Chapter 2193: Chapter 2257: This Old Man Is Sothing Else
Li Yifei didn’t understand the whole process; he only looked at the results. After obtaining the parking lot surveillance video, Xiang Qian quickly began to search. Five or six minutes later, he found the Audi A6 and said, "Boss, here it is. Let
capture his face."
However, the driver remained in the car the entire ti. Through the front windshield, his face was vaguely visible, though not very clear due to the distance. Still, it was sowhat distinguishable. After seeing it, Li Yifei couldn’t help but frown. Comparing it to the people Xiang Qian previously investigated, none of them looked like this driver.
"What about the video? Could this just be the driver, and there might be others in the car?" Li Yifei asked.
"It’s possible," Xiang Qian imdiately nodded and said, "I’ll take a full look."
Another ten minutes passed. Li Yifei was on a call with Little Song; they had already arrived there and were ready to enter.
"Be careful!" Li Yifei said.
"Understood, Captain. No need to rush. As long as he’s here, the three of us won’t let him escape!" Little Song said.
anwhile, Xiang Qian received so news. He found a person, but unfortunately, the other party was wearing sunglasses and a trench coat. He went to pick up the person called Chilea, and the two of them got into the car one after another. Unfortunately, the person was very careful about protecting himself, and the footage from several caras was unclear. Only this bit could reveal it was a male with a prominent nose and a sowhat short beard, but other details were unclear. Based on this alone, it’s impossible to verify the car owner’s information.
"Car owner information..." Li Yifei tapped the table lightly with his hand as his eyes scanned back and forth over the owner information. These drivers were all male, but at least none had such a big nose, and that person appeared to be over 1.8 ters tall.
Of course, it’s very likely that the car owner isn’t this person, or at least the chance is small. However, Li Yifei quickly identified so situations upon comparison. He said, "It seems there’s another person in the car who hasn’t gotten out. Look here!"
As he spoke, Li Yifei rewound the video a bit, paused the screen, and pointed, "Look here, there’s another person in the car, this is a hand!"
"Yes, there’s indeed another person."
Unfortunately, the footage of this person is not visible, as they never left the car.
"So, there are at least four people in this car!"
Through the airport video, Li Yifei could already confirm that the person using soone else’s information, Chilea, let’s just call him that for now, was the sa bandit leader he encountered at the Egyptian airport, who could also be called a terrorist.
Therefore, Li Yifei must track this matter down. A person that dangerous coming to Huaxia is sothing that must be wary of, especially since the other party is being so cautious; it’s hard for Li Yifei to have a positive association.
At that mont, Wu Shuwei’s call ca through.
"Hey, what made you think of calling ? Did you finish talking with your dad?" Li Yifei answered the call with a smile.
Wu Shuwei’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, seemingly finding an issue with Li Yifei’s words. What I discussed with my dad was serious business, not about you... heck, how could it possibly be about you? Adjusting her mood, Wu Shuwei said, "Yeah, we’re done. How about you, still working on that thing?"
"Yeah, looking into it with a few comrades!"
"Still investigating? Didn’t you say you were going to rush ho to treat Su Lio?"
"I couldn’t make it back, so I’ve arranged for Shanshan to bring Su Lio here for treatnt in the Capital City!" Li Yifei replied.
Wu Shuwei imdiately realized the seriousness of the situation. She lowered her voice and asked, "Have you already confird that person at the airport is the Egyptian bandit leader?"
"Yes, I just got so video footage and confird it’s him," Li Yifei said.
Wu Shuwei felt a little nervous. That person caused so much chaos at the Egyptian airport, yet wasn’t caught, and even made it to Huaxia; this was simply too brazen.
"Then... you shouldn’t act alone. I know you’re impressive, but let
talk to my dad and have him send so people," Wu Shuwei suggested.
"No need; I’ve now tracked down so clues and have a few comrades helping," Li Yifei refused.
Wu Shuwei made an acknowledging sound, urging Li Yifei to be careful. However, after hanging up, she still wasn’t at ease. As formidable as Li Yifei was, matters like these were better handled by the police or specialized departnts. So, after thinking it over, Wu Shuwei turned back and told her father about it.
Wu Qingfeng, Wu Shuwei’s father, initially had doubts upon hearing the news, but knowing his daughter wouldn’t joke about this, and given what he knew of Li Yifei, he wasn’t the type to make light of such matters. Hence, Wu Qingfeng believed his daughter’s words and asked Wu Shuwei to call Li Yifei imdiately.
Li Yifei had just hung up and was analyzing the video with Xiang Qian when he received Wu Shuwei’s call. As he picked up, Li Yifei jokingly said, "What, just hung up and already miss ?"
The voice on the phone was loud, and Wu Shuwei wanted to roll her eyes, knowing it was her father holding the phone. Wu Qingfeng, hearing Li Yifei’s slightly teasing tone, imdiately thought of the possible relationship between his daughter and Li Yifei, but given the matter at hand, he held his brow and asked, "This is Wu Qingfeng. Are you Li Yifei?"
