......

After Zhao Feng married several more wives, his first wife became pregnant, and she was carrying Zhao Shaolin.

From that day on, Zhao Feng's good days came to an end, and he returned to the life where his wife was his heaven and his wife was his earth.

He couldn't bear it, he didn't want to live his entire life under his wife's control, nor did he want to live forever in Yu Xiao's shadow!!!

Therefore, he wanted to connect with Shen Qixue, even if it cost him a huge price, he was willing!!!

After hearing Zhao Feng's introduction, Shen Qixue slowly nodded and said with indifferent tone:

"Not bad."

Zhao Feng felt excited and was just about to say something when Shen Qixue looked at Chen Yan: "But the development ceiling is visible at a glance. Staying here is a waste of your time. You'd be better off joining the Path of Dry Bones."

"Become a 749 Bureau investigator."

"At least the ceiling is much higher than being a mine district administrator here."

Shen Qixue appreciated Chen Yan, but it was only appreciation without romantic feelings. Plus, there was gratitude between them, so she felt that finding such talent in this small place was truly remarkable.

If Chen Yan had a better environment and broader horizons, he would certainly not remain an ordinary person in the future.

Therefore, she had repeatedly extended olive branches to Chen Yan, wanting him to join the Path of Dry Bones 749.

However, Chen Yan didn't seem very interested. As for the reason, Shen Qixue didn't know, but she kept trying to persuade him.

Listening to Shen Qixue's words.

Chen Yan originally intended to refuse as usual.

But before he could speak, Shen Qixue's cool voice came again: "Last time you said that because you wanted to seek justice for your deceased father, you killed the previous Iron Stone Cave Mine Owner and his son, and asked me if someone with a criminal record could still join the 749 Bureau."

"At that time I hesitated to answer because I didn't know the specific circumstances."

"Later I went back and conducted a rough investigation. I think this wasn't your fault. As a son, seeking justice for your father is perfectly normal."

It really was just rough - Shen Qixue hadn't even investigated seriously.

She had only briefly glanced at the file information that Chen Yan had paid to compile.

Although the file was full of holes and extremely perfunctory.

But with her preconceived notions, she truly didn't doubt her savior.

Zhao Feng also chimed in from the side: "Chen Yan, I think Investigator Shen is absolutely right."

"Xiankong Town is too small to contain a true dragon like you. You could have much better development."

Although Shen Qixue's move was essentially poaching his person.

But it didn't matter.

As the ruler of a family, Zhao Feng never lacked the mentality of 'giving up to gain'.

He believed he had treated Chen Yan well enough.

There were no unresolved grievances between them either.

He had also witnessed Chen Yan's talent.

If Chen Yan could join the Path of Dry Bones 749, it meant he could transform their relationship from superior-subordinate to official-business.

When Chen Yan eventually joined the Path of Dry Bones 749, if he invested and gave him a push, it would certainly bring substantial returns.

To make something of himself, he had even married Yu Xiao's sister - what wouldn't he do?

Successful people never lack foresight.

With both of them persuading him now.

Chen Yan didn't know how to refuse for a moment.

Excuses flashed through his mind one after another.

Chen Yan showed a helpless expression: "Investigator Shen, why are you so determined to invite me to join the Path of Dry Bones 749?"

Just as Shen Qixue was about to answer.

Zhao Feng's phone ringtone suddenly sounded beside them!!!

He answered the call: "What? She was captured by Yu Xiao and taken to the Xiankong Town 749 office!?"

Zhao Feng put down his phone, his face anxious as he said: "My apologies, Investigator Shen, Brother Chen Yan. My brother-in-law has captured my wife and taken her to the Xiankong Town 749 office. I need to go check the situation immediately."

"Let's continue our conversation another day."

Although the connection with Shen Qixue was important to him.

That was all for the future.

Right now, he was still nothing in front of Yu Xiao.

If he didn't react appropriately according to the current situation and his persona collapsed, wouldn't everything be over?

So he needed to get to Xiankong Town 749 quickly.

When Chen Yan heard this, he saw the perfect opportunity to delay.

He quickly chimed in: "Let's go together, President Zhao. I actually have some acquaintance with Family Head Yu and have spoken with him before. If I can be of help when we get there, I'll be glad to assist."

Shen Qixue didn't know what to say.

She could only follow along:

"I'll come too."

Beneath his anxious expression, Zhao Feng hid a smile.

If Shen Qixue could come along.

Wouldn't he be able to subtly show that his relationship with Investigator Shen was unusual, thereby attracting Yu Xiao's attention?

Although this had no practical use.

It would make Zhao Feng look good!!!

It would make Yu Xiao think more highly of him.

This was true vindication!

After all, someone of Shen Qixue's caliber - a talented figure of extraordinary background - wasn't someone ordinary people could befriend.

Zhao Feng clasped his hands: "Zhao Feng thanks Brother Chen and Investigator Shen in advance."

After speaking, the three of them headed directly toward the direction of the Xiankong Town 749 office.

....

Meanwhile.

At the entrance of the Xiankong Town 749 office.

The beautiful woman kneeling in the center was kicked and sent sprawling to the ground.

Yu Xiao said in an unfriendly tone: "If you don't kneel properly again, I'll break your legs."

Yu Qing lay on the ground, unable to believe her current situation.

Her brother who had always doted on her so much in the past had not only forcibly abducted her here and made her kneel in front of many people.

He had actually kicked her, using such heavy force.

Feeling wronged, Yu Qing loudly vented her emotions: "Brother!!!!"

"What exactly did I do wrong!!!"

In the past, whenever Yu Qing got angry, he would definitely comfort her, but today...

Yu Xiao's eyes widened slightly, making him appear even more fierce: "I don't have a sister like you. From the moment you shielded your son Zhao Shaolin when he treated human life as worthless in Xiankong Town, you ceased to be my sister!!!"

Yu Qing froze in place.

"What did you say?"

Shielding Zhao Shaolin when he treated human life as worthless?

She found this excuse too ridiculous and instinctively asked: "Shaolin is your nephew, haven't you also shielded..."

Slap!!!!

Yu Xiao backhanded her, directly breaking Yu Qing's face: "Shut up! Indulgent mothers raise worthless sons! You poisonous woman, you're no good either! At a time like this, you still dare to make excuses!!!"

This slap left Yu Qing not just in pain, but mostly in stunned disbelief.

That exquisite profile that time had left untouched was now gushing with fresh blood.

The woman touched her cheek, looking at the blood on her hand.

She finally understood in her heart that the brother who had once doted on her... had changed.

Clap, clap, clap...

Slow, measured applause suddenly sounded.

"Family Head Yu, what kind of grand performance are you putting on this time?"
