Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1402 - 1451: Meng Xiaofei Is Missing

Li Yifei left Villa No. 12, secretly thinking that this trip was worthwhile. Li Musheng was indeed planning revenge, and if he hadn’t appeared, the people of Cang Village would have suffered. This trip solved the problem of Cang Village while also recruiting a free assistant in Central Plains City.

After Li Yifei left, Li Musheng suddenly felt a shock half a day later, and quickly took off his pants to check a certain part of himself. He would never forget Li Yifei’s words before leaving: "I’ve placed something inside you; now you can’t be a man anymore, but don’t worry, it’s just a test. You’ll recover naturally in seven days."

The first thing Li Musheng did was check below, shaking it a few times, but felt nothing. In a panic, he rushed upstairs and woke two young models. As they groggily came to, Li Musheng grabbed their hair and pushed their heads down.

More than ten minutes later, Li Musheng lay on the bed helplessly, while the two models were completely clueless.

Li Musheng felt a sense of hopelessness, lying on the bed weakly saying, "It’s over, it turns out to be true. He only patted me on the shoulder, how could this happen..."

At this moment, Li Musheng no longer had any thoughts of attacking Li Yifei, and he knew that he had encountered a higher level of skill. It took just one move to make him not a man anymore, and for Li Musheng, there was no fun left in life if he couldn’t be a man.

To Li Yifei, this was just a prank; although he could be a man now, he could only do so with Na Yi, while he dared not touch other women even if he wanted to...

With Li Musheng dealt with, Li Yifei made another trip to Wangwu Mountain, but found nothing this time. He encountered some Taoist priests, but none were the ones he was seeking. There were no true masters left in the mountain.

Leaving the mountain only took half a day for Li Yifei as he fully activated his True Qi, running through the forest at an impressive speed. It was a small mountain village surrounded by hills, with the sight stretching far.

Upon exiting, Li Yifei immediately took out his phone from his backpack; there was no signal in the mountain. Turning on the phone yielded no results and wasted its battery. Li Yifei planned to contact the tour guide to pick him up.

As soon as the phone turned on, numerous messages flooded in. A quick glance revealed greetings from women, but when he saw the most recent ones, Li Yifei’s eyes twitched. The latest message was from last night, where Xu Yingying asked him to call back as soon as possible.

Li Yifei frowned. Once the phone finished booting up, he quickly dialed Xu Yingying’s number.

The phone rang just once before it was answered, and Xu Yingying’s somewhat urgent voice came through: "Yifei, you finally turned on your phone. Where are you?"

Xu Yingying rarely sounded so flustered, prompting Li Yifei to ask urgently: "Did something happen at home?"

There was some noise on Xu Yingying’s end, causing her to raise her voice a bit, "Nothing’s wrong at home, it’s Xiaofei. Her flight was to the provincial city last night. After landing, she called Yiyi, saying she wanted to eat Sichuan cuisine and asked Yiyi to help prepare. But until now, Xiaofei hasn’t arrived home, and calling her shows that the phone is off!"

Upon hearing that Meng Xiaofei was missing, Li Yifei felt a jolt and immediately asked, "Are you sure Xiaofei didn’t go to a friend’s house or have some unexpected matters?"

Xu Yingying replied, "I contacted Xiaofei’s leader and colleagues. One colleague, who gets along well with Xiaofei, said she mentioned driving back to Mile City while changing clothes, as her family was waiting for dinner. The airport’s cameras showed Xiaofei leaving the airport after 6 p.m. yesterday. I also called Xiaofei’s family, but they didn’t receive any calls from her. I’ve already sent people to search in Mile City." freēnovelkiss.com

Missing since last night, Li Yifei checked his phone, and it was already nearing noon. Meng Xiaofei has been out of touch for nearly twenty hours.

Nearby, Su Mengxin recognized it was Li Yifei on the call and snatched the phone from Xu Yingying, saying urgently, "Yifei, where are you? If nothing major, come back first. Share your location with me, and I’ll arrange a plane to pick you up directly. I suspect the Sunx Family did this; we’ve been pushing them too hard lately, and they might be desperate. We all stay at home regularly, so the Sunx Family can’t act. Xiaofei is the only one outside, and she went missing in the provincial city last night..."

Li Yifei was also concerned that the Sunx Family might have kidnapped Meng Xiaofei, so he didn’t dawdle and said directly, "I’m near Wangwu Mountain. For the exact location, let me ask someone; then I’ll give it to you. You go ahead and contact the plane!"

Su Mengxin agreed, and Li Yifei hung up the phone, walked into the village, found someone to ask about his geographic location, sent the location to Su Mengxin, and then contacted the security at home, ordering them to form two teams, gear up, and head to the provincial city immediately. At the same time, they started reaching out to some of Meng Xiaofei’s friends for help.

While he was outside and being anxious was futile, Li Yifei remained calm in such moments, issuing orders one by one, causing the women to feel some relief.

