Chapter 411: Chapter 418 Big Brother

Seeing so many people outside, Su Yiyi’s legs turned to jelly, and she almost collapsed onto the ground, her face instantly paling as she gripped Li Yifei’s arm tightly. In panic, she said, "Brother Li, what are we going to do?"

Li Yifei patted Su Yiyi’s hand and said, "It’s okay, with Brother Li here."

As Su Yiyi met Li Yifei’s gaze, she felt as if she had taken a tranquilizer, but the sight of those dozen fearsome people still sent her heart into a flutter.

"Old Wu, you’ve really outdone yourself this time, just one kid has beaten you to this state," a man followed behind the group, taunting Wu Baolai.

Wu Baolai gave a dry laugh and said, "Brother Li, this kid is quite the fighter; otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to call you over. You have to take revenge for me this time."

"No problem, I want to see which kid is so blind as to hit my brother."

Now bolstered by his backup, Wu Baolai was exceptionally bold. Pointing at Li Yifei, he roared, "You little bastard, come out and kowtow to admit your wrongs right away, and I might consider letting you live. Otherwise, I’ll skin you alive today."

At that moment, Li Yifei let go of Su Yiyi and stepped out from behind the door curtain.

Due to the poor lighting in the house, it was very dark inside, so the people outside couldn’t see what Li Yifei looked like when he was in the room. Now that Li Yifei had come out, everyone could see clearly.

Wu Baolai was even more arrogant, saying, "Damn, you actually have the guts to show up. Good, hurry up and kowtow to admit your mistake, and let me take Su Yiyi away, and I’ll spare your life."

His words had hardly hit the floor when Li Yifei, initially at the doorway, had already swiftly moved right in front of him. Reaching out, he grabbed Wu Baolai’s neck and lifted him off the ground with one arm.

With his neck being squeezed, Wu Baolai couldn’t catch his breath, his face quickly turning purple from the strain, his hands desperately pulling at Li Yifei’s wrist and his legs kicking wildly. Yet Li Yifei’s grip was like a tiger vise, no matter how much Wu Baolai struggled, he couldn’t break free.

Wu Baolai had never thought about what death was like, but at this moment, the word "death" suddenly came to mind. The fear was indescribable, especially since his brain wasn’t completely muddled, but he couldn’t suck in any air into his chest, making him realize how vital air was to him.

"Damn it! Stop!" Wu Baolai’s men, who had come with him, were now in an uproar as they saw Wu Baolai being choked in front of them by Li Yifei. This was a direct slap in their faces, utterly disregarding their presence.

Although they were noisy, none of them moved forward. Even the dullest among them could see that it took tremendous strength for Li Yifei to lift a man with one hand. This was a sign of a ruthless man, apparently one willing to risk life itself. They were simply thugs and had never intended to stake their lives against someone.

But Li Yifei, at that moment, raised his hand and flung Wu Baolai to the ground with great force, like throwing a sack of potatoes. Wu Baolai’s body landed on its side with a thud, dust billowing up high from the ground.

However, Wu Baolai couldn’t care less about that now; as his neck was released, he started to breathe deeply, greedily replenishing the oxygen in his body. Life was more important than pain.

Sun Li was the leader of this bunch, relatively well-known in the area as a thug and a figure in the criminal world. He had some connections with Wu Baolai and had come to show his support after being called upon by Wu Baolai. In his view, dealing with one kid with so many people was a walk in the park, and he saw an opportunity to gain some benefits, so he came without even asking who the trouble was with.

But when Sun Li saw Li Yifei, his calves nearly seized up in fear, never expecting to face Li Yifei, the person he feared the most. And seeing Old Su, Su Yiyi’s father, behind him, he inwardly lamented. Had he known this was Old Su’s home, he wouldn’t have come looking for trouble even if it killed him.

He had been hanging back, and when Li Yifei lifted Wu Baolai, he became even more terrified, quickly lowering his head, fearing that Li Yifei might see him, and began to slowly move backward, ready to make a run for it.

"Stop right there!"

At the shout, Sun Li was like a statue, the foot he had lifted refusing to come back down; he just stood there, one foot in the air, slowly turning around. Upon facing Li Yifei, his face was plastered with a smile, as he stuttered, "Bi... Brother... I had no idea you were here, otherwise, I would never have dared come."

All the thugs were dumbfounded. Sun Li actually called Li Yifei "Brother"—and it was not only the address but his attitude and expression that clearly showed his fear. Who was this young man, to command such respect and fear?

