Chapter 123: Chapter 123: The Prodigal Young MasterXu Shanshan saw the cars outside at that moment and stuck out her tongue, saying, "Brother-in-law, look, a Ferrari and a Porsche, they’re so pretty."

    Li Yifei laughed, "You like branded cars too?"

    "Of course, I like them, but we don’t have the money, otherwise, you could talk to my big sister and get her to buy me one."

    Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile and said, "Do you think your sister can afford to buy you one?"

    "Seems like she can’t. She earns quite a bit each year, but after all, she’s just an employee. Buying such luxury cars is definitely beyond her power. It looks like I can only wait to hook a wealthy husband to buy one for me."

    "Ha... That’s a good strategy. Then just kick him to the curb after you get the car, and you’ve got yourself a free ride."

    "Right, right, you have an even better idea," Xu Shanshan also started laughing happily.

    The voices of the two chatting were not loud, but the voices of the four new arrivals were quite loud. One of them frowned and said, "The environment here really sucks."

    Another man said, "Young Master Qin, this place isn’t like those big hotels. The main thing here is its uniqueness, a taste of the authentic and original," clearly with an intent to flatter.

    That Young Master Qin, his gaze sweeping across the room, spotted Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan. The charming smile of Xu Shanshan attracted him immediately.

    Qin Shaodong, as Young Master Qin was named, was the son of the head of Jianhao Real Estate Company. Although Jianhao Real Estate wasn’t the largest enterprise in Mile City, it was quite substantial. The real estate business had been hot over the past years, and they had made quite a fortune, with the family assets being worth a couple hundred million.

    As a man of no real talent or education and backed by family wealth, Qin Shaodong had become the typical spoiled young master, indulging in luxury and women every day. While he had not committed any serious offenses, he had certainly not been short on minor misdemeanors.

    With his wealth, naturally, all the women he dated were quite attractive. Yet today, to come across a beauty like Xu Shanshan in such a modest restaurant stirred his heart; he whistled, sneakily signaled the other three, and they all started heading directly toward Li Yifei’s table with smirks on their faces.

    Li Yifei had already noticed Qin Shaodong, who had been staring at Xu Shanshan. It was clear to him that this guy was probably looking for trouble, and as he approached, the inevitability of trouble was confirmed.

    Li Yifei had encountered plenty of these high-and-mighty youths. In Capital City, each one was far more powerful than this Qin Shaodong. Due to his many encounters, Li Yifei knew that these types were quite annoying and troublesome to deal with.

    If he had still been part of the Flying Hawk Squad, Li Yifei could’ve simply chased these people away or beaten them up without any repercussions. But being just an ordinary person now, he’d have to be more careful. So he was thinking about how to get rid of them without causing trouble.

    By this time, the four men had already arrived at Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan’s table. Qin Shaodong ignored Li Yifei completely and said to Xu Shanshan, "Beauty, how about you join us for some fun outside?"

    Xu Shanshan had noticed these men as well and immediately frowned with a cold face, rebuking, "Not interested."

    At this moment, Xu Shanshan’s demeanor surprised Li Yifei. She was the spitting image of another Xu Yingying. Now Li Yifei understood that Xu Yingying and Xu Shanshan, the twin sisters, actually had completely identical temperaments. Xu Yingying maximized the display of her grandiose and aloof nature, while Xu Shanshan expressed her quirky and elfish side to the fullest.

    Yet in both, there was a bit of each other. Once they encountered certain special situations, one could see that they were indeed the most similar pair of twins.

    Qin Shaodong laughed, slapped a stack of money on the table, and said, "I’m afraid if you hang out with us guys for the day, all this money will be yours."

    The money was more than ten thousand, which, to most people, was certainly shocking. Encountering girls in such a small restaurant, they naturally believed the money would be enough to sway them.

    Xu Shanshan’s expression grew colder as she said, "Get lost, I don’t have time for you."

    Qin Shaodong’s expression changed and he said, "Beauty has quite the attitude. I like that even more. I’ll give you a hundred thousand. My word as Qin Shaodong is solid – agree now, and I can transfer the hundred thousand to you this instant, and this cash is yours as well."

    "Get lost!" Xu Shanshan grabbed a cup filled with a drink and flung it, splashing half a cup of juice towards Qin Shaodong.

    Qin Shaodong never expected Xu Shanshan to be so bold and did not have time to dodge. He was drenched in a large portion of the juice, and even the two companions next to him did not escape unscathed.

    "Fuck, you bitch!" Qin Shaodong immediately started cursing and reached for her face to slap Xu Shanshan.

    At this moment, Xu Shanshan was not afraid at all. She kicked out and hit Qin Shaodong in the abdomen, sending him back two steps and causing his slap to miss its mark.

