The Magnificent Son-in-law

Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue left around eight o'clock in the evening, and by the time they dealt with Red Hair Dog and his men, it was almost ten.

Upon exiting the mall, Du Qingyue sneaked a glance at Xiao Feng beside her, recalling their previous experience, and couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

Just when Red Hair Dog and his men rushed in, Xiao Feng had already shielded half of Du Qingyue's body from behind.

Recalling that back in front of her, Du Qingyue felt like a mountain blocked her front, with no worry of getting hurt.

This feeling of security, she had yearned for countless times, but now that she truly found a sense of safety, her heart was full of complexity...

"Alright, the mall's about to close anyway; let's come back another day." Xiao Feng said with his hands in his pockets.

Du Qingyue snapped out of her thoughts, just about to speak, but heard Xiao Feng's phone ringing.

Xiao Feng took out his phone and saw that the caller was his second uncle.

"Hello, still not resting yet, Second Uncle?" Xiao Feng answered the phone and said.

Zhou Jiwen feigned anger as he said, "You brat, such a big matter, yet didn't discuss it with me."

Xiao Feng was puzzled: "Second Uncle, what are you referring to?"

"Still playing dumb!" Zhou Jiwen said sullenly, "Getting married, a lifelong event, and you didn't even inform me. Do you really treat your uncle like an outsider?"

"Uh..." Xiao Feng was suddenly at a loss for words. He knew in his heart that his marriage with Du Qingyue was fake, but the problem was others didn't know.

In the eyes of outsiders, not informing elders about a marriage was indeed somewhat excessive.

"Come over tomorrow, remember to bring your wife along. I have prepared a big red envelope for you both." Zhou Jiwen stated his real intention.

Xiao Feng glanced at Du Qingyue beside him and hesitated before replying, "Ah, Second Uncle... maybe another day. You know Lanyue Group is a big company, with a lot to handle daily. Once we get past this busy period, we'll surely visit you."

"Then pass the phone to your wife, I want to talk to her for a couple of words." Zhou Jiwen relented.

Xiao Feng could finally find no reason to refuse, besides Zhou Jiwen wanting to contact Du Qingyue wasn't something too difficult.

"My second uncle wants to speak with you." Xiao Feng handed the phone to Du Qingyue.

Du Qingyue took the phone and surprisingly flashed a smile, greeting, "Hello Second Uncle, I'm Du Qingyue."

"Good, good, good!" Zhou Jiwen on the other end of the line chuckled heartily, "Though we haven't met, I've heard of your name long ago."

"You flatter me, Second Uncle." Du Qingyue politely replied.

"Do you have time tomorrow noon?" Zhou Jiwen warmly invited, "Come over with Xiao Feng at noon. You're getting married, and as your uncle, I should show some expression."

Du Qingyue thought for a moment, then replied, "Alright, we will definitely make time to come."

After hanging up, Du Qingyue returned the phone to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng was somewhat surprised looking at Du Qingyue, as if he hadn't expected her to accept Zhou Jiwen's invitation.

After hanging up, Du Qingyue's expression returned to calm, as if she had noticed Xiao Feng's confusion, she said, "If the Du Family invited you over, you wouldn't refuse either, right?"

With that, she walked forward on her own.

Xiao Feng chuckled, Du Qingyue's personality in a way was quite hard to evaluate.

Little did he know, Du Qingyue was also just as puzzled, but couldn't restrain that indescribable impulse inside... wanting to learn more about Xiao Feng indirectly through Zhou Jiwen.

When they returned to courtyard No. 9, Jiang Yixin wasn't in the living room watching TV; seems like she had gone upstairs to sleep.

Du Qingyue left behind a sentence "Lock the door," after which she went upstairs.

Xiao Feng walked into the courtyard and sat on the steps in a thoughtful manner.

The night breeze blew over, making him feel a bit chilly.

In a way, Zhou Jiwen counted as one of his weaknesses, so he didn't want to have too much contact before thoroughly standing firm.

Just like the previous assassination, Xiao Feng could easily evade it, but Zhou Jiwen surely wouldn't be spared.

After sitting idle for a long time, Xiao Feng stood up and prepared to lock the door and rest.

Just then, a faint "whizz" sound caught his ear.

Xiao Feng's eyebrows furrowed, then his eyes widened, this sound... gunfire?!

As soon as the conclusion was made, he heard a crisp "snap" sound, it was the sound produced when glass shatters.

Xiao Feng instantly became alert, running out to check the courtyard, only to find courtyard No. 8 not far away, the glass on the second floor shattered entirely.

Song Keren is in trouble!

Thinking of this, Xiao Feng immediately rushed towards courtyard No. 8, not even knocking, he jumped over the courtyard wall from the outside, as agile as a mountain monkey.

Entering the courtyard, Xiao Feng relentlessly rushed into the villa, heading directly to the brightly lit room on the second floor.

However, upon opening the door, he saw a black gun barrel aimed right at him.

Song Keren holding the gun had a painful expression, her right hand holding the gun, left hand covering the injured right arm, blood continuously flowing through the fingers, unable to stop.

"Why is it you?!" Song Keren seeing it was Xiao Feng, instantly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered the gun, and slumped to the ground.

Xiao Feng quickly stepped forward to support Song Keren, then tore a piece of bed sheet to tie on the injured part of Song Keren, to stop the blood flow and prevent excessive bleeding.

"I'll take you to the hospital." Xiao Feng put Song Keren's hand on his shoulder, and was about to help her up.

However, Song Keren pulled her hand back, clenched her teeth, and squeezed out a few words through her teeth: "No, I won't go to the hospital."

Xiao Feng frowned, looking at Song Keren trembling all over in pain, puzzled, "Injured, not going to the hospital, can you handle it yourself?"

"Anyway, not going to the hospital!" Song Keren stubbornly said, constantly taking in cold air.

What Song Keren didn't say was she knew once she went to the hospital, the family would definitely know about it first, and her ambition to prove herself would completely crumble, the outcome she'd face, was something she'd rather die than bear.

These matters couldn't be voiced, only silently bearing it herself.

While thinking, Xiao Feng suddenly said, "Are you worried going to the hospital might lead your family to find out?"

Song Keren opened her eyes wide, overwhelmed with shock, temporarily ignoring her pain, is this guy capable of mind reading?

Xiao Feng chuckled, "Don't look at me like that, I'm just guessing. You are so young and already at the exact bureau level, if not for outstanding personal ability, it must be due to a strong background."

"But in my observation, in terms of ability... forget it, I better not say too much."

Song Keren's face instantly turned ugly, "If you came just to mock me, then you can leave now... Wait! Why did you appear so timely?"

Song Keren finally realized something was wrong, from getting shot to Xiao Feng appearing, at most counting wasn't more than five minutes, if said to be coincidental, it was somewhat far-fetched.
