Chapter 261 Arrested

Chen Feng's sneer silenced Li's father. Before he could say anything more, Chen Feng said, "That's the question I should be asking you."

"I have no grudge against you or your daughter. You tried to seduce me but failed, so you want to destroy the Crescent Moon Pavilion?"

Mr. Li's expression changed. "I don't know what you're talking about."

How could Chen Feng know that he was the one who did it? How did those two manage to take the money and still let Chen Feng find out?

It's fine if Chen Feng finds out, because even if he does, there's nothing they can do to him. But it's different for Xu Xuan. Li's father doesn't know that the two people have been captured, so he's looking around, trying to find them.

"The person you're looking for has already been arrested by the authorities," Murong Chen kindly reminded him.

"What did you say?!" Mr. Li's expression was complicated: "Impossible."

He then realized the flaw in his words: "I don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean by being arrested by the government? You're framing me."

“They told us everything before they were arrested by the authorities, otherwise how do you think we knew?” Xu Xuanjianfeng said.

Li's father looked grim, but he was extremely panicked. He thought that even if they were discovered, the Crescent Moon Pavilion would at most beat them up and throw them out. But now, not only had they been arrested by the government, but Chen Feng and Xu Xuan had also come to him.

Li Jiaojiao was also scared. "Father, what should we do now?"

Li Jiaojiao harbored resentment towards Chen Feng. They had almost tarnished the reputation of Xinyuelou, but it was only a near miss. She hadn't even mentioned that Chen Feng had rejected her yet, so why was he being so aggressive?

"If I remember correctly, after the government officials came, the Li family's shops and property should have been confiscated. So where did you get the money to hire them?"

Now, Li's father also showed panic on his face. He had been running the shop for so long, and naturally he had saved some money. He had risked his life to keep the government officials from finding out.

"Hey, Mr. Chen, Young Master Xu, and Young Master Murong, please slow down."

Just then, another voice came from behind. The head constable had finally caught up with Chen Feng and his two companions, panting heavily and sweating profusely.

He sighed inwardly, thinking how fast these three people could run. He was a constable, always on the go, but he couldn't even catch up with these three. Chen Feng and Xu Xuan were one thing, but Murong Chen, who was thin and weak, was so much faster than him.

Upon seeing the constable's uniform on the head constable, Li's father and Li Jiaojiao recoiled in fright: "What do you want to do?!"

Why did they bring the constables along as well?

"I'm not doing anything," Chen Feng said. "I just want to take you to the yamen."

After the head constable recovered, he took out a rope and said to Li's father, "Li Sheng, Li Jiaojiao, you two need to come with me to the yamen for a visit."

“In broad daylight, do you believe I’ll call for help?” Li Sheng’s teeth chattered.

The head constable rolled his eyes. He wanted to see who they could call "people." "You should have been punished for doing wrong. You should have known what would happen to you the moment you had the thought of doing something bad."

The head constable didn't want to waste any more words with Li Sheng and Li Jiaojiao, so he tied them up with rope, said goodbye to Chen Feng and the others, and headed to the yamen.

This matter is finally over. Xu Xuan stretched and waved his fan, saying, "Today's events have exhausted me."

God knows how fast he ran to get to the government office as quickly as possible.

After returning to Crescent Moon Tower, Xu Xuan said, "I'm starving, let's eat quickly."

"Wait a minute," Chen Feng said, looking at Xu Xuan. "There's one more thing."

"Is there anything else?" Xu Xuan scratched his head, puzzled. "Weren't Li Sheng and Li Jiaojiao already handed over to the authorities?"

"I'm talking about your business."

"Ok?"

"If I remember correctly, you should have been practicing your martial arts at the manor today. Why are you at the Crescent Moon Pavilion? Xiao Chen came because of Manager Murong, but you..."

"This..." Xu Xuan's face showed a hint of guilt. The reason he appeared at the New Moon Tower today was very simple. He was originally practicing his skills honestly, but later he found that Chen Feng had left. Just then, Murong Chen was coming to the New Moon Tower to find Murong Yunhai, so Xu Xuan secretly ran away with Murong Chen.

Xu Xuan chuckled and said, "Well... I'll talk about it later, I have something to do."

After speaking, he ran away.

Chen Feng shook his head and decided to let Xu Xuan rest for a day, considering how long he had run around today.

……

That day, Master Xu leisurely fished in the artificial fish pond in his mansion. He would catch fish and then release them back into the pond, then fish again, release them again, fish again, release them again... over and over again, enjoying himself immensely.

Meanwhile, she was also chatting with the housekeeper: "I wonder how Xuan'er is doing now. I haven't seen Xuan'er for a long time, and I miss him terribly."

Looking at the relaxed look on Master Xu's face, the butler remained silent. He couldn't tell that... Master Xu was missing the young master.

"If the young master knew how much the master missed him, he would definitely be very moved."

"I sent him to Boss Chen for his own good, sigh."

Butler: If you could tone down that smile, sir, your words would be more believable.

However, the butler only dared to think this to himself. "Since you miss the young master so much, why don't you go and visit him at Boss Chen's place?"

"Although Xiao Wu comes to report on the young master's condition to you every now and then, it's different from seeing it for yourself."

Mr. Xu immediately decided: "I will go and visit that brat tomorrow."

The old butler's face beamed with joy as he said, "If the young master knew that the master was going to visit you, he would be overjoyed."

Master Xu thought of his spoiled son and gave the steward a strange look: "If that brat is as happy as you say, I'll take his surname."

How could he not know his son's personality? He probably wishes he could ignore him and be happy to see him.

Butler: Don't the master and young master of this family have the same surname? So the master having the same surname as the young master is the same as not having sworn an oath.

"That's hard to say. You haven't seen the young master for so long, and it's the first time he's been away from you for so long. He must miss you." The butler said with a smile, "Master, why don't I go to Boss Chen now and tell the young master that you're going to visit him tomorrow?"

"No." Master Xu waved his hand to stop the butler and said, "We can't let him find out. We have to go secretly." He was also very curious about what kind of expression that little brat would have if he suddenly saw him.

The butler agreed verbally. Although Master Xu didn't say it, the butler had served Master Xu for decades and knew that Master Xu probably missed Xu Xuan a little.
