The Yan Family incident had been brewing in Binhai for two whole days, with rumors growing increasingly exaggerated, to the point where even the action department was mobilized.
However, since the parties involved had moved away from Binhai early on, and no evidence was left at the scene, nothing was ever found.
On a new day, Jiang Feng, as usual, got up early, made breakfast for Nangong Qingcheng and the other two women, finished his morning exercise with Feng Yueji, and then went to work at Fengming Company as usual.
Upon seeing him, Heizi was speechless: "Damn, you do know this is your workplace, right? Can't even catch a glimpse of you every day, you're acting like a big shot security guard!"
Although it was a teasing tone, Heizi was just joking around; it's not like he didn't know some of Jiang Feng's "background." Such a formidable person could indeed act like a big shot.
Jiang Feng couldn't be bothered to respond to him and walked straight into the security room, only to be startled as soon as he entered — there was a girl getting down from Heizi's bed!
The girl, with her hair disheveled and a flustered expression, was tidying up her clothes. Upon seeing Jiang Feng come in, she gave an embarrassed smile.
Jiang Feng immediately backed out and frowned at Heizi.
Heizi gave an awkward smile: "Uh, this is your new sister-in-law. Let me introduce her; her name is Fangfang. Fangfang, come out quickly, this is my brother Jiang Feng I've told you about!"
The girl inside finally came out with a shy face, her head lowered, staring at her toes, with cheeks as red as apples.
"Hello," Jiang Feng signaled to the girl.
"Hello," the girl appeared much shyer than Feng Na, at least she seemed like a decent girl, with two shallow dimples appearing on her face when she was shy.
"Are you going to work now? Then I'll go back first... Zhang Danian, I brought your clothes back; I'll wash them for you and bring them back later," Fangfang said shyly to Zhang Danian.
"Okay." Heizi's face was full of happiness, almost grinning like a flower.
So, under Jiang Feng's gaze, Fangfang shyly returned to the room, gathered up Heizi's dirty clothes and smelly socks, and then ran off with a flushed face.
"How about my sister-in-law, isn't she nice to me?" Heizi put his arm around Jiang Feng's neck, boasting.
Seeing Heizi's silly, smug expression, Jiang Feng knew he'd completely moved on from the shadow of Feng Na, nodding as he said: "Not bad, much better than Feng Na."
"Come on! There's no comparison, that was just for fun, this is the one I can actually bring home as a wife!" Heizi widened his eyes, looking very cocky.
Next, Heizi enthusiastically recounted his process of pursuing Fangfang to Jiang Feng.
Fangfang, unlike Feng Na, wasn't a college student, just an ordinary girl running a street stall selling clothes.
Her family background wasn't very good either; her hometown was a county below. She came to Binhai alone to make a living and rented an apartment nearby.
A few days ago, Heizi happened to run into Fangfang being harassed by some thugs on the roadside on one of his aimless nighttime strolls. Enraged, he intervened!
With his skills, chasing off a few hooligans was no problem, and afterward, Fangfang, grateful to Heizi, developed a fondness for him.
Heizi seized the opportunity, got Fangfang's WeChat, and then employed his knack for flirting, leaving the situation uncontrollable, with their relationship naturally blossoming.
Last night, in this small security room, Fangfang, a fine young lady, was half-pushed, half-consented into being his...
"I've come to understand myself now, don't want any unrealistic pursuits, finding someone truly suitable for me is key, and Fangfang is my destined wife." Heizi reflected and summed it up with a smile.
Jiang Feng sincerely felt happy for him.
Although Fangfang didn't seem as beautiful as Feng Na, just as Heizi said, it's better to be down-to-earth. Most importantly, Fangfang was genuinely sincere towards Heizi, which was obvious at a glance.
"As long as you cherish her, treat her well, put aside your slick ways, and make a fresh start," Jiang Feng advised.
"Don't worry, I've thought it through. When I have time next month, I'll take Fangfang home for my mom to see, she's been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Heizi revealed his plan and then, suddenly remembering something, said mysteriously: "By the way, brother, there's been a big stir in the city recently, have you heard about it?"
"What is it?" Jiang Feng asked unperturbed.
