Martial Arts Master in the City

Chapter 973: Something Very Important


"You just called me Mr. Ye." Ye Xiao smiled mischievously.

"Do you really deserve such a respectful title?" Feng Jiao was furious at this moment. That guy had been staring at her chest all along, and from the looks of it, he was doing some research.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "Alright, what did you just say?"

Feng Jiao was steaming mad, and her anger further illustrated to Ye Xiao the meaning of 'peaks and valleys,' drawing his irresistibly attention.

"Lewd!" Feng Jiao gritted her teeth, glaring at Ye Xiao. The word almost squeezed out of the gaps between her teeth.

Ye Xiao seemed indifferent to Feng Jiao's anger and suddenly said seriously, "You better talk about the second matter. I can't talk about the first one as it involves some people's privacy. As a person representing justice and light, it's really difficult for me to disclose others' privacy."

Justice and light?

Feng Jiao was sweating. Couldn't this guy restrain from abusing such words?

"Well then, there's nothing more to say." Feng Jiao said, preparing to leave.

"Hey!" Ye Xiao saw Feng Jiao was about to leave and immediately said, "Sometimes not knowing certain things can be more advantageous than knowing them. It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you."

Feng Jiao paused, looked at Ye Xiao, and said, "Could it be that the Jinling District Guard Bureau has some unspeakable secrets?"

"What you don't know isn't necessarily nonexistent." Ye Xiao said, "So, if I were you, I'd definitely ask about the second matter. Although I can't answer the first one, that doesn't mean I can't answer the second one too."

Feng Jiao looked at Ye Xiao, thinking that what he said wasn't entirely unreasonable, and then said, "What I'm about to say next, you must promise not to tell anyone."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao looked at Feng Jiao's serious face, seemingly indicating it was a very significant matter, and immediately said, "You can rest assured, I can betray my enemies but would never betray the women I like."

Feng Jiao, hearing Ye Xiao's words, was incredulous and then glared at him, saying, "Ye Xiao, don't speak frivolously, it only makes me dislike you."

"Frivolous words?" Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Liking is just liking; I don't like pretending."

Feng Jiao was moved by Ye Xiao's words, not because she thought he was a good person, but because she felt that at least Ye Xiao wasn't a hypocrite.

Therefore, she stopped responding to Ye Xiao's words and said seriously, "My father was once a police officer."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao smiled, "Looks like your family has a tradition in law enforcement."

"My father used to be the chief of the Criminal Police Team in Jinling District, but later died in the line of duty." Feng Jiao said.

Ye Xiao, upon hearing this, immediately turned serious and said, "Your father was a dedicated policeman."

"No, I used to think the same, but recently I feel that's not quite the case." Feng Jiao said.

Ye Xiao immediately asked curiously, "Why would you think that? Do you suspect your father was like Chen Jianguo?"

Feng Jiao looked up at the sky and said, "I hope not, but recently I found an old notebook at home with several names in it, and even the name of a society."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao was a bit puzzled. Why would a police officer record the name of a society? Was it for some investigation?

Ye Xiao said, "What society?"

"Four Seas Society!" Feng Jiao said.

Ye Xiao said, "Not just in Jinling District, but there's no Four Seas Society throughout Bird City."

"It existed!" Feng Jiao said, "Four Seas Society was once the largest society in Bird City. Back then, my father was the chief of the Criminal Police Team and frequently carried out anti-crime operations."

"Are you saying your father might have been killed because of his anti-crime activities?" Ye Xiao asked.

Feng Jiao said, "No, my father might have been a member of Four Seas Society because the last page of the notebook contained a short sentence."

"What sentence?"

"'Is the Four Seas Society really going to run into chaos? What should I do?' This is the sentence written in the notebook." Feng Jiao said.

"This sentence shows the person who wrote it was worried about the chaos in Four Seas Society and even more about their own future." Ye Xiao said.

Feng Jiao nodded and said, "I think the same, but this notebook appeared among my father's relics. I suspect my mother knows about it, but I didn't dare to ask."

Ye Xiao looked at Feng Jiao and seriously asked, "Do you want me to help you investigate?"

"I know there are many things I can't investigate, but you might be able to find out, so..." Feng Jiao sighed.

"Since you trust me, I'll give it a try." Ye Xiao said with a smile, "I already said that I'll definitely take care of your matters."

"This matter might have extensive implications, so not a whisper can be leaked." Feng Jiao looked seriously at Ye Xiao, evidently telling him she wasn't joking; this matter was extremely important.

