Chapter 1324 - 1324: Suspected New Mistress

The deadlock lasted till the end, and artificial respiration ultimately failed to be performed by anyone.

Xiao Feng took out an Antitoxic Pill, placed one in Lu Lishuang's mouth, and then put one in his own mouth.

Xue Nuofu stood by watching, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to ask for one...

After a long silence, Xue Nuofu spoke: "Thank you for this time."

Although he didn't understand what happened at the moment Xiao Feng shouted for him to "duck," seeing Xiao Feng jump into the river was enough for him to infer many things.

"If you really want to thank me, at least cover my vehicle costs. Two words that mean nothing will only make people feel you have no sincerity."

Xue Nuofu opened his mouth, hesitated, and stopped, saying: "If it's insincerity, then so be it. The cost of sincerity is too high, I can't afford it."

Amidst their chat, a police car appeared in view.

The vehicle stopped, and Di Junxiong got out of the car in a hurry and ran toward Xiao Feng, shouting, "Master, are you okay?"

Xiao Feng nodded slowly. His face didn't look too bad, but it definitely didn't look good either.

Di Junxiong scanned the surroundings, saw the red-haired woman lying on the ground, and couldn't help but have his eyes light up, quickly shifting his gaze away, whispering: "Master, is this... the new mistress?"

Xiao Feng slapped the back of Di Junxiong's head and said irritably: "What kind of person do you think your master is? I told you over the phone that this is the person who drove into me."

"I see." Di Junxiong had an enlightened look, his mind already conjuring up a dramatic emotional show.

The woman in red loved in vain, turned her love into hatred, and harbored murderous intentions for his master...

Fortunately, he didn't voice those thoughts, or else he'd have received an even harsher slap.

"Should I detain her now?" Di Junxiong asked.

Xiao Feng shook his head: "Detaining her won't be of any use. As it happens, she's our superior."

"Superior?" Di Junxiong was somewhat confused.

"Her identity is the deputy leader of the Demon Suppression Action Team, although she hasn't officially taken office yet."

Upon hearing the words "deputy leader," Di Junxiong was shocked again, then furrowed his brow and said: "Master, aren't you offending your superior?"

"She's not officially in office, so she doesn't count as a superior." Xiao Feng chuckled.

Xue Nuofu said faintly from the side: "Then wait until she officially takes office, and we'll settle accounts with you and your pupil together."

Xiao Feng shrugged indifferently: "That depends on whether she can take office or not."

"Master, what about now?"

"Take us back to Jinyue Garden. There's still someone lying over there. Think of a way to get them back."

"No problem, leave it to me!" Di Junxiong agreed without hesitation. Looking at Xiao Feng who was drenched, he said: "There's a new set of clothes in my trunk. Master, would you like to change into them?"

Xiao Feng didn't refuse, nodded in agreement, and then followed Di Junxiong to the car to change clothes.

Though somewhat inappropriate, it was still much better than being soaked.

"Do you have any dry clothes left?" Xue Nuofu asked.

Di Junxiong glanced at his master and replied: "None left."

Xue Nuofu's mouth twitched furiously. Even if he wanted to retaliate, did it have to be so blatant?

...

Back at Jinyue Garden, Ye Kuto and Lu Lishuang were sent to Zhao Guo'an's house.

Sun Shijie wrote a prescription and decocted medicine, which was given to the two of them.

Shortly after drinking the medicine, the complexions of those lying on the bed started to move away from pallor and gradually regained some rosiness.

"There are no major problems, but they need proper recuperation, or else they might end up with residual ailments." Sun Shijie checked the pulse for Ye Kuto and Lu Lishuang and said.

Xiao Feng nodded lightly, relieved at heart but aware that his troubles were fast approaching.

Soon, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the living room.

Xiao Feng seemed to hear a sentence: "The enemy army will reach the battlefield in three seconds, please be prepared."

Just as the "enemy" was about to enter, Xiao Feng stepped out of the room and reached the living room first.

Just as he opened the door, he collided head-on with Qingyue.

Behind Qingyue were the little girl, Lu Yao, and Jiang Yixin standing in a line, their eyes all filled with anxiety.

"Are you hurt?" Qingyue asked with concern.

Xiao Feng smiled lightly and shook his head, indicating he wasn't hurt.

"What on earth happened?" The little girl couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked directly: "I heard from little Xiongxiong that Xiao Feng brother and old Xue were knocked into the river?

Who did it?

Where's the culprit?"

Xiao Feng shook his head and laughed: "Let's sit down and talk."

Everyone took a seat, and Xiao Feng recounted the incident in detail.

After listening, Qingyue and the others all had puzzled expressions in their eyes.

Not that they doubted the authenticity of Xiao Feng's words, but they couldn't figure out why Ma Yuliang abruptly sent a deputy leader.

"Ma Yuliang, that old geezer, is truly rotten to the core!" The little girl's fists clenched with indignation, as if she wanted to rush to Kyoto and fight to the death with Ma Yuliang.

And if a fight indeed occurred, whether Ma Yuliang would fight back is another matter, but he definitely wouldn't retort if scolded.

"Strange, how would someone like Ma Yuliang adopt orphans out of goodwill?" Lu Yao asked in confusion.

This question clearly had no one to answer.

Qingyue said: "Currently, we need to figure out whether Lu Lishuang driving into you was Ma Yuliang's directive, or a result of her own character."

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and replied: "It's unlikely Ma Yuliang instructed it. He still relies on me to provide him with new recordings."

"Then it's even stranger," Jiang Yixin questioned: "Ma Yuliang adopted Lu Lishuang, so he must be quite aware of her character. According to this, even if Ma Yuliang didn't specifically instruct Lu Lishuang to treat you politely, he should have at least reminded her not to cause trouble."

"You can't say that." Lu Yao pondered: "Ma Yuliang isn't normal to begin with, so those who grew up under his tutelage and were influenced by him wouldn't be too normal either. I think the issue lies with Lu Lishuang herself."

The little girl was still furious and said: "Anyway, Ma Yuliang and Lu Lishuang, neither of them are any good!"

This statement was met with unanimous nods of agreement.

Xiao Feng was somewhat speechless, as they analyzed and analyzed yet offered little of real value.

Qingyue said thoughtfully: "How about directly calling Ma Yuliang to discuss this matter, and at the same time verify whether Lu Lishuang's words are true."

"But doing so would mean we can't hide the fact that we have Lu Lishuang," Jiang Yixin said gravely.

Xiao Feng waved his hand: "You don't have to worry too much about that. Even if we try to hide it, we won't be able to for long. For now, we should take it one step at a time. At worst, when the time comes, we'll stick to our story and insist we don't know any Lu Lishuang. Without definitive evidence, Ma Yuliang can't openly confront us."

At this point, Xiao Feng was inwardly relieved.

The situation seemingly wasn't as treacherous as he initially imagined...

Just as he thought this, the little girl suddenly asked: "Xiao Feng brother, after Lu Lishuang got ashore, did you perform any emergency measures? Like CPR, artificial respiration or anything?"

As soon as the words fell, eight eyes spotlighted Xiao Feng.

"..." Xiao Feng.

Indeed, wishful thinking is unwise; one should never rejoice too soon.

However, if well-prepared, the issue isn't too severe.
