contemplating that such a person indeed exists, but what does Li Yifei mean by this? Why is he looking for Shen Kailong?
"Last night’s banquet, my wife drank too much, and he took her home!" Li Yifei stopped deliberately at this point and then added, "So I came today to thank him."
Thump, Shen Kaifeng’s heart thumped heavily several times, understanding the reason, but still feeling awkward. Shen Kailong is someone of his generation; he is the elder brother of the other, naturally aware of his brother’s disposition. Though he didn’t attend yesterday’s banquet, for Shen Kailong to voluntarily and graciously escort a woman home... that sounded unusual. Thus, after a few seconds, Shen Kaifeng smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I wasn’t there last night, so I’m unaware of the details. However, if it’s merely escorting your wife home, such a matter doesn’t require any gratitude."
"I think it’s necessary to say thank you." Li Yifei said earnestly.
"It’s really not needed; Kailong is just warm-hearted." Shen Kaifeng replied.
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "I’ve come, so how can you prevent me from seeing him? Shall we take your car in, or should I drive myself?" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"Well... since Mr. Li is here, of course, you should come and have a cup of tea at home. However, the patriarch is unwell and indeed unable to entertain guests. If Mr. Li doesn’t mind, may I be the host?"
"The Shen family is a prominent family!" While speaking, Li Yifei glanced around, returning his gaze to Shen Kaifeng as he opened the car door, saying, "One must be courteous!"
After saying this, Li Yifei got in the car. Shen Kaifeng’s mouth moved slightly; he wasn’t usually someone poor with words. Among the younger generation, Shen Kaifeng and another Shen family member are known as the Shen family double tigers, outstanding among grandchildren. Whether handling matters or engaging in battles, they excel. However, meeting Li Yifei today, he seemed unable to articulate anything.
The car drove inside, and Li Yifei observed the terrain of the Shen family estate. Unlike the Li family, the natural scenery here was truly splendid, thanks to the climate. There wasn’t much to envy, as Li Yifei could make his family’s estate perpetually spring-like through a Formation Method, which was quite remarkable.
After driving for ten minutes, albeit at a slow speed, Li Yifei arrived at a residential area. This was also a villa zone, with buildings of varying heights, the tallest situated halfway up the hill, nestled among green trees. Shen Kaifeng’s car led him to a four-story villa in front.
The Shen family patriarch, Shen Shichang, had already been briefed by Shen Kaifeng about the situation. After hearing Li Yifei’s intentions, Shen Shichang chuckled lightly and said, "Kaifeng, no need to panic. Let’s see what his purpose is. If he’s merely looking for someone, you may decide on your own. Though he’s a dragon crossing the river, he’s only one person. On the Shen family’s turf, even a dragon can’t stir up trouble. A dragon should coil, a tiger should crouch for me!"
Shen Kaifeng nodded repeatedly and said, "Grandfather, you rest first; your grandson will handle it well."
"Mm, go ahead. Let me know if there’s anything!" Shen Shichang coughed twice, indicating his health wasn’t very good. His speech lacked confidence, resembling a broken bellows.
Li Yifei got out of the car and followed Shen Kaifeng into the villa. It was a house specifically used for hosting guests, and the interior decoration was quite decent. Li Yifei sat down, and Shen Kaifeng ordered someone to make tea while sitting opposite Li Yifei.
"Mr. Li, please!" Shen Kaifeng said, holding up his cup as the tea was served.
Li Yifei nodded slightly, took a few sips of tea, and once again asked to see Shen Kailong.
"Well... Mr. Li, if it’s about such a trivial matter, there’s really no need to go to all this trouble!" Shen Kaifeng said firmly.
Li Yifei let out a chuckle, put down his teacup, making a soft thumping sound, and said quietly, "This isn’t good. I’ve come to find someone, you can either help or refuse, but there’s no need to evade."
"I’m not evading, Mr. Li, I genuinely think it’s unnecessary."
"No, I believe it’s very necessary. I’ve already said I want to thank that bald man and ask him a few questions!" Li Yifei said, looking at Shen Kaifeng, and added, "Why is it so difficult for the head of the Li family to meet someone?"
"That’s certainly not the case... How about this, I’ll send someone to look for him. If he’s at home, I’ll ask him to come see you." Shen Kaifeng said. Facing Li Yifei, he always felt that the other was unfathomable, and thus he became weak without reason.
