Chapter 1092: Chapter 1135: Extend an Olive Branch

"Golden Eagle, I heard you have established a family," chuckled Chief Number Four, asking Li Yifei.

Li Yifei promptly responded humbly, "Yes, my personal relationships are somewhat complex. In order to provide a good life for them, I had no choice but to establish such a family."

Chief Number Four nodded and said, "I can understand that, but do you know what comes with establishing a family?"

Li Yifei nodded and replied, "Grandpa Su had mentioned it to me before, and I also have some understanding of it."

"Now, tell me about your own thoughts," Chief Number Three said solemnly.

Chief Number Three, always known for his serious demeanor, seldom interacted with Li Yifei, but Li Yifei knew this was just his usual manner and not something directed at him. Gathering his thoughts, he said, "Firstly, my initial idea was simple, to allow my family to lead a happy and blissful life. However, due to some people constantly targeting me, I was unable to protect them on my own, so I had to gather some people, but I never intended for them to commit any acts."

At this point, the chiefs remained silent. Li Yifei continued, "I’m aware that this will inevitably lead to conflicts, like the recent clashes with the Meng Family, Gu Family, and Wei Family that were unavoidable."

Chief Number Three spoke solemnly, "Have you considered that such conflicts might escalate and become more frequent in the future? It’s easy to run afoul of the law when that happens. Our country is now a nation of laws, and regardless of the circumstances, such conflicts are not permissible."

Li Yifei inhaled sharply and said, "I understand, but no matter the challenges, I must face them." Then, he anxiously looked at the chiefs, knowing their words could determine the fate and future of the Li family.

For well-established major families, the chiefs handled them with many reservations, due to their significant entangled power. But for a family like his, it was straightforward—they could be dealt with without any such concerns.

"Very well, such a spirited young man," after a pause of ten to twenty seconds, Chief Number Three suddenly said.

Li Yifei felt relieved, it seemed that the chiefs were not opposed to the matter.

Chief Number Four smiled and said, "Golden Eagle, we asked you to come today because we have a task for you."

Li Yifei immediately stood up, heels together, and loudly responded, "Mission will be accomplished." This was a natural response of a soldier in the presence of his superiors.

All the chiefs nodded. Chief Number Four said, "It seems you have not forgotten that you are a soldier, and moreover, an elite among soldiers. But I must remind you that this is not a simple matter."

Li Yifei spoke loudly, "No matter how difficult, I will try my best to complete it."

"Then sit down, let’s all take a seat and talk slowly."

Over two hours later, Li Yifei and Old Master Su walked out of the villa together. Li Yifei was still in a daze, not knowing how he managed to walk out of the premises; he had never expected to be assigned such a task, seemingly meant for more than one person, yet it was handed to him alone. The enormity of the task was beyond imagination, but its significance was profound if accomplished.

Getting into the car, Old Master Su patted his shoulder and said, "Stop dazing, start driving."

Li Yifei then came back to himself, turned to look at Old Master Su, shook his head, and said, "Grandpa, this responsibility is too great."

Old Master Su smiled lightly and said, "It is great. Whether it can be successful, no one can predict; you just have to do your best."

Li Yifei took a deep breath and said, "I’ll give it my all."

"Alright, then let’s go home."

Li Yifei drove Old Master Su home, where Old Master Su provided him with further advice, things that couldn’t be mentioned in the setting they had just left, all proving immensely beneficial for Li Yifei.

After discussing these matters, Li Yifei recalled something and asked, "Grandpa, does our country still have some special masters?"

Old Master Su smiled slightly and answered, "Naturally, outside, your Flying Hawk Squad is the strongest force in our country, but that’s just externally. In fact, with our country’s 5000 years of heritage, there are truly top-tier masters, albeit few, but certainly exist, like the one you encountered today; he is one of them."

"How many such masters are there?"

"I am not quite sure myself; actually, such top-tier masters, I have only met two. These individuals can only be commanded directly by Chief Number One and Number Two, and they wouldn’t appear unless in extremely significant events."

Li Yifei was startled and exclaimed, "So many!"

"Hehe, did you always think you were the strongest?"

"No, I’ve always believed there are surely people stronger than me, but I didn’t expect there to be so many."