Ye Xiao looked at Feng Jiao's serious face, smiled slightly, and said, "You just mentioned there were some names in that notebook. Who are they? Do you know those people well?"

Feng Jiao said, "There's only one person in there I know."

"Oh?" Ye Xiao immediately asked, "Who is it?"

"Chen Jianguo!"

"Ah?" Upon hearing Feng Jiao mention 'Chen Jianguo,' Ye Xiao was momentarily taken aback, then laughed and said, "Seems like Chen Jianguo really needs a deep investigation. It looks like we can only start with Chen Jianguo, and if you have time, can you copy all the names in that notebook for me?"

"Okay." Feng Jiao replied, then looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, in any case, thank you."

"Hehe, if you promise to marry me, I'll consider accepting your thanks." Ye Xiao grinned mischievously.

Feng Jiao immediately looked speechless and glared disdainfully at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao quickly placed his hands behind his head and said, "Just joking, don't take it seriously. Even if you promised to marry me, I would pay the full dowry, as should be had, just to make sure you wouldn't be unhappy marrying me."

"Who's getting married?" Feng Jiao huffed.

Ye Xiao smiled in silence.

Feng Jiao pretended to speak seriously to Ye Xiao, "Also, I suspect Mr. Li's attack might be done by someone internally."

"Why do you think so?"

"Not sure, maybe it's just intuition." Feng Jiao said.

Ye Xiao laughed, "Women's intuition is usually quite accurate, but this doesn't seem to have much to do with you."

"How can it not? I'm a police officer!" Feng Jiao frowned.

I'm a police officer!

These four words carry a significant weight.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "You probably have business with Shanshan, so I won't hang around here like a third wheel. If you need anything, just call me."

Ye Xiao finished saying that and directly turned to leave!

Feng Jiao didn't expect Ye Xiao to leave so swiftly and gracefully.

Watching Ye Xiao leave, Feng Jiao felt a mix of amusement and frustration, wondering what type of person he really was.

Actually, Ye Xiao didn't plan to stay long today; he just wanted to check on Zheng Lingshan to see if her work had been going smoothly in recent days. Unexpectedly, he ran into Feng Jiao here, which couldn't help but make Ye Xiao feel that the world is really small.

However, as he was walking, Ye Xiao suddenly remembered something very important, so he immediately took out his phone and called Feng Jiao again.

Feng Jiao was just about to enter the sales office when she heard her phone ringing. She immediately took out her phone with some confusion, saw it was Ye Xiao's number, and thought, what's up this time? However, she still answered it.

As soon as the call connected, Feng Jiao heard Ye Xiao seriously say, "Feng... uh, can I call you Jiao Jiao? Always addressing you as Officer Feng seems a bit too distant."

"We're not close in the first place!" Feng Jiao replied coldly.

Ye Xiao said, "We weren't close before, but now we're working cooperatively. Okay, from now on I'll call you Jiao Jiao, like an elder brother calling his sister."

"What elder brother? How old are you?" Upon hearing Ye Xiao call himself an elder brother, Feng Jiao immediately retorted.

Ye Xiao said, "I'm talking about psychological age. Alright, let's not fuss over who's older or younger. I've just thought of something very important. Do you want to hear?"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Feng Jiao became very curious, thinking perhaps it's about her father's death, and she eagerly said, "Go on."

"Really want to hear?" Ye Xiao suddenly smiled slightly.

"Say it." Feng Jiao said.

Ye Xiao said, "Here's the thing. In the future, when you're not wearing your police uniform, could you wear looser clothing? Otherwise, it can be really tight, and over time, it will definitely affect the child's breast milk. Also, do you know the rate of breast hyperplasia now? And if pressed for a long time, there will inevitably be inflammation, which over time will definitely worsen. You know breast cancer, right? It's formed this way, so..."

"Get lost!" Feng Jiao isn't someone who's usually rude, but at this moment, listening to Ye Xiao's long-winded speech, she really felt like she might break down.

She originally thought Ye Xiao called about the case, but unexpectedly this guy was just concerned about her chest. What's it got to do with you how my chest is, and you even curse me with breast hyperplasia, inflammation, and breast cancer? This jerk...

Feng Jiao's shout was so loud that it startled Zheng Lingshan inside the sales office, causing her to quickly rush out.

"Jiao Jiao, what's wrong?" Zheng Lingshan looked at Feng Jiao in surprise.

Feng Jiao looked at Zheng Lingshan; how could she explain it? Did she say Ye Xiao was teasing her over the phone?

Feng Jiao calmed her emotions and finally said, "Nothing, just a spam call."
