In Villa No. 9 at Brocade Manor, Qingyue walked down from the second floor and saw Xiao Feng sitting on the sofa. She spoke with a bit of a grim expression: "In a couple of days, will you come home with me?"

Xiao Feng nodded and agreed cheerfully, "Sure."

"You're... not even a bit surprised?" Qingyue sat down, unable to help but ask, "Didn't you already know the family would invite you over?"

"You could say that," Xiao Feng explained, "If I hadn't gotten out of the police station, there would be no such thing. But now not only have I come out unscathed, I also have a sort of official status, naturally they can't sit still."

Qingyue was smart and immediately understood that the family must think Xiao Feng has a background, so they want to probe or establish connections.

Otherwise, why not send the invitation right after the wedding, but instead choose the time after Xiao Feng's release from the police station?

Thinking of this, Qingyue felt another wave of discomfort. This profit-driven behavior of the Du Family made her unspeakably disgusted.

After a moment, Qingyue half-jokingly asked, "You don't actually have some strong background, do you?"

Xiao Feng thought for a moment and replied, "I don't; my disciple helped with this matter."

"You have a disciple?" Qingyue was a bit surprised. She hadn't expected Xiao Feng to tell her anything but was surprised when he shared such an interesting piece of information.

"Is it strange?" Xiao Feng countered, "With someone as outstanding as me, it's only natural that someone would want to apprentice themselves, right?"

"Stop boasting!" Qingyue laughed in exasperation, then collected herself: "I won't tell anyone about this, you can rest assured."

Xiao Feng chuckled, "It doesn't matter if it's kept secret or not, even if the Du Family doesn't know now, they'll find out eventually."

Qingyue's expression turned cold: "So, what you told me is actually something everyone else can know?"

Saying that, Qingyue startled herself—she wasn't normally a gossiping person, but at this moment she really wanted to know things about Xiao Feng that others didn't.

Seeing Xiao Feng not respond, Qingyue cleared her mind and asked seriously, "After we go to the Du Family, if they ask about your background, what are you planning to do?"

"I'll play it by ear, of course," Xiao Feng replied without hesitation, "Anyway, now your family has preconceived notions that I have some background, so whatever I do next, they'll analyze it based on that perspective."

For Xiao Feng, this truly wasn't a big deal; if the Du Family treated him courteously, Xiao Feng would naturally respond with a smile.

But if the Du Family tried to cause trouble... this possibility seemed unlikely because Du Qingyun had already subjectively believed there's an oddness about him.

Taking it to the ultimate limit, even if a conflict really arose, what could it do?

After chatting for a bit more, Qingyue went upstairs to rest, while Xiao Feng returned to his room to sleep.

The next morning, Xiao Feng entered Song Keren's office and slapped a receipt on the desk, "Pay up!"

Keren was stunned at that moment, how could someone want money right upon meeting?

But seeing the receipt on the table, she couldn't help but laugh, "How big is Jiangcheng really? A hundred yuan for car fare, are you living in the suburbs?"

"Also, did you know yesterday we were getting off work, but because of the person you brought, we worked overtime till midnight."

Xiao Feng was baffled, "Isn't that a police duty? Besides, it's attempted murder; if you solve the case, it's an achievement."

Keren was momentarily speechless, just feeling that Xiao Feng's personality was perfectly suited for a sting operation. Just with this way of speaking, the line of people wanting to hit him would stretch for miles.

After a pause, Xiao Feng stopped joking and asked seriously, "Did you find any problems during the interrogation of the person caught yesterday?"

Keren shook her head, "No, but I noticed one thing; when Miao Youmin saw that person, his expression was noticeably a bit unusual."

Mentioning Miao Youmin, Xiao Feng felt somewhat certain that this person was likely sent by Shen Tianze.

Xiao Feng couldn't swallow this insult, so he thought for a moment and said, "Send me seven or eight people this evening."

"What do you want to do?" Keren asked warily.

"Form a anti-prostitution squad and follow me for a surprise crackdown," Xiao Feng said seriously, not looking like he was joking at all.

Xiao Feng's idea was simple: ignore all other venues, exclusively target the clubs and bars under the Shen Group.

Previously, he didn't have this opportunity, but now he would rather exert more effort to make life difficult for the Shen Group.

It's well known that bars and entertainment clubs are highly profitable industries, to hold this lifeline, in a short amount of time it may seem insignificant, but Xiao Feng was sure that within a month, the Shen Group wouldn't be able to sit idle anymore.

At this moment, Shi Jiaxin entered the room wearing a white coat, her eyes lighting up upon seeing Xiao Feng, "Here so early?"

"Paying tuition for disciples obviously means coming early," Xiao Feng patted Shi Jiaxin's shoulder, chuckling, "Don't worry, the money won't be wasted on you, I'll strive to train you in three years."

"Three years?!" Keren widened her eyes, "I think it's just a ploy to earn more money, eh?"

Despite saying that, after contemplating, Keren suddenly said, "What if I pay, to have you teach me hand-to-hand combat..."

Before she finished speaking, Xiao Feng decisively said, "I have principles in accepting disciples and definitely won't accept those who burn bridges; such individuals with questionable integrity might betray the school after learning."

Keren was fuming, her face turning crimson, taking a moment to calm herself, "Ten thousand a month!"

Xiao Feng promptly forgot his earlier words and countered with a price increase, "Eleven thousand."

"Alright, eleven thousand it is!" Keren nodded to agree, although she couldn't leverage influence, money was something she didn't lack.

"Wait a moment!" Xiao Feng raised his hand to stop, "What did you just say?"

Keren was a bit dazed, "I said, eleven thousand it is."

"Not that sentence, the previous one," Xiao Feng urged.

Keren thought for a while, uncertainly said, "I offered ten thousand?"

"Fifteen thousand!" Xiao Feng immediately raised the price, then added, "No bargaining!"

"..." Keren and Shi Jiaxin stared at each other, dumbfounded—is there really a way to raise the price from sitting tight?

For a while, both women felt their eyes were opened wide.

Finally, Keren successfully secured Xiao Feng as her coach for close combat, at a price of fifteen thousand per month.

Little did she know, Keren hadn't been able to sleep half the night yesterday, every time she closed her eyes, she pictured Xiao Feng wrapping his arms around Shi Jiaxin from behind.

The more she thought, the less she could sleep, the less she slept, the more she thought, as if entering a vicious cycle.

Thus, Director Song was furious, resolved to figure out why she felt so conflicted.

Conveniently, since Xiao Feng had good skills, Keren also wanted to seize this opportunity to see if she could elevate her hand-to-hand combat capability to another level!
