Chapter 1129: Chapter 1175: Torturing Li Tianhua

Li Zhiyuan had been with Flying Hawk Squad for less than two hours when Li Tianhua from the Li family came once again to Flying Hawk Squad. Knowing that Li Yifei had deep connections with Su Family, Zheng Family, Xiao Family and Ning Family, he contacted these four families hoping they would intercede on his behalf so Li Yifei would spare Zhiyuan.

However, all four families essentially responded with the same sentiment. Although their daughters were close to Li Yifei, what Li Yifei decided to do was beyond their control as he did not rely on their families, especially since it involved military matters which made it inappropriate for them to intervene.

This secretly alarmed Li Tianhua. Normally, when there is a conflict between the younger generations of great families, the elders would mediate and defuse the situation, and after his shamelessly begging, they should have given him some face.

Yet they did not afford him that respect, leading to two possibilities: first, they were all entirely aligned with Li Yifei, or second, Li Yifei had already gained enough strength to be on par with these great families and they couldn’t influence his decisions.

With all options exhausted, Li Tianhua had no choice but to personally plead for mercy. He could not bear to see his nephew perish in the Flying Hawk Squad.

In military training, the death of a person, though considered an accident, isn’t regarded as a severe issue because accidents are deemed inevitable during military training.

If an accident happened in the Flying Hawk Squad causing Li Zhiyuan to die there, it was certain that no one would pursue the members of the Flying Hawk Squad, and if they even tried, each member of the squad was savvy enough to manage such situations without fault or else they wouldn’t belong in the Flying Hawk Squad.

Li Tianhua arrived at the entrance of the Flying Hawk Squad, but the guards stationed there stopped him.

"I am Li Tianhua, I need to see your captain and Golden Eagle," Li Tianhua stated gravely, revealing his identity.

The guards at the entrance were members of the Flying Hawk Squad and showed no respect to Li Tianhua, stating flatly with stern faces, "The squad is currently training, and no visitors are allowed."

That he was snubbed by Zheng Mingrui and Li Yifei was one thing, but now even a regular member of the Flying Hawk Squad dared to speak to him with disdain: "Bastard, don’t you know who I am?"

"Sorry, no one is allowed to disturb us at this time."

"What if I insist on entering?" Li Tianhua was furious, knowing the longer his nephew stayed inside, the more dangerous it would be, prompting him to try and force his way in.

"Click-click!" Two guards promptly cocked their rifles and aimed directly at Li Tianhua, stating unequivocally, "Flying Hawk Squad barracks are off-limits. Forcing your way in will be met with lethal force!"

"You dare?" Li Tianhua’s eyes widened and veins on his forehead bulged.

The two guards remained silent, fingers firmly on the triggers, unflinching and ready to shoot if Li Tianhua took another step forward.

Realizing the guards’ resolve, Li Tianhua, although furious, dared not risk his life, and huffed, "Then hurry up and let them know I’m here."

"Sorry, it’s training time, no disturbances allowed. You’ll have to wait until after the training to send a message."

"You... you bastards, just you wait!" Li Tianhua was enraged, seething, stiff with anger because they wouldn’t inform or let him in. He had no choice but to wait there.

"Ah! Ah!" Faintly, Li Tianhua heard a scream, a painful one that sounded distressingly like his own nephew, Li Zhiyuan.

This made him even more anxious, but no matter how distraught he was, he could not enter and could only pace back and forth. There was small comfort in knowing at least that Zhiyuan was still alive.

About ten minutes later, Zhiyuan’s voice suddenly stopped, causing Li Tianhua’s heart to race again, and he attempted to storm in once more – but the two guards once again readied their rifles without hesitation.

"Let me in, you’ve killed Li Zhiyuan!" Li Tianhua’s eyes were bloodshot, not believing the guards would truly shoot, he crazily attempted to break in.

As he guessed, the guards indeed did not shoot, but that didn’t mean they allowed Li Tianhua to enter. One of them raised the butt of his rifle and struck Li Tianhua on the back of his neck.

"You..." Li Tianhua’s body shook, only managing to utter those two words before collapsing to the ground, motionless.

The two guards chuckled, one of them remarking, "Hitting a director, damn, first time doing this kind of thing – truly thrilling."

"Really that thrilling?" the other guard questioned.

"Of course, it’s thrilling, damn, hitting important people really does give a different feeling. Why don’t you try too?"

