“Director Feng.” Gou Donghai quickly stood up, a flattering smile on his face, “The interrogation had just begun not long ago. Are you not confident in my abilities?”
“Oh, I’ve been watching the interrogation from outside this whole time, and since everything that needed to be said has been clarified, let’s leave it at that.”
Feng Yaohua glanced indifferently at Gou Donghai, then turned and smiled at Shao Zifeng, “This time we really have to thank this young man. You’ve been tossed around all night without proper rest, right? Sign this and then go have a good rest.”
Seeing Feng Yaohua’s demeanor, Gou Donghai stood there feeling somewhat unreal. What kind of move was this?
Everything has been clarified.
But they haven’t said anything at all.
Weren’t they dead set on a thorough investigation just a moment ago?
How come they’re preparing to release them now?
All sorts of thoughts emerged in Gou Donghai’s mind. Watching Feng Yaohua making small talk with Shao Zifeng, he braced himself and said, “Director Feng, even if everything about yesterday’s incident has been clarified, there’s still the lawsuit filed by Yundu Hotel.”
“Oh.” Feng Yaohua glanced at him disinterestedly, “Let’s hear it.”
Gou Donghai quickly took the lawsuit document from his secretary, “The plaintiff Liu Xihe…”
“Get to the point.” Feng Yaohua interrupted, waving his hand impatiently.
Gou Donghai opened his mouth, noticing that Feng Yaohua was getting irritated with him, but he had no choice but to proceed.
Offending Feng Yaohua could make his own life difficult for the next few years, but he was still young. If his niece could achieve good results in this qualification competition, then his path to promotion would be smooth.
Once Feng Yaohua retired in a few years, he could receive considerable help from his niece.
Quickly sorting out the costs and benefits in his mind, Gou Donghai cleared his throat, “Yundu City’s hotel’s entire glass wall fell off, covering a total area of 5,880 square meters. The opposing party demands compensation at the original price, plus lost earnings and other fees, totaling 1.41 million yuan.”

Hearing Gou Donghai’s words, Shao Zifeng was stupefied.
What glass wall, what damages?
He had no memory of this at all!
How did it become 1.41 million yuan?
I’m supposed to compensate for something I don’t even know about?
After Gou Donghai finished, Feng Yaohua looked at him calmly, his tone a mix of sarcasm and seriousness, “I didn’t know Vice Mayor Gou had also started handling lawsuit cases?”
“Director Feng… I,” Gou Donghai’s forehead began to bead with sweat.
Feng Yaohua ignored him, turning to his secretary, “Give Liu Xihe a call and inquire about the damage.”
The secretary took the phone and stepped out of the interrogation room. Feng Yaohua sat behind the interrogation table and closed his eyes to rest, creating an oppressive atmosphere in the room while Gou Donghai didn’t dare to even breathe loudly.
Not long after, the secretary walked back in with the phone, glanced at Gou Donghai, and spoke softly, “Mr. Liu said there’s no need for compensation, consider it making friends with Mr. Shao.”
Upon hearing this, Gou Donghai’s vision darkened, and he cursed Liu Xihe in his heart.
It was as if he had lost his wife and soldiers both.
…..
Shao Zifeng still felt a sense of unreality when he walked out of the Abnormal Administration Bureau.
Looking back at the solemn doors of the bureau, the events of the day flashed rapidly through his mind.
No one remembered the giant moon from yesterday, and he was mysteriously released after leveling half a mountain. Then there was the Yundu Hotel asking for compensation, and in the end, they wanted to be his friend.
Shao Zifeng groped his way in, bewildered, and stumbled out, dazed.
It was like a damn dream.
“Yo, Duke?”
The teasing voice came from not far from Shao Zifeng, where a burly man in a suit leaned against the wall of the alley, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
“Are you talking to me?” Shao Zifeng hesitated as he looked at the unfamiliar man, a whirlwind of thoughts racing through his mind.
Perhaps he had an unknown identity that he himself was not aware of.
But the nickname “Duke” was a bit too over-the-top.
Even though he felt rather cool about it somewhere deep inside, rationally, he was resistant to the idea.
“Hey.”
The burly man straightened up and walked over, “Underground power management of Yundu City, Zheng Xiong.”
“Ah… oh, I’m Shao Zifeng.” Shao Zifeng looked bewildered at the towering figure of Zheng Xiong, unsure of his intentions.
Zheng Xiong sized him up, making Shao Zifeng feel uneasy, and he quickly withdrew his hand, “I don’t know what you want with me.”
