Chapter 682: Chapter 720: That Man is Named Li Yifei

Brother Hu’s heart had been thumping these past few days; Heizi’s sudden incident made him feel that the matter was all too strange. Given Heizi’s many years of operating in Mile City, even if the things he dabbled in couldn’t be openly associated with officials, he would surely be well-informed. If the police could have nabbed him so easily, he wouldn’t have been in the mix for so many years. But now, they were saying he was caught just like that, with an abundance of evidence to boot.

It wasn’t unusual for a drug dealer to be caught, and Brother Hu knew that a guy like Heizi was bound to be arrested someday. That’s why he kept well away from Heizi, firmly refusing to get involved with him.

If it hadn’t been for that incident that day, Brother Hu would have thought Heizi’s arrest was business as usual. But Heizi had just clashed with Li Yifei, and then he was taken down. This made Brother Hu feel it must have something to do with that guy, Li Yifei.

"Boss, we’ve already thoroughly investigated that Li Yifei," someone started, "he used to work at the same company as Dreamfly’s CEO, Xu Yingying, and then they came over here to start Dreamfly. At first, he was the Human Resources Manager at Dreamfly, and then he became the manager of the security department."

A young man in his twenties, holding a file in his hand, stood in front of Brother Hu’s desk and began to read from the material he held.

"From our investigation at the Public Security Bureau, we found out that his parents died when he was young and then he served in the military. After returning, he worked in Mile City. As for interpersonal relationships, he’s quite popular among his colleagues in the company and even has good relations with many beautiful women. There’s a rumor in the company that his colleague Michelle is his girlfriend, but we found out that he’s already married. His wife is... the CEO of Dreamfly Company, Xu Yingying."

"Has this been kept a secret all along?" Brother Hu frowned slightly.

"Yes, very few people know about it. We only found out through investigating his household registration that his wife is Xu Yingying."

"Does he have any other relationships?"

"We haven’t found out anything else at the moment. If we’re talking about background, Xu Yingying might be his most significant support."

Brother Hu waved his hand, indicating for the young man to leave. He then lit a cigarette. He was a person with influence in Mile City. His wealth was growing and so were his contacts with officials. He was becoming increasingly keen on going legitimate, because only by going white could he sleep soundly. Otherwise, if the investigation reached him one day, he would surely be doomed.

So most of his current ventures were legitimate businesses, though some still required his underworld clout to smooth things over. Hence, for the time being, he couldn’t completely sever ties with the underworld. However, his official connections were now well established, so digging up Li Yifei’s information shouldn’t be too difficult.

Still, these reports did not fully convince Brother Hu. A Li Yifei like that simply could not have touched Heizi, unless Li Yifei had an even more substantial background, or perhaps the whole thing was just a coincidence, with the authorities having long intended to act on Heizi and just so happening to do it at that time.

If it were a coincidence, it would be fine, but if it were true, it would indicate how immense Li Yifei’s power was, something certainly beyond Brother Hu’s ability to handle. If he offended Li Yifei, it could potentially spell disaster.

While mulling over this matter, there was a knock on the office door, causing Brother Hu to frown and say, "Come in."

"Brother Hu, long time no see," a young man walked in, laughing heartily as he greeted him.

Brother Hu recognized the person; it was Sunx Dongran from Tianli Group. With ample business dealings between them, Brother Hu naturally had many interactions with Sunx Dongran. He immediately stood up, smiled, and said, "Young Master Sunx, what wind has blown you my way?"

Sunx Dongran took a seat on the sofa, saying, "The northeast wind, of course. Lately, the northeast wind has been blowing me all over."

"Oh? Has Young Master Sunx encountered some trouble? You’re not looking for me to step in and sort some matters for you, are you?" Brother Hu was quite astute and at this moment, he immediately picked up on the clue.

A sinister look flashed across Sunx Dongran’s face as he said, "I want you to help me cripple someone."

Brother Hu inwardly frowned; he was already reluctant to engage in such activities, but with the many collaborations he had with Tianli Group, and nearly all his earnings relying on them, he didn’t dare refuse. He promptly responded, "Young Master Sunx, just give the order. I need to see who dares to cross you. They’re blind."

Sunx Dongran snorted and said, "I truly hate this kid, I must put him in his grave, and I want him to die agonizingly, trembling with fear. He can’t be killed off so easily."

Brother Hu became curious at this point, yet he was slightly worried. Sunx Dongran was known to be very arrogant and never took others seriously. If the other party were easy to handle, Sunx Dongran would have dealt with him directly, likely with a nonchalant demeanor. His current hatred indicated that he’d suffered a setback from the other party and couldn’t solve it on his own. Engaging with such a person, who clearly had significant backing, was no laughing matter, even if one wished to curry favor with Sunx Dongran.

"Young Master Sunx, is there anything in Mile City that you can’t handle?"

Grinding his teeth, Sunx Dongran said, "Damn it, it’s not that I can’t handle it; it’s just not convenient for me to show my hand. I’ve set my sights on a woman, and that guy is her husband. If I confront him directly, that woman will end up hating me, which is why I want you to step in."

Upon hearing this, Brother Hu felt somewhat relieved. In today’s society, indeed many people were materialistic, but there were still some who believed in true love. It seemed that Sunx Dongran had encountered a woman not interested in his money, hence his frustration. Such matters were easier to handle. Smiling, he said, "I’m telling you, Young Master Sunx, there are plenty of pretty young girls out there. What type do you not have access to?"

"No, no, I’ve had my eye on this chick for a long time, I have to have her, even if she’s married."

Brother Hu laughed and said, "Young Master Sunx, you’ve changed your taste, haven’t you? You used to go after young girls, and now you’re into married women. But you’re right, married women do have a certain taste and are certainly not like those clueless girls who don’t know how to please a man."

Grinning, Sunx Dongran said, "You’re right about that."

"Then tell me the guy’s name, where he lives, and where he works, so I can make arrangements."

"Sure, the guy’s name is Li Yifei."

"What?" Just as Brother Hu had been thinking about Li Yifei, Sunx Dongran suddenly mentioned the same name, prompting him to involuntarily exclaim in surprise.

"What’s the matter? Why did you yell like that?" Sunx Dongran was taken aback by Brother Hu’s reaction and frowned at him.
