CHAPTER 1573: CHAPTER 1625: COMING CLEAN

When it comes to Li Yifei’s identity as the Golden Eagle, other than in the military, there is no place where it is more well-known than in Japan. In this island nation, the Golden Eagle defeated one of Japan’s only two unparalleled experts, leaving the Martial God defeated and his life or death unknown.

Previously, when he took out more than half of the Yamaguchi Group, only a small circle of people knew, but the incident of defeating the Martial God was known to a certain level of society.

However, this was his personal action, and the Japanese government did not interfere.

Afterward, when Li Yifei returned to Japan, he finished off the Martial God and cleansed the Yamaguchi Group once again, making his name known to even more people.

Therefore, the name Golden Eagle has made it to the top of many Japanese people’s lists of those not to be provoked.

Tonohei and Honda Takeshi were tied up and stuffed into a car, still pondering over Li Yifei’s last words. Golden Eagle, who is Golden Eagle? It sounds like a code name.

By this point, the two had no choice but to admit defeat. The fact that their opponent hadn’t killed them earlier was already showing restraint. Even if they were unwilling in their hearts, they dared not show it, at least not until their lives were safe.

As for the future, while in Dubai, the two wouldn’t dare to make a move against Li Yifei again. He could even enlist the help of the military, so no matter how much money they spent hiring terrorists, they wouldn’t be able to fight the military.

The two temporarily conceded and decided to pay some compensation to Wu Shuwei. Tonohei contributed less, while Honda Takeshi paid more, mainly because the kidnapping idea was his, and Tonohei merely seconded it.

On the plane, in order to get back as soon as possible, Li Yifei and a few women took a helicopter directly back, leaving those who were captured to be dealt with by Wu Shuwei’s people.

On the plane, Wu Shuwei sat next to Angelina, and Sarama sat next to Li Yifei.

Wu Shuwei occasionally stole a glance at Li Yifei, then lowered her head, lost in thought. Angelina, on the other hand, was staring out, taking in the unique night view. The moon was particularly large tonight,

Sarama, feeling a bit sleepy, looked at Li Yifei a few times. Seeing no objection, she rested her head on Li Yifei’s shoulder, pursed her lips slightly, snuggled a bit, and fell asleep.

Seeing this, Wu Shuwei’s lips twitched. She thought to herself, how can this princess be so indiscreet? Even if she likes him, she shouldn’t act like this. However, she couldn’t bring herself to pull Sarama away, and just felt a slight discomfort.

Regarding today’s events, Wu Shuwei had been feeling somewhat hopeless. One can’t be lucky forever. She had been saved by Li Yifei once, twice, but could there be a third time? But when the kidnappers panicked, Wu Shuwei realized that miracles do happen, that man would indeed come to save her.

When she saw Li Yifei leap down from the second floor and shoot down those terrorists mid-air, Wu Shuwei knew there was no way she could be angry with him, even if this project were completely taken over by Li Yifei, it wouldn’t matter.

Wu Shuwei smacked her lips. After the shock passed, she too felt a bit tired, especially since she hadn’t eaten, feeling somewhat sleepy. If only she were the one leaning against Li Yifei’s shoulder to sleep, how nice that would be, Wu Shuwei thought, feeling a bit envious of Sarama.

Fortunately, Angelina scooted over at this point, saying, "Are you tired? Come lie down and rest for a while. Once we arrive, we’ll go eat."

Wu Shuwei looked at Li Yifei first upon hearing this, seeing him sitting there quietly, not moving. Wu Shuwei snorted lightly and lay down in Angelina’s embrace, slowly closing her eyes.

Angelina winked at Li Yifei with a mischievous smile, while Li Yifei glared back at her.

An hour later, the plane flew back to Dubai and landed directly at Sarama’s place.

Sarama had already woken up and hopped off the helicopter, while Angelina nudged Wu Shuwei awake. She disembarked first, followed by Li Yifei, and then it was Wu Shuwei’s turn. Still half-asleep, she rubbed her eyes and looked around in a daze.

Seeing Li Yifei, Wu Shuwei regained her senses and remembered the events that had transpired earlier.

The group entered the villa. Sarama had already notified the servants at home to prepare meals for everyone.

After wolfing down the food, Li Yifei contentedly patted his stomach and fiddled with his phone, replying to messages from his family. Sarama quietly leaned over to peek but realized she couldn’t understand a thing and thought to herself, how come she never learned any of the Huaxia languages after all these years? Otherwise, she could secretly read the messages the Golden Eagle was sending to his family.

Unable to read but still wanting to watch, Sarama pretended she understood, resting her little face on Li Yifei’s shoulder, with her chin on it, breathing softly as she watched.

Two minutes later, a look of grievance appeared on Sarama’s face because Li Yifei had typed a sentence on his phone—Sarama is a fool.