No voice from Wu Shuwei ca through, but instead a deep male voice that startled Li Yifei, nearly dropping his phone.
Wu Qingfeng? Who was that? The na sounded familiar, but he couldn’t quite place it, though given Wu Shuwei’s call, Li Yifei imdiately guessed it was her father, so he replied, "Hello, I’m Li Yifei. May I know if you’re Shuwei’s father?"
"It’s . I have sothing I need to ask you!" Wu Qingfeng’s voice remained robust, and it felt as if his authority could be sensed through the phone.
Ask
sothing? What could it be? Li Yifei replied, "Uncle, please go ahead."
Who is your uncle? Wu Qingfeng almost wanted to retort. Previously, he had only known of a Li Yifei and so of his deeds, but never had he personally interacted with him. Given his position, he wouldn’t know Li Yifei. But since his daughter had interactions with him, Wu Qingfeng had co to know a bit more, though this was their first conversation. Pausing, he then asked, "Is what Weiwei just ntioned true?"
"What thing?" Li Yifei was montarily taken aback and reflexively asked, only to hear Wu Qingfeng say, "Stop playing coy and just tell
straight!"
"Uncle, which incident are you referring to?"
"Are you investigating a suspected terrorist?"
"Ah, you’re talking about this..." Li Yifei exhaled a sigh of relief. His first reaction was that Wu Shuwei had talked about their personal matters, which would really be... fortunately, it wasn’t about that. So, Li Yifei hurriedly said, "Yes, it’s true."
"Nonsense! If you suspect such a person, why haven’t you alerted the authorities? Why play the hero yourself?" Wu Qingfeng scolded, though it sounded more like a reprimand to a younger generation than genuine anger.
Li Yifei caught onto this and replied, "Uncle Wu, the situation isn’t confird yet. If I just alerted the authorities outright, causing a large police operation, it might startle the snake in the grass."
"Nonsense! Weiwei said you’ve already confird that the person is the terrorist leader you encountered at the Egyptian airport!" Wu Qingfeng barked, but still didn’t sound genuinely angry, continuing, "Now, I order you to stop the investigation imdiately and leave it to the relevant agencies!"
"How is that possible!" Li Yifei imdiately retorted, thinking the old man was crazy. Who does he think he is? Thus, Li Yifei replied, "Uncle Wu, I refuse. I believe that even the police might not be more professional than us few."
"Get lost! You little brat... Weiwei says you’ve confird that person is the terrorist leader you encountered at the Egyptian airport. Now, I order you to stop your investigation imdiately and hand it over to the appropriate authorities!"
"Damn it! You think you’re all that? I’ve determined that even the police might not be as professional as us few!"
"Stuff it! Stop. Don’t think just because you’re no longer in the military, I can’t command you. You might not obey orders, but as for those comrades of yours in law enforcent, I’ll make sure they regret it."
"What?" Li Yifei was montarily flabbergasted, hearing what sounded like an ultimatum from the other end, "Stop this instantly, or don’t bla
for being unkind!"
Beep, beep, beep—the busy signal ca through, signaling the call had been terminated. Li Yifei blinked and muttered subconsciously, "Who the hell is this guy anyway, with such an attitude?"
"Boss, what happened?" Xiang Qian asked without looking up, hearing so of the noise and assuming Li Yifei was dealing with prospective in-laws.
"An old guy nad Wu Qingfeng called and told us to stop the investigation and let the police handle it." Li Yifei said, tucking the phone into his pocket and adding, "What a weirdo. If such a dangerous figure is involved, I’d want to take him down personally instead of waiting for the notoriously slow police!"
Xiang Qian gave an acknowledgnt and was about to make a derisive comnt but suddenly froze, eyes widening as he looked at Li Yifei and asked, "Boss, what was the na of that damned old guy you ntioned just now?"
"Wu Qingfeng," Li Yifei replied.
"Damn!" Xiang Qian opened his eyes wide, his eyelid twitching, and he jumped up from his seat, saying, "Boss, those three words aren’t simple. That old guy isn’t an ordinary old man at all."
"I know, he’s an official, supposedly a big one, but that doesn’t an he can order us around," Li Yifei said, rolling his eyes.
"No, this old guy is now the second in command at the Ministry of Public Security, wielding life and death over countless people, boss. He’s my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss here in the Capital City. If it was elsewhere, I wouldn’t even know how many more titles he’d have over ."
"Shit!" Li Yifei was also taken aback. How did Wu Shuwei’s father suddenly beco the second in command of the Ministry of Public Security? A few months back, he wasn’t in that position.
"He’s newly appointed, known as a young and pragmatic leader, very capable," Xiang Qian volunteered, sensing Li Yifei’s confusion. Li Yifei rubbed his chin and nodded.
