Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2142 - 2205: Lu Youx

In short, Li Yifei is just someone here to protect Wu Shuwei, having nothing to do with the entire company. If others don’t pay attention to him, he doesn’t bother with anyone either, quietly passing these few days of signing contracts is better than anything.

In fact, during these few days, Li Yifei hadn’t seen Wu Shuwei many times either. As soon as she arrived at the station, she started working, often working late into the night, while Li Yifei seemed to be idle, indulging in eating and drinking, and sleeping once he returned to his room.

It’s not that he didn’t want to do something else; he just couldn’t get involved even if he wanted to.

Getting back to the point, this Lu Youx made Li Yifei feel uncomfortable; generally, Li Yifei wouldn’t have a prejudice against someone unfamiliar to him right away; at least very few people have that ’honor’.

Seeing Lu Youx approaching, a few security guards immediately stopped, trying to hide behind them; unfortunately, Lu Youx had already seen them. He walked over with a stern face, holding a folder. It seemed like he had just finished a meeting. He glanced at Li Yifei, then directly ignored him, glaring at the security guards, and said, "What do you have? Hand it over!"

"Nothing... nothing, Chief Lu." The security guards stammered.

"Did you go hunting?" Lu Youx directly pushed aside a security guard, making him stagger back. The antelope in his hand fell to the ground, Lu Youx’s face turned even uglier, and he cursed directly, "Who gave you the right to hunt? Haven’t you all undergone training? You’re not allowed to hunt here casually, don’t you know that?"

"Chief Lu... we were on patrol, and this antelope jumped out by itself and accidentally died, we couldn’t just leave it outside, or the problem would be more severe, so we brought it back." An older security guard said.

"Do you think I’m a three-year-old kid?" Lu Youx’s face even had a grim look, he rebuked and punched that security guard, saying, "You came up with such a poor excuse? You are here for security, not to cause trouble. We have a clear agreement with the local government not to hunt casually, not even an antelope, even if an elephant charges in, damages property, you’re not allowed to hunt it. Don’t tell me you don’t know about these agreements!"

"We know, we know!" The security guards answered in a low voice.’

"You know and still violate? Damn it, is no one managing you? Who is your leader, call them over, there must be a rectification today!" Lu Youx obviously didn’t intend to let these security guards off easily. Li Yifei stood aside watching, frowning deeply; it wasn’t really a big deal, although it was a violation, but in such a place, killing an antelope, even killing a lion isn’t a big deal, it’s not like it’s in a protected area. Li Yifei was particularly annoyed by Lu Youx’s stance, even if a mistake was made, no need to berate them bringing family into it.

The security guards were obviously intimidated, each with their heads down, neither going to fetch their captain nor arguing.

"Why, my words aren’t working?" Lu Youx’s eyebrow twitched, about to take action.

Li Yifei spoke up, "Lu Youx, the antelope was killed by me."

Lu Youx had raised his hand, just about to strike, when he heard Li Yifei’s words, he turned around briskly, eyes wide, and strode over to Li Yifei, raising his hand to strike, but Li Yifei grabbed Lu Youx’s hand.

Lu Youx struggled hard but couldn’t break free; Li Yifei snorted lightly, letting go. Lu Youx was just about to exert force when his body suddenly lost balance, staggering back a few steps, pointing at Li Yifei and saying, "You dare resist? Damn it, you’re just a security guard, yet you dare resist!"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Li Yifei sneered, "Even if I’m a security guard, you can’t touch me, who do you think you are."

Lu Youx spat, turning to order the security guards, "Beat him up for me, and I won’t hold you accountable!"

The security guards immediately became troubled upon hearing this. They glanced at Li Yifei, shook their heads together, and said, "Chief Lu, we did it, it has nothing to do with Mr. Li. If you must punish, then go ahead, we promise we won’t dare again."

"Oh, so you’re all in cahoots, covering for each other now, what, playing games with me?" Lu Youx, a northerner, spoke with a hint of Northeast accent, had a bit of a temper, and after flaunting his power in South Africa for so many years, naturally wasn’t afraid of anyone, even if he knew Li Yifei had a bit of background, so what, this is Africa. The count of locals and adversaries Lu Youx had done away with was beyond counting on one hand.

Originally, he didn’t have much resentment against Li Yifei, but unfortunately, it was Wu Shuwei, whom Li Yifei was protecting, whom Lu Youx had an eye on. The latter had been single for many years, constantly had women around, with beautiful ones in all shades available, as long as you had money. Women from any country in the world aren’t beyond your reach. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

However, this time Lu Youx felt an opportunity had come; he had long known about Wu Shuwei, occasionally seen her in meetings, but what really attracted Lu Youx was Wu Shuwei’s family background. Her father is still young, able to rise in the next reshuffle, and might even serve two terms, which wouldn’t just be a simple step up.

