CHAPTER 1578: CHAPTER 1630: RETURN TO THE MOTHERLAND

Two days later, on the plane, Li Yifei finally returned to the country.

The reason for the word ’finally’ is because Li Yifei left home for quite some time this time, not only did he miss home, but his family also missed him.

Li Yifei, like an absentee landlord, left just a few days after his two children were born, barely holding them, which was somewhat inappropriate. Although the women at home understood his actions, still... a father is a father. You can’t have the excuse of neglecting because there are many women and children at home.

Ultimately, Li Yifei might feel sorry for each child, which is not what he wanted.

So as soon as the business in Dubai was over, Li Yifei immediately bought a plane ticket to return home.

He stayed for two days. On the first day, invited by Sashar, Li Yifei had fun with Angelina and Sarama while Wu Shuwei was deeply engaged in work with no time to join them.

On the second day, Li Yifei had a meal with Prince Parsons, accompanied by Sarama as well. In the evening, he had dinner with Wu Shuwei, Angelina, and Sarama, sitting together and chatting for a while.

Each of the women presented their gifts, some for Li Yifei’s children, others for Li Yifei’s wives.

Even someone like Sarama, used to being around multiple wives, was somewhat surprised by Li Yifei’s circumstances. Not knowing if the Golden Eagle could manage so many women, Angelina felt she’d never get involved in such chaos in this life.

Meanwhile, Wu Shuwei kept pursing her lips, thinking it’s not ancient times; how can one have so many women?

What Wu Shuwei said after signing the contract was her genuine thought. She had lost faith in men, but after meeting Li Yifei and experiencing certain events, Wu Shuwei suddenly felt that married life might not be bad; a life with two would be better. At least when she’s tired, someone would comfort her; when she’s sick, someone would care; in difficulties, the other half would steadfastly stand by her side.

At the time, Li Yifei suggested that she should find someone and give it a try, but Wu Shuwei only nodded without saying more.

If Li Yifei didn’t have so many women, Wu Shuwei might have suggested they try; but this womanizer, with so many women, is something Wu Shuwei cannot accept.

She wanted to ask Su Mengxin, as the number one beauty in Huaxia, a woman whose family background, education, and emotional intelligence surpass ordinary people, why she accepted Li Yifei and his other women too.

In Wu Shuwei’s view, this was something hard to understand, and she couldn’t figure it out.

But she didn’t ask Li Yifei; some things are better understood on one’s own.

Considering Li Yifei’s polygamy, Wu Shuwei had another shift in her thoughts.

On the plane, thinking about the changes in this woman, Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile, feeling he did fairly well on this trip by not entangling himself with anyone.

As for Sarama, that was entirely something from years ago, not part of this trip, and nothing much happened anyway; maybe just sleeping on his shoulder or pulling off her swimsuit in the pool once.

Besides that, nothing inappropriate was done, right? Li Yifei asked himself.

So, Li Yifei considered he did well enough, and by being honest, his wives shouldn’t be too upset with him.

Speaking of which, when he left, Sarama’s eyes were red, not sure how many times she cried in her room. When seeing him off, her mood was clearly low, but Li Yifei couldn’t console her; this isn’t a matter one can console.

Before boarding, Li Yifei took the initiative to hug Sarama and invited her to visit his home if she’d have the time, lifting her spirits a bit. Yet, being a soldier, she couldn’t randomly travel abroad.

Sashar also came to see him off, and so did Angelina, but Wu Shuwei was too busy, probably at a construction site, without even calling Li Yifei.

As for Angelina, Li Yifei never had any intentions, and she knew her boundaries well, avoiding any awkwardness.

Nine hours later, Li Yifei landed at the capital’s airport. Upon exiting, someone was already there to pick him up; they were from the Su Family. Li Yifei intended to head straight home, but Old Master Su asked him to stop by, so he had to halt his plans.

The car didn’t take any special privileges, parked in the lot. Li Yifei thanked them, got into the car, and an hour later, it turned into Old Master Su’s courtyard. The driver helped with Li Yifei’s luggage, but he declined, opting to handle it himself.

Entering the house, Old Master Su wasn’t home; Li Yifei didn’t mind. He drank half a pot of tea while wandering in the small courtyard.

About an hour later, Elder Su returned by car and saw Li Yifei sitting in the pavilion, staring at the chessboard, seemingly lost in thought.

Elder Su walked over with large strides. Li Yifei looked up, saw it was Elder Su, and quickly stood up, respectfully calling out, "Grandfather!"

Elder Su waved his hand and said, "Sit down. Suddenly getting respectful, this old man isn’t quite used to it."

