The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 254: Disappointed Little Girl


The atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became awkward, but this awkwardness didn't last long.

Xiao Feng spoke up and broke the silence, "Devil's Concentration Camp wanted you to get close to me, gain my trust, and then?"

"Didn't say." Du Linlang shook her head, saying, "The person only told me to accomplish these two points first. If there's further arrangement, they'd contact me."

Xiao Feng rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "So, your way to gain my trust is to tell me the truth?"

"The more lies, the easier it is to show flaws, isn't it?" Du Linlang admitted frankly, "I don't want you to think there's not a single truth coming out of my mouth, because suspicion can be deadly sometimes, and also..."

"Also what?" Xiao Feng pressed on.

"And also, I have a hunch that the person doesn't quite mind me telling you this." Du Linlang frowned slightly, "Of course, this is just my feeling, there's nothing to substantiate it."

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment, couldn't resist asking, "You don't seem to take this matter seriously? You should have investigated Devil's Concentration Camp; killing for them is no harder than eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom."

"I'm just a weak woman, obviously I would feel scared, but since trouble has found me, what's the use of complaining?"

Du Linlang laughed freely, "It doesn't matter when you die. What's important is that you're still alive, and being alive, there's no reason not to be happy, right?"

For Du Linlang's cheerful mindset, Xiao Feng truly admired her. Not to mention a woman, even a tough guy in such a situation would probably be depressed for a while.

But Du Linlang quickly adjusted her mindset, responding with a relaxed attitude, it's truly commendable!

"Speaking of business, what do you plan to do next?" Xiao Feng asked seriously.

Du Linlang immediately turned the question back, "That's your job to figure out, they're targeting you, not me."

"Makes sense." Xiao Feng nodded, then got up to leave.

Du Linlang followed him up, "You haven't told me what to do next?"

"Devil's Concentration Camp gave the task to you, not me, it's your job to figure it out." Xiao Feng retorted back, using the same strategy.

"..." Du Linlang was completely at a loss for words, being with this man, she never had the upper hand, always being pressed down.

Wait a minute!

How come these words seem ambiguous?

"Anyway, we're allies in the same trench now, are you really not going to help me?" Du Linlang blinked her eyes, looking pitiful.

This was what made her different from Du Qingyue, able to be as tough as steel, but also as tender as sheep, her attitude shifting quickly yet not abruptly.

"Whether we are allies is yet to be seen, but I don't believe you have no ideas." Xiao Feng said lightly, as if he was sure Du Linlang had thought of a plan.

"I have ideas, but you may not cooperate." Du Linlang smiled, stood up, stepped forward, and brought her lips close to Xiao Feng's ear, softly saying, "Tonight at eight o'clock, Houshiden Hotel, room 302, I'll wait for you."

As she spoke, she slipped a card into Xiao Feng's pocket and then turned away without lingering, leaving a rather graceful figure.

Xiao Feng stood still, his head a bit dizzy, thinking, is this really happening?

To go, or not to go, that's the question...

But before Xiao Feng could think it through, the little girl stormed over to him, then, like demanding an explanation, reached out her hand and said, "Hand it over."

"Hand over what?" Xiao Feng instinctively responded.

"Brother Xiao Feng, do you think I grew these eyes for nothing?" The little girl put her hands on her hips, spoke angrily, "I saw it all, that vixen just stuffed a card into your pocket, are you going to tell me it's a bank card?"

"Maybe, perhaps, maybe... it really is a bank card?" Xiao Feng said somewhat guiltily.

The little girl was suddenly infuriated, "Then show me that card."

"Are you sure you want to see it?"

"I'm sure!"

"Okay, then take a look." Xiao Feng pulled out the card and handed it over; it turned out to be a bank card.

The little girl couldn't help but widen her eyes, then rubbed them strongly, "Impossible!"

In fact, the little girl is indeed naive and innocent, but to truly believe the card Du Linlang handed to Xiao Feng is a bank card is not naivety, it's foolishness.

So, the truth is only one: Xiao Feng exchanged the card quickly.

Others might not do it, but Xiao Feng definitely can, the little girl was absolutely sure of this point.

Understanding this put a disappointment in the little girl's eyes, "Alright, Brother Xiao Feng, go ahead and lie to me. From now on, you do whatever you want, and I'll mind my own business, okay!"

After speaking, she turned and walked towards the elevator at the end of the corridor, her figure seemed to say: I am very disappointed in you, and I'm very angry, nothing can cheer me up!

Looking at the little girl's departing figure, Xiao Feng felt a bit bad inside, but there was no solution. The Devil's Concentration Camp matter could eventually let the little girl know, but not now.

After securing the room card and bank card, Xiao Feng walked into the hospital room, the Du Family members all stood up. Their demeanor was completely unlike elders for juniors, instead like grassroots employees for their leaders, extremely cautious.

"Are the things packed?" Xiao Feng walked straight to Du Qingyue and asked with a smile.

"There is nothing much to pack for me, just those supplements Wang Lubo brought over are a bit tricky to handle." Du Qingyue looked back at the supplements piled like a warehouse, full of well-known brands, her tone filled with helplessness.

Throwing these things feels a bit wasteful, but keeping them serves no purpose, just waiting for them to expire, somewhat tricky.

Xiao Feng said nonchalantly, "No worries, keep them, use them as giveaways on opening day, or hold a raffle event or something."

"No one's giving these at a new store opening, we're not opening a health store." Du Qingyue frowned slightly, obviously disagreeing with Xiao Feng's suggestion.

"Relax, I have a way to deal with them." Xiao Feng replied confidently with a smile.

After hearing Xiao Feng say this, Du Qingyue didn't argue further.

However, at this time, relatives from all over came over, approaching the pile of branded supplements, taking them out like shopping in a mall.

"This brand of bird's nest is nice, I use it often, not only beautifying, but also quite tasteful." A luxuriously dressed woman commented.
