Chapter 2435 - 2499: Exposed
Confused was Zhang Dabao, but others were clear-headed. Li Yifei had always known the truth about this guy, and Aoki Reiko was also clearly aware that the man opposite was an impostor. Not to mention what Mr. Mu Fei was like when she first met him, just the performance earlier would never earn Aoki Reiko’s admiration.Zhang Dabao’s face kept changing, and he forced himself to calm down, pulling out an awkward smile as he said, "Miss Reiko, your friend really knows how to joke, hehe, I am Mr. Mu Fei, how could I not be? I mentioned before, due to my job, I have played many roles, so that was just another facet of me."
Aoki Reiko no longer believed him. Hearing him continue to lie, she almost couldn’t restrain herself from questioning him, but Li Yifei spoke before she could, "I heard Mr. Mu Fei is very skilled, so feel free to strike at me."
"Impossible, I won’t strike at an ordinary person, that goes against my principles!" Zhang Dabao shook his head.
"It’s alright, I’m no ordinary person." Li Yifei said as he stood up. Zhang Dabao instinctively leaned back, but as he was sitting, he nearly fell over. Li Yifei continued, "I’m no ordinary person, so you can strike at me without worrying about any consequences."
"Li Fei, I’m not joking with you, I won’t strike at ordinary people. Besides, you’re Miss Reiko’s friend, I’d never do such a thing, of course, if you feel displeased with me, hit me a couple of times; I can merely refrain from striking back, after all, you can’t hurt me either." Zhang Dabao said.
A retreat as an advance? Li Yifei smiled faintly and said, "Don’t speak to me like that. If you can’t prove yourself, the words I’ve spoken will be fulfilled."
"I am Mr. Mu Fei, and Mr. Mu Fei is me, there’s nothing to prove. Since I can recount events with Miss Reiko from back then, it proves I am Mr. Mu Fei. What else do you want me to prove? Ridiculous, Li Fei, who do you think you are to question me!"
"Then, who do you think you are to speak to me that way?" A murderous intent flashed in Li Yifei’s eyes, and Aoki Reiko could no longer hold herself back, scolding, "Enough, I don’t care who you are, but since you dare to impersonate Mr. Mu Fei, I guarantee you’ll regret it!"
Dong, a heavy drumbeat struck Zhang Dabao’s heart, he finally couldn’t remain composed. Of course, his previous composure was just a facade. He immediately stood up, feeling weak in the knees, looking at Aoki Reiko, wiping the sweat off his forehead, he panicked and said, "Miss Reiko, listen to me, I am your Mr. Mu Fei, don’t you remember those things from back then?"
"I remember the things from then, but you are not Mr. Mu Fei. Pretending to be him to deceive me is unforgivable!"
"Women are indeed forgetful, it seems you’ve long forgotten those things from the past. Fine then, if you’ve forgotten, I won’t dwell on it. The bullet I gave you... I’ll take it back, and when I meet a woman worth loving, I’ll give it to her, but you... you’re not worth it!" Zhang Dabao looked deeply hurt, expression filled with grief. As he grabbed the bullet and continued, "I regret coming to Tokyo, I regret meeting you, you’ve shattered all my lovely fantasies about that adorable woman."
These words still had a powerful effect on Aoki Reiko. As she heard his words, her face turned pale, feeling her heart ache not because of what was said, but out of fear... that even the real Mr. Mu Fei might speak to her in such a manner.
If even the real Mr. Mu Fei said those words to her, Aoki Reiko felt she would probably be heartbroken beyond repair.
I never even said these things to Reiko, yet this imposter dares to utter them. Li Yifei’s eyebrows shot up, and he said, "It’s not your place to try anything desperate now."
"Yifei..." Aoki Reiko’s cold hand grabbed his wrist, gripping tightly. Aoki Reiko knew Li Yifei’s destructive power, one punch from him would be unbearable even for an expert, let alone for an ordinary person. Although the man across was insufferable, he still knew about that matter. Aoki Reiko wanted to investigate through this person to see if she could find the real Mr. Mu Fei.
This was a clue after all, so she didn’t let Li Yifei teach the man a lesson right away. She expressed her thoughts, and Li Yifei sighed in his heart. Aoki Reiko’s infatuation with Mu Fei... with his alter ego really made him feel slightly sour inside.
Zhang Dabao, noticing he couldn’t move, hadn’t thought of running yet, especially after hearing Aoki Reiko’s words. Zhang Dabao realized there was no hope for a good ending today, oh no, probably no good end at all. He had offended the daughter of Japan’s top conglomerate, if he still got away unscathed, that would indeed be surprising.
Thud, Zhang Dabao suddenly knelt on the ground, a head full of sweat as he pleaded, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I was wrong, Miss Aoki Reiko, I’m a fake, I apologize to you!"
