Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2034 - 2097: Rivals-in-Love Alliance

Guo Qilin felt disheartened and utterly exhausted. After leaving the hospital, doctors repeatedly confirmed that he had no physiological diseases. The reason for his problem was likely psychological, and they advised him to see a psychologist.

"See a goddamn psychologist? I’m perfectly mentally healthy. Just yesterday I had fun with two girls. But just now... just now I was cursed by that terrifying man, and that’s how I ended up like this."

Whew, Guo Qilin thought of that man and the woman behind him. He couldn’t muster any thoughts of revenge. It was all because of his bad luck, messing with Liang Zicheng and Yi Long for no reason. Uh, messing with?

Guo Qilin realized this and suddenly slapped himself. The slap landed on his already swollen and painful face, making him yelp and squat down, covering his face.

"Ouch! That hurts!" Guo Qilin shouted.

A nearby elderly woman visiting the hospital gave him a strange look, deliberately taking a detour before walking past him. Only when she was at a distance did she dare look back, muttering, "A grown lad, probably caught something unclean. Otherwise, why would he slap himself like that?" Evidently, the seasoned elderly woman had seen through Guo Qilin’s facade.

Once he composed himself, Guo Qilin quickly took out his phone, dialed a number, and as soon as the call connected, hurriedly said, "Big brother, tonight’s operation is canceled, cancel it right away. There’s a master on the other side!"

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds before an explosive, angry voice could be heard through the screen: "Damn you, Guo Qilin, where the hell have you been? Did you even check the time before telling me this? My team is already in deep shit."

Ah? Guo Qilin instinctively pulled the phone away and looked at the time, realizing it was already past midnight. He had been messing around for several hours, implying things on the other side had already concluded.

Guo Qilin hurriedly asked, "What’s going on, big brother? I... I ran into some trouble here, so I got delayed."

"Screw you," the other side cursed, slamming the phone down with a bang.

To be honest, Guo Qilin was pretty stubborn; he usually didn’t back down. However, this big brother on the phone was someone he respected and somewhat feared. Hearing such anger from him, Guo Qilin quickly hailed a cab back. Half an hour later, he arrived at a villa. He ran inside, opened the door, and saw the room filled with people who didn’t look pleased. Among them were people Guo Qilin knew, regardless of whether they were older or younger. He had to call them ’brother’ since their families were much more powerful than his.

Seeing Guo Qilin barging in recklessly, a bald man seemed poised to scold him but, noticing the handprints on Guo’s face and his poor state, held back. He pointed at him and asked, "What the hell were you up to? Sleeping with someone’s wife and got beaten up?"

Guo Qilin shivered, lowered his head, and stood submissively in front of the man, feeling like crying.

"Dammit, speak up," the bald man said, irritated.

Guo Qilin then recounted what had happened earlier. After listening, the bald man stood up abruptly, eyes bulging. He raised his hand and slapped Guo Qilin across the ear. Guo only heard a buzzing sound in his head and the world spun before he thudded to the ground. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The bald man ignored him. After beating Guo, he paced around, looking menacing. The scar next to his brow was intimidating, wriggling like an earthworm. His throat moved slightly before he suddenly cursed, "I knew it, dammit. How could Xu Chao and his crew be taken down by those two punks Liang Zicheng and Yi Long? Of course there’s some trickery involved!"

On the sofa nearby, a man who had been fiddling with his phone stopped, his face showing a hint of shadow. He sneered and said, "He really shows up everywhere, huh? Does he really think he’s some big shot?"

If Li Yifei were here, he would instantly recognize this person—He Zhenyu, also a descendant of a major family in the Capital City, considered one of the young masters in the upper circles, a former suitor of Xiao Ling’er. He is also in this villa; originally the Xiao Family and the He Family were meant to marry, but Li Yifei disrupted it, not only making Xiao Ling’er his wife, but it’s said they even have a child.

Beside him is another old acquaintance of Li Yifei, the former suitor of Zheng Yuling—Chen Fangzhou.

The fact that these people gathered together, upon hearing Li Yifei’s name, old and new grudges surged within Chen Fangzhou. If not for Li Yifei, that seductive Zheng Yuling would have already become his wife. Although Chen Fangzhou may not have liked her much, he was willing to sacrifice for the family. Marrying wouldn’t stop him from having fun outside.