If I can really win her over, that would be fantastic. Lu You thought he could ride the wave and rise to great heights.

So this time when Wu Shuwei came to Africa, Lu You had everything planned. He waited here in advance, waiting for the arrival of the one and only, and then fully displayed his mature and steady side: gentle and considerate in all aspects, handling things in an orderly manner. He even had a series of plans to win over the beauty’s heart.

However, the busy Wu Shuwei hadn’t noticed any of this. Once she entered a work state, she became a workaholic, ignoring much of the outside world. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have gone days without contacting Li Yifei.

Li Yifei smirked disdainfully and said, "You better watch your words. I’m not your employee, and you don’t get to control me. If you dare to mess with me, I’ll hit you without hesitation."

"Thinking you’re big just because you know a couple of moves? Kid, this is Africa, here in Congo. If you dare to touch me, I can ensure you never return to Huaxia," Lu You retaliated, unafraid of Li Yifei’s threat.

The security guards looked at each other, wanting to advise Li Yifei to mind his words. This Chief Lu was indeed a capable person; provoking him would bring no good. But they were too afraid to say anything, worried that they’d bring trouble onto themselves.

I don’t believe in this nonsense, thought Li Yifei, moving a few steps forward. His strong presence forced Lu You to step back, causing him to be secretly alert. Indeed, this Li Yifei had some skills. Despite being experienced and unfazed even with a gun to his head, he still felt intimidated under Li Yifei’s gaze.

Damn it, this jerk. Lu You cursed inwardly and glanced at the guards. They seemed unwilling to act, so he couldn’t help but snort and say, "You refuse to act, huh? So dangerous people trespass in the company, and you’re just standing there? Very well, tomorrow you all better pack up and get lost!"

The security guards’ faces immediately changed. Just as they were about to retort, they heard Li Yifei say, "What’s the matter? You don’t dare to deal with me, so you take it out on the security? Lu You, you really think you’re someone, huh?"

"You’ll find out soon enough if I’m someone to reckon with. Li Yifei, right? I’ll make sure you pay," Lu You said with a sinister tone, sniffing.

"What are you all doing?" During the standoff, Wu Shuwei, accompanied by several people, exited the nearby building. Upon seeing Li Yifei facing off with Lu You, she quickly walked over.

When Lu You heard Wu Shuwei’s voice, his expression immediately changed. The previous malicious energy vanished, replaced by a smiling face. He turned to Wu Shuwei, "Shuwei, weren’t you doing some calculations?"

"We went through it once. I asked them to recalculate a few times. We have other things to do," Wu Shuwei responded, her voice void of joy or sorrow, similar to how she was when Li Yifei first met her. After replying, she looked at Li Yifei and asked, "Yifei, what’s going on? Did something happen?"

Li Yifei remained silent, and Lu You quickly said, "It’s nothing, Shuwei. You’ve been busy all day and must be tired. Come, let me take you back for some rest, maybe even a nap. I’ll have the dining hall prepare dinner a little later."

As he spoke, Lu You prepared to escort Wu Shuwei back to rest.

Meanwhile, Li Yifei crossed his arms, tilting his head, and watched Wu Shuwei with a calm expression.

Wu Shuwei was indeed quite tired, having been busy all day. But upon seeing Li Yifei’s expression, her heart skipped a beat, and instinctively she took a step aside, distancing herself from Lu You. She said, "I can return by myself; no need to escort me. Chief Lu, you’ve also been busy; you should rest too."

Lu You felt a bit embarrassed but quickly recovered, chuckling, "I’m fine. I work out regularly and am in great shape. This kind of work is nothing, come on, I’ll take you back. It’s not far."

"Just a moment!" Wu Shuwei said, sidestepping Lu You and taking a few steps towards Li Yifei. Upon seeing Li Yifei’s expressionless face, Wu Shuwei realized there had been a conflict, so she said, "Yifei, I’m sorry for the past few days. I’ve been busy, so..."

"No worries, I’ve been wandering around on my own. It’s not often I come to Africa; I enjoy the exotic atmosphere. I even shot an antelope earlier. I’ll prepare it, and you can come over for dinner. I’ll save a leg for you," Li Yifei chuckled.

Seeing that Li Yifei wasn’t upset, Wu Shuwei also smiled and nodded, saying, "Alright, but I prefer something lighter. Is it just the leg?"

"Come and see for yourself; you’ll be impressed." Li Yifei said confidently. Wu Shuwei nodded, "I’ll go back and rest for a bit and then come find you later."
