Chapter 47: The Beauty Concedes Defeat

  Su Mengxi was extremely familiar with the surroundings of the mountain peak, and even with her eyes closed, she could still reach the top smoothly. Her speed was as agile as a cheetah, quickly traversing the interior of the mountain. After about half an hour, she finally arrived at the summit, where Su Mengxi took a look around and saw that Li Yi had not yet arrived, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

  Arriving at the foot of a giant pine tree on the mountain top, Su Mengxi found a clean big stone to sit down. She was waiting for Li Yi to come, and as long as Li Yi came, the bet would be over. At first, Su Mengxi waited with full confidence, but after more than an hour, Li Yi still hadn't appeared. She furrowed her brow, puzzled: "Where's Li Yi? He can't have gotten lost, can he?"

  "Hmm! She's probably lost, or I'll wait for her a bit longer!" Su Mengxi originally wanted to go down the mountain to find Li Yi, but thinking that if she left now, what if Li Yi arrived first? Wouldn't there be no evidence that she had come first? That being the case, Su Mengxi could only continue waiting, and so waited for more than two hours, until the sky was almost dark, still without seeing Li Yi.

  "What's going on, is he afraid of losing and ran away halfway?" Su Mengxi thought about it and felt that something was off. The surrounding defense was strict, and there were electric nets everywhere outside the mountain peak. Even if Li Yi wanted to leave, he couldn't do so. Even if he left through the main gate, it would be impossible. After all, Li Yi was brought in by her, and without her, the soldiers at the sentry post wouldn't let him out.

  Su Mengxi couldn't understand why Li Yi hadn't appeared yet, she hesitated for a moment, took out her phone from her pocket and dialed a number. Soon, Su Mengxi got a response from the other end, and the tone was very affirmative, Li Yi had not come down since he went up the mountain, and now he must still be at the top of the mountain.

  This result completely didn't enter Su Mengxi's consideration, she stood at the top of the mountain and looked down, hoping to find Li Yi's figure. After looking for a while, Su Mengxi was disappointed again, Li Yi seemed to have evaporated from the world, and it was impossible to find him. At this time, Su Mengxi became worried, would he get lost in the forest?!

  Thinking of this, Su Mengxi felt that the possibility was not great, the mountain forest was not big, and one could see the edge at a glance. How could someone get lost in such a small place? Moreover, Li Yi looked like a clever person, how could he make such a mistake? What's going on here? Su Mengxi was depressed, just thinking of calling for help to find Li Yi, when suddenly a lazy voice came from behind her.

  "It's so comfortable sleeping! I really want to sleep for another three hundred years."

  This voice was all too familiar. Su Mengxi suddenly turned around and saw someone lying on the branches of a big tree, who else could it be but Li Yi?

  Li Yi stretched his waist and also saw Su Mengxi, lazily saying: "You've finally arrived."

  "Li Yi, what are you doing here?" Su Mengxi thought of her worries earlier and let out a cold hum. What is this kid up to? Wasn't she worried for nothing just now?

  Li Yi jumped down from the big tree and said seriously: "Beautiful girl, you can't blame me."

  "Can't blame you?" Su Mengxi was furious. She hadn't even questioned Li Yi about why he was hiding in the tree, but he had already shifted all the responsibility onto her.

  "Right!" Li Yi nodded and said, "If you hadn't come late, I would have been asleep here. It's too cold here, what if I catch a chill?"

  Upon hearing this, Su Mengxi was furious and laughed angrily: "I arrived here long ago, don't tell me you came earlier than I did."

  "I certainly arrived earlier than you, and much earlier at that." Li Yi said with certainty.

  Su Mengxi's face was full of disbelief. She didn't believe that Li Yi's speed could surpass hers. She coldly hummed, "I only took half an hour to get here, when did you arrive?"

  "Ah!" Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "It seems like it only took ten or so minutes!"

  Su Mengxi was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and made an excuse: "Impossible, the road is here, and it's also climbing a mountain, how can you only use more than ten minutes?"

  Li Yi waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to continue on this topic, and suddenly changed the subject: "Then I'll ask you, if I hadn't arrived early, how could I have been hiding in the tree?"

  "That......" Su Mengxi really couldn't think of a reason, but thinking of the stakes this time, she retorted, "That's because you're afraid of losing, so you secretly climbed up from that side." As she spoke, she pointed to the steep cliff behind Li Yi.

  Li Yi let out a wry smile and shrugged his shoulders, saying: "My beautiful woman, you're really good at making things up. I don't want to explain, come over and take a look. If you can climb from down there to the top of the tree without anyone noticing, I'll admit defeat." As he spoke, he motioned for Su Mengxi to come over and take a look.

  Su Mengxi was very familiar with the surroundings, even if she didn't look, she knew that it was impossible to climb up from that place, let alone climb up the tree without anyone noticing. But if Li Yi hadn't sneaked up, how could he have run up the tree? Was it really as he said, that he had arrived at the tree early?

  "How is this possible!" Su Mengxi knew that the possibility was very great, she really couldn't understand how Li Yi had done it.

  Of course, there is only one possibility, that is, Li Yi is a cultivator. For a powerful cultivator, this little problem can't stump him.

  These thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, Su Mengxi took a deep breath of cool air and said: "This time you win."