Zheng Xiong rubbed his chin with his hand, “When I first heard about you, I thought you were a worthy opponent, someone who could give me a good man-to-man duel, but look at those skinny arms and legs of yours, tsk tsk.”
As he spoke, he shook his head, conveying a “you’re not up to it” attitude.
Shao Zifeng rolled his eyes secretly, thanks a lot.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading off,” Shao Zifeng said, nodding apologetically to Zheng Xiong before turning to leave. Right now, he just wanted to find a quiet place to think things over in peace.
“Hey, hey, let’s chat a bit more.”
“Don’t go.”
“Come hang out when you have time, alright?”
Watching Shao Zifeng leave in a taxi, Zheng Xiong’s mouth curled into a playful smile.
At that moment, his assistant came walking over from the alley, glanced at the departing taxi with a serious look on his face, and said, “Chief, you were a bit unbecoming.”
“Ah, that’s why I say you’re no fun,” Zheng Xiong said as he thumped his assistant on the shoulder with his fist, nearly knocking him off balance.
“You have to remember, in our line of work, you need to ‘lose your cool’ once in a while, otherwise, you’ll eventually end up with psychological issues.”
“You know about Luo Feng from Su City, right? It’s because he dressed himself up like a groomsman every day that he developed mental issues, and now he’s been sent off to gnaw on snow at the border.”
The assistant pushed his glasses up his nose. “Director Luo was mainly affected by the Nine-tailed Demon Fox… ”
“Bullshit,” Zheng Xiong roared as if he was irritated, “If he can’t even handle a Nine-tailed Demon Fox, then he doesn’t deserve to be my rival.”
After saying that, Zheng Xiong’s mood suddenly dropped.
Everyone calls them madmen, but who has ever considered the kind of torment they go through in their minds every day?
“Alright, I’ve seen the kid, and in some ways, he really is quite similar to Luo Feng,” he mumbled to himself as Zheng Xiong’s broad silhouette slowly faded into the alley.
…
Sitting in the taxi, Shao Zifeng closed his eyes and leaned back in the seat. Too many things had happened today, and he was in no mood for pointless chatter with others. He needed time to sort out the jumbled mess of information in his mind.
What he could confirm now was that after getting drunk, he had caused significant damage to Yundu Hotel. Although they had expressed a desire to befriend him, Shao Zifeng still planned to pay them back. Favors were priceless, and he didn’t want to owe unnecessary debts of gratitude.
The Underground Management Department should still have his 900,000-plus. He didn’t spend much money normally.
Besides, he had…
Well.
It would be more accurate to say that Qiuqiu had the salary that Chen Yixin gave, so living expenses weren’t a worry.
In the next couple of days, he was going to take some time to visit the flower, bird, fish, and pet market in Yundu City to try and gather the 1.41 million he owed so he could be at ease.
The second matter was about the investigation into himself. Judging by Gou Donghai’s reaction, Feng Yaohua had initially agreed to the investigation, but then his attitude had undergone such a drastic change.
Shao Zifeng could only think of two influential figures. One was the former eighth-rank Combat Training Master Yang Qian, and the other was Chen Yixin.
With Zhao Liqian and Chen Zhenglong providing insider information, it was normal for Yang Qian to get the news.
As for Chen Yixin, the first thing he thought of was Cang Haiyuan, although he was still uncertain.
Then there was the third matter, about that big moon that had disappeared from people’s memories.
Based on Mirage Beibei’s explanation, that big moon was very likely to be a large-scale Illusion Technique that covered the entire city.
As for why it appeared in Yundu City, or rather why it coincidentally appeared, he couldn’t deduce anything based on the clues he had now.
The only slightly related matter might be the skill associated with Lingling’s inheritance—Dense Forest Stars.
“Sigh.”
Shao Zifeng massaged his temples. What a headache.
Ding-a-ling-a-ling.
Just then, the phone Li Yiming had given him suddenly rang. Shao Zifeng had a bad feeling about this.
Glancing at the caller ID on the screen, Shao Zifeng’s face twisted into a bitter expression.
He quickly pulled the phone away from his ear as he answered.
“Little Zifeng, you alright?”
The gentle voice was tinged with concern, softening Shao Zifeng’s expression instantly.
“Sister-in-law, I…”
“You, I think you want to die!!!” boomed a rough, loud voice from the receiver.
Shao Zifeng’s ears rang as he grimaced, staring at the phone.
Rash indeed.
Still so naive.
Who would have thought that Chen Zhenglong, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, had also learned how to bait-and-switch.