Unfortunately, everything was ruined by Li Yifei. The large bald man is named Gu Yapeng; if Li Yifei didn’t recognize this name, he would certainly know Gu Yandong, as Gu Yapeng is Gu Yandong’s brother, older by three years. He followed an old master to learn martial arts, returning home every few years. The two didn’t grow up together and lacked brotherly feelings. However, Gu Yapeng was aware of Gu Yandong’s affairs, and initially had the ability to pursue Su Mengxin. Many in the Gu Family even discussed that matter; Gu Yapeng was quite confident, boasting to elders that he could win over Su Mengxin without family help.

Of course, later events proved he was indeed bragging, as Su Mengxin ended up with Li Yifei. This was partly due to Gu Yapeng not taking action. At least that’s how Gu Yapeng saw it.

Old Master Su is aging and about to retire, while Gu Yapeng’s father is in his prime career phase. If the events of the past happened now, Gu Yapeng would be more confident.

Hearing that Li Yifei, who beat his brother and snatched his prospective wife, appeared in Haicheng, Gu Yapeng was furious, his eyes filled with rage. His anger spilled out, creating a fearful aura that made everyone feel uneasy, and many even felt weak at the knees, as if they might kneel.

At this moment, a tall, handsome man about 1.85m stood up, stomped his foot, and said, "Yapeng, calm down, few here can handle this aura."

"Hmph." Reminded, Gu Yapeng snorted, retracting his intimidating presence slightly, but still full of resentment. Turning, he glanced disdainfully at Guo Qilin, blaming him for failing tasks given, causing trouble instead. If Li Yifei and Su Mengxin had been dealt with sooner, they would have sent more people or avoided this. Now, Xu Chao and others were caught, and only a few useless minions returned.

Wei Ziang, the handsome man, was also bullied by Li Yifei and harbored deep hatred. Though it happened some time ago, seeing Li Yifei suddenly appear to ruin their plans reignited his anger.

He sneered coldly, saying, "With Xu Chao’s personality, he’s likely spilled everything by now. We can’t expect him to keep any secrets for us."

"The person you found is unreliable. Lacking strength, but full of arrogance, thinking he’s something special, damn it." Gu Yapeng cursed, yet Wei Ziang remained unfazed, smiling lightly as he said, "Everyone agreed to choose him. We couldn’t directly handle the matter ourselves; he walked in willingly, so we took advantage, and yet it ended up in failure."

"You two stop for a moment. We need a strategy to deal with Li Yifei. We don’t know how he connected with Liang Zicheng and Yi Long. If they found him, considering his arrogant nature, he’d likely intervene. If we encounter him, we might consider avoidance," Chen Fangzhou suggested. His temperament had grown steadier over time, unlike his previous flamboyant self, offering his advice amidst the arguments.

Gu Yapeng whirled, glaring at Chen Fangzhou, "You want me to avoid him?"

"I find Fangzhou’s proposal feasible!" He Zhenyu spoke, having a good relationship with Chen Fangzhou and an average relationship with the others. Being part of the same circle, it’s natural for him to side with Chen Fangzhou. Both suffered directly due to Li Yifei; robbed of their fiancé status, they fared worse than others, holding deep-seated hatred for Li Yifei, but hadn’t had the chance for revenge.

Gu Yapeng’s finger joints cracked loudly as he slowly released his grip, casting a glance at everyone, before slowly sitting back, retrieving a sword from beside him. Unsheathing it with a sharp ’clang,’ the sword was visibly high-quality, razor-sharp, enough to cut through slender steel bars. Gu Yapeng stayed silent, yet imaginations ran as all pondered whether the sword could cleave Li Yifei’s head in two.

"Hoo!" Wei Ziang exhaled deeply, looked around at everyone, then eyed Guo Qilin sprawled on the ground, murmuring. He said, "Get up and explain what happened in detail."

Guo Qilin, slapped so hard his eardrums nearly burst, half his face and head throbbed with pain. However, he dared not remain down, struggling to stand and recount the entire incident in detail.
