My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 259 - 258 Starve You for Three Days

"Why bother with so much fuss," Jin Dalong waved his hand impatiently. "Get everyone to investigate immediately. We must find this bastard. If we don't kill this bastard, my hatred won't be quenched!"

"Don't worry, I will send people to investigate," said the middle-aged woman, pausing for a moment. "The fact that the other party only knocked you out and didn't take your life can even be considered fortunate."

"What? That bastard dares to take my life? Does he have the gall!" Jin Dalong's eyes widened in anger.

"The fact that he dared to attack you shows that he's not afraid of your revenge, or it means that he's very confident in himself, certain that he won't reveal his identity," the middle-aged woman said. "Under such circumstances, would he not dare to kill you?"

"Uh..." Jin Dalong's face changed. "Don't scare me..."

"I'm not trying to scare you; I'm reminding you," the middle-aged woman spoke earnestly. "You've been too ostentatious in your actions over the years, offending many people. Now that you've been attacked and can't even find a suspect, you should be more cautious in the future and stop causing trouble."

"I understand," Jin Dalong said. "I'll be more careful from now on and ensure I won't be attacked again."

"Son, you've grown up, you're an adult now, and you need to learn to be independent, not relying on me and your father for everything," the middle-aged woman said. "Your father is currently in closed-door cultivation, and who knows when he will come out? During this time he's not around, you need to learn to protect yourself."

"Got it," Jin Dalong nodded.

"Go to sleep, I'll come see you again tomorrow." After tucking Jin Dalong in, the middle-aged woman stood up and left.

...

"Madam! I've already sent people to investigate, but the assailant was very careful and didn't leave any clues, which makes it difficult to find him," a man came running from a distance, cupped his fists in his hands, and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged woman.

"I don't care what means you use; you must find the person who attacked my son," the middle-aged woman said coldly. "To dare attack my son, he must have the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard. I will make sure he is torn to pieces!"

"Please rest assured, madam, I will definitely find the perpetrator," the man promised.

"You may leave," the middle-aged woman waved her hand.

"Yes," the man turned and left.

The middle-aged woman looked up at the sky, muttering to herself, "Who exactly attacked my son? And what was their motive? The timing of this incident is just too coincidental; right after Dalong's father began his closed-door cultivation, Dalong got attacked. Is someone trying to warn me?"

It's no wonder the middle-aged woman's thoughts were so complex; the circumstances of Jin Dalong's attack were indeed bizarre.

Jin Dalong had been arrogant and unopposed in the Tianyang Sect for so many years, but he was attacked this time, and it happened right after Jin Chaoyang began his closed-door cultivation. Any rational person would be filled with wild speculations.

Despite the Tianyang Sect appearing harmonious on the surface, there was constant infighting as everyone sought to gain more advantages for themselves.

...

Broad daylight.

Gao Fei was alone, cleaning in the back mountains. Seizing the moment when there was nobody around, Gao Fei quickly took out a Secret Manual and started to look through it. He had obtained this Secret Manual from Jin Dalong, and it detailed how to repair a damaged Dantian.

"So that's how it is," Gao Fei revealed a look of realization. "The Secret Manual of the Tianyang Sect really is extraordinary. If I cultivate according to the spells in it, I can probably repair my Dantian in no time and then recover my cultivation."

Gao Fei's eyes moved quickly across the pages, memorizing all the contents in his mind. After confirming there were no mistakes, he put away the Secret Manual, then picked up the broom and resumed cleaning,

all the while contemplating the profound mysteries of the spell.

Before he knew it, it was noon.

"Gao Fei," Zhu Xiaoliang ran over from a distance. "It's already noon; why are you still cleaning? Come on, let's go have lunch. If we're late, there won't be any food left."

"Ah? It's noon already?" Gao Fei was startled. "Time flies." He had been preoccupied with pondering the mysteries of the spell and hadn't noticed the passage of time. "Let's go, time for lunch."

With that, the two of them walked shoulder to shoulder toward their dwelling in a steady pace.

"You useless piece! How do you clean? Didn't you see this huge pile of trash?" A roar came from ahead, "Are your eyes growing on your backside!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"That's the steward scolding someone," Zhu Xiaoliang frowned. "The one being scolded by the steward is called Hu Yan. He's a very honest man."

"Let's go and have a look," Gao Fei said, pulling Zhu Xiaoliang toward the front.

As they got closer, the voice of the angry cursing became clearer.

"Can't you do the job right? If you can't, then just get lost early; I don't keep useless people around!" the steward Li Chaotian shouted loudly, "You think you can cultivate immortality looking like that? You have no idea how vast the sky and earth are! You're destined to be a menial worker for your whole life!"

"I... I cleaned it up..." Hu Yan muttered.

"Cleaned it up? Then what is this pile of garbage all about?" Li Chaotian asked, "Don't tell me this garbage fell from the sky."

"I really did clean it up," Hu Yan insisted, "I cleaned it twice over... As for how this pile of garbage got here... I'm also puzzled..."

