"What’s going on?" Zhao Xianmin frowned first and replied.

"It’s about that Li guy, I’m driving over to find you now. I’ll wait for you in the alley across the street. Meet me there after work, and I’ll explain it in detail!" said Ye Liangchen.

Zhao Xianmin looked around; it was inconvenient to make a call since his colleagues were around, so he replied, "Just tell me what’s going on first."

"Here’s the deal, I had someone do a sudden inspection, saying there was drug trafficking. Then, they planted drugs in the other person’s luggage. When they searched, they found them, and it just so happened that the Drug Control Brigade was also there, so naturally, they arrested him!" the other party replied.

Zhao Xianmin’s eyelids twitched. If the situation were right, he would have called to verify, but he couldn’t do it now.

However, if this were true, it would be fantastic. Regarding Li Yifei’s identity and capabilities, as a member of the Zhao Family, he knew a lot. If he could get him arrested, it would be a great thing.

So, after his initial joy, Zhao Xianmin quickly replied, "Alright, wait for me across the street, I’ll be there in ten minutes."

"No problem, just wanted to ask you if you want to handle it big or small. There’s about thirty to forty grams of drugs here, enough for a sentence!"

"Big, of course, handle it as big as possible. Damn, this bastard finally fell into my hands, haha, good brother, well done. I’ll make him pay for being arrogant, damn it, daring to offend the Zhao Family! I’ll make sure he’s stuck in South Dian Province for life!" Zhao Xianmin said viciously.

Upon hearing this, Li Yifei on the other end of the phone chuckled coldly. Beside him, He Fangqing was extremely angry. Neither of them had any intention of harming others, but being framed repeatedly by the Zhao Family people was disgusting.

"Husband, what are you planning to do?" He Fangqing asked.

"What to do? Of course, catch him!"

"Catch him and beat him up?"

"Not only beat him up but drag him to the Zhao Family and beat him there!" Li Yifei said murderously.

"Drag him to the Zhao Family and beat him?" He Fangqing said in disbelief, widening her eyes.

"That’s right, just watch. It’s rare for me to come to South Dian Province, rare to come to the south. If I’m going to do it, I’ll make it a big deal!" Li Yifei said.

He Fangqing blinked her eyes and, seeing Li Yifei had made up his mind, just reminded him, "Safety is most important. Actually, if we can’t secure the project, it’s not a big loss!"

"We have to get the project, and we have to confront the Zhao Family, or they’ll always think we’re easy to bully. Haha, putting aside economic power, the strength of the powerful is the most important. I want the Zhao Family to know what a real expert is and what it means to be untouchable this time!"

He Fangqing couldn’t help but hold Li Yifei’s hand gently, "Husband, your safety is just as important to us sisters. I know I can’t accompany you this time, so please take care of yourself. The Zhao Family has operated in Southern Sky for so many years; who knows how many skilled people they have? We should be careful!"

"Of course, I won’t be reckless, but we also need to show momentum. After this fight, I want the Zhao Family to fear us. I want them not to dare to provoke the Li Family from Ning Province, even to avoid us when they see us!"

"Husband, you’re the best!" He Fangqing, like a little girl, went over and gave Li Yifei a kiss.

"Be good, I’ll reward you tonight!" Li Yifei teased.

"Mhm-mhm!" He Fangqing nodded.

More than ten minutes later, a man walked out of the gates of the finance bureau’s building. Li Yifei glanced at his phone and saw the person matched the photo. This was Zhao Xianmin, not particularly short, at least tall among Southern people, likely over 1.75 meters. Wearing a short-sleeved shirt and carrying a briefcase, he walked out quickly. After some reckoning, he spotted the car where Li Yifei was and eagerly came over.

A minute later, Zhao Xianmin arrived beside the car, only to see an unfamiliar face in the driver’s seat and a woman in the passenger seat. Zhao Xianmin was slightly confused, thinking he had found the wrong car. The driver’s side door opened, and Li Yifei got out and walked toward Zhao Xianmin.

"You’re Chief Zhao, right?" Li Yifei spoke. The reason the other party didn’t recognize him was that Li Yifei used True Qi to slightly obscure his face, making it look as if it was covered by a thin haze. Zhao Xianmin was puzzled as to why he couldn’t see him clearly.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Yifei moved his hand and directly grabbed Zhao Xianmin’s body. The latter felt a numbness, losing control over his body in an instant, and was dragged by Li Yifei towards the black car. Zhao Xianmin’s eyes were filled with fear, wanting to shout but realized he couldn’t utter a word and was greatly shocked.

Li Yifei shoved him into the car. He Fangqing had already moved to the driver’s seat, started the vehicle, and sped off quickly.

Unlocking Zhao Xianmin’s acupoint, he regained some composure and coldly asked, "Who are you? If you’re after money, I can give you three hundred thousand!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Chief Zhao’s life is only worth three hundred thousand?" Li Yifei asked.

