The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 457 - 457 442 Asking for a Favor

457: Chapter 442: Asking for a Favor 457: Chapter 442: Asking for a Favor Feng Zhixiao’s face was full of embarrassment.

He dared not reveal the truth, or Fang Qin would chop him into pieces.

However, luckily, no one called him out, so they just let it slide.

Feng Zhixiao took the opportunity to recount the mission Ye Chen had entrusted to him.

As soon as he mentioned this, Fang Qin burst out laughing.

“That Kong Haoran is just fooling people!” Fang Qin’s words immediately stunned Feng Zhixiao.

Then, Fang Qin recounted the events of the day and presented all the investigation and DNA comparison results, saying, “Now, the most important thing is to catch those who committed the assault.

As long as we catch them and get them to tell the truth, everything will be clear!”

“Damn it, they dare to deceive my sister-in-law!” Crazy Xiao slammed the table and stood up.

“What are you getting all worked up for?” Fang Qin glared at Feng Zhixiao, saying, “Li Ruo has already withdrawn the case, so we have no right to continue the investigation.

However, if you want to investigate, I can provide any help you need!”

“Hehe, no need!” Feng Zhixiao grinned and laughed, “Leave the rest to our Heavenly Reversal Gang!”

Having said that, Feng Zhixiao hurried out, with Fang Qin calling out behind him, “Hey, you bastard, just going to leave like that?”

His seat had hardly warmed when he dashed off, but Fang Qin, looking at the room full of roses and taking in the fragrant scent, immediately smiled.

This guy, he does have a bit of romance in him.

At this moment, the female colleagues in the office came back and all gasped in surprise when they saw the room full of roses.

They exclaimed, “Wow, how romantic!

How much did this cost?”

That’s how women are, pursuing romance but worrying about wasting money.

“Hey, hey, don’t you pick any!” Fang Qin quickly jumped up.

“Captain Fang, just let us take a couple of flowers…” The girls had an irresistible innate attraction to flowers, so each of them plucked a few to keep in the vases on their office desks.

Soon after, Feng Zhixiao returned to the Heavenly Reversal Gang with news.

Ye Chen and the others were there, all seeming to be in a bad mood, probably because of what had happened that morning.

Feng Zhixiao brought back the news.

Grinding his teeth in anger, Ye Chen said, “Damn it, they dare to pull tricks on me in Jianghuai City!”

“Brother Chen, what should we do?” Liu the Tyrant immediately stood up.

“Listen to me,” Ye Chen stood up abruptly.

“I don’t care what you have to do, but you must find those so-called assailants within three days!” The eight men immediately nodded in agreement, “Brother Chen, rest assured, we will find the people for you within three days, or we’ll come to you with our heads!”

This time, all of them made a solemn vow.

The Heavenly Reversal Gang’s efficiency in getting things done was always more impressive than the police’s.

Known as the ‘underground police of Jianghuai City,’ the gang was gradually taking on some of the police’s roles, such as dispensing justice and helping migrant workers collect debts.

In many instances, they were much faster than the police.

The Heavenly Reversal Gang’s positive image in Jianghuai City was growing.

Quite a few citizens even thought that although the Heavenly Reversal Gang was part of the underworld, they were more just than the police.

Of course, a lot of this had to do with Ye Chen, who always emphasized maintaining good relations with local residents, firmly opposed to drug trades and forced prostitution in Jianghuai City.

Ye Chen knew Jianghuai City was his foundation, his stronghold, and if he ever faced setbacks elsewhere, he could always start over again in Jianghuai City.

Keeping the mountain green, you never worry about a lack of firewood.

The locals sometimes provided tips to assist the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s actions.

Although there were no witnesses to the incident that day, based on Feng Zhixiao’s description, they were steadily narrowing down their search.

On the second day after the incident, which was also the second day of the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s thorough search of Jianghuai City, they learned from an old man guarding a construction site that there was a bald, scar-faced man working as a foreman, but he had recently had a falling out with his boss and left with a group to join a construction company of the Si Yang Group.

This bit of information immediately heartened Feng Zhixiao and the others.

They headed straight to the construction company of the Si Yang Group.

At the construction site, Feng Zhixiao managed to capture the scar-faced man.

“What the hell, what are you doing!” The scar-faced man clearly didn’t recognize Feng Zhixiao and the others.

