My Sexy CEO Wife

Several days later, Gao Fei encountered a tough problem, nearly capsizing in the figurative gutter.

Here's what happened...

An elderly woman ran to the City Lord's Mansion, beating drums and declaring her grievances. The person she accused was Jin Wanshan, the richest man in Heavenly Water City, or to be exact, Jin Wanshan's son, Jin Xiaolong. Several years ago, her three daughters were all snatched away by Jin Xiaolong. The oldest daughter was eighteen, and the youngest was only fourteen. Just three days later, all three daughters died unnatural deaths, their bodies covered in wounds, their clothes disheveled, and blood at the corners of their mouths, clearly having been tortured to death. The old woman, heartbroken and driven to despair, stormed into the Government to sue Jin Xiaolong, but after being beaten with wooden planks, was thrown out... The old woman had seen the truth, that the Government of Heavenly Water City was in league with Jin Xiaolong, and would not help her get justice. With no other choice, the old woman could only attempt to petition at the emperor's city, but she was stopped by soldiers at the city gates...

Over the years, the old woman had thought of countless ways to leave Heavenly Water City but never succeeded.

Every day, holding her daughters' spirit tablets, she would cry in agony. Just when the old woman was about to lose all hope, Gao Fei appeared. Hiding in the shadows, she observed and saw that Gao Fei was indeed a good official who sincerely sought justice for the people. So, the woman, trembling and tottering, went to the City Lord's Mansion to tell her story.

"My lord! My daughters died such wrongful deaths!" the old woman wept on the ground.

"Get up!" Gao Fei personally walked over, helped the old woman to her feet, and said with a heavy expression, "Rest assured! As long as your claims are true, I will certainly seek justice for you!"

"Thank you, my lord, thank you." The old woman spoke incoherently in her excitement, having hoped for so many years, she finally saw a glimmer of hope; it really wasn't easy.

After instructing Chen San to investigate and confirming that the old woman's claims were true, Gao Fei immediately sent Chen San and Liu Qing to capture the murderer, Jin Xiaolong.

Before long, Chen San and Liu Qing returned, both with very ugly expressions on their faces.

"Did you bring back the murderer?" Gao Fei raised an eyebrow and asked.

"No," Chen San shook his head. "That Jin Xiaolong is hiding inside his house and won't come out. We tried to rush in and catch him, but were chased out by a gang of thugs."

"Thugs?"

"The Jin Family has raised a bunch of thugs. They're all quite strong. Most importantly, they're numerous and powerful. Liu Qing and I almost got taken down by them."

"Did you identify yourselves?"

"We did, but they didn't take us seriously at all."

"Let's go, I'll join you to catch him."

Angered, Gao Fei led Chen San and Liu Qing out of the City Lord's Mansion.

...

South of the City.

The Jin Family.

Inside the main hall.

Jin Wanshan sat in his chair with a somber face, his eyes fierce: "What does that Gao Fei want to do? It's one thing for him to bully others, but to think he has the audacity to trifle with me? Does he really think I'm made of clay? If he provokes me, I'll have someone take him out directly!"

"Right! Take him out!" Jin Xiaolong nodded vehemently. "Dad! I support you! Act quickly! I've come to realize that Gao Fei is nothing but trouble! The sooner we dispose of him, the sooner we can have peace of mind!"

"Bang!"

Jin Wanshan slapped the table, glaring at Jin Xiaolong: "Look at the fine mess you've made! Good for nothing but bungling everything! How could I, so wise and valiant, have sired such an idiotic offspring like you?"

Seeing his father's anger, Jin Xiaolong shrank his neck and hung his head, no longer daring to say another word.

"How many times have I told you? Doing bad things is one thing, bullying people is another, but you must see things through to Perfection and not leave any loose ends for yourself!" Jin Wanshan said angrily.

"Father's lesson is correct."

"Get out, you annoy me just by being here."

"Oh, I'm going, I'll leave right away, don't be angry, okay?" Jin Xiaolong stood up and ran off in a flurry.

"Alas..." Jin Wanshan let out a heavy sigh, "To have such a son, it's the misfortune of the family." To expect Jin Xiaolong to bring glory to the ancestors was a vain hope. Just as Jin Wanshan was sighing, a house servant rushed in hurriedly.

"Master, someone surnamed Gao has arrived, asking to see you by name," said the house servant.

"Someone surnamed Gao?" Jin Wanshan was taken aback, "Which Gao?"

"It's the new City Lord Gao Fei."

"Him?" Jin Wanshan frowned, "Really like a persistent ghost!" He stood up and walked outside, "Gather up all the enforcers in the mansion, I'm going to teach Gao Fei a good lesson today."

"Yes." The house servant turned and ran off.

With his hands clasped behind his back, his head held high, his face taut, and walking with a square stride, Jin Wanshan arrived at the gate, where three people were standing outside, one of whom was the new City Lord Gao Fei. Jin Wanshan looked at Gao Fei with an icy gaze, "I wonder what brings Lord Gao to this place?" A few days ago, in a certain setting, Jin Wanshan had seen Gao Fei, but the two had not spoken.

"Someone has filed a complaint, saying your son Jin Xiaolong killed three young girls..." Before Gao Fei could finish, Jin Wanshan interrupted him.

"Impossible! My son would never do such a thing." Jin Wanshan waved his hand dismissively.

"I've investigated thoroughly, your son indeed killed people."

"Nonsense! Lord Gao, if you continue to falsely accuse my son, I will not be polite to you."

"Not be polite? How will you not be polite?" Gao Fei let out a cold laugh.

"Come forth!" Jin Wanshan bellowed.

"Whoosh..."

A group of strong and burly men ran out from the courtyard and surrounded Gao Fei, Liu Qing, and Chen San. These men were the tough enforcers Jin Wanshan kept. There were about a hundred of them, with the highest cultivation at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm and the lowest at the Nascent Soul realm.

Surrounded by a group of masters, Gao Fei wasn't the slightest bit nervous. He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the strong men: "Jin Wanshan! You've really got some nerve, daring to launch an attack on me? I am the City Lord personally appointed by the Emperor himself. By attacking me, you are showing disrespect to the Emperor. Are you not afraid of angering the Emperor and bringing the catastrophe of annihilation upon your family?"

Jin Wanshan's face changed, "You were the one looking for trouble first. I am merely exercising my right to self-defense. Even if the Emperor hears of this, I trust he will not fault me."

"Self-defense?" Gao Fei laughed loud, "You're really funny! You're just a joke!"

"You dare insult me?" Jin Wanshan's face darkened.

"I just insulted you, what are you going to do about it?" Gao Fei said with a fierce demeanor, "Jin Wanshan, listen to me carefully, if you hand over Jin Xiaolong quietly today, I won't make things difficult for you. But if you don't hand him over, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The conversation had broken down at this point. Since reasoning failed, it was time for action.

"Attack!" Jin Wanshan gestured grandly, "No need to hold back, I'll take responsibility if anyone gets killed!"

"Whoosh..."

The hundred or so enforcers charged forward.

"Leave the ones at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm to me, the rest are up to you guys," Gao Fei roared to the sky and then pulled out a large hammer, swinging it towards the enforcers.

Chen San and Liu Qing stood back to back, wielding their weapons, fighting against the fierce enforcers.

The fight started quickly and ended just as fast.

In only the time it took to burn half an incense stick, the fight was over! All of the enforcers lay on the ground, some with swollen noses and bruised faces, others with broken arms and legs, and some unconscious.
