Chapter 1214 - 1262: Meng Xiaofei’s Eccentricity

Chapter 1214: Chapter 1262: Meng Xiaofei’s Eccentricity

For Li Yifei, today’s incident was definitely unexpected, but since it happened, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing. At least Brother Hao could be of use to him in the future. Mile City includes Dawa, and his desire to be the emperor there is simply out of the question.

So as long as Brother Hao stays in Dawa, even if he is not directly under Brother Hu, a word from Brother Hu would be enough for him to get things done. And as for the big boss behind the scenes—himself—he naturally wouldn’t dare to offend.

These underground forces are indeed not a good source for normal people, but since ancient times, such forces have never been completely eliminated. Li Yifei does not harbor grand ambitions to eradicate these forces, so making good use of them is his best approach for now.

Of course, what Li Yifei detests the most is drug trafficking and forcing women into prostitution. Drug trafficking is undeniably a scourge that harms the country and its people, not a question of crime, but a matter of basic human decency. And recently, with Lin Qiong’s crackdown on Noah’s Ark’s drug supply, the drug situation in Mile City has greatly improved. Moreover, Li Yifei has emphasized this point to Brother Hu, who had long ago instructed his subordinates not to touch drugs. With the major underground forces abstaining from drugs, Mile City naturally saw a reduction in drug activities. However, some other channels are unavoidable, so there are still some drugs circulating.

Regarding the matter of prostitution, Li Yifei is neither supportive nor against it. Whether acknowledged or not, the industry undeniably plays a role in reducing the rate of rape crimes. As long as both parties are willing, Li Yifei doesn’t think it’s a big deal.

Controlling these underground forces, if one wishes to profit from these areas, may not be a good thing. But for someone like Li Yifei, it could be a beneficial act for both the country and the people.

It was also for this reason that Lin Qiong, a female police officer with a strong sense of justice, did not express any objections. She only asked Li Yifei not to get too involved and just to keep them under control.

It was after ten when he got home that night. Today, it wasn’t Su Yiyi accompanying Li Yifei. In front of Li Yifei’s villa, Su Yiyi suddenly hugged Li Yifei and whispered softly, "Hubby, thank you."

Li Yifei embraced Su Yiyi’s waist, "Silly girl, there’s no need for thanks between us. I see your dad, and that’s just what I should do. Now that he has learned his lesson, I will certainly treat him well as my father-in-law."

"Hubby, you’re so good," Su Yiyi lifted her head and kissed Li Yifei’s face, then whispered in his ear, "When it’s my turn, I’ll definitely take good care of you."

"Ha, Yiyi, it’s not easy to hear such words from you."

"Stop it," Su Yiyi said shyly, just as she always was, and then let go of Li Yifei and ran towards her villa.

Watching Su Yiyi enter her villa, Li Yifei then entered his own. Inside, the lights were brightly lit in the living room, where Ning Xin’er and Li Xinyue were sitting on the couch with a pile of documents in front of them.

"Why are you still working so late?" asked Li Yifei, somewhat surprised. Generally speaking, whoever came to accompany Li Yifei would put their work aside.

Ning Xin’er pushed away the documents in her hand and rubbed her forehead, saying, "It’s really frustrating. We’ve been preparing for a movie recently, but now the director and several important actors have encountered problems, and everything has come to a halt."

Li Yifei squeezed in between the two and said, "I don’t understand the business of filmmaking, but I suppose it’s similar to doing business. It’s normal to encounter some setbacks, right?"

Li Xinyue shook her head and said, "It’s not a setback, it’s competition. The director and actors we had on board have suddenly taken on other projects. I can’t help feeling like a competitor is trying to sabotage us."

"Oh, have you investigated?"

Ning Xin’er shook her head, "This only happened in the past few days, and we’re not yet clear whether it’s someone deliberately undermining us or if it’s just a coincidence. The main issue is, as a fledgling film company, we don’t pose a threat to any other company, so there’s no reason for anyone to target us."

Li Xinyue gave a wry smile and said, "Logic dictates that, but it’s too much of a coincidence that the director and several key actors would all back out last minute. Xin’er, you haven’t encountered something like this before, have you?"

"Of course not, which is why I find it suspicious," said Ning Xin’er confidently.

Li Yifei, wrapping his arms around the two, said reassuringly, "Well, let’s just investigate. We can send a couple of people from the family over, and we should have answers quickly."

Ning Xin’er nodded and huffed, "Indeed, we need to investigate. Normal competition is acceptable, but if they’re resorting to subterfuge, then the Li family won’t be intimidated." Now Ning Xin’er, as the CEO of the film company, truly exuded a commanding presence, seemingly reverting to her true nature.

