Chapter 1211 - 1211: Wei Jianhua's Plea for Help

At this point, Xiao Feng can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

One could say that the main purpose of this trip to Kyoto has been achieved, simultaneously relieving a burden from his mind.

However, to be cautious, Xiao Feng decided not to reveal his identity for now and will wait until returning to Jiangcheng.

"When it's your turn to act, I'll let you know. For now, just do whatever you need to do.

But contact me within three days, otherwise, it might cost you your life."

Wang Tingwei said coldly, "Don't think you have me cornered by not killing me. It means you want something from me, which makes us equals in this regard."

"Alright, if you say we're equals, then we're equals," Xiao Feng nodded readily, adopting a cooperative demeanor.

"..." Wang Tingwei.

Is it really that casual?

In fact, to Xiao Feng, Wang Tingwei's talk about "equality" was essentially a disguised attempt to regain some dignity...

Firstly, killing all the masked men here suggests the other party is afraid of the Original Heart Pill matter being exposed.

It also indicates that these masked men aren't entirely her trusted subordinates.

Secondly, after consuming the poison, she becomes like meat on the chopping board, whether to slice or shred is entirely up to preference; there's no way she's turning the tables easily!

Of course, although the rationale holds, Xiao Feng reminded himself not to be careless—caution is key.

Just then, the phone in his pocket rang.

Taking it out, Xiao Feng saw an unknown caller with Kyoto as the origin.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to answer but remained silent initially.

As soon as the call connected, a man's voice, sounding tearful and seemingly on the verge of collapse, came through: "Pei Shao, you've finally answered."

"Who are you?" Xiao Feng asked, feeling that the voice was oddly familiar.

"I'm Wei Jianhua. Is Brother Xiao with you now?"

Suddenly enlightened, Xiao Feng remembered why the voice was familiar.

Soon after, he thought about the Original Heart Pill issue.

The person on the line should have taken the pill, but judging by the tone and emotions, is it ineffective?

Even if it's ineffective, would one cry? Or perhaps it's working and it's tears of joy?

For a moment, Xiao Feng couldn't discern what was going on, so he replied: "Ba-ge is indeed with me, but not next to me now. Do you have business with him?"

"I do! And it's urgent!

Please, Pei Shao, quickly help me find Brother Xiao—I'm barely holding on!"

The phrase "barely holding on" left Xiao Feng puzzled.

Glancing at Wang Tingwei who was watching him curiously, Xiao Feng walked away, covering a hundred meter distance before speaking in his normal voice: "Brother Wei, sorry, the phone lost signal earlier.

If you're urgently looking for me, is it because the pill worked?"

"It worked, it definitely worked, but I... Brother Xiao, could you please come to me?" Wei Jianhua said, hesitating.

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and agreed: "Alright, send me the location on WeChat and I'll get there as soon as possible."

Amid Wei Jianhua's profuse gratitude, Xiao Feng hung up the phone, walked back to Wang Tingwei, and said: "I have some urgent matters and need to leave first. Handle this here yourself."

"Wait!" Wang Tingwei interjected: "How can I contact you?"

Her eyes squinted as if testing him.

Xiao Feng chuckled: "You have my contact information, don't you?"

Wang Tingwei also smiled, both of their smiles seemed to embody the saying—tacit understanding.

Walking away, Xiao Feng turned back and said: "One more thing, half an hour later, call Pei Dengke and say the kidnapping was a test for him.

Next time you meet, return the five million."

"Are you... admitting you're not Pei Dengke?"

However, Xiao Feng chose not to continue the conversation and stepped briskly toward the door.

...

Hurrying back to the hidden car spot, Xiao Feng changed back into his clothes and swapped phones, then took out a small porcelain bottle similar in size to a wind-oil bottle and waved it in front of Pei Dengke's nose, leaning back to feign unconsciousness.

Soon, Pei Dengke, in the driver's seat, slowly awakened, looked around in confusion, widened his eyes, and shook Xiao Feng, saying: "Ba-ge! Ba-ge, are you alright?"

Xiao Feng acted for a moment, frowning tightly, then opened his eyes and rubbed his neck, saying: "Seems like someone hit me. Where are we now?"

"Damn it!" Pei Dengke cursed: "Those bastards are despicable, attacking us like that.

Check if the money is still there..."

Upon discovering the money was missing, Pei Dengke cursed vehemently, while Xiao Feng almost couldn't help it and felt like striking him in the neck again.

After a brief hustle, half an hour quickly passed.

Wang Tingwei called Pei Dengke's phone punctually.

This made Xiao Feng realize a huge flaw in his earlier prepared excuse.

Which is, if Wang Tingwei staged the act herself, how do you explain the missing money?

But now it was too late to say anything as Pei Dengke excitedly answered the call.

After the call ended, Xiao Feng asked: "What's going on?"

Pei Dengke's face showed displeasure: "They said the money has been received, and they'll release the person early tomorrow morning, asking me to wait patiently."

Evidently, Wang Tingwei also realized the flaw, so she decided to slightly modify the explanation.

Pei Dengke exhaled, remained silent for a while, then smiled apologetically at Xiao Feng: "Ba-ge, sorry, I dragged you into this mess too. Is your neck alright?"

Xiao Feng shook his head, indicating no problem.

Luckily, they were driving an SUV, so climbing hills wasn't a big issue.

As the car moved onto the road, Xiao Feng set the navigation to the location Wei Jianhua sent and said: "Drive and follow the navigation."

"Um... seems like... that's Wei Jianhua's house?" Pei Dengke glanced at the navigation, face turning slightly tense.

Xiao Feng explained: "He has some issues to discuss with me. Just drive there; they'll treat us like VIPs."

Pei Dengke opened his mouth but didn't say much.

Though Wei Jianhua is indeed polite, he only maintains basic courtesy towards those of equal or lesser status than himself.

Wouldn't even serve tea, let alone VIP treatment.

However, upon arrival at Wei Jianhua's home, Pei Dengke was dumbfounded!

A middle-aged man was already waiting outside, and when getting out of the car, he personally opened the door for them.

Seeing such eagerness, Pei was so startled he almost slammed on the accelerator.

"Pei Shao, Boss Xiao, please come inside, my young master has already been anxiously awaiting!" The middle-aged man bowed, looking utterly servile.

Pei Dengke felt dizzy, is this really the legendary "Cold-Faced Swift Blade King"?

But seeing Xiao Feng's steady steps and unchanged expression, he felt reassured and followed him into the villa.
