Chapter 1126: Chapter 1172: If You Want to Come, Then I’ll Let You Come

Li Yifei saw that Zheng Mingrui was already somewhat at a loss for how to handle the situation, and took over the conversation: "Commander Qin, Commander Yao, now not only your two families are sending contestants, but also several other families. There are only so many spots available for the competition, and it’s really not that easy to manage."

Li Zhiyuan snorted, saying, "I don’t care whether it’s easy or not, I, Li Zhiyuan, must have a spot."

Li Yifei ignored Li Zhiyuan, the idiot, and turned to look towards Commander Qin and Commander Yao, slowly saying, "Commanders, under the current circumstances, both of you are mighty figures. We can’t afford to offend either of you, so it seems this time the contestants will have to be all your men."

Commander Qin and Commander Yao both frowned upon hearing this. Although they did not know why the Special Forces Competition suddenly required the Flying Hawk Squad to participate, it was obvious that this competition was given greater importance by the higher-ups than before. Therefore, participating in the competition would undoubtedly present an opportunity to establish significant merit, which was the main reason why all the major forces wanted to send their people.

However, precisely because the higher-ups placed great importance on the competition, if things were mishandled, not achieving any results could lead to serious problems.

Li Zhiyuan glared and bellowed, "What the fuck are you playing at, acting all high and mighty, talking about letting us all participate? Then what’s the fucking point of competing? When I participate, I’m there to claim a spot, not to really compete with those dumbass special forces."

"Slap!" A crisp sound of a slap rang out. Li Zhiyuan spun around twice on the spot, then sat down on the ground with a thud, while Li Yifei stood in front of him, coldly saying, "You’re the fucking dumbass. Whose bitch didn’t fasten her pants properly and squeezed you out like shit?"

"You... you... you dare hit me?" Li Zhiyuan, holding his face, sat on the ground and looked at Li Yifei in disbelief.

Li Yifei snorted coldly and declared, "I’ve decided now, no matter who else I’m not bringing, I will definitely take you with me. Commander Yao, you can go and tell the old master of the Li family, just say that I, Li Yifei, want to take their Li Zhiyuan to the competition."

"Li Yifei! You’re Golden Eagle!" Commander Yao and Commander Qin exclaimed in unison.

Although the Flying Hawk Squad was part of the Capital City Military Region, and Li Yifei was once a soldier in their ranks, they would not have been so surprised to hear Li Yifei’s name a couple of years ago. But in recent times, Li Yifei’s feud with the Three Great Clans had been creating an uproar, and his reputation had spread throughout the upper echelons of Capital City, his fame now much greater than when he was just a soldier.

Moreover, the fact that Li Yifei could confront the Meng Family, Gu Family, and Wei Family and still remain unscathed was proof enough of how strong his backing was now. The Li family wasn’t a small clan by any means, but it was more or less on the same level as the Gu or Meng Families. So for the Li family to confront Li Yifei seemed to hold no advantage.

"Indeed! I am Li Yifei. Commander Qin, Commander Yao, don’t you wonder why this Special Forces Competition specifically required the Flying Hawk Squad’s participation? Have you thought about why I still would personally come back for this competition?"

Commanders Qin and Yao were even more startled by this. They had indeed thought about this matter, but only from a positive perspective, believing that a more important competition meant greater military achievements for those involved.

Commander Qin asked, "Golden Eagle, what’s really going on?"

Li Yifei looked disdainfully at Li Zhiyuan and slowly said, "If this guy is truly lucky, then let him come back and tell you."

Commander Yao turned pale with shock, urgently asking, "Lucky? You mean this competition is very dangerous?"

Li Yifei snorted, "Not dangerous, not at all dangerous, perfectly suitable for those who want to steal the glory to join. I don’t care about the others, but I must make this foul-mouthed Li Zhiyuan participate. Didn’t he say special forces are dumbasses? Well, I’ll let him be a dumbass for once. I want to let him experience first-hand what it really means to be a dumbass."

Commander Yao hastily said, "Golden Eagle, let’s discuss this more carefully, more carefully."

"No need for long discussions. This boy, not only has he insulted me, which is fine, but he has also insulted my brothers, insulted the Flying Hawk Squad, and even more so, insulted all the special forces soldiers who struggle in the most dangerous environments. I must make him understand that when you call someone a dumbass, there is a price to pay."

Li Yifei’s last words were spoken decisively, leaving no room for doubt.

"Golden Eagle!" Commanders Qin and Yao tried to persuade him further, or to clarify things more, but Li Yifei cut them off, gesturing with a wave of his hand and barking, "Get out!" Then he strode out with Zheng Mingrui.

"Motherfucker, you dare to hit me, you’ll soon know what the consequences are. You dare mess with the Li family, I see you really don’t want to..."

