Feng Xiao was shaken badly from his father's sudden outburst, even his legs trembled without his own knowledge. Only the heavens know that he had not seen his father this angry in years! Without daring to enquire further, he coaxed: "Alright, alright, don't be so angry, I'll immediately get someone to bring her over."Afterwhich he quickly instructed the Steward to bring his daughter over.At the same moment, in the courtyard of Feng Qing Ge, a middle aged man appeared soundlessly before the door to her room as he called out: "Mistress."When Feng Qing Ge had heard the voice, she was slightly startled but immediately said: "Come in."The man moved as quick as a flash and appeared right before her. She was sitting by the table and he went forward and lowered his voice into a whisper: "Old Patriarch Feng has been found and the moment he came back, he hollered to see Mistress. The Steward is on his way over as we speak, looking at this unusual situation, I've specially came forward to re

Ye Qing was resting and waiting on the third floor until the commotion began. He opened his eyes, and Kung Fu Frog leaped to its feet. Sounds like a kid, he deduced after listening for a bit.“Time to go downstairs and pay our mysterious ghost a visit, Brother Frog!” Ye Qing whispered as he gently opened the door. After Kung Fu Frog had leaped onto his shoulder, he slipped out without a sound and reached the first floor in just a matter of seconds.Ye Qing thought he was stealthy enough, but the sound vanished as soon as he reached the main hall. All was silent as if nothing had happened.“It’s pretty alert, isn’t it?” A small smile crept on Ye Qing’s face as he felt around with his senses. Strangely, he could not sense any discomfiting aura in the bookstore. The fact that the ghost sounded crisp, clear and bright also contradicted the claims that a ghost was haunting this bookstore.Suddenly, Kung Fu Frog leaped off his shoulder and made a grab for a book on the bookshelf to his righ

“Boss Ye! How did you…” Zhou Fu exclaimed in surprise when he turned around and saw Ye Qing standing behind them. The young man was wearing a serene, laid-back smile on his face.“I followed you, of course!” Ye Qing replied.“Boss Ye, did you just say you can treat my son?” Zhou Fu’s wife pushed past her husband and grabbed Ye Qing’s arms.He nodded. “Yes, I can!”Overjoyed, she begged, “Please save my son, Boss Ye! I beg you!”Zhou Fu was just as worried as his wife, but unlike her he was a little less trusting. “Are you sure, Boss Ye?” He asked suspiciously. It was understandable. Ye Qing was just too young.Ye Qing paid his suspicion no heed and answered amiably, “Do not worry, Boss Zhou. As a scholar, I always put my money where my mouth is!”Once again, his wife shoved Zhou Fu aside and pulled Ye Qing all the way to the bed. Like a drowning woman on her last straw, she begged, “There is no time! Please examine Hui’er already, Boss Ye!”Ye Qing obediently sat down beside the bed a

The group of three had just arrived at the entrance when the doors of the Qiao residence suddenly opened without warning. It would seem that they were expected.Ye Qing wasn’t surprised by this. In fact, he wasn’t surprised by what happened next. As soon as they crossed over the threshold, the doors slammed shut behind them, and Qiao Shanhu and Qiao Shanpao abruptly bolted away from him in different directions as if they knew this would happen. The next moment, dozens of men wearing form-fitting outfits and wielding swords and sabers surrounded him from all sides.“Not bad, not bad! I love how you welcome your guests!” said Ye Qing with a knowing smirk on his face. In fact, he noticed that Qiao Shanhu and Qiao Shanpao had made a number of hand gestures to a few beggars who “happened” to cross their paths a while ago. He had no doubt that those beggars had passed on a message to Qiao Six, which was why the information broker was able to prepare such a “nice” welcome for him.The two me

“Oh, so it’s my fault? I knew I should’ve kept my mouth shut.”Qiao Six was a wise man. He figured out Ye Qing’s scheme as soon as he revealed his objective. What was done could not be undone, so the only thing he could do now was to see it through until the end.Plus, it wasn’t like Ye Qing was asking him to do the impossible. The young man only wanted him to keep his secret, and a man of his trade naturally hoarded plenty of secrets. One more wouldn’t kill him.Besides that, he stood to profit from the Zheng Clan’s demise as well. Assuming that Ye Qing succeeded in his endeavor, he would be first in line to partake in the cake that was the Zheng Clan’s businesses and connections. It would also earn him the trust—not this fake relationship they had now, but real trust—a young man with a promising future. All things considered, it was a win-win situation for both of them.It wasn’t hard for Qiao Six to come to a decision after he had sorted out his thoughts. “You’ve put me in hot enou
