The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 1380 - 1380: Warning from the Observer Boss

  • Next Chapter

Observer.

Xiao Feng quickly searched for these three words in his mind, but before he could come up with an idea, he heard Kong Xiuming say: "No need to think about it, our organization has never publicly declared its existence."

Xiao Feng did not immediately ask further, but instead, based on the information revealed by the other party, pieced things together, searching for information useful to him.

Not publicly declared but still actually exists...

Observer?

Observing whom?

In no time, Xiao Feng showed a look of realization: "The target of your observation is the members of the Demon Suppression Action Team?"

"More specifically, only the core members," Kong Xiuming replied, somewhat secretly startled!

He merely mentioned "Observer" and said a sentence or two that seemed trivial but actually contained a certain degree of misdirection.

Yet still, the other party hit the nail on the head, such brainpower and reasoning ability are truly impressive!

Thinking of this, Kong Xiuming put down his gun, but Xiao Feng did not let go, forcibly snatching another gun from his hand.

"This way it's fairer." Xiao Feng waved the gun in his hand, determining from its weight that it was loaded with real bullets.

Kong Xiuming was speechless for a long while, continuing: "The Observer has existed for as long as the Demon Suppression Action Team, but we are more deeply hidden.

Even your team leader Hua Ling doesn't know about the existence of the Observer.

And our purpose is to summarize the words and actions of the core members, then analyze them. If something suspicious is detected, we intervene."

At this point, Kong Xiuming sighed: "Strictly speaking, since the Observer was established, you are the first person to make us come out."

"So, I am not actually the first?" Xiao Feng accurately captured the hidden information in the other party's words.

Kong Xiuming opened his mouth, his expression complex: "Although the first target wasn't you, ultimately, it was related to you."

"Oh?" Xiao Feng expressed surprise: "I'm not a core member, what's the point of you watching me?"

Kong Xiuming said: "While you aren't a core member, your words hold more sway than the core members. Ever since Xue Nuofu started interacting with you, you officially entered our view.

Afterwards, our boss suspected you of trying to overshadow the Demon Suppression Action Team, and coupled with Xue Nuofu's sensitive identity.

So an idea was proposed to Ma Yuliang to replace him.

But unexpectedly, replacing him with Hua Ling made her even more obedient to you!"

Hearing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel amused.

The reason Xue Nuofu earned the title of "the three-surname slave" actually had something to do with him?

"So are you planning to replace Hua Ling too?" Xiao Feng asked.

Kong Xiuming shook his head: "That's not for me to decide; that's Ma Yuliang's call.

But speaking of Ma Yuliang, we noticed that although he previously showed no signs of life, he somehow 'came back' due to a phone call from you."

That is one of the main reasons I'm here with you today."

Xiao Feng nodded slightly, marking the important points in his heart.

One of.

That means there are other matters.

It's just unknown how much information this Observer actually has about him.

Just as he was pondering, he heard Kong Xiuming say: "A Monk can run away, but the monastery can't run with him. He can dodge the first, but not the fifteenth. I advise you to come clean."

Implying that the Observer consists of more than just him, and even if he deals with him, more people will come knocking.

Xiao Feng, of course, understood these implications, thought for a moment, and said: "Actually it's quite simple, considering that Ma Yuliang is also within your monitoring scope.

You should know that Ma Yuliang has a quirk–as soon as someone scolds him, he becomes very excited, right?"

Kong Xiuming nodded in acknowledgment.

Xiao Feng continued: "So Ma Yuliang's comeback from the brink of death was because I gave him a good scolding over the phone.

To him, this works better than any defibrillator or adrenaline shot."

"Is it really that simple?"

"It really is that simple!"

Kong Xiuming was skeptical, pondered for a moment, then changed the subject: "Then please explain the second matter."

"Go on."

"That woman just now, she is Tang Yunshu, the one the Demon Suppression Action Team has been looking for recently, right?"

Xiao Feng remained expressionless, quickly weighing things in his mind.

The current situation seems to be advantageous to him, but in reality, it's not.

The "information asymmetry" alone is deadly enough; carelessness will surely lead to stepping on mines.

So, how long was the other party listening behind the iron door?

And what exactly did he hear?

These are the crucial points concerning his next response...

After a while, Xiao Feng shook his head, laughing: "Tang Yunshu deliberately let me know she came to Jiangcheng; how could she be found so easily?"

"Then who was that woman just now?"

"My lover, a rose-like woman, before you came in, she was mesmerizing me with her fiery lips at midnight."

"..." Kong Xiuming.

Isn't this nonsense a bit too careless?

Kong Xiuming emphasized, "You should be aware that if I report your exact words, what will you face?"

"Sorry, I really am not sure." Xiao Feng shrugged: "Besides, I'm a person who values reputation more than life. I wouldn't invent a scandal or make up a lover for myself."

Kong Xiuming, with a dark expression, said: "As far as I know, you are already surrounded by beautiful women."

"So what?" Xiao Feng asked, sighing: "Hearing that, I guess you're not married, right?

Not even a girlfriend, perhaps?"

"What does that have to do with you!" Kong Xiuming shot back, his expression giving away the answer.

Xiao Feng smiled: "Domestic flowers never smell as fragrant as wildflowers, no matter how beautiful they are. Looking at them every day, there will eventually be aesthetic fatigue.

Just like no matter how delicious a dish is, you can't eat it every meal."

At this point, Xiao Feng paused, speaking in the tone of someone who's been there: "Old Wang…"

"My surname is Kong!" Kong Xiuming corrected.

Xiao Feng apologized with a smile: "Sorry, sorry, I got used to calling you Old Wang before.

Old Wang, once you have a girlfriend, you will understand my current behavior and feelings."

Kong Xiuming's eyes showed anger for the first time, annoyed that even after correcting, his surname was still wrong—it must have been deliberate!

"Don't forget, I was listening to your conversation outside the door." Kong Xiuming said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng let out a sigh of relief.

If Kong Xiuming hadn't said this, he would have been uncertain.

But with this, he could be sure Kong Xiuming hadn't heard anything key.

Realizing this, Xiao Feng brazenly said: "So what if you heard it?

If there are any violations, feel free to have your boss come find me!"

"You!"

"Stop with the 'you, you, you' and 'I, I, I,' Old Wang…"

"I'll say it again, my surname is Kong!"

"Oh oh oh, my bad, Old Wang…"

"..." Kong Xiuming.

At this moment, he truly felt the urge to shoot the guy in front of him!

After some sincere and earnest advice, Xiao Feng asked: "Is there anything else?"

"Of course."

"Then go ahead."

Kong Xiuming took several deep breaths and said: "Our boss asked me to pass you a message."

"Go on, I'm listening."

"The Demon Suppression Action Team is not your one-man show. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have Ma Yuliang's backing.

The Observer is not just a decoration!"

Xiao Feng raised an eyebrow: "Is that all?"

"That's all."

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing else."

Xiao Feng tossed the gun to Kong Xiuming and walked towards the iron door of the rooftop.

Before leaving, he waved and bid farewell: "Old Wang, goodbye!"
