After receiving feedback from Dong Ruyan, Jiang Feng had no choice but to return ho first.
He felt like he had all the strength in the world, yet could only hit the air.
Since his rebirth, this was the first ti he encountered such a situation.
The other party abducted soone without a trace and left no clues, making it impossible for him to save Zhu Ge Yuheng.
When he returned to the villa, the four won at ho hadn't rested yet.
Bai Zhiqing and Mu Yanluo had already returned to their hos, but they also said that if Jiang Feng returned with any progress, he should inform them.
"Uncle, you're back!"
As soon as Chu Feifei saw Jiang Feng return, she imdiately ca forward and asked, "Did you find Uncle Zhuge's whereabouts? Who abducted him?"
Nangong Qingcheng hesitated to speak beside her.
She could tell Chu Feifei was very worried, but she shouldn't have asked so anxiously.
Jiang Feng had been busy outside all day, presumably for this matter.
But his current expression clearly showed there were no significant developnts. Chu Feifei's question would only add to his frustrations.
"There is currently a small clue; he was taken by a woman at four in the morning. I've already asked several friends to help investigate her identity. As soon as there is a clue, I'll go find him, alive or dead."
So much ti had passed that even Jiang Feng wasn't sure if Zhu Ge Yuheng was still alive.
However, he should be alive because if the woman wanted to kill him, she would have done it in the villa without going through the trouble to take him out.
As for why the woman abducted Zhu Ge Yuheng, Jiang Feng didn't know yet, but he believed the truth would eventually erge.
After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Chu Feifei's eyes couldn't help but redden again, feeling extrely sad.
She had spent the entire day in a daze, unable to focus.
If anything happened to Zhu Ge Yuheng, it would undoubtedly be another heavy blow to her!
"Fei'er, don't worry. I believe Zhu Ge Yuheng won't die so easily. He has weathered so many storms; he won't capsize in this little ditch." Jiang Feng comforted Chu Feifei as he saw her downcast face.
Chu Feifei nodded vigorously, "Uncle, I know, I'm sorry, I was just a bit anxious earlier..."
She realized she had been a bit presumptuous, so she sincerely apologized to Jiang Feng.
"Why are you saying this to ? It's late; you've been worried sick all day too. Get so rest, all of you. I'll tell you the investigation results first thing tomorrow morning."
Although Chu Feifei was not sleepy at the mont, she knew staying up would be aningless. Newest update provided by novelfire(.)net
Perhaps, after a night's sleep, there might actually be good news tomorrow?
She sighed helplessly and went upstairs feeling dejected.
Remaining were Nangong Qingcheng, Liu Shiyuan, and Zhang Qinyao, who all glanced at Jiang Feng before sighing helplessly too, returning to their rooms.
Only Jiang Feng remained seated on the sofa, still pondering the female perpetrator's identity.
Ti passed by unknowingly.
Suddenly, Jiang Feng heard light footsteps approaching him.
He thought it was Zhang Qinyao, but he was startled to see who it really was!
"Qingcheng? Why aren't you asleep?"
Jiang Feng looked at Nangong Qingcheng unexpectedly and asked in confusion.
Nangong Qingcheng made a shushing gesture, indicating to not wake Zhang Qinyao in the room downstairs.
Then, she gently sat beside Jiang Feng and whispered, "I didn't feel rested about you, so I ca down to check."
"What's there to be uneasy about ?"
For so reason, seeing Nangong Qingcheng at this mont made Jiang Feng feel sowhat uncomfortable.
Perhaps the incident with Situ Yan in the afternoon made him feel guilty.
He just felt unworthy of facing Nangong Qingcheng's sincere and caring gaze.
Nangong Qingcheng didn't notice Jiang Feng's discomfort, gently sighed, and said, "Since we went to the Provincial City, you've barely rested these past few days. Challenges have co one after another, and now just as you're finally ho, Zhu Ge Yuheng gets into trouble… You haven't rested well in a long ti..."
Nangong Qingcheng truly felt sorry for Jiang Feng, and she had long wanted to say these words to him but struggled to find the opportunity.
Now that they were finally ho, she seized the chance to pour out her heart.
Listening to her, Jiang Feng's heart ward in waves, while his sense of guilt deepened.
"Qingcheng, you don't have to worry about . I was born for trouble; peaceful days have always been elusive to . Sotis, even if I don't seek trouble, it finds anyway, unavoidable." Jiang Feng said with feigned ease.
"Even so, you're not made of iron. There'll always be a point of exhaustion. How long do you plan on running yourself ragged?" Nangong Qingcheng asked, nibbling her lip while looking at him.
"Sotis, I truly think that it would've been better if we hadn't moved out of Grandpa's place, or if I didn't establish Fengming. That way, our lives would be peaceful. Although ordinary, we wouldn't be embroiled in so many storms and et so many big figures."
Jiang Feng was taken aback by her words, pausing before speaking.
Was Nangong Qingcheng suggesting that if given another choice, she'd rather endure solitude and diocrity, staying by his side even at the cost of her own glory?
"Of course, I also know that with your abilities, even if ti rewound, you wouldn't live an uneventful life. My wish is just one-sided; being gold, you'll always shine."
Nangong Qingcheng suddenly gave a self-deprecating smile, speaking bitterly.
"Qingcheng, you're telling this out of the blue, and I don't even know what to say."
Jiang Feng imdiately felt uneasy, his remorse inexpressible: "I promise you truly have no need to worry about . Your husband is much more capable than you think! No matter how big the issue, it's never a problem for !"
"I believe you. Of course, I believe you!"
Nangong Qingcheng smiled and said, "I just wanted to share my thoughts with you. Now that I've said it, I feel much better! I've been bottling these up for days. I had to get it off my chest, right?"
"I won't bother you anymore, I'm heading up. Make sure to get so rest too."
"Qingcheng!" Suddenly, Jiang Feng called after Nangong Qingcheng, looking serious.
"Hmm?" Nangong Qingcheng was already standing, turning back to face him.
Without a word, Jiang Feng stood up and forcefully embraced Nangong Qingcheng.
Nangong Qingcheng was caught off guard, her face flushing instantly.
She instinctively wanted to struggle but quickly held back.
Truth be told, she had longed for such a hug for a while.
She was just worried if they moved too much, they'd wake Zhang Qinyao in the other room and expose their secret.
"I promise you, for you, for our future together, I will never let anything happen to . You don't need to worry about ; just be healthy, happy, and carefree."
"You focus on blooming your splendor, and I'll focus on ruling the world!"
"My vow to you will never change!"
With that, Jiang Feng directly leaned in to kiss Nangong Qingcheng's slightly parted, rosy lips deeply.
He wrapped his arms tightly around this beloved, cherished woman, holding her wholly in his embrace!
