Chapter 694: Chapter 733: Su Yiyi Helps Someone and Is Falsely Accused

Li Yifei wasn’t the same person he used to be, so he was more careful when it came to killing. Besides, with Xu Shanshan present, he didn’t want to kill someone in front of her. That’s why he had only severely damaged Sun Dongran’s brain with a single palm strike.

By doing this, Li Yifei’s aim was to establish his authority in front of Brother Hu and to subdue this underling. Having a local snake like this at his service would save him a lot of trouble in the future.

As for taking Xu Shanshan with him, he wanted her to be more cautious in the future. The girl was too wild at heart and often too careless. She needed a lesson to prevent future incidents.

On the way back, Xu Shanshan was silent the entire ride while Li Yifei drove and asked with a smile, "Are you scared?"

Xu Shanshan shook her head and said, "Such a bad person deserves to die even if he were to die. It’s just that I’m not used to it."

"Not used to what?" Li Yifei asked again.

Xu Shanshan turned to look at Li Yifei, pouting her lips and said, "In my heart, you’re always a very easy-going person. I can be disrespectful in front of you, and I can bully you freely. But just now, you were really dominant, and it made me feel very unfamiliar. If you’re like that, I won’t dare to bully you in the future."

Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh heartily. After a while, he said, "Silly girl, that’s just how I am towards bad people. In front of you, aren’t I still that brother-in-law you can freely bully?"

"Really?" Xu Shanshan’s eyes glinted with laughter.

Li Yifei nodded and said, "Of course it’s true."

"Hehe, that’s great then. You’ve said it now, you can’t be harsh on me from now on. If you are, I won’t be able to take it, and I’ll be very sad and very upset."

"I won’t be, Shanshan. You’re so adorable, I wouldn’t have enough time in this life to love you, how could I be harsh on you?"

Xu Shanshan smiled proudly and said, "I knew you were the best to me, brother-in-law. Oh, and why does Brother Hu act like your underling? Don’t tell me you’re the biggest underworld leader in Mile City?"

Li Yifei burst into laughter and said, "Do I look like an underworld figure to you?"

Xu Shanshan giggled and said, "You don’t look like it, but isn’t Brother Hu part of the underworld? And since he listens to you so much, doesn’t that make you his boss?"

Li Yifei smiled and said, "He listens to me just because I’m stronger than he is, and he can’t afford to offend me. All I want to do is live a good life with your sister and spend a lifetime with you all. I’m not interested in other things. But since people keep causing trouble, I just have to find some people to deal with these matters."

"So you mean, you took Brother Hu as your underling just to protect me and my sister?"

"Yes."

"Brother-in-law, you’re so cool!" Xu Shanshan cheered, blinked her eyes, and then asked, "So can I bring a few underlings with me when I go out in the future?"

Li Yifei gave Xu Shanshan a look and said, "Do you think your sister wouldn’t skin you alive if she saw that?"

Xu Shanshan stuck out her tongue and said, "That’s true. Let’s forget about it then. I know I’m pretty awesome as it is."

The two of them chatted and laughed all the way home. They had gone out under the pretext of attending a gathering organized by Xu Shanshan’s co-workers. Since it was late when they returned, Xu Yingying had been worried and let Li Yifei accompany her. Seeing that they hadn’t been drinking, she praised them.

The next day, while Li Yifei was at work in the office, a call from an unfamiliar number came to his mobile phone. Li Yifei casually answered, "Hello, who’s this?"

"Is this Brother Li Yifei?" A woman’s voice came through, sounding young.

"It’s me. Who’s this?" Li Yifei didn’t recognize who it was.

"I’m Song Xiaoli, Yiyi’s roommate."

"Ah, Little Li, what’s up?" Though Li Yifei knew who Song Xiaoli was, having dined with her before, there hadn’t been any contact since then, which made today’s call somewhat inexplicable.

"It’s about Yiyi. She’s in trouble."

"What? What happened to Yiyi?" Li Yifei immediately roared.

Song Xiaoli on the other side was obviously startled and stammered, "Yesterday, Yiyi and I went out to play. We rode our bikes, and on the way back, we saw an old man fallen on the road. Yiyi wanted to help him, but I told her not to. She didn’t listen to me and went to help anyway, and now someone is blaming her and insisting that Yiyi compensates them."

