MSSU Chapter 20: Passing the Buck
Shen Wan'er nodded gently. "It's time to let our eldest sister help. And regarding the matter of that overseas organization, we also need to trouble our eldest sister. So let's solve it together."
"Xiaofeng, where are you going?" Murong Xiaoxiao suddenly spoke up.
She saw Xiaofeng suddenly stand up, as if he was about to open the door, clearly intending to escape.
"Plop!"
Luo Feng suddenly knelt down.
"Second sister, if you call for the eldest sister to come, you might as well kill me. She's scarier than you. If the eldest sister finds out I've caused trouble, she'll definitely kill me."
...
"It's you!"
In front of the Li family's convoy, the bald-headed old man was stunned when he saw the person blocking the road.
It turned out to be Li Tianchen's wife, the fairy sister-in-law who Luo Feng mistook for a fairy when he jumped into the moat.
Ignoring the bald-headed old man, Qin Su came to Li Tianchen's side. Seeing Li Tianchen crippled and dumbfounded, she showed no signs of sadness.
"I told you before, Longcheng is treacherous. You insisted on proving your abilities. Now look, you've ended up like this. You're too foolish."
"What are you here for?" The bald-headed old man's expression sank, seeming very resistant to this daughter-in-law.
Qin Su looked at the bald-headed old man. "Since I am already Li family's daughter-in-law, and Haoran has been beaten into the hospital and Tianchen has ended up like this, how can I sit idly by?"
"Don't pretend here. I've warned this stinky brat before, you're not someone he can control."
"If he hadn't been bewitched, wanting to prove his worth to you by becoming the number one in Longcheng, how could he be lying here now?"
"I don't care if you genuinely love each other or if there's another deal between you. From now on, don't appear in front of our Li family."
Qin Su looked straight at the bald-headed old man without speaking.
People in Longcheng often said that Li Tianchen was quite scheming, good at business, and had developed the Li family into an almost first-tier family in Longcheng within a few years.
But they didn't know that the real reason for the rise of the Li family was this woman behind Li Tianchen, Qin Su.
Qin Su was Li Tianchen's chief strategist, secretly controlling the Li family's treasury and managing it well.
For such a wise and beautiful woman, the bald-headed old man couldn't figure out why she would be willing to marry his son.
There must be a secret behind this. The bald-headed old man had repeatedly questioned Li Tianchen, but Li Tianchen remained silent, only saying that the time was not right.
When the time came, he would tell him and Qin Su's secret.
Ignoring the bald-headed old man's anger, Qin Su remained calm. "Today's humiliation to the Li family, I will get it back for you. Don't you want to see that Luo Feng is punished?"
"You sure know how to talk. That little bastard not only has the support of the Gu family, but also has the backing of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion. Do you think you can deal with him?" The bald-headed old man clenched his fists, of course, wishing he could skin Luo Feng alive.
"I certainly don't have that ability, but my brother does," Qin Su suddenly said.
"Your brother?" The bald-headed old man was slightly stunned.
He really didn't understand Qin Su's identity, and even suspected that this name was fake.
Qin Su smiled and turned to look at where her car was parked.
Suddenly, the car door slowly opened, and a man dressed in casual clothes, with sword-like eyebrows and a majestic demeanor, got out of the car.
The bald-headed old man scrutinized the man from head to toe, feeling a strong aura of iron and blood, instinctively feeling fear.
This man was extraordinary!
"Sister, leaving the family, I didn't expect you to fall to such a state. Marrying such a useless family, if you hadn't called me today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known how pathetic you've become."
The man's tone was arrogant, and he showed no respect to anyone from the Li family present.
The bald-headed old man furrowed his brows slightly. "Who are you, sir?"
"You're not qualified to know," the man said, hands behind his back, ignoring the bald-headed old man. "I'm here today on a mission, and I'll take a look at this so-called invincible Luo Feng while I'm at it to see how difficult he really is."
"Do you mean to say you can deal with the Hundred Herbs Pavilion?" the bald-headed old man probed, trying to ascertain the man's background.
But the man looked down on them, sneered, and said, "You, a mere Li family, are not qualified to know. Just wait, tomorrow I will give you an explanation."
With that, the man turned and got back into the car, followed closely by Qin Su.
This mysterious daughter-in-law drove away under the gaze of the bald-headed old man and his entourage.
The next morning, as the sky was just beginning to brighten, a prominent figure from the western region military command of the Huaxia Empire descended upon Longcheng, stirring up many of the city's major families.
At this moment, this important figure was sitting in the conference building of the four major chambers of commerce, personally received by the heads of the four major chambers of commerce.
What Grandpa Guo had feared finally happened.
An invitation letter specifically named a young man named Luo Feng to attend this special meeting.
"Who here is Luo Feng? Step forward!" A man with a rugged face, dressed in military attire, with a fierce gaze, scanned everyone from the Gu family, finally fixing his gaze on a young man and furrowing his brows.
"It's me," Luo Feng said innocently, standing up and looking at the subordinates behind the rugged man before asking, "Is there something you need, sir?"
The rugged man scrutinized Luo Feng from head to toe, his face filled with disdain.
"The Huaxia western region military command has a message. We are taking over the overseas kidnapping case. We suspect that you have colluded with the overseas kidnappers. Come with us for questioning."
With that, the rugged man signaled to his subordinates, and the two men moved forward to seize Luo Feng.
"Do you have an arrest warrant?" Grandpa Guo asked.
The two subordinates looked at the rugged man.
The rugged man furrowed his brows impatiently. "Who do you think you are? Does the Huaxia western region military command need to inform you of our actions?"
"So you don't have one?" At this moment, a powerful female voice came from outside the door.
Suddenly, Murong Xiaoxiao and Shen Wan'er walked in.
The rugged man was slightly stunned. "Miss Murong from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion?"
Then the rugged man was stunned again. "Shen Wan'er, the number one figure in the film and television empire, is still alive."
"Did you just say he colluded with overseas kidnappers?" Shen Wan'er, wearing high heels, smiled sweetly, but there was a dangerous aura about her.
The rugged man's eyes showed a hint of panic, secretly surprised that the intelligence was indeed accurate. This person's background was truly terrifying.
With the backing of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion and the reigning goddess of the film and television empire.
"It's just a suspicion, but to be on the safe side, we need to investigate," the rugged man replied conservatively.
"No need to investigate. This person is my junior brother," Shen Wan'er said calmly. "I was saved by him. You should know that by now. So go back. He has nothing to do with those overseas kidnappers."
"Miss Shen Wan'er!" The rugged man furrowed his brows. "This is a military order, and I am also acting on orders. Although Miss Shen Wan'er is a victim, we cannot let go of any suspicious person just because of your words, right?"
Shen Wan'er furrowed her brows and looked at Murong Xiaoxiao.
Sure enough, the other party really intended to drag Luo Feng down with this overseas kidnapping case.
Murong Xiaoxiao said, "Alright, Xiaofeng, you can go with them. But let me make it clear first. If I find out that your superiors mishandle this matter, my Hundred Herbs Pavilion won't be easy to deal with."
The pressure was immense, too immense.
The rugged man's forehead was covered with black lines. He really couldn't understand why his superiors would go to such lengths for a mere Li family.
If this matter escalated, it would probably not benefit anyone.
After all... Luo Feng's backstage was just too powerful.
With that, Murong Xiaoxiao, Shen Wan'er, and Gu Xuenian's three women came to Luo Feng's side and said, "Xiaofeng, let's go. Today, we'll see who dares to pin the blame on you."
