Chapter 455: Chapter 462 Brushing Past Each Other

"This Joseph is really fucking ruthless, blowing up his own people!" Zhou Qiang cursed as he got up. However, he didn’t show a hint of panic. Such danger was a trifle to them. Having skirted the edge of life and death for too long, even the most perilous situations had left them numb.

Zheng Mingrui snorted and said, "Boss, I’ve really embarrassed myself, almost got the brothers killed."

Li Yifei gave a slight smile and said, "But in the end, didn’t you realize what was going on?"

Zheng Mingrui shook his head and said, "If you hadn’t given me that last look, I wouldn’t have thought of it. On my own turf, I got a bit careless. Next time, I must be more vigilant so as not to endanger the brothers because of my momentary negligence."

Li Yifei just patted Zheng Mingrui on the shoulder and said no more. Zheng Mingrui had always lived in his shadow, and now he was charging ahead, especially with him present, he couldn’t help but feel restrained. It wasn’t that Zheng Mingrui lacked capability, so Li Yifei didn’t need to say much more. He believed that Zheng Mingrui would be able to grow quickly.

Li Yifei had come this time to take out Joseph’s base in Huaxia as a warning. If Joseph dared to come again, he would show no mercy. But now it seemed that such methods were of no use. Joseph had deliberately set this trap, and from now on, it would be a fight to the death between the two.

The sound of fire engines and police cars got closer, and the group quickly left the scene, not bothering to stick around for the aftermath.

Joseph was a sly fox of a man. As the leader of a terrorist organization, he was very smart. Having failed once, he had no intention of targeting Li Yifei again soon. After all, attacking someone like Li Yifei twice in quick succession without success would be suicidal.

So, Joseph immediately left Mile City, left Huaxia. Now that he was exposed, his presence in Huaxia was extremely dangerous. Though he held a grudge against Li Yifei, revenge was not something to be rushed.

Moreover, he had deliberately left a loose end, exposing his branch in Huaxia. He believed Li Yifei would definitely come knocking. If he could have killed Li Yifei with the explosion, that would have been great. But even if the attempt failed, he could make Li Yifei understand that Joseph would not give up so easily.

Back at his headquarters, his subordinates quickly brought him a message in haste. Their organization’s branch in Huaxia had been discovered; except for a few who were not present at the time, all others were killed.

Joseph already knew this news but had not disclosed it to others. He didn’t want them to know that he had set up the situation, sacrificing his men’s lives for it. If he had succeeded in killing Li Yifei, the Golden Eagle, he would have announced it. However, since the news indicated that Li Yifei was unharmed, there was no benefit in publicizing the incident.

Upon hearing this news, the high-ranking members reporting to Joseph all frowned. Ramos, known as Blood Wolf, slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "Holy one, these Huaxia people are despicable. They’ve caused our organization significant losses. Our first holy one was also killed by Huaxia’s Golden Eagle. I want to kill that Golden Eagle myself."

Another nicknamed Blood Fox, Daru, spoke indifferently, "These were our people, who had been embedded in Huaxia for a long time, costing us so much effort. It’s a real shame to have them undone by Huaxia. But our organization is short on talent right now. We should not engage in large-scale terrorist activities. I suggest we bide our time."

Ramos, impetuous and the most combative member of the organization, immediately glared and retorted, "Daru, our prestige has plummeted since the ascension of our previous holy one. If we don’t make a significant move now, our organization will only lose more of its standing."

With his long fingers tapping on the table, Blood Fox Daru said, "Are you questioning the ability of our holy one?"

Ramos was startled and hurriedly said to Joseph, "Holy one, I didn’t mean that. But I hope you give me a chance. I want to fight the Golden Eagle from Huaxia. I will certainly kill him on the spot."

Joseph shook his head and said, "Blood Wolf, I recognize that I am powerful. This time I met the Golden Eagle, and his strength is indeed formidable. Even with four holy envoys, he killed one on the spot. Do you think you could single-handedly take on four holy envoys?"

The Blood Wolf laughed and said, "Holy one, of course I would not have been able to in the past, but recently my power has surged. The four holy envoys are no match for me."

Joseph’s eyes brightened and he said, "This is a big deal. If you really have such strength, then you may indeed have the power to battle the Golden Eagle."

"If the holy one does not believe me," Ramos laughed arrogantly, "then feel free to let the holy envoys test me."

Joseph shook his head again and said, "No, even if you have the ability, you can’t go yet. You won’t have the chance to face off with the Golden Eagle alone. The moment you appear, Huaxia’s police will be alerted. Finding the Golden Eagle will require another opportunity."

"Holy one, do you not believe in my ability?" Blood Wolf Ramos clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bulging like bull’s eyes.

"It’s not that I don’t believe you, but this matter you must obey the organization’s arrangements."

Blood Wolf clenched his jaw tightly and took a deep breath before saying, "Holy one, then I’ll go back first."

"Go ahead, take some time to cool down. Being impulsive is not conducive to handling matters well."

As Blood Wolf Ramos left, Blood Fox Daru said, "Holy one, Ramos is still too impulsive. I’m afraid he won’t listen to you and will go off on his own."

