The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 162: Collision


The night was quiet, and the breeze carried fine snow across the ground.

A man and a woman sat together in front of the bar, each holding a bottle of wine, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes laughing heartily, occasionally raising the bottles to drink, reminiscing the past, and lamenting how time flies, no longer in their youth.

The two of them, as if old friends who have known each other for many years, were discussing past events that were never mentioned ordinarily in the icy and snowy night.

Xiao Feng smiled, looking at Han Lengyue, whose cheeks were flushed with wine. He truly did not expect that after drinking, Han Lengyue would become more talkative. Perhaps she was not inherently quiet but was using the wine as a means to release the words that had been suppressed for a long time.

"Do you believe in destiny?" Han Lengyue suddenly asked.

Xiao Feng lowered his gaze and, after a moment of thought, replied, "I believe, but I also don't."

"I didn't believe it before, but now I kind of do. When I was young, my father told me to study hard and not follow the same path, but as long as I can't let go of my hatred, I am bound to walk the path he walked." Han Lengyue laughed bitterly. "Perhaps this is my fate."

"Did you find any clues?" Xiao Feng asked, feeling Han Lengyue's words were strange.

Han Lengyue nodded. "I found some, but I'm still not sure whether the person who killed my father is the same one who framed you."

Xiao Feng was about to ask more, but Han Lengyue suddenly stood up, patted the snow off her clothes, and the intoxication in her eyes gradually disappeared. "I had a great time today. I hope we have another chance to drink together in the snow. I'm leaving!"

After saying this, Han Lengyue turned and left without any reluctance, looking somewhat like a woman of the martial world.

Only after Han Lengyue's silhouette disappeared from his sight did Xiao Feng finish the last sip from his bottle, lock the bar's door, and head off in the opposite direction.

No matter who secretly framed him those years ago, they must pay with blood!

The heavy snow soon covered their footprints, as if no one had ever been there, except for the bottles at the bar entrance, proving someone had once drank there...

...

The next morning, Xiao Feng arrived at the police station, only to see a stunning sports car parked in the courtyard. All the passing officers couldn't help but steal glances, their eyes filled with unmistakable envy.

Xiao Feng immediately understood that this must be the limited edition luxury car owned by Chang Xinyan. He quickly walked over to the car, admiring it and marveling at how a good car is truly a good car!

Wang Qiang was startled upon seeing this and hurriedly ran down the steps to warn him, "Feng, it's best if you don't touch this car. I heard that even just a fingernail-sized scratch on the paint can cost tens of thousands. It'd be a real pain if it gets damaged."

Xiao Feng casually replied, "There's no need to be so delicate. Cars are meant to be driven, after all. Besides, why wouldn't I touch my own car?"

Wang Qiang's eyes widened in doubt, thinking he must have heard wrong. Did Xiao Feng say this car is his?!

Once Wang Qiang realized it, he saw Xiao Feng had already entered the police station.

A passing officer patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder, "Stop staring, Qiang. In our lifetime, we probably can't even afford half a car like this. Watching too much will only mess with your mindset. No one knows whose car this is; it arrived this morning but hasn't been driven away yet."

"I know." Wang Qiang sighed.

"Know what?"

"I know whose car it is."

The officer, with a knowing look, smiled, "Stop kidding around. If you knew someone rich like that, why would you still be working here?"

Wang Qiang replied seriously, "I not only know the owner, but you also know them."

Seeing Wang Qiang wasn't joking, the officer became serious, "Whose is it?"

"It's Feng's." Wang Qiang sighed. He had guessed before that Xiao Feng might be quite wealthy, but now it seems that he was even wealthier than imagined, given this limited edition sports car!

The officer across from him wasn't surprised to show a look of shock, "Holy shit!"

Holy shit!

These two words represented the sentiments of most people.

No one thought that Xiao Feng, who usually needed reimbursements for taxi fares, would actually own such a luxurious sports car.

