Chapter 455: Chapter 462 Brushing Past Each Other
"This Joseph is really fucking ruthless, blowing up his own people!" Zhou Qiang cursed as he got up. However, he didn’t show a hint of panic. Such danger was a trifle to them. Having skirted the edge of life and death for too long, even the most perilous situations had left them numb.
Zheng Mingrui snorted and said, "Boss, I’ve really embarrassed myself, almost got the brothers killed."
Li Yifei gave a slight smile and said, "But in the end, didn’t you realize what was going on?"
Zheng Mingrui shook his head and said, "If you hadn’t given
that last look, I wouldn’t have thought of it. On my own turf, I got a bit careless. Next ti, I must be more vigilant so as not to endanger the brothers because of my montary negligence."
Li Yifei just patted Zheng Mingrui on the shoulder and said no more. Zheng Mingrui had always lived in his shadow, and now he was charging ahead, especially with him present, he couldn’t help but feel restrained. It wasn’t that Zheng Mingrui lacked capability, so Li Yifei didn’t need to say much more. He believed that Zheng Mingrui would be able to grow quickly.
Li Yifei had co this ti to take out Joseph’s base in Huaxia as a warning. If Joseph dared to co again, he would show no rcy. But now it seed that such thods were of no use. Joseph had deliberately set this trap, and from now on, it would be a fight to the death between the two.
The sound of fire engines and police cars got closer, and the group quickly left the scene, not bothering to stick around for the aftermath.
Joseph was a sly fox of a man. As the leader of a terrorist organization, he was very smart. Having failed once, he had no intention of targeting Li Yifei again soon. After all, attacking soone like Li Yifei twice in quick succession without success would be suicidal.
So, Joseph imdiately left Mile City, left Huaxia. Now that he was exposed, his presence in Huaxia was extrely dangerous. Though he held a grudge against Li Yifei, revenge was not sothing to be rushed.
Moreover, he had deliberately left a loose end, exposing his branch in Huaxia. He believed Li Yifei would definitely co knocking. If he could have killed Li Yifei with the explosion, that would have been great. But even if the attempt failed, he could make Li Yifei understand that Joseph would not give up so easily.
Back at his headquarters, his subordinates quickly brought him a ssage in haste. Their organization’s branch in Huaxia had been discovered; except for a few who were not present at the ti, all others were killed.
Joseph already knew this news but had not disclosed it to others. He didn’t want them to know that he had set up the situation, sacrificing his n’s lives for it. If he had succeeded in killing Li Yifei, the Golden Eagle, he would have announced it. However, since the news indicated that Li Yifei was unhard, there was no benefit in publicizing the incident.
Upon hearing this news, the high-ranking mbers reporting to Joseph all frowned. Ramos, known as Blood Wolf, slamd his hand on the table and exclaid, "Holy one, these Huaxia people are despicable. They’ve caused our organization significant losses. Our first holy one was also killed by Huaxia’s Golden Eagle. I want to kill that Golden Eagle myself."
Another nicknad Blood Fox, Daru, spoke indifferently, "These were our people, who had been embedded in Huaxia for a long ti, costing us so much effort. It’s a real sha to have them undone by Huaxia. But our organization is short on talent right now. We should not engage in large-scale terrorist activities. I suggest we bide our ti."
Ramos, impetuous and the most combative mber of the organization, imdiately glared and retorted, "Daru, our prestige has plumted since the ascension of our previous holy one. If we don’t make a significant move now, our organization will only lose more of its standing."
With his long fingers tapping on the table, Blood Fox Daru said, "Are you questioning the ability of our holy one?"
Ramos was startled and hurriedly said to Joseph, "Holy one, I didn’t an that. But I hope you give
a chance. I want to fight the Golden Eagle from Huaxia. I will certainly kill him on the spot."
Joseph shook his head and said, "Blood Wolf, I recognize that I am powerful. This ti I t the Golden Eagle, and his strength is indeed formidable. Even with four holy envoys, he killed one on the spot. Do you think you could single-handedly take on four holy envoys?"
The Blood Wolf laughed and said, "Holy one, of course I would not have been able to in the past, but recently my power has surged. The four holy envoys are no match for ."
Joseph’s eyes brightened and he said, "This is a big deal. If you really have such strength, then you may indeed have the power to battle the Golden Eagle."
"If the holy one does not believe ," Ramos laughed arrogantly, "then feel free to let the holy envoys test ."
Joseph shook his head again and said, "No, even if you have the ability, you can’t go yet. You won’t have the chance to face off with the Golden Eagle alone. The mont you appear, Huaxia’s police will be alerted. Finding the Golden Eagle will require another opportunity."
"Holy one, do you not believe in my ability?" Blood Wolf Ramos clenched his fists tightly, his eyes bulging like bull’s eyes.
"It’s not that I don’t believe you, but this matter you must obey the organization’s arrangents."
Blood Wolf clenched his jaw tightly and took a deep breath before saying, "Holy one, then I’ll go back first."
"Go ahead, take so ti to cool down. Being impulsive is not conducive to handling matters well."
As Blood Wolf Ramos left, Blood Fox Daru said, "Holy one, Ramos is still too impulsive. I’m afraid he won’t listen to you and will go off on his own."
