Chapter 535: Chapter 547: Just Not Giving You Face

At Lin Qiong’s home, she shared the news with Li Yifei and then stared at him, saying, "Impressive, you little brat actually turn out to be some big shot from Capital City, and here you are playing the fool to catch the wise."

Li Yifei touched his nose and said, "Can I say that this identity of mine is fake?"

Lin Qiong snorted and said, "Yeah, sure, all your identities are fake. Then tell me, what is your real identity?"

Li Yifei rolled his eyes and said, "I’m the Chairman of the United Nations."

"Buzz off, not a single word is serious. But since you’re supposedly some Young Master from Capital City, doesn’t that mean you’re very wealthy? You bastard, last time when I went to investigate a smuggling case, you didn’t give me a dime and even told me to go scam money from my parents. You’re utterly despicable."

Li Yifei coughed lightly and said, "I really didn’t have any money on me at the time."

"I don’t care, I’m your woman now, and you should at least give me a few million for my spending."

"Get lost, millions, do you think I’m an ATM? Besides, you’re now the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, how can you be short of money?"

"Nonsense, how much is my salary anyway? I’m not corrupt or taking anything I shouldn’t, where would I get extra money? Come on, give me some living expenses."

As she spoke, Lin Qiong tackled Li Yifei onto the couch, and he chuckled, "Hey little miss, can’t you be a bit subtler? You’re really acting like a mistress here."

"Get lost, I won’t be your mistress. If I were to do it, I’d be your wife. Divorce your wife and then marry me."

"No way!" Li Yifei slapped Lin Qiong’s butt in annoyance.

"Hmph, then you’re just taking advantage of me for nothing. I’ve been with you, and now you just want to dump me and deny everything."

"Every time it’s you forcing me, okay? I’m already being nice not asking you for living expenses."

The two bantered for a while, and after Lin Qiong had her way with Li Yifei again, she put on her clothes and then spoke seriously, "What are you planning to do about this matter?"

Li Yifei lit a cigarette and said, "It’s simple, I must deal with Lin Sihao. Just locking him up for a few years would let him off too easy. Otherwise, he will only end up worse. Anyone who wants to mess with my family, I definitely won’t let them off lightly."

"That’s pretty domineering. I like it. Alright then, no matter who comes to plead, I’m not releasing him."

"Right, but if the Lin family wants to meet me, then let them come see me."

"I really want to see what it’s like when you, this Young Master from Capital City, negotiate with those guys. The world is truly crazy. I just randomly picked a man, and he turned out to be Mr. Tall, Rich and Handsome."

Li Yifei burst into laughter and said, "So is that your good luck or mine?"

"Of course it’s your good luck. Don’t you know how hard it is to find a virgin these days? You’ve definitely scored big time."

Li Yifei actually quite liked Lin Qiong’s personality. As her rank increased, her way of speaking became more direct and bold, yet her sense of righteousness never diminished. Although she always talked about marrying her, she never really clung to Li Yifei. She only called for him when there was an issue, taking the opportunity to get close to him. So when Li Yifei was with her, he never felt any pressure.

"By the way, how have you and Michelle been lately?" As they were both about to leave, Lin Qiong turned to ask Li Yifei.

"Same as before, colleagues and good friends."

"You, you, I’ll remind you once again, don’t you dare mess with Michelle. Now you’ve got a wife, and there’s Chu Xiaoyao, and then there’s Su Yiyi, geez, and Ye Yunzhu too. You already have your hands full. If you go stirring up trouble with Michelle, I’ll castrate you."

Li Yifei, exasperated, said, "I won’t, I’m well aware of how messed up my current situation is. Getting involved with Michelle now would just be harming her."

"I’m just worried that girl’s too naïve. Don’t let her gentle exterior fool you; she can be incredibly stubborn. Once she’s fixed on something, not even eight bulls can pull her back."

Although Lin Qiong’s assessment of Michelle might have been a bit exaggerated, Li Yifei knew very well that Michelle was indeed a very determined girl. Although she didn’t behave in any special way towards him now, every time she saw him, her adoring gaze almost melted him.

That very night, Li Yifei met with Lin Zhengyong, Lin Sihao’s father.

The two sat in a teahouse, accompanied by Ning Changzheng and Lin Qiong, the mediators, and Ye Yunzhu sat beside Li Yifei.

Lin Zhengyong kept watching Li Yifei, having learned from Ning Changzheng that Yifei was actually Su Mengxin’s cousin, which had given the Lin family an enormous headache. Therefore, he now dropped his arrogant demeanor and looked at Yifei with a calm expression.

"Young Master Li, on behalf of my son Sihao, I offer you an apology. Young people can be impulsive in their actions, and he has already been detained for a few days, which has served as a lesson. Might you consider letting him off the hook?"

Lin Zhengyong’s attitude was already very humble.

