Chapter 2681 - 2743: Facing Off

Skinny Monkey’s sister was so upset, but across from her, Song Shuang showed no sign of apology, and even a hint of satisfaction appeared in her eyes. Her chin lifted slightly as she turned her head aside, completely disregarding Skinny Monkey’s sister.

"My brother just passed away, and you’re like this, Song Shuang, how can you be so heartless!" Skinny Monkey’s sister clutched her chest, speaking weakly.

Without even turning her head, Song Shuang said, "The heartless ones are you. After all, Yang Yang and I were in a relationship, and I’m still grieving since he just passed. And you guys came to grab things. You guys are really something."

"Is that grabbing? I’m just trying to retrieve something for my parents. That car is worth millions, enough for my parents’ future life," Skinny Monkey’s sister said, blushing. "It’s not a small amount. We’re also considering your relationship, so we’re not taking the jewelry he gave you — it’s all left for you. Do you still intend to keep the car?"

Song Shuang turned her head, glanced disdainfully at Skinny Monkey’s sister, and directly called her name, saying, "Yang Li, I’ll say it again, the car was bought by me, and the name on it is mine, not Yang Yang’s, and definitely not yours. Wanting this car is impossible!"

Song Shuang’s aura immediately intensified, as if she wasn’t afraid of the Yang family at all. Her raised voice caught the attention of the people inside the courtyard, making Skinny Monkey’s sister — or Yang Li — anxious. She glanced outside nervously, worried about being overheard by relatives and friends. After all, her brother had just died, and she was here to claim items.

But right now, Yang Li was concerned about keeping face, while the other party clearly was not. With such unpleasant words, Li Yifei couldn’t hold back and directly spoke up, "You’re claiming the car is yours?"

Song Shuang completely ignored Li Yifei. At her peak aura, upon hearing him speak, she immediately straightened her posture and asked loudly, "Who are you? What does whether I bought the car have to do with you?"

"I’m Yang Yang’s comrade and also his squad leader!" Li Yifei responded.

"Squad leader? Ha, so what if you are? Does being squad leader allow you to bully others? Let me tell you, this isn’t your military unit, and your military tactics don’t work here," Song Shuang scoffed without fear, seemingly harboring disdain for soldiers deep in her bones.

Li Yifei could sense her emotions but wasn’t provoked by her words. He merely replied, "So I’m asking, who bought the car?"

"I bought it. Didn’t you hear me earlier? What, do you soldiers intend to beat me up? Let me tell you, here, I’m more potent than you. If any of you touch me, I guarantee I’ll ruin this house," Song Shuang said defiantly. Li Yifei furrowed his brows, thinking her tone mirrored that of a street thug. What kind of girlfriend had Skinny Monkey found?

At this point, it wasn’t all Skinny Monkey’s fault. It was just that the other party’s manner of speaking was truly off-putting. Li Yifei didn’t want to bicker anymore, so he straightforwardly said, "Since that’s your attitude, I’ll change the question then!"

"No question will work; I don’t know you, nor do I want to answer any of your questions. Yang Li, Yang Yang just passed, and I think what you’re doing is too excessive — it’s tarnishing my relationship with him!" Song Shuang shouted, as if entirely justified.

Li Yifei, however, sneered, furrowed his brow, and stared at Song Shuang, asking, "Can you tell me where you stayed last night?"

Originally, Song Shuang crossed her arms, looking fierce. But upon hearing Li Yifei’s question, her breath hitched for a few seconds, and her heartbeat changed in that instant. Li Yifei could sense it, which further verified Zhang Tianxing and the others’ investigation.

"What does it have to do with you?" Song Shuang retorted.

Skinny Monkey’s sister, of course, didn’t understand why Li Yifei asked this, though she was curious. However, since Song Shuang had explained earlier, she didn’t question it further. Now that the matter was brought up again, she couldn’t help but look over at Song Shuang.

"Why are you looking at me? Does where I stay have anything to do with you? And as a squad leader, is this how you treat Yang Yang’s girlfriend?" Song Shuang tried to deflect, but Li Yifei was clearly convinced. He let out a cold laugh and said, "Song Shuang, right? Just pretend my brother made a mistake in choosing you. Today, hand over the car and leave obediently; maybe I’ll leave you some dignity..."

"Leave me dignity? Pah, who do you think you are? The mayor? Leave me dignity, you say. I already said the car is mine, and no one can take it. If you dare to forcibly take it, there’ll be plenty of people to deal with you afterward," Song Shuang fumed. However, deep down, she felt a bit uneasy. After all, she didn’t know Li Yifei, but she understood what the Flying Hawk Squad signified. She didn’t expect Yang Yang’s comrades to come today, and those people were not ordinary...

"Song Shuang, don’t speak like that. This man is Yang Yang’s comrade, here to see him off. Show some respect," Skinny Monkey’s sister quickly advised.

