Chapter 499: Chapter 509 The Shrew Seeks Help

After playing on the beach for half the day, they caught the tide going out, so Li Yifei led a few people to do some tide pooling again. This thrilled Little Yifei to no end. Before, Ning Xin’er and Li Qiang, the couple, were tasked with looking after her, and they were afraid of letting her get even a scratch, so they didn’t dare to let her do anything that was the slightest bit dangerous. They were so worried that even a minor scrape could upset Ning Xin’er that they never dared to bring her to the beach, let alone go tide pooling.

Little Yifei was having an absolute blast, quickly getting covered in mud, and Li Yifei didn’t stop her. Xu Yingying initially wanted to remind the little girl to be clean, but Li Yifei said that a child playing in the mud was a way of getting close to nature and wasn’t a bad thing. Xu Yingying reconsidered and let Little Yifei be.

Everyone was a bit tired, and Li Yifei and his group did not plan to return home that evening. By this time, there were fewer and fewer people on the beach. Before coming, Li Yifei had brought a big tent that could sleep six or seven people. Now with only five of them, they were sure to sleep comfortably.

As they were setting up the tent, a group of people suddenly ran over. Li Yifei recognized the shrew from that morning among them. Clearly, they had come to snatch the video.

Xu Yingying and the others also saw these people, and Xu Yingying immediately became a bit flustered. However, Xu Shanshan and Chu Xiaoyao’s eyes gleamed, each gripping Li Yifei’s arm, one on each side. Xu Shanshan excitedly called out, "Brother-in-law, we’ve got troublemakers here!"

Chu Xiaoyao didn’t want to be outdone and said, "Uncle, let me enjoy the show this time."

Xu Yingying suddenly had a face full of exasperation. It was one thing for the younger Chu Xiaoyao to be so reckless, but Xu Shanshan was roughly the same age and still behaved so immaturely.

"Yifei, should I call the police, or contact some people from above?" Xu Yingying was different from before. She often met with the mayor and the Municipal Party Secretary, and these two top officials in the city were quite friendly towards her. Although it was because of Su Mengxin, a call from Xu Yingying would definitely not be ignored.

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "Calling now would just let them off too easily. Let them make a scene, the bigger the uproar, the harsher the handling."

"You mean..." Xu Yingying asked, surprised as she looked at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei nodded firmly and stated, "Such scum, I won’t give them a chance to turn over a new leaf or to lord over others again. If they dare to touch my daughter or my family, I will not let them go."

Xu Yingying suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. When choosing a man, the most important thing was whether he could give her a sense of security. Li Yifei was now giving her a strong sense of safety, as if no matter how dangerous a situation was, as long as Li Yifei was there, nothing would happen to her.

Chu Xiaoyao looked at Li Yifei with eyes full of stars. This kind of uncle was definitely her favorite type. Her affection for Li Yifei had started because of his strength, and now the more she looked, the more she adored him, wishing she could throw herself into his arms and cuddle with him right away.

Xu Shanshan’s eyes sparkled with brilliant colors, and although her reaction wasn’t as obvious as Chu Xiaoyao’s, she didn’t try to hide her fondness for Li Yifei.

"Alright, you three go inside the tent. I’ll deal with them," Li Yifei said, smiling at the three women.

Xu Yingying nodded, carrying Little Yifei into the tent. The young girl hadn’t paid any attention to the people who had come over, as the tent had captured her great interest, and she had been eager to go in.

Chu Xiaoyao and Xu Shanshan, however, were reluctant to go in, as opportunities to stand by Li Yifei’s side in the face of so many people were rare. They didn’t want to miss any exciting moment.

Li Yifei did not refuse them. To him, these people seemed fierce, but in his eyes, they were nothing but chickens and dogs, not in the least bit threatening. And if he couldn’t protect Chu Xiaoyao and Xu Shanshan by his side, he would not be worthy of being the strongest in the Flying Hawk Squad.

There were more than twenty people in the group. Aside from Wang Yajuan, most of the others were young people in their twenties or thirties. There were only two older men, both unlikely to be over forty, who immediately surrounded Li Yifei upon arrival.

"Brother Li, it’s him," Wang Yajuan pointed at Li Yifei and said to a middle-aged man near her.

The middle-aged man nodded, approached Li Yifei with a grave face, and said, "Young man, hand over the video."

Li Yifei narrowed his eyes. The middle-aged man was blunt and imperious, demanding the video directly, and did not give Li Yifei room to refuse, yet his demeanor was not as fierce as that of the underworld; these people had to be city management officials.

"What video?" Li Yifei asked nonchalantly.

The middle-aged man glared and barked, "Don’t play dumb, young man. Hand over the video and we’ll call it even. Otherwise, don’t blame us for not being polite."