"Heh, let me have a go then," said the other, as he kicked Li Tianhua twice more, then laughed, "Indeed quite satisfying, just thinking that a director is lying here makes it incredibly exhilarating."

"What are you doing? He’s already knocked out," came the voice of Li Yifei from behind them.

The two immediately straightened up and then said guiltily, "Boss, wasn’t it what you said? No matter who tries to come in, we should not let them in, and to beat them up if they force their way through."

Li Yifei gave them a look and said, "When I told you guys to beat them up, it should be when they are awake, that way they would remember it clearly. You knocked him out first and then continued to beat him, how would he know what happened?"

The two were stunned for a moment, then felt extremely annoyed. Turns out their beating was still wrong after all. If they followed Li Yifei’s method, wouldn’t it be even more satisfying?

Luckily, Li Tianhua was unconscious at this moment. If he was awake now, he would be furious enough to spit blood.

Li Yifei waved his hand and said, "Alright, first take him to the guardhouse now, if we leave him out in the sun too long and he dies, then we are really in trouble."

The two officers immediately carried Li Tianhua and dumped him inside the guardhouse like tossing a sack. Having not satisfied themselves with the beating earlier, this could be considered as making up for the loss.

Li Yifei quickly switched out the officers on duty, gave the new ones some instructions, and then turned around to enter the barracks.

After another ten minutes or so, Li Tianhua finally woke up, immediately feeling a sharp pain in his neck, and it seemed like his body had suffered a beating, and he also realized he was inside the guardhouse.

This filled Li Tianhua with indescribable anger; two ordinary officers had dared to beat him, this was simply too disrespectful. In one swift motion, he charged out of the guardhouse and bellowed, "You two bastards dared to beat me!"

"Stop, don’t move!" A guard immediately shouted, pointing a gun at Li Tianhua.

Li Tianhua halted, then realized that these two guards were not the ones from before.

"Where are the two guards from before?" Li Tianhua asked angrily.

"What two guards from before? We have been standing guard here for more than two hours."

"Two hours?" Li Tianhua checked his watch; it hadn’t even been an hour since he arrived.

"When you came here, you stumbled and directly fell down here, and we took you to the guardhouse," another guard interjected, "Quickly, who are you? This is a military area, what is your purpose here?"

"What? You said you’ve been here for two hours?"

"Are you confused? Since you’re awake now, just leave this place quickly; you shouldn’t be staying here."

The two guards bewildered Li Tianhua, who subconsciously turned to leave, but after a few steps, he abruptly turned around and angrily declared, "I am Minister Li Tianhua, uncle to Li Zhiyuan, and I am here to see Captain Zheng and Golden Eagle."

"So it is Minister Li, but our team is currently training, and you cannot enter now."

"Then let me notify them."

"Not possible, no one can disturb during training."

"You..." Li Tianhua clenched his fists in fury but did not force his way in again. Having reached this position, he was certainly capable and was well aware that this was a little trick by the Flying Hawk Squad. If he forced his way again, he would undoubtedly be knocked down like before. He realized that the members of the Flying Hawk Squad dared to do anything; he did not want to get beaten again.

Fortunately, Li Tianhua did not make another attempt to barge in, otherwise these two fellows would not have just knocked him out first, but would have truly given him a vigorous beating.

Seeing Li Tianhua backing down, the two guards felt somewhat disappointed; it was a great opportunity to beat up a high-ranking official—a chance that wouldn’t come again. Since Li Tianhua did not force his way in, they couldn’t just rush up and beat him.

Wait, wait, another whole hour had passed, and Li Tianhua, baked by the sun until his head felt oily, finally saw Zheng Mingrui and Li Yifei walking towards the gate.

"Minister Li, when did you arrive?" Zheng Mingrui came up, appearing very warm.

Li Tianhua was furious inside, but he knew he absolutely couldn’t lose his temper at this moment. These people were nothing short of ruffians; trying to establish any relations with them was utterly unfeasible. He forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "I’ve been here for a while, but since you were training, I could only wait here."

Zheng Mingrui immediately berated the two guards: "Minister Li is here, how could you not report this? Even if you didn’t report, could you not let Minister Li wait inside the guardhouse? How could you let Minister Li stand out in the scorching sun for so long?"

Watching Zheng Mingrui playing this act, Li Tianhua’s inner rage intensified. This was clearly intentional on their part, these damn rascals. Once this matter was settled, he would see how he would deal with them.
