A philosopher once said: any secret known by more than three people is essentially known by the whole world.
And reality perfectly validates the correctness of this statent.
Just three days after Bai Huanyu and Bai Tieniu had their "father-son bonding," the news reached Xiao Feng's ears.
When he heard this explosive piece of news, his expression was quite a sight.
Xue Nuofu looked at the dumbfounded Xiao Feng and said, "This thing is spreading like wildfire, and it seems to be getting wider, but the authenticity isn't guaranteed, as there aren't any photos or videos leaked yet."
"There's a ninety percent chance it's true," Xiao Feng said flatly.
Honestly, he never expected things would turn out like this.
Originally, it was about retaliating for the other's betrayal and scheming against him, but who would have thought that old guy Bai Huanyu wouldn't be picky and cause such a sensational event.
And externally, there was a great deal of discussion enthusiasm about this matter.
So people thought it was false news, justifying that even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs.
Bai Huanyu has money and status; even if he secretly likes to play around, it wouldn't go to the extent of involving his own son.
However, others thought it was true, because the blood relation would make it more thrilling, sothing money can't buy.
At this mont, Xue Nuofu frowned and said, "How can you be so sure it's ninety percent true?
Hold on!
This thing, couldn't be you…"
Xiao Feng ignored him and was secretly speculating in his heart.
Could Bai Huanyu be afraid of spending money or leaking the secret, so that's why he targeted Bai Tieniu?
Previously, due to accidentally taking the Original Heart Pill, he ended up paying Miao Zhihui millions in hush money.
If you use that price as a reference, even if Bai Huanyu had money, he couldn't afford to squander like this…
Soon, Xiao Feng dismissed this guess.
Bai Huanyu's two "outbursts of demon nature" were both due to the effects of the dicine, rather than his own willingness.
So, Bai Tieniu getting caught, nine out of ten was... a coincidence?
"The Bai Family didn't provide any clarification, right?" Xiao Feng asked.
Xue Nuofu laughed and said, "How could they give any clarification?
Think about it, this sounds like such fake news. If they co out to clarify, wouldn't that seem suspicious?
Bai Huanyu isn't a fool; he knows the more he tries to explain, the worse it gets. The best approach is to handle it coldly."
"How far have you and Jia Luo developed?" Xiao Feng continued to ask.
Xue Nuofu's mouth twitched; this topic is a bit erratic.
But, he still replied, "Personal privacy, no comnt."
"No comnt?" Xiao Feng furrowed his brows: "Fine, then talk about sothing non-private. The Wang Tingwei I asked you to find, how's the search going?"
"Uh... for now, there's no news yet."
"No news?
I'm asking you, how many days has it been?
You run to Jia Luo every day; no wonder you can't find the person!"
Xue Nuofu was montarily speechless, simultaneously realizing why Xiao Feng earlier shifted the topic to Jia Luo.
At this ti, a lovely figure appeared at the door.
The person walked with their hands clasped behind and hopped as they walked, giving off a lively and playful vibe full of vitality.
Apart from the little girl, only Hua Ling could walk like this.
"Have you guys had breakfast?" Hua Ling asked, blinking her big eyes.
"No," Xiao Feng shook his head in response.
Hua Ling's eyes brightened, and she smiled: "Perfect, I haven't eaten either, I'll join you all for breakfast later."
"You guys chat, I'll go back and see if Old Zhao has prepared the al." Xue Nuofu imdiately found an excuse to slip away, avoiding being scolded by Xiao Feng.
A mont later, Hua Ling couldn't help but frown: "Hey, even if you don't want to let mooch a al, you don't have to show it so obviously, right?
I'm here for a serious matter this ti, not just to eat your food for free."
Xiao Feng was too lazy to explain to her, and bluntly asked: "What serious matter do you have?
Say it."
"You forgot?" Hua Ling said displeasedly: "I ntioned it to you a few days ago."
She was indeed quite angry because this guy in front of her didn't seem to care about what she said.
Xiao Feng glanced up at her once but couldn't be bothered to recall anything.
Now all his attention is focused on figuring out who's causing trouble for him and how to continue boosting Original Heart Pill sales.
Currently, even though Original Heart Pill sales still seem quite good.
But Xiao Feng did so calculations and compared it to the ti before the "long ssage" appeared; the daily average sales of Original Heart Pill dropped by thirty percent, and according to observations over the past two days, there are no signs of recovery.
Just one false ssage has this big of an impact.
If it happens again, could he even stay afloat?
Seeing that Xiao Feng wasn't saying anything, Hua Ling had to speak up: "I ca this ti because of the year-end assessnt. The higher-ups agreed to let all of you join the Demon Suppression Action Team. If you pass the assessnt, you beco external mbers."
"Not interested."
"Not interested?!" Hua Ling exclaid: "Do you know how much effort I put in to make this happen, how much good words I said, how many people I offended!
It's finally settled, and you tell you're not interested?
If you're not interested, you could have said so earlier!"
By the end, her eyes were starting to redden.
Xiao Feng looked at her, sighed, and said: "Alright, after breakfast, we'll set off to the assessnt site to prepare for the annual assessnt."
Even though deep down, he really isn't that interested, life still has to be lived, and he can't just do nothing until he finds the people behind Wang Tingwei.
It's also the perfect ti during this period of inactivity to get this done, which will be beneficial in the future.
"You!" Hua Ling said angrily: "You're purposely teasing , aren't you?"
"Ha!" Xiao Feng laughed at himself: "I wish I had the leisure."
Hua Ling scrutinized Xiao Feng's expression and thought about his tone. She imdiately realized sothing was wrong and asked: "Did sothing happen?"
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Feng retorted.
"Since I t you, I've never seen you like this. If you encounter a difficult problem, you can tell . Maybe I can help."
After a pause, Hua Ling added: "Even if I can't help, I could share so of your worries!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng felt sowhat moved.
However, he also knew the other party couldn't help much, so he shook his head and didn't delve deeper into the topic.
At this mont, the little girl finished her washing and erged from the villa holding a plastic basin with cartoon prints, containing Xiao Xiangzhu's breakfast.
Upon seeing Hua Ling, the girl's relaxed brows imdiately furrowed: "You're here again?"
"My legs are on my own body; I can go wherever I want." Hua Ling responded with so irritation.
Then she tiptoed forward, leaned in, and upon clearly seeing what the little girl had in the plastic basin, she laughed: "Is this your breakfast?"
