The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 550 - 0: Astute Woman

As the sky began to darken, Ding Xue finished her classes with her classmates and was preparing to return to the dormitory balcony to wait for a letter from Long Fei.

Only the devil knows whether his paper crane came with an automatic positioning system. If it only knew to fly to the balcony, that would be troublesome.

Just as she arrived at the base of the dormitory building, two burly men alighted from a luxury car and stretched out their hands to block her path.

Her brows lifted instinctively as she reached for the gun at her waist, but she managed to restrain herself.

A woman clad in a black wrap-around mini skirt descended from the car, her long hair elegantly styled, and with a crimson lipstick smirk, she said with a light laugh, "You’re Long Fei’s girlfriend, aren’t you?"

Ding Xue nodded and put on a timid expression as she asked, "Who are you people?"

The woman replied, "Don’t be afraid. My name is Jin Feng. I used to be from the art department just like you. Can we find a place to talk?"

"Over there?"

Ding Xue pointed to a gazebo in a nearby garden.

Jin Feng nodded and followed her there.

Once seated, Jin Feng introduced herself, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m the manager of the Golden Phoenix Nightclub. You might not know about your boyfriend’s situation, right?"

Ding Xue put on an indignant expression and said, "Don’t mention him to me, it’s over between us. That night, he left me alone and walked away, and now he hasn’t even called me once. The police have come to see me twice, saying that he’s now wanted. I really was blind, to get to know such a swindler."

Her actions and expressions were completely professional.

Jin Feng tossed her hair with a smile and asked her, "How long have you known him? What did he do before?"

Ding Xue complained, "I haven’t known him for long. I rented a place outside and would stay there for a couple of days when I wasn’t busy with classes. He and I stayed in the same yard, and we got to know each other over time. He worked as a bodyguard for a company’s CEO; I thought he was an honest person, but who knew he would be so unreliable."

Jin Feng said, "May I visit the place where you two lived?"

Ding Xue furrowed her brows and put on a wary look as she said, "What exactly are you trying to do? Why should I take you there?"

Jin Feng explained, "To be honest, my husband disappeared that night along with your boyfriend. I suspect they were kidnapped, so I want to check if I can find any clues there."

"Kidnapping?"

Ding Xue touched her head and frowned as she said, "The police didn’t say that, did they? They said that guy killed someone and is on the run."

Jin Feng replied, "That’s just what the police suspect, they don’t have any evidence yet. That’s why I want to find evidence to clear their names of these wrongful accusations."

Her words were impeccable, and Ding Xue couldn’t help but admire her; she was indeed from Gao Wushan’s circle.

After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and said, "Alright then, let’s go have a look!"

She acted just like a naive and unguarded young girl as she got into the car with Jin Feng.

On the way, Jin Feng made conversation, "Your spending for school must be substantial; your family must be really wealthy, right?"

"It’s okay," Ding Xue said casually as she clenched her small hands and unnaturally turned her head towards the window, taking on a coy little girl demeanor.

Already half-assured, Jin Feng relaxed; the other half would have to be confirmed at the rental house.

When they arrived, He Yan had just returned with her daughter.

Upon seeing Ding Xue, she asked happily, "Lady Ding Dang, are classes over?"

"Yes," Ding Xue smiled and nodded, gesturing for Jin Feng to follow her upstairs.

Jin Feng gave He Yan a nod and a faint smile, instructed the bodyguards to stay downstairs, and proceeded upstairs with Ding Xue.

Ding Xue showed her Long Fei’s room, with a lock hanging on the door.

She opened her own door and invited Jin Feng to take a look inside.

All police-related items in her room had already been tidied away.

She reached under the sofa for a toolbox, pulled out an axe, and turned to Jin Feng, "Should we break his lock open?"

Jin Feng hurriedly waved her hands, indicating that there was no need for such commotion as long as Ding Xue’s words proved true.

She said to Ding Xue, "That’s fine, I’ll contact you if anything comes up! I’ll leave you my phone number, so you can tell me if anything happens."

Ding Xue nodded and memorized her phone number.

After Jin Feng left the building, she didn’t depart but went over to chat with He Yan for a bit and inquired about Long Fei’s situation.

He Yan told the truth, which was consistent with what Ding Xue had said.

Her vigilance seemed to be on a higher level, constantly asking Jin Feng what she wanted to do and whether it was about money that Long Fei owed her.

That small-town mentality can’t be faked.

Jin Feng left contentedly, letting Ding Xue, who observed from above, breathe a sigh of relief.

She suddenly felt that this woman was much shrewder than Gao Wushan. She never beat around the bush, managing to extract what she wanted in just a few words.

Her face radiated a strong sense of confidence, as if no one could pretend under her scrutinous eyes.

Not long after Jin Feng departed, Ding Xue also returned to the university dorms. Upon entering, she first checked the balcony.

Only after confirming there was no paper crane did she feel relieved enough to pull up a stool and sit outside.

The feeling was vague and expectant, empty and unsettling enough to leave one restless.

After a while, a brightness caught her eye.

Under the dormitory’s dim light, a paper crane indeed came flying from afar, landing in her palm.

She quickly unfolded it, and the message read, "Missing your brother? Don’t worry, I’m fine. Went to Temple of Spiritual Mountain today to pray and even enjoyed a hot spring. Remember to check on a lawyer named Zhang Zhiyuan, he’s our gang’s third-in-command and Gao Wushan’s brain."

Ding Xue bit her lip and giggled with excitement, quickly scribbling a reply, "Jin Feng came looking for you today, this woman is not easy to deal with, be careful."

After a moment’s thought, she added another line, "Try to be less arrogant and more sincere, got it?"

Releasing the paper crane, Ding Xue stretched out comfortably, as if having completed a mission, then went inside and lay on her bed.

Her roommates, observing, began to giggle and teased her, "Lady Ding Dang, who are you chatting with on the balcony every night?"

"Who’s stolen the heart of our campus beauty?"

"Boss lady, who’s your brother-in-law, come on, spill the beans!"

A blush crept onto Ding Xue’s face as she waved them off, exclaiming, "Go away, go to sleep, what’s it to you!"

She turned over, took out her small body, and reported the situation to Director Wei Dongming.

Previously, the police had no idea someone named Zhang Zhiyuan even existed.

After Long Fei recovered the paper crane, he couldn’t help but smile at Ding Xue’s delicate handwriting, then waved the crane into his Storage Ring.

Paper Crane Messaging, a simple Technique in the Cultivation World.

It involved imbuing one’s spiritual power into a paper crane, which then could soar through space, quite similar to sleepwalking, considered a basic version of Soul Ascension.

Of course, there were limitations to the distance a paper crane could travel, and it required specific weather conditions.

After all, only a small amount of spiritual power could be attached to it.

If it was made from a specially constructed paper capable of storing ample spiritual power, it could indeed fly hundreds of miles without any issues.
