Chapter 135: Chapter 135 This Bastard Did It on Purpose

"Alright, I’m leaving." Li Yifei patted Chu Xiaoyao’s hand, and as the problem was solved, he was eager to leave the place with Xu Shanshan.

"Mr. Li, take care." Brother Hu immediately stepped aside, showing utmost respect to Li Yifei.

"Uncle, I’m going with you." At this moment, Chu Xiaoyao was not just grabbing Li Yifei’s arm, but tightly hugging it.

Li Yifei frowned and said, "Aren’t you going to stay and play with your classmates?"

"No more playing, I want to go home with you, I’ll be your mistress," Chu Xiaoyao said with pride, even casting a defiant glance at her classmates, as if becoming Li Yifei’s mistress was a matter of immense honor.

Li Yifei also glanced at those classmates, the male students looked displeased, but the female students actually showed looks of envy, which left Li Yifei speechless. It seemed girls these days all thought this way; the world was going mad.

Li Yifei glared and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn’t you see I brought my girlfriend? Do you want to get me killed or something?"

"It’s fine, it’s fine, she can be your wife, I’ll just be the mistress," Chu Xiaoyao said quickly, then turned to Xu Shanshan with a placating tone, "Sister, I won’t interfere with you two, I’ll just be the mistress. Men are always unfaithful, even if at home there’s a wife pretty as a flower, they still seek affairs. So I’ll help you keep an eye on him, it’ll definitely benefit you. You can’t handle it alone, I’ll lend a hand when the time comes."

At this moment, everyone in the bar felt as if thunder was rolling above their heads, even Brother Hu had a face full of black lines; this girl was beyond belief, actively asking to be a mistress and even approaching the man’s girlfriend. Such behavior was a bit too much for even him—someone accustomed to the underworld life.

Li Yifei was defeated and just as he thought about throwing Chu Xiaoyao aside and running out, several police officers suddenly burst in through the door, and one of them was Lin Qiong, giving him a whole new level of headache. Seeing this scene, Lin Qiong would probably look down on him even more.

"What happened here?" Lin Qiong walked in, quickly deducing that a fight had taken place and asked sternly. Her gaze then fell on Brother Hu, causing her brows to furrow even more. After becoming the Deputy Director, she knew Brother Hu was the biggest underworld boss around, yet she felt powerless to touch him and was holding back her frustration.

However, seeing that Brother Hu was not displaying his usual arrogance but instead was careful and cautious—even unconcerned about the police arrival—she turned her surprised gaze towards another person, curious to see who was worthy of such treatment from Brother Hu.

But, to her astonishment, that person turned out to be that bastard Li Yifei.

How come this guy is here, and why is Brother Hu behaving like this towards him?

Did I recognize the wrong person? Lin Qiong’s first thought was this, but then she immediately felt it was not right; Brother Hu was a known figure, and if he wasn’t well-acquainted with someone, he certainly wouldn’t be so cautious. Could it be that Li Yifei was actually a real underworld boss, even more terrifying than Brother Hu?

The idea made Lin Qiong’s heart pound; Li Yifei was indeed a master of disguise.

In the past few days, Lin Qiong had encountered Li Yifei twice; once she regarded him as a conman who specialized in deceiving women out of their money, and now, she saw him as a deeply concealed criminal mastermind. And not so long ago, she even labelled him as worthless, convinced that any good deeds he did were solely to veil his true nature.

Lin Qiong might not even realize herself why she held such a deep prejudice against Li Yifei. For a cop, evidence should be the top priority, yet when it came to Li Yifei, she always had a preconceived notion and only considered evidence last.

"Officer Lin, what brings you here?" Li Yifei greeted her cheerfully.

Lin Qiong kept a stern face and said, "What exactly happened here?"

The bar owner hurried over, saying, "Nothing, nothing, there was a small disagreement just now, it’s all settled now."

"Then who called the police?" Lin Qiong looked around at everyone.

Xu Shanshan stepped forward and said, "Officer Lin, we meet again. You really are a good cop, arriving so fast. I was the one who called the police. I thought there might be trouble, but it turned out to be nothing more than kids fighting."

"Kids fighting?" Lin Qiong took another look around; several teenagers, all disheveled with a couple sporting a bruised nose and swollen faces, and about seven or eight thugs appeared to have been involved in a fight. She roughly guessed what had happened.

Such conflict didn’t cause any issues, and the police were too lazy to care. However, seeing Brother Hu and Li Yifei both here still made Lin Qiong feel somewhat puzzled. What were these two doing here?