Li Yifei leisurely sipped his tea and looked at Lin Zhengyong, saying, "I only want to ask Mr. Lin, if I were not Young Master Li, just an ordinary person, what would you have done then?"

Lin Zhengyong’s breath hitched—if Yifei were just an ordinary person, they would certainly have forced him to agree and would have given him a hard time.

Yifei said indifferently, "I think if I were just an ordinary person, then your Lin family would definitely not let me off, nor would you be sitting here talking with me like this, right?"

Lin Zhengyong took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Li, indeed, it is our Sihao who is in the wrong here. If Young Master Li has any requests, please feel free to make them. Our Lin family will definitely provide compensation."

Li Yifei turned to look at Ye Yunzhu and said softly, "Yunzhu is my person, and Lin Sihao not only wanted to deal with me but also with Yunzhu. Such a ruthless person will not be content after getting out; I think he might as well stay in prison for a few more years to temper his arrogance and reflect properly, to prevent him from causing even more trouble for your Lin family in the future."

Lin Zhengyong was shocked and abruptly stood up, saying, "Young Master Li, are you determined not to let Sihao off?"

Li Yifei did not even lift his head, his fingers playing with the teacup as he spoke slowly, "That’s right, I do not wish to let him off. No matter who it is, if they clash with me, I can overlook it, but if anyone dares to target my family or the people around me, then I will definitely not show mercy."

Lin Zhengyong clenched his fists tightly and said, "Young Master Li, you haven’t been injured, and Yunzhu wasn’t harmed either. Our Lin family has already said we will compensate you. Can’t you let bygones be bygones?"

Li Yifei slowly shook his head and said, "That’s right, and another piece of advice for the Lin family, manage your own children properly. Although your Lin family’s power is not weak, if the family is filled with such worthless young masters, then your Lin family is on its way to decline."

Lin Zhengyong felt a surge of anger rush to his head and almost slammed the table in fury, but Yifei’s status made him dare not to act so. In this province, their Lin family could indeed dismiss the vast majority of people, but if they were to openly defy the Su Family from the Capital City, it would no doubt be a futile effort.

"Today, my meeting with you was a reminder not to let such vast family business ruin in the hands of such a scoundrel," Yifei said again indifferently, then stood up, wrapped an arm around Ye Yunzhu’s shoulder, and walked out.

Lin Qiong watched Yifei flaunting his closeness with another woman right in front of her, which didn’t sit well with her, yet she also felt that Yifei was truly domineering. Lin Zhengyong was a high-ranking official in the province, and even the Municipal Party Secretary of Mile City would have to curry favor with him, but Yifei just wouldn’t give him face and even carried an intimidating tone. That was impressively brazen.

However, at this moment, it didn’t seem appropriate for her to follow them out, so she stayed behind with Ning Changzheng.

At this time, Ning Changzheng looked at Lin Zhengyong and said, "Deputy Director Lin, how do you propose we handle this matter?"

Lin Zhengyong took several deep breaths, slowly calming down his restless emotions, before saying, "Handle it normally." Then, with a swing of his arm, he too left.

Ning Changzheng gave a wry smile, looked at Lin Qiong, and said, "It seems the arm from the Capital City is still thicker."

Lin Qiong raised her head and asserted, "If Lin Sihao broke the law, then he should be dealt with in this way." Inside, though, she was filled with boundless pride—no matter if Yifei was with Ye Yunzhu, Yifei was still her man.

Ye Yunzhu got into the car with Li Yifei and said with a smile, "So you’re the Young Master from the Capital City, truly remarkable." Others might not know of Yifei’s past, but how could she not? Of course, she knew that Yifei’s identity as the Young Master from the Capital City was fake.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "It was Su Mengxin who saddled me with this identity. Whether I have such a background or not, you should know."

Ye Yunzhu pouted and suddenly stretched out a hand to pinch Li Yifei’s ear, glaring as she demanded, "What exactly is your relationship with Su Mengxin?"

"What relationship could I have with her? We’re just good friends," Li Yifei hurriedly explained with a pained expression.

"Good friends? You’re fooling ghosts? Good friends would give you so many benefits, pretty much gifting you a company, and always covering for you. When we went to the Capital City, she even particularly came to pick us up in her car. Would someone of her stature do all that for just a friend?"

"Yunzhu, you should think about who Mengxin is, how could she be involved with me? We really are just friends," he protested.

"Really? You didn’t sleep with her, did you?"

"No, absolutely not! I wouldn’t dare," he denied vehemently.

"As if there’s anything you wouldn’t dare to do. Ning Xin’er isn’t easy to mess with either, and yet you managed to get her pregnant, didn’t you?"

"But I really have nothing to do with Su Mengxin, I don’t understand why you always suspect there’s something between Mengxin and me," Li Yifei complained, somewhat irritated. Yunzhu was not the only one who doubted his relationship with Su Mengxin. How could Mengxin possibly fancy him? It was a ludicrous thought.
