Chapter 64: The Arrogant Kid

Jiang Feng was not surprised by this result.

After all, the person who left traces at the scene was clearly no ordinary figure.

So after hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng told Su Xueyan the result.

Su Xueyan was currently sitting on the sofa, on the phone with Su Xiaonuan.

Hearing this news, she immediately told Su Xiaonuan excitedly.

"Xiaonuan, don't worry, the Technical Team has already cleared your dad of suspicion. We're going to pick him up right now."

"That's wonderful! Thank you, Sister Xueyan."

Su Xiaonuan also responded happily.

The two drove to the entrance of the City Defense Office.

They had just stopped when they saw Su Xiaonuan standing by the roadside, carrying a thermal bucket in her hand — probably food she had brought for Su Jianlong.

"Sister Xueyan, Brother Jiang Feng!"

Su Xiaonuan saw them and hurried over.

"Let's go, Inside to pick up your dad."

Su Xueyan took her hand and walked toward the City Defense Office.

Before long, Su Jianlong came out from Inside, head hanging low.

His hair was a mess and he looked especially haggard — clearly, his time Inside had not been pleasant.

"Dad!"

Su Xiaonuan hurried over and handed him the thermal bucket.

"I brought you some congee. You must be hungry."

But Su Jianlong didn't take it at all, didn't even glance at her, and walked straight toward the entrance, muttering nonstop from his Mouth.

"So humiliating! Hauled in here like a thief — how am I supposed to hold my head up in front of my relatives from now on!"

Tears instantly welled up in Su Xiaonuan's eyes.

"Dad, I know you feel wronged, but everything's fine now, isn't it? Please don't be like this, okay?"

Su Jianlong still ignored her, not even breaking his stride.

He soon reached the roadside, hailed a taxi, and got in — without even opening the door for Su Xiaonuan.

Su Xiaonuan stood there, Tears falling nonstop, looking utterly pitiful.

Su Xueyan hurried over and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Xiaonuan, don't be sad. Your dad is just in a bad mood. He'll be fine in a couple of days."

Su Xiaonuan wiped her Tears, still choking with sobs.

"But he wouldn't even take the congee I brought… I know he loves to gamble, but he's never been this harsh to me before…"

Seeing Su Xiaonuan's aggrieved look, Su Xueyan's heart ached even more. She took her hand.

"Why don't you come back to the Su Family with me tonight? You can sleep in my room, and we can talk too."

Su Xiaonuan was taken aback.

"Is that really okay? Won't it be trouble for you, Sister Xueyan?"

"No trouble at all."

Su Xueyan said with Laughter, "I sleep alone anyway, so it's a bit lonely."

Jiang Feng watched from the side without saying much.

He just felt that something was slightly off, but couldn't put his finger on it.

The three returned to the Su Family together.

Su Lao knew it wasn't Su Jianlong and didn't say anything, just waved his hand and went back to his room to rest.

Su Xueyan found a set of her own pajamas for Su Xiaonuan, and after the two washed up, they returned to the room to rest.

After washing up, Jiang Feng returned to his own room, lay on the bed, his Brain constantly thinking about the Profound Warm Jade Marrow.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time without any clue, Jiang Feng gave up, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

……

The next morning.

Jiang Feng had been up for a long time without seeing Su Xueyan or Su Xiaonuan get up, which surprised him a little.

It wasn't until around past Nine that Su Xueyan and Su Xiaonuan came rushing out of the room in a fluster.

"Why are you up so late? Don't you usually get up at seven?"

Hearing Jiang Feng's question, Su Xueyan also looked puzzled.

"I don't know what happened. Maybe it was the Calming Tea I drank last night. I slept so deeply I didn't even hear the alarm."

Su Xiaonuan's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help blurting out.

"Sister Xueyan, I'm going to be late for school!"

Su Xueyan's face was full of apology.

"I have to go to the company for a morning meeting too, so I don't have time to drop you off. How about you take a taxi, Xiaonuan?"

Su Xiaonuan looked conflicted. "I'm afraid it won't be easy to get a taxi right now either."

"I'll take her."

Jiang Feng spoke Suddenly: "I happen to be free today, so I'll drop her off at school on the way."

"Really? That's great!"

Su Xiaonuan's eyes lit up, and she said quickly, "Thank you, Brother Jiang Feng!"

Su Xueyan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll be asking a favor of you, Jiang Feng."

"No problem."

Jiang Feng waved his hand and walked out with Su Xiaonuan.

The two got into the car, Su Xiaonuan sat in the passenger seat, and they said little the whole way.

Occasionally Jiang Feng asked about her school, and she gave only brief answers, seeming a bit absent‑minded.

Jiang Feng didn't think much of it, assuming she was worried about Su Jianlong and afraid of being late to school, hence the nervousness.

Jiangcheng Third Middle School.

When Jiang Feng and the others arrived, many students were already walking in through the gate.

"We've arrived, hurry inside, don't be late."

"Thanks, Brother Jiang Feng!"

Su Xiaonuan quickly opened the car door and was about to step in when she heard a boy's voice call her.

"Xiaonuan!"

Su Xiaonuan's body stiffened for a moment, then she slowly turned around.

A boy in a white tracksuit ran over, fairly handsome but with a slightly arrogant look, holding a breakfast bag in his hand.

The boy reached Su Xiaonuan and handed her the breakfast bag.

"Xiaonuan, here's the breakfast I brought you—your favorite meat bun and soy milk."

But his gaze quickly fell on Jiang Feng's car, then back at Jiang Feng, and his eyes instantly became wary.

"Xiaonuan, who is he? Why is he taking you to school?"

The boy's name is Dong Feng; he's Su Xiaonuan's classmate and also her suitor.

He usually sticks right behind Su Xiaonuan, and gets upset when other boys talk to her.

Su Xiaonuan quickly explained.

"He's my sister's friend, Brother Jiang Feng. My sister has something to attend to today, so Brother Jiang Feng is taking me to school."

Dong Feng, however, didn't believe it, walked to the side of the car and knocked on the window.

"Hey, who are you? What's your relationship with Xiaonuan? Don't think that taking her to school lets you get close to her; Xiaonuan is the one I like!"

Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow, stayed in the car, and only lowered the window.

"I'm her sister's friend; dropping her at school is just a side thing. You're overthinking it."

"Side thing?"

Dong Feng snorted, his eyes full of contempt.

"I think you're deliberately getting close to Xiaonuan! I warn you, stay away from her, or I won't be polite to you!"

Su Xiaonuan quickly tugged Dong Feng's arm.

"Dong Feng, stop talking nonsense! Brother Jiang Feng is just being kind, don't misunderstand!"

Dong Feng, however, shook off her hand and kept staring intently at Jiang Feng.

"Xiaonuan, you're just too naive! Older men are the best at deceiving. Don't be fooled by him!"

Jiang Feng, too lazy to deal with the guy, simply said to Su Xiaonuan.

"Hurry inside, or you'll really be late."

Su Xiaonuan nodded and then said to Dong Feng.

"Go to class quickly... don't argue with Brother Jiang Feng."

Dong Feng glared at Jiang Feng viciously.

"I don't care who you are; from now on you are not allowed to take Xiaonuan to school! Otherwise I won't spare you!"

Jiang Feng ignored him, raised the window, started the car and drove away.

Watching the car's direction as it left, Dong Feng gritted his teeth, took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, help me look up a person named Jiang Feng, who is connected to Su Xiaonuan's sister Xue Yan... Yes, I need all his information!"
