Chapter 599 Let's Make Friends
"You big devil, capitalist, old man, all you do is use my grandfather to oppress me, making me embroider, weave, and even plow the fields, exploiting my labor every day!"
"You came to me because your Shadow Clan has no women, so you made me serve you. I can't stand being by your side for even a day longer. I want my freedom!"
After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.
Seeing Qin Feng's face darken to the point of being almost black, Kong Wange tugged at Zhou Qiao's arm and frowned, saying, "Qiao Qiao, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhou Qiao wiped away the tears that had just fallen uncontrollably, and said aggrievedly, "I didn't lie. Every word I said came from the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of my heart!"
Qin Feng looked at her and said, word by word, "You didn't like the things I gave you, so why didn't you say so?"
"Does it matter if I say it?" Zhou Qiao glared at him angrily. "I told you I didn't want to stay in Shadow Gate, but you still forced me to stay. What difference does it make whether I say it or not?!"
Qin Feng looked at her and fell completely silent.
Just as the atmosphere became tense, Wen Luoyun, who was standing next to her, spoke up with a gentle smile: "This must be Master Qin. Please don't blame Qiaoqiao. She was just robbed and must be frightened. That's why she's so emotional. Let's talk things out after she calms down."
Upon hearing the word "robbery," Qin Feng paused, then immediately turned to Zhou Qiao and asked with concern, "What happened?"
Zhou Qiao wiped away her tears and said defiantly, "It's none of your business, it has nothing to do with you."
Seeing Qin Feng's expression grow even more grim, Kong Wange's brows furrowed even deeper. She grabbed Zhou Qiao's arm and said, "Qiaoqiao, this is not the time for you to be angry. How did you end up being robbed?! How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"
When facing Kong Wange, Zhou Qiao softened her attitude, sniffed, and after a while said in a low voice, "I'm fine, don't worry about Sister Kong. It was Sister Xu who saved me. She knocked the robber unconscious with a stick, and I wasn't hurt."
"Sister Xu?"
Everyone then focused their attention on Wen Luoyun, scrutinizing her closely.
Wen Luoyun remained calm and smiled as she said, "It's like this. With the New Year approaching, I thought I'd come to the lantern fair to browse around and buy some trinkets to take home. But I ended up going the wrong way and, by some strange twist of fate, I saw Zhou Qiao being pinned against the wall and choked by a burly man in a dark alley."
"The situation was critical at the time, and I didn't think too much. I just knocked the person unconscious and escaped with Miss Zhou Qiao. I didn't expect that she would be a friend of Miss Kong and Master Qin."
"Oh, by the way, you may not know me, but I've heard our family head mention you quite a few times. Today is a good opportunity for us to get to know each other. I am Xu Ruoyun, the family doctor of Tang Zhi, the head of the Tang family. Nice to meet you all."
As she spoke, she reached out her hand and smiled at Kong Wange.
Kong Wange and An Jing exchanged a glance. An Jing whispered in her ear, "Tang Zhi does have a family doctor, but he doesn't show his face often. I've only heard his name a few times in gossip news."
Kong Wange nodded, then smiled and shook hands with her: "Dr. Xu, thank you so much for today. Zhou Qiao is like a sister to me. Saving her is like helping me. Just name your reward."
A cold smile crept into Wen Luoyun's heart. The reward she wanted was her life!
She maintained her smile: "Miss Kong, you're being too polite. Anyone passing by today would have done the same. As for compensation..."
Wen Luoyun glanced at Murong Ting beside her, then looked away and said with a smile, "If I could make friends with you, Young Master Ting, Master Qin, and President An, that would be my greatest gain."
Anjing glanced at Wen Luoyun, hissed, and tugged at Kong Wange's sleeve.
"What's wrong?" Kong Wange asked softly.
"Don't you think Xu Ruoyun's way of speaking is a bit too slick and sarcastic? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before," An Jing whispered.
Kong Wange glanced at Wen Luoyun, who was smiling across from her: "No, right? She acted quite cool and collected. Are you overthinking it?"
"Tch, I just feel uncomfortable whenever I see her. I always feel that even though she smiles, the way she looks at us is weird. Besides, think about it, she came to see the lanterns, how could she just happen to walk into the alley? That alley is so dark. We didn't even think of going that way when we were looking for Qiaoqiao."
"Besides, how could a woman knock out a kidnapper? I have a bad feeling about this."
Anjing glanced at Murong Ting not far away and said, "Let me tell you, besides all that, I also saw her glancing at your Mumu just now. I think she's probably interested in your husband and is trying to come here and befriend us to carry out a roundabout strategy."
Kong Wange clicked her tongue: "You're overthinking it."
Quietly patted her on the shoulder: "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet. She'll definitely be pestering us to come and watch the lights with us in a bit!"
Kong Wange gave her a skeptical look.
The two whispered to each other for a while, but Wen Luoyun was not affected. She smiled and said a few more words to Zhou Qiao, then looked at Kong Wange and the others: "Are you going to continue watching the lanterns?"
An Jing looked at Kong Wange with a smug expression that seemed to say, "See? I told you so, didn't I?"
Kong Wange hissed, wondering if An Jing had really been right.
The next moment, Wen Luoyun continued, "Then you all continue your shopping. I have some things to do later, so I won't bother you any longer. Have fun!"
Quiet:"?"
Kong Wange turned to look at the surprised An Jing, smiled, and then said to Wen Luoyun, "Alright, Miss Xu, please go ahead and take care of your business. I want to thank you again for today's matter. Now that we've met, feel free to let us know if you need anything in the future, and we'll do our best to help."
"Miss Kong's words are enough." Wen Luoyun said with a smile, greeted the others, and turned to leave.
But just as he took a step, Qin Feng called out to him, "Wait."
Wen Luoyun paused, straightened her chest, and turned around: "Does Master Qin have any further instructions?"
"Which alleyway did you encounter the robber you just mentioned?" Qin Feng asked in a deep voice.
Wen Luoyun tightened her grip on her phone, took a deep breath, and pointed to the alleyway they had just passed: "It's over there."
Qin Feng nodded: "Did you hit me too hard?"
“I… I can’t say for sure,” Wen Luoyun chuckled awkwardly. “I was scared too, and I don’t remember how much force I used, but that person must have passed out.”
Qin Feng grunted in agreement and headed toward the alley.
Zhou Qiao grabbed him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Qin Feng glanced at her, said nothing, and strode away.
Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Zhou Qiao simply gave up, stomped her foot in a huff, and shouted at his retreating figure, "You're crazy!"