"Five hundred thousand, not a penny more. I’m an official, I don’t have that much money!" Zhao Xianmin said.

"I think five hundred thousand is too little. A dignified Zhao Family person, five hundred thousand for a life is really too little. I think you should at least be worth a hundred million!" Li Yifei said.

"A hundred million? How is that possible, don’t kid me. Not even the direct descendants are worth that much. Although my last name is Zhao, I don’t have much to do with the Zhao Family!" Zhao Xianmin hurriedly said.

"Not much to do?" Li Yifei asked again.

Zhao Xianmin nodded repeatedly, he was actually a bit flustered. After all, the other party knew even about his Zhao Family status, which meant they had put a lot of effort into this, so he said, "Indeed, not much related, just some distant relatives, but the distance has made it fade away!"

"If the relationship is so distant, why do you still want to help the Zhao Family people frame others?" Li Yifei asked.

Zhao Xianmin’s body jolted at these words, his eyes widened in shock as he stared at Li Yifei, his lips trembling. It took him several seconds to panic and say, "You... who are you? How do you know these things?"

"Haha, you can’t even recognize the person you’re trying to harm, how foolish!" Li Yifei laughed coldly, withdrawing the True Qi on his face. Zhao Xianmin’s breath halted; he could never have imagined that Li Yifei, the one he was trying to frame, would suddenly be right beside him.

"You... where is Ye Liangchen?" Zhao Xianmin’s body was being controlled, completely unable to struggle. Now, only his head could move as his heart raced.

"Ye Liangchen sold you out." Li Yifei replied.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xianmin couldn’t help but curse, "Damn Zhao Xianmin, **** your ancestors!"

"It’s Ye Liangchen..." Li Yifei looked at Zhao Xianmin slightly speechless, the guy in his agitation cursed himself...

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Xianmin was initially terrified, but in that instant, he suddenly calmed down. Coming from a big family, even in the current situation, he still had some confidence. While thinking rapidly, Zhao Xianmin analyzed whether Li Yifei dared to kill him. As long as he wasn’t killed, he could survive, and if he survived... once he informed the Zhao Family, they would have enough power to protect him.

The Zhao Family is strong precisely because of its unity and strict rules. But once a member of the Zhao Family is humiliated by outsiders, the Zhao Family people will definitely lend a hand without hesitation. So as long as the Zhao Family knows this, perhaps even the clan chief will intervene, especially since the matter involves Li Yifei.

With this thought, Zhao Xianmin actually gained some confidence, the terror slowly fading from his face.

Li Yifei observed his change in expression, noticing his heartbeat had also stabilized a lot, and his face was not as fearful, which was slightly surprising.

"Do the thing you want to do to me." Li Yifei replied indifferently.

"I... Li Yifei, you better not go too far. This is Zhao Family’s territory. If you dare to do anything to me here, you won’t have a good time either." Zhao Xianmin threatened.

Li Yifei smiled, looking at him, he said, "Then why don’t you tell me how Zhao Family will make it bad for me?"

Zhao Xianmin opened his mouth and replied, "You can’t imagine Zhao Family’s power. Li Yifei, daring to be so arrogant in the Southern Sky, you truly are courting death!"

"Isn’t this the South Dian Province? How did it become the Southern Sky Province?" Li Yifei retorted.

Zhao Xianmin paused, then said, "The Zhao Family similarly has enormous influence in the South Dian Province!"

"Is that so? So they sent a pushover like you to disgust me? The Zhao Family’s setup is quite big indeed, haha, it’s a pity you’re too stupid, and the plan you came up with is too stupid."

"You... Li Yifei, you better release me now. I can pretend this didn’t happen. Otherwise... just the charge of kidnapping a government official is enough to have you locked away!"

"Is that so? But you directing someone to trump up charges, breaking into someone else’s home, carrying a packet of drugs with the intent to frame, isn’t that a crime?" Li Yifei retorted.

Zhao Xianmin was momentarily at a loss for words. Indeed, he had committed a crime first, then Li Yifei continued, "You gamble, you accept the loss. Since you’re at the gambling table, don’t cry about it. I didn’t provoke you, you were the one who made the first move against me. Now that I’ve caught you, you ought to bow your head and apologize. Haha, as for your biggest support, the Zhao Family... unfortunately, in my eyes, it’s just a larger trash heap!"

"You’re insulting the Zhao Family!" Zhao Xianmin felt a surge of anger mixed with grief. He, a dignified chief and a Zhao Family descendant, being caught and verbally insulted by someone, yet having no power to retaliate.

"Insult? This counts as an insult? Zhao Xianmin, I’ll let you see with your own eyes and clearly understand what truly counts as insulting the Zhao Family!" Li Yifei’s smile disappeared, his expression turned grave as he spoke in a cold tone.

Zhao Xianmin could see Li Yifei’s profile and hear his voice, and an unfounded fear arose from the depths of his heart, as if... the words Li Yifei spoke about insulting the Zhao Family had just begun, and it would certainly be big news.
