The Magnificent Son-in-law

Just when the atmosphere was getting awkward, the little girl came out to save the day.

She moved a chair for Gu Wenhui and courteously said, "Sister, why don't we sit down and talk?"

If Di Junxiong were present, he'd probably be moved to tears, feeling that calling her "Master's wife" wasn't in vain.

It was only at this moment that Gu Wenhui exhibited emotions typical of an ordinary woman.

She gave the little girl a warm smile and complimented, "What a pretty girl. I came in a hurry this time and didn't prepare anything. Let me think about what gift to give you..."

As she spoke, she truly began to think seriously. Evidently, the little girl's address of "Sister" was quite pleasing to her.

Unbeknownst to her, the little girl called her "Sister" not because Gu Wenhui looked young due to well-maintained beauty, but simply to avoid disrupting seniority.

After all, since Di Junxiong calls the little girl "Master's wife," it's perfectly reasonable for the little girl to call Gu Wenhui "Sister."

Gu Wenhui leisurely opened her backpack, rummaging through it for a while before frowning slightly, seemingly unable to find an appropriate gift.

The little girl declined, "No need, I don't need any gifts."

Gu Wenhui smiled and said, "Since I've already spoken, I can't go back on my word. I looked through my bag and there's nothing suitable for you, but outside the bag..."

Upon saying this, Gu Wenhui paused briefly, then directly removed a diamond from her bag and handed it to the little girl, "Here, take this."

For a moment, everyone was utterly astonished. This way of giving a meeting gift was certainly unheard of.

It seemed, too, that the little girl had exceptional luck in receiving gifts; Zhen Jinghan fell for it before, and now Gu Wenhui couldn't escape it either.

"Take it," Gu Wenhui smiled sweetly at the little girl, finding her increasingly pleasing to the eye.

The little girl didn't immediately reach for the diamond. Instead, she glanced at Xiao Feng who was sitting nearby. Only when he nodded did she accept the diamond, "Thank you, Sister!"

Not far away, Zhao Guo'an clicked his tongue in surprise, "Women... So tell me, if I went over there and called her 'Sister,' would I get a diamond too?"

"..." Everyone was speechless, thinking that while getting a diamond wasn't certain, receiving some eye-rolls definitely was.

"Do you have other business?"

Seeing the diamond was in hand, Xiao Feng got straight to the point, thinking that this was certainly a good deal, considering the diamond's size must be worth several millions at least.

Gu Wenhui nodded, "I do, but it's best if we talk privately."

"Does it benefit me?"

"That depends on your interpretation."

Xiao Feng contemplated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright, follow me."

With that, he headed towards the main house.

Gu Wenhui got up to follow but heard Zhang Lang's dissuasion, "Madam, it's too unsafe for you to go alone. Let me stay by your side to ensure your safety."

"Oh?" Gu Wenhui squinted her eyes, "Don't you find such words laughable now?"

"I..." Zhang Lang was momentarily speechless.

Indeed, if he had defeated Xiao Feng just now, such a statement would be understandable.

However, since he lost to Xiao Feng, saying he'd provide safety was clearly an exaggeration.

After leaving a parting remark, Gu Wenhui ignored him, followed Xiao Feng into the house, and closed the door, blocking the view of everyone in the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Guo'an sighed with feelings, "Old Xiao's charm is no small thing, late at night, alone with a woman in a room..."

Before he finished, the present group of women interrupted him irately, "Shut up!"

Zhao Guo'an immediately felt a chill run through his body, like falling into an icy hole; if he had special training, he'd know this was real killing intent.

But even without such training, Zhao Guo'an wasn't foolish. Knowing his earlier comments had aroused public anger, he could only resentfully shut his mouth.

At this moment, luxury cars stopped at the entrance, the passenger side window rolled down.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Lang quickly walked down the steps, as the driver in the main driver's seat said gloomily, "Don't blame me for not warning you, if anything happens to Madam, you won't even be able to wish you were dead."

"Thanks for the warning!" Zhang Lang's heart skipped a beat as he quickly walked towards the courtyard.

However, just as he reached the entrance, Lin Zhiyan's voice rang out, "If you don't want to die, stand honestly at the door and wait."

Along with the threatening words came a strong killing intent, as if stepping a foot forward would doom him to a certain death.

"..." Zhang Lang.

Looking back, he found the car window already up.

At this moment, the bodyguard nicknamed "Little Qiang" had to reconsider a familiar dilemma.

Go inside?

Or not?

Or rather, is it enduring a life worse than death later, or dying immediately now?

...

"This time, I've come to discuss cooperation with you." Gu Wenhui cut to the chase, not wasting words.

She already figured out that Xiao Feng was not someone who liked beating around the bush, so whether he liked it or not, being straightforward was the best choice for now.

"What kind of cooperation?" Xiao Feng asked.

Gu Wenhui sat herself at the other end of the Eight Immortals table, realizing that it was impossible to expect this guy to invite her to sit, so she had to rely on her own initiative.

After a moment of thought, Gu Wenhui said, "Depends on what you need. Whether it's business, real estate development, tourism, or any money-making idea you can think of, I can provide support."

Xiao Feng immediately understood that she had found out about him frequently claiming taxi fares from Song Keren while serving as a consultant to the police, thus assuming he was greedy for money.

Though it seemed somewhat true, Gu Wenhui clearly overestimated the importance of money to Xiao Feng.

Because if Xiao Feng were truly intent on amassing wealth, he would have far more than his current assets.

Nevertheless, Xiao Feng didn't expose this, and instead asked along the line, "What do I need to do for you?"

Without hesitation, Gu Wenhui said, "It's very simple, just let Junxiong join the Demon Suppression Action Team and become a reserve member like you."

Upon hearing about the Demon Suppression Action Team, Xiao Feng frowned slightly, "How can you be sure I can help with that? I'm just a reserve member."

"To be frank, although my current investigation isn't fully comprehensive, I can at least be sure that you're not just a simple reserve member," Gu Wenhui contemplated, "Or rather, your identity as a reserve member itself has issues."

"What issues?"

"The selection of members for the Demon Suppression Action Team makes its composition like a sharp sword, drawn to see blood. Yet, given your background, you've never served in the military or police, so how could you be a reserve member?"

Saying this, Gu Wenhui decisively stated, "So, you must have your own methods, and what I need is precisely the method you have at your disposal."
