The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 1331 - 1331: Not Caring About Anything

  • Next Chapter

Taking advantage of meal time, Xiao Feng informed Xue Nuofu of the old comrades' action time, allowing him to arrange manpower in advance to prevent any unexpected dangerous situations.

Honestly speaking, after watching Wang Ji and Du Xian's wonderful performance,

Xiao Feng felt increasingly that these old comrades, who were neither missing arms nor legs, were truly miraculous!

After all, not everyone is as rational as Zhao Zhehai, and if someone actually gets desperate, anything could happen.

Moreover, Xiao Feng had another important reason to target those who supported Bai Huanyu besides personal grievances— to pressure those market makers of the Dong Family in Kyoto to take action quickly.

This was thanks to Shao Baxing's remark, "Don't forget, your opponents are not these so-called prominent figures in Jiangcheng, but the Devil's Concentration Camp."

Xiao Feng reflected on the times he had openly and covertly clashed with the Devil's Concentration Camp and summarized a pattern.

That is, the Devil's Concentration Camp often strikes at critical points. If they don't move, it's fine, but once they do, it brings great trouble.

The danger associated with it goes without saying, and the potential for things to go wrong should not be underestimated.

So, being able to resolve matters in Jiangcheng before the Devil's Concentration Camp makes a move is undoubtedly the best scenario.

...

After dinner, Du Qingyue and others walked out of the villa.

Xiao Feng asked, "So, did you get the money?"

"It's not that easy." Du Qingyue smiled wryly, "Lu Lishuang seems to have an inherent negativity in her character.

This negativity isn't the usual kind but an indifference to everything, which made it impossible for us to find her weakness even after trying many different approaches."

"Perhaps... she simply doesn't have a weakness?" Jiang Yixin mused, "People who don't care about anything, aren't they just people without weaknesses?"

In a way, this statement isn't wrong.

For instance, most parents work hard to provide a better education for their children, caring for their future success.

Similarly, young people save money to buy expensive phones, branded clothes, and shoes, not wanting to lose face in front of friends.

In short, most people have things they care about.

But what Lu Lishuang shows is a complete indifference to everything.

If she can live, she lives; if not, then whatever!

After a moment, Xiao Feng slowly shook his head and said, "There are no people without weaknesses; we just haven't found hers yet."

"But the problem is, how can we find her weakness?" Lu Yao frowned lightly.

The little girl stepped forward and said, "If you ask me, regardless of what her weakness is, let's just give her a good beating.

If she still dares to be stubborn, then we'll beat her now and then just for fun.

I want to see how long she can last!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile, knowing that the little girl was still brooding over Lu Lishuang calling her "short legs."

After a brief silence, Xiao Feng spoke up, "Let Jia Luo give it a try; she's the best at psychology."

Du Qingyue nodded in agreement but couldn't help asking, "Why do I feel like you don't have much hope?"

Xiao Feng replied, "Psychological issues, like physiological ones, don't offer perfect solutions just by knowing the root cause.

Jia Luo might discover the reasons for Lu Lishuang's personality, but she may not have a way to fix it."

"Why do I feel like we owe Lu Lishuang money?" The little girl pouted, discontented, "We haven't received the money, yet we have to pay for her psychologist."

Xiao Feng laughed helplessly, "This is all to find her weakness!"

"Hmph! Then try it out. If it doesn't work, we'll do it my way. I'll let her know what a true miraculous cure is!"

At these words, black lines appeared on the foreheads of Xiao Feng and the others.

Miraculous cure?

Isn't that just a cover for a personal vendetta?

"You all go back first." Xiao Feng waved and said, "I'll go have a chat with old man Shao to nurture some sentiment, and by the way, put Lu Lishuang in with him, so they can keep each other company."

After saying this, he walked back into the villa.

With an uneasy mood, Hui Yi and the others carried various food ingredients and walked into the basement.

Only to see Shao Baxing lying on the ground, with a very noticeable wet patch near his eyes…

Xiao Feng leaned over, astonished, "Old Man Shao, why are you crying?

What's bothering you? Tell me, I'm best at comforting people."

"..." Hui Yi and others suddenly felt their mouths twist and eyes twitch.

Why he's crying, don't you know?

Plus, you've taped his mouth shut; even if he wanted to speak, he couldn't.

Looking again at Shao Baxing, motionless, as if he had lost his soul, leaving only an empty husk.

Xiao Feng checked his breathing, then pressed a hand on his neck, feeling relieved.

Thankfully, not dead!

But outwardly showing a sad façade, he said, "Sigh... Old Man Shao is indeed one who would rather bend than snap, actually starving himself alive.

This spirit of hitting a wall and not turning back… let's just not emulate it."

"Cough, so Boss, what do we do now?" Old Ha leaned over and asked.

Xiao Feng sighed, "Old Man Shao deserves our respect. We must bury him properly, so contact the crematorium first."

No sooner had the words been spoken than Shao Baxing suddenly sat up, but within two seconds collapsed back onto the ground.

"H-He's he-he's… risen from the dead!" Iron Wa was filled with horror.

Aspergillus oryzae couldn't help but laugh, "Risen from the dead my foot, can't you tell the boss is joking?"

Joking?

Iron Wa blinked, eyes filled with innocence.

"Light the fire, set the spices, start grilling!"

At Xiao Feng's command, everyone got busy, and soon had everything prepared.

Smelling the aroma continuously entering his nostrils, Shao Baxing, lying on the ground, felt a little panicked.

Of course, this wasn't fear-induced panic but a physiological reaction to prolonged hunger.

"Gulp!"

Shao Baxing had just swallowed his saliva, but new saliva soon gathered.

This repeated several times until the skewers in Xiao Feng's hands were cooked.

Shao Baxing's eyes could no longer see anything else, only the skewers on the grill.

"Old Man Shao, want a skewer?" Xiao Feng, holding a skewer, squatted down in front of Shao Baxing.

"Mmm mmm mmm..."

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, then relaxed, turning around to Hui Yi and the others, "Take note, everyone, Old Man Shao hasn't eaten for several meals.

Even so, with such delicious skewers in front of him, he remains unmoved: isn't this a truly admirable spirit?"

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm!" Shao Baxing struggled fiercely, his eyes fixated on the skewers, nodding repeatedly, clearly indicating he wanted to eat.

However, it seemed as if Xiao Feng didn't understand, smiling, "Old Man Shao, you truly have my admiration today!

If you won't eat, then don't. I'll take it away then."

With that, he walked back behind the grill and sat on his small dedicated stool.

Soon, Old Ha gently nudged Xiao Feng's arm, whispering, "Boss, it's wet, it's wet."

"What's wet?"

"Look."

Xiao Feng looked up in the direction Old Ha pointed, realizing that when he said it was wet, he meant the ground was wet.

Under Shao Baxing's eyes, a few crystalline water droplets were slowly seeping into the ground…

Xiao Feng understood, what was missing was just the final push.

Thus, he cast aside morals and turned around, "When you're eating, don't make too much noise, it's enough to make Old Man Shao cry from annoyance.

Can you pay attention to some civility?"

"..." Hui Yi and others immediately felt disoriented.

Who lacks civility here?