"However, these masters have rather peculiar temperaments. Even the Number One and Number Two leaders can’t truly command them. It all depends on whether they agree or not, and as far as I know, they have intervened only a few times."

"Yes, I understand. They are only meant to handle particularly significant emergencies. They do not typically involve themselves in everyday affairs."

"Yes, but if you have the chance to make their acquaintance, it would indeed be beneficial. It would greatly elevate your status."

Aside from today, Li Yifei truly had not encountered such masters. He held a deep admiration for the strong. If he could really get to know such people, Li Yifei would look forward to it eagerly.

At that moment, someone came to inform them that members from the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family had come to visit. Old Master Su said with a smile, "Yifei, it seems that the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family have come to extend their goodwill."

Li Yifei grinned slightly and said, "They are also my wife’s family. How could I possibly quarrel with them?"

"Yes, this is how large families function. Interests are always the primary concern. For the sake of family interests, many times they don’t even consider national interests. Although they have indeed contributed greatly to the nation in the past, they are now hindering national development."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "I understand. Let’s go see them then."

The two entered the living room, where six people were already present. Two of them were familiar to Li Yifei, one being the Fourth Master of the Xiao Family, and the other being the Fifth Master of the Zheng Family. The other four, although not well-known to Li Yifei, were recognizable. All four were high-ranking national leaders, and although they did not hold positions as influential as Old Master Su, their roles were still considerably prominent.

"Old Master Su!" All six greeted Old Master Su respectfully.

Old Master Su laughed heartily and said, "Elder Xiao, Elder Song, sorry for not coming out to meet you."

"Old Master Su, you flatter us."

The two speaking were the leaders of the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family, both were significant former leaders of the Central Government. Now retired, the other two still held posts in the Central Government but have never reached the status achieved by the former leaders of their family; hence the decline in influence of their families over the past years.

After exchanging courtesies with Old Master Su, Li Yifei stepped forward to greet everyone.

In front of Old Master Su, people from both Xiao and Song families behaved reservedly towards Li Yifei, merely offering simple greetings before they all took their seats.

Old Master Su chatted briefly with the two families and then said, "Sorry, I have some matters to attend to and need to excuse myself first, Yifei, please host our guests."

Normally, it would be quite rude for a host to leave shortly after the guests’ arrival, but at this moment, members from the Xiao and Zheng families were actually grateful to Old Master Su, as this provided them with the opportunity to converse with Li Yifei.

Once Old Master Su left, the living room quieted down for a moment. Elder Xiao from the Xiao Family coughed slightly and said, "Yifei, regarding the incident last time... we are very sorry."

Elder Song from the Song Family continued, "At that time, your life was at stake, and our families, neither too large nor too small, simply didn’t possess the strength to confront those three families; we genuinely lacked the courage to challenge them."

Although Li Yifei knew that the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family had come to make amends, he was still surprised by the humility of these two family heads. This was not merely an attempt to make amends; it was practically an apology.

"The two of you, I understand your decision at that time, so I do not blame you. Besides, being the younger generation, how could I blame you?"

"That’s good to hear!" The old masters exchanged looks, their faces revealing nothing, yet there was a hint of joy in their eyes. Elder Xiao said, "Yifei, since you can put this matter behind you, from now on, we are a family. If you ever need anything from us, just say the word. We are not outsiders."

Elder Zheng from the Zheng Family also said, "Yes, after all, you are my grandson-in-law, so there’s no need for separation within the family. Whatever help you need, we will certainly provide."

Li Yifei quickly expressed his gratitude. The family heads inquired about Zheng Yuling and Xiao Ling’er’s situation in the Li family, and also asked what kind of help Li Yifei currently needed. While Li Yifei was mainly developing his business in Mile City and didn’t need much help from the two families at the moment, he would definitely need their support in the future, so he was very cordial towards both families.

"By the way, Yifei, I heard you are moving to a new home this weekend. We must come over for a celebration drink. You wouldn’t mind, right?"

Li Yifei replied cheerfully, "Otherwise, I would have invited everyone anyway. If I didn’t invite you, wouldn’t that be rude of me?" He was planning to ask these families to speak on his behalf at that time.

"Very well, then we will certainly attend," the two family heads readily agreed, their excitement evident.