Joseph sipped on a glass of red wine, showing not the slightest hint of impatience on his face. With a faint smile, he said, "It’s nothing, just have someone keep an eye on him for now. For the time being, we still need to press him. His abilities are there, especially with his recent progress in martial arts. I’m afraid he holds me in even lower regard now. If he insists on going, there’s no need to stop him. Let him suffer a setback at the hands of Golden Eagle, and he’ll behave."

"I’m just afraid that once he’s in Huaxia, his life will be in danger," said Blood Fox Daru with a face full of worry.

"A person like Blood Wolf must either recognize his own limitations and not be so impulsive, or... I’d rather forsake him." This ice-cold statement, filled with a deep chill, revealed the heart of a leader. Joseph was even more outstanding than his brother, and his ruthlessness was the most important attribute.

Li Yifei rounded up a few comrades-in-arms. Aside from dealing with this Joseph, he also had his comrades carry out several other tasks, all highly secretive and known only to the parties involved.

After all this, Li Yifei returned to Mile City. He had been away for nearly ten days, cutting off all contact with everyone back home. Once again standing on Mile City’s soil, he truly felt a wave of warmth wash over him.

However, standing at the airport’s entrance, Li Yifei hesitated, not knowing where to go.

For the moment, the issues had been resolved, and those around him should be safe from danger because of him. But this was only temporary. Unless he completely eliminated these key enemies, he would never be able to lead a normal life. Being with anyone would put her in great danger.

But by now, he was already very close to some people. If his enemies were truly bent on revenge, they would probably understand these relationships by now. Even if he stayed away from Xu Yingying and the others, the enemies would likely come after them anyway. Hence, even avoiding Xu Yingying and the others would be useless for Li Yifei now.

What made Li Yifei hesitate now was that he still didn’t know what Xu Yingying’s thoughts were. Additionally, he hadn’t dealt with Ning Xin’er yet. After all, the child was his own. And what about Ye Yunzhu? She already had his child, could he really remain indifferent?

Combining all these issues, Li Yifei simply didn’t know where he should go.

"Brother Li!" A joyous exclamation came as Meng Xiaofei, dragging her luggage, ran toward him like the wind, dressed in a stewardess uniform with black high-heeled shoes. Particularly eye-catching was her full bosom, which trembled up and down with her rush.

"Don’t run, be careful not to fall," Li Yifei hurriedly shouted.

But it was already too late. Meng Xiaofei stumbled, let out a cry of alarm, and fell to the side. Li Yifei quickly dashed forward, his arm stretching out to catch Meng Xiaofei in his embrace.

Meng Xiaofei instinctively clung to Li Yifei, tightly shut her eyes, and after a while, she exclaimed in surprise, "Why doesn’t it hurt?"

Meng Xiaofei’s words amused Li Yifei, who helped her up and said, "Didn’t I tell you to be careful?"

Meng Xiaofei stood up, stuck out her tongue at Li Yifei, and said, "I was just too excited to see you."

"Excited to the point of falling over?" Li Yifei’s face was full of smiles. Seeing Meng Xiaofei had lightened his heart in a way he couldn’t describe.

"Of course, it’s worth it. Now that you’re back, I can freeload off your cooking again. Also... these last few days have been killing me. Seeing Sister Yingying and Sister Shanshan anxious when they talked about you, I was so worried but couldn’t say anything. It felt terrible."

Li Yifei could well imagine how difficult this situation must have been for Meng Xiaofei. He laughed and said, "Alright, now that I’m back, you no longer have to feel so distressed."

"Too bad the timing isn’t good. I have a flight to attend to today, so I can only come back to enjoy a meal made by Brother Li. Oh my, it’s getting late, if I don’t go in now, I’ll be late." Saying this, Meng Xiaofei waved hurriedly at Li Yifei, then rushed toward the airport with her luggage.

"Hey, hey, slow down!" Li Yifei called out.

Meng Xiaofei turned her head, stuck out her tongue at Li Yifei again, and then changed from running to walking quickly as she headed inside.

Just reaching the airport entrance, Li Yifei unexpectedly saw Xu Yingying, which surprised him greatly. Seeing Xu Yingying stirred an indescribable excitement in his heart, for she was his wife, the closest person to him, no matter what.

But he managed to maintain a calm expression. He was still unsure of Xu Yingying’s attitude.

Xu Yingying was there to see off an important client that day. Just as she sent the client inside and was ready to head back to the company, she spotted Li Yifei at the airport entrance. Overjoyed at the sight, she wanted to rush into Li Yifei’s arms, but with a glance, she saw two men beside him, both dressed in black suits, seemingly not-so-simple characters.

This made Xu Yingying’s heart sink, and she immediately remembered what Su Mengxin had told her before she left. Li Yifei was currently engaged in a special mission that required absolute secrecy, and she shouldn’t interfere. So although she yearned for Li Yifei, she had to restrain herself and, without sparing him a glance, walked past him as if he were a stranger.

Watching Xu Yingying act so indifferently, Li Yifei’s heart abruptly chilled. He opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound, simply watching as Xu Yingying walked away.
