CHAPTER 474: CHAPTER 474:

Jiang Moxi couldn’t be bothered to chase after Zhuang Wenjin, since he looked too timid to cause any serious trouble.

Just as Zhuang Wenjin had left, the orchard manager arrived, hearing the noise and rushing over with some farmers.

Each farmer held a hoe or an axe, scaring these sturdy men till their legs went weak.

"Miss Xi, are you alright?"

"I’m fine." Jiang Moxi tossed away the peach pit and continued to inspect the peaches on the tree without any sign of unhappiness.

The orchard manager sighed in relief, "That’s good. If you’d like some peaches, I’ve already selected the ripest ones for you, please come with me."

Jiang Moxi nodded, then seemed to recall something, glancing at the people on the ground who were still groaning.

The orchard manager seemed to understand Jiang Moxi’s concerns and told her, "You don’t need to worry about them. I’ve already reported this to the master, and he’ll be coming soon to handle it."

As a distinguished young lady of the Feng Family, Jiang Moxi’s safety was of utmost concern, so the orchard manager didn’t dare to delay.

Therefore, upon hearing the commotion earlier, he had immediately contacted Feng Yu.

The orchard manager led Jiang Moxi to a small pavilion where she started eating peaches and freshly baked biscuits. Soon after, Feng Yu arrived.

The muscular men were all tied up, each of them wailing miserably.

Feng Yu didn’t even look at them and went straight to see Jiang Moxi.

"Are you injured?" As Feng Yu spoke, his wicked eyes examined Jiang Moxi closely, as if afraid of missing any detail.

"They’re just bodyguard level, they couldn’t hurt me," Jiang Moxi said.

Seeing that Jiang Moxi wasn’t rejecting him outright, Feng Yu sat down on a stone chair opposite her, "Do you know who sent them?"

"They refuse to tell," said Jiang Moxi, enjoying the delicious biscuits. She was in a good enough mood, so she didn’t mind sharing the pavilion with Feng Yu.

Feng Yu, sensing a slight lessen in hostility from Jiang Moxi, couldn’t help but curve his lips lightly.

At that moment, the orchard manager approached Feng Yu to inquire what to do with the captured men who refused to reveal their master.

Feng Yu thought for a moment: "Send them to the crematorium."

The orchard manager, as if accustomed to Feng Yu’s method of handling things, quickly began instructing the farmers to move the bodies.

But Jiang Moxi couldn’t help but interject, "There’s no need to be so ruthless!"

It would suffice just to find out who was really behind this.

But Feng Yu coldly smirked: "Anyone intending to harm you, I won’t let them live in this world."

Jiang Moxi asked Feng Yu, "So, you’re collaborating with Wang Yao to investigate the explosion that happened years ago?"

Feng Yu’s gaze faltered slightly; he hadn’t expected Jiang Moxi to see through his intentions so quickly.

"He was part of that organization back then, he must know the inside story," Feng Yu confessed, not accustomed to hiding things from Jiang Moxi.

"There’s no need. If there’s investigating to be done, it should be me, not you," Jiang Moxi’s tone shifted slightly.

That explosion years ago had taken the lives of many of her comrades, and Jiang Moxi hadn’t let go of it yet.

Now that Feng Ming had woken up and safely returned to the Feng Family, Jiang Moxi was also starting to plan her own investigation into the matter.

But she knew the investigation was fraught with danger and didn’t want Feng Yu involved.

"Xixi, don’t be so wary of me. Even if I really wanted Feng Ming’s life, I wouldn’t do it at your expense. You should know that in my eyes, your life is even more important than mine! I myself can’t bear to hurt you, how could I possibly let others do such a thing?"

Jiang Moxi looked into Feng Yu’s crimson eyes, unsure what to say.

Feng Yu’s kindness to her was even greater than Feng Ming’s.

That kind of obsessive affection made almost everyone envious.

Jiang Moxi was also well aware of Feng Yu’s kindness towards her, and she had always regarded him as another brother like Feng Ming.

During that explosion, Jiang Moxi once thought it was orchestrated by him to take Feng Ming’s life and gain control of the entire Feng Family.

But now that Feng Yu has taken the initiative to investigate this matter and even contacted Wang Yao for it, it proves that he wasn’t behind the plan.

After a long while, Jiang Moxi finally spoke to Feng Yu.

"What about Wei Su, have you looked into her? Brother Ming once mentioned that Wei Su admitted to leaking our whereabouts."

"I’ve investigated. It was indeed Wei Su who leaked your whereabouts, but someone disguised their number as mine to give her the orders, which she then transmitted."

"So you think Wei Su is innocent?" Jiang Moxi’s expression suddenly grew much colder.

Feng Yu explained, "I didn’t say she was innocent, once everything is settled, I will hand her over to you."

At this point in the conversation, Yu Dingding appeared, followed by Ye Chen, who was persistently tagging along.

Ye Chen, being quite articulate, greeted Feng Yu and Jiang Moxi, then immediately began eating some fruit and quietly sent a message to Fu Youhan.

"Brother Han, Brother Han, Xiao Moxi is having tea with another guy, can you really tolerate this?"

Fu Youhan hadn’t responded yet, and Yu Dingding had already greeted Jiang Moxi and Feng Yu one by one.

"Mr. Feng, hello."

As an Emperor City person herself, Yu Dingding had naturally heard about the madcap Feng Yu and his obsession with Miss Xi of the Feng Family.

Yet Yu Dingding had never imagined that she would one day be sitting in an orchard with these notorious figures, eating fruit together.

Hmm, Yu Dingding suddenly felt a chill around her neck, truly worried that she might accidentally get her head taken off by Feng Yu.

But unexpectedly, the madcap Feng Yu was quite enthusiastic.

"Hello, Miss Yu. You’re Xixi’s friend, if there’s anything you need help with, feel free to speak up."

Feng Yu knew that Yu Dingding and Jiang Moxi were close, so he was slightly warmer towards her.

But Yu Dingding wouldn’t dare trouble this madcap, hastily saying, "Thank you, Mr. Feng, no need, I’m currently living quite comfortably, there’s nothing I need."

"I heard you have a grudge with Qin Shuang? How about I have someone go to prison and cut off her tongue for you? That way she can never come in front of you and chirp again?"

Ye Chen was annoyed at Feng Yu, the madcap, meddling in his affairs with Yu Dingding, so he quietly sent another message to Fu Youhan: "Brother Han, your rival is about to steal my corner, are you sure you’re not going to handle this?"

Then Ye Chen directly sent Fu Youhan his location, asking him to come and sort out the situation as soon as possible.

On Yu Dingding’s end, Feng Yu was so eager to help her cut off Qin Shuang’s tongue in prison, she really didn’t know how to handle it.

Yu Dingding could only look towards Jiang Moxi for help, as if pleading.

Jiang Moxi, catching Yu Dingding’s eye, picked up a peach and threw it at Feng Yu: "Enough! You’re going to scare her."

The madcap Feng Yu calmed down and started eating the peach he caught.

Yu Dingding, having witnessed this whole thing, couldn’t help but give Jiang Moxi a thumbs up quietly. Jiang Moxi directly threw a grape into her mouth to shut her up.

Afterwards, Jiang Moxi and Yu Dingding continued to eat fruit and chat.

Yu Dingding even started discussing her new designs with Jiang Moxi.

However, while they were talking, Fu Youhan suddenly appeared before them...