Wang Yajuan immediately shouted, "Brother Li, why talk to him? Beat him up and take it by force. If anything happens, my dad will handle it. Just treat them as if they were street vendors."

Li Yifei feigned surprise and exclaimed, "Treating us as street vendors, you must all be city management, right? Oh, I get it now. This woman’s father is the deputy head of the city management team, and all of you are city management."

The middle-aged man’s brow furrowed in annoyance. His name was Li Dongfang, and he was indeed a city management enforcer, and moreover a division-level cadre. With the deputy squad leader having had an incident, it now fell to him to deal with the situation. This was a sign of trust, and naturally, he couldn’t shirk the responsibility, but he still harbored some reservations regarding issues like this. That’s why he came in plain clothes; he didn’t want others to know they were from the city management squad. Yet, Wang Yajuan, this woman, outright revealed their identities, and now, even if he wanted to keep it a secret, it was impossible.

"What a nincompoop," Li Dongfang cursed inwardly. He was really annoyed with this woman, but since she had a powerful father, who also happened to be his direct supervisor, he had no choice but to treat her courteously.

Turning to Li Yifei, Li Dongfang, with a stern face, said, "Since you know we’re from the city management squad, then hand it over quickly."

At this moment, Chu Xiaoyao puffed out her chest, saying, "Just hand it over because you said so? Is the city management squad that great? We’re just doing business here, no illegal constructions; do we even need you city management squad to intervene?"

Xu Shanshan chimed in, "If you want to take something from us, then call the police. As long as the police come, we’ll hand over the things."

This video in the hands of the police might not immediately bring Wang Yajuan’s father down, but it would definitely have a bad influence. If the higher-ups got wind of it, it would likely affect Wang Yajuan’s father’s chances of fighting for the position of head squad leader. Xu Shanshan saying this was indeed infuriating.

"Brother Li, what’s the matter with you? Do I need to call my dad before you start grabbing stuff? What a waste, you can’t even handle such a trivial matter efficiently."

Li Dongfang’s face twitched, really wanting to give Wang Yajuan a good slap, but of course, that was just wishful thinking, and he certainly couldn’t actually do it. Glaring at Li Yifei, he said, "I’m asking you one more time, are you giving it or not?"

"No!" Li Yifei answered very straightforwardly.

"Get him," Li Dongfang said sharply. Since the issue couldn’t be resolved amicably, they would have to resort to force.

The city management squad members were very adept at seizing vendors’ goods. At a wave of Li Dongfang’s hand, a few who were eager to show off immediately charged at Li Yifei, and it wasn’t even about seizing anything; they went straight to beating him. In their minds, seizing goods was less effective than just beating someone into submission. After that, wouldn’t they hand over whatever you wanted?

"City management is beating people up!" Li Yifei shouted, pulling Chu Xiaoyao and Xu Shanshan as he evaded the assailants, raising his voice.

And those men were not the least bit afraid of Li Yifei’s shouting; when beating people in the past, they did it in broad daylight, even in uniform. Who had they ever been afraid of? And now they were still after Li Yifei, trying to hit him.

Li Yifei continued shouting, "Stop hitting me, or I’ll have to fight back."

"Ouch, are you going to keep hitting me? I really will fight back."

After shouting several times, Li Yifei drew the attention of the people still on the beach. With such warnings, if he fought back, it would be in self-defense. Li Yifei dealing with a bunch of city management wouldn’t necessarily be problematic, but doing so justifiably would indeed put a bigger dent in Wang Yajuan’s father’s reputation.

"Uncle, uncle, I want to hit, I want to hit!" Chu Xiaoyao was the first to cry out.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile. Chu Xiaoyao was still a child at heart, and he was very comfortable with the care she provided today. Plus, he had felt her affection for him, so now he couldn’t help having a tender spot for Chu Xiaoyao. He laughed and said, "Okay, you can hit them. Swing your hand forward."

There was no one directly in front of Chu Xiaoyao, which confused her. Thinking only of Li Yifei’s instruction to hit, she aimed at a man to her right and swung her hand toward him.

At that moment, the man who had been in front of Li Yifei stumbled toward her. She quickly withdrew her fist and struck out at the man in front of her, hitting him, but on the shoulder.

"Didn’t I tell you to hit straight ahead?" Li Yifei moved Chu Xiaoyao to the side.

Chu Xiaoyao suddenly understood. She needed to strike wherever Li Yifei directed, so she could hit correctly. She eagerly said, "Let’s try again."

Li Yifei laughed, "This time if I say hit the face, punch straight out, if I say slap, then swipe with an open palm. Got it?"

Chu Xiaoyao quickly answered, "Got it, got it."

Xu Shanshan said anxiously, "Brother-in-law, I’m in too."

"Same for you, whoever I call out, that’s who throws the punch."
