Super Soldier in the City

"Haha, there’s no need for that, just make whatever is available. Okay, hubby, see you in a bit," Xu Yingying laughed. Li Yifei also smiled. From her voice, it was clear that Xu Yingying was in a good mood, and Xu Shanshan, who was beside her, seemed in high spirits too. Before hanging up, she was shouting for Li Yifei to make caramelized sweet potatoes, saying she craved them.

There were no sweet potatoes at home, so Li Yifei turned off the stove, took off his apron, grabbed his wallet, and prepared to go out to buy groceries. Since there were two extra people and they hadn’t seen each other for days, Li Yifei wanted to make some extra dishes. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Are you heading out?" Su Lio asked.

"Your Sister Yingying, Sister Shanshan... uh, just call them sisters, they’ve returned from their trip. I’ll make a few more dishes to make sure there’s enough to eat," Li Yifei said.

Su Lio replied, "I’ll go with you. Give me two minutes to grab a jacket."

"Sure! I’ll wait for you," Li Yifei said.

After they returned from grocery shopping, the Xu sisters also arrived a few minutes later. Xu Yingying’s belly was now visibly larger. Li Yifei had been away for half a month, and it was apparent at first glance that her belly had grown even more. After washing his hands, Li Yifei walked towards Xu Yingying, extending his hand to embrace the petite woman in his arms, saying, "Are you tired?"

"A bit, I’ve been feeling backache lately, and standing or sitting for too long is uncomfortable!" Xu Yingying said, caressing her belly with a face full of contentment.

Li Yifei lifted his hand to gently scratch Xu Yingying’s slightly chubby face, saying, "Go lie down for a while. After dinner, I’ll give you a massage."

"Great." Xu Yingying nodded quickly. Since becoming pregnant, her temperament had changed a bit. She was gentle before, but now even more motherly. Following Li Yifei’s suggestion, Xu Yingying went to lie on the sofa. Xu Shanshan dragged two suitcases in, glanced at Li Yifei, who blew her a kiss, which Yan Young didn’t see, but Su Lio and Zheng Hao did. Su Lio smirked and looked away.

Li Yifei chuckled, shaking his head as he resumed cooking.

Chu Xiaoyao had originally planned to return by noon, but she still had a class in the afternoon. It’s said that the teacher is very strict and takes attendance every class. To uphold her commitment to good study habits, Chu Xiaoyao ’reluctantly’ didn’t rush back at noon but decided to come home after class. Li Yifei reminded her to drive slowly and not to rush.

After the four of them finished lunch, Xu Shanshan stretched and went upstairs to rest. Su Lio turned off the TV and went upstairs with her phone. On the sofa, Xu Yingying lay her head on Li Yifei’s lap while he cut an apple and fed her a slice.

Li Yifei recounted the events of his recent trip to the United States to Xu Yingying. Hearing about how the Noah’s Ark Organization orchestrated such a sinister plot and directly sent drones to attack Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden, Xu Yingying’s expression changed. These people were too vicious! However, upon hearing how Li Yifei and the Holy Maiden managed to escape danger and gradually unveil the plots and schemes, Xu Yingying grasped Li Yifei’s hand and said, "As long as you’re okay, hubby!"

She was a sensible woman, naturally knowing not to say too much and understanding that some things had to be done. If she were in Li Yifei’s position, she would also do those things.

"Yes, I will. The baby is due soon, and I’ll try to stay home during this time with you all," Li Yifei said.

Xu Yingying smiled softly, nodding lightly. After chatting for a while, Li Yifei began to massage Xu Yingying to help alleviate some of the discomfort she felt due to her enlarging belly and the weight she had to bear.

Xu Shanshan often gave her massages to ease her discomfort, but... it was never as satisfying as the massages from Li Yifei, at least on a psychological level.

After a while, Xu Yingying closed her eyes and fell asleep. Li Yifei gently stood up, brought a pillow for her to rest on, and stayed nearby, handling some emails and other matters.

According to Li Yifei, Ayurhan still hadn’t heeded his advice and continued planning to declare independence and establish a nation. Li Yifei frowned at this. If he went there, Ayurhan might drop the idea, but Li Yifei didn’t want to go. So after some thought, Li Yifei sent a message to Wu Shuwei, reminding her to pay attention to activities related to oil extraction projects in the areas controlled by Ayurhan. He warned that if Ayurhan went too far and provoked the discontent of the disputed countries, that area would become dangerous, and Wu Shuwei’s company might incur losses. Of course, there was also a shadow of the Li family involved, but after returning, Li Yifei had transferred most of the Li family’s interests, so there was almost no entanglement left.

Open source is certainly good, but one must have the ability to protect it.

As for the two African generals, with the support of weapons and money, they’re quite flourishing right now, even hiring several powerful mercenaries to fight for them.