Li Yifei let out a sigh of relief, as long as Yiyi wasn’t hurt, that was what mattered. However, the thought of Su Yiyi doing a good deed only to be scammed in return, he feared that she must be feeling absolutely awful by now.

At this point, Song Xiaoli added, "Yiyi didn’t want you to worry, so she told me not to tell you, but we don’t know how to handle this, and the other party is very aggressive. I could only tell you in secret."

"Thank you. Where is Yiyi now? I’ll be right there."

"We are at the Second Hospital. Don’t let on that I called you, otherwise Yiyi will blame me."

"Mm, I know. I’ll thank you properly later. I’m on my way right now."

Helping the elderly only to be falsely accused was something Su Yiyi had seen before. Last night, when she and Song Xiaoli went out and saw the old man lying on the ground, she hesitated. But as everyone else detoured around the old man, who was moaning and grimacing in pain, Yiyi decided to help.

With Song Xiaoli as a witness and a surveillance camera not far above, she believed she could prove her innocence, so in the end, she helped the old man up.

The old man wasn’t confused at that time and kept thanking Yiyi. However, because the old man’s leg was injured and he couldn’t walk well, and his head was bleeding, Yiyi, wanting to do a good deed through to the end, took him to the Second Hospital and even covered some of the examination fees. Then, when the old man’s family arrived, fearing they might be scammed, Song Xiaoli promptly dragged Yiyi away.

Nothing happened overnight, and Yiyi felt good about doing a good deed, also believing that the scammers were just in the minority and most elderly wouldn’t scam others.

This morning, Yiyi received a call from a stranger claiming to be the old man’s family, wanting to thank her at the hospital. Wanting to check on the old man again, she went to the hospital with Song Xiaoli.

Inside the old man’s hospital room, aside from him, there were four other people, two men and two women, all in their forties, all with very ugly expressions. As soon as Yiyi and Xiaoli entered, a middle-aged woman in red clothes immediately glared at Yiyi and shouted, "You girl, you hit someone! How come you only paid a little for the examination? My father’s hospitalization fees alone have cost three thousand."

"Hit someone?" Su Yiyi suddenly turned pale with astonishment and stammered, "I didn’t hit anyone. I brought the old man to the hospital because I saw him fall."

The woman glared and said viciously, "Who are you trying to fool? Would anyone dare to help if they hadn’t hit someone? Besides, you brought him to the hospital. If you hadn’t hit him, would you have gone out of your way to help?"

Yiyi felt a wave of injustice washing over her. She was certain that she hadn’t caused the fall. Anxiously she replied, "I was really just doing a good deed. The old man knows the truth." All she needed was for the old man to confirm it wasn’t her fault, and she looked at him pleadingly.

At that moment, the old man lay in bed, looking at Yiyi. His lips moved slightly. A middle-aged man beside him, with a thick gold chain around his neck and a closely shaved head that gave an intimidating appearance, pushed the old man and asked, "Dad, take a good look. Is it this girl who hit you?"

The old man closed his eyes and said weakly, "Yes, it was her that hit me."

Yiyi was dumbfounded. Song Xiaoli became frantic, "Old man, please look carefully. We were the ones who helped you yesterday. How can you be so ungrateful?"

Yiyi also said anxiously, "Yes, grandpa, take a good look. Yesterday you kept praising me, saying I had a kind heart. How can you say it was me who helped you today?"

The middle-aged woman snorted, "You two stop putting on an act here. Do you think my father is senile? He deliberately said that yesterday to stop you from running away. Now that we’re all here, of course, he can tell the truth."

"Grandpa, you can’t wrong me like this," Yiyi said, her tears flowing.

The old man sighed deeply and said weakly, "It was you who hit me. You were riding a sky-blue bicycle."

The man sitting by the bed said with a threatening tone, "Did you hear that? My father has confirmed it. Girl, pay the hospitalization fees first, then we can talk about compensation."

Another man, clutching a briefcase and dressed in a suit as if a government official, with a stern face hummed, "You both look young. It would be best to have your parents come over."

Having never encountered such a situation, Yiyi and Xiaoli, although they had read about such scams online, could not accept it happening to them. The sight of the four adults’ imposing demeanor left them terrified and unsure of what to do.

"It really wasn’t me who hit him. I was just doing a good deed," Yiyi continued to argue for herself, but the four people refused to believe her. They spoke more rudely and became increasingly aggressive, making poor Yiyi feel so choked up with frustration that she even had thoughts of dying.
