Chapter 188: Chapter 164

Zhao Xingye glared at Yi Feng angrily, but despair filled his heart even more.

He never expected Yi Feng to resort to deception, the hard drive had already been destroyed!

The pretense of negotiation was just to make him admit to the arson!

How infuriating! How utterly infuriating!

Faced with Zhao Xingye’s fury, Yi Feng sneered and pulled out a phone and a small camera from his bag, with a hole on the side of the single shoulder bag where the camera was filming from.

Everything that had just occurred, including the conversation between the two, had been recorded.

Zhao Xingye had personally admitted to his crimes!

“Zhao Xingyue, compared to money, I’d rather see you in jail!” Yi Feng said coldly, then handed all the evidence to Zhou Guofeng.

Zhou Guofeng looked at Yi Feng appreciatively, took the equipment, and placed it in an evidence bag.

Other police officers began searching the shop.

“Take him away,” Zhou Guofeng ordered with a wave of his hand.

“Yes!”

The police then arrested Zhao Xingye, who looked ashen, and took him away in a police car.

Zhou Guofeng turned to Yi Feng with a smile and said, “Heh, Boss Yi, you really did a great job. This method was excellent.”

Yi Feng smiled faintly and said, “Officer Zhou, I’ll leave the rest to you. With you upholding fairness and justice, all criminals will definitely be brought to justice.”

“Don’t worry, that’s our duty. If there’s any outcome, I’ll inform you,” Zhou Guofeng nodded.

Yi Feng smiled and said, “Good, also, if Zhao Xingye’s family wants to reach an out-of-court settlement, you can contact me.”

Out-of-court settlements are just a way to reduce the sentence.

Arson is a serious crime, and the direct economic losses caused by Zhao Xingye have reached a severe level, definitely resulting in a sentence of three to ten years in prison, even with a reduction, it must be over three years.

Yi Feng intended not only to have him imprisoned but also to have him pay a large sum of money!

If he only served time without paying compensation, it would be a loss for himself.

Real money is what mattered.

Zhou Guofeng looked at him unexpectedly, feeling that this young man was extremely meticulous and far beyond ordinary people!

“Okay, no problem, I’ll go back and take care of it now,” Zhou Guofeng nodded, shook hands with Yi Feng, and then took his leave.

Watching the police car drive away, with some officers still searching the shop for other clues, Yi Feng knew that this matter was finally coming to an end.

“Brother Feng, you’re awesome! With this trick, he exposed himself and admitted to it! Truly brilliant!” Wang Tie gave a thumbs-up.

“Once someone commits a crime, they panic, Zhao Xingye was no exception.”

“By the way, Wang Tie, look for another location nearby later, and let’s reopen the shop.”

“Contact the landlord about compensation, and once Zhao Xingye’s compensation is in place, a part of it will go to the landlord, and we should still make a good profit,” Yi Feng said confidently.

“Heh, Boss Feng, don’t worry, I’ll follow up,” Wang Tie nodded.

After pondering for a moment, Yi Feng said, “There are two days left before I report to the university. Work hard for these two days, I have to go to Huang He’s house tomorrow.”

“Okay, I understand,” Wang Tie replied.

Yi Feng was busy until the afternoon before he dragged his tired body home.

Having not slept the previous night and been tense all day, he immediately lay on the sofa upon returning home and almost fell asleep.

“Knock, knock, knock.”

At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Yi Feng got up to open it, and Gu Muxi appeared at the door.

“My goodness, stinky Feng, did you stay up all night playing games? Such dark circles?” Gu Muxi exclaimed in astonishment upon seeing Yi Feng, who had panda-like dark circles and looked utterly exhausted.

“Ah, come in, and I’ll explain slowly,” Yi Feng said with a wry smile, slumping his head back down onto the sofa.

Seeing his exhausted face, Gu Muxi couldn’t bear it, so she sat beside him, propping his head on her legs and gently massaging it.

“Stinky Feng, what exactly happened?” Gu Muxi asked in confusion.

Yi Feng then briefly explained the situation to her.

Hearing this, Gu Muxi’s eyebrows furrowed in anger, “That Zhao Xingyue, he’s too bad!”

“Some people do anything when they’re drunk,” Yi Feng said with a light laugh.

“But fortunately, he’s been arrested, and I’ll receive the compensation later. This eliminates a future problem and gives me some peace of mind.”

“You business people really are cunning!” Gu Muxi pouted.

Yi Feng chuckled, “If I weren’t a bit cunning, how could I win you over?”

Gu Muxi’s cheeks flushed, and she pinched his waist.

“Win me over? Stinky Feng, you’re asking for a beating, aren’t you!”

