Chapter 252: The Jiang Family Asks For Help
Feng Congqian could not resist such a peerless adorable creature acting coquettish toward him, especially since this adorable creature even called him Father!
Feng Congqian held back again and again, but ultimately could not hold back, softening his tone: “No next time.”
Nan Yuanman nodded vigorously: “Absolutely no next time!”
Feng Congqian lifted Nan Yuanman from his feet and held her in his arms, immediately smelling the indescribable odor coming from her body.
He could not help but frown: “Did your Sixth Brother take you to dig out a manure pit? Why do you smell so bad?”
Feng Jingcheng instinctively wanted to retort, but thinking of the environment in the swimming pool basement, it was not much different from a manure pit.
So his opened mouth slowly closed, and he stood to the side like a quail, not daring to make a sound.
Nan Yuanman blinked her eyes and sniffed herself: “No, do I smell very stinky?”
“Mm.” Feng Congqian held her toward the elevator: “Let’s go, Father will take you to have Auntie help you bathe. Did your Sixth Brother take you to eat?”
Nan Yuanman: “We ate, and I also went with Sixth Brother to…”
The father and daughter’s conversation gradually faded away, leaving Feng Jingcheng alone forgotten in place.
Feng Jingcheng: “…” Good grief, now that she has Father, she doesn’t want Brother anymore, huh?
In a fit of anger, he got angry for a moment, then did not dare make a sound, and slunk back to his room.
At the same time, because Zhou Baiyu had suddenly died, Xie Shuyao, as the reporter, temporarily could not leave the police station.
She had just finished negotiating with the police and making her statement. As soon as she left the interrogation room, she saw a middle-aged woman decked out in gold and silver storming toward her aggressively, raising her hand to slap her face.
Xie Shuyao instinctively raised her hand to grab the middle-aged woman’s hand, and upon seeing her face, she was stunned: “Auntie?”
The person who came was precisely Zhou Baiyu’s mother, Lu Yulan.
“Don’t call me that! You bitch! How exactly did our Baiyu let you down! You had to report him to the police and get him killed!” Lu Yulan’s eyes were bloodshot as she roared at Xie Shuyao.
Xie Shuyao’s face suddenly turned cold. She flung Lu Yulan’s hand away and stared at her, speaking word by word: “Auntie, get this straight—it wasn’t me who killed Zhou Baiyu; he brought it on himself!”
“He did so many bad things, killed so many, hurt so many children and cats and dogs. His death was well-deserved! It has nothing to do with me!”
Xie Shuyao lifted her chin: “Auntie, if you think I killed Zhou Baiyu, go tell the police and report me to have them arrest me!”
Lu Yulan: “You!”
“Just a small Xie family, yet such a big mouth!” A low, hoarse male voice rang out. A short, skinny man in a suit walked in, followed by several other men also in suits.
“Husband!” The moment Lu Yulan saw the man, tears instantly fell. She turned and threw herself into his arms: “Our son, our son… is gone!”
Zhou Xingyan gently patted her shoulder, his gaze fixed tightly on Xie Shuyao: “Regardless of whether you are related to my son’s death, just for the fact that you reported him to the police and had them arrest my son, the feud between the Zhou family and the Xie family is set!”
Xie Shuyao was not afraid in the slightest. She sneered: “If it’s set, then it’s set. Do you still think I’m afraid of you?”
“Yes, my Xie family is just a small Xie family, your Zhou family is so powerful—so how come you haven’t become Shangjing’s number one family? Is it because you don’t want to?”
Zhou Xingyan’s face darkened: “Sharp-tongued!”
Xie Shuyao smiled: “Thank you for the compliment.”
“By the way, you got one thing wrong just now. It’s not the Zhou family and Xie family having a feud—it’s the Xie family and Zhou family, and this feud is set! For Zhou Baiyu toying with my emotions, for his abusing and killing cats, dogs, and children, my Xie family will seek justice from your Zhou family for those innocent lives!”
“Just wait and see whether your Zhou family falls first or my Xie family falls first!”
