Chapter 1093: Chapter 1136: The Money Has Arrived

After seeing off the elders from the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family, Li Yifei felt a bit perplexed. Their reactions were overly enthusiastic, and with his current capabilities, he was nowhere near the level that would warrant such flattery from both families.

Even if it was to maintain their relationships with the Su Family, there was no need for them to treat him like this. There was definitely something Li Yifei didn’t know yet.

At this moment, his phone rang. It was a call from home. Li Yifei answered, and Xiao Ling’er’s voice came through: "Husband, is everything okay over there?"

Li Yifei nodded and said, "It’s fine, I’m at the Su Family’s place now. Your grandpa and Yuling’s grandpa just left."

"Ah, they went there, huh? Did you guys ..."

"We’re good. By the way, did you tell them I was in Capital City?"

"Yes, after you left, we were worried you might encounter some issues in Capital City, so we informed them."

Li Yifei raised an eyebrow, suddenly thinking of something.

"Husband, what’s wrong?" Xiao Ling’er asked again.

Li Yifei gave a slight smile, "Nothing. We’ll talk when I get back. By the way, I have some matters to attend to here, so it might take a couple of days before I return."

"Oh, okay then, be careful. If anything comes up, go find my grandpa and the others."

After hanging up, Li Yifei somewhat guessed the situation. Xiao Ling’er and Zheng Yuling, hoping to repair his relations with both families, had called home, seeking an opportunity for him to make contact and thaw relations. It was indeed with this motive in mind that the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family came to see him, but they unexpectedly learned of his meeting with several high-ranking officials today.

Li Yifei met with the No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 leaders. The trio’s joint appearance held much significance. Even the clan chiefs of any major families at present wouldn’t expect to be received by all three leaders together. Although the two families didn’t know what exactly was discussed between the leaders and Li Yifei, it was definitely important, implying that Li Yifei’s status and identity were absolutely extraordinary.

Thus, the Xiao and Zheng families did not just send a few elders to handle the situation as before but had both patriarchs personally step in, showing a favorable attitude.

However, Li Yifei still had a doubt—his meeting with these leaders was supposed to be confidential. The leaders had made it clear that Li Yifei’s current activities must be conducted in secrecy. How had the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family found out so easily?

At this point, Li Yifei’s phone rang again, this time from Wei Zijun.

"Young Master Wei, what’s the special occasion? What made you think to call me?" Li Yifei teased as a preemptive move.

Wei Zijun’s laughter sounded a bit strained, but he quickly said, "Brother Yifei, we are old acquaintances, aren’t we? It’s only right to make a call."

"Really? But you, Young Master Wei, are my enemy. We still have unfinished business."

Wei Zijun laughed heartily and said, "We who handle big affairs know that the line between friend and foe isn’t always clear, and I’m certain Brother Yifei isn’t one to hold petty grudges."

Li Yifei smiled lightly, "You’re quite wrong, Young Master Wei. My tolerance isn’t indeed very wide, especially for those who wish for my family’s downfall—I remember that for a lifetime."

There was no need for Li Yifei to beat around the bush with these people. Since they were enemies, there was no need for pleasantries.

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about that for now. I’m calling you, Brother Yifei, to fulfill our bet. I’ve been quite busy recently, and also, gathering those thirty billion wasn’t easy. I’ve just managed to pull it together today, and I’m about to transfer it to you now."

Li Yifei replied with surprise, "Young Master Wei, am I hearing wrong? It seemed like you guys have always been stalling."

One of Li Yifei’s purposes for coming to Capital City was to go after these three families for badgering his family severely, and then dragging their feet on settling the bet. Li Yifei wouldn’t let it slide easily.

"You’ve misunderstood, brother Yifei, I wasn’t dragging my feet, there were reasons indeed. The money is ready now, I’ll transfer it at once, showing my sincerity."

Li Yifei didn’t stand on ceremony this time and directly gave his account details to Wei Zijun. After hanging up, it wasn’t long before Li Yifei received the funds, and Wei Zijun then sent him a message confirming the transfer, instead of calling again, evidently not wanting to hear more of Li Yifei’s taunts.

Looking at the string of numbers, Li Yifei shook his head—over thirty billion, just like that, handed over. Was Young Master Wei out of his mind?

Pondering this, he received a call from Gu Yanan. Li Yifei asked straight away, "Young Master Gu, are you sending me money as well?"

