Chapter 204: A Kiss as a Gift

Chapter 204: Chapter 204: A Kiss as a Gift"No, Yang Corporation is a major enterprise in Tianhai City with great influence, and Ishii Group is even the number one conglomerate in Japan, with enormous power. Investigating them without any evidence will cause significant trouble."

"At that point, it might even have a detrimental effect on the relations between the two nations. We can’t shoulder that responsibility. Leave this matter to those at the top; now, you can go."

Dai Li said with a determined expression.

Upon hearing Dai Li’s words, Xiao Ruolin felt unwilling to let the matter rest, but she had no other choice and could only leave the office.

"No, I can’t let those bastards just take away the treasure."

As she walked out of the office, Xiao Ruolin was deep in thought. A glint of determination flashed in her eyes, and she quickly left the police station.

"What, you want me to go up against those Japanese and take back the treasure?"

In a police car, Xiao Yifeng looked at Xiao Ruolin with a speechless expression.

"Shouldn’t the police and the nation be handling this kind of thing? Why do you need me? I certainly don’t have that kind of free time," Xiao Yifeng bluntly refused.

"This time, due to the relationship between Yang Corporation and Ishii Group, I’m worried that those at the top won’t believe us. And if something goes wrong like last time..."

"Then these national treasures of immeasurable value could truly end up in the hands of the Japanese, which would be a massive loss for China. So, I absolutely can’t let this happen."

"This cargo ship will leave the dock tonight, and once they’ve left, it will be too late. As a Chinese person, don’t you think you should take on some responsibility for your country?"

Xiao Ruolin looked at Xiao Yifeng with a serious face.

"I mean, if the treasures are really on this cargo ship, do you think the two of us can handle so many Japanese? They even defeated the Dragon Soul members. Wouldn’t we just be walking into a death trap?" Xiao Yifeng sneered.

"We’re not going to confront them head-on. We just need to confirm whether the treasures are there or not. Once confirmed, I’ll contact the police station, and they will send people over. Besides, I know you’re strong. You won’t die that easily."

Xiao Yifeng’s eyes shifted, and he said, "I’m not opposed to going, but the risk is too great. If there’s no benefit for me, I won’t do it."

"What benefit do you want?"

Xiao Ruolin stared at Xiao Yifeng, who had a sly smile on his face as he checked out Xiao Ruolin, especially pausing for a few seconds on her prominent features.

Feeling Xiao Yifeng’s gaze, Xiao Ruolin’s face turned red, and she quickly covered her chest, shouting angrily, "You bastard, you’d better stop those dirty and shameful thoughts. I won’t agree to it."

"What I want is simple. Call me ’husband’ again, and if it pleases me enough, I’ll agree to accompany you," Xiao Yifeng said wickedly.

"You... you shameless, despicable person!"

Xiao Ruolin’s pretty face flushed with anger as she glared fiercely at Xiao Yifeng.

"After all, it’s not like you haven’t called me that before. What’s there to be afraid of?"

Xiao Yifeng said.

"Forget it!" Xiao Ruolin flatly rejected.

"Then forget about it. You go by yourself. If you get caught, don’t come to me for help," Xiao Yifeng said as he was about to get out of the car and leave.

"Wait a moment!"

Xiao Ruolin hastily spoke, her eyes flickering with hesitation and conflict.

"How is it going to be? Make up your mind quickly. Stop wasting time; my time is very precious," Xiao Yifeng said with an amused smile.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Ruolin finally opened her mouth hesitantly, "Hus... band..."

"Not charming enough, put some emotion into it, just like last time!"

Xiao Yifeng quickly corrected her, infuriating Xiao Ruolin so much that she almost bit the jerk to death.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Ruolin mustered all her courage and, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice, called out, "Husband!!"

"Mm, that sounded good."

Xiao Yifeng nodded, the call giving him a feeling of floating on cloud nine, especially hearing such a term of endearment from a female overlord like her was incredibly thrilling.

"Can we stop now?"

Xiao Ruolin looked at Xiao Yifeng with an expression of shy discomfort, only to see him suddenly plant a kiss on her rosy cherry lips.

"Wife, this is my gift to you, no need to thank me!"

After his sudden attack, Xiao Yifeng ran off the car and vanished without a trace.

"Bastard! My first kiss!!!"

A roar came from inside the police car, Xiao Ruolin’s face burning with rage, her fingers covering her lips, seething with anger to the point of grinding her teeth in hatred for Xiao Yifeng’s shamelessness, despicableness, and lecherous behavior.

The jerk had just stolen her first kiss and even made her call him husband, utterly despicable.

Meanwhile, in a large hospital ward in Suhang, the Sect Leader of Feidao Sect, Duan Canghai, appeared with a dark expression on his face and barely concealed anger in his brows.

Lying on the hospital bed, pale as a ghost and covered in thick casts on all limbs, was the War General of Feidao Sect, Baozi.

"Sect Leader, I am sorry, Baozi has failed and brought shame upon Feidao Sect."

Baozi said weakly, his eyes reflecting a hint of dimness and desolation; his limbs rendered useless, he was now a cripple.

"Baozi, don’t worry, you’re my man. Now that you’ve ended up like this, I will avenge you for sure. I’ll make that guy pay a far more painful price. Just rest well for now and don’t think about anything else."

After saying that, Duan Canghai’s eyes flashed with a sharp murderous intent, and he left the ward.

Stepping out of the ward, Duan Canghai lit a cigarette and took a drag, exhaling clouds of smoke, his face cold as stone, eyes filled with lethal intent; he was clearly enraged, his entire being emitting a dreadful, oppressive aura.

At that moment, a man dressed in a gray fur coat, his expression somber and his hands clad in black gloves, walked over quickly.

"Sect Leader, how is Baozi doing?" the man asked.

Taking a drag, Duan Canghai said, "His limbs have been completely crippled."

"Such ruthless action!" The man’s expression tightened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Moreover, according to the reports of the others, the opponent crippled Baozi with just one move," Duan Canghai added.

"One move!" The shock was evident on the face of the man in the gray fur coat, his eyes revealing an astonished expression.

"One move to cripple Baozi... this person’s strength must be at least at the peak of the Transformative Energy Stage, or even at the Great Perfection of Transformative Energy. How can this be possible? Wasn’t it said that our adversary was only in his twenties? How can he possess such formidable strength... Could he be from the Martial Arts World?"

The man’s eyes kept flickering, his expression growing solemn as he spoke.

"We can’t be certain of that yet, but what’s sure is that our opponent is no ordinary person; his real background must be complicated,"

Duan Canghai said heavily as he smoked.
