Chapter 815: Chapter 885: Bring Disaster Upon Oneself

"You dare!" yelled Old Master Su suddenly.

"I dare, indeed. Mengxin was under your supervision for over twenty years, and now she’ll be under mine."

"I’ll kill you! Wait, who are you..." Old Master Su suddenly felt something was off.

"My name... is Li Yifei."

"You... little bastard, what are you trying to pull?" Upon hearing Li Yifei reveal his name, Old Master Su’s initial relief quickly turned into a furious outburst.

Watching Old Master Su get so worked up amused Li Yifei, but since he was Mengxin’s grandfather, he refrained from going too far. "I didn’t do anything. I was just here treating my wife when a bunch of police officers came, accusing us of drug trafficking. I couldn’t clear it up, so I had to claim I kidnapped Mengxin to make them think twice."

"So Mengxin vanished recently because she went to you again, huh? You filthy kid, this is clearly a planned revenge."

"I suppose so." Li Yifei admitted openly.

Old Master Su snorted and said, "Hand the phone to the chief."

Li Yifei handed the phone to Gao Dong, who and his team were confused, not understanding what was going on; they took the phone with a puzzled face. Yet, they were clueless about why Li Yifei, who spoke to Old Master Su without making any demands, sounded like they were familiar with each other.

"Vice Chairman Su, this is Xiao Gao." Gao Dong respectfully greeted over the phone.

"Take your men and leave. Don’t harass them anymore," Old Master Su immediately instructed.

"Chairman Su... Miss Su is still with them, isn’t she?"

"It’s fine. Don’t worry about it. That guy’s no kidnapper." Old Master Su hung up the phone. How could he admit his granddaughter was involved with Li Yifei? It annoyed and embarrassed him, especially now that he couldn’t control his granddaughter, who had even run off to Lijiang.

Standing in a daze with the phone, Gao Dong finally waved and ordered, "Move out!"

But all the police officers stood still, completely baffled.

"Move out! Are you all deaf?" Gao Dong yelled again.

This time, everyone clearly understood the command and quickly returned to their vehicles.

"Chief Gao, what exactly is going on?" the injured station chief hesitantly asked.

Gao Dong grimly replied, "How would I know what’s happening? Just stay away from here from now on."

"But... isn’t Chairman Su’s granddaughter here?"

"If Chairman Su isn’t concerned, why should we be?" Gao Dong impatiently waved his hand, then glanced at Li Yifei, suddenly realizing a possibility. "This kid is way too casual with Vice Chairman Su; they must know each other. Maybe it’s all a misunderstanding." He quickly apologized to Li Yifei, "I’m really sorry; it seems we’ve made a mistake."

Li Yifei waved it off, feeling no ill will toward Gao Dong who, like any officer, would have acted similarly. "I was also too impulsive at that time; attacking the police only escalated the situation."

More convinced of Li Yifei’s influence, Gao Dong took out his business card and handed it to him, saying, "This is my card. If you ever come to Lijiang, let me buy you a drink."

"You bet!" Li Yifei gladly accepted the card.

As the situation calmed, Wu Gang, unable to approach earlier, now pushed forward, eager to see the authorities in action but finding no arrests, he panicked.

"He has drugs here. Why aren’t you seizing him?" Wu Gang saw the police leaving and exclaimed in desperation.

Wu Gang’s relative, the station chief standing by Gao Dong, although not fully understanding the situation, clearly saw that Old Master Su didn’t intend to pursue Li Yifei, and it seemed Mengxin wasn’t actually kidnapped.

At the moment he saw Mengxin contentedly hanging laundry; had it been a real kidnapping, she wouldn’t be doing such chores so leisurely.

Startled by Wu Gang suddenly stepping forward, the chief snapped, "Don’t spout nonsense here!"

Blinded by lust and desiring to rescue two beauties himself to win their favor, Wu Gang ignored his superior’s warning completely and urgently said, "Chief Gao, there really are drugs here, on the first floor."

"How do you know there are drugs in my place?" Li Yifei glared at Wu Gang, narrowing his eyes.

Wu Gang, brimming with smug delight, said, "If you don’t want others to know, then don’t do it yourself. I saw it with my own eyes, Chief Gao, his drugs are hidden under a bamboo frame on the first floor, a big package."

At this point, the station chief was really getting anxious and forcefully pulled Wu Gang aside, bellowing, "Get out of here right now! Is this the place for your nonsense?"

