Chapter 155: Is It Miss Xiao Ling?
Lu Xiao, with Shao Jinpeng's support, barely got to his feet.
Shao Jinpeng, though having reservations, also knew Lu Xiao's nature and dared not cause any delay.
Half an hour later, a black off‑road vehicle stopped at the gate of the Su Family Villa.
Lu Xiao, Shao Jinpeng and Duan Fei got out of the car and walked straight toward the villa's main gate, openly revealing their identities to the security personnel outside.
The guard dared not block them and went straight inside to report.
"How could members of the Dragon Group be here?"
Su Xueyan, hearing the report, looked at Jiang Feng with some doubt.
Although the Dragon Group is a privileged domestic institution, the Su Family rarely has contact with it; why would it suddenly show up at their doorstep?
Jiang Feng heard this, raised his eyebrows slightly, and a vague suspicion formed in his mind.
While speaking, Lu Xiao and the others had already entered the courtyard.
When Shao Jinpeng saw Jiang Feng, his gaze instantly turned sharp.
"Jiang Feng!"
Shao Jinpeng stepped forward, his tone unfriendly.
"We suspect you of harboring the serious offender Ling Zhaixing; hand the person over immediately! Otherwise, don't blame the Dragon Group for being impolite! Harboring a serious offender is a capital crime; you'd better consider the consequences!"
He had previously held a grudge against Jiang Feng because of the Yun Mengrou incident, and now finally found an opportunity, so he naturally wouldn't let him go easily.
His voice was loud, carrying an overbearing aura that shattered the courtyard's tranquility.
Su Lao's complexion darkened, and he stood up to say.
"Gentlemen, you may eat as you wish, but you must not speak recklessly! Jiang Feng is our Su Family's son‑in‑law; how could he possibly harbor a serious offender?"
Su Xueyan also hurriedly stood by Jiang Feng's side.
"Exactly! Jiang Feng has always been with us and has never met anyone named Ling Zhaixing; you cannot slander him out of thin air!"
She vaguely guessed that Ling Zhaixing might be Xiao Ling, but for now she chose to trust Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng looked at Shao Jinpeng's arrogant demeanor and let a hint of a playful smile appear on his face.
He had originally thought Lu Xiao came to thank him for the Life‑saving Benefactor, but unexpectedly he came to raise arms and accuse him.
"Harboring a serious offender?"
Jiang Feng let out a light laugh, his eyes full of contempt.
"Shao Jinpeng, when you speak you must provide evidence. You say I harbor Ling Zhaixing; where is the evidence?"
"Evidence?"
Shao Jinpeng let out a cold laugh.
"We have found that Ling Zhaixing previously appeared at the Su Family; that is the best evidence! Apart from you, who else would harbor her?"
He said this while stepping forward, reaching out to grab Jiang Feng's arm.
"Come with us back to the Dragon Group for a thorough interrogation; I won't believe we can't get the truth!"
However, as soon as his hand touched Jiang Feng's arm, Jiang Feng immediately flung his hand away.
Shao Jinpeng, seeing this, grew even angrier and, without hesitation, reached out to grab Jiang Feng's collar, trying to forcefully take him away.
Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Lu Xiao beside him, and said with a cold smile.
"Is this the Dragon Group's way of operating? Grabbing people indiscriminately without any distinction?"
Lu Xiao stood by the side the whole time, saying nothing.
Her gaze fixed tightly on Jiang Feng, filled with doubt.
The man before her always gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
But when she thought carefully, she still couldn't recall where she had seen Jiang Feng.
Hearing Jiang Feng's words and seeing Shao Jinpeng's such impulsiveness.
Lu Xiao frowned and shouted sternly, "Shao Jinpeng! Stop!"
Shao Jinpeng was startled for a moment and looked at Lu Xiao with some unwillingness.
"Chief, this kid clearly has issues; we can't let him go!"
Although Shao Jinpeng felt discontent, he dared not defy Lu Xiao's order, so he angrily released his grip and glared fiercely at Jiang Feng.
Only then did Lu Xiao step forward and pull a photograph from his pocket.
She handed the photo to Jiang Feng, her tone calm.
"Mr. Jiang, we mean no harm; this is routine procedure. May I ask whether you have seen the person in this photo? She is named Ling Zhaixing, a suspect we are currently investigating."
Jiang Feng lowered his head, glanced at the photo, and instantly understood.
It seemed that Ling Zhaixing's disappearance had nothing to do with the Dragon Group.
He lifted his head, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Sorry, I haven't seen her."
"You're lying! We clearly found that Ling Zhaixing came to the Su Family; how could you not have seen her? I think you're deliberately hiding it!"
Shao Jinpeng immediately retorted.
"Chief, stop wasting words with him; seize him and take him back for severe interrogation; I won't believe he won't tell the truth!"
"Shao Jinpeng!"
Lu Xiao again shouted at him, her eyes full of impatience.
"I said, you must have evidence when handling matters!"
Jiang Feng looked at Shao Jinpeng's restless stance and couldn't help but laugh.
"Shao Jinpeng, could it be that because of the Yun Mengrou incident you're deliberately targeting me? That said, is this how the Dragon Group treats a Life‑saving Benefactor?"
"Life‑saving Benefactor?"
Lu Xiao heard this, his eyes instantly hardened, and the doubt in his heart grew stronger.
She stared at Jiang Feng, her gaze burning, and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Feng did not answer directly, but a hint of a profound smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
And Lu Xiao, looking at Jiang Feng's smile, suddenly saw a vague fragment flash in his mind.
Her heartbeat quickened a few beats; could the one who saved her really be Jiang Feng?
Shao Jinpeng said angrily, "Group Leader Lu, don't be fooled; this guy is a waste, how could he possibly have saved anyone from our Dragon Group?"
Jiang Feng, however, did not expect Lu Xiao to be especially grateful to him.
He did not continue the topic, merely said lightly.
"Group Leader Lu, if there are no other matters, I think you can leave. Xue Yan and I still have business, so we won't entertain you."
Lu Xiao did not move, still staring tightly at Jiang Feng, as if trying to read something from his face.
Her intuition told her Jiang Feng was definitely not ordinary.
But she also knew that asking further would yield nothing, especially since Shao Jinpeng and Jiang Feng harbored a personal grudge; continuing would only make others think the Dragon Group was unprofessional.
Thus, she waved her hand and shouted, "Dismiss the team."
When leaving, she still gave Jiang Feng a deep look.
"If you truly have met Ling Zhaixing, please let us know. She is involved in a very important matter concerning many people's safety."
"I told you, I haven't seen her."
Jiang Feng's tone remained flat, without any relaxation.
Lu Xiao looked at his steadfast eyes, knowing further questions would lead nowhere.
She inhaled deeply and nodded.
"Alright, we trust Mr. Jiang. If later you recall anything, or have news about Ling Zhaixing, please contact us promptly."
She said this while handing over a Business Card.
Jiang Feng took the Business Card, casually slipped it into his pocket, and said nothing.
Shao Jinpeng watched the scene, his heart full of resentment.
But he dared not defy Lu Xiao's order, and could only glare fiercely at Jiang Feng.
Then he turned with Lu Xiao and Duan Fei, and left the Su Family Villa.
Watching their retreating backs, Su Xueyan exhaled a sigh, turned to Jiang Feng, and looked somewhat serious.
"Jiang Feng, the Ling Zhaixing they mentioned, is she Miss Xiao Ling?"