Hearing Zhang Dabao admit he was an impersonator with her own ears, the last bit of hope in Aoki Reiko’s heart instantly vanished like a burst bubble. She wavered slightly, all her time spent longing to hear news of Mr. Mu Fei, hoping to see him again, the joy she felt upon hearing he had arrived in Tokyo reached its peak in that one moment. It was her happiest day in a long time.
And the result... the other person turned out to be fake, he was an impostor, Aoki Reiko’s tears immediately flowed.
"Mr. Yifei, please forgive the trouble, I... need some time to adjust." Aoki Reiko said as she headed toward the exit. Li Yifei intended to hold her back, reaching out but pulling back his hand again, sighing inside. He sent a message to the saintess, asking her to keep an eye, knowing she was aware of the situation.
Once Aoki Reiko left, Zhang Dabao was thoroughly panicked. As he retreated, he saw Li Yifei approaching aggressively. Zhang Dabao hurriedly said, "What... what do you intend to do? I’ll have you know Japan is a country ruled by law. If you dare touch me, I’ll sue you!"
"Talking about the law with me?" Li Yifei sneered, "Zhang Dabao, it seems you’ve got quite the nerve."
Zhang Dabao heard the front and was about to answer, but upon hearing the name ’Zhang Dabao,’ he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. How did he know his name? How was it possible?
When I left, I hid all my identity information and such. How does this Li Fei know about it?
He actually knows my name, does he also know my true identity? Does that mean they knew who I was from the beginning, either he or Aoki Reiko? They were playing me all along!
"Curious about how I know your name?" Li Yifei stepped closer. Zhang Dabao realized he had turned into a clown today. He groaned and said, "Guess I accept my fate, what do you want?"
"What do I want? Haha, you want to know why I think you’re a fool?"
"We’re both Huaxia people, be lenient where possible, let me go this time, and I’ll repay you in the future if there’s a chance!" Zhang Dabao said, ostensibly confidently.
"I could have, especially since we’re in Japan, normally I’d lend a hand to a compatriot. Unfortunately, what you’ve done is utterly despicable, not only swindling money but also trying to court someone. Zhang Dabao, your scheming is quite impressive!" Li Yifei laughed slightly as he spoke.
"I know I was wrong, so Li... Brother Li, let me go, I... I’ll return the money, I’ll even throw in an extra hundred thousand, and I’ll swear never to do this again." Zhang Dabao said.
"You clearly haven’t realized the seriousness of the problem." Li Yifei shook his head.
Zhang Dabao’s complexion turned unsightly. Holding up for so long, he finally broke down, saying with a sob, "Brother Li, I’m truly aware of my mistake, it was a moment of foolishness. Since you know my name, you probably also know how I came to know about these things, so..."
"There’s something I want to tell you now, and just for now, only you." Li Yifei interrupted Zhang Dabao. Confronted with Li Yifei’s words, he trembled and said, "Brother Li... what is it?"
"The Mr. Mu Fei you were impersonating, is actually me, and the person you wanted to deceive is also someone I protect. So do you think I’ll let you go?" Li Yifei spoke casually, but in Zhang Dabao’s ears, it sounded like a clap of thunder crashing in his mind.
So... that’s how it is! Zhang Dabao still wanted to plead, but alas, his life ended with conscious awareness here.
Li Yifei didn’t kill him, for as Zhang Dabao said, they were compatriots after all, so he couldn’t kill him, especially since they were overseas. But not killing didn’t mean he wouldn’t punish. To think of walking away unpunished after committing such vile deeds, wasn’t that a fantasy? So Li Yifei simply made Zhang Dabao an idiot. Though not dead, he would live like a fool.
Such a punishment, you couldn’t blame Li Yifei, since he had committed such acts.
After handling matters there, Li Yifei went to find the saintess, only to find the room empty. He asked a servant to discover that the three women had already left. He finished the food left on the table before standing to leave. Of course, during this time, he received a message from the saintess, saying Aoki Reiko’s mood was quite poor now, and she had run out of the clubhouse. The saintess chased after, and Suzuki Kawako also drove over.
Now, the saintess took Aoki Reiko to a nearby residence, because her emotions were too agitated, the saintess had to let her temporarily pass out. Li Yifei didn’t rush, as he thought about wrapping up the matter while eating.
A new message came through, the saintess said, "How about... you just reveal your identity, stop hiding it. Seeing Reiko like that, it’s as if she suddenly lost all hope, it feels terrible."
"I’ll think about it!" Li Yifei responded.
"As your future wife, I’m okay with Reiko joining our family, you can think over the other matters yourself." The saintess replied.
Li Yifei nodded, didn’t reply further, and finished his meal before he stood up and walked out.