“Ow!! Gu Muxi, dare to let me go!” Yi Feng howled and shouted loudly.

Gu Muxi released his head and huffed arrogantly, “What’s the matter, little Feng, you dare to rebel?”

Yi Feng sat up, suddenly pushed her down on the sofa, and said with a laugh, “You think I’m Hello Kitty because I don’t show my power?”

Saying this, Yi Feng leaned down towards her.

Gu Muxi’s cheeks turned red as an apple, and she glanced at him, “What, what are you trying to do?”

“Hehe, of course, it’s…” Yi Feng revealed a mischievously charming smile.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the door.

“Eh, what are you… doing?” Meng Xiaoyun was stunned to see Yi Feng pressing Gu Muxi on the sofa.

For a moment, Yi Feng was embarrassed, then quickly sat up straight and said, “Cough, cough, Mom, we were just playing around.”

“Right, Gu Muxi?”

Gu Muxi, with her face flushed and looking “humiliated,” nodded, “Ah, yes, yes.”

Meng Xiaoyun put down the vegetable basket, hands on her hips, and glared at Yi Feng, “Son, are you bullying Xixi again?”

Yi Feng: “……”

I was planning to, but you came back!

He couldn’t say that, so he defended, “Not at all, absolutely not.”

Saying this, he secretly glared at Gu Muxi.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Muxi stuck out her pink tongue and made a face at him.

“Auntie, are you preparing to cook? Let me help you pick vegetables~” Gu Muxi stood up and ran over, sweetly offering.

“Ah, good, Xixi, you’re so good! Auntie loves you~” Meng Xiaoyun happily pinched Gu Muxi’s cheek.

“Then you help me pick vegetables, and I’ll make you a delicious meal tonight.”

Gu Muxi nodded and said, “Good, thank you, Auntie~”

The two of them were as close as mother and daughter.

Yi Feng couldn’t help but smile; indeed… because Gu Muxi was beautiful, cute, did well in her studies, and was obedient, any parent would like her very much.

“Mom, I’ll help you pick vegetables too!” Yi Feng shouted towards the kitchen.

“Oh!”

In the kitchen, Meng Xiaoyun just casually responded.

Yi Feng: “……”

Such a big difference in treatment!

The two sat at the dining table picking vegetables.

Yi Feng nudged Gu Muxi with his elbow and whispered, “Little Xixi, just you wait, I’ll take care of you tonight!”

“Hmph~ you dare, if you bully me, I’ll immediately tattle~” Gu Muxi whispered back with a laugh.

“Gu Muxi, you’re not being honorable! Then do you still want to eat popsicles tonight?” Yi Feng whispered back.

Hearing about popsicles, Gu Muxi’s eyes lit up, “I want to eat, will you buy them for me?”

“I’m your boyfriend, who else would spoil you if not me?” Yi Feng chuckled.

Hearing this, Gu Muxi felt sweet inside, then lifted her hand to pinch Yi Feng’s cheek, saying, “You really are a good boyfriend!”

“Let’s settle it then, we’ll go buy some after dinner~”

“No problem!”

……

Night, nine o’clock.

Yi Feng and Gu Muxi bought popsicles and walked around the neighborhood.

He was yawning while licking the popsicle, utterly exhausted.

“Look at how tired you are, let’s rest for a bit over there,” Gu Muxi said, licking her popsicle and expressing concern.

“Okay, okay, I want to lie down,” Yi Feng said with a smile.

The two found a bench, and Yi Feng rested his head on her legs, lying down while eating his popsicle.

Yi Feng shifted his head to find a very comfortable position to rest on.

Gu Muxi’s legs felt so soft and elastic; lying on them was really comfortable.

After a while, he forgot about the popsicle, his eyelids felt as heavy as if they were weighed down with gold, almost unable to stay open.

“Stinky Feng? Are you asleep?” Gu Muxi looked down and saw that he was indeed about to fall asleep.

To avoid waking him, Gu Muxi gently took the popsicle from his hand.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Yi Feng’s breathing became even, indicating he had fallen asleep.

Gu Muxi quickly finished the popsicle, looking at the increasingly sleepy and weary-faced Yi Feng, her heart couldn’t help but ache a bit.

She gently stroked his hair, murmuring, “Stinky Feng, you always tire yourself out like this…”

“I wish I could help you, to take some of the pressure off.”

Yi Feng seemed to hear her voice, shifted his head again, and rested his hands on her legs, continuing to sleep.

Gu Muxi saw his posture resembling a little kangaroo and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

“Stinky Feng, you’re actually… quite cute sometimes!”