"Enough, stop quibbling here," Li Chaotian said impatiently, waving his hand, "Get this rubbish cleared away immediately. Also, you are to go without food for one day as punishment."

"What? No food for a day?" Hu Yan's face paled, he could handle a tongue-lashing, dealing with garbage was also fine, but not eating for a day was too much. Man is iron, food is steel, skip one meal and you feel hungry, if he didn't eat for a day, Hu Yan was sure he couldn't bear it.

"I can testify, Hu Yan did indeed clean up," Zhu Xiaoliang stepped forward, "This pile of garbage must have appeared after Hu Yan finished cleaning. This is obviously someone framing Hu Yan."

"You're testifying for him?" Li Chaotian sneered, "Why should I believe your words?"

"Steward, my words are absolutely true; if you don't believe me, I can swear it."

"Swearing is fucking useless. If you lie, will heaven really send down thunder to kill you?"

"Steward..."

"Shut your mouth! If you dare to say one more word, I'll punish you too!"

"Steward, this isn't right, Hu Yan is very hardworking, he diligently cleans every day without skimping, it's not fair to punish him without any evidence," Zhu Xiaoliang's stubbornness was coming out.

"Fair?" Li Chaotian laughed angrily, "You dare speak to me about fairness? Did a donkey kick your head? A worthless disciple like you dares talk about fairness with me, what a joke! I'll tell you what fairness is! Fairness belongs to the strong! The weak...

will never get fairness! I am the steward of the storage room, you all work under me, what I say is fairness! If you dare disobey, I will punish you severely!" Li Chaotian raised his hand pointing at Zhu Xiaoliang's nose, emphasizing every word, "You're punished with three days without food!"

"What?" Zhu Xiaoliang's eyes widened, "On what grounds are you punishing me! What did I do wrong?"

"You dare to defy me, insubordination!" Li Chaotian snorted coldly, "In the storage room, I am the law! No one may challenge my authority! Somebody, lock Zhu Xiaoliang up, make sure he is well guarded, and don't let him eat for three days!"

"Whoosh..."

Several people rushed up, taking Zhu Xiaoliang towards the storage room; there was a special solitary cell there, where those who made mistakes would be confined for reflection.

"You can't do this to me! You can't treat me like this!!!" Zhu Xiaoliang struggled desperately, what a joke! Not eating for three days, he'd be starved to death.

"Steward..." Gao Fei stepped forward to plead, "Zhu Xiaoliang was ignorant and disrespected you, please be magnanimous and forgive him this once..."

"This all started because of me, I'm willing to accept any punishment, just please don't be hard on Zhu Xiaoliang," Hu Yan also stepped forward to plead.

"Yeah, let Zhu Xiaoliang go," the other disciples also pleaded, as they were on good terms with Zhu Xiaoliang and couldn't bear to see him suffer.

"All of you shut up! Whoever begs again will be punished too!" Dropping this statement, Li Chaotian stormily left. He was the steward, the boss of the storeroom, anyone who challenged him would be severely punished!

Gao Fei clenched his fists, his eyes extremely cold. Zhu Xiaoliang was his only friend, to be precise, his only friend in Elysium, and now Zhu Xiaoliang was being bullied, and he was helpless to rescue him, making him very upset.

Li Chaotian! You bastard! I won't let you off!

Gao Fei held a grudge against Li Chaotian.

"What should we do, if he doesn't eat for three days, Zhu Xiaoliang will definitely starve to death," Hu Yan lamented with a mournful face.

"It's all because of you!" Gao Fei turned around, glaring at Hu Yan fiercely, "If it wasn't for you, how would Zhu Xiaoliang be punished! Let me tell you, if anything happens to Zhu Xiaoliang, I won't let you off!" After saying these words, Gao Fei turned and left.

"I didn't want it to be like this either." With an urge to cry but no tears, Hu Yan complained, "Who is the cursed soul who threw the garbage here! I curse you and your eighteen generations of ancestors!!!" Even a normally honest person will curse when provoked.

...

Like an ant on a hot pan, Gao Fei couldn't sit still or remain standing, he didn't even have the appetite to eat. He was very worried about Zhu Xiaoliang, and no matter how much he racked his brain, he couldn't think of a way to rescue him, "Xuan Jizi, do you have a way?" In the end, Gao Fei could only ask Xuan Jizi for help, hoping Xuan Jizi could think of a solution.

"No," Xuan Jizi answered crisply, "If your cultivation hadn't been lost, maybe there would have been a way... but now you're just an ordinary person, you can't save Zhu Xiaoliang."

"Then what should I do? Just watch and do nothing?" Gao Fei said anxiously.

"It's Zhu Xiaoliang's fault for being impulsive, had he not confronted Li Chaotian, he wouldn't be in solitary," Xuan Jizi complained, "After all, he brought it upon himself."

"What's the use of saying that now?" Gao Fei said frustratedly.