With that, Xie Shuyao disdained to exchange further words with the Zhou family people, turned around, and strode away in her high-heeled shoes.
Lu Yulan glared hatefully at her back, wishing she could rush up and tear her face to shreds. She looked up at Zhou Xingyan: “Husband, what do we do now?”
“What do we do? We can only go ask Old Ancestor for help.” Zhou Xingyan also felt a deep headache. He knew this son of his did not walk the righteous path, and he had even been happy when his master selected him precisely because he did not walk the righteous path. But now that Zhou Baiyu was dead and left him such a mess, he was no longer happy.
Lu Yulan was unwilling: “We’re just going to let the Xie family off like this? And the Feng family…”
“Of course not.” Zhou Xingyan’s eyes darkened: “I will go request Master to take action and make them pay the price they owe!”
No one could harm Zhou family members and still remain unscathed. If they dared to hurt Zhou family members, they must bear the Zhou family’s wrath!
Even Shangjing’s number one Feng family was the same!-
The next day.
Nan Yuanman slept soundly, got up to wash up and eat, then carried her small hoe to the back garden to check on her vegetable patch.
After checking the vegetable patch, Nan Yuanman thought for a moment and sent Xie Shuyao a message, asking about the conditions of those several brothers and sisters.
Xie Shuyao’s message came back quickly: [The comatose boy has escaped danger. That little boy who was lying down has twisted limbs; the corrective surgery is not easy to do.
As for the two girls, one had her tongue cut and cannot speak, and one had her cornea corroded by chemical liquid. She needs a suitable cornea to have a chance to see again.]
Xie Shuyao did not brush Nan Yuanman off just because she was a child; she very seriously told her about the four children’s conditions.
Besides these four children, she also told her about the situations of the cats and dogs she had rescued.
The injuries to the cats and dogs were more severe than those of the four children—mostly missing limbs or legs. Even if not missing limbs or legs, their tails and ears were gone. The worst were the complications on their bodies; Xie Shuyao did not know how many could be saved.
Nan Yuanman knew few characters yet; she smartly used AI readout to help her understand the content of Xie Shuyao’s messages.
After listening, her chest felt a little stuffy.
Xie Shuyao sent another message: [By the way, Yuanman, that calico cat you rescued is doing pretty well, in good spirits, just keeps crying to run outside—probably wants to find you. Do you want to adopt it?]
Nan Yuanman opened voice message: “Sure, sure. Sister Xie, can you send it to me here.”
Besides this little calico, there was also a little white cat she had picked up at the family reunion banquet last time.
The little white cat was still being treated; Uncle Su would send it to the villa once it was cured. Then they would not lack playmates.
After hearing Nan Yuanman’s voice message, Xie Shuyao thought for a moment and hesitantly sent a message: [Yuanman, Sister Xie wants to ask you for another favor. Can you… help me find Tuan Tuan’s corpse?]
She did not know if Tuan Tuan would forgive her, but she wanted to bring Tuan Tuan home and did not want Tuan Tuan to stay in Zhou Baiyu’s villa.
It was too dirty.
Nan Yuanman: “Sure.”
Nan Yuanman had Xie Shuyao provide the Eight Characters and the date she picked up Tuan Tuan, then had her test a character. After divining, she opened voice message:
“Sister, when you return to the big bad guy’s home, go southeast, toward higher ground slightly south, to the place with wood, and you can find Tuan Tuan’s corpse.”
Xie Shuyao: [Okay! Thank you, Yuanman!]
[System]: Xie Shuyao transferred 500000 yuan to you
[System]: Xie Shuyao transferred 500000 yuan to you
[…]
Nan Yuanman accepted Xie Shuyao’s transfers and was about to transfer half to Feng Congqian for him to use on good deeds when her watch suddenly vibrated and popped up a call screen.
Nan Yuanman accidentally answered the call.
Before she could speak, Jiang Lixuan’s voice came from the other end, laced with alarm: “Yuanman, save me!”
