Chapter 1592: Entry!
"Who’s feeling guilty? I’m telling the truth." Jiang Feng tried his best to act serious.
"Hmph, I’m just teasing you a bit, look at how nervous you are. Go take a shower, you smell awful~" Chu Feifei pinched her nose in mock disgust, finding an excuse to ease the awkward situation between them.
Jiang Feng kept his eyes focused inward, not saying much, and hurried to the bathroom.
Once Jiang Feng left, the atmosphere in the living room remained rather strange.
After all, Chu Feifei’s words had kind of exposed everyone’s unspoken feelings.
In the past, everyone kept quiet but understood. Now that Chu Feifei brought it out in the open, everyone felt a bit guilty.
Of course, the most embarrassed and uncomfortable was Nangong Qingcheng.
Although she knew that her close friends had feelings for Jiang Feng, she could still pretend to ignore it or deceive herself as long as it wasn’t spoken out.
But now, it’s impossible to act like she didn’t see it.
She felt a bit suffocated and uncomfortable inside...
When Jiang Feng came out after his shower, he noticed something off about the girls at home.
Although they were sitting together watching TV just like they usually did, there was no laughter or conversation.
As soon as they saw him come out, all their beautiful eyes fixed on him simultaneously.
"Cough, cough, what’s with you all?"
Jiang Feng’s mood had somewhat calmed down, but under their gazes, he felt awkward and uneasy.
The girls didn’t say a word, but Nangong Qingcheng stood up first, gave him a haunting look, and went upstairs.
Then it was Chu Feifei, Liu Shiyuan...
Even Zhang Qinyao went back to her room, and Baili Xiyue lay on the sofa with her back turned, not saying a word, avoiding eye contact.
"This..."
Jiang Feng scratched his nose, wondering what this was all about and why everyone decided to leave suddenly?
However, he wasn’t badgered with more questions, so he was happy to take a breath of relief, lying down on the ground mat to finally get some rest.
Not a word was said for the rest of the night.
The next morning, Jiang Feng had a rare lazy sleep-in.
He woke up to find no one at home!
Even Baili Xiyue, who was worse at getting out of bed than Chu Feifei, was nowhere to be seen.
He guessed the girls either went to school or work. They had often tasted the frustration of being ignored by Jiang Feng and deliberately let him experience being sidelined today.
Jiang Feng chuckled bitterly, thinking about his promise to the Demoness yesterday, and planned to visit her, but just as he got up, his phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Chen Longxiang!
Jiang Feng felt rather helpless.
"What now?" he asked impatiently.
This old guy calling so early in the morning also can’t be up to any good!
"You brat! What kind of tone is that? I’ve wasted my good intentions calling you..." Chen Longxiang ranted!
"What’s the matter?"
Jiang Feng still showed little patience, asking flatly.
"How about what we talked about last night, have you thought about it?" Fortunately, Chen Longxiang was somewhat used to Jiang Feng’s impudence and asked snorting.
"Who told you I needed time to think?" Jiang Feng grumpily replied, "I clearly explained last night I’m not interested! If you’re calling about this, we can just drop it."
"Don’t!"
Chen Longxiang hurriedly interjected.
He knew he hadn’t reached an agreement with Jiang Feng, but the team leader had personally stepped in afterward, hadn’t he?
He couldn’t proactively mention the team leader in front of Jiang Feng, only trying to indirectly probe Jiang Feng’s stance, but judging from this, it seems even the team leader didn’t succeed!
"What else?"
"Something important!"
Chen Longxiang’s tone suddenly turned much more serious: "Didn’t you ask me to notify you with the latest news? The Ninth Elder from the Netherworld Hall, Quanyang Chun, has already entered the country!"
"Where?"
"Currently, it’s the Capital City. I estimate the next step will be to come to Jiangdong to find you!"
Chen Longxiang said, "With people like them, each has their ways. Once they come to the country, it’s easy to find your past grudges with Netherworld Hall, so they’ll rapidly target you—are you prepared this time?"
Chen Longxiang was completely holding a spectator’s mentality now; since Jiang Feng insisted on not joining the Dragon Group, he wouldn’t receive its protection, so regardless of life or death, it had nothing to do with him.
He purely remained interested in Jiang Feng, so he made this call.
Jiang Feng frowned: "Keep an eye on that guy’s movements, let me know when he gets near Binhai."
His mood turned foul; it seemed today he’d be annoyed all day again. He started considering whether he should really make a trip to the Netherworld Hall and uproot them, saving trouble in the long run!
"Alright, I owe you one!"
Chen Longxiang sighed; this time he really had no choice but to hang up, he couldn’t bring up the team leader anymore.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Jiang Feng called him again: "I have a question, can you help me investigate someone?"
"Who?" Chen Longxiang’s heart skipped a beat, a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
"A woman."
Jiang Feng said flatly, "Judging by appearance, she might be considered quite pretty, but I didn’t see her face directly. She’s older than me, wore a silver mask, has a good figure, with a black cape, white inner liner, a short leather skirt, and shiny silver boots. That’s about all I remember."
After careful recollection, those were the only concrete details he noted, though it seemed like searching for a needle in a haystack, Chen Longxiang should be able to figure it out, right?
"Why do you want to investigate her?" Chen Longxiang could clearly tell Jiang Feng’s description was of his own team leader, but pretended to inquire out of curiosity.
"This woman is amusing, suddenly probing me last night, naturally I want to learn more," Jiang Feng said playfully.
"Oh? How did she probe you? What was the outcome?" Chen Longxiang asked eagerly.
"You seem quite interested?" Jiang Feng intuitively sensed something, prompting.
Chen Longxiang paused, surprised at Jiang Feng’s keen mind, yet he intentionally explained, "If you want me to investigate someone, you have to clarify it for me, otherwise, how can I help you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng didn’t think much further, casually replied: "There’s nothing unclear, she barely knew some showy moves, but I took care of her real quick, probably learned her lesson. Just follow my instructions and look her up, hanging up."
After saying so, he hung up the phone.
Leaving Chen Longxiang still clutching his phone, completely dumbfounded!
Showy but impractical...handled in one go?!!!
Is he talking about his own team leader?!!
Others might not know, but doesn’t he understand the situation?
Jiang Feng is quite the anomaly, but the team leader isn’t one to be trifled with. Isn’t she famously the Heavenly Beauty of the national Dragon Group system?
The first encounter with Jiang Feng, resulting in such an outcome... Chen Longxiang found Jiang Feng increasingly baffling!
