Chapter 1048: Chapter 1092: Pressure from the Saintess_2

And next, Li Yifei didn’t say much. He only outlined the main points to give Brother Hu a direction, as getting too involved would not only undermine Brother Hu’s capabilities but also drag himself into unnecessary trouble.

Once Brother Hu received Li Yifei’s instructions, he felt confident about taking action. He immediately arranged for his men to cause trouble at Meng Qianjun’s place. His woman had been humiliated by Meng’s men, and he was already seething with rage. If he didn’t strike back, he would lose face as a leader.

Meng Qianjun, on his part, was not willing to show weakness either. Both sides immediately clashed, but Meng didn’t restrain his men, and for the moment, both were engaged in minor skirmishes. However, to the discerning eye, it was clear that a serious conflict was inevitable between Meng Qianjun and Brother Hu—one the outsider trying to establish authority and the other the local force.

As the chief, Lin Qiong was immediately informed of the situation. Knowing that Brother Hu was acting on Li Yifei’s advice complicated things for her. As a police officer, she of course couldn’t allow any gang conflicts, and she intended to eradicate such activities.

Now that both Li Yifei and Meng Qianjun were involved, she really didn’t know what to do.

"Husband, your involvement in these affairs really puts me in a difficult position," Lin Qiong said one evening, her brow furrowed as she spoke to Li Yifei and Song Lianyao.

Li Yifei just smiled unconcernedly and replied, "Wife, you don’t have to worry, just do whatever you need to do. You are a police officer, after all. Do what you must."

"Huh?" Lin Qiong was a bit confused.

Li Yifei lit a cigarette, took a drag, and explained, "My wife is a police officer. How could I step into the underworld? But as for Meng Qianjun, that guy has made it clear he wants to play dirty, and if I don’t respond, it would just show that I’m too weak. It wouldn’t be good for our Li family’s future. He’s just playing a game now and those people are merely his pawns. Eventually, it will come down to who plays smarter."

"I still don’t understand. If I arrest all the troublemakers, including your people, what will you do?"

"Wife, given Meng Qianjun’s current power, even if you want to arrest him, the higher-ups will just let him go. You can’t stop that. And if they let go of Meng Qianjun’s men, they can’t just keep mine. Let’s let Meng Qianjun take the lead now."

"Oh, I see. Then I can really go all out."

"Yeah, just go ahead, but be sure to stay safe. Meng Qianjun is dangerous; never confront him directly. If it’s absolutely necessary to face him, make sure to inform me."

"Alright, I understand now."

Lin Qiong, realizing that Li Yifei wasn’t truly interested in underworld activities, felt relieved. She didn’t want to be on opposing sides with Li Yifei. As Meng Qianjun was Li Yifei’s enemy, using some tactics against him seemed justified.

"Oh, wife, we can’t just target him because he’s my enemy."

Lin Qiong indeed harbored such intentions. She wanted to be a fair police officer, but Meng Qianjun was clearly a bad character. Helping her husband and her family by leveraging her position seemed reasonable, but having Li Yifei point it out directly made her somewhat embarrassed. She quickly turned the tables by pinning Li Yifei under her, saying, "Got it, now I’ll handle you."

Li Yifei immediately cried out dramatically, "Wife, spare me, Lianyao, save your husband!"

Song Lianyao chuckled and said, "This time I have to firmly stand by Lin Qiong’s side. I want to bully you too." With that, she kissed Li Yifei, while Lin Qiong sat on top of him, frantically engaging in the most primal actions.

In the following days, Lin Qiong launched some operations and arrested quite a few people, but just as Li Yifei had predicted, Meng Qianjun pulled some strings and his men were quickly released.

Li Yifei had also put in a word with the higher-ups, and Brother Hu’s men were released as well.

This immediately sent a signal to the people below that Brother Hu’s backing was just as strong as Meng Qianjun’s. Otherwise, the police wouldn’t have released all the arrested individuals. Whose power was stronger, their people got out; the weaker had to stay.

Meng Qianjun’s people took it for granted, but Brother Hu’s men’s confidence greatly increased. Knowing they had such strong backing, there was nothing to fear in clashing with Meng Qianjun’s men. After all, if anything went wrong, there were those above to handle it.

For the moment, things rested there. Li Yifei continued to focus a lot of his energy on managing his company. Now, his adversaries were not limited to Meng Qianjun; Wei Zijun and Gu Yanan were also threats. Although not as direct as Meng Qianjun, once these two made their move, they could pose significant dangers.

Additionally, there was a woman known as the Holy Maiden, whose actions were peculiar and now posed the greatest pressure on Li Yifei, as his business had started operating normally. The Holy Maiden’s company was similar to Li Yifei’s, and competition arose between them as they operated.