"Sis, some things I didn’t want to say now, intending to discuss after Yang Yang was gone. But since Song Shuang has this attitude, don’t blame me for not saving your face!" Li Yifei coldly stated. Hearing this, Song Shuang was about to snap back, but hesitated midway, a pang hit her heart. Recalling the question about where she stayed last night, she felt somewhat guilty.

"Lai’s Hotel, nice place to stay. Not feeling well, yet not staying at home, but ran off to stay there!" Li Yifei said at a moderate pace. Song Shuang took a deep breath, her gaze somewhat wandering. As the saying goes, a guilty conscience betrays itself. Since Song Shuang had done it, she was naturally feeling guilty facing the Yang Family. She didn’t expect that someone here could actually mention the name Lai’s Hotel, especially as they were asking where she stayed last night...

"I stayed at home last night, my own house. I’ve never been to Lai’s Hotel. You better not slander me!" After a few seconds, Song Shuang stabilized her emotions and immediately responded.

Li Yifei snorted a breath through his nostrils, making a ’puff’ sound, and continued, "Room 1024, thirteen hundred forty-five a night, oh, that’s the member price!"

Dong! Song Shuang’s heart skipped a beat, her pupils involuntarily dilated. When people are startled and feel panic, their pupils naturally enlarge, which means she’s feeling very insecure, clearly hit by Li Yifei’s accusation.

Skinny Monkey’s sister looked at Song Shuang, still not comprehending, or rather, not thinking in that direction at all.

"Stop spouting nonsense, sis, this person has a terrible character, he’s slandering me!" This time Song Shuang even called out to her sister, but unfortunately it was too late. Skinny Monkey’s sister didn’t come to her defense but instead asked, "Song Shuang, where exactly did you stay last night? What’s this Lai’s Hotel? How does Little Li even know the room name?"

Li Yifei was clearly in the mourning hall all last night, not sleeping even a bit. Skinny Monkey’s sister was aware. His comrades who came along did go back to sleep, but what’s this got to do with Lai’s Hotel?

"Sis, just listen to what she’s saying and you’ll know." Li Yifei said.

Song Shuang clenched her fist tightly and immediately replied, "I don’t know what you’re talking about, I know nothing of the room you mentioned, I stayed at home last night!"

"Can anyone prove it?"

"No one, who can prove it when I’m at my own home?" Song Shuang replied.

Li Yifei retorted, "The community’s surveillance, the underground parking lot’s surveillance, even the elevator’s surveillance can prove it, don’t tell me your community has nothing at all."

Song Shuang was at a loss for words, getting a bit anxious. Had she known the other party was so aggressive, she might have admitted staying at Lai’s Hotel last night, after all, she could brush it off as feeling unwell. What’s the harm in staying at Lai’s?

At the same time, Song Shuang was also alarmed by the other party’s identity. What kind of person could know these things, could it be they had been tracking her all along? Wouldn’t that mean... everything was exposed!

"Are you investigating me? I’m telling you, this is infringing on my rights, I have the right to hold you accountable," Song Shuang said.

Li Yifei slowly nodded, saying, "Ha, you’re talking to me about rights? Unfortunately, I don’t want to discuss that with you, if you still won’t admit it, then it just means you want me to carry on, Song Shuang, no action remains hidden unless the doer wishes it so, pretending innocence after the fact, now that’s your fault." Li Yifei’s words sounded a bit harsh, at least Skinny Monkey’s sister frowned, after all, she was her brother’s girlfriend, using words like ***** seemed a bit out of line. She was just about to intervene when she heard Song Shuang, as if pricked by a needle, shout, "What do you want me to admit? I stayed at my own home, and you still want to slander me? Yang Li, are you just going to watch these people bully me? Is this how the Yang Family does things?"

This shout alarmed everyone in the courtyard, after all Song Shuang’s voice was too loud. This was her scheme, she wanted to stir things up, knowing Yang Yang’s parents were honest people, or called it timid and avoiding trouble, so they wouldn’t make a fuss. As long as she escaped she would immediately hide for a while, to avoid being entangled by these soldiers, this was the plan she instantly conjured, so she shouted it out.

The people in the courtyard came over to see what was wrong, only to see Li Yifei turn around and block the door, telling them, "It’s nothing, no need to come over, Song Shuang is just having an emotional outburst, let her cry it out."

"Ah, alright then, Yang Li’s here too, maybe she can calm her down, nobody wanted this to happen." A Yang Family relative said.

"You Yang Family..." Song Shuang was about to continue shouting but forgot she was in the car, her head bumped against the roof, making a ’bang’ sound. She held her head and sat back, groaning. This wasn’t caused by Li Yifei, though he would have liked her to shut up for a moment. With this incident, Song Shuang quieted down temporarily. Li Yifei turned back around and said coldly, "If I were you, I’d definitely be quiet and not cause trouble now. After all, once things get stirred up, you’ll be the one in the wrong, the one losing face."

"Little Li, what’s going on, the more I listen, the more confused I get, what exactly did Song Shuang do?" Skinny Monkey’s sister asked in utter confusion.
