Chapter 549: The more I look, the more I dislike it.

When the Dragon King arrived here, he thought Xiaofeng must be terrified beneath him. He hadn’t expected to see her pretending to be unconscious.

Thinking of this, the corner of his lips curved, and it seemed that the woman he used to like was indeed not too foolish; under such circumstances, she could still remain calm.

He stepped forward, crouched before her, watching her eyelashes flutter slightly as he bent down to pick her up.

Xiaofeng thought a bad person had come, but upon smelling the familiar scent of the person, her eyes naturally opened; she knew he would certainly not ignore her.

She merely opened her eyes slowly and asked softly, "How did you come here?"

The tone was gentle, as if his arrival was very natural, expected even.

"Feared you’d be scared to death here."

"Yeah, this place is indeed scary. If you hadn’t come, I might actually have died of fright here." Xiaofeng nodded earnestly.

Dragon King: "....."

I’d be damned if I believed that, he certainly didn’t see a trace of fear on her face; on the contrary, since she had arrived, the ants and bugs here ran faster than rabbits.

He couldn’t help but wonder if she had the ability to foresee and had asked her grandfather for some insect repellent.

"That female student should be rescued too, I saw that she was quite frightened," Xiaofeng suddenly remembered the female student was still pretending to be unconscious and promptly reminded him.

"An Yi is taking care of her." Dragon King carrying the other said, "This place isn’t safe, we need to get out quickly."

"Could it be that someone is going to blow this place up?"

"Yes." Where he was, she was.

Outside, Dagou looked at Ye Fei and his men with a firm tone: "Comrade, we really haven’t seen your Young Madam. You have searched and investigated, haven’t you found anything? Yes, I admit, our business actions are somewhat overbearing at times, but no one has complained, so it’s not illegal. Comrade, we are all law-abiding citizens, if you insist on investigating, we can only step aside and let you check, right?"

"But locally, we are considered influential figures, this kind of action would naturally affect our reputation." Dagou frowned, although he felt some trepidation inside him, he understood that he absolutely could not let them find out anything.

"Affect, what affect?" Xiaofeng, leading the female student out, wore a smile, her smile blooming like the flowers of spring, bright and mixed with fragrance.

Seeing the person who came out, Ye Fei’s face brightened: "Young Madam, are you alright?"

"I’m fine. This comrade was thrown into the sewer and was quite frightened."

"What sewer?" Dagou’s complexion changed: "Don’t talk nonsense, and besides, who is she? We don’t know her at all, maybe she stumbled in there by herself, why would you say it was us who did it?"

Xiaofeng chuckled lightly, looking at Dagou somewhat mockingly: "Dagou, I said she was thrown into the sewer, but I didn’t say it was you. You’re fitting the cap on yourself so quickly; are you feeling guilty?"

Dagou: "....."

"Young Madam, what sewer, what is the situation down there? Should we take someone to check it out?" The Young Madam mentioned the sewer; there must be something wrong with that sewer."

"Go, of course we should go. The scene down there is quite something to see; you will definitely be interested." Xiaofeng smiled as she turned: "Come on, I’ll take you there."

"Hold on." Dagou’s voice changed slightly: "This is all residential housing here, how can there be any hidden chamber? You must be mistaken. Moreover, Young Madam Gu, you suddenly came over wanting to discuss business with us, we were also very sincere in discussing business with you, now you bring this up, what are you trying to do?"

"Weren’t you the ones who invited me over for tea? And you told me, even though I’m from the Imperial Capital, and the capital is far from here as the heavens are from the emperor, no one can do anything to you? Now that you say this, I actually want to see who’s got your back, capable of even murder and muzzling."

Dagou’s complexion changed.

But Xiaofeng turned around, leading Ye Fei and his men towards the utility room.

All of a sudden, Dagou stepped forward, wrapped his arm around Old Yuan’s head, and pressed a pistol against it, a fierce look on his face: "If you dare take one more step, I’ll blow his brains out."

Yuan Junkai was startled and shouted nervously: "Dad."

Old Yuan himself was not afraid, very calm: "At my age, life and death are already clear to me. Xiaofeng, go ahead, don’t mind me. I want to see if they dare really shoot; if he shoots, it’s good, catch him red-handed, and he won’t have the chance to harm others in the future."

