Chapter 342: 205 Flip Face

Xigou ran over, tilting his head and widening his eyes curiously as he asked, "Did you figure it out? Who’s trying to screw you over?"

Fang Zhixing took a sip of tea and explained carefully.

"What the hell?!"

Xigou burst into laughter upon hearing this, and said with a laugh, "After all this fuss, turns out it’s just some woman getting jealous and trying to dig up dirt on you!"

"Laugh your ass off!"

Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes and said grumpily, "This time, I might really take a big fall."

Xigou widened his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, did you sleep with Feng Jiayao or not?"

"How the hell would I know!"

Fang Zhixing was utterly speechless and said in frustration, "Everyone was wearing masks. I didn’t know who she was, and she didn’t know who I was either."

Xigou hastened to say, "Then what are you scared of? You’re innocent and have nothing to hide."

Fang Zhixing said speechlessly, "The biggest trouble now is, even if I haven’t slept with Feng Jiayao, once the Peng Family starts making wild guesses and stirring up trouble out of nothing, creating baseless rumors, the consequences will still be very severe."

Xigou’s heart skipped a beat, finally realizing the gravity of the situation, and said with a click of his tongue, "According to this situation, even if there’s nothing between you and Feng Jiayao, the Peng Family could still make trouble out of it."

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath and sighed, "Moreover, spiritual cultivation is not to be revealed, and my participation in the spiritual cultivation event is a fact. As long as someone exploits this, it’ll be enough to finish me off multiple times."

He analyzed, "I attended the spiritual cultivation event at the Wu Family mansion. If this gets out, the Wu Family will be the first to silence me.

Besides, Luo Keji and Dong Minzhu are in the know, and they definitely don’t want any trouble, so they’ll likely choose to silence me too!

And then there’s Feng Jiayao. If she really did sleep with me, she’d want to silence me more than anyone else.

Finally, there’s Luo Tanzhi, the son of the Prefectural Governor, whom I’ve cuckolded. He’ll definitely want to make sure I die without a funeral!"

Panic-stricken, Xigou said, "It can’t be that bad, right? Wu Hongqiu should know whether you slept with Feng Jiayao or not. What if you didn’t?

Also, how did the Peng Family find out you participated in the spiritual cultivation event? Do they have evidence?

Besides, you were "commissioned to consort," devoting your body for the task. They wouldn’t turn on you so easily without merit or effort."

Fang Zhixing sneered, "This matter concerns the face of Luo Tanzhi and even the Prefectural Governor. Whether it’s Luo Keji, Dong Minzhu, or Wu Hongqiu, none of them can bear that responsibility."

He sighed, "When it comes down to it, Luo Keji and the others will have no choice. They’ll definitely turn against me, abandon me after crossing the bridge, and silence me. It’s inevitable."

Xigou was completely at a loss, speaking urgently, "What should we do then?"

Fang Zhixing spread out a sheet of paper and picked up a pen, dipping it in ink.

"I need to report the results of the Hong Song Villa operation first."

He wrote on the paper, "Upon investigation, the master of Hong Song Villa works for Peng Yuanxiong, who tasked him with probing whether Feng Jiayao participated in any spiritual cultivation events."

Xigou blinked his eyes in surprise and said; "You’re going to report truthfully? Isn’t that digging your own grave?"

Fang Zhixing replied, "As long as Peng Yuanxiong insists on investigating, it’s just a matter of time before the spiritual cultivation event is exposed. But if Luo Keji and Dong Minzhu can restrain Peng Yuanxiong, then I still have a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, I’ll have to flee."

Xigou hastened to say, "You should also notify Wu Hongqiu about this, get the Wu Family to put pressure on them as well."

Fang Zhixing nodded, and summoned Hongye to go find Wu Hongqiu in person.

Hongye was not previously aware of the spiritual cultivation event. Upon suddenly learning of such a vile and sordid affair, she was shocked stiff.

After Hongye left, Fang Zhixing immediately started packing his belongings, preparing everything for escape.

...

...

When the sun was well up in the sky, at the naval camp!

Leng Ayi hurried to Dong Minzhu’s side, handing her a scroll of paper.

Dong Minzhu glanced at it and her eyes suddenly widened, her expression freezing on her face.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Did Feng Jiayao really participate in the spiritual cultivation event?"

Leng Ayi shook her head silently and pursed her lips, "Only Wu Hongqiu knows the answer now."

Dong Minzhu pondered for a moment before standing up and saying, "Prepare the carriage, I’m going to the Inner City."

Leng Ayi hesitated, then asked, "Are you going to see Wu Hongqiu?"

Dong Minzhu nodded and said, "I need to stay on top of the situation and be ready to respond."

Leng Ayi continued, "However, you and this incident are actually unrelated.

If Fang Maofu really does get implicated, it will be limited to him alone.

I doubt the Peng Family would dare to dig any deeper, even with ten times the courage."

Dong Minzhu nodded and said, "I understand, it’s precisely because I can remain neutral that I need to help Wu Hongqiu, just returning a favor with the flow of the water."

Leng Ayi had a moment of realization, and then asked, "The matter is of great importance, should we inform the eldest son?"

Dong Minzhu thought for a moment and said, "It was my idea to arrange Fang Maofu’s participation in the spiritual cultivation event; the eldest son has been unaware all along."

Leng Ayi understood.

Wu Hongqiu and Dong Minzhu were close friends and had always been helping each other.

Back then, when Wu Hongqiu came asking for help, Dong Minzhu didn’t think twice and readily pushed Fang Maofu forward, never discussing the matter with Luo Keji from start to finish.

Soon, Dong Minzhu left the naval camp in a carriage and entered the Inner City, heading straight to the Wu Family residence.

Wu Hongqiu received Dong Minzhu at the earliest opportunity.

"I already know about the matter."

Wu Hongqiu was unusually calm as she said scornfully, "Peng Xuerong is desperate and intends to use underhanded tricks against Feng Jiayao."

Dong Minzhu asked earnestly, "Feng Jiayao she..."

Wu Hongqiu paused briefly, then nodded.

Dong Minzhu was instantly breathless, and after a while, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Wasn’t Feng Jiayao’s body examined before she married Luo Tanzhi?"
