Chapter 1095: Chapter 1138: You are Mu Fei
At this mont, Li Yifei’s car had already reached a small town, prompting him to change the subject. "Miss Reiko, we have arrived at a small town. There should be places to stay here. Would you like to get off?"
Aoki Reiko looked even more surprised, thinking that Li Yifei, being a businessman, should seize the opportunity to converse more with her at this ti. Instead, he seed to want her to leave. The street lights were on now, allowing her to see Li Yifei more clearly. She scrutinized him and suddenly exclaid, "Are you Mr. Mu Fei?"
Li Yifei’s heart skipped a beat. He truly didn’t expect Aoki Reiko to recognize him at this mont. Detecting a hint of doubt in her voice, he quickly asked, confused, "Miss Reiko? What are you saying? Who is Mr. Mu Fei?"
"Stop the car... you!" Aoki Reiko urgently called out.
Li Yifei pulled over to the roadside, his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head to look at Aoki Reiko and said with a smile, "Miss Reiko, do you want to get off now?"
Aoki Reiko raised her hand and turned on the car’s light, examining Li Yifei again. Her gaze revealed confusion as the Li Yifei in front of her resembled Mr. Mu Fei by eighty percent, yet there was a twenty percent disparity.
"Miss Reiko, what’s the matter?" Li Yifei frowned slightly, a look of "confusion" on his face as he watched Aoki Reiko.
Aoki Reiko bit her lip and said, "Are you really not... Mr. Mu Fei?"
"I am Li Yifei. Miss Reiko, would you like to see my ID?"
"That... may I take a look?" Aoki Reiko was actually eager to see.
Li Yifei inwardly panicked, although Aoki Reiko had not confird who he was, it was clear she was suspicious. This was not a good start. He never imagined Aoki Reiko would co to Huaxia and, by such coincidence, et him.
"How interesting, Miss Reiko. Although I don’t know who this Mr. Mu Fei is, to clear your doubts, I will let you take a look," he conceded.
Aoki Reiko took the ID card handed over by Li Yifei and looked it over carefully. Although she couldn’t recognize all the characters, she scrutinized the photo of Li Yifei carefully. Huaxia’s ID photos were usually less flattering which made it even harder to discern.
Indeed, there was a reason Aoki Reiko recognized Li Yifei so quickly. During the last period of ti they spent together, due to heavy exposure in the sea, even though his makeup was made of special materials, so of his real features were exposed. However, Aoki Reiko hadn’t paid much attention to Li Yifei’s changes back then. After he left, the image that remained in Aoki Reiko’s mind was the last appearance of Li Yifei, which currently looked almost the sa, so upon seeing Li Yifei now, she recognized him as Mu Fei.
However, Li Yifei’s composure made her hesitate to confirm. After all, this Li Yifei had never shown any indication of recognizing her, and encountering him in Huaxia also made it completely unbelievable for her.
At this point, Li Yifei chuckled, "Oh, I see now. Miss Reiko, you must have mistaken
for soone else. What a coincidence."
"Yes, I am really sorry," Aoki Reiko smiled apologetically, adding, "I really do look like him."
"Is that so? Well, there are many people in the world who look alike. But from your reaction, Miss Reiko, it seems Mr. Mu Fei must have a deep relationship with you."
This comnt suddenly made Aoki Reiko’s face look sowhat uncomfortable. Indeed, she couldn’t clearly define her feelings for Mu Fei. Normally, that guy used her to steal important technology from her nation and even assaulted her; she should utterly despise Mu Fei.
But within her hatred for Mu Fei, there was another feeling, especially since Mu Fei risked his life to save her from nearly being blown up by a plane. In the sea, Mu Fei gave her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and also the scene on the boat where Li Yifei tried to assault her, these mories were unforgettable for her.
Thus, her feelings for Mu Fei were truly complicated. When she saw Mu Fei just now, her initial reaction was excitent, only now followed by hatred – implying that her love for Mu Fei perhaps outweighed her hate.
"Miss Reiko, I apologize, I shouldn’t have brought that up," Li Yifei stated, interrupting Aoki Reiko’s thoughts. She gently shook her head, looked at Li Yifei again, and displayed a sweet smile, noting, "It’s okay, Mr. Li. This town is too small; I don’t want to get off here. Can you take
to a bigger city?"
