Chapter 1349 - 1349: Little Goofball

The next morning, Jiangcheng was once again rocked by explosive news!

The police released the video that Xiao Feng had obtained from Han Lengyue, and announced that they had detained Bai Huanyu. The details will be disclosed after the investigation is complete.

However, to Xiao Feng's surprise,

public opinion wasn't as intense as expected. While condemnation was inevitable, most people, after two days of gossip, adopted a sarcastic attitude toward the matter.

"Let's go hiking together" became the trending phrase, or rather, a synonym for murder.

And Bai Tieniu, who had previously said, "The truth will reveal itself in time," naturally couldn't escape the harsh criticism from the onlookers.

Some even started creating new jokes, warning the elderly men in Jiangcheng to stay safe and avoid Bai Tieniu, lest he acts out of desperation after losing 'fatherly love.'

Additionally, "The Bai Family is doomed" has become the consensus among Jiangcheng's elites.

Bai Huanyu's supporters scrambled to distance themselves and clarify their associations.

As the wall falls, everyone pushes; when the drums are broken, everyone beats them.

The cold indifference of human nature was vividly demonstrated at this moment...

"Master!"

Xiao Feng, who had just finished washing up and was watching the news in the living room, heard Di Junxiong calling out.

Soon after, Di Junxiong entered with Wang Qiang, Zhao Xingfeng, and others, each carrying something.

There were fruits, snacks, buns, and fried dough sticks—not very valuable but a thoughtful gesture.

"Is the commendation ceremony over?" Xiao Feng asked, smiling and gesturing for everyone to sit.

Di Junxiong replied, "Not yet, but we came this time to inform you.

Bai Huanyu can't be charged with intentional murder, but manslaughter is a certainty—he'll get a few years at least.

Also, he still denies that your fingerprints appearing in He Qizheng's bag are related to him."

Xiao Feng nodded, showing little change in expression.

Wang Qiang spoke up, "We feel a bit guilty for taking credit for this achievement."

Zhao Xingfeng and the others nodded in agreement, looking embarrassed.

Xiao Feng waved it off, saying, "No need to feel bad; you all put in effort and worked hard."

The surrounding people exchanged glances, and Wang Qiang said with a mischievous smile, "If we must credit someone, that little Yueyue deserves the biggest thanks..."

"Hmm?" Xiao Feng furrowed his brow, and then realized.

Last night, he was wearing a communicator, which meant that when he was talking to Han Lengyue, these guys probably heard everything?

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng could even imagine their expressions at the time.

Embracing the principle of "if I don't get embarrassed, the embarrassment is yours," Xiao Feng nodded calmly, "That's not wrong. Without her video, who knows how many more detours we'd have to take."

As soon as he said that, two coughs were heard.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Everyone turned to see Du Qingyue, dressed in sportswear, with a big smile.

She walked over to Xiao Feng and sat down, greeting, "So many guests."

Di Junxiong quickly stood up and bowed, "Mistress."

"Hmm." Du Qingyue nodded slightly, then asked, "I think I just heard you guys talking about Bai Huanyu's case, something about little Yueyue?

Which little Yueyue are we talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qiang and the others quickly looked down, resolved to stay silent and, if necessary, make a quick exit.

The affairs of Brother Feng are best not to meddle in.

Better to make no mistakes than to aim for merit.

However, Di Junxiong couldn't escape, so he had to muster the courage to say, "Uh... Mistress, you might have misheard.

Master was just telling us that your nickname is little Yueyue."

Xiao Feng shot him a glare, thinking, 'If you can't speak properly, don't open your mouth.'

This kind of forced explanation only adds trouble for the master!

This apprentice of mine still needs more training!

Realizing his mistake, Di Junxiong hurriedly said, "Mistress, there's an urgent matter at the bureau, we have to get back quickly."

After speaking, he called Wang Qiang and the others to leave hastily.

Yet Zhao Xingfeng, after getting up, didn't leave immediately, but instead looked at Du Qingyue and said, "Sister-in-law, actually..."

Before he could finish, Wang Qiang grabbed him by the collar and dragged him away, "Let's go, Chief Shi is urging us!"

In less than half a minute, the group had left without a trace.

Du Qingyue, smiling gently, looked at Xiao Feng, as if waiting for an explanation.

Xiao Feng opened his mouth, but before he could speak, a young girl came rushing down from upstairs, "Good news! Good news!

Bai Huanyu has been detained, and the police have released the video!"

Following her were Lu Yao and Jiang Yixin.

Xiao Feng chuckled and, seeing everyone gathered, recounted the whole sequence of events.

After listening, the young girl crossed her arms, pouting, "I told you, with little Junxiong and the others' efficiency, it's unlikely they'd be so quick."

No one commented, given how many unsolved cases there are in the world. Some get solved, naturally some don't.

What can't be solved now doesn't mean it won't ever be solved.

"So, Han Lengyue is the little Yueyue you guys were just talking about?" Du Qingyue asked calmly.

Xiao Feng's heart skipped, knowing this question could spell trouble.

He shook his head, looking calm, "They were discussing how Han Lengyue shares a character in her name with you, making it sound like you're sisters.

And I said there's no comparison between Han Lengyue and little Yueyue."

"Little Yueyue?" The young girl couldn't help but laugh, "If Sister Qingyue were called that, it would sound so endearing."

She nudged Du Qingyue playfully, winking, "Little Yueyue?"

Du Qingyue became speechless for a while, "If I'm little Yueyue, then what are you, little Hanhany?"

"Sure!" The young girl agreed enthusiastically, "Then Sister Lu Yao would be little Yaoyao, and as for Sister Jiang... her name doesn't work well in reduplication."

"Why not?" Jiang Yixin reflexively asked.

The young girl seriously explained, "Think about it, calling you little Yixin could easily be mistaken as 'unfeeling' heart, always cautious, isn't it awkward?"

"Even if it's unfeeling, it's better than your name, little Hanhany? More like little clumsy!" Jiang Yixin retorted.

"You have the nerve to say it! If you keep getting bullied by a clumsy person like me, doesn't that make you even clumsier?"

"You? Bully me?" Jiang Yixin scoffed, "As if!"

She stood up, bent to grab a teapot on the coffee table, intending to pour a glass of water.

But as she did, the young girl quickly grabbed the cup in front of Xiao Feng,

Then...

Placed it on Jiang Yixin's back.

The young girl teased, "Sister Jiang, you better not move.

Last night you said this coat is so nice, so expensive, it cost you eighty-eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight and can't get wet.

If you move now, the water cup on your back will spill, and then your eighty-eight-thousand-eight-hundred-eighty-eight coat will be ruined."

"You!" Jiang Yixin was furious, but didn't dare move.

The money was whatever, but a wet coat was the real issue.

The young girl took the teapot from her, "Here, let me help you put it down, but don't grab it, or the water will spill on your coat!"

After taking the teapot, the young girl poured a little into the cup on Jiang Yixin's back, filling it just to the brink, then gently patted Jiang Yixin's shoulder:

"No need to thank me, it's the least I can do!"
