Chapter 950: So You Were Waiting Here All Along!

? Cloud Peak No. 1. Reception Room!

Li Yi glanced at Yang Wenguang and said with a smile, “Brother-in-law, judging by your complexion, you seem to have recovered quite well!”

Yang Wenguang smiled and replied, “It’s true. Not only has my body fully recovered, but after these past few months of training, my strength has returned to about eighty percent of what it used to be. It’s just a pity…”

“What’s the pity?”

“It’s just a pity that I’m getting older. I’m afraid it’s unlikely I’ll ever return to my former peak condition!” Yang Wenguang said with a touch of regret.

“Haha, regaining eighty percent is still pretty good. After all, you’re no longer in the military—you don’t need to charge into battle anymore. As long as you can defend yourself, that’s enough!” Li Yi said with a smile.

Yang Wenguang shook his head. “No. Compared to when I was in the military, I feel the situation now is even more dangerous. Strength is more crucial than ever.”

Li Yi was taken aback for a moment, then asked, “What’s up, brother-in-law? Did something happen?”

“Hmm!”

Then Yang Wenguang said in a grave tone, “Xiao Yi, do you remember the South Monkey Gang?”

“I remember. That’s the gang Gusta bought off, right? What’s happened to them?”

Yang Wenguang replied immediately, “Starting last month, the British Hong Kong government suddenly lifted restrictions on South Monkey refugees. Nearly 100,000 South Monkey refugees in the refugee camps are now free to leave their gathering points and go into the city to work.”

“A significant portion of these people have joined the South Monkey Gang. In a very short time, the gang’s numbers have skyrocketed. On top of that, they’ve managed to get their hands on a massive amount of weapons and equipment from who knows where. Now those guys are getting restless, and it’s becoming increasingly difficult for us to control them!”

Hearing this, Li Yi couldn’t help but let a cold smile play at the corners of his mouth.

Just as he’d suspected—given those Westerners’ vindictive nature, after suffering such a major setback in the capital, how could they possibly let it go without a fight?

So they’d been waiting for him right here!

Li Yi wouldn’t believe for a second that this situation hadn’t been fueled by those politicians in London.

After all, over the past few years, the sudden influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees from the Southern Monkey Kingdom had caused immense trouble for both public order and the economy in the Hong Kong region, giving the British Hong Kong government a massive headache.

To manage these refugees, they spared no expense in building refugee camps and assigning dedicated staff to oversee them, with annual expenditures running into the billions.

Now, suddenly and without warning, they’ve lifted restrictions, allowing these refugees to move freely across the island. Unless the government has been kicked in the head by a donkey, they must have been forced to do this.

And as for who could have forced the British Hong Kong government to back down—you don’t even need to think hard to figure that out.

“What are those bastards up to now?” Li Yi asked in a low voice.

“Nothing yet, but they’re showing signs of reneging on their promises!” Yang Wenguang replied.

“So what are you planning to do? Do you have a contingency plan?”

Yang Wenguang replied immediately, “We’ve discussed it with Old Huang. His view is that to deal with these unruly bastards, we need to use thunderous force—make an example of them!”

“Old Yan and the others feel the same way. These bastards should have been dead long ago; we just held back because we were worried about the body count. Since these bastards still dare to bare their fangs, we might as well just take care of them. But as for the specifics, they’d like to hear your opinion.”

However, Li Yi shook his head and said, “No, we can’t act just yet!”

“Why?”

“The South Monkey Gang clearly has someone backing them. Otherwise, they couldn’t have grown so fast. If I’m not mistaken, the ones supporting their growth are either the British Hong Kong government or the people behind it!”

Li Yi continued, “The South Monkey Gang is just a small pawn they’ve pushed to the front. The truly vicious ones are those politicians in London. As expected, they’re all watching to see if we make a move. Once we do, they’ll have an excuse to come after us!”

Yang Wenguang was quick-witted and immediately grasped Li Yi’s meaning. He asked, “Xiao Yi, are you saying this is a trap set for us?”

“Exactly!”