War... to put it bluntly, it’s a money-burning game. Li Yifei took on this matter, though he’s not the one in charge; other relevant personnel are constantly planning and even offering strategies. Li Yifei is currently only tasked with keeping Bare-ass General and General Lion in check.

Gaining profit is what really matters, Li Yifei isn’t dreaming of controlling a country, especially when it’s a large country; that would be just a joke.

Regarding the situation in the United States, Li Yifei must discuss it with Murong Yuanqing and others. At the time, the details were unclear, or perhaps Li Yifei himself wasn’t involved, so Murong Yuanqing and others wouldn’t say much. Because it’s mysterious, it seems somewhat terrifying—a hidden organization silently growing strong enough to recruit two elders from the world’s largest organization, Holy War Organization, and dare to act during this period. Therefore, the Noah’s Ark Organization must not be weak; otherwise, when the Holy War Organization exerts force, wouldn’t the opposing side be annihilated in an instant?

Similarly, due to Murong Zheng’s presence, Li Yifei feels the opposing side may not have a good impression of Huaxia. There could be countless people in Huaxia who are members of Noah’s Ark.

Thinking of this, Li Yifei sighed lightly, about to put down his phone when he saw a call from Chu Xiaoyao. Li Yifei stood up, walked to the side to answer, and heard Chu Xiaoyao sounding anxious, saying to Li Yifei, "Honey, can you come here? I... I hit someone!"

"Where are you? Are you okay?" Li Yifei asked immediately.

"I... I’m okay. I’m at the intersection of Democracy Road and Jianguo Road. I hit a woman, and now several people have shown up, trapping me in the car, demanding money!" Chu Xiaoyao said while Li Yifei could hear yelling nearby. He quickly grabbed his car keys and headed out, saying, "Lock the car door, protect yourself, I’m coming right away, also call the police."

"Okay, okay, honey, come quickly, these people are so fierce!" Chu Xiaoyao sniffled and said.

Li Yifei comforted her while opening the door. Xu Yingying heard the noise and sat up to ask, "Yifei, where are you going?"

"There’s some trouble with Xiaoyao, I’m going to get her, you go back to sleep!" Li Yifei said, closing the door, and quickly went to the garage. Within a minute, he was already on the main road. The place where Chu Xiaoyao hit someone wasn’t far, smoothly he could get there in less than ten minutes, so Li Yifei drove at the fastest speed.

A few people surrounded Chu Xiaoyao’s small car, some men and women; the men looked young and strong, and the women were two older ones but also stout and heavy. They were slapping Chu Xiaoyao’s car window, threatening, "Open the door, don’t think you’re safe hiding inside, you hit someone, quickly pay up!"

"It wasn’t intentional... I didn’t say I wouldn’t pay!" Chu Xiaoyao looked aggrieved. She had rushed back after class, thinking about Xu Yingying, and went to buy some snacks since Xu Yingying liked spicy food these days. As she drove back, a person suddenly dashed out from the side with a bang, and that person flew out. Fortunately, she didn’t run over them directly, but when she saw the condition of the person, she was shocked because the person was already covered in blood and not moving.

Chu Xiaoyao was terribly frightened, her face turning pale. It took her several seconds to snap back to reality, pulling out her phone to call for emergency services 120. But at that moment, a man appeared on the other side of the car, looking in his forties, shouting at Chu Xiaoyao, "You killed my mom, murderer!"

After that shout, several more people appeared, surrounding Chu Xiaoyao, and began cursing in confusion, one woman’s hand was shaken off by Chu Xiaoyao, she ran back to the car and called Li Yifei.

After hanging up, those people looked fiercer, and more people gathered around, completely encircling the area. Chu Xiaoyao was bewildered, she wasn’t focused earlier, thinking about things, but she was driving on the main road, not fast; logically, she shouldn’t have hit someone like that...

With a bang, a man with a grim expression shattered the car window, reached in and grabbed Chu Xiaoyao’s shoulder, causing her a burst of pain and shock. She hurried to the passenger side, shaking off the hand. As soon as the window was smashed, the man quickly pulled the door open. Chu Xiaoyao heard a flood of curses, and even passersby were cursing. With the people’s insults, more onlookers believed that Chu Xiaoyao was speeding in the busy area, causing the fatal crash.

Chu Xiaoyao was only terrified, she shrank back onto the rear seat, desperately shaking her head, helplessly trying to explain that she wasn’t speeding. Some of them broke the rear window and tried to open the door to drag her out, but Chu Xiaoyao clung tightly to the door, and then one man directly yanked her hair.

Chu Xiaoyao had never suffered such treatment. The sharp pain from her hair made her scream and let go, and her body was pulled out through the window. She felt a hand slap her face with a loud smack, her vision blurred, losing balance, and she fell towards the ground.
