Chapter 693: Chapter 732: Turning into an Idiot

Li Yifei had already stood up by this time, the ropes that had bound him scattered at his feet, as he coldly watched Sunx Dongran.

Suddenly, Sunx Dongran became acutely aware of the danger, reacting as fast as a startled rabbit. He turned and dashed toward the main door, shouting loudly as he ran, "Brother Hu, Brother Huke, that guy has broken free!"

Li Yifei paid no attention to Sunx Dongran and instead pulled Xu Shanshan to her feet. With a flick of her arm, the ropes on her body also fell away. It was just a show, for how could she truly suffer the indignity of being tied up?

"Brother-in-law, that scum is just too awful. You can’t let him off," Xu Shanshan huffed, flicking her arm. Her life had always been joyful, and even when she had made some questionable friends in the past, among them were several who pursued her, but none had ever resorted to despicable means. In her mind, even if there were bad people, it was still a society of laws now, and those who recklessly disregarded other’s lives were desperados. Little did she expect that someone as wealthy as Sunx Dongran could be like this.

Li Yifei watched Sunx Dongran, who was banging on the door, and said, "Shanshan, there are many more bad people in this society than you can imagine. You must be even more cautious when you go out."

This outing with Xu Shanshan carried a warning from Li Yifei; despite the young lady’s many schemes, she was quite naive at heart and utterly unaware of the complex and murky aspects of society.

"Brother-in-law, I understand," Xu Shanshan nodded. If it weren’t for Li Yifei having Brother Hu defect ahead of time, she could have easily fallen into Sunx Dongran’s hands. If Li Yifei had been too late, she shuddered to think what might have happened.

Intending to open the door and flee, Sunx Dongran found to his dismay that it was locked from the outside. After exerting considerable effort without success, his shouts for Brother Hu went unanswered, driving him to the brink of madness. Yet even then, it didn’t cross his mind that Brother Hu might have deliberately set him up; he simply assumed Brother Hu had stepped away and would return shortly. Turning back, he addressed Li Yifei with a mixture of bluster and underlying fear, "Li Yifei, don’t get cocky. I’m telling you, Brother Hu is outside, and he will come in and deal with you soon enough."

Li Yifei sauntered over to Sunx Dongran and said, "Do you think Brother Hu can do anything to me?"

"You... you... Brother Hu is a renowned boss in Mile City’s underworld; if you dare touch me, he will surely kill your whole family."

Li Yifei’s expression darkened. He detested it most when his family was threatened, and now Sunx Dongran was still trying to intimidate him with such tactics, igniting even greater fury in Li Yifei’s heart.

"You won’t live to see that. I’m going to kill you right now." Li Yifei approached Sunx Dongran, swiftly grabbed his wrist with a light flick, dislocating it, and Sunx Dongran shrieked like a butchered pig.

"Ahh! My hand is broken, my hand is broken! You dare break my hand; you’re doomed, you’re doomed, you’re as good as dead."

What is called a spoiled scion? Sunx Dongran, this second-generation heir, was the epitome of one. In his mind, no one dared to lay a finger on him. Even as Li Yifei dislocated his wrist, he continued to threaten him.

Li Yifei snorted and said, "Didn’t you say you wanted to smash all my bones? Now I’m doing to you what you intended to do to me." With a kick, he sent Sunx Dongran rolling across the floor like a tumbleweed, the pain from his dislocated wrist as his hand hit the ground was unbearable.

It finally dawned on Sunx Dongran that he was in serious trouble. The excruciating pain in his hand made him realize Li Yifei was really capable of acting ruthlessly, a lawless man just like himself. No longer able to maintain his bravado, he fell to his knees weeping, and babbled, "Boss, boss, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have offended you. Please let me go."

Narrowing his eyes, Li Yifei looked at Sunx Dongran and asked, "Do you really think you were wrong?"

Like a pecking chicken, Sunx Dongran’s head bobbed vigorously as he hurriedly replied, "I truly realize my mistake. I won’t bother you and Xu Yingying again. I’ll walk the other way if I see you."

Li Yifei snorted, "Really?"

"Really, truly! Oh, and I can give you money, a lot of money. Just let me go. You know about our Tianli Group, we have assets of over a billion."

"You just reminded me how wealthy your family is indeed."

Hope flickered in Sunx Dongran’s eyes as he said eagerly, "Yes, yes, if you do anything to me, you stand to gain nothing. But if you let me go, I will give you a lot of money. Isn’t that better than anything else?"

"Fine then. Give me twenty million, and I’ll let you go," Li Yifei said indifferently.