After all, they weren’t part of the underworld, just ordinary construction workers, and also outsiders, so they were even more unfamiliar with Feng Zhixiao.

Though they had heard of the Heavenly Reversal Gang’s reputation and the legendary stories of the Eight Hidden Generals, when the Eight Hidden Generals stood before him, he was dumbfounded.

“Humph!” Feng Zhixiao said sternly, “You little punk, you’re just asking for a beating.

Tell the truth, did someone bribe you a month ago to pretend to assault someone?”

“No way!” the scar-faced man was utterly astonished.

“Don’t you dare lie to us!

Do you think the Heavenly Reversal Gang is so easy to bully?” Liu the Tyrant immediately charged forward, kicked the man over, then stood on his chest with one foot and angrily said, “Let me tell you, you’re the first person to make the Eight Hidden Generals of our gang take action.

You should feel honored!”

“Ah?!” The man suddenly went limp and quickly begged for mercy, “Great heroes, please, stop beating me!

Isn’t it enough that I confess?”

“Spill everything that happened that day, right now!

If you dare skip a single word, I tell you, I’ll make you regret it!” Feng Zhixiao brandished a steel pipe and fiercely struck down on the scar-faced man’s shoulder.

The pain was unbearable for him, and he cried out in hurry, “It hurts, stop hitting me, I’ll confess!”

Before long, the scar-faced man had spilled all the details, and Jiang Wei recorded everything he said.

“You’re going to have to come with us now and then make a statement for us!” Feng Zhixiao grabbed the scar-faced man and set off.

“Big brother, do I have to go?” the scar-faced man pleaded anxiously.

“Are you asking for a beating?” Liu the Tyrant glared menacingly, more effective than any spoken threat.

The scar-faced man wilted immediately and dared not speak another word.

The group brought the scar-faced man back to the Heavenly Reversal Gang.

Ye Chen sat on the sofa, listening to the scar-faced man recount the events of that day.

He let out a cold laugh and said, “This Kong Haoran does have some tricks up his sleeve, using such sly and despicable methods to win Xiao Ruo’s sympathy!”

“Brother Chen, it’s just not worth it for you!” Feng Zhixiao sat down next to Ye Chen, turning his back to him as if mad at Ye Chen, and grumbled indignantly, “You’ve done so much for your wife, taking bullets, facing bombs.

And now, she’s angry with you over some old flame.

I mean…

what the hell!”

“Seriously, Brother Chen, we all feel it’s unfair for you!” Everyone nodded in agreement.

Everyone knew that Ye Chen had almost lost his life multiple times for Li Ruo, especially the car bomb incident at the entrance of the Jinsheng Hotel.

It was a close call that almost cost Ye Chen his life.

If the car hadn’t been modified, or if Ye Chen hadn’t been so lucky, there might not be a Heavenly Reversal Gang anymore, no Eight Hidden Generals, and none of the people here would be present.

“You don’t understand!” Ye Chen looked deeply at everyone and said, “Love isn’t about taking.

It’s about giving without end.”

“But there’s got to be a limit to giving, right?” Feng Zhixiao clenched his teeth and said, “Besides, giving should be mutual.

Otherwise, isn’t one-sided giving a bit too much?

You care so much for your wife, but what about her?”

“Zhi Xiao, drop it!” Da Hei glanced at Zhi Xiao and said, “Let Brother Chen make his own decisions about his love life.”

“I just can’t stand it!” Feng Zhixiao bit his teeth and said, “Why should a first love from years ago displace all the feelings that Brother Chen has given her this past year in the space of less than a month!”

Feng Zhixiao stamped his foot furiously, then walked to the door and squatted down with a cigarette in his mouth.

The room fell silent, and the scar-faced man had no clue what was going on.

He just hugged himself, squatting on the floor, occasionally glancing up only to be met with a glare from Liu the Tyrant that made him immediately squat down dutifully again.

The room was full of people silently smoking.

No one else spoke.

Ye Chen glanced at everyone and said, “Zhi Xiao, all of you listen…”

Ye Chen then issued a series of commands.

Feng Zhixiao and the others gathered around.

Ye Chen instructed them on several tasks, whether investigating Kong Haoran’s identity or preparing to expose his lies tomorrow.

The group listened with boiling blood.

As long as they could expose Kong Haoran and win back Li Ruo, they all felt a sense of vindication deep within.
