The Magnificent Son-in-law

Di Junxiong arrived at the scene with his team but didn't shout "Master Xiao Feng" like last time. Instead, he began asking questions routinely.

The accompanying police officers all felt a sense of eye-opening; they've been handling cases for years, but a "kidnapping case" like this, not only had they never seen it, they had never even heard of it.

"Officer, since their father and son, and our father and son are each insisting on their own version of the story, let's find the evidence and let the facts speak for themselves," Xiao Feng said calmly.

It's worth mentioning that when he mentioned "father," Xiao Feng patted his own chest, and when he mentioned "son," he gestured towards Zhao Guo'an.

Zhao Guo'an flared up on the spot: "Who's father and son with you!"

Xiao Feng waved a hand: "Don't get tangled up in these details. The most important thing now is to determine who's lying."

Di Junxiong couldn't help but chuckle, suppressing his laughter as he nodded, "We've already got officers checking, and I believe there will be results soon."

Zhao Huipeng took a deep breath; now the driver should have deleted the surveillance, and as for recovering the data, that's not something that can be done in a short time. This period is his time to operate.

But in any case, a severe setback is unavoidable.

Thinking of this made Zhao Huipeng's heart feel as if it was being cut by knives, decades of hard work and now back to square one overnight, truly the worst luck.

However, at this moment, the driver walked in with a towel, wiping his hands as he said, "Chairman, I've wiped the car inside and out, so now we..."

He stopped mid-sentence, clearly noticing the atmosphere wasn't right with the police in the room.

Zhao Huipeng turned pale, incredulously saying, "You, you just went out to...wipe the car?"

The driver nodded: "Yeah, didn't you tell me to do that?"

"I, I, I..."

Pointing at the driver, Zhao Huipeng was too angry to speak, his eyes rolled up and he fainted onto the floor.

The doctors lifting the injured Security Guard onto the ambulance were grinding their teeth; the situation here wasn't resolved when another person passed out over there. Can't anyone get a moment of peace?

Soon after, technicians reported that the surveillance footage confirmed the words of Xiao Feng and Zhao Guo'an were true. At least the fact that the three were tied up when brought inside was certain.

"Alright, got it," Di Junxiong replied flatly.

To him, the result wasn't surprising at all, and as for Zhao Huipeng and his son, there's no reason to sympathize, they've done bad things all over and provoked someone they shouldn't have, bringing trouble upon themselves.

...

By the time they left Pengyun Tea House, it was already the middle of the night. Zhao Guo'an and Xiao Feng together escorted Zhen Jinghan back to Yuechen Inn.

On the way back, they spotted a stall still open, and Zhao Guo'an suddenly stopped: "Since it's this late anyway, why don't we sit down and have a drink?"

Xiao Feng readily nodded: "Drinking sounds good, as long as you're paying, drink as much as you want."

After the food and drinks were placed on the table, Zhao Guo'an raised his glass and tapped it on the table: "I'll down this first."

After speaking, he drained the drink in one go, and his face visibly reddened.

Xiao Feng ate a peanut, it was obvious Zhao Guo'an wanted to say something fueled by the alcohol, and nine times out of ten it was about Zhen Jinghan.

Sure enough, after three consecutive drinks from his two-ounce glass, Zhao Guo'an said: "Old Xiao, tell me honestly, why are you so adamant about pairing me with Zhen Jinghan, what's your real intention?"

Xiao Feng laughed: "Honestly, at first it was to mess with you, but later it wasn't just that. Didn't you notice you and Zhen Jinghan are quite the match?

Put it this way, earlier when you were tasked to study a Mint Candy, you spent days without results, but as soon as Zhen Jinghan came, you had findings within a day, that's the power of love."

"Go to hell with your power of love!" Zhao Guo'an swore angrily: "I've figured it out, you just wanted to mess with me from the start."

"Think whatever you want." Xiao Feng shrugged indifferently.

Zhao Guo'an poured himself another drink and said: "Honestly, after spending the day together, I also feel Zhen Jinghan is quite nice, but I can't just tie myself down to one tree without seeing the wider world first, right?

Just like you, already married but surrounded by beauties, colorful flags flying outside and the red flag never falling at home, I'm truly envious."

Xiao Feng furrowed his brows, seriously contemplating Zhao Guo'an's words, and reached a shocking conclusion...

"According to what you just said, don't tell me you're still a virgin?" Xiao Feng asked in a tone as if discovering new land.

"Get lost, get lost, get lost!" Zhao Guo'an replied annoyed: "Can't I talk to you about something serious?"

"Am I not talking about serious matters?" Xiao Feng looked innocent, then chuckled: "When you used to help officials and nobility maintain their health, didn't anyone arrange a young lady for you?"

Zhao Guo'an replied righteously: "I always kept myself morally clean, unlike you."

Xiao Feng was not upset but nodded slowly: "Seems I wasn't wrong, you really are a virgin. Now... let me make another guess, given your mysterious personality, you're afraid that after getting close to Zhen Jinghan, if you cheat, you'll be struck dead by lightning?"

After a pause, Zhao Guo'an changed the subject: "Maybe Mu Shihan and the others were right, Zhen Jinghan isn't unlucky, she's excessively lucky, anyone who tries to hurt her is bound to have misfortune prepared.

The Boss of Yuechen Inn, Miao Ruifeng, the one who attempted to follow her, Fujiwara Keiaki, and that thug who suffered severe concussion tonight, are all prime examples right in front of us."

"So?" Xiao Feng asked curiously: "What are you planning?

"I've already thought of a solution." Zhao Guo'an suddenly laughed: "Come to think of it, you gave me the idea for this solution."

Xiao Feng impatiently said: "Don't babble, if you're going to talk, do it quickly, I can give you advice."

Zhao Guo'an flashed a deeply meaningful smile: "This is a trump card, you always said I attract elderly grandpas, right? Perfect, I'll use this reason to tell Zhen Jinghan directly that I'm actually into men.

Besides, I can naturally pull you into this, telling her the person I actually like is you, didn't see that coming, huh?

Hahahahaha!"

Xiao Feng looked at the wildly laughing Zhao Guo'an in front of him, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, is this heading towards madness?

"The idea is indeed great, but unfortunately..." Xiao Feng picked up the phone on the table, lit up the screen, and showed it to Zhao Guo'an: "Everything you just said was recorded, in other words, this idea can be declared bankrupt."

Zhao Guo'an was dumbfounded: "Drinking with me, you even recorded it?"

"One can never be too cautious." Xiao Feng shook his head, sighing deeply.

"..." Zhao Guo'an.