At this mont, Li Yifei really wanted to drop Aoki Reiko right there, but this might only arouse more suspicion. So, he smiled and replied, "Sure, that would be great. I feel quite lonely driving alone, having Miss Reiko to talk to would be a delightful thing."
"Thank you, Mr. Li," Aoki Reiko smiled sweetly again.
Li Yifei started the car again, but he inwardly groaned. Aoki Reiko’s suspicion was clear, and it was significant. If he couldn’t dispel her suspicions, she might very well co looking for him again. Now, unlike in Japan, he couldn’t simply run away and escape it all.
Aoki Reiko spoke first, "Mr. Li, it’s so late now, where are you going?"
Li Yifei replied naturally, "I’m going ho now."
"May I ask, where is Mr. Li’s ho?"
At this point, Li Yifei couldn’t hide it anymore. Even though Aoki Reiko was Japanese, his identity would beco increasingly well-known. So he honestly said, "I live in Mile City, just a few dozen kiloters from here."
"Mile City? I’ve never been there before. Perhaps, Mr. Li, you could take
to Mile City. If you have ti, I would appreciate it if you could be my guide."
"I’m really sorry, I’m quite busy these days and probably won’t have the ti to entertain Miss Reiko. However, since Miss Reiko is an honored guest, perhaps my wife could guide you instead."
Aoki Reiko was taken aback, "Mr. Li, you are already married?"
"Yes, I’ve been married for over a year, and I already have two daughters."
"You’ve been married for just over a year and already have two daughters?" Aoki Reiko couldn’t seem to do the math.
"Hehe, though I only have one legal wife, I also have several lovers who have borne my children."
"Oh? Mr. Li, isn’t that sowhat inappropriate?"
"That’s just the kind of person I am. I have feelings too, and once they are ford, I can’t bear to abandon them."
"Really? But doesn’t that make you even less responsible?"
Li Yifei shrugged, "Everyone has their own lifestyle. At least for now, it feels quite right."
"Well, that’s your personal life, I won’t pry further."
"Right, let’s talk about you. With such a status, how co you are here alone?" This was what Li Yifei wanted to know.
Aoki Reiko looked at Li Yifei and slowly said, "Recently, soone ca to Japan to talk business with a friend of mine. His na is Mu Fei, and he looks a lot like you. My friend and I took him traveling. We had a great ti. In our hearts, he is a great man—humorous and amusing. After an incident that made
wary of strangers, surprisingly, I felt comfortable around him and enjoyed chatting with him. We even argued at tis; he’s genuinely one of the most interesting n I’ve t."
"What happened next?" Despite feeling a chill down his spine, Li Yifei still asked like a keen listener.
Aoki Reiko continued, "Then a lot of police and military personnel ca to investigate us. At that ti, I found them annoying as they made our guest uncomfortable. But who would have thought he was actually a major spy, sneaking into our country to steal crucial technology housed right in our RV? Ironically, I kept covering for him, helping him pass many checkpoints. Don’t you think I was foolish?" Saying this, Aoki Reiko gave a bitter smile.
Li Yifei said, "You weren’t foolish. Even as the heiress of Aoki Group, you couldn’t possibly have noticed those spies; they’re experts at concealnt."
"Perhaps. And after that, things got even more spectacular. Yes, I have to say spectacular. These scenes, I’d only expect to see in a Hollywood blockbuster. Surrounded by military and police, I even saw senior ninjas. Being Japanese myself, it was only then I realized that we really do have senior ninjas in our country, and it’s not just sothing out of legends."
"There were actually ninjas? They must be quite formidable?" Li Yifei looked genuinely excited.
Seeing Li Yifei’s excitent, Aoki Reiko felt inexplicably lancholic but continued to narrate the day’s events, having recounted them many tis to the military previously. Back then, she spoke with hatred and simply stated the facts, which was nothing like now, where she used her true emotions to recount.
Aoki Reiko softly said, "The ninjas are quite formidable. There were four ninjas attacking Mu Fei alone. Their greatest skill is to conceal themselves, and it was dark at the ti. I thought those four ninjas would surely capture or kill him, but unexpectedly, he managed to kill all four ninjas by himself. He really is incredible." As she said this, her eyes sparkled with an unusual light.
