The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 337: Doing Everything the Opposite Way


It has to be said, Xiao Feng's behavior is one of the most infuriating things ever.

It's like watching a drama or reading a novel and just when it gets exciting, you find out the drama has been taken down for revision and who knows when it'll be back, while the novel gets a 404 error, it's such a pain!

At this moment, a flash of barely noticeable astonishment flickered in Fujiwara Keiaki's eyes...

In fact, he had always been on guard against the potential dangers around his young miss, but still failed to stop Xiao Feng.

Although there was the excuse of being too close in proximity, Fujiwara Keiaki knew that was just an excuse. If he wanted to talk proximity, who can be closer to Su Yuzhuo than he?

So, in the end, he underestimated Mr. Xiao's capabilities...

After reaching this conclusion, Fujiwara Keiaki didn't make a big fuss, nor did he rush to push Xiao Feng away, knowing that someone would do it for him.

Sure enough, after a moment, Xiao Feng was drawn back by the little girl.

The little girl frowned, scolding irritably, "If you're going to talk, then talk, why get so close?"

Xiao Feng wasn't angry, and explained to Su Yuzhuo, "If Shao Wenxing really is that kind of lecherous person, then he wouldn't have set any conditions at the village entrance, but would have agreed readily instead."

"Why?" Lu Yao asked curiously.

"Because it'd make it easier for him to achieve his goals," Xiao Feng pointed at Su Yuzhuo's leg, "If you can't move your lower body, then there's no reason to treat your upper body; just make up some excuse, opportunities abound."

"What opportunities?" Su Yuzhuo instinctively followed up, but immediately realized she was too quick to speak.

"Opportunities to take advantage, of course," Xiao Feng smiled suggestively, "Like removing pants for a massage or acupuncture. You'd not only have to comply obediently, but also thank him profusely."

At this point, Xiao Feng looked at Zhao Guo'an, "I just realized, your profession isn't bad at all."

Zhao Guo'an's face darkened, but he had to admit, "This kind of phenomenon does exist, but such people don't deserve to be called healers, much less deserve respect."

After speaking, he also felt his argument was feeble.

This is the classic rotten apple spoiling the bunch, some people are half-baked or have no real skills at all, yet the mistakes they make have the entire industry footing the bill.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Guo'an added, "Apart from what Old Xiao just said, Shao Wenxing could also tamper with our food, and if we fall for it, it'd be a total wipeout."

Everyone nodded gravely, these things were foreseeable, but the problem was Shao Wenxing hadn't done so, which was very strange.

"What did you call me?" Xiao Feng frowned.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Guo'an was also displeased, "You call me Old Zhao, but I can't call you Old Xiao?"

Xiao Feng glanced at him, "Heh, if you want, you can even call me dad, and I'd agree."

"..." Zhao Guo'an.

At this moment, Lin Zhiyan spoke up, "The current question is, what exactly is Shao Wenxing's motive for doing this?"

Everyone looked at Xiao Feng in unison, thinking that since he could notice these abnormalities first, he must have some judgment, right?

Xiao Feng pondered, "The specifics are hard to say, but Shao Wenxing definitely doesn't want us to stay. So, the simplest way to deal with it is to do the opposite. The more he doesn't want us to do something, the more we should do it."

Everyone slowly nodded, agreeing with Xiao Feng's statement. Then, they followed Shao Wenxing's previous path of movement.

Unlike Su Yuzhuo's electric wheelchair, Shao Wenxing's "ride" was obviously quite outdated, not only needing manual pushing but also being very slow, so they quickly caught up with him.

"I think you two could have a wheelchair race," Xiao Feng joked to Su Yuzhuo.

Su Yuzhuo responded with a blank stare but said nothing more.

To be honest, the only one who could still joke in this situation was Xiao Feng.

About five minutes later, Xiao Feng and the others saw Shao Wenxing stop in front of a thatched hut.

The hut wasn't large, and many places on the outer picket fence were already decaying. There was no door, and the yard was piled with all sorts of miscellaneous things, presenting a scene of disrepair.

"Should we go in?" the little girl tugged on Xiao Feng's sleeve, asking somewhat timidly.

Just as she finished speaking, there was a creaking sound, exceedingly grating and unpleasant.

"Since we're here, we can't just stay outside all night." Xiao Feng watched as Shao Wenxing pushed open the door and gestured for everyone to follow him into the yard.

They all lined up, following Xiao Feng, because the yard was so cluttered that it felt like there was nowhere to step. A foul odor lingered in the air, making them wary of taking deep breaths.

Xiao Feng also felt a natural aversion to this environment, but considering Shao Wenxing's situation, it seemed the most logical.

If someone who lives alone year after year and can only move his head and arms has a spotless home, that's the real anomaly.

As they walked, they kept observing their surroundings, noticing that most of the garbage in the yard consisted of furniture, as if the owner had thrown all the indoor furniture outside.

At that moment, Zhao Guo'an halted, using his phone for light as he crouched down, frowning at something that looked like a scale bar.

"What's wrong?" Lin Zhiyan, who was behind Zhao Guo'an, asked.

Hearing her voice, Xiao Feng also turned around. Seeing Zhao Guo'an crouching on the ground, he didn't interrupt, silently waiting for an explanation.

However, Zhao Guo'an didn't seem inclined to explain, squatting there and looking at everything as if treasure hunting, completely immersed in his own world.

The group exchanged knowing glances, realizing Zhao Guo'an must've discovered something; otherwise, why would anyone normal rummage through this stuff?

After a while, the little girl suddenly let out a shriek and jumped into Xiao Feng's arms, her body trembling slightly, "Xiao Feng, I saw a rat just now!"

Xiao Feng shook his head with a laugh, patting her back to comfort her. In a place like this piled with garbage, seeing a rat isn't surprising, not to mention a snake.

Besides, as cold-blooded animals, snakes hibernate in winter, who knows when one might pop up.

But he couldn't say that out loud. If a rat was enough to scare her, a snake would be even worse.

However, the little girl's shriek made Zhao Guo'an stop what he was doing, cursing fiercely, "That bastard, he's really something else. Not only quitting the job but also destroying the tools. These are treasures!"
