Chapter 1348 - 1348: Evidence in Hand

"Little Yueyue, long time no see."

Under the moonlight, Xiao Feng said with a smile.

The woman opposite him trembled slightly, then said coldly, "You've got the wrong person."

"Do I have to call your full name?" Xiao Feng said calmly, "Han Lengyue, do you think wearing a hat and a mask would make me unable to recognize you?"

In fact, the first time Xiao Feng heard the woman speak, he felt that the voice was very familiar.

Along with this behavior, searching through his mind, he quickly locked onto the name "Han Lengyue."

As time ticked by, the woman took off her cap, revealing eyes that shone like stars, and after removing the mask, her charming face was even more stunningly beautiful.

However, there was no expression on this lovely face, as if it were a thousand-year-old piece of ice.

Who else could it be but Han Lengyue?

After a while, she smiled, as if the ice melted and flowers bloomed, waving her hand, "All well with you!"

Then...

The two of them locked eyes and fell into a long silence.

Typically, when old friends meet, whether genuine or insincere, they should exchange a few enthusiastic pleasantries.

But neither could muster such enthusiasm, feeling like they had much to say, yet not knowing where to start.

This was not a feeling of awkwardness; rather, it was an indescribable subtlety...

After a while, Xiao Feng broke the silence and said, "Liao Qianying is dead, I killed him!"

"Hmm." Han Lengyue was indeed shocked inside, but her outward demeanor was incredibly calm.

It wasn't a deliberate suppression of emotion; she genuinely couldn't show a bigger reaction.

"The person backing Liao Qianying is called Old Turtle, known as Turtle General, who is mostly active in South Asia." Xiao Feng sighed:

"That's all I have, I'll continue to investigate if possible."

"Thank you." Han Lengyue expressed her gratitude and memorized the information Xiao Feng provided.

Soon, they fell silent again.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Han Lengyue broke the silence and said, "Even though it hasn't been that long since we last met, why does it feel like it's been years?"

Xiao Feng thought for a moment, then said, "Your mindset has changed. I could tell from your earlier sarcastic remarks."

"Was I sarcastic?"

"Weren't you?"

"Was I?"

At this point, they both couldn't help but laugh, easing the tension.

Xiao Feng pondered a bit and said, "Anyway, I still have to thank you for this.

How did you get Bai Huanyu's video?"

"Coincidence." Han Lengyue replied softly, "A sister of mine recorded a video and asked me to send it to her ex-boyfriend.

I couldn't resist my curiosity and watched it. Coincidentally, news of He Qizheng's death came up.

The timing and location matched the video, and after my sister's account, the context made sense to me."

Xiao Feng nodded slowly; it was all quite remarkable.

After some thought, he spoke, "No matter how you see it, I haven't really changed much.

Besides, maybe we could cooperate?"

"Cooperate?"

Xiao Feng nodded: "If managed well, the influence you wield could have unexpected effects.

Historically, places filled with varied people and mixed opinions have been excellent sources of intelligence.

Conversely, they serve as perfect grounds for spreading rumors."

"So that's where your thoughts are headed." Han Lengyue suddenly understood.

"How about it, do you want to cooperate?"

"Of course we can cooperate, but what benefit do I get?"

Xiao Feng laughed: "What benefit would you like?"

"I want you to be my deputy, can you agree?" Han Lengyue jested.

"If it's just in name, then there's no problem."

Han Lengyue laughed: "Just joking, your current position, I can't afford.

But if you need help with anything, feel free to contact me."

"Is it settled then?"

"Settled!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Xiao Feng spread open his arms.

Han Lengyue frowned slightly, puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Standard etiquette." Xiao Feng said matter-of-factly, "No matter what, we're old friends.

Meeting old friends, a hug, getting a room, isn't that normal?"

"A hug is fine, but skip the room." Han Lengyue said seriously: "I am a proper person."

Xiao Feng was displeased right away: "Are you implying I'm not a proper person?"

"Ha!" Han Lengyue chuckled lightly. Though she didn't say more, the meaning in her eyes was unmistakably clear.

It seemed to convey: Aren't you aware whether you're proper or not?

...

"Master, how do we handle these people?" Di Junxiong asked.

Xiao Feng glanced at the thugs squatting in two rows, casually saying, "These scum and degenerates, rather than letting them harm society, might as well execute them here.

How about a contest where you see who executes more, and whoever has the most, I'll reward him with a hundred thousand cash."

Upon hearing this, the thugs were terrified, and a few with poor mental fortitude collapsed directly to the ground.

"Boss, we're all good citizens!"

"Yes, yes, absolutely good citizens!"

"Even if we've done some bad things, they aren't crimes worthy of execution!"

Wang Qiang stepped forward, reprimanding: "What era do you think this is, talking about good citizens, are you treating us like Japanese soldiers?"

"No, no, no, we dare not, we absolutely don't mean that!"

The thugs, though panicking, knew the key lay with Xiao Feng.

Whether they lived or died depended on his word.

Naturally, some didn't believe killing could be so casual in today's age.

But disbelief aside, daring to stand up and clamor wasn't within their courage.

Thus, the smarter ones led the kneeling in front of Xiao Feng, with others quickly following suit, forming a mass of kneeling figures.

Di Junxiong approached Xiao Feng, whispering, "Master, let's call it. We can't really kill them all."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Xiao Feng turned to retort.

Di Junxiong hurriedly denied, clammed up, and dared not speak further.

Xiao Feng pondered for a while, truly finding no value in these people, then said, "Everyone pay a thousand, or offer something of equal value, and then leave.

Any objections?"

"No objections, no objections." The thugs all shook their heads.

But inside they silently lamented, even if they had objections, they wouldn't dare voice them.

While the thugs queued to pay, Xiao Feng unlocked his phone given by Han Lengyue and reviewed the video.

Accompanying him, Di Junxiong was excited, pounding his left fist into his right palm, "Master, Bai Huanyu can't escape now!"

Xiao Feng shook his head slowly, "This only shows He Qizheng's death is connected to Bai Huanyu, it can't prove intentional murder."

"That's true." Di Junxiong agreed with a nod: "I've encountered similar cases before.

If Bai Huanyu shirks responsibility, saying he was 'playing around' with He Qizheng, then the case's definition might change, but that's uncertain.

The unusual tourists seen in the video, perhaps that's the breakthrough."

"That's not something I should worry about." Xiao Feng handed the phone to Di Junxiong, patting his shoulder, "Consider this task complete."
