Chapter 1259 - 1259: All Preparations Complete

"Xiao Feng is a guy who never does anything without a reason. If he's giving me this gift, he surely wants something." Ma Yuliang said straight to the point, "So, what does he want me to do?"

Xiao Feng pondered briefly and said, "Since you're so straightforward, I won't beat around the bush either.

Brother Xiao wants you to cooperate with him in acting out a scene..."

And so on and so forth.

After listening to what Xiao Feng had to say, Ma Yuliang took a sip of tea and chuckled, "He's quite a schemer!

I once told him he's allowed to operate under the guise of the Demon Suppression Action Team, but I won't cover for him if anything goes wrong.

And now, he wants to drag me into it directly?"

"This can't be considered dragging you in; at most, it's just leveraging your influence." Xiao Feng seemed to know Ma Yuliang would react this way, and guided him gently:

"Think about it carefully, once this is done, you'll definitely get scolded harshly, and it would be a great opportunity to fix some internal issues. It's a win-win situation!"

After saying this, even Xiao Feng couldn't help feeling a bit absurd.

Since when did getting scolded harshly become a good thing?

But for Ma Yuliang, getting scolded was indeed a good thing, so much so that if the scolding was mild, he'd find it unsatisfying.

After quite some time, seeing that Ma Yuliang still had no intention of agreeing, Xiao Feng finally said, "Brother Xiao said if you agree, he can create a custom recording for you."

"Custom-made?"

"Take that piece of recording we sent you earlier, for example. The target wasn't specific, but if we added your name, wouldn't it be... more thrilling?"

Xiao Feng said this with a sly expression and tone, as if he was... pimping something.

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuliang paused, then imagined how it would feel with his name in it.

He couldn't help but shift his position, leaned forward, and blushed furiously, his heart pounding wildly.

It's really exciting!

Taking a deep breath to suppress the turmoil in his heart, Ma Yuliang gradually appeared to have an epiphany: "Oh my, I nearly fell for your trick, you sly dog!"

Hua Ling, who was munching on a pear, mumbled indistinctly, "Team Leader, you can't even talk now, no wait, why can't you speak at all?"

"What?"

Hua Ling wiped his mouth, swallowed the fruit, and corrected, "What do you mean 'fell for the trick of a rotten egg'?

It should be 'fell for the trick of a bad guy'!"

"Ah, it's all the same." Ma Yuliang responded casually, turning his gaze to Xiao Feng, "Young man, had I agreed directly, would you not have mentioned the custom recording?"

Xiao Feng's eyes darted around, and he smiled, "It's not that I wouldn't mention it, it's just that if you agreed directly, the custom recording would be treated as a token of gratitude, not a condition for cooperation."

"Speaking of which, who is the person in the recording?" Ma Yuliang changed the subject, "I've met many who are proficient at cursing, but never anyone with such flair!"

Xiao Feng spread his hands out, speaking in a tone of helplessness, "I don't know about that, Brother Xiao should know."

"Alright then!" Ma Yuliang suddenly stood up, "Call Xiao Feng now and tell him I want a custom recording of at least twenty minutes.

Also, I'll be visiting Jiangcheng soon, he must let me meet the person behind the recording.

If he agrees to these two conditions, I'll fully support his plan!"

"I'll make the call now."

Saying this, Xiao Feng went to the balcony and pretended to make a phone call.

Three minutes later, he returned to the sofa and said, "Brother Xiao has agreed, and the custom recording will be forwarded to you by Team Leader Hua Ling before evening."

"Good, good, good!" Ma Yuliang beamed with joy, "Let's have some tea."

Xiao Feng displayed a relieved smile.

With that, preparations for deceiving those wealthy young men were almost complete!

As for having Hua Ling forward the recording to Ma Yuliang, it was for no special purpose other than to give the team leader a sense of involvement, preventing him from becoming a mere backdrop.

But, looking at Hua Ling, who couldn't stop munching on fruits, as if he were determined to annihilate every last one of them in the fruit basket,

Xiao Feng suddenly felt that this was perhaps redundant...

With matters settled, Xiao Feng was ready to leave, pulling Hua Ling along to bid farewell.

Before leaving, Hua Ling longingly eyed the half-full fruit basket, hiccuping nonstop.

It was as if he were reluctantly saying goodbye in his own way.

Outside the apartment building, Hua Ling clutched his belly, "I can't take it anymore, urgh, I'm a bit, urgh, stuffed!"

"Serves you right!" Xiao Feng said irritably, "You ate more than half of the fruit basket you brought as a gift. Can't you have a bit more self-control?"

"It's all your fault!" Hua Ling complained, "If it weren't for you urging me to leave, I wouldn't have eaten it all."

Xiao Feng replied speechlessly, "If I hadn't pulled you away, you'd be heading to the hospital."

Despite his words, seeing Hua Ling suffer, he pulled out an antitoxic pill and held it in his hand.

"Open your mouth!"

Hua Ling looked puzzled, "What for?"

"I'm giving you something tasty to eat."

Upon hearing that it was something tasty, Hua Ling's eyebrows curved into crescents, opening his mouth, and Xiao Feng popped the antitoxic pill in.

"Burp..."

After a five-second long burp, Hua Ling touched his stomach, surprised, "Hey? My stomach doesn't feel bloated anymore, and the burps are gone. That's amazing!

Is there any more?

The candy you just gave me was quite sweet, can I have another one?"

"If you have another, you'd be rushing to find a toilet."

"Hmph! If you won't give me more, just say so, cheapskate, blah~" Hua Ling made a face, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the community.

Outside the community, Xiao Feng suddenly asked, "You seem to know why Ma Yuliang is so willing to be scolded by others?"

"I do know." Hua Ling nodded proudly.

"Tell me then."

"What's in it for me to satisfy your curiosity?"

Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes, "What do you want in return?"

"How about you tell me what you can offer, and I'll pick one?"

Looking around to ensure no one was around, Xiao Feng directly dragged Hua Ling to the roadside, then pressed him against the wall.

"What are you doing?" Hua Ling said angrily.

Then he heard a "rip," and the nondescript face before him turned into a handsome one.

Hua Ling was stunned, his back pressed against the wall, looking at the hand by his head, his heart pounding wildly.

"You..."

"Shh!" Xiao Feng raised his index finger to his lips, lips curling into a smile, speaking in a silky whisper, "Don't speak!"

After that, he leaned towards Hua Ling...

At this moment, Hua Ling was completely bewildered!

This, this, this... Happiness has arrived so suddenly, without even a heads-up?
