Chapter 720: Chapter 759 Sympathy in Sickness

Due to the identities of Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er, Lin Qiong also started to chat normally with the three of them, and at this moment, she brought up the case that had been troubling her.

Heizi was Mile City’s biggest drug dealer. After taking down Heizi, the drug supply in Mile City was initially scarce. But just when it seemed to have quieted down for a few days, the drug supply in Mile City suddenly became plentiful again. Although the police had arrested some people, these were just small fry. From their mouths, no valuable information could be found.

This meant that the new drug dealer in Mile City must be part of a tightly organized group with significant power; otherwise, despite the many days of investigation, no trace of them would have been found.

"Have you started looking into the underworld?" Li Yifei asked.

Officer Lin frowned and said, "We have already conducted investigations in this regard, but we haven’t gotten any information from them, and all signs point to their non-involvement. This power seems to have snuck in from somewhere else."

With what Officer Lin said, Li Yifei didn’t need to ask Brother Hu anymore.

At this moment, Su Mengxin interjected, "Drug trafficking is indeed a heinous act that must be eradicated. It causes so much harm; it’s fundamentally a scourge on our people."

Officer Lin spoke seriously, "Yes, our police force is currently conducting tight surveillance, but we are unable to find a breakthrough point, which is very frustrating for us."

Li Yifei’s eyes narrowed slightly. From what Officer Lin had said, he remembered an organization with a vast network around the world. They were an unusual religious group whose members were all indoctrinated with their religious beliefs, making them extremely loyal to the organization. Even when their members were caught, it was very difficult to get any information out of them. Often, by the time they were captured, they had already committed suicide.

And for this organization, drug trafficking was their main source of income; narcotics sales brought them huge financial benefits, which allowed their organization to develop further.

Many countries around the world were aware of this organization’s existence and wanted to eradicate it, but their movements were too mysterious. Li Yifei had been involved in actions aimed at eliminating this group, but in the end, they always fell short of success. He also knew that the organization had many skilled operatives. If they decided to seek revenge on someone, it would be relentless. Because of this, some smaller nations would turn a blind eye to this organization; otherwise, the havoc they could wreak would be too much for a small country to handle.

If this organization had set its sights on Mile City, Officer Lin’s pressure was no small matter, and finding incriminating evidence against them could easily lead to danger.

Even so, it couldn’t be confirmed that it was indeed this organization involved, as there were many other criminal syndicates and major drug lords who had made their fortunes through narcotics. If it was one of these other drug lords, Li Yifei wouldn’t be as concerned about Officer Lin’s safety.

"Li Yifei, what do you think? Do you have any ideas?" Officer Lin asked him eagerly.

Li Yifei shrugged his shoulders and said, "It seems a bit difficult for me; do you take me for Superman or something? I can’t just know everything. With all the manpower and resources of the police force, just keep looking and you’ll find something eventually. This is not like the cases you’ve worked on before. I’ll just tap around the edges for now."

Officer Lin glared at Li Yifei. She had great confidence in him. In her heart, as long as this mysterious man, Li Yifei, took action, there was nothing he couldn’t do. But not just in front of Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er—she didn’t want to express this. Even when alone with Li Yifei, she preferred to treat him as an ordinary person. It was only when there was real trouble that she would regard Li Yifei as that powerful, mysterious individual. Otherwise, she could never stand her ground and be fierce in front of him again.

While the case was causing Officer Lin great distress, she sought out Li Yifei to let him know about it, hoping this expert could lend a hand. The other reason she had for calling Li Yifei over was to have a private moment with him to alleviate some of the stress from work. Unfortunately, that wish clearly wouldn’t be fulfilled now.

"Officer Lin, it seems you and Yifei are quite close. Be careful, this guy might have designs on you. He’s a real Casanova and can’t move an inch when he sees a beautiful woman," said Ning Xin’er, half-jokingly teasing Officer Lin.

Officer Lin did indeed feel somewhat guilty, and being a person not very adept at hiding her deeper thoughts, her face showed a trace of panic. With a forced laugh, she said, "I know. I just think of him as a buddy."

When Officer Lin first became a police officer, although she was brave and daring, she wasn’t a tomboy and didn’t have that kind of hearty and masculine air about her. But as she climbed the ranks, always wanting to prove she could solve cases without relying solely on Li Yifei, she gradually adopted a more masculine demeanor, even cutting her hair short to appear sharp and efficient.

Unfortunately, her words betrayed her true feelings, which both Su Mengxin and Ning Xin’er could easily discern. The panic in her eyes had already given away her relationship with Li Yifei.

