Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Revenge
The next day, Xu Yingying asked Li Yifei to drive her to the company. She had a feeling that if Li Yifei were to spend ti with Xu Shanshan, the two would end up having even more outrageous fun. However, if Xu Shanshan went out on her own, she wouldn’t stir up much trouble. So, today, she decisively told Li Yifei to go to work.
Today, Xu Yingying didn’t submit her letter of resignation directly to the head office, as she still had so matters to deal with. For her, it was essential to complete everything she started, and even if she was leaving, she wanted to finish all her tasks.
Busy until after six o’clock, Xu Yingying finally left the company. By then, there were hardly a few people left in the building. Only Li Yifei was waiting in the logistics departnt, idly playing computer gas.
Xu Yingying called out to him, and the two went down the elevator together, heading straight to the underground parking lot.
Just as they were about to get into their car, suddenly, six n rushed out, each wielding wooden sticks or iron rods, quickly surrounding the two of them.
"Who are you?" Xu Yingying, as a company president, remained composed and coolly eyed the six n.
One of them, a thirty-sothing-year-old with a full beard, slapped a baseball bat in the palm of his left hand and sneered, "You don’t need to know who we are. But I can make one thing clear—we’ve been sent by Qin Shaodong."
"Qin Shaodong? I don’t know him. You’ve made a mistake," Xu Yingying frowned, unable to recall knowing anyone nad Qin Shaodong.
"Chick, stop playing dumb. Our Young Master Qin said he wants to take you back. You better get ready to receive his favor," said the bearded man.
"Ha ha..." The other five n laughed boisterously.
Li Yifei now realized that these six n were the ones hired by those young masters they had fought with two days ago at Hualong Temple. It was easy for them to rember Xu Yingying’s license plate number and find her. As brazen as Qin Shaodong was in tracking down the owner of the car, he should have known who Xu Yingying was. Still, they dared to take action against her, which indicated their audacity wasn’t ordinary.
Li Yifei didn’t want Xu Yingying to know that he’d gotten into a fight while taking Xu Shanshan out. He imdiately glared and barked, "Get lost!"
"Pretty cocky, kid. No wonder you dared to hit Young Master Qin, but today, you won’t be so lucky. Attack!" The bearded man shouted, taking the lead and swinging his bat towards Li Yifei’s head, his strike full of lethal intent.
Xu Yingying let out a terrified scream. Even with her poise, facing these unreasonable thugs, she was defenseless, instinctively shrieking. If the bat hit Li Yifei’s head, it wouldn’t have to kill him—a concussion would be unavoidable.
Li Yifei didn’t regard these n as a threat; he dodged the bat and with a swift kick, sent the bearded man tumbling to the ground.
It was like a tiger amongst sheep. With fists and kicks, every blow was solid, every kick bone-crunching. Although the thugs held weapons, they stood no chance, unable to even brush the hem of Li Yifei’s clothes.
Li Yifei, not wanting these n to spout nonsense and provoke Xu Yingying’s curiosity, controlled his strength in his punches. He didn’t want to knock them down completely, which would necessitate capturing and interrogating them, so he targeted the most painful parts of their bodies, inflicting pain without crippling their ability to move.
Soon, the thugs couldn’t bear the pain and recognized they were no match for Li Yifei. Rather than continue to suffer, they decided temporary retreat was preferable, planning to find another way to get back at Li Yifei later.
"Retreat!" The bearded man yelled, and his n imdiately dropped their weapons and rushed into a van, speeding out of the underground parking lot in the blink of an eye.
Xu Yingying stared, dumbfounded. She had thought that the six n surrounding them spelled doom but never expected Li Yifei to single-handedly drive them all away. He was truly formidable.
"These guys, I have no idea where they popped up from, and this Qin character, it’s all just so inexplicable," Li Yifei muttered before turning to Xu Yingying to fawn over her, "President Xu, I hope that didn’t frighten you just now?"
Xu Yingying shook her head, gazing at Li Yifei for a long ti without blinking, which made him rather uncomfortable. He avoided her stare, asking, "President Xu, what’s wrong?"
Xu Yingying crossed her arms and said, "You really are impressive. With your skills, yet you chose to be a security guard—it truly is a waste of talent."
Li Yifei shrugged, responding, "Being skilled isn’t all that useful. I don’t want to get involved with the underworld, so being a security guard it is. But luckily, you saw potential in , allowing
to beco a white-collar worker."
Xu Yingying gave Li Yifei another look, then opened the car door and got in. She suddenly felt that Li Yifei was no ordinary person, capable of things beyond an average person. She hadn’t genuinely paid attention to him before, but now, she was quite curious about Li Yifei’s past.