What on earth is this? The wealthier, the more they keep it under wraps?

In the office, Song Keren saw Xiao Feng come in and immediately threw the keys over with a slight annoyance, "Hurry up and take your car away. I've already received two calls from upstairs. If you don't move the car soon, it's going to get towed."

Xiao Feng chuckled, "Want to go for a drive with me?"

Seeing Xiao Feng's smug look, Song Keren couldn't help but feel a bit irritated, "You go by yourself. If you get caught driving without a license, don't expect me to bail you out."

"How do you know I don't have a license?" Xiao Feng replied, unhappy. "I got my license a long time ago. Whether you join or not is up to you."

After speaking, he looked at Mu Shihan and Lu Yao, "Come on, let's go for a ride."

Mu Shihan cheered, her eyes curving like crescents, while Lu Yao continued staring at the laptop screen, "You guys go ahead. I have a few more codes to write."

Usually, Lu Yao would be eager to go out with Xiao Feng, but once she was immersed in her digital world, she was completely focused, and aside from bathroom needs, she could even skip meals.

This ability to focus is why she could become a genius.

Xiao Feng walked over and closed the laptop screen, "Balance work and rest. Come out with me to relax and clear your mind."

With that, he took Lu Yao's hand and walked out.

Lu Yao gazed at her hand held by Xiao Feng, her cheeks turning red, her heart pounding. She greeted Song Keren before letting Xiao Feng lead her out.

Xiao Feng holding Lu Yao with his left hand and Mu Shihan with his right was enough to draw attention. Not to mention, he was with a limited edition sports car.

At this point, the officers who had intended to pursue Xiao Feng felt embarrassed when they saw Lu Yao and Mu Shihan.

"Xiao Feng, where did you borrow this car from?" Mu Shihan asked curiously from the passenger seat.

"What do you mean by borrowing? It's mine." Xiao Feng replied and explained how Chang Xinyan had invited him for dinner.

As for the star-rated hotel, Xiao Feng decided to let Zhou Jiwen manage it since he had helped him before, and the saying goes, 'a drop of water should be returned with a spring,' after all.

However, just then, a Honda in the right lane suddenly sped up and cut in front of Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng promptly braked and slowed down, not really minding. Some people's driving habits are simply unethical, just like those who use high beams at night and refuse to switch.

Yet after passing a traffic light, Xiao Feng realized something was wrong. The Honda ahead was weaving left and right, deliberately blocking him, eventually reducing its speed to just twenty miles an hour, moving leisurely.

This drew the attention of many, and many people slowed down to watch the show.

"This is too much, deliberately blocking us from going!" Mu Shihan said angrily.

Just then, the Honda ahead opened its sunroof, revealing a young man, smiling mischievously, "Hey there, wanna swap cars for a bit?"

"Why on earth would we swap with you?" Mu Shihan lowered the folding roof and said sternly.

Upon seeing Mu Shihan and Lu Yao, the young man's eyes lit up, "Wow, beauties indeed. Just swapping cars, don't be so stingy. If you don't agree, we'll just wait it out here."

With that, he further reduced the speed to ten miles an hour.

Lu Yao was also frustrated. These people were clearly being unreasonable. Looking at the smile on the young man's face ahead, she wished she could punch him.

Xiao Feng smirked, "With people like these, reasoning is useless. Buckle up."

And the young man ahead obviously didn't see the danger approaching; he continued to laugh cheekily, "If not swapping cars, how about swapping the girls in the cars?"

Just as the words left his mouth, there was a sudden roar, the engine's growl like a beast's roar. Xiao Feng accelerated swiftly, charging straight at the Honda.

The Honda's driver was utterly unprepared for Xiao Feng's aggressive move, not expecting him to not stop but accelerate for impact. Panicking, he floored the accelerator, turning the steering wheel right, trying to avoid the collision.

However, no matter how fast he was, his acceleration couldn't match a sports car. After a loud "bang," the two cars crashed directly.
