"Have you made up your mind?" Du Qingyue asked with a smile.
"I have." Xiao Feng crossed his arms and replied, "Doing that would make look too cowardly, and besides, I don't even fear any retaliation from the Wu Family."
"So, you're not planning to make a call?" Du Qingyue nodded slowly, "Fine, if you won't call, I will."
With that, she was about to pick up the phone to call Wang Lubo.
Xiao Feng quickly stopped her, "I told you, there's no need."
Du Qingyue remained unmoved, "Consider it as giving myself peace of mind, so I don't have to worry about you, can't I?"
"..." Xiao Feng was montarily speechless.
When Wang Lubo received Du Qingyue's call, he was quite excited, "Sister-in-law, what brings you to call ? Where's Brother Feng?"
Du Qingyue didn't beat around the bush, smiling, "I'm reaching out to ask for a favor this ti."
"Sister-in-law, there's no need for such formality with and Brother Feng's relationship, just give your command." Wang Lubo readily agreed.
"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll get straight to the point." Du Qingyue said softly, "I need you to help spread the word about what's happened between Xiao Feng and Wu Tian over the past few days within your Kyoto circle."
"Not a problem..." Wang Lubo, who was just about to promise confidently, was suddenly taken aback, "Sister-in-law, did I hear wrong?"
Wang Lubo was genuinely baffled because in his mind, Du Qingyue's normal course of action would be to do everything possible to de-escalate the situation, wouldn't it?
He couldn't understand why it seed like she not only wasn't trying to put out the fire but also planned to add more fuel to it, letting it develop in a more out-of-control direction.
"You heard right." Du Qingyue said seriously, "Paper can't wrap fire, so rather than waiting for the Wu Family's revenge in the open, why not step onto the storm's edge proactively."
Chen Xiuxiu, who was listening by the side, had her eyes brighten; this move was indeed clever. Once all matters are brought to light, the Wu Family wouldn't dare touch Xiao Feng. They might even secretly protect him to prevent being manipulated.
Chen Xiuxiu shared her thoughts simply with Wang Lubo, which finally made him understand Du Qingyue's real intention and imdiately praised her, "Sister-in-law is indeed exceptional; your thinking is truly different from others!"
"I'll leave it to you then; I'll treat you to a al in a few days." Du Qingyue said politely.
Wang Lubo was overwheld and assured her he would get it done well.
At this mont, Wang Lubo seed to have opened up; the situation was already ssy enough, so what if it gets a bit ssier!
Right after Du Qingyue ended her call with Wang Lubo, Xiao Feng received a call from Gong Kaishan, which was sowhat unexpected for him.
Xiao Feng originally thought that after this separation, even if there was so contact in the future, it would be quite a while. After all, according to Gong Kaishan, the Demon Suppression Action Team's activities weren't within Jiangcheng, but he didn't expect to be contacted just a few hours later.
"What's up?" Xiao Feng, not wanting to beat around the bush with Gong Kaishan, asked directly.
And Gong Kaishan seed not intending to be polite either; with a slightly heavy tone, he asked, "Do you know why those foreign experts insist on capturing that little girl?"
Xiao Feng's face darkened, thinking, isn't this obvious? He imdiately retorted with a bad mood, "What do you think?"
"Brother Xiao Feng, don't get upset. This ti, I'm calling to tell you that after our people questioned them, those foreign experts easily spilt the beans, but their reasons are indeed a bit startling," Gong Kaishan said with a bitter smile.
Xiao Feng was a bit fed up with this drip-feeding way of speaking, but before he could explode, a feminine voice ca from the phone, "You're such a big guy, speaking so wish-washily, aren't you ashad?"
This voice was familiar; it was clearly Gong Kaishan's team mber, Li Ying.
Li Ying snatched the phone and said straight, "To put it simply, a year ago, they accidentally discovered a special component in Lin Jiaxuan's blood, which is the virus source that previously caused people to beco agitated, lose control, and attack those around them."
