Starforce Warriors

Chapter 147: I'm Doing This For Your Own Good

"Are you a member of the Cloudy Sky Gang?"

Su Yuke's tone instantly became harsher.

Li Xiaofei nodded calmly. "That's right, I'm Li Xiaofei, the president of the Cloudy Sky Gang. What is it? Officer Su, do you have a problem with our Cloudy Sky Gang?"

"Of course."

The admiration in Su Yuke's eyes quickly vanished.

She said, "Gangs are the bane of our city. There are thousands of brawls every year, and hundreds of serious injuries or deaths caused by gang conflicts. That doesn’t even include the oppression of the weak and the bullying of ordinary citizens. I think any normal person wouldn't have a favorable opinion of gangs."

"Yes, you're right about everything you said," replied Li Xiaofei, who immediately understood what was happening. Much like cats and mice, they’re in different positions.

Li Xiaofei, not wanting to argue further, said, "Officer Su, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

With that, he turned and went back to his table. He continued preparing hot pot for his aunt.

Su Yuke snorted coldly and couldn't help but angrily say, "I originally thought you were young and decent, so I left my contact information. But I never expected... I hope you take care of yourself and don't contact me again."

Li Xiaofei didn't respond. He simply took out his light core device and deleted the contact information he had just saved right in front of her. Su Yuke's chest heaved with anger.

"I warn you, don't cause any trouble in my jurisdiction." She couldn't help but say sharply, "I know that the Cloudy Sky Gang and the Dragon Claw Gang have been preparing for a showdown, but if I catch you, I don't care who's right or wrong. I won't show any mercy."

Li Xiaofei picked up a piece of boiled meat and placed it on his aunt's plate. "Little Aunt, try this. It's the hind leg meat of the Explosive Pig Beast. It’s tender and delicious."

"You..."

Su Yuke was almost furious. She usually wasn't this easily angered. Otherwise, she wouldn't have become the police captain of the district at such a young age. But today, for some reason, Li Xiaofei had completely ignited the flames of anger within her even though he hadn't said much.

"Sister, please don't be angry."

At this moment, Li Jie couldn't help but stand up and defend her brother, "My brother really isn't a bad person. He has protected many of us."

Su Yuke looked into Li Jie's clear, pure eyes. It was evident that she was a simple and kind-hearted girl. Otherwise, she wouldn't have sincerely spoken to Kong Xinyue earlier. She believed what Li Jie said.

Perhaps Li Xiaofei really did protect many people. But so what? Gang members are always a source of chaos. Maybe he truly protected many of his relatives but he has certainly killed many people too. He has shattered many families, plunging them into deep sorrow.

Su Yuke couldn't believe that the hands of the new president of the Cloudy Sky Gang, a figure rumored to be as fearsome as a demon king, were free from blood.

Which gang leader hasn't emerged from a mountain of corpses and seas of blood?

But when she looked at Li Jie, Su Yuke's tone softened, "Study hard. If you want to leave the slum someday, don't join any gangs. Become someone useful to the country and the nation."

Li Jie immediately responded loudly, "No, I want to join the gang. I will never leave the slum."

Her innocent face was full of stubbornness and determination. Su Yuke was instantly infuriated. She believed that Li Xiaofei must have corrupted this simple young girl.

When she looked into Li Jie's clear yet stubborn eyes, a strong and uncontrollable thought arose in Su Yuke's mind.

I have to find a way to change Li Jie's worldview. I have to save this girl before she steps into the abyss. I have to ensure she becomes a decent person. Absolutely!

"Which school do you go to?" she asked.

A flicker of wariness flashed in Li Jie's large, clear eyes. "I'm not telling you."

Su Yuke smiled and said, "I'll find out."

She patiently and gently explained, "Little sister, I'm a police officer, not a bad person. I'm here to help you."

"I don't need your help."

Li Jie took a step back to stand next to Li Xiaofei. "People from the slum rely on themselves for everything. Even if... I still have my brother to help me."

But the more she spoke like this, the more the righteous young police officer felt a strong sense of responsibility.

"You're still young and don't understand," Su Yuke smiled. "You'll see in the future that I'm doing this for your own good."

After speaking, she looked at Li Xiaofei's back and said, "Remember what I said. It would be best if you didn't cause trouble. Control your subordinates, or I will personally arrest you and send you to jail."

Li Xiaofei didn't respond.

"Let's go." Su Yuke snorted and left with her teammates.

The hot pot hall suddenly fell silent. The clearly terrified restaurant manager stood by Table 12 almost like a servant, not daring to move. The family of three soon finished their hot pot. Li Xiaofei stood up and glanced at the manager.

Thud.

The restaurant manager fell to her knees. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..."

Li Xiaofei ignored her.

"Let's go." He took his aunt's hand and walked outside.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I failed to recognize your importance. Today's meal is on the house. It is our honor to have you dine with us..." The trembling female manager followed them.

Li Xiaofei stopped and turned to look at her. He said, "Do you think I can't afford a meal?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. I was just saying..." replied the manager. Her body shook like a leaf, and her forced smile grew more strained as she struggled to explain.

"Take the money." Li Xiaofei said calmly, "The Cloudy Sky Gang is not a criminal gang; it is a legitimate organization recognized by the city government. Members of the Cloudy Sky Gang, whether dining in the city or eating watermelons in the countryside, always pay for their meals."

With that, he turned and left. The restaurant manager was left with countless questions swirling in her mind.

What did President Li just say? We don't even sell watermelons in our restaurant. What did he mean?

***

In the afternoon, Li Xiaofei finally managed to reach Tan Qingying on the phone and they arranged a time to return the motorcycle. When he met up with her, he also got the phone number for a modification shop from Tan Qingying. Li Xiaofei was planning to modify a motorcycle himself for fun.

"I've been a bit busy lately, but let's set a time soon, and I'll take you there," Tan Qingying said proudly, hands on her hips. "As a novice in motorcycle modification, you're an easy target to be overcharged. You need an expert like me to oversee things."

"Alright."

Li Xiaofei smiled. "I couldn't ask for more."

Tan Qingying suddenly winked and asked, "Did you succeed?"

"Huh?"

"Your goddess, did you win her over?"

"What?"

"Stop pretending. That girl named Zhong Ling, you went so far as to take down Ye Chenglong in a fit of rage for her. You have no idea how many wealthy young ladies now think you're reliable and want to win you over."

"What are you talking about?"

"Hurry up, the news is all over the internet."

"How come I don't know about this? Oh, right, I don't go online much."

"Haha, I'm asking you, did you win her over?"

"No, it's nothing like that. It was just on the way."

"Oh, you're even shy now."

The two of them joked a bit more before saying their goodbyes and going their separate ways.

***

Time passed, but in the blink of an eye, it was the first day of school again.

Early in the morning, just as Li Xiaofei arrived at school, Bai Longfei rushed over with an exaggerated expression. "You’re finally here! Something's happened, something's happened again..."