Li Zhiyuan suddenly jumped to his feet and started cursing, but he had only gotten halfway through when his face was heavily slapped again, and this time it was Zheng Mingrui who had struck.

Zheng Mingrui was already furious at Li Zhiyuan, but since he was still in the Flying Hawk Squad, there were some reservations at the moment. He hadn’t been the first to strike out just now, but now that Li Yifei had already hit the guy, the feud was set. There was nothing he held back, he would beat up this deserving fool first and talk later.

"Commander Yao, they both hit me, they actually dared to hit me!" Li Zhiyuan came to his senses after Li Yifei and Zheng Mingrui left and immediately started shouting angrily. A man of one meter eighty in height, tears couldn’t help but flow at this moment. Although he was a major, he was not a tough man. He was promoted to this rank relying on his family’s connections. He had never been hit before, and now that he had been beaten, the tears just wouldn’t stop.

Both Commander Qin and Commander Yao frowned internally. Such a man would cry after being beaten and still serve as a soldier, truly a disgrace to the military title.

At this moment, Wang Xinfeng was secretly relieved. It was fortunate he hadn’t said anything out of turn earlier; otherwise, Li Zhiyuan might not have been the only one beaten.

Commander Yao patted Li Zhiyuan on the shoulder, consoling him, "Young Master Li, don’t act rashly. Golden Eagle is not someone to be trifled with. Let’s go back and discuss this properly. I have a feeling that his insisting you attend might not bode well for you."

"I don’t care if he’s a Golden Eagle or a Silver Eagle, daring to hit me, I’ll make sure to flay their skin." Li Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, trying to seem more ferocious, but with tears all over his face, he looked more like a wronged little brat no matter how one looked at him.

"We should talk about it when we get back, as we can’t take advantage here."

The four men left quickly, quite the opposite of their arrogant arrival, now looking rather disheveled.

"Boss, you’re not really going to let that Li Zhiyuan participate in the competition, are you?" Zheng Mingrui couldn’t help asking after the four had left.

Li Yifei snorted, "As if that guy is fit to compete with us, he’s dreaming."

"Then why did you just..." Zheng Mingrui stopped mid-sentence.

Li Yifei’s face showed a sly smile and patted Zheng Mingrui on the shoulder, saying, "I had a confrontation with him, then insisted he participate, sending a signal that participating in the competition would be very dangerous. How could they let him go to his death willingly? They would naturally try to prevent it. And if they try to prevent it, I’ll insist on dragging him along, then his family will naturally come pleading. We’ve got to take a good knock at them, how else could we live up to their expectations?"

Zheng Mingrui’s eyes lit up, and he gave Li Yifei a thumbs up, "Boss is truly the boss, I told them long ago that this competition is dangerous, but they didn’t believe it, thought I was just making excuses. Now, I want to see who would still want to push others into the fire pit knowing what it is."

Commander Yao took Li Zhiyuan back to the Li family. The Li family was quite angry to see that Li Zhiyuan had been beaten within the Flying Hawk Squad, but after hearing the account of events from Commander Yao, the Li family’s people were inwardly shocked.

Commander Yao was a division commander, but still far from reaching the level of the great clans. He didn’t know that Li Yifei and even those higher up quite valued him. Now that the Li family had clashed with Li Yifei, it really wasn’t a wise move.

This dimwit Li Zhiyuan was still shouting angrily, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you have to take revenge for me, I’m going to kill that idiot Golden Eagle."

"Alright, go treat your face first. We will handle this matter."

Despite many wastrels among the younger generation of the big clans, those who eventually hold important positions in the family have some ability. Now these few were very rational. They dealt with Li Zhiyuan first and started to discuss countermeasures.

"This time they’re not only using the Flying Hawk Squad but also having Golden Eagle rejoin for the competition, which shows that it is very important."

"Indeed, there is no doubt about this. But after Golden Eagle had a conflict with Zhiyuan, insisting that Zhiyuan participate makes the matter much bigger. It indicates that the competition is extremely dangerous. Sending Zhiyuan is akin to murder by proxy, plotting to send Zhiyuan to his doom."

"That’s how I see it too, we definitely can’t let Zhiyuan participate."

"But Golden Eagle has already made threats. If he insists on Zhiyuan participating, it seems Zhiyuan really can’t refuse."

"Sigh, this kid Zhiyuan is just too arrogant. Even though our Li family is not weak, there are always some people we can’t provoke. Now we’ve really attracted trouble."

"Worrying openly won’t help; let’s think of a solution instead. I think Golden Eagle’s actions are not necessarily aimed at making Zhiyuan go, but rather to vent about Zhiyuan’s disrespectful words. I think we should go talk to him, and maybe offer something to appease the situation."

Really, there were indeed some talented people within such large clans like the Li family who guessed Li Yifei’s intentions. But even though they figured it out, they could only go along with Li Yifei’s wishes, otherwise they would indeed be sending Li Zhiyuan to his death.
