Chapter 814: Chapter 854 This is too awesome

"You’re joking, right? Do you take us police for fools? There’s only one village doctor in this stronghold, and he can only treat minor illnesses. You’re saying the doctor is treating your wife? That’s obviously a lie."

The station chief knew the stronghold well and immediately snapped.

Gao Dong’s face immediately darkened, saying, "You’d better not play any tricks. Surrendering is your only way out."

Li Yifei, trying to keep his patience, said, "Deputy Director Gao, my wife has been unconscious this whole time, and everyone in the stronghold knows that. The person treating my wife is a friend of mine, and she’s a foreigner. She’s been in the village for a while now and has treated many people here. You can verify this yourself."

Gao Dong hesitated, then responded, "If that’s the case, let me conduct a search then."

Li Yifei shook his head, saying, "I’m going to reiterate one more time, my friend is treating my wife, and she must not be disturbed. If anyone goes to affect her, it won’t just be my wife who gets hurt — my friend will be injured too. Just now, when this officer came with his colleagues, that’s what happened, and that’s why I hurt them."

The station chief was still fuming about Li Yifei having hit him and was even more disdainful at Li Yifei’s mystical story, which was hard to believe. So he scoffed, "You’re quite the storyteller. I bet you’re just trying to tamper with evidence now. Deputy Director, they might be destroying evidence upstairs right this minute."

Gao Dong didn’t believe what Li Yifei had said, but somewhat trusted the station chief’s words. If the drugs were destroyed, there’d be no evidence left. His gaze towards Li Yifei turned sharper.

Seeing they didn’t believe him, Li Yifei knew he was in trouble if Gao Dong ordered a search. He quickly said, "Deputy Director, I know you don’t believe this, but do you know who is here now?"

"Who?" Gao Dong grew tense and shouted, "You’ve got a hostage?"

Li Yifei’s mind raced, continuing, "Correct, we have a hostage, and her identity is of high significance. If anything happens to her, you can forget about being in charge here."

Li Yifei’s main goal now was to buy time until the Saintess finished her task. By that time, it wouldn’t matter how many SWAT members were here, he wouldn’t take them seriously. Gao Dong’s words reminded him, and he immediately followed up on that lead.

"Don’t you understand that doing this will only add to your charges?" Gao Dong tried to play mind games with Li Yifei.

Li Yifei smiled faintly, saying, "Deputy Director, it’s no use talking to me about that. Let me tell you, our hostage is Su Mengxin. If you don’t know who Su Mengxin is, you can search online right now. Oh, and look for the most famous one."

Gao Dong waved, and someone hurried to the car to search, coming back in less than a minute, saying to Gao Dong, "Deputy Director, there are many Su Mengxins in Huaxia but the most famous is the number one beauty from Yicheng, Su Mengxin."

Su Mengxin wasn’t widely known among the general public, she wasn’t an entertainment star, and only the upper echelons really knew what she did; gossip news couldn’t get interviews with her, hence the police being unaware until they looked her up.

Even though Gao Dong had heard of Su Mengxin being Huaxia’s number one beauty, he had no recollection of her. However, following his subordinate’s report, he realized Su Mengxin must be someone of non-trivial standing. He snorted, demanding, "I want to see the hostage."

Li Yifei pointed at the station chief, saying, "You’ve got photos, right? Show them to him. He’s seen Su Mengxin before, he’ll recognize her at a glance."

The station chief instantly recognized Su Mengxin from the photo; a beauty like her would be hard to forget after one look.

"Deputy Director, this woman is indeed here," the station chief whispered to Gao Dong.

Li Yifei smiled again and added, "You’d better understand Su Mengxin’s identity clearly. She is the granddaughter of Old Master Su from Huaxia’s top leadership. If something happens to her here, consider the consequences."

There was only one notable Su in Huaxia’s upper echelons. Once Li Yifei mentioned this, Gao Dong immediately knew who it was, and he broke into a cold sweat. If it were an ordinary hostage, it would be one thing, but now it involved top leadership — even a minor injury to the hostage would be more than he could handle.

Now he understood the magnitude of the case he had encountered, which was beyond his ability to handle.

At that moment, Li Yifei, smiling, stated, "Deputy Director, I now demand to speak with Old Master Su. You have ten minutes to connect me. If you don’t make the call, I’ll kill the hostage."

After saying that, Li Yifei turned and walked towards the wooden building, Gao Dong and a large group of police didn’t dare lay a finger on Li Yifei.

On reaching the upper floor, Su Mengxin quickly approached, both asking in unison, "How did it go?"

Su Mengxin immediately said, "The Saintess hasn’t finished yet."