    Li Yifei was about to intervene, but he didn’t expect Xu Shanshan to actually know how to fight. This was indeed a surprise to him. Seeing this, he was in no rush to step in, instead wanting to see how she would handle the situation next.

    Xu Shanshan didn’t disappoint Li Yifei. She stood up and slammed her hand on the table, coldly shouting at the four men, "Don’t think just because you’re four men you’re something special. Let me tell you, I’m a black belt, fifth degree in Taekwondo. I can easily take on four little punks like you."

    Xu Shanshan’s momentum truly intimidated the four men somewhat, but as four men, they couldn’t let a girl scare them off and lose face.

    "Folks, folks, please don’t fight, no fighting!" The restaurant owner, a man in his forties, rushed over to break up the fight when he saw it was about to start.

    "Get lost!" Qin Shaodong cursed loudly, slapping the restaurant owner’s face, and commanded, "Keep out of it if you don’t want to die." Then, after wiping the juice from his face, he smirked and said, "Little lady, you’re getting spicier by the minute. I like taming wild mares like you. Boys, get her."

    Seeing she hadn’t intimidated the four men, Xu Shanshan started to panic. Although she had practiced Taekwondo, she might have a chance against one man, but against four, she was certainly outmatched.

    Li Yifei saw Xu Shanshan’s panicked eyes and knew she had been bluffing. While he found it somewhat amusing, it changed his impression of Xu Shanshan for the better. In the eyes of those from the Flying Hawk Squad, someone who could keep a cool head when faced with a problem often had an advantage over pure strength. At least in that respect, Xu Shanshan met the criteria for joining the Flying Hawk Squad.

    However, Li Yifei could no longer stand by and do nothing. He stood up and said, "Shanshan, let your brother-in-law handle this kind of thing."

    Without waiting for Xu Shanshan to react, he had already kicked the foremost thug into the air.

    Then he lowered his body and punched another man so hard he staggered back several steps, bending forward and unable to straighten up again. A shoulder barge to the right sent another thug flying like he had been hit by a speeding truck, nearly toppling over the tables behind him.

    Qin Shaodong hadn’t yet reacted; he was still charging ferociously when Li Yifei swept a leg, causing the guy to suddenly fly sideways and thud face-first onto the ground.

    The other patrons in the small shop, seated at two other tables, were all stunned. Four grown men were laid low in less than ten seconds by Li Yifei alone; it was more fantastical than scenes from martial arts novels.

    Xu Shanshan stood there, her mouth agape. She knew Li Yifei was retired from the military but had no idea he could fight like this.

    "Brother-in-law! You’re so cool!" Xu Shanshan excitedly yelled, rushing over to jump and wrap her arms around Li Yifei’s neck, planting a kiss on his face with a smack.

    Li Yifei was frozen on the spot, never expecting Xu Shanshan to get so excited that she would deliver a kiss as well.

    Of course, he understood that Xu Shanshan’s kiss was not romantic; it was simply an expression of excitement. This was normal, like how some football fans might hug and peck someone on the cheek when their team wins, regardless of whether that person is a stranger or acquaintance, male or female.

    Patting Xu Shanshan’s back, Li Yifei laughed and said, "Alright, come down now."

    Xu Shanshan let go of Li Yifei and, without any hint of embarrassment, stared at him, looking him up and down. She was beginning to realize more and more just how impressive her brother-in-law was. When she first met Li Yifei, she had no particular impression of him, but as he displayed his capabilities time and again, Xu Shanshan’s respect for him grew immensely.

    Here was a brother-in-law who could mix drinks, cook, and fight so well. Who knew what other talents Li Yifei might reveal in the future?

    At this time, Qin Shaodong and his gang struggled to their feet. With a face contorted by pain, Qin Shaodong pointed at Li Yifei and cursed, "Fuck, you dare hit me? You’re dead meat. I will make sure you’re finished!" Inside, he was figuring out how to get people to deal with Li Yifei and then take Xu Shanshan to his bed and brutally have his way with her.

    Xu Shanshan cut him off with a cold shout, "Still want a beating? You’re just trash, acting all high and mighty just because you’ve got some pathetic money."

    Li Yifei followed up with a grave voice, "It seems your bones are quite tough; guess I’ll have to loosen them up for you!"

    Li Yifei’s fierce appearance was indeed scary, causing the thugs to take a few steps back. Although Qin Shaodong, the spoiled young master, was somewhat afraid of Li Yifei, there were many other things he could rely on. He yelled at Li Yifei, "You just wait. I’ll make sure you learn what happens when you hit me." Yet in his heart, he was planning how to find someone to take care of Li Yifei and then to possess and violently ravage the beautiful Xu Shanshan.
