My Sexy CEO Wife

"Damn it! Asking for death?" The soldier who was bumped into flew into a rage, swinging his weapon to smash at the old man lying on the ground.

"Smack!"

A large hand reached out from the side, grabbing the weapon. The owner of this hand was none other than Gao Fei.

The soldier turned his head, glaring at Gao Fei, "You trying to die?"

"Daring to commit violence in broad daylight, you must be awfully bold," Gao Fei said expressionlessly.

"What's it to you!" The soldier tried to pull his weapon back, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't retrieve it. "Let go! If you don't want to die, let go quickly!"

"Let go! Let go!!!" The other soldiers surrounded them, shouting loudly at Gao Fei.

"Fine, I'll let go." Gao Fei grabbed the weapon and pushed forward, then released his hand.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

The soldier, still holding his weapon, staggered several steps backward before falling to the ground. "You bastard!" Furious, the soldier yelled, "Grab him! If he dares to resist, kill him on the spot!"

"Whoosh!"

The soldiers raised their weapons, smashing them down towards Gao Fei.

"I'd like to see who dares!" Gao Fei took out a token, "I am the newly appointed City Lord Gao Fei, I'd like to see who dares to make a move!"

"The new City Lord?"

The soldiers were stunned.

"City Lord my ass!" The fallen soldier got up from the ground, pointing at Gao Fei and cursed, "We only recognize Lord He! Everyone else is bullshit!"

"That's right! We only recognize Lord He!" The other soldiers joined in the shouting, "City Lord counts for shit."

"Guys, with Lord He backing us, we've got nothing to fear! Charge and grab this son of a bitch."

"Charge!"

"Try to catch him alive!"

"If he dares to resist, just kill him, no need to be merciful."

...

"Seeking death!" Gao Fei's expression darkened, "I was going to leave you a way out, but you insist on seeking death. Since that's the case, I shall oblige." As he spoke, Gao Fei quickly charged forward, not even using a Treasure, and started beating the soldiers with his bare hands.

That's right, beating!

Gao Fei's strength was far superior to that of these soldiers, even when outnumbered, he still had the upper hand.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Clang, clang, clang!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the blink of an eye, all the soldiers were knocked down, Gao Fei hit hard, not only bruising their faces but also crippling their Dantians, rendering them incapable of cultivating ever again and turning them into cripples.

How ruthless!

The soldiers glared at Gao Fei, eyes red with rage, wishing they could tear him apart, "Lord He will not let you off, he will surely avenge us!"

"Avenge?" Gao Fei's lips curled into a cold smirk, "Alright! I'll wait for his revenge!" At this, Gao Fei looked around: "Surely there must be spies for He Hentian lurking around? I'm disciplining you in the street, those spies will definitely report to He Hentian at the first opportunity. Perhaps He Hentian already knows by now..." Gao Fei's face revealed a mysteriously confident smile, "What do you think? Will He Hentian show up today? Will he come to your rescue?"

"He definitely will!" The soldiers said in unison, "We are Lord He's soldiers! If we're bullied, Lord He will surely avenge us! Gao, you just wait for your death!"

"Alright, I'll wait for him right here," said Gao Fei with a slight smile. "I want to see if he will come."

"He will definitely come!" the soldiers exclaimed excitedly. "Lord He will definitely come!" It was apparent that the troops greatly admired He Hentian.

At that moment, the old man who had been knocked to the ground by the soldiers shuffled over, his face filled with gratitude as he looked at Gao Fei: "You are a good person! Thank you for standing up for me..."

"No need to be polite," said Gao Fei with a kindly expression. "I am the Lord of Heavenly Water City. It is my responsibility and duty to protect you all."

"Are you really the Lord?"

"Guaranteed genuine!"

"I can tell that you will be a good Lord... It's a pity you've come to the wrong place!"

"The wrong place?"

"You shouldn't have come here... it's too chaotic... Go now, leave quickly before Lord He arrives, leave this place at once." The old man said anxiously, "Hurry, or it will be too late."

"Are you worried that this Lord He will harm me?" Gao Fei asked with a chuckle.

"You've just arrived, perhaps you don't know how formidable Lord He is. Lord He is the highest ruler of Heavenly Water City, you can't afford to provoke him," the old man urged. "It was I who caused this trouble, and I am willing to take full responsibility. Please go quickly, I don't want to drag you into this." The old man truly had a kind heart.

"I won't leave," Gao Fei shook his head. "I'll wait right here for He Hentian! I want to see if he dares to come!"

"Don't overestimate your abilities, please take my advice and leave now..."

"Rest assured, He Hentian wouldn't dare to harm me."

"You..."

"Come, old man, let me help you to the side to rest a while, and I'll check on you as well. You fell quite hard just now, and I'm worried you might have internal injuries." Gao Fei assisted the old man towards a nearby teahouse, and the crowd that had gathered to watch the commotion parted to make way for them.

As Gao Fei walked, he surveyed the townspeople around, and in their eyes, he saw panic, compassion, and regret!

"My fellow townspeople! I am the newly appointed Lord, Gao Fei! I promise you here and now, as long as I am the Lord, I will not allow anyone to bully you. I mean what I say," Gao Fei declared emphatically.

The scene was deathly silent; not a single person responded to Gao Fei.

"I know you don't believe me! I will prove it with my actions!" Gao Fei spoke loudly. "Starting today, I will devote half a day every day to hear cases. Any townsperson who has been wronged can come to the City Lord's Mansion to seek justice. As long as the investigation confirms it, I will surely uphold justice for you!"

There was still no response from the townspeople, but their gazes towards Gao Fei underwent a slight change.

Gao Fei was well aware that it was impossible to win the trust of the people with just a few words. He could only proceed step by step, gaining the trust of the populace through actual deeds.

…

Inside a luxurious attic.

He Hentian, dressed in brocade garments, stood behind a desk, holding a writing brush and painting.

He was painting a peacock, a peacock with its plumage fanned out, depicted so lifelike. He Hentian had two hobbies in life: one was painting, and the other was collecting antiques. He owned an estate specifically for housing his antiques, and after many years of accumulating, the estate was almost filled.

"Tap, tap, tap!"

A man in black hurriedly walked in: "Lord He, there's trouble, something has happened."

"Hmm?" Without lifting his head, He Hentian asked, "What happened? It doesn't have to do with that newly appointed Lord Gao Fei, does it?"

"Your wisdom prevails, my lord! This matter is indeed closely related to Gao Fei," the man in black said respectfully.

"It's actually him?" He Hentian raised his head in surprise. "Speak clearly, what exactly happened?" He Hentian put down the writing brush, pulled over a chair to sit down, and casually picked up a teacup to sip. The fragrance of the tea filled the air, indulging his senses.

"Just now, Gao Fei and a group of patrolling soldiers had a conflict. Gao Fei used ruthless tactics and incapacitated all the soldiers," said the man in black, his tone carrying a hint of resentment.
