Chapter 61: The Su Family Was Robbed

Jiang Feng leaned on the sofa in Shen Junyao's apartment for a while, and when the internal heat had completely subsided, he finally stood up.

"It's getting late, I should go back; thanks for your help today."

"Oh... okay, then I'll escort you downstairs."

Shen Junyao, as if waking from a dream, spoke with a hint of sadness she herself hadn't even noticed.

The two walked side by side downstairs.

Shen Junyao couldn't help but ask softly, "You... that thing, the Kun Long inside you, is it really okay now? Otherwise..."

She wanted to say that Jiang Feng could stay here tonight, so that if anything happened, she could look after him.

But the words got stuck at her lips and she couldn't say them.

"Don't worry, it's stable for now."

Jiang Feng said seriously.

"Thank you really today; without you, I might have truly lost control."

"You're welcome, we're friends after all."

Shen Junyao brushed her hair aside and said shyly.

If Shen Junyao's colleagues at the police station saw this scene, they'd drop their jaws.

The famed Female Tyrant Dragon of Jiangcheng's police world, when did she ever become so gentle!

……

After saying goodbye to Shen Junyao, Jiang Feng hailed a car and headed straight back to the Su Family.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the lights at the villa's entrance still on.

Su Xueyan was at that moment pacing back and forth at the doorway.

"Jiang Feng! You're back! Are you okay? I called you earlier and you didn't answer, I thought something had happened."

"I'm fine; the signal was bad at Officer Shen's place earlier."

Jiang Feng walked over, followed her into the villa, and asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I've been waiting for you."

Su Xueyan, with a concerned expression, said, "Grandpa hasn't slept either; we all know you were taken away today by the Dragon Lord's men."

The Black Gold Society—it's one of the most terrifying factions in all of Jiangcheng.

Even the four great aristocratic families refuse extensive contact with it.

When she first learned that Jiang Feng had been taken by Chen E of the Black Gold Society, Su Xueyan even wondered what price would be needed to ransom Jiang Feng back.

Jiang Feng was moved when he heard that.

The two immediately entered the house and indeed saw Su Lao sitting anxiously in the courtyard.

Seeing Jiang Feng return safely, Su Lao finally smiled broadly: "You're back? That's good! I made countless calls today... but couldn't get any news about you."

Su Lao felt very helpless.

Since the Su Family was left only with him and the grandfather–grandson pair Su Xueyan, the once top aristocratic house of Jiangcheng now truly has only an empty name.

Moreover, the Black Gold Society's power is overwhelming.

No one is willing to get involved; even if he wants to save Jiang Feng, he's powerless.

Jiang Feng, seeing Old Master's worried face, felt even more moved.

He briefly recounted what happened with the Black Gold Society, and the grandfather–grandson pair were stunned.

"You mean the Black Gold Society will completely withdraw from the jianghu in the future?"

Su Lao asked in disbelief.

That's the Black Gold Society! And Jiang Feng just swept it away like that?

Jiang Feng calmly nodded, "Yes, the Black Gold Society will never trouble the Su Family again, but..."

"But what...?"

Hearing Jiang Feng hesitate, Su Lao's heart was stirred again.

Jiang Feng got straight to the point: "Su Lao, Xue Yan, although the Black Gold Society has fallen, I need to use the Mysterious Warm Jade Essence for a certain matter."

"Mysterious Warm Jade Essence? Sure."

Su Lao, thinking it was something serious, pounded his chest and said.

"Wait here; I'll take you to the Underground Chamber right now! It's stored in the safe in the Underground Chamber."

Su Xueyan also stood up, watching Jiang Feng with concern.

"What exactly is the reason you need the Mysterious Warm Jade Essence?"

It's not that I'm worried about the Mysterious Warm Jade Essence.

It's truly out of concern.

"Don't worry too much; it's just a minor issue, like yours."

Jiang Feng smiled vaguely and brushed it off.

Su Xueyan didn't believe it, but didn't probe further and said, "Then let's go down together and take a look."

……

The three headed toward the Underground Chamber.

The Su family's Underground Chamber is specifically used to store important items.

The door of the Underground Chamber is forged from refined iron, making it hard to breach even with explosives.

The door is secured with the most advanced keypad lock.

And this code, even Su Xueyan doesn't know yet.

Soon, Su Lao entered the code, the door opened, and the Underground Chamber instantly became brilliantly bright.

But Su Xueyan frowned and said, "Grandpa, why is it so messy here?"

Jiang Feng and Su Lao also looked over.

The floor of the Underground Chamber was in utter disarray, as if someone had just turned it over.

At the far end, the insurance cabinet's door was surprisingly ajar, and inside it was completely empty, even the brocade box that held the Mysterious Warm Jade Marrow was gone.

"What… what happened?"

Su Lao hurried to the insurance cabinet, reached out and touched the cabinet door, his fingers trembling.

"Just a few days ago I checked, the Mysterious Warm Jade Marrow was clearly inside, locked tightly—how could this happen?"

Jiang Feng walked over, crouched to examine the lock core of the insurance cabinet, his fingertips tracing the metallic scratches along the lock's edge, his brow furrowing even tighter.

"The lock was pried open with professional tools; an ordinary thief couldn't do it—someone must have come prepared."

Looking around, besides the Mysterious Warm Jade Marrow, several other items had also vanished.

"Grandpa, it must be a family thief…"

Su Xueyan's complexion darkened.

"Aside from us Su Family members, no one else could possibly enter the Underground Chamber."

In fact, Su Xueyan had a thought unsaid: even Su Family members find it hard to enter the Secret Room.

Because the code is only held by Su Lao.

Su Lao also nodded, "If it's a family thief, then it's those good‑for‑nothing fellows!"

Su Lao thought of a possibility.

It was his several underachieving nephews and nieces.

Since the last time Su Lao stripped them of their positions at the company, they've been whining all day, even coming to the villa to beg to see Su Lao.

Although Su Lao had people send them away, this sort of thing seemed only they could pull off.

Those good‑for‑nothings!

Stealing a little wouldn't bother Su Lao.

The Su Family is vast and powerful; they don't care about such things.

But how could they dare steal the Mysterious Warm Jade Marrow!

That thing can cure a granddaughter's Cold Poison!

"Su Lao, drawing a conclusion now is still premature."

Jiang Feng wasn't so hasty, because he could sense that the person who entered the Underground Chamber was quite extraordinary.

Although the items were scattered, not a single aura remained.

This individual is at least a Lightness Skill master.

And such a person, even the few useless ones in the Su Family couldn't manage.

Not only could they not do it, they probably couldn't even hire such people.

Therefore, the one who stole the Mysterious Warm Jade Marrow must have another origin.

But professional matters should still be left to professionals.

Thinking that, Jiang Feng made a phone call.

"Hello, Jiang Feng, what's up? Has your Kun Long flared up again?"

As soon as the line connected, Shen Junyao's anxious voice came through.

"It's not that something happened to me."

Jiang Feng smiled, "I need to report a theft, Officer Shen, the Su Family… has been robbed."