Joseph sipped on a glass of red wine, showing not the slightest hint of impatience on his face. With a faint smile, he said, "It’s nothing, just have soone keep an eye on him for now. For the ti being, we still need to press him. His abilities are there, especially with his recent progress in martial arts. I’m afraid he holds
in even lower regard now. If he insists on going, there’s no need to stop him. Let him suffer a setback at the hands of Golden Eagle, and he’ll behave."
"I’m just afraid that once he’s in Huaxia, his life will be in danger," said Blood Fox Daru with a face full of worry.
"A person like Blood Wolf must either recognize his own limitations and not be so impulsive, or... I’d rather forsake him." This ice-cold statent, filled with a deep chill, revealed the heart of a leader. Joseph was even more outstanding than his brother, and his ruthlessness was the most important attribute.
Li Yifei rounded up a few comrades-in-arms. Aside from dealing with this Joseph, he also had his comrades carry out several other tasks, all highly secretive and known only to the parties involved.
After all this, Li Yifei returned to Mile City. He had been away for nearly ten days, cutting off all contact with everyone back ho. Once again standing on Mile City’s soil, he truly felt a wave of warmth wash over him.
However, standing at the airport’s entrance, Li Yifei hesitated, not knowing where to go.
For the mont, the issues had been resolved, and those around him should be safe from danger because of him. But this was only temporary. Unless he completely eliminated these key enemies, he would never be able to lead a normal life. Being with anyone would put her in great danger.
But by now, he was already very close to so people. If his enemies were truly bent on revenge, they would probably understand these relationships by now. Even if he stayed away from Xu Yingying and the others, the enemies would likely co after them anyway. Hence, even avoiding Xu Yingying and the others would be useless for Li Yifei now.
What made Li Yifei hesitate now was that he still didn’t know what Xu Yingying’s thoughts were. Additionally, he hadn’t dealt with Ning Xin’er yet. After all, the child was his own. And what about Ye Yunzhu? She already had his child, could he really remain indifferent?
Combining all these issues, Li Yifei simply didn’t know where he should go.
"Brother Li!" A joyous exclamation ca as ng Xiaofei, dragging her luggage, ran toward him like the wind, dressed in a stewardess uniform with black high-heeled shoes. Particularly eye-catching was her full bosom, which trembled up and down with her rush.
"Don’t run, be careful not to fall," Li Yifei hurriedly shouted.
But it was already too late. ng Xiaofei stumbled, let out a cry of alarm, and fell to the side. Li Yifei quickly dashed forward, his arm stretching out to catch ng Xiaofei in his embrace.
ng Xiaofei instinctively clung to Li Yifei, tightly shut her eyes, and after a while, she exclaid in surprise, "Why doesn’t it hurt?"
ng Xiaofei’s words amused Li Yifei, who helped her up and said, "Didn’t I tell you to be careful?"
ng Xiaofei stood up, stuck out her tongue at Li Yifei, and said, "I was just too excited to see you."
"Excited to the point of falling over?" Li Yifei’s face was full of smiles. Seeing ng Xiaofei had lightened his heart in a way he couldn’t describe.
"Of course, it’s worth it. Now that you’re back, I can freeload off your cooking again. Also... these last few days have been killing . Seeing Sister Yingying and Sister Shanshan anxious when they talked about you, I was so worried but couldn’t say anything. It felt terrible."
Li Yifei could well imagine how difficult this situation must have been for ng Xiaofei. He laughed and said, "Alright, now that I’m back, you no longer have to feel so distressed."
"Too bad the timing isn’t good. I have a flight to attend to today, so I can only co back to enjoy a al made by Brother Li. Oh my, it’s getting late, if I don’t go in now, I’ll be late." Saying this, ng Xiaofei waved hurriedly at Li Yifei, then rushed toward the airport with her luggage.
"Hey, hey, slow down!" Li Yifei called out.
ng Xiaofei turned her head, stuck out her tongue at Li Yifei again, and then changed from running to walking quickly as she headed inside.
Just reaching the airport entrance, Li Yifei unexpectedly saw Xu Yingying, which surprised him greatly. Seeing Xu Yingying stirred an indescribable excitent in his heart, for she was his wife, the closest person to him, no matter what.
But he managed to maintain a calm expression. He was still unsure of Xu Yingying’s attitude.
Xu Yingying was there to see off an important client that day. Just as she sent the client inside and was ready to head back to the company, she spotted Li Yifei at the airport entrance. Overjoyed at the sight, she wanted to rush into Li Yifei’s arms, but with a glance, she saw two n beside him, both dressed in black suits, seemingly not-so-simple characters.
This made Xu Yingying’s heart sink, and she imdiately rembered what Su ngxin had told her before she left. Li Yifei was currently engaged in a special mission that required absolute secrecy, and she shouldn’t interfere. So although she yearned for Li Yifei, she had to restrain herself and, without sparing him a glance, walked past him as if he were a stranger.
Watching Xu Yingying act so indifferently, Li Yifei’s heart abruptly chilled. He opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound, simply watching as Xu Yingying walked away.