Such beasts, simply harmful to society, if such people aren’t brought to justice, how can this place ever be clean in the future?

Little did Dagou know, the hand holding the gun was struck hard by a stone coming from some direction, he winced in pain, the gun fell to the ground, and his body also staggered back several steps.

The police officers immediately stepped forward to stop the opponent from moving.

Seeing Dagou being captured, the other minions also became unsettled, appearing ready to confront the police officers.

Ye Fei waved his hand backward, and a dozen fully armed officers rushed in, glaring at them with a look that promised immediate justice should they dare to cause any trouble.

"Everyone, hands on your heads and squat down," Ye Fei shouted loudly.

Usually, these thugs are quite fierce, but at this moment, they indeed did not dare to mess around. One by one, they held their heads and squatted in the corner without uttering a word.

Xiaofeng led Ye Fei to the storage room and from there, found a hidden door entering the daunting sewage system.

When Ye Fei saw the different skeletons inside, his face turned grim.

Xiaofeng told Ye Fei about the evidence Ye Cheng had found, as well as the evidence she discovered herself.

These pieces of evidence were sufficient to ensure they would be incarcerated for a very long time.

After informing Ye Fei about these evidences, the rest was up to the police. Xiaofeng led the female student out of the sewage system.

Old Yuan looked at Xiaofeng coming out and smiled, stepping forward and giving her a thumbs up: "You are awesome. As soon as you arrived, you nabbed them all. Impressive."

Previously, he didn’t believe the words about Xiaofeng’s family coming to protect her, but seeing the Gu Family people appear here, he was thoroughly convinced.

No wonder this girl left with those thugs without any sign of nervousness on her face; she really knew what she was doing.

Yuan Junkai had just learned of Xiaofeng’s identity, his mouth open as wide as an egg: "Xiaofeng, are you really that incredible? You’re the wife of the Gu family’s young master, heavens, to think I was beside such a VIP all this time, and I only just realized, I really am..."

Lost for words.

"What impressive or not, no matter what my status is, I know to abide by the law. Unlike these people, who truly think they have some incredible backers and can do whatever they want."

"These aren’t humans; they’re a bunch of animals." The female student recalled the treatment she endured here, thought of something, and suddenly hugged Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, it’s good that you came. If it wasn’t for you, I might really have died here."

Even if she hadn’t died here, she would definitely have been sent somewhere else to become a tool for their money-making.

Thinking about these days, she felt a chill in her heart.

The more she thought about it, the more she burst into tears: "Xiaofeng, you are the noble person in my life, my savior."

If she wasn’t lucky to encounter Xiaofeng being thrown into the sewer today, her future would have been unimaginable.

Xiaofeng hugged her back: "Alright, don’t cry, it will get better from now on."

She had initially only intended to help Ye Cheng, not expecting to actually find someone inside; it was her own luck too.

"My name is Zhou Xiaoya." Xiaoya wiped her tears clean: "I was studying in the Imperial Capital. On my way to school, I was tricked into coming here. I’ve been missing for so long, my family must be frantic."

"Let’s head back to the Imperial Capital first, and you can call your family later." Zhou Xiaoya looked very delicate, clearly the quiet type.

"Hmm, thank you."

Since Xiaoya had been bitten by ants and insects, she couldn’t go back home with Xiaofeng right away and needed to go to the hospital for treatment first.

As for the likes of Dagou, they definitely couldn’t escape being arrested. It was said that one person was missing, the one who initially pointed a gun at Xiaofeng; that person had already disappeared.

He must have sensed something wrong and vanished.

Upon returning to the Gu Family, Yan Junmei saw Xiaofeng arriving, and with an indifferent expression, looked up: "Our Gu Family isn’t poor. Going out making a scene every day, you think you bring honor to our Yecheng, don’t you?"

Overall, she found Xiaofeng more and more displeasing to the eye.

If it weren’t for her, Yecheng wouldn’t be lying in bed now.

Looking at Xiaofeng now, despite the man lying in bed, not staying in the room to attend to him, spending half of the days out of the house, was simply outrageous.
