The Magnificent Son-in-law Chapter 689: Returning a Favor

"Explain to , how am I a servant to three families?" Xue Nuofu said sullenly.

Xiao Feng said calmly, "At the Devil's Concentration Camp, you were replaced by soone; at the Demon Suppression Action Team, you were backed out by soone.

Now you're here with , which makes the third. Isn't this being a servant to three families?"

Upon hearing the words "Devil's Concentration Camp" and "Demon Suppression Action Team," the little girl and Lu Yao imdiately lost their composure.

But before they could speak and ask, Du Qingyue pulled the two of them into the study to explain privately.

Jiang Yixin, feeling bored alone, also followed to the study, leaving only Xiao Feng and Xue Nuofu in the living room.

Despite people constantly walking in to move things to the basent, the conversation wasn't interrupted.

"How is the intelligence network I asked you to build?" Xiao Feng asked, crossing his legs.

Xue Nuofu said angrily, "The money's not enough. How do you expect to build it?"

"Old Third—oh, no, Old Xue, you can't work like this," Xiao Feng said with a laid-back deanor. "I took you in, not expecting you to do nothing.

You need to show so results for , right?"

Xue Nuofu gritted his teeth and said, "I've already put in eight million myself, which is my entire fortune. What more do you want from ?"

"Your entire fortune is only eight million?" Xiao Feng looked skeptical, saying in disbelief, "Impossible, right?"

"Believe it or not, all my money is already invested. To continue, more needs to be added," Xue Nuofu said irritably.

"How much more?"

"At least two million, but let say upfront, two million will only last for half a month."

Xiao Feng thought for a mont and said, "Alright, I'll front the two million. But have you gotten anything useful after these few days of hard work?"

He asked, hoping for anything at all, not expecting Xue Nuofu to reveal anything big.

After all, in just a few days, expecting imdiate results is sowhat unrealistic.

Unexpectedly, Xue Nuofu nodded and said, "Actually, there is."

"Let's hear it," Xiao Feng perked up.

"I know you have a feud with Miao Youmin. Do you know about his wife's background?"

"Why would I care about his wife?"

Xue Nuofu said, "Miao Youmin's wife is no ordinary person; her na is Bai Lisha, and the Bai Family behind her is one of Jiangcheng's most entrenched families.

Miao Youmin fell, and any company linked with him has been skinned without exception.

Imagine anyone would feel aggrieved encountering such a situation.

And Bai Lisha's brother Bai Yongge is using this to gather all those affected by Miao Youmin's downfall, preparing to take revenge on you."

Xiao Feng smiled, "Interesting. Go on."

"That's all known for now. The updated information hasn't co in," Xue Nuofu said. "However, I have people continue gathering information."

"Hmm..." Xiao Feng mused, "Beyond collecting information on Bai Family's every move, pay attention to which people and companies are involved in Bai Family's plans.

These people will be the key targets in the future and also the source of funds for the intelligence network."

Saying this, Xiao Feng sneered, "If they want to deal with , they'd better be ready for a heavy loss."

"Understood," Xue Nuofu nodded in comprehension.

At this mont, the phone on the couch rang.

Xiao Feng picked it up and saw it was a WeChat call with the na boldly displayed as... "Love Xiao Feng the Most".

"..." Xiao Feng.

Answering the call, Xiao Feng didn't wait for Hua Ling to say anything, directly stating, "Can you change the nickna?"

"No," Hua Ling replied bluntly, "I'm deliberately trying to annoy Mu Shihan, don't overthink it."

Xiao Feng's expression darkened, saying, "You've set it so she can't search for your WeChat, and Shihan doesn't see it; who are you showing it to then?"

Hua Ling fell silent for a mont before saying, "You have a point. I'll change it after the call."

For this girl who flip-flops between wise and clueless, Xiao Feng was at a loss for words and directly asked, "So, what do you want this ti?"

Hua Ling didn't beat around the bush, straightforwardly saying, "A bad hostage situation has occurred at Jinyue Garden, where you live, seriously threatening people's lives and property..."

Xiao Feng impatiently interrupted, "Stop, stop, stop, stop. If sothing like this happens, call the police directly; why tell ?"

"The police are present, but the suspect's emotions are extrely unstable, and several negotiating experts couldn't persuade him.

So, the criminal investigation team requested elite personnel support from higher-ups, and it fell on ," Hua Ling explained.

"Ha..." Xiao Feng understood, chuckling lightly, "So, you're suggesting I go over to help?"

"You've got nothing better to do anyway; you could do everyone a favor," Hua Ling said cheekily.

"What makes you think I've got nothing to do? I'm very busy now, no ti, goodbye!"

With that, Xiao Feng directly hung up the phone.

Hua Ling quickly sent another ssage: "Go once and repay the favor you owe on the highway."

Seeing the ssage, Xiao Feng instinctively wanted to refuse, but he didn't want to owe Hua Ling a favor.

After so thought, he finally sent back an OK emoji.

Looking at Xue Nuofu beside him, Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel sad, sighing, "Old Xue, life was better when you were in the Demon Suppression Action Team."

Xue Nuofu was utterly baffled, completely unable to understand why Xiao Feng suddenly made such a remark.

Xiao Feng got up, walked to the study, and opened the door, saying, "I have to go out; keep an eye on things here."

"Where to?"

"Where to?"

"Where to?"

"Where to?"

The little girl, Du Qingyue, Jiang Yixin, and Lu Yao, asked in unison.

Surprised, Xiao Feng said, "Not leaving the villa area. They said so guy took hostages and wants to go support, lend a hand."

Du Qingyue stood up and walked over, looking at Xiao Feng's bandaged right hand with concern, saying, "If you're injured, why not let go instead?"

"No need," Xiao Feng shook his head, "It's just one hand. Handling a few small crooks is more than enough, don't worry. If I feel I can't manage, I definitely won't force it."

Not letting Du Qingyue go was partly due to Xiao Feng's personal reasons.

Hua Ling ntioned in the call that the criminal investigation team requested support, aning Miao Yueqian is likely on the scene.

Although there's nothing between him and Miao Yueqian, should they et, it might cause trouble for him.

Also, while Du Qingyue is no longer who she used to be, her skills and experience have gaps. If her reactions fall short, it could be dangerous.

Considering these factors, Xiao Feng felt it was safer for him to go.

"Alright then, rember what you said, don't force it," Du Qingyue reminded him.