“If that’s the case, then we certainly can’t act rashly. After all, we’re on their turf right now. Once those foreigners are determined to take us down, even our superiors won’t be able to intervene openly!” Yang Wenguang said.

Li Yi nodded and said, “We certainly can’t be reckless, but that doesn’t mean we’re just going to let them push us around.”

“Xiao Yi, what do you plan to do?”

“Since they’ve already made their move, the South Monkey Gang probably isn’t their only pawn. Have the intelligence department keep an eye on the other gangs for a while and see if they’ve been up to anything.”

“Alright!”

“Also, look into the South Monkey Gang again. Find out who’s backing them and what their objectives are!” Li Yi said.

“Got it, I’ll get right on it!”

“Also, keep a tight grip on all the major and minor media outlets in Hong Kong. Since they’re trying to intimidate us, they’ll definitely try to control public opinion!” Li Yi said.

“Understood!”

Seeing that Li Yi had no further orders, Yang Wenguang finally spoke up: “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now…”

“Wait a minute. Is work the only thing we have to talk about?” Li Yi asked with a smile.

“No… it’s just that work matters are more important!”

Then Yang Wenguang added, “So, how are your sister and Ruirui doing?”

“My sister’s doing just fine, but little Ruirui isn’t doing so well!”

Hearing this, Yang Wenguang’s expression immediately turned tense, and he asked, “What’s wrong with Ruirui? Is he sick?”

“He’s not sick, he just doesn’t want to go to school, so he’s been crying and throwing tantrums every day!”

As he spoke, Li Yi pulled a thick envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Yang Wenguang.

Although Yang Wenguang was puzzled—his son wasn’t even two years old yet, so what kind of school could he possibly be going to?—he still took the envelope.

With a mix of anticipation and confusion, he opened the unsealed envelope and pulled out a thick stack of photos.

Some of the photos were of his wife, Li Mei, and some of his son, while others showed all three children playing together.

But most of them were of his son with a runny nose—some showed him crying so hard his snot was bubbling, others had him rolling around on the floor, looking both pitiful and heartbreaking.

After looking through the photos, Yang Wenguang immediately asked, “Xiao Yi, Ruirui is so young—why is he already in school?”

Li Yi smiled and said, “It’s all because of you, his own father!”

“How is this my fault? What does this have to do with me?” Yang Wenguang said with a look of innocence.

“My sister is pregnant!” Li Yi blurted out, dropping a bombshell.

“So she’s pregnant. What does that have to do with the kid going to school…”

Suddenly, Yang Wenguang seemed to realize something and exclaimed excitedly, “Xiao Yi, what did you just say? Mei Zi is pregnant?”

“Yeah, we found out after we got back from Hong Kong. She even fainted once because of it…”

“Is Meizi okay…?”

“Don’t worry, she just didn’t get enough rest. It’s nothing serious.”

Li Yi continued, “But since my older sister is pregnant, she can’t look after Ruirui, nor can she take care of my two little ones, so after discussing it, we decided to send all three of them to daycare.”

“Brother-in-law, you have no idea what those little ones were like when they first started school—they were crying and throwing tantrums, and just wouldn’t cooperate at all.”

Thinking of how his little darlings would cry their eyes out every day on their way to school, Li Yi couldn’t help but let the corners of his mouth turn up slightly.

“Hahaha, all kids are like that when they first start school. They’ll get used to it after a while!” Yang Wenguang said with a laugh.

“Don’t you feel bad about it anymore?”

“Not really. I do feel a little bad for Meizi—it’s my fault!” Yang Wenguang said, blushing.

“Heh, that’s all I needed to hear from you!”

Then Li Yi added, “But you’ve got a heavier burden on your shoulders now. From now on, always think about your family first. Avoid physical conflict whenever possible, and if there’s danger, prioritize your own safety.”

“Got it. Better safe than sorry!”

“Good to hear. I won’t say much more about the rest—just weigh your options carefully!”

“Got it. I’ll head back now. Once I’m done with this busy period, I want to go back and see Mei and the kids!” Yang Wenguang said.

“Alright, we’ll go back together then!”

“Alright…”