"Director Lin, this has nothing to do with us. We’ll be leaving now." Despite not taking Lin Qiong, the newly appointed junior Deputy Director, seriously, Brother Hu still maintained a very polite demeanor on the surface to save face.

Lin Qiong really wanted to detain Brother Hu but couldn’t find a valid reason, plus she did not want to startle the snake. If she was really going to take down Brother Hu, she had to gather enough evidence to deliver a fatal blow without giving him any chance to fight back.

So at that moment, she just nodded at Brother Hu, allowing him and his two bodyguards to leave.

Li Yifei also smiled at Lin Qiong and said, "Officer Lin, we’ll be heading off too."

Lin Qiong frowned slightly. She wanted to detain Li Yifei as well to have a good talk, but ultimately, she held back and watched with controlled frustration as Li Yifei walked past her, his arm linked by Xu Shanshan. As they passed by Lin Qiong, Shanshan said with a smile, "Officer Xu, let’s chat another time when you’re free."

Chu Xiaoyao also wanted to leave with Li Yifei, but suddenly Li Yifei said to Lin Qiong, "Officer Lin, this little girl was involved just now. You can’t let her go."

Lin Qiong rolled her eyes. Clearly, Li Yifei was using her as a shield again. However, she really couldn’t ignore it and sternly told Chu Xiaoyao, "You can’t leave."

Chu Xiaoyao hurriedly cried out in panic, "Uncle, you can’t just abandon me. I’m your mistress!"

But Li Yifei had already left with Xu Shanshan, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone without a trace, infuriating Chu Xiaoyao who stomped her feet in anger.

Lin Qiong was sweating over this. Li Yifei really was a bastard, not sparing even such a young girl, and this silly girl actually admitted to being Li Yifei’s mistress, which was truly too shameless.

"Behave and repeat what just happened to me." Lin Qiong firmly controlled Chu Xiaoyao and began to inquire about what had just occurred.

Chu Xiaoyao was a sharp-tongued girl and recounted the recent events. Lin Qiong didn’t take these matters seriously, knowing this was truly a minor incident. The most important factor was that none of the students had been hurt. If the parents of the students didn’t pursue it any further, the case would close just like that.

But upon hearing those thugs had beaten up people and then tried to take Chu Xiaoyao away, Lin Qiong’s brow furrowed. This was a significant issue, she said, "And then?"

Chu Xiaoyao giggled, "Hehe, I knew my uncle was here, what was there to be afraid of? I just called out for him, then he came over and knocked down those thugs. My uncle is so cool, just with a few punches and kicks he laid them all down."

Surprised by Chu Xiaoyao’s words, Lin Qiong recalled her own altercation with Li Yifei when they mistook him for a thief and tussled for quite some time, ending in a stalemate without either side overpowering the other. She was well aware of her own strength; against such thugs, she could handle one, maybe struggle with two, but taking on seven or eight and also bringing them down was simply impossible.

"Are you sure Li Yifei took them all down by himself?" Lin Qiong stared at Chu Xiaoyao.

"Of course, so many people saw it, if you don’t believe me, ask them."

Lin Qiong immediately asked a few more people, including two of the thugs, and the answers were surprisingly consistent. They all confirmed that Li Yifei alone had knocked them down, and he did so very cleanly.

"This guy is that formidable?" Lin Qiong felt a sudden sense of foreboding in her heart, realizing Li Yifei had been hiding a lot from her, at least his martial arts skills, which had certainly deceived her—especially considering that during their encounter when she caught Li Yifei, he had struggled and embraced her, taking advantage of her. Initially, she hadn’t minded, given that she had apprehended the wrong person, but now, knowing he was so formidable, he could have easily subdued her without such effort.

It seemed there were only two reasons for Li Yifei to do as he did. First, the man didn’t want to expose his capabilities and therefore deliberately concealed them at the time, indicating that he might have a deeper background, possibly even a greater Underworld boss than Brother Hu; second, he was intentionally pretending to be weak, simply to take advantage of her.

The thought of the second reason made Lin Qiong’s skin crawl as if ants were marching over her body, making her feel incredibly uncomfortable.

"This bastard daring to deceive me, I’ll see how I deal with you." Lin Qiong vehemently cursed Li Yifei in her heart. Regardless of which guess was right, Li Yifei was clearly no good. Her impression of him sank even further, and she resolved to expose his true face and eventually bring him to justice.
