Cang Ming

Chapter 458 Protecting One's Own

"Dad, there's nothing inside, it was just the guys messing around," Feng Shao looked at Shao Cheng. "Cheng Ge, where did you get it from?"

"I found it," Shao Cheng's understated words sent a jolt through Feng Shao.

Found it? Was that true or not?

Since the camera was broken, there was nothing more to say about it.

"Mr. Shao, I'm truly sorry. My son, Feng, is too impulsive. I will definitely discipline him when we get home!" Feng's father chided him verbally, but in his heart, he highly approved of his son's actions.

Regardless of what was inside the camera, since Shao Cheng had come personally, he was definitely going to act against their Feng family. Therefore, Feng Shao's actions were perfectly justified!

"It's fine." Unexpectedly, Shao Cheng seemed unconcerned. Just as Feng's father thought he had guessed Shao Cheng's intentions incorrectly, Shao Cheng slowly took out another camera from another pocket.

He smiled slightly, his sharp black eyes looking up, utterly cunning.

"I think I might have grabbed the wrong one just now. It should be this one."

How could this be...!

The father and son's faces changed instantly.

Shao Cheng smiled, "This time, Young Master Feng won't be so reckless a second time, will he?"

Feng's father wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "This..."

Feng Shao gritted his teeth. He had a backup plan, and he had been careless!

Given the circumstances, Feng's father had no choice but to put on a stern face and reprimand him, "Apologize to Mr. Shao at once!"

"Yes—"

Just as Feng Shao was about to speak, Shao Cheng coldly interrupted him, "This camera was just something I happened to find, and I believe Young Master Feng knows who he should apologize to, right?"

Feng Shao swallowed nervously and softly assented.

"I heard that child is still in the hospital..."

"I know!" To prevent Shao Cheng from revealing the matter, Feng Shao blurted out urgently, "I... I'll send the money to the hospital later!"

It seemed he had indeed seen the contents of the camera, otherwise how would he have known about this!

Shao Cheng glanced carelessly at the grim-faced Feng's father and stood up.

Before leaving, he added, "Lives are not divided by value. Young Master Feng should refrain from being so willful in the future."

Feng Shao nodded with a pale face.

After the door closed, Feng Shao looked at his father's stern expression. He cautiously walked over, intending to explain, but his father raised his hand and slapped him across the face.

"You've really brought honor to our Feng family!"

"Dad!" Feng Shao clutched his cheek, kneeling on the ground and begging, "Dad, it was all just an accident. Don't worry, I didn't cause anyone's death!"

"You still want to cause a death!" Feng's father roared, slamming the camera in front of him with a "bang." "It's one thing for you to be willful usually, but haven't I told you recently that our company is at a crucial stage for its listing, and you must stay out of trouble! Yet, not only did you not listen, but you also let Shao Cheng find out! Family shame should not be spread outside! You useless piece of trash, I'll break your legs today!"

"Dad, Dad, I was wrong, I was wrong... Ah!"

Hearing the tragic screams from the office, Shao Cheng's lips curved into a cold smile.

As soon as he stepped out of Feng's Corporation, Shao Cheng received a text message from Lou Yu Ming.

[Song Xi is angry, so the Feng family has to be put on hold. They are not worthy enough yet.]

This was to stop Feng's listing!

This Lou Yu Ming was truly protective.

On the other side, in the presidential suite.

Song Xi was indeed angry. "Did you take the GoPro?"

Lou Yu Ming's expression remained unchanged. After staring at her furious gaze for a long time, he finally responded indifferently.

"Do you know how important that thing is to me! Where did you take it!"

"Such a temper?" Lou Yu Ming disliked her accusatory tone, especially after he had just applied medicine for her. Her temper now made him feel quite displeased.

Song Xi was indeed anxious. She suppressed her anger and said, "Give me back the GoPro."

"What do you want to do?" He asked knowingly, wanting to test if she would tell him everything.

Song Xi pursed her lips but did not explain clearly, only saying, "That thing is very important to me."

"I can give it to you, but answer a few questions first."

A dark glint flashed in Lou Yu Ming's eyes. "What were you doing at Boyou Pavilion yesterday?"

"Completing a task."

She wasn't lying.

"What task?"

Song Xi frowned. "It's work-related."

Lou Yu Ming didn't press her, only stating coldly, "If you want it, explain clearly."

Song Xi finally said, "To test the swimming goggles! Are you satisfied now?"

Lou Yu Ming raised an eyebrow, offering no comment. "How much of what happened yesterday do you remember?"

"All of it."

"Were you bullied?"

"Yes."

He turned to look at her, his ink-colored eyes calmly watching her. "Do you know how dangerous it would have been for you if I hadn't been there yesterday?"

Song Xi fell silent, her lips trembling for a few seconds. "...I know. That's why the camera has all the evidence!"

"Evidence?" Lou Yu Ming sneered. "What if that camera was damaged? Boyou Pavilion doesn't have surveillance."

Song Xi naturally knew that the camera was likely damaged, after all, she had jumped into the swimming pool yesterday without hesitation.

But if it could be repaired, perhaps...

Lou Yu Ming seemed to read her mind and ruthlessly crushed her hope. "Don't even think about it. I've had someone check that camera. It can't be repaired."

As soon as he said this, Song Xi's heart sank into an endless abyss.

Lou Yu Ming walked over, cupped her chin, and said, "So, besides me, no one can help you. Instead of pinning your hopes on those things, why not just ask me? This is the simplest way."
