Chapter 1260 - 1260: Kabedon Warning

"Hua Ling, Hua Ling, you're such a disappointment. Why did you have to hide just now?"

Watching the tall figure walking ahead, Hua Ling couldn't help but slap her forehead, her expression full of frustration.

After a long silence, she quickened her pace to walk alongside Xiao Feng and whispered, "Ahem, I just wasn't mentally prepared just now.

When something happens too suddenly, it always catches people off guard, you understand, right?"

After saying that, her face was already bright red, and she didn't dare to lift her head.

"You mean, you want to give it another go?" Xiao Feng, who had already put back on his mask, looked at the girl beside him with some amusement.

"I don't!" Hua Ling immediately denied it, only to be filled with regret again.

Why can't I ever shake off the habit of blurting things out?

"Well, what I meant was... actually... um... it's just that..."

However, after stammering for a while, she couldn't come up with anything coherent.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng quickly changed the subject: "Let's talk about why Ma Yuliang enjoys being scolded."

"Sure, okay." Hua Ling quickly responded, "About Ma Yuliang, I actually asked Uncle Hong Ren about it a few days ago.

Uncle said that Ma Yuliang is someone who feels deeply guilty. He believes that being scolded by others can cleanse him of his sins.

There's a saying that monks don't speak falsely because monks usually recite scriptures, and saying bad things isn't good for oneself or others.

And years ago, Ma Yuliang stirred up trouble at Anping Temple, probably just to get the monks there to scold him."

"There's such a notion?" Xiao Feng said in amazement, "Does it really work?"

Hua Ling shook her head, "Who can say if it works or not?

Maybe it's just a psychological effect; he feels better when others scold him.

So, he goes out of his way to make others scold him."

After hearing this, Xiao Feng still found it a bit hard to understand and was very curious about what kind of heinous things Ma Yuliang had done in the past.

Before he could think further, his phone rang in his pocket.

When Xiao Feng took it out, he saw that it was Pei Dengke calling.

As soon as he answered, he heard Pei Dengke asking with a crying tone, "Boss, Boss, where are you?"

"Never mind where I am, what's going on with you?"

"Boss, please come to my house quickly, I really can't hold on any longer!"

With that, Pei Dengke explained everything that happened after he got home in detail.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh after listening, "Such a small thing, you're acting like the sky is about to fall.

Hang on, I'm on my way."

After hanging up, a smile appeared on Xiao Feng's lips.

In fact, the situation of being fervently invited to dinner by these prestigious families and tycoons in Kyoto wasn't surprising to him.

The credit for this scenario mostly goes to Old Master Wei Lan who personally sent him off.

If time allowed, Xiao Feng wouldn't mind playing the big shot, but that isn't possible now.

The situation in Jiangcheng is precarious; there's no time to waste, or energy to spare, to deal with these people.

"You can take a taxi back to the hotel yourself, I have something to take care of," Xiao Feng said to Hua Ling.

"Why can't you take me with you?" Hua Ling protested.

Of course, although she said that, she knew she had other important things to do on this trip and couldn't follow Xiao Feng around constantly.

"Are you sure you really want to stick with me?" Xiao Feng replied, his smile growing more mischievous as he slowly approached.

Hua Ling took three steps back, her mind filled with four big characters: Wall Slam Warning!

In an instant, she couldn't control her blushing, her face feeling like it was on fire, and her heart started racing uncontrollably.

"I'll head back to the hotel first!" Hua Ling blurted out, quickly running toward the road ahead, looking like she was fleeing in panic.

But as she ran a bit further, she turned back and said, "Remember to come back to the hotel tonight, I'm scared being alone."

"Alright." Xiao Feng nodded in agreement, then waved her over, "Come here."

"What is it?" Hua Ling's heart raced even more, conflicted about whether to go.

But before she could decide, Xiao Feng was already in front of her, handing her a needle slightly thicker than a regular sewing needle.

Upon close inspection, one could see that the needle's end was actually hollow.

"When you get back to the room, use this needle to poke Meng Ke'Er once," Xiao Feng instructed.

After waiting for a while without hearing a reply,

"Did you hear what I said?" Xiao Feng raised his voice.

"Huh?" Hua Ling came to her senses as if waking from a dream, and said, "I was listening, you just want me to poke Meng Ke'Er ten times with the needle.

Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Xiao Feng was instantly exasperated, "I asked you to poke her once, and you're going to do it ten times? You might as well poke her to death!"

...

Arriving by taxi at Pei Dengke's villa, Xiao Feng was startled the moment he walked onto the street where Pei Dengke's villa was located.

The street in front of the villa was lined with luxury cars on both sides, and dozens of people crowded at the gate, all pushing to get in, looking like a scene from a zombie siege.

Just then, Aunt Xue suddenly came out from a nearby villa and said softly, "Mr. Xiao, come with me!"

Xiao Feng nodded, following Aunt Xue into the villa.

In the living room, he immediately saw a middle-aged man with a similar build and facial features to Pei Dengke, sitting on the sofa, holding a newspaper.

Seeing Xiao Feng, the middle-aged man quickly stood up, dropped the newspaper, and cordially gestured for him to sit, saying, "Please, have a seat!"

Xiao Feng smiled and sat down, straightforwardly asking, "Are you Pei Dengke's father?"

"Yes!" The middle-aged man nodded affirmatively, "My name is Pei Renyong."

"Where's Pei Dengke?"

"His phone hasn't stopped ringing, so I sent him upstairs to take the calls."

Xiao Feng glanced at Aunt Xue and said, "Have him turn off his phone and come down."

Aunt Xue looked at Pei Renyong, and after receiving a nod of approval, agreed and went upstairs.

By this time, Xiao Feng had basically figured out why Pei Renyong was waiting for him there.

The reason was simple; he must have learned something from Pei Dengke and wanted to use this opportunity to get close to him.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face; thus, Xiao Feng chatted with him casually.

Before long, a sweating Pei Dengke came down from upstairs, panting, "Boss, these people are terrifying!"

"Sorry for dragging you into this," Xiao Feng apologized with a smile.

Pei Dengke quickly replied, "Boss, please don't say that, compared to the help you've given me, this is nothing, it's just annoying to keep saying the same thing over and over."

"Has anyone named Dong Min called you recently?" Xiao Feng asked to the point.

"Dong Min?" Pei Dengke paused, "I have to think about it; too many people have called, my head is spinning right now.

If it hadn't been for my father's timely reminder to move to the villa next door, it'd be even more chaotic now."
