Chapter 450: Sent by the Higher-Ups?

After hearing his long-winded reasoning, Li Yiyi rolled her eyes in disbelief. “Stop it. You’re just too scared, aren’t you? Hmph, you were saying nice things just now, talking about helping me hit someone, and now when you hear about their identity, you hesitate.”

“Honey, fighting isn’t good. We can use our intelligence to solve this. My intelligence is pretty good too. Tell me, I’ll help you come up with a solution,” Jiang Hong said, holding her hand and asking.

Li Yiyi didn’t really want him to go after anyone. After hearing his comforting words, she felt a little calmer. She then explained everything that had happened today.

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Hong’s eyes flashed with a sharp light. “Honey, you just said that this Ito Jing had blocked you at the entrance of our military district before, right? You didn’t mention this to me before.”

“Didn’t I? Maybe I forgot. After all, he’s just an insignificant person. What’s the point of mentioning him? I didn’t expect him to be so thick-skinned and manage to influence the higher-ups,” Li Yiyi said with a look of disdain, clearly not wanting to talk much about him.

“No, honey, I can say for sure that you didn’t mention this incident to me when it happened,” Jiang Hong said, his tone a bit angry.

Seeing his serious expression, Li Yiyi smiled awkwardly and quickly grabbed his arm, using a soft tone to say, “Maybe I forgot. If anything like this happens again, I’ll tell you first thing. Alright? Don’t be angry. Can you smile for me?” She pinched his cheeks.

Seeing her act so coquettishly, Jiang Hong found himself calming down instantly.

He sighed helplessly and gently pinched her nose. “Honey, no more of this, okay? I’m your husband. If something happens to you, you have to tell me first so I can help you solve it.”

“Okay, okay. I got it. I’ll remember this deeply in my heart. Next time, I promise I’ll tell you first if something happens,” she quickly promised.

Seeing her sincere assurance, Jiang Hong managed to resolve his frustration. However, he couldn’t help but remember the name Ito Jing.

“I’ll have a good talk with this Ito Jing sometime,” he said through gritted teeth.

Li Yiyi, seeing his intense expression, quickly tugged at his sleeve. “Don’t do anything reckless. Just hitting him is fine, but don’t cause any trouble. Even though I hate those people from R country, this is still our territory. If they cause a scene, we’ll be the ones who suffer.”

Jiang Hong, seeing the concern in her eyes, leaned down and kissed her forehead. “I know. I won’t do anything reckless, honey.”

“Honey, I don’t think Ito Jing has good intentions. All this talk about admiring you… I think he’s up to something. If you see him again, keep your distance,” he said after a pause.

Li Yiyi nodded. “I know.” She looked at him seriously. “Jiang Hong, if I lose my job and become unemployed, it looks like this family will have to depend on you!”

Of course, with the things in her space supermarket, it was impossible for her family to go hungry. She was just teasing the man in front of her.

Jiang Hong, unaware of her thoughts, sincerely held her hand. “Don’t worry. My salary has gone up to over 100 now. It’s enough to support our family.”

Li Yiyi smiled, satisfied with his answer. “That answer pleases me. But don’t worry. I have skills. If worst comes to worst, I can open a private clinic. Maybe I’ll make a lot of money!”

“I think that’s a good idea. I’ll have someone look for shops nearby in the city. We’ll rent one, fix it up, and open a ‘Li’s Medical Shop.’ How does that sound?” Jiang Hong said, growing more excited as he spoke, as if he were the one opening the shop.

Li Yiyi laughed at his enthusiasm and nodded. “That sounds good.”

The couple spent the whole night discussing their plans, even planning how many shops they might open in the future.

Talking about these things made them both excited, and as a result, Li Yiyi woke up late the next day.

Meanwhile, Jiang Hong, who had stayed up as late as she did, still woke up early to train as usual.

After breakfast, Li Yiyi slowly returned to her room to prepare the resignation letter she needed to submit today.

She had already thought about how to write it. She planned to tell the truth, including her dissatisfaction with the situation. After all, she didn’t plan to continue working there.

As she was writing smoothly, she suddenly heard voices from outside asking if anyone was home.

She put her pen down, stood up, and walked toward the yard.

When she reached the living room door, she saw a woman from the family compound leading a few people inside.

“Li Yiyi, you’re home! Great! I just met these people on the road, and they were asking about your house. Since I was passing by, I brought them here,” the woman, Mrs. He, said warmly, as was her usual nature.

Li Yiyi glanced at the three unfamiliar men behind her and nodded politely at them.

“Thank you, Mrs. He. Please come in and sit for a while?” Li Yiyi said enthusiastically.

Mrs. He waved her hands, saying, “No, no, I still need to go home and wash clothes. You two talk. I’ll head back now.”

“Alright, take care, Mrs. He. Come visit us when you have time.” Li Yiyi personally escorted her to the door, and once Mrs. He left, she turned to face the three middle-aged men standing in the yard.

She wasn’t worried these people might be bad, as anyone who could come in here had already been checked by the guards.

“Who are you?” she asked politely.

“Are you Li Yiyi?” one of the men asked seriously.

Li Yiyi looked at their outfits. Though they were all wearing Zhongshan suits, they exuded an air of authority. A bold thought flashed through her mind.

“Yes, I am Li Yiyi. Are you sent by the higher-ups?” she asked directly.

Upon hearing her question, the three men froze for a moment before exchanging a glance. Then, in the next second, laughter echoed clearly throughout the quiet yard.
