Chapter 1342 - 1342: Sleeping with Anime Effects

"Snore, snore, snore..."

In the basement, dozens of people surrounded the corner, watching the sleeping red-haired woman, all feeling a sense of disbelief!

Xiao Feng turned his head to look at Ye Kuto: "Is this the result of the two hours you spent?"

"Boss Xiao..." Ye Kuto pinched his throat, his voice hoarse as he said, "I truly did my best."

At this moment, Sun Shijie walked over: "Shao Baxing really has quite a temper, his rage overwhelmed him and he passed out out of fury.

It's not a big deal, just have him take some medicine and he'll be fine."

Xiao Feng sighed, thinking to himself that Ye Kuto was lucky.

Shao Baxing was naturally hot-tempered, if it were someone more devious, Ye Kuto would probably be done for by now.

"Can't take it anymore, can't take it anymore!" The little girl stomped her feet, "It's the first time I've ever seen someone sleep with an animation effect."

Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that it was also their first time seeing such a thing.

The "animation effect" the little girl referred to was the nose bubble on Lu Lishuang's nose, which expanded and contracted with her breathing.

After a while, the little girl couldn't resist any longer and took out a lollipop from her pocket.

She unwrapped it and bit it into pieces.

The little girl used the stick of the lollipop to poke at Lu Lishuang's nose bubble.

"Pop!"

A sound that seemed both real and from the depths of a person's heart came through.

Lu Lishuang's nose bubble was burst, and her eyebrows suddenly furrowed, she wrinkled her nose, opened her eyes, and scanned the people in front of her.

Then...

She turned over and said irritably, "Boring!"

"Snore, snore, snore..."

The basement fell silent.

"Brother Xiao Feng, how about I give her a beating first, to knock out her arrogance?" The little girl eagerly suggested.

Xiao Feng slowly shook his head, rejecting this proposal.

It was only at this moment that he realized he had made a serious mistake.

Lu Lishuang grew up under the influence of Ma Yuliang, who would treat anyone who insulted him like a dear father, an eccentric character.

As such, the profanities and foul language Lu Lishuang heard growing up should be countless.

Although she might not be as exuberant as Ma Yuliang, her immunity must've developed over time.

"This trick won't work, wash up and go to sleep." Xiao Feng waved his hand and as he walked up the basement steps, he had already donned his mask.

Disguises, at this moment for him, were as simple as putting on a mask.

...

With He Qizheng's demise, the commercial alliance fell into a leaderless chaos.

Generally speaking, in such situations, there is often a period of disorder.

Some ambitious rebels inevitably jump out to seize power.

However, the fact was the commercial alliance was still running smoothly, as if the lack of a leader had no effect.

The alliance members held an emergency meeting overnight and elected a new leader.

The speech of this new leader soon became a hot topic...

The newly appointed puppet immediately declared that he disliked all outdoor activities and preferred staying at home alone.

Obviously, he had been frightened by He Qizheng's cautionary tale...

By the next morning, these messages had spread across Jiangcheng.

Xiao Feng browsed through the comments under the news, finding it to resemble a battlefield, with various viewpoints being expressed, yet no one able to persuade the other, leading to personal attacks.

Overall, besides him and Bai Huanyu, there weren't more people involved.

This sensation of being involved in one's own scandal was truly peculiar.

"Notify Ye Kuto, tell him to curse back at everyone cursing at me in the comments." Xiao Feng said to Lao Ha.

"Alright, Boss!" Lao Ha agreed with a bow, immediately setting into action.

It's not that Xiao Feng was petty, but no matter how skilled you are, without practice, you could get rusty.

In this regard, Lu Yao was the best example!

Even when traveling far to Jiuyou Town, she always carried a keyboard, practicing her typing occasionally to maintain her condition.

At that moment, Di Junxiong called.

Upon answering, Xiao Feng heard him say, "Master, Bai Huanyu has been released."

"Hmm." Xiao Feng responded blandly.

There was nothing strange about Bai Huanyu being released.

After all, he was merely a suspect, and without conclusive evidence, he could only be held for twenty-four hours at most.

And the fact that Bai Huanyu could be released indicated he hadn't confessed.

"I inquired a bit, Bai Huanyu didn't mention you during the interrogation," Di Junxiong continued.

Xiao Feng frowned: "I just praised you, and you can't keep your head on straight?"

"Uh... Master, did I do something wrong?"

"You didn't do anything wrong, just too much nonsense." Xiao Feng said irritably, "Bai Huanyu being released without mentioning me was predictable, wasn't it?"

To prevent his disciple from speaking more nonsense, Xiao Feng decided to ask, "Has there been any change in the special task force's stance on this case?"

"No." Di Junxiong replied: "Though the circumstances Bai Huanyu confessed had no flaws, based on where He Qizheng fell and the fingerprints in the bag.

All signs indicate that this was a premeditated murder, not an accident.

The reason I'm calling is firstly to update you on the case progress, and secondly to ask if you've thought about how to explain your fingerprints being in He Qizheng's bag?"

"Do I need to explain?" Xiao Feng countered, "During last year's assessment, there was a similar situation.

Although I can't directly prove it was Bai Huanyu, at least someone used my fingerprints to frame me, that's not without precedent, right?"

Di Junxiong sighed and said, "Those are the facts, but a reasonable explanation still needs to be found.

He Qizheng's case has already drawn widespread attention, and there's a deadline for solving the case.

If there is no result by then, it might delay your important matters..."

Hearing this, Xiao Feng squinted his eyes, sensing something unusual.

After the call ended, twenty minutes later, Di Junxiong messaged via WeChat.

"Master, the call just now was directed by Director Shi."

"I know, and he was listening by your side, right?"

Di Junxiong immediately flattered him: "Master, your predictions are spot on!"

"Enough of that, Director Shi previously advocated regulations, now he's asking me to investigate in secret, conveniently disregarding the rules. So all the good is his?"

"The pressure from above is high, Director Shi probably has no choice." Di Junxiong tentatively asked, "Will you personally investigate?"

"No time." Xiao Feng flatly refused, "Just consider this as my task assigned to you.

Think of a way, use your wits, and clear my name."

Di Junxiong immediately felt the pressure, questioning how he ended up caught in this.

But considering that since becoming a disciple, the master rarely assigned such important tasks, he readily agreed.

Of course, handling it alone wouldn't be enough.

Hmm... Zhao Xingfeng and Wang Qiang, who had dealings and benefited from the master, could be involved.

Thus, a newly formed investigation team, lacking an official title, was spearheaded by Di Junxiong!