The incident happened last night; Meng Xiaofei was supposed to arrive home quickly. Initially, not arriving home made everyone think it might have been traffic on the road or Meng Xiaofei had some sudden matters causing a delay, so they didn’t worry. But when it turned past ten o’clock, and Meng Xiaofei still hadn’t returned home, Su Yiyi started making calls, but the phone was already unreachable.

From this, it could be deduced that Meng Xiaofei was missing before ten o’clock.

While waiting for the plane, Li Yifei maintained communication via phone, as message after message came in. Using the Ye family’s connections, they found that none of the Public Security Bureau or police stations in the provincial city had detained anyone named Meng Xiaofei, and the major hospitals treating emergency patients last night didn’t have anyone named Meng Xiaofei. Even leveraging privileges, they checked the provincial city and Mile City’s large hotels and inns, and there was no record of Meng Xiaofei’s stay.

An hour later, a civilian helicopter landed. Li Yifei boarded the helicopter, which quickly ascended, heading for Mile City. During the flight, more information came in. The security team, along with members of the provincial city Ye Family, checked all the major road sections’ cameras from the airport where Meng Xiaofei might have passed, discovering that Meng Xiaofei exited the airport highway at 6:40 but didn’t go straight to the Outer Ring highway heading to Mile City. Instead, she veered off the airport highway towards the city.

Li Yifei then quickly coordinated personnel to explore city routes. Various intersection cameras played their roles, tracing the license plate to find that Meng Xiaofei visited a local specialty shop after leaving the highway, ordered several meals, took them to go, and drove away half an hour later. The car continued forward, returning to the highway heading to Mile City from the provincial city.

At the toll station, the video showed Meng Xiaofei paid the fee and entered the highway at 7:20. Cameras recorded that she was driving alone.

However, there were no cameras on the highway, and Mile City’s toll station didn’t capture her car arriving.

Taking the map, Li Yifei listened to Su Yiyi’s report over the phone,

After a few glances, Li Yifei said to Su Yiyi, "This stretch of highway has a total of four exits, Mile City exit, another prefecture-level city, and two county exits. Immediately find someone to check the footage of these three exits."

Su Yiyi replied, "Okay, I’ll make contact right away."

Half an hour later, feedback came back with no discovery of the car exiting the highway, confirming that Meng Xiaofei’s car wasn’t on the highway.

Vanished into thin air? Li Yifei heard this news and shook his head promptly. By then, the helicopter had covered half the distance. Switching to a satellite phone, he called Lin Qiong, who was already leading a team to the provincial city, setting up police forces along the way for investigation. One thing was certain: there was no trace of Meng Xiaofei’s car on the highway, nor was there any evidence of disruption, and no accidents occurred on the highway the previous night.

After ruling that out, Li Yifei questioned Lin Qiong, "Lin Qiong, are you sure Xiaofei’s car didn’t exit any highway exits?"

Lin Qiong replied, "There’s no feedback in the footage. Barriers and trenches are placed along the way; driving directly off the highway is almost impossible, but we can’t entirely dismiss this possibility. I’m conducting a two-way inspection."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "You’re the expert in tracking clues. Just remember, whatever happens, pursue it to the end, and if anyone obstructs, no matter who, ignore them. Have them come to me if they have anything to say, and I’ll talk to them!"

Lin Qiong stood firm in her convictions. When investigating others’ cases, Lin Qiong was always at the forefront, facing any challenges and obstacles courageously. Now, investigating a family member’s case, she would naturally be extra diligent. She faced challenges, as a deputy director of the Mile City Sub-bureau, yet hadn’t been promoted to director, meaning her rank was not high enough. Short-term contact with several brother units along the route mostly received no cooperation. Moreover, the highway system and local jurisdiction weren’t unified, requiring contact with the Provincial Department. Lin Qiong had reported it, but it sank without trace. In a moment of urgency, she directly led people to a few highway exits and used martial strength to access them. Subsequently, she received several calls from provincial city leaders criticizing her for lacking organizational discipline.

Lin Qiong didn’t care about these; her initial concern was that Meng Xiaofei might have some sudden business, going somewhere. After all, she traveled frequently, flying here and there, often unreachable for a day or two. Missing for less than twenty hours theoretically wasn’t long, but upon landing, she usually sent Su Yiyi a message, made a call, and checked in safely. Especially since she explicitly stated she was going home yesterday, yet didn’t.

As the investigation progressed, Lin Qiong became increasingly convinced that this large-scale mobilization was justified. A car mysteriously disappearing on a highway with no feedback along the way was the real abnormality.

The highway from Mile City to the provincial city is a terminus with no possibility to bypass Mile City and go to other cities, which limited the investigation scope. These peculiarities led Lin Qiong to conclude that something had indeed happened to Meng Xiaofei.

Li Yifei was aware of this, but the helicopter was at maximum speed, thanks to Su Mengxin leveraging her privileges. Otherwise, with aviation control in place, applying for a civil helicopter flight route couldn’t be done in a short time.