  Li Yi was immediately displeased upon hearing this and sulkily said, "What do you mean I won? I originally won anyway! Beauty, if you gamble, you must admit defeat."

  "Hmph!" Su Mengxi glared at Li Yi, pouting and saying, "I don't believe you're that physically fit. Let's compete again and see who gets to the foot of the mountain first."

  Li Yi burst out laughing, his smile was indescribably sly.

  Su Mengxi's eyebrows slightly moved, and she couldn't help but say: "What are you smiling at?"

  "Great beauty, I've already won, why waste my energy?" Li Yi said, "My energy is very precious! If I use it all up now, how can I have a fierce battle with you for 300 rounds tonight?"

  A man and a woman said such words, the meaning of which is obvious.

  Su Mengxi's cheeks immediately flushed, and soon returned to normal, smiling: "Good! I'll wait for you tonight to have a big battle with me for 300 rounds." As she spoke, she quickly ran down the mountain.

  Li Yi didn't chase after him, instead he walked leisurely down the stairs at the foot of the mountain, neither fast nor slow.

  As the saying goes, it's easy to go up a mountain but hard to come down. Su Mengxi took almost an hour to get down the mountain and went straight into an office in the building.

  He knocked on the door and heard Wu Sifeng's voice from inside, "Come in!"

  Su Mengxi adjusted her police uniform and walked lightly into the office, first giving a military salute, saying: "First time, mission failed, I..."

  "What are you doing?! Why have you delayed for so long?" Wu Sifeng said somewhat unhappily, as if he had gotten the wrong idea and thought the two were having a wild fight on the mountain.

  Su Mengxi also thought of that layer and hurriedly explained: "Chief, it's not what you think, we..." Then she briefly told him about the events of the afternoon.

  Wu Sifeng's expression changed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and said: "You say he reached the top of the mountain in just over ten minutes?"

  "General, I don't believe it either, but if it's not true, why was he able to go up the mountain ahead of time?" Su Mengxi said doubtfully.

  Wu Sifeng picked up the phone on the table and said a few words to the other end, then turned to Su Mengxi and said: "If you want to know the answer, come with me!"

  Two people entered another house, this house was all computer equipment, and even a huge supercomputer.

  In front of one computer, a young man wearing glasses sat. After seeing Wu Si-feng, he stood up and said: "First game, the things you need have been called out."

  "You're a computer expert, analyze it later, how many seconds did Li Yi's speed reach." Wu Sifeng said and sat down on the chair beside him.

  The young man put his hands on the keyboard and typed quickly, saying immediately: "About three meters per second."

  "Ahh!!!"

  Wu Sifeng and Su Mengxi were both stunned, they looked at each other, the latter couldn't help but ask: "Dr. Zhao, did you make a mistake? Is this his speed?"

  "The mountain road is rugged, and this speed is pretty good. Don't forget, I was just testing his speed through that thorny forest earlier." Dr. Zhao said slowly.

  Su Mengxi was amused and said: "Are you kidding us? If he climbs the mountain at this speed, do you think he can reach the top in half an hour?"

  "No way, at least an hour or so." Dr. Zhao suddenly thought of something and said hastily, "Wait a minute, what did you just say? Testing his speed going up the mountain?"

  Su Mengxi only then noticed that on the computer's surveillance screen, it was recording Li Yi's descent down the mountain, and he had now reached the middle of the mountain.

  Wu Si Feng saw Su Meng Xi's strange expression, and subconsciously glanced at the computer screen. His face turned gloomy as he said, "Go retrieve his record of going up the mountain this afternoon."

  "I'll go right away." Dr. Zhao also knew that the video playback was wrong, and he was embarrassed for a moment, then quickly started typing on the keyboard, and this typing lasted for more than ten minutes, still showing no signs of stopping.

  Wu Sifeng and others were impatient. He got up and walked to Dr. Zhao's side, asking with a gloomy face: "What's going on? Haven't you adjusted it yet?"

  Dr. Zhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked up at Wu Sifeng, and let out a bitter laugh, seemingly unsure of how to respond.

  "Aren't you a computer expert?" Wu Sifeng apparently guessed something and said seriously, "Tell me about the current situation and analyze it for me."

  Dr. Zhao let out a subtle sigh of relief, pointing to the video time on the computer screen: "This is when Li Yi went up the mountain. After he entered the mountains, he walked out of the surveillance range, and then I pulled out all the surveillance records around him, but still couldn't find his figure. So, I can't measure his speed."

  Dr. Zhao paused for a moment, then pointed to another record on the mountain top and continued: "This is the scene more than ten minutes later, which shows that Li Yi has already arrived at the mountain top, and then he climbed up the pine tree with difficulty. Looking at his difficult appearance, he should not have been trained, but why can he climb the mountain in such a short time?"

  "You don't need to tell me, just analyze why there's no record of him on the surveillance." Wu Sifeng said solemnly, staring at the computer screen.

  "Director, there are only three possibilities," Dr. Zhao analyzed, "Firstly, Li Yi knew the location of all the surveillance cameras and easily avoided them. Secondly, all the surveillance cameras were malfunctioning during that period and couldn't record anything. Thirdly, his speed was too fast, leaving only a residual shadow, and the camera's pixels weren't enough to accurately capture it."