Gu Yanan replied very calmly, "Indeed, I honor bets and promises, Young Master Gu doesn’t go back on his word. Please, Brother Yifei, give me your account number, and I’ll transfer the money immediately."

Li Yifei gave him the account details, and, as expected, within minutes, Gu Yanan’s money was transferred in.

Just after wrapping up with Gu Yanan, a call from Meng Qianjun came through, also about transferring money.

"Young Master Meng, you guys really do have a tacit understanding. All the money came together right on schedule," Li Yifei teased.

Meng Qianjun responded directly, "Look, Brother Yifei, even if we wanted to renege now, we can’t. With higher-ups backing you, if we defaulted on our debts, wouldn’t we just be asking for trouble?"

Li Yifei laughed it off and said, "Young Master Meng is really well-informed."

"Haha, I surely don’t want to make such a powerful enemy, so I’d better pay up nicely."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yifei considered the affairs of the Xiao Family, the Zheng Family, and Meng Qianjun, sensing that something was odd. Could it be that his meeting with several leaders from the Central Government had already become widely known throughout Capital City? Otherwise, why would they act this way?

Old Master Su returned at this moment, and Li Yifei immediately shared his confusion.

Old Master Su laughed heartily and said, "Of course, that was a message intentionally released by the top brass. Otherwise, how would others come to know about it?"

"A message they released?" Li Yifei didn’t quite understand for a moment.

"That’s right, they’re letting you handle such a big matter. Officially, they can’t do much, but your family has just been established, and you will undoubtedly face many difficulties later. By putting out this information now, it makes the other major families cautious not to provoke you, which is more favorable for your development. This is the support they are offering you right now."

Li Yifei suddenly had an epiphany, then smiled wryly, "It seems these people really know how to grasp the leaders’ intentions. Just releasing news of a meeting with me can make all these big families treat me like this."

"Hehe, don’t act smart with me, kid. At least, for now, your initial development funds are sufficient."

Li Yifei nodded, feeling quite pleased with the ten billion he had obtained, and chuckled, "And I think the benefits aren’t just for now. There will be a lot of indirect benefits in the future too."

"Naturally, a single word from the leaders can often bring significant impact. I’ll just sit at home and wait for the pie to fall from the sky."

"By the way, grandpa, I’m moving this weekend. Are you coming?"

"I’d better not. My current status is quite sensitive, and it would be troublesome if I went. Having the patriarchs of the Xiao Family and the Zheng Family there should be more than enough to support you."

Old Master Su is the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, so wherever he goes would undoubtedly cause a huge stir. Therefore, it’s completely normal for him not to go.

"I’m not going, but your Third Grandpa will definitely go for the excitement. Otherwise, it wouldn’t look good for you." Su’s Third Eldest added with a chuckle.

Li Yifei felt speechless when he thought of Third Grandpa. After the last incident at his home was resolved, Third Grandpa actually went to a bar and picked up a girl, bringing her back. At his age, still having such spirits and charm, truly a remarkable character.

As they were talking about Third Master, Third Master returned and, seeing Li Yifei, said excitedly, "Yifei, you’ve actually come. That’s fantastic."

Li Yifei quickly said, "Third Grandpa, thank you for helping me last time."

"Forget that, it’s so boring. By the way, Mengxin didn’t come back with you, did she?"

"No."

"And the other girls didn’t come with you either, right?"

"Right."

Third Grandpa slapped his hand and declared, "Perfect! Today, you’re going out with Third Grandpa to pick up girls."

Li Yifei’s expression darkened immediately, "Third Grandpa, I’d rather not."

"What do you mean not going? You’re young and should go out and have some fun. What’s the big deal?"

"But... I’m really not interested in that anymore."

"No, no! If you don’t go with me, then you’re not treating me as a bro. Isn’t there a saying? ’Friends that have been under fire together, shared a bunk, split loot, and visited brothels - those are true bros.’ We haven’t been under fire together, haven’t shared a bunk, nor split loot, so we can only go to a brothel together. You mustn’t refuse, or else you don’t see me as your brother."

Li Yifei felt a cold sweat run down his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Third Grandpa, you’re my elder, how could you be a brother?"

"Nonsense. Generational ranking is one thing, brotherhood is another. I tell you, if you don’t go with me, I’ll cut ties with you from now on." With that, Third Grandpa disregarded Old Master Su, dragged Li Yifei, and headed outside.

Li Yifei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What kind of logic was this? And Old Master Su just smiled on the side, with no intention to stop them. It seemed he had no way to deal with his brother.