Li Yifei laughed heartily, "That’s my Little Xin’er for you, always so assertive."

Ning Xin’er couldn’t help but smile and said, "Alright, then. I’ll show you assertive tonight. Get the whip and candles ready."

Li Yifei’s face turned dark as he said, "Xin’er, I didn’t expect you to have a dominatrix streak."

Li Xinyue giggled and said, "Honey, if you’re interested in that kind of play, I can join in with Xin’er."

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and replied, "Let’s forget it. After all, I am the head of the family. If I let you two ride over me, how can I face anyone in the future?"

"So, am I going to ride on your face tonight?" Ning Xin’er blinked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei’s heart swayed and he replied, "If that’s the case... well, I’d be more than happy. Let’s go, let’s go, work can wait, let’s go upstairs and put it into practice."

The next morning, Li Yifei woke up early, as he always did. Last night, Ning Xin’er and Li Xinyue might have been under a lot of work stress, needing to vent in bed, which really wore Li Yifei out. But when he woke up early in the morning, he was still full of energy and did not show any fatigue. It must all be due to the benefits of True Qi. Even if he wasn’t tired before, there was no way he would be as spirited as he was now.

Li Yifei had already taught the basics to the family guards at home and now it was up to them to grasp the concepts on their own. For Li Yifei himself, his focus was on further cultivating his True Qi. Those external techniques and the like were secondary.

After getting up, he went to sit down on a rockery in the backyard to concentrate and feel the flow of True Qi within him.

After exchanging ideas with Murong Yuanqing, Li Yifei knew that True Qi required not only diligent practice but also a process of understanding. As long as one could comprehend quickly, the enhancement of True Qi would be rapid. If one couldn’t grasp it, then no matter how diligent the practice, progress would be slow.

The progress made by Xu Shanshan made Li Yifei envious, so now he couldn’t afford to slack off, otherwise, being beaten by Xu Shanshan in the future would be a real blow to his pride.

"Brother-in-law!" After more than half an hour, Xu Shanshan’s voice came from below the rockery.

Li Yifei opened his eyes and saw Xu Shanshan and Jiang Ningxiang standing below. He gracefully leaped down and said with a smile, "Shanshan, Ningxiang."

Jiang Ningxiang immediately greeted him respectfully, "Good morning, Brother Li."

Li Yifei nodded and asked, "What brings you both here?"

Xu Shanshan blinked at Li Yifei and said, "Come and help me figure out Little Ningxiang’s Innate Vital Energy. I’m at a complete loss now."

Jiang Ningxiang immediately lowered her head, fiddling with the corner of her clothes, and said in a small voice, "Master, I’m just too dull."

Li Yifei looked at Jiang Ningxiang, smiled and said, "It’s not that you’re dull, Innate Vital Energy is a very mysterious thing. There aren’t many people in this world who possess it, and because there are so few, there’s even less experience with it. It’s possible that each type of Innate Vital Energy requires a different method of training."

Xu Shanshan shrugged helplessly and said, "I suspect that’s the case too. Otherwise, why can I train so easily, but Ningxiang can’t manage to do it at all?"

Jiang Ningxiang raised her head, looking hopeful, and asked, "So it really isn’t because I’m too dumb?"

Li Yifei laughed, "Of course not. Let’s study it carefully then."

Jiang Ningxiang nodded again and again, "Thank you, Brother Li."

Xu Shanshan smiled and said, "Let’s go over to my place then. It’s not convenient here."

It was not yet six o’clock, and there was still at least an hour left, so there was time to study this thoroughly.

Just as the three of them were walking out, they saw Meng Xiaofei. She was up at such an early hour, which was quite surprising to everyone.

Meng Xiaofei was heading into the woods and hadn’t noticed them.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan exchanged glances and then quietly followed her. When things were abnormal, there was bound to be some mischief. Something must be up with Meng Xiaofei, while Jiang Ningxiang obediently stayed put.

In the woods, Meng Xiaofei stopped, looked around as if she were a thief, and after making sure no one was around, she took a banana out of her pocket.

Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan, as experts, naturally wouldn’t let Meng Xiaofei notice them. But seeing her take out a banana, both of them were puzzled. What exactly was Meng Xiaofei up to? Surely one wouldn’t be sneaky just to eat a banana.

Then Xu Shanshan smirked mischievously at Li Yifei, winking at him while pointing at the banana in Meng Xiaofei’s hand and then at the area between her own legs.

Li Yifei instantly sweated, thinking that it was downright impossible. No matter what, Meng Xiaofei wouldn’t engage in such activity, right? If she really wanted to, she could totally come to him—was he not even comparable to a banana?