Li Yifei glanced inside and saw the Saintess’ hands on Xu Yingying’s head, her forehead dripping with sweat, clearly in a critical moment, which made him extremely anxious.

Su Mengxin gently tugged at Li Yifei, whispering, "What’s the situation outside?"

Li Yifei took a deep breath before explaining, "I revealed your identity, saying we kidnapped you, to make them connect your grandfather’s call within ten minutes."

Miss Su Mengxin blinked, then let out a light chuckle, "You’re really terrible, my grandfather must be going crazy right now."

At the time, Li Yifei only wanted to stall for time, and with Su Mengxin putting it that way, it did feel pretty accurate. In fact, it was a bit of sweet revenge on Old Master Su.

As ten minutes were almost up and the Saintess showed no signs of concluding, Li Yifei was anxious at heart but had no choice but to step out of the wooden building once again.

It was at this moment that Gao Dong had just gotten through to his superiors when he heard an old man’s roaring voice on the other end, "What’s going on? Who kidnapped my Mengxin?"

Gao Dong was speaking to such a high-ranking official for the first time and felt so nervous he thought he might die, barely managing to say, "Vice Chairman Su... we are negotiating with the criminals, and we will ensure your granddaughter’s safety."

"How can you police be so incompetent? Allowing a criminal to be so rampant?"

"Yes, yes, it’s our negligence, Vice Chairman Su. The criminal has come out, he’s asking to speak with you..."

"Hand him the phone!" Old Master Su shouted.

Gao Dong hurriedly passed the phone to Li Yifei, urging him, "We’ve got the call through."

At this moment, Li Yifei was in no hurry at all, sauntering along, he said, "Wait a minute, I need to take a piss first."

"What? Take a piss?" All the police officers’ eyes widened as they stared at Li Yifei as if he were some kind of monster. The kid was too full of himself; the other party was Huaxia’s Vice Chairman, a huge official! Even if you’re a kidnapper, when facing a leader of this standing, you should still show some respect.

"Why isn’t he taking the call yet?" Old Master Su roared again.

Gao Dong put the phone to his ear, stammered, "He said... he said he needs to take a piss."

Old Master Su’s nose was nearly crooked with anger as he bellowed, "Hurry up and get him over here to take the call."

"But... we really don’t dare to act rashly now. Miss Su is still in their hands."

Mentioning his granddaughter, Elder Su managed to suppress his anger and ordered, "Wait for him to come, then get him on the phone."

"Yes, yes... he’s coming." Even just for a phone call, Gao Dong felt immense pressure. If he said anything wrong and upset Old Master Su, his career prospects would be ruined.

"Come on, Vice Chairman Su is waiting for your call." As Li Yifei approached, Gao Dong urged him impatiently.

Li Yifei suddenly clutched his stomach and said, "Ah, not good, I need to take a dump now. Just have him wait a bit longer." And with that, he slipped away again.

The eyes of all the officers were about to pop out. Had they ever seen a robber like this before? What kind of stunt was he pulling?

"What on earth is happening? Why hasn’t anyone picked up the call?" Old Master Su had waited a while and still no one had come, so he couldn’t help but roar again.

"Chairman... He said he needs to take a dump again..." Gao Dong knew he would get an earful the moment those words came out.

Sure enough, he hadn’t been wrong – as soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Su started shouting, "What’s this nonsense, are all of you police officers useless? Get him over here to take the call right now."

Gao Dong said with a downcast face, "Chairman Su... Miss Su is in their hands, we don’t dare..."

All his years as a policeman, it was his first time dealing with such a high-stakes case, and he had never felt such frustration before. If it had been an ordinary person held hostage, he would have never stooped so low.

Naturally, as soon as his granddaughter was mentioned, Old Master Su lost his temper again, and his uncharacteristic lack of composure today was precisely because his family’s most important granddaughter had been kidnapped.

Finally, Li Yifei came out again, and Gao Dong, suppressing the frustration in his heart, said, "Can you take the call now?"

Li Yifei walked up to Gao Dong, stretched out his hand, and said, "Fine, I’ll take it."

Gao Dong felt like the phone in his hand was a hot potato, quickly passing it to Li Yifei, who then leisurely brought it to his ear and said, "Hello Old Master Su."

Old Master Su immediately threatened, "I warn you, if you dare to touch a single hair on Mengxin’s head, I will not let you go. Even if you flee to the ends of the Earth, I will catch you and bring you back."

Li Yifei said with a grin, "Then I just might touch her. Not only will I touch her hair, but I’ll also touch her hand, her face, everything."

All the police officers nearly collapsed; this kidnapper was just too audacious.