Li Yifei said coldly, "So, you mean to say if I weren’t here, you could just bring people over?"

"No, no!" Sun Li immediately raised his hand and slapped himself twice, the sound so crisp it was obvious he wasn’t faking it—it really hurt.

Li Yifei snorted and said, "You know what to do now, right?"

"Yes! I know!" Sun Li quickly nodded, then swung his hand and ordered, "Drag this Wu Baolai out for me."

The underlings reacted quickly at this point, swarming over to lift Wu Baolai, some by the arms, some by the legs, and hauled him out.

Wu Baolai had just caught his breath and realized he was being lifted by the people Brother Lii had brought. He immediately shouted, "Brother Lii, what are you doing? You have to stand up for me."

"Stand up for your ass!" Brother Lii cursed loudly, stormed over, and slapped Wu Baolai twice hard across the face, sending a tooth flying out. He thought to himself, if it weren’t for this bastard, would I have offended someone even Brother Hu wouldn’t dare to provoke?

"Brother Lii... Brother Lii!" Wu Baolai still didn’t understand what was going on and cried out in panic.

But he was already dragged out by Brother Lii’s men.

Brother Lii approached Li Yifei, trembling. Now that Li Yifei had seen everything, he had no choice but to settle this matter. Otherwise, if this ruthless man were to trouble him again, he would be in big trouble. "Brother, I will definitely take good care of Wu Baolai and make sure you’re satisfied," he said.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Don’t take his life, and give him another twenty thousand yuan. I’ll reimburse you later."

"No need, no need, this little amount of money is nothing. Consider it a token of respect for not knowing you were coming, Brother," Brother Lii said.

Li Yifei didn’t bother with pleasantries. Dealing with someone like Brother Lii, there was no need for courtesy. He turned to look at Su Yiyi’s father, who was beaming with joy, frowned slightly, and said to Brother Lii, "Do another thing for me."

"Sure, Brother, whatever you say."

"If anyone gambles with him again, break their hands," Li Yifei said coldly.

Brother Lii glanced at Su Yiyi’s father and nodded repeatedly, "I will make sure no one ever gambles with him again."

Inwardly, Brother Lii muttered to himself, thinking how ruthless Li Yifei was. The main problem with gambling lay with Old Su himself not having any self-control, yet now the responsibility was being pushed onto others. Whoever dared to gamble with Old Su now was really unlucky.

"Then let’s go. Come have a drink with me in the city sometime," Li Yifei said, waving his hand.

"Thank you, Brother!" Brother Lii nodded repeatedly and then respectfully backed out. The underlings quickly followed out, their minds filled with respect for Li Yifei. This was what a true boss looked like; a display of sheer dominance.

The courtyard became silent in an instant. Li Yifei turned and entered the living room, looking at Su Yiyi’s father, and said, "You heard what I said, right?"

"I heard, I heard!" Su Yiyi’s father wiped the sweat from his brow, but he was well aware that while Li Yifei’s warning seemed to target those who gambled with him, it was actually a warning to himself. If he were to gamble outside, his son-in-law would probably take action against him.

Li Yifei handed over two thousand yuan to Su Yiyi’s father and said, "This money is for you to get by for the time being, but you also need to earn your own living. I can take care of Yiyi, but that doesn’t mean I have to support you, especially at your age."

Yiyi’s father carefully took the money, saying, "Yes, yes, I will support myself. I will find a job right away."

Li Yifei nodded, took Su Yiyi’s hand, and said, "Yiyi, if there’s nothing else, let’s go."

Su Yiyi nodded, then looked back at her father, bit her lip, and said, "You better not disappoint me again. If you do... then I’ll stop worrying about you."

"I won’t, I’ll be good," Su Yiyi’s father assured them as he walked them to the gate, softly saying, "My daughter, take care."

Yiyi turned her head, looking somewhat dazed at her father. It had been seemingly ages since he had shown this level of concern. The last time he cared this much was four or five years ago, which instantly made her eyes redden. No matter what, he was still her father. If he could truly change for the better, then Su Yiyi would be genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.

"As long as you’re good and stay away from gambling, I will certainly come back to see you," Su Yiyi said, her eyes reddening as she turned to leave. She didn’t want her father to see her moved to tears at this moment.

Li Yifei nodded at Su Yiyi’s father and followed Su Yiyi towards the car.

In reality, he had noticed that Su Yiyi’s father was saying all this just to please him. To call him beyond help might be a bit harsh, but indeed, he was only thinking of himself. He didn’t bother exposing him simply to avoid hurting Su Yiyi’s feelings.
