Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law
Chapter 1401: Accidents Happen One After Another!
"Yes!!!"
The Four Guardians heard Jing Kuiyuan’s order and immediately went to carry it out.
It must be said, this is truly a brilliant idea. No matter how capable Jiang Feng is, he can’t possibly protect four of his close ones simultaneously.
During their time in Binhai, they’ve almost figured out who those key people connected to Jiang Feng are. By randomly picking a few targets and taking them to different places, they’d leave Jiang Feng struggling to deal with it all!
...
Staff Dormitory.
Jiang Feng was in the kitchen, cooking a pot of fragrant noodles.
Murong Qian’s home is different from Situ Yan’s place; the refrigerator here has all kinds of ingredients, which also shows Murong Qian’s gentle and kind nature. Despite being busy, she maintains the household well, completely different from Situ Yan’s carefree personality.
"Smells so good! What tasty treat are you making, you guy?"
Murong Qian, having finished freshening up, lazily came to the kitchen door, smilingly looked inside and asked.
"It’s almost ready, you can try it soon." Jiang Feng picked up the ladle and tasted the flavor; it was indeed good, even more aromatic than what he cooked at home.
"When did you get so skilled? That’s incredible." Murong Qian shook her head with a chuckle and walked in to help Jiang Feng serve the noodles in bowls.
As a child, she certainly wouldn’t have tasted Jiang Feng’s cooking; it can only be said that over the years, Jiang Feng transformed greatly, becoming adept at everything—no wonder he attracts girls.
But Jiang Feng was indifferent; during the past six hundred years before his rebirth, he traversed the Cultivation Worlds undefeated, where top-tier ingredients were never scarce, and he could even turn dragon liver and phoenix marrow into culinary delights.
In comparison, cooking noodles was truly child’s play.
"Are you still going to work as usual today?"
The two carried their noodles to the dining table, Jiang Feng sat across from Murong Qian and asked.
"Of course, who’s going to support me if I don’t work, you?" Murong Qian gave Jiang Feng a sideways glance, elegantly folded her snow-white long legs, and said coyly.
"..."
Jiang Feng found out that he truly needed to be careful talking with Murong Qian; she might just say something that leaves him awkward.
"By the way, if you have time to be with me today, I can take a leave day, what do you say?" Murong Qian lightly kicked Jiang Feng with her little foot, asking.
"Sister Qian, I have things to do today, another time." Naturally, Jiang Feng politely declined; he feared that if he became too captivated, he wouldn’t be able to resist Murong Qian’s charms.
"Tch, I knew you wouldn’t spend more time with me. Next time you come, don’t be so hesitant." Murong Qian teased.
"..."
"And especially, make sure to have enough energy before you come again. Don’t choose to sleep so early intentionally; you’re not an old sage, are you at your young age?"
With cheeks slightly red, Murong Qian glanced at Jiang Feng: "I’m a medicine major, I know better than you. Young people, holding back all the time isn’t good, vent when you need to."
"Ahem, eat noodles, eat noodles." Jiang Feng tapped the bowl, hastily trying to change the subject.
...
After sharing the delightful meal of noodles with Murong Qian, she cleaned up the dishes and went downstairs together with Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng drove her back to the hospital, then departed alone.
For unknown reasons, his right eyelid started twitching uneasily again, foreseeing something might be happening.
Logically, it shouldn’t be; he helped Situ Yan solve a tricky issue last night, and he just watched Murong Qian enter the hospital, everything seemed peaceful, where’s the anomaly?
Could it be at home?
He called Nangong Qingcheng, and learned everything was normal at home. Nangong Qingcheng, Chu Feifei, Liu Shiyuan, and Zhang Qinyao had gone to class, Mo Zixun and Su Xiaoxiao initially wanted to go to Binhai University to hang out, but feared causing a stir, so they unwillingly went to Fengming with Bai Zhiqing and Baili Xiyue.
As for Feng Yueji and Mu Yanluo, they respectively went to their own corporations, all was normal.
It must be a joke; seems like his worries are unfounded.
At that moment, Jiang Feng hailed a car and headed to Fengming, knowing Mo Zixun was here for him, yet he had been away from home for two days, which wasn’t very considerate.
Upon arriving outside Fengming, as he got out of the car, he unsurprisingly saw Heizi, who was standing downstairs, eagerly looking as if waiting for something.
"Brother, why are you here alone?"
Heizi saw Jiang Feng and immediately walked over with a puzzled question.
"Alone?"
Jiang Feng paused for a moment, frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Manager Nangong and Supervisor Bai didn’t come!"
Heizi said, "It’s normal for Manager Nangong and them not to come, since they need to attend school, but Supervisor Bai has never been late, she’s usually here by now. I thought she was with you, so..."
"Bai Zhiqing didn’t come?"
Jiang Feng’s face changed!
He had just finished a call with Nangong Qingcheng, confirming that Bai Zhiqing and the others should be at the company, why did Heizi say otherwise?
"No! I find it odd too, Supervisor Bai is the punctual one, and Lady Baili hasn’t been seen today either." Heizi muttered.
Jiang Feng immediately realized that an accident might have really happened; his intuition wasn’t unfounded!
Just then, his phone rang, and seeing the caller was Demoness!
"It’s me, what’s going on?" Jiang Feng immediately answered.
He hadn’t contacted Demoness for a while; why was she suddenly calling?
"Xiao Feng, are Wan’er and Ruyan with you?" The urgent tone from Demoness’s side asked.
"No! What happened to them?" Jiang Feng gripped the phone, did something really happen to Shangguan Wan’er and Dong Ruyan?
"That’s odd, why can’t we reach them?"
Demoness seemed to realize the severity of things, saying, "This morning, we arrived to work at the usual time but Wan’er and Ruyan weren’t there! I only noticed through the attendance sheet, sent Zhiyao to their place but found no one around. They usually come to work together, love eating breakfast by the roadside, but now they’re missing!"
"Did you call them?" Jiang Feng asked and instantly admitted he was being foolish; if they hadn’t called, how would Demoness know they couldn’t be reached?
"Of course, no answer! I suspect they were kidnapped, but considering their skills, it’s unlikely—unless it was a move from our former foes! But how could those enemies know about our disguise settling in Binhai?"
No, it couldn’t be the enemies of the Demon Moon Alliance!
Having learned from Pi Changshan, Jiang Feng had a gut feeling all today’s anomalies were aimed at him!
Otherwise, all those suddenly missing people wouldn’t have connections to him!
"Listen, you and Kong Guyoulan quickly come to Fengming... No! I’ll come to you, stay put and warn all your girls not to act impulsively, I’m going to..."
Jiang Feng worried that Demoness and Kong Guyoulan might face incidents on their way, so urged them to stay at Fengming and not venture out, but before finishing, another call came in.
This heightened his feeling of foreboding, was there another incident happening?!