"Hmm." Li Yifei nodded slightly, smiling satisfactorily.
Shen Kaifeng dispatched people to search. Today was coincidental, as Shen Kailong usually did not come home, but he came back last night. When at home, Shen Kailong restrained himself considerably, prepared to go out hunting at night. However, Shen Kaifeng had already arranged, those who went out were not to bring Shen Kailong over but to inform him of the situation and advise him to leave immediately.
Thinking even with one’s bottom, it was clear Li Yifei’s visit was certainly not to raise a flag or hang banners to thank Shen Kailong. With the latter’s morals, it was probably Li Yifei seeking trouble, so it was better to get Shen Kailong out of the way.
Shen Kaifeng thought his arrangement was correct and believed it should be arranged like this. However, unfortunately, his influence on Shen Kailong was not enough. If Shen Shichang issued an order, Shen Kailong would immediately grab his bag and leave, but as for Shen Kaifeng... Shen Kailong was not aligned with him, thus naturally wouldn’t listen much.
Upon hearing from his subordinate that someone was specifically looking for him, and it was because of last night’s affair, Shen Kailong’s eyes first bulged and then recalled last night’s humiliation, causing his heart to immediately blaze. His one hand was still swollen and painfully unbearable, and the instigator dared to come to the door now to cause trouble, which is akin to lighting a lantern in the toilet, looking for death! So Shen Kailong directly pushed the reporting person aside and strode towards the guest villa, gathering a few people along the way. These people were different from the ordinary Shen family guards, they were martial artists, both of Shen lineage and outside surname but were the most core security strength of the Shen family.
Shen Kailong merely said someone was coming to cause trouble for him, and those martial artists all followed along. What a joke, who would dare come to Shen family’s manor to cause trouble? That’s looking for death.
Two minutes later, just as Shen Kaifeng was trying hard to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, and having a ’pleasant conversation’ with Li Yifei, footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by several bangs as the door was pushed open. Shen Kailong entered with a few people, his face looking unpleasant. Upon entering and seeing Li Yifei, Shen Kailong coldly snorted inwardly, thinking indeed it’s him, damn it, I didn’t go to find him trouble, and this bastard dared to come to Shen family looking for problems. Truly doesn’t know life from death!
Shen Kaifeng’s expression froze instantly; the words he painstakingly said were shattered by Shen Kailong’s appearance. The crucial point was this guy having an angry face, looking like he’s making a grand entrance, which left Shen Kaifeng speechless for those couple of seconds.
Seeing Shen Kailong charge in with people, Li Yifei smiled slightly, still sipping tea.
"Damn it, you bastard, dare to run to Shen family, kid, haven’t you been beaten before!" Shen Kailong stepped before Li Yifei, looking down with glaring eyes, spewing obscenities from his mouth.
Li Yifei still finished the tea in his cup without immediate response, while Shen Kaifeng was flustered. He stood up at once trying to block in front of Shen Kailong, saying, "Kailong, what nonsense are you talking, this is Mr. Li, the Li Family Head!"
"I don’t care if it’s the Li Family Head or the Wang Family Head, damn it, aren’t you done? My hand still hurts terribly, not coming to find you trouble yet, you still dare come looking for my trouble!" While speaking, Shen Kailong was about to reach out to grab Li Yifei.
Yesterday he drank too much, his mind was not clear, his body was not nimble, so he suffered losses, but now Shen Kailong was very sober, so he didn’t think he would suffer any losses.
Shen Kaifeng hurriedly grabbed him, saying coldly, "Kailong, you drank too much, don’t talk nonsense, hurry and leave!"
"Leave my ass, he dares to come, I dare to hit today! Damn it, really gives you the guts, even dares to come to the house." Shen Kailong said pushing Shen Kaifeng aside.
Li Yifei placed down his teacup, slowly stood up, reached out, and gently pushed Shen Kaifeng aside, of course, his gentle push was an irresistible force to Shen Kaifeng, causing his body to involuntarily move aside. Then, staring at Shen Kailong, he said, "Bald man, I am here today to find trouble with you, but don’t feel wronged. What you intended to do last night, you know yourself; daring to lust after my woman, you should prepare to be punished!"
