The Magnificent Son-in-law

Chapter 538: Secret That Can't Be Told


After little person A appeared, little person B jumped out right after, customarily arguing: Don't just use flirting here and there. If the owner is not in the mood, it can be called flirting.

But if the owner is willing, it should be called teasing.

Little person A freaked out and said: How do you know the owner is willing?

Little person B shrugged: Then how can you be so sure that the owner is not willing?

Lin Zhiyan didn't let the little people in her mind continue arguing, she directly tossed them out, then coughed twice, and pointed to Xiao Feng's chest: "The wound… doesn't seem serious, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Feng exaggeratedly covered his chest with one hand and took a sharp breath, saying: "Hiss… It didn't hurt until you mentioned it."

"Can you act any more fake?" Lin Zhiyan had black lines on her forehead.

Xiao Feng immediately felt unhappy: "What do you mean by fake? Should I stab you once to see?"

Lin Zhiyan smiled helplessly and changed the subject: "The lyrics you were reciting just now, which song are they from?"

"Secret That Can't Be Told." Xiao Feng replied briskly.

Lin Zhiyan frowned and snorted: "Don't say if you don't want to."

After speaking, she turned her head and walked away, looking very angry.

Xiao Feng was dumbfounded for a while, feeling he was wrongly accused.

Because "Secret That Can't Be Told" is really the song's name!

At this moment, Su Yuzhuo looked calmly at the rain outside the eaves gradually stopping.

Beside her, there was only Fujiwara Keiaki, looking lonely, in stark contrast to the lively little girl beside her.

But she seemed long accustomed to this, except for Xiao Feng, she wouldn't intentionally approach anyone or any group, as if always having her own rhythm, methodical and unhurried.

"Miss…" Fujiwara Keiaki said softly, looking like he had something to say but hesitated.

Su Yuzhuo glanced at him, and replied with an indifferent expression: "Uncle Fujiwara, just say what you want."

"Actually, it's nothing much. I was just thinking, if your father had obtained that treasure back then, now even our Iwakami Clan's status would be difficult for the Uesugi Clan to match."

While speaking, Fujiwara Keiaki kept observing Su Yuzhuo's reaction, as if hoping to glean her attitude from it.

However, Su Yuzhuo remained calm throughout, showing no fluctuation in either her expression or demeanor, as if she was hearing about something uninteresting.

After waiting for a while, Su Yuzhuo asked: "Finished talking?"

"Uh…" Fujiwara Keiaki hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "Miss, I think we can fully cooperate with Sun Shijie this time.

Specifically speaking, we help Sun Shijie protect the treasure left by his ancestors, and accordingly, he should give us a bit of service fee."

Fujiwara Keiaki knew well that persuading his young lady to kill and rob was unlikely, so he could only use a more subtle way to persuade.

Su Yuzhuo's gaze changed, she had already decided to rebuild the Iwakami Clan, but rebuilding, although it sounds simple, indeed requires capital.

Iwakami Ryoji's reputation might be a plus, but certainly can't alleviate a pressing need.

To gather a large number of people willing to risk their lives just by the identity of Iwakami Ryoji's orphan, he doesn't have such great personal charm.

"I'll consider it." Su Yuzhuo gave an ambiguous answer.

Fujiwara Keiaki's eyes lit up; since she hadn't dismissed the notion outright, it demonstrated that his young lady still had some intention in this regard.

Thinking to this point, Fujiwara Keiaki eagerly suggested: "You can discuss with Xiao Feng; presumably, he also has similar intentions."

This statement wasn't baseless. After all, Fujiwara Keiaki had seen with his own eyes Xiao Feng stuffing gold ingots into his pocket. Such a greedy person wouldn't miss a chance to make money, would they?

In fact, Fujiwara Keiaki suspected that even if he hadn't suggested his young lady urge Xiao Feng, he would have found his own way to exploit Sun Shijie.

The difference would be, if Xiao Feng acted alone, this side would likely receive far fewer benefits.

But if his young lady mentioned it actively, it would certainly increase the distribution of benefits.

After pondering for a while, Su Yuzhuo took a deep breath and stepped towards Xiao Feng.

"Something up?" Xiao Feng glanced at her, leaning against the wall, eyes half-closed, looking utterly lazy, with no tension of preparing to face powerful foes.

Su Yuzhuo smiled lightly, shaking her head, saying: "Nothing, just wanted to chat with you."

"Go ahead then."

"The Devil's Concentration Camp definitely won't let us go."

"So?"

"So I think instead of sitting around waiting for death, it's better to take the initiative; I want to cultivate my own forces, strive to eliminate the Devil's Concentration Camp."

Xiao Feng nodded: "Not a bad idea, worth encouraging."

"I know it's tough, but no matter how tough, it needs to be done…" Seeing Xiao Feng still disinterested, Su Yuzhuo smiled bitterly: "Never mind, let's talk about current matters.

I don't know whether you have a premonition, but I suspect the forces dispatched this time by the Devil's Concentration Camp are unprecedented."

Xiao Feng chuckled lightly: "Anyone could guess that, we're both on their kill list, sending one or two instructors would be no different from sending lambs to the slaughter.

However, since you mentioned premonitions, I might as well share mine."

"Go ahead."

"My premonition is that Iwakami Shigehiro will definitely appear in this operation."

Su Yuzhuo fell silent at once, it's not that she couldn't think of this, she just didn't want to dwell on it.

Just then, the room door swung open.

Sun Shijie walked out emotionlessly, hands spread out, revealing something nail-sized and seemingly chip-like, flashing red light like a breath light.

"I wiped it carefully with alcohol swabs; it's clean." Looking at Xiao Feng's disgusted expression, Sun Shijie explained.

Only then did Xiao Feng lean closer, grabbed a tissue from the little girl, and, using it as a buffer, pinched the chip and handed it to Lu Yao: "You research it."

Lu Yao nodded and pulled out a magnifying glass from her backpack, examined it for a while, then concluded: "This should be a real-time location device, there's a small button on it, pressing it will transmit the location to a designated receiving terminal via the network."

"Do you have any ideas?"

Xiao Feng, who wasn't familiar with this field, decided to let others handle it.

"Transmitting locations requires network signals; I can set a passage at the base station in advance, then press the button on the chip to use the passage to backtrack the location and confirm their position."

Lu Yao adjusted her glasses and continued: "However, this method isn't very accurate; if their signal receiving terminal is at a fixed location, remotely controlling their people, then this won't be effective."

"Whether useful or not, let's try it." Xiao Feng made the decision.

Lu Yao nodded: "I was thinking the same."
