Chapter 407

~8 min read 1,512 words

The sky was slightly bright, and a row of cars drove into the South City District.

On the snowy morning, the early light shone on the snow, reflecting a faint golden light.

Breathing the cold air into his lungs, Su Yang felt a sting and couldn't help but cough twice.

Not closing his eyes for a full thirty-six hours, he couldn't quite take it with his current physical condition.

"Su Yang, you go back and sleep first, leave the warehouse matter to me, you can rest assured." Lin Yang suggested, looking at his pale face.

Su Yang didn't force it; he knew his body, and if he continued to stay up and the old injury recurred, it would affect the overall situation.

"Don't rush to sell the goods when they arrive at the warehouse, wait until I wake up."

"Alright!"

The driver sent Su Yang back to the manor first; as soon as he arrived, Feng Yan ran out in a hurry, her eyes moist, and tear stains still hanging on her face.

Seeing this, Su Yang said: "Jiang Hen Zhi has already been arrested, it's fine, don't be afraid."

"I'm not worried about that bad guy, where did you go yesterday, I waited for you all night." Feng Yan hurriedly helped him into the courtyard.

Hearing these words, Su Yang felt slightly surprised.

He thought she was crying because she was frightened.

Unexpectedly, she was worried about his safety.

"I agreed to be your female companion, but you left me alone, I almost, almost..." Feng Yan's eyes were covered with a layer of water mist as soon as she thought of that scene.

Looking at her pear-blossom-in-the-rain, pitiful appearance, Su Yang sighed lightly and said: "Sorry, I was too impulsive yesterday, but I got angry when I saw his lecherous appearance."

"He dares to reach out to my people? If this happened in the South City District, I would chop off his hands and feed them to the dogs!"

"Even if the matter happened a second time yesterday, I would still do the same."

Feng Yan was originally extremely aggrieved, wondering all night why she encountered such a thing.

The beautiful fantasies before going were all shattered like bubbles.

The wine party was not at all like what she saw in books, where everyone was a business elite, well-spoken, and polite.

On the contrary, it was filled with flattery, hypocrisy, and greed.

Simply put, they were a group of wolves in sheep's clothing.

Now hearing Su Yang's words, Feng Yan felt both moved and self-blaming, "It's all my fault, if I had known earlier that you were injured, I wouldn't have let you travel so far to such a distant place."

"That's true, the injured also need to breathe fresh air, not to mention the beauty accompanying and walking hand in hand, with such beautiful scenery, even the heaviest injury should be healed." Su Yang said with a smile.

Feng Yan chuckled and said with a blushing face: "Bad guy, you just like to say what I like to hear."

After laughing, she reached out and touched his heart with a worried look, "Does it still hurt?"

"A little bit, but..." Su Yang tilted his head and said with a smile: "Maybe it would be better if you kissed me."

"Ah!" Feng Yan was like a frightened little rabbit, subconsciously letting go, and ran away as if escaping.

He saw her hiding behind a pillar, her face red, like a ripe peach, making people want to take a bite.

Then she shyly revealed half of her head and whispered: "I... I'll go boil water for you."

After saying this, she hopped away.

Looking at her youthful and energetic aura, Su Yang pursed his lips and smiled, shaking his head secretly.

Having met so many people and seen all kinds of conspiracies.

In the end, the little girl is the easiest to fool.

And at the same time in the kitchen, Feng Yan's heart was pounding, as if a little rabbit was bumping around inside.

"Stop jumping!" Feng Yan patted her chest, looking fierce.

Seemingly fierce, but actually like a little cat showing its teeth.

She watched the water in the boiler gradually boil, and Su Yang's angular handsome face couldn't help but appear in her mind, her face slightly red.

"Hateful, why are you still pestering people when you are sick..."

Thinking of the 'mistake' she once made, Feng Yan felt even more guilty in her heart.

She made up her mind that she must perform her duties faithfully in the future and resolutely not make the same mistake again.

After all, Su Yang did that much for her; if she didn't listen again, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself.

After the water boiled, she scooped several ladles of hot water into the bucket, mixed in some cold water to lower the temperature, and then carried it to the bathroom on the third floor.

"Dong dong!"

Feng Yan pushed open the door carefully and said softly: "Gang Leader, the water is ready."

Yet there was no echo from the room.

She walked into the room on tiptoe, looking at the face that was already fast asleep on the bed, standing quietly in place.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and couldn't help but reach out and touch his high nose bridge.

Su Yang in his sleep frowned, turned to one side, and continued to make a slight snoring sound.

And Feng Yan was like a little cat stealing food the whole time, so scared that she didn't dare to move.

"Hee~"

Feng Yan helped him cover the quilt lightly and slowly closed the door.

After the bedroom returned to silence, Su Yang slowly opened his eyes, feeling the lingering warmth and touch on the tip of his nose, and shook his head secretly.

"Really disobedient..."

This sleep lasted directly from six in the morning to eleven at night.

More than ten hours of sleep made Su Yang incomparably refreshed, feeling as if the whole person had been reborn.

Sleep helps the injury heal; he stretched as soon as he woke up.

The imagined severe pain didn't appear, only occasionally emitting a slight sting.

"Almost there..."

Su Yang stood in front of the full-length mirror, took off his pajamas, and revealed his fair and strong body.

He saw a shallow irregular scar on his left chest, which was the bullet mark left that night.

At this moment, the door pushed open, and Feng Yan walked in holding Su Yang's dried clothes.

"Gang Leader—ah..."

As soon as she entered, she saw his naked upper body, so scared that she hurriedly threw the clothes on the bed and covered her eyes with both hands.

Su Yang put on his clothes unhurriedly, looked at the bright eyes between her fingers, and said: "It's not the first time you've seen it, what are you making a fuss about?"

Feng Yan's little action was discovered, and her pretty face turned red, "I... I'll go out first."

After saying this, she ran away, leaving behind a wisp of fragrant wind.

After Su Yang was dressed, he asked the brothers of the Weiwu Hall to send him to the warehouse where the treasures were stored.

Arriving at the destination, he saw many hall members clearing the snow in front of the door with shovels.

Seeing Su Yang arrive, they saluted in unison, "Gang Leader!"

Su Yang nodded slightly, looked up at the appearance and specifications of the warehouse, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Where is Lin Yang?"

"Brother Yang is inside counting the goods."

Su Yang was guided by an underling to the inside of the warehouse and found Lin Yang biting his pen, looking troubled.

"Why doesn't it match..."

"What doesn't match?"

Lin Yang turned his head to look and found Su Yang appearing here suddenly like a ghost, scaring him.

"Please, can you make some noise when walking in the middle of the night."

Su Yang looked at the notebook in his hand and asked: "How doesn't it match?"

"I clearly recorded eight hundred and seventy-two items, but there are only eight hundred and sixty-nine items in the warehouse, three items missing." Lin Yang scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Seeing this, Su Yang pointed to the items without checkmarks, "Did you forget? The brothers who moved the most goods can choose three items to take away."

"Hmm?" Lin Yang suddenly realized and slapped his forehead, "My brain, how did I forget this."

"That guy too, he didn't tell me when he took the things, is he afraid I wouldn't give it to him?"

Su Yang smiled: "I wasn't there, of course he was afraid you would go back on your word, so he just took it and left; he should report to you tomorrow."

"Am I that stingy? Just three treasures." Lin Yang frowned.

Su Yang looked at the dazzling array of treasures displayed in front of him and curled his lips, "Let's go, take a few pieces to test the water."

"Where to?"

"Black market!"