Overjoyed at hearing this, Sunx Dongran thought twenty million was a bargain for his life. Besides, this incident was a mishap. As long as he could leave safely this time, he vowed to get his revenge on Li Yifei later. He quickly affirmed, "No problem, no problem. I will transfer the money to you."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Hu, open the door."

The storeroom door was immediately opened, and at this moment, Sunx Dongran still hadn’t realized that Brother Hu had opened the door as soon as Li Yifei asked. The moment the door opened, he rushed out and said to Brother Hu standing at the doorway, "Brother Hu, quickly finish this guy off."

But Brother Hu didn’t move an inch, which made Sunx Dongran very anxious and also extremely angry. He shouted, "I told you to finish him, did you hear me?"

Brother Hu still had no response, while Li Yifei leisurely walked out.

"Fuck, Brother Hu, just kill this kid and I’ll give you ten million afterward," Sunx Dongran yelled again.

Brother Hu couldn’t help shaking his head, thinking Sunx Dongran was a complete idiot. He said, "Young Master Sunx, sorry, but I’m Mr. Li’s man."

"What?" Sunx Dongran’s eyes bulged like light bulbs, and after a long moment, he finally exclaimed in disbelief, "Are you mistaken? He’s just a lousy security guard; how can you be his man?"

Brother Hu smiled slightly without a word.

At this point, Sunx Dongran finally understood, gritting his teeth and glaring at Brother Hu, he bellowed, "Fuck your mother, you betrayed me!"

Brother Hu’s face darkened as he said, "You only have yourself to blame for provoking someone you shouldn’t have. Heizi messed with Mr. Li and got arrested immediately. You’re just relying on your family’s money; it’s too much ignorance on your part."

Upon hearing this, Sunx Dongran was even more shocked. Of course, he knew about Heizi getting caught, but it had never occurred to him that Heizi’s arrest was connected to Li Yifei.

He wanted to run away at this point, but he knew full well that it was simply impossible with his physical strength. With a thump, he knelt down again and pleaded with a pitiful face to Li Yifei, "Boss, boss, I was blind to Mt. Tai’s greatness, I won’t dare again."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "It’s too late. I hate those who target my family the most, especially scumbags like you."

"I really won’t dare again! Really, I won’t!" Sunx Dongran knelt and crawled towards Li Yifei, pleading while crawling, and as he reached Li Yifei, his arms stretched out as if he was about to embrace Li Yifei’s legs. But at that moment, he suddenly lunged at Xu Shanshan, who was beside Li Yifei, with a sharp knife in his hand.

Xu Shanshan let out a sharp scream, but she had no chance to dodge and was completely unprepared for Sunx Dongran’s sudden attack.

At that instant, Sunx Dongran made the stupidest decision. He thought by holding Xu Shanshan hostage, Li Yifei wouldn’t dare do anything to him. What he didn’t know was that if he hadn’t done this, Li Yifei might have been less willing to be harsh, but now that he had done such a thing, how could Li Yifei let him off.

The incident happened so suddenly that Brother Hu was caught completely off guard. He couldn’t help but shout out loud, instinctively rushing forward to stop Sunx Dongran, but he knew that it was too late.

Sunx Dongran was about to pounce on Xu Shanshan, thinking that once he held the dagger to her, he would have nothing to fear. But he thought too highly of himself. Before he even touched Xu Shanshan, a large hand struck his forehead with swift force, and he knew nothing more as his body was kicked away by Li Yifei. When he hit the ground, he made no more movements.

Brother Hu exhaled in relief and immediately said, "Mr. Li, I’ll throw him into the sea."

Li Yifei shook his head and said, "No need, he’s not dead. But in his next life, he’ll be an idiot. Treat it as an accident and inform his family. Such trash, I don’t even deign to kill him."

Brother Hu agreed and respectfully escorted Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan out. He immediately checked Sunx Dongran’s breath and found it still present. Internally, he felt a turmoil akin to stormy seas. After that palm strike from Li Yifei, which he said would leave the man an idiot, if he received the same, wouldn’t he become an idiot too?

Latter on, Brother Hu found out that after being admitted to the hospital, Sunx Dongran’s life was saved, but he had indeed become an idiot. Although he wasn’t vegetative—able to walk—he didn’t recognize anyone and just chuckled foolishly all day long. The people of Mile City lamented that the Sunx Nenghui had no successor.

As for Brother Hu, because of this incident, his reverence for Li Yifei reached new heights. Before, he had thought about cooperating with Li Yifei; now, he was truly willing to risk his life for him.