However, unlike Xu Shanshan, who would ask whatever ca to her mind, Xu Yingying kept her questions to herself, her mind already burdened with too many concerns to spare the energy to delve into Li Yifei’s life. "Why would those people go out of their way to trouble us?" With everything happening, Xu Yingying was sensitive to the significance of such an incident.
Li Yifei gave a wry smile, replying, "I have no idea. Who knows who this Qin person is? I certainly don’t recognize him."
Xu Yingying frowned slightly. Li Yifei had already continued, "President Xu, could this be soone from the headquarters trying to force you to leave?"
Xu Yingying had already thought of this, and her expression grew even graver. She said, "They want
to leave, but would they really use such thods?"
"That’s not necessarily true, President Xu. You’re so popular within the company. Everyone supports you. And it’s well known across both the subsidiary and the headquarters that Huayang wouldn’t have achieved its current level without you. Now they want to take over this subsidiary. What would the other executives think? What about Huayang’s employees and the companies that collaborate with Huayang? They want you to leave voluntarily. Then they can take over Huayang legitimately without drawing criticism. It’s truly killing several birds with one stone."
Xu Yingying’s chest heaved dramatically a few tis. She couldn’t deny that Li Yifei had a point. However, she wasn’t going to conclude on such an analysis without evidence. Shaking her head, she said, "There’s no evidence for this. We can’t speculate wildly." But in her heart, the thought of leaving had grown even firr.
Li Yifei smiled secretly to himself. He knew he had successfully diverted Xu Yingying’s thoughts away from considering that the trouble was caused by him and Xu Shanshan.
However, Li Yifei felt that this issue had to be resolved sooner or later. Otherwise, who knows when Young Master Qin might cause trouble for Xu Yingying again. If Xu Yingying were to get hurt, that would be problematic.
But on second thought, there was nothing to worry about. Xu Yingying would soon be partnering with Su ngxin. And who was Su ngxin? Under her, who would dare to cause any trouble? That would be sheer folly, as if they had a death wish. And that Young Master Qin, in front of Su ngxin, he was nothing but scum.
At that mont, Xu Yingying took out her phone and dialed He Fangqing’s number.
"Sister Fangqing, I need to have a serious talk with you. Can you co to my place in a bit... Okay, I’ll be ho in about ten minutes."
After hanging up, Xu Yingying frowned and fell into thought. However, when she and Li Yifei got ho, she saw Xu Shanshan pouting angrily and rembered that she had a sister at ho, wondering why she’d invited He Fangqing over.
"Sis, are you kidding ? You’re coming back this late. I’m starving to death," Xu Shanshan complained, rubbing her belly and glaring at Xu Yingying.
Xu Yingying replied irritably, "How old are you? Can’t you eat sothing if you’re hungry?"
"I wanted to eat the food brother-in-law cooks. My cooking isn’t tasty."
Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Then I’ll start cooking right away. Your sister and I haven’t eaten yet either."
"You haven’t eaten yet either? That makes
feel better," Xu Shanshan giggled. "I thought the two of you had been off enjoying your own little world."
Then the sound of knocking ca. He Fangqing had arrived so quickly.
Xu Yingying went over to open the door. He Fangqing, upon seeing the twin sisters inside, widened her eyes in surprise. "Who is President Xu here? I can’t tell you two apart at all."
Xu Yingying stepped forward and explained, "Sister Fangqing, this is my sister, Xu Shanshan. Shanshan, this is our company’s financial director He Fangqing, and also a good friend of mine."
Xu Shanshan ca forward with a cheerful grin and reached out her hand, saying, "Nice to et you, Sister Fangqing."
He Fangqing replied with a smile, "Hello, you two really do look alike. I can’t distinguish you at all." Then she turned to Li Yifei, "You know, Li Yifei, don’t tell
you’ve mixed up your girlfriend too?"
Li Yifei responded helplessly, "I can’t tell them apart either."
Xu Yingying then said, "Sister Fangqing, I have sothing to discuss with you. Let’s talk in my room." She then pulled He Fangqing into the bedroom.
At that mont, Xu Shanshan followed Li Yifei into the kitchen without saying a word. She just leaned against the counter, watching Li Yifei with roving eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Yifei asked, noticing Xu Shanshan’s behavior and realizing she might have so tricky idea.
Xu Shanshan chuckled, "I just thought of sothing really fun, super fun, haha..." She giggled and ran out.
Li Yifei was confused, unsure what Xu Shanshan had in mind but suspecting it had sothing to do with him.