This statent made Xiao Feng understand the reason for Han Lengyue's butler's rage, but a question imdiately erged, what was the relationship between the old man, Mu Shihan's grandfather, and these experts?
Could it be that the Sweet group's virus research was authorized by the old man?
After a mont of silence, Xiao Feng asked, "Why are you telling this? What's your plan?"
Despite asking, Xiao Feng had already guessed.
Without ntioning Lin Jiaxuan's actions as Blood Nightmare, just based on the "virus source" fact, the authorities couldn't ignore it. At the very least, they would send people to closely monitor her and might even restrict her freedom.
Li Ying's style was obviously more straightforward than Gong Kaishan, directly answering, "That's right, according to the orders above, they're taking Lin Jiaxuan's blood samples imdiately, and she cannot leave Jiangcheng before the results co out, then decide what to do next according to the situation."
After saying that, Li Ying added, "Moreover, I always feel like this matter is inseparable from the Devil's Concentration Camp."
Xiao Feng sighed, "The big sister from the Devil's Concentration Camp was just seen in Jiangcheng..."
Before he could finish, Li Ying and Gong Kaishan exclaid together, "What did you say?!"
"To be precise, it was less than an hour before your call." Xiao Feng said calmly.
The call ended abruptly; Gong Kaishan didn't even ask where Xiao Feng was, but Xiao Feng was sure they were already on their way to him.
Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, the familiar jeep drove into the hospital, where Xiao Feng had been waiting at the entrance, with no surprise at all.
"What's going on exactly?" Gong Kaishan asked with a serious face, "Is she still in the hospital?"
"If she was, would he still be waiting here for us?" Li Ying pointed at Xiao Feng, looking at Gong Kaishan as if he were an idiot.
Once in the car, Xiao Feng briefly explained the situation but omitted so parts, like Su Yuzhuo's eting with Du Qingyue, only ntioning that Su Yuzhuo had beaten up Wu Tian's gang.
Gong Kaishan and Li Ying reacted differently; Gong Kaishan felt regret and anger, while Li Ying wasn't too surprised. If capturing the target were that easy, there would be no need for the Demon Suppression Action Team.
Xiao Feng chose to be honest with them naturally for his own reasons, the most important being that being constantly targeted by Su Yuzhuo was not ideal; it would be better to have a quick resolution.
Although the Demon Suppression Action Team might not be that strong, their intelligence system was complete, backed by substantial power, which Xiao Feng had no reason not to utilize.
After a while, Li Ying touched her chin, pondering, "You just said that the big sister from the Devil's Concentration Camp ca to the hospital, beat up the young master of the Wu Family, and left?"
Xiao Feng nodded.
"The young master of the Wu Family ca to the hospital to seek revenge against you?" Li Ying continued to ask.
Xiao Feng continued to nod; there was no need to hide it, as Wu Tian could easily reveal it anyway.
Gong Kaishan frowned, "In any case, the Wu Family's young master needs a thorough investigation. I'll call the boss now."
"Agreed!" Xiao Feng's eyes lit up as he vigorously shook Gong Kaishan's hand, "Great minds think alike; I had the sa idea as you."
Li Ying coldly said, "You're really trying to settle personal grudges and annoy the Wu Family, right?"
"Wrong! Very wrong!" Xiao Feng righteously said, "The Devil's Concentration Camp is cunning; what if they're trying to use Wu Tian to insert a spy among us? Or what if the Wu Family has already been infiltrated by the Devil's Concentration Camp? These are very possible scenarios."
Even Gong Kaishan could now detect sothing was amiss, "Brother Xiao Feng, I understand your urge for settling personal scores, but can't it be less obvious?"
Li Ying, with a cold smile, looked at Xiao Feng, "See, even soone with Gong Kaishan's intelligence can see through your sche."
"What's wrong with my intelligence?" Gong Kaishan glared angrily.
Li Ying remained expressionless, "Lacks credit, needs a top-up."