"Grandfather, you’re wronging me here. When have I not been respectful?" Li Yifei said as he sat back down and poured a cup of tea for Elder Su.

It was rare for Elder Su to explain to Li Yifei, saying, "I just went to the hospital to visit an old comrade. Alas, he’s old and likely won’t last more than a few days. This might be the last time we meet. Back in the day, we carried guns together, crawled through swamps for a week, and came out fine. Now, just getting up too quickly in the morning, and his blood vessel burst. You tell me, people..."

Nearby the pavilion, only Elder Su and Li Yifei were there. Elder Su indeed looked a bit fatigued, and his mood wasn’t great either.

Li Yifei understood immediately. Heroes aging, beauties turning gray, it is inevitable. No matter how heroic one used to be, age eventually catches up. Besides, Elder Su’s comrade was about the same age, so he lived a long life, and holding a funeral for someone so old can be considered a happy occasion.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yifei said, "Grandfather, try to look at it openly."

"Nonsense. I’ve long come to terms with it, but with each passing, I’m reminded of those old friends who never even experienced youth. Compared to them, we old bones are extremely lucky." Elder Su wasn’t directing his words at Li Yifei; he just wanted to vent a bit, so Li Yifei smiled and let him rant.

If Elder Su can still curse, that shows he still has the energy. If he couldn’t even curse anymore, then it would be truly over.

After Elder Su finished venting, Li Yifei stood up and squatted in front of Elder Su, saying, "Grandfather, let me check your body and adjust your qi and blood."

Elder Su nodded, stretched out his hand, and quickly felt a warm sensation flowing through his entire body, making him feel warm and comfortable, as if he had a good sleep, feeling refreshed.

Knowing Li Yifei’s abilities, Elder Su wasn’t surprised. He suddenly looked at Li Yifei and said, "You... this ability of yours, can it save people? My old friend had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage this morning and is now being rescued in the hospital, unconscious. Can you use this ability to save him?"

Li Yifei hesitated and said, "Grandfather, this ability... I don’t know, but the brain is the most mysterious part of the human body. If I can’t save him, it might just finish him off."

"There are some things he hasn’t explained yet. Why don’t you try?"

Seeing the hopeful look in the old man’s eyes, Li Yifei couldn’t refuse, so he nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll give it a try, but don’t hold too much hope."

"I understand, treating a dead horse as if it’s alive. If we can extend his life for a few more days, us old friends can chat a bit more, and he can send a message to those underground, which is also good." After Elder Su finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Let’s go, I’ll take you there."

"Grandfather, you just got back, rest a bit before going?"

"No, I’ll rest after we’re done."

Li Yifei then hurried off with Elder Su to a hospital. The old man with the cerebral hemorrhage was a few years younger than Elder Su, but they were comrades back in the day. After surviving that disaster, they all found a bit of fortune. Most importantly, this elderly man, named Li Xianggui, had taken a bullet for Elder Su back then, which, although not a big deal, Elder Su always remembered.

The two had a great relationship, lifelong war comrades. The sudden departure of an old friend naturally didn’t put Elder Su in a good mood, leading him to seek Li Yifei’s help.

At the hospital, Li Yifei first communicated with the doctor and found that the old man had a cerebral blood vessel burst. Although emergency surgery was performed, there was still blood clotting in the skull, and the old man was now in a coma. Even if he made it through this time, he likely wouldn’t live long, as the blood vessel was too thin and fragile.

Li Yifei stroked his chin, pondering, somewhat indecisive. He hadn’t done this kind of thing before. Although Elder Su hadn’t insisted he save the old friend, Li Yifei felt if he stepped in, there was no reason not to do it well.

Thinking about it, he took out his phone and called Murong Yuanqing.

Murong Yuanqing was surprised to receive Li Yifei’s call, as Li Yifei had been missing for some time. After exchanging some pleasantries, Li Yifei got straight to the point. After hearing Li Yifei’s words, Murong Yuanqing paused and said, "This isn’t easy, but you said it must be done, so I suggest you inject some Innate Vital Energy into the old man’s body. Use this qi to keep him alive; if he can survive today, that would be his fortune. As for reconstructing the body, blood vessels, that’s not something you can do, even with Innate Vital Energy."

"Got it, thanks, old master. I’ll come visit you later," Li Yifei said.

"No need for visits, it’s always trouble when you do. Recently, I’ve been researching some things, don’t have the time to deal with you, just take care of yourself." Murong Yuanqing laughed and cursed a bit over the phone, and before hanging up, he remembered something and said, "Wait a moment, how’s that ’Yan’ inside you, oh, I mean the Worm?"