Under normal circumstances, Wu Gang would have understood that his relative was trying to help him, but at this moment, he was hell-bent on getting Li Yifei and the others arrested, truly bewitched by a deviant obsession, seemingly seeking his own doom.

"How am I causing trouble? I’m a law-abiding citizen. When I see someone selling drugs, I must report it. Chief Gao, there really are drugs, haven’t you found them?"

Gao Dong, with a stern face, replied, "We indeed haven’t found anything, so please remove the drugs yourself."

"Alright!" Wu Gang eagerly agreed and hurried off to get the drugs, while his relative, the station chief, could only silently sigh in his heart. Even if he wanted to help, it was beyond his capability now, and also felt annoyed with Wu Gang for stirring up trouble and implicating him.

Wu Gang skillfully retrieved the drugs and presented them to Gao Dong, saying, "Chief Gao, look, this is the evidence."

Gao Dong took it and asked, "What kind of drug is this?"

"This is the latest drug X6, very high purity."

"Is that so? How much is there?"

"Two hundred forty grams."

A meaningful smile appeared on Gao Dong’s face as he remarked, "You seem to know quite a lot, don’t you?"

"Yes, Chief Gao, these two hundred grams are enough for a ten-year sentence," Wu Gang responded with a grin.

Gao Dong slowly said, "Yes, this is enough for ten years. However, what I admire is you— not only did you see where the drugs were hidden, but you could even identify them."

Wu Gang’s face changed, suddenly realizing he had overspoken and quickly tried to backpedal, "No, no, I was just guessing."

Gao Dong’s expression hardened, and he snapped, "You really are good at guessing, aren’t you? Recognizing the type of drug at a glance and even its exact quality. Not even our specialized drug enforcement officers have that kind of discernment."

"Chief Gao, Chief Gao, you misunderstand, I am just a reporter, a law-abiding citizen."

Gao Dong sharply retorted, "Dammit, do you think I’m an idiot? You call yourself a law-abiding citizen? I’ve been investigating you for a long time. If you hadn’t shown up today, I would have had to come after you. Today, you’ve delivered yourself to me, so take him away."

Several policemen rushed forward and aggressively apprehended Wu Gang. Wu Gang tried to shout, but Li Yifei delivered a slap to his neck, knocking him unconscious.

Li Yifei dared to strike in front of the police, even striking Wu Gang like that. That was excessively audacious.

"Chief Gao, sorry, but my wife must not be disturbed, and I need to keep him quiet. Thank you for your keen observation just now."

Gao Dong, feeling slightly embarrassed by Li Yifei’s words, laughed it off and said, "Now that the truth has come to light, we’ll be on our way then. All teams, pay attention, be gentle while leaving, and make sure not to make any noise."

Despite not feeling particularly grateful to Gao Dong for other things, Li Yifei was appreciative of this command and said, "Hmm, I won’t keep you any longer— Chief Gao, consider this a favor I owe you."

Gao Dong was thrilled inside. From monitoring the phone call between Old Master Su and Li Yifei, he had deduced that Li Yifei was no ordinary person. Even a mayor would not speak as casually as Li Yifei did with someone at Old Master Su’s level. Moreover, while awaiting Old Master Su’s call, he treated it with utter disregard, clearly showing no respect or purposely provoking Old Master Su. Only someone from the Su Family could behave that way.

Even the most influential figures have limited options when dealing with their descendants.

Furthermore, with Su Mengxin also being here, Gao Dong had confidently concluded that Li Yifei was indeed a member of the Su Family, who seemed to have run away from home in a fit of anger with the old man.

Such a character was not someone Gao Dong could afford to overlook, and with Li Yifei admitting he owed him a favor, if something important came up in the future, this favor could become an Imperial sword— either a lifesaver or a means to advance in rank and fortune.

"Mr. Li, how can I get in touch with you in the future?" Gao Dong hesitated, then asked cautiously.

Li Yifei responded with a slight smile, "I haven’t been carrying my phone lately. Write down this home number, I’ll be returning there soon."

After giving Gao Dong a number, Li Yifei seemed a bit distracted; he had casually mentioned returning home, but only now realized he had always wanted to return. He was simply avoiding this thought as Xu Yingying hadn’t recovered yet.

All the policemen had left, their movements very gentle, without a single sound of a siren, and hardly any voice at all— if someone did speak, it was in hushed whispers, with no one talking loudly. This was definitely not typical police behavior, but this time, they truly had acted thus.