This was written in English, so Sarama understood. Her face turned red, and she huffed lightly before standing upright again and turning to walk to the side.

Li Yifei chuckled silently and continued typing a message.

Wu Shuwei had something she wanted to say to Li Yifei, but she didn’t know how to start. Besides, Angelina and Sarama were next to her, so she didn’t want to speak, yet it felt frustrating not to say anything.

Her butt twisted a few times, Wu Shuwei’s face was tangled, Li Yifei glanced at her a few times, put away his phone, cleared his throat, and said to Sarama and Angelina: "I need to have a word with Wu Shuwei, you guys go to bed first."

Sarama raised an eyebrow, looked at Li Yifei, then lowered her eyebrows, nodded, and said: "It’s too early to sleep. Angelina and I will go swimming."

Li Yifei said: "Alright, I’ll join you later."

"You better keep your word, you promised during the day," Sarama said, hinting that she still remembered that during the day when they were about to swim, Wu Shuwei was kidnapped. So they didn’t get to swim.

Li Yifei nodded, and Sarama left. Angelina waved to Wu Shuwei, mouthed something that seemed like "good luck," and ran off giddily.

In the empty room, only Li Yifei and Wu Shuwei remained. Li Yifei didn’t rush to speak; it was Wu Shuwei who broke the silence first. She looked at Li Yifei and said seriously, not too fast: "Thank you, for saving me again today."

Li Yifei tilted his head slightly, pressed his lips together, and said: "Is that the only thanks I get?"

Wu Shuwei was stunned, looked at Li Yifei oddly, analyzing the meaning behind his words. After a moment, seeing the smile on Li Yifei’s face, she rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly: "Can’t you think of something decent?"

Li Yifei chuckled and said: "I feel a bit innocent here. I just asked if I only get a thank you, and you say I’m indecent. If I were to ask for some money as a reward, you’d probably expose me online immediately, wouldn’t you?"

What? Wu Shuwei’s eyes widened immediately, just realizing that she misunderstood his meaning. But... his expression earlier clearly suggested something improper.

Unable to get angry, Wu Shuwei snorted and said: "I can’t afford your reward. You’re the kind of super-rich who can casually bring out 15 billion US dollars!"

The topic instantly shifted to the investment matter, which was also the knot in Wu Shuwei’s heart. Otherwise, she would have just stayed in the hotel and wouldn’t have gone out wandering.

But this matter can’t be blamed on Li Yifei, or else it would be completely unreasonable.

After saying this, thinking about the 15 billion US dollars, Wu Shuwei sunk back into her emotions. Originally, when she saw Li Yifei rushing out, she had decided not to care about this matter anymore.

But... someone so wealthy, still freeloading at her place, freeloading meals, if he claimed he didn’t have a motive, she wouldn’t believe him.

Wu Shuwei’s cheeks puffed up slowly, glaring at Li Yifei angrily. Li Yifei raised an eyebrow and said: "Didn’t you check my information?"

Wu Shuwei frowned and said: "Why should I check on you? Are you very famous? How come I haven’t seen your name on the list of rich people? Besides, I don’t go around checking other people’s hobbies and habits..."

"Oh." Li Yifei mumbled, waiting for half a minute, nearly driving Wu Shuwei crazy. Just as she was about to ask, Li Yifei looked up again and said: "We only met by chance on the plane. I didn’t expect to meet you, and you certainly didn’t expect to meet me. As for saving you, it’s because you’re a Huaxia person, my compatriot. If you were from another country, I wouldn’t meddle."

Wu Shuwei frowned but didn’t retort to Li Yifei.

Li Yifei continued saying: "When we annihilated the Anchor Organization, I found out who funded your kidnapping, those two Japanese guys, and also learned your identity. My purpose in coming to Dubai was to rescue this oil project, ensuring it was secured for Huaxia. You have to admit, even if no one had kidnapped you, this project essentially had no chance for Huaxia. So there’s no way I stole your project or intentionally approached you."

Wu Shuwei was about to speak when Li Yifei raised a finger, saying: "That’s the first thing I needed to clarify. Secondly, if you had looked into my information, you wouldn’t have reacted like that. Whether it’s Golden Eagle or my real name, Li Yifei, you have to admit that without me, you wouldn’t get this project."

That is true, without Li Yifei, even if Wu Shuwei wasn’t in danger, she still wouldn’t have been able to get it. If Parsons hadn’t turned on them at the end, the project would have belonged to the Japanese people by now.

So Wu Shuwei nodded, acknowledging Li Yifei’s words.

Li Yifei grinned and then continued: "The last point is also the most important one."

Wu Shuwei’s eyebrows twitched, feeling that Li Yifei was about to lay all cards on the table, so she felt a little nervous, fingers clutching her pants, lips slightly pursed, looking at Li Yifei.