"The Yan Family was wiped out, didn't you know?" Heizi asked, wide-eyed.
"What does it have to do with me, why should I know?" Jiang Feng remained calm.
Heizi was taken aback: "Am I wrong in thinking it was you?"
"Who told you it was me?" Jiang Feng furrowed his brow.
Heizi scratched his head, bewildered.
Could it be that he was really mistaken?
But it's impossible. Who in all of Binhai, besides Jiang Feng, possesses such unfathomable abilities as to topple the Yan Family from the Divine Altar?
Unable to figure it out, Heizi shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, it has nothing to do with us regular folks. I've got two movie tickets here, do you want them? I bought them yesterday, originally planned to see it with Fangfang this morning, but she suddenly received a call from a supplier to restock, so we can't go. You know a lot of pretty ladies, want to take one to see it?"
Heizi knew he was different from Jiang Feng, that the apex of his life was limited, and having Fangfang to spend the rest of his life with was enough. But Jiang Feng was different; he was truly exceptional, surrounded by beautiful women...
Looking at the two movie tickets in Heizi's hand, Jiang Feng instinctively wanted to refuse.
But at that moment, he suddenly thought of Nangong Qingcheng!
Even someone like Heizi, straightforward and unsophisticated, knew to ask his girlfriend out to a movie.
Poor him, as the "fiancé," had never officially asked Nangong Qingcheng out to see a movie until today!!
Coincidentally, Nangong Qingcheng loved watching movies and would secretly watch horror movies when she had free time!
"What movie?" Jiang Feng reached out and took the tickets.
"Child's Play! This year's most classic horror film!" Heizi announced.
It was even a horror movie; was this fate?
"Alright then," Jiang Feng put away the tickets, "I'll keep them."
...
In the morning, while Heizi wasn't paying attention, Jiang Feng came alone to the second floor of the company.
Bai Zhiqing happened to be on leave today, so Nangong Qingcheng was the only one on the second floor of the company.
Arriving at the door of Nangong Qingcheng's office, Jiang Feng suddenly realized that he had indeed somewhat neglected Nangong Qingcheng's feelings recently!
Many times, when she wanted to talk to him, she appeared hesitant, always silently enduring his half-heartedness.
With a hint of guilt, Jiang Feng pushed open the office door.
Inside, Nangong Qingcheng was concentrating on examining the accounts.
It was the first time Jiang Feng saw Nangong Qingcheng working seriously, and for a moment, he was slightly dazed.
Nangong Qingcheng was wearing a snow-white dress, her body like undulating mountains, accentuated to the fullest.
A pair of snow-white legs crossed gently, her charming little feet exposed delicately in the air.
Her ten shell-like white toes scampered naughtily, further enhancing the delicate beauty of her legs, her ankles smooth and fine, her soles translucent pink, her foot arch crystal clear!
For convenience in viewing the accounts, Nangong Qingcheng's head full of enchanting long hair was rarely tied up, and her absolutely stunning face was adorned with purple-framed glasses. In the soft sunlight, she exuded a serene and peaceful aura.
"What brings you here?"
Unexpectedly seeing Jiang Feng enter, Nangong Qingcheng was slightly puzzled.
"Heizi gave me two movie tickets this morning, and I wanted..."
Jiang Feng, usually calm in the face of anything, was suddenly at a loss for words in front of his celestial-like wife, the Yaochi Fairy.
People have their strengths, and this happens to not be his!
With Nangong Qingcheng's sharp intelligence, she was just a little surprised as she tilted her head, looking at Jiang Feng with disbelief: "Are you asking me to a movie?"
At that moment, it was as if she saw a withered tree blooming or a stubborn stone gaining awareness!
"I just came to ask if you don't want to go, then forget it," Jiang Feng said, already turning to leave, unexpectedly feeling both embarrassed and guilty.
"Hold on!"
Who would have thought, from behind him, Nangong Qingcheng suddenly stopped him!
Jiang Feng turned back, only to see Nangong Qingcheng put down the accounts, stand up from behind her desk, and walk slowly toward him.
With a wisp of intoxicating fragrance, Nangong Qingcheng came to stand before Jiang Feng, snatched the two movie tickets from his hand, and gave him a glare: "Who said I'm not going?"