Ning Xin’er sneakily pinched Li Yifei’s lower back and said with a smiling face to Lin Qiong, "I didn’t say anything else, just feeling that this guy is really worthless. Just a heads-up for you, so you don’t fall for his tricks like I did. If I hadn’t been duped by him back then, would I have ended up having his child so early?"

Lin Qiong forced an awkward smile and said, "That’s Li Yifei’s blessing then. Who knows how many men in the world dream of having a child with you? It’s just this jerk who got lucky."

Seeing Ning Xin’er curse Li Yifei as a jerk to his face, Lin Qiong felt an unspeakable sense of relief. The guilt she had felt earlier seemed to vanish all at once, and she continued, "I’ve been advising this guy to settle down for a while now, but he just won’t stay honest. Every time I see him with other women, I just want to drag him over and give him a good beating, to take revenge on behalf of those women he deceived."

Ning Xin’er nodded repeatedly, saying, "Exactly, I feel the same way, but he’s a married man now. His wife doesn’t deal with him, and I can’t do anything. It’s you, his good buddy, who can really keep him in line. If something like this happens again in the future, you have my strong support in beating him up."

Provoked by Ning Xin’er, Lin Qiong instantly glared fiercely at Li Yifei and said through gritted teeth, "Did you hear that? You’ve even disappointed the women around you. If you don’t rein yourself in, you’ll end up being dealt with by everyone."

Li Yifei thought about Lin Qiong and Ning Xin’er getting into a clash as fiery as Mars hitting Earth, but he never anticipated the two would unite to form a criticism meeting against him. It would be unwise to interject now, so he could only remain silent and make his fortune. He lit a cigarette, pretending to be deaf to the conversation.

Su Mengxin chuckled and said, "Look at you, Yifei, they’re condemning you, and here you are acting as if you can’t hear."

Li Yifei was immediately covered in cold sweat. Su Mengxin was not helping him out of the predicament; instead, she was fanning the flames. She was practically pushing him into a pit of fire.

"Exactly, you think you can just play dead here? Do you have any objections to what we’ve said?" Ning Xin’er demanded as she glared at Li Yifei.

Li Yifei quickly replied, "Not at all, not at all. One of you is a big star, the other is the Chief of the Public Security Bureau. How could I, a mere nobody, dare to have any objections?"

Ning Xin’er snorted and said, "So you do know you’re just a nobody. Just look at yourself, your wife is the general manager of a big company, Ye Yunzhu is now the Deputy County Head, and you have little mistresses like Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao at home, not to mention Lin Qiong here, the Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau. What more could you want? You’re still messing around outside, can you be fair to these people? Do you even have a conscience left?"

At this, Lin Qiong also spoke bitterly, "You scoundrel, I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you. I wish I could just castrate you right now."

Li Yifei was speechless, rolling his eyes towards Lin Qiong, who was still oblivious and roared at him, "How dare you not accept it? Don’t think women are easy to bully. If we women band together to take you down, it will be as easy as playing... Ning Xin’er... oh... I... "

Lin Qiong was in the midst of her rant when she suddenly found Ning Xin’er looking at her with an ambiguous smile. Her heart tightened as she realized she had gone too far in her words. Wasn’t she admitting to a certain relationship with Li Yifei just like Ning Xin’er, thus appearing like a scorned woman attacking him?

Biting her lip tightly, Lin Qiong suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "Yes, it’s true! I’m involved with this guy in an ambiguous way. I asked him to come today because I wanted to have a relationship with him, because I missed him. So what?"

Ning Xin’er and Su Mengxin were completely dumbfounded, not expecting Lin Qiong to confess so openly and directly at this moment.

Li Yifei coughed dryly and said, "Qiongqiong, don’t get worked up. Ning Xin’er and Mengxin aren’t here to cause you trouble."

Looking at Lin Qiong, Ning Xin’er sighed and said, "Lin Qiong, I realized we have some similarities. We’re both bold, and both played by this guy without becoming his wife. We really shouldn’t be enemies at all."

Hearing Ning Xin’er speak, Lin Qiong’s spirit immediately deflated, and her mouth twitched as she responded, "Well, you have already had his child, and he can’t deny it even if he wanted to."

Ning Xin’er sighed disconsolately and said, "What’s the use of having a child? I’m not even as good as you. At least when you call him, he has to come. When you want to be intimate with him, he runs to you eagerly. But for me? Now he keeps his distance, treating me like some kind of disaster."

Lin Qiong was momentarily stunned, then suddenly said, "Ning Xin’er, from now on you’re my good sister. Let’s join forces, and I don’t believe we can’t handle this jerk."

Ning Xin’er was left speechless, while Li Yifei held his forehead in despair. Su Mengxin pursed her lips, barely containing her laughter.
