"Phoenix?" A surprised voice came through the phone.
"It’s me," Tang Fei said in a deep voice.
"Are you okay? Is Sister Xin Huai okay? Where are you right now?" Phoenix asked several questions in a row, clearly showing her agitated state.
"I’m fine, she’s fine too..." Tang Fei spoke up, "We are currently in a junkyard, it’s shaped like a huge crab... I’ve shared the location with you, have someone come pick us up."
"Okay, okay, send me the address right away, I’ll be there immediately."
"Don’t come," Tang Fei voiced his refusal, stating, "It’s too dangerous outside, I don’t know if there will be further incidents..."
Even though he had killed Mo Fan and severely wounded Xie Pianxian.
However, after such a major incident, there must be turmoil outside.
Who knew if there would be other forces at play?
Some people wanted him dead, others wanted the people who wanted him dead to die...
People’s intentions are inscrutable; you can hardly know who the real murderer is until the very end.
"No way, I must go, send me the address now."
Phoenix didn’t want to wait.
She couldn’t wait another moment.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Fei shared the location with Phoenix and once again dived into the gaping maw of the Octopus Car.
Sheng Xinhua was still slumped over the steering wheel, sound asleep, completely unaware of any incidents that had occurred outside.
Even upon waking up, it would merely seem like a nightmare.
Tang Fei envied this a bit, not having to face these wicked and complicated events was a kind of happiness, he supposed.
Worried about revealing a flaw, the sports car’s engine hadn’t been turned off and was still running at high speed.
The car body kept lunging forward, yet it was pulled back again and again by the two huge suckers.
Sheng Xinhua’s body swayed with it, heaving up and down...
Her ample bosom swayed as well, creating surging waves.
Tang Fei didn’t look down deliberately; his main goal was to find the button to turn off the car engine.
He pressed the electronic button, and the car immediately entered a state of rest.
Sheng Xinhua’s body also stopped moving, no longer rocked by the frequency of the car.
Being in a sealed space inside the octopus mouth, and since Sheng Xinhua’s body had been in motion,
a layer of sweat appeared on her body, turning her skin rosy.
She didn’t look poisoned at all.
"Mr. Sheng..." Tang Fei called out.
There was no response.
Sheng Xinhua remained unconscious.
Tang Fei recalled Mo Fan and Xie Pianxian’s conversation that this poison was called "Thousand Mechanism Powder" and in such a large dose, it could cause unconsciousness for at least a week.
Thus, he gave up on trying to wake Mr. Sheng and instead carried her out of the octopus mouth.
With one hand around her neck and the other slipped under to hook her legs.
Hmm, because of the skirt’s shortness, her legs felt smooth and tender.
Moreover, she was a full-figured person, thus her thighs felt even more plump and succulent.
The sensation was very pleasing.
He placed Sheng Xinhua’s body in the passenger seat of the Octopus Car and discarded the upper half of Mo Fan’s body from the driver’s seat.
Because of the amount of blood lost, the interior of the car was permeated with a strong stench.
Tang Fei searched around but couldn’t find any perfume to clear the smell, so he had to open all the doors and windows, letting the wilderness night breeze flow through.
Worried that Sheng Xinhua might get cold in just a short, red silk dress, he took off his own coat and draped it over her body.
Once he had finished all this, only then did the sound of aircraft engines appear in the sky.
Phoenix and Chen Fenglei rushed over leading their team. Upon seeing Tang Fei, Phoenix hurried over and asked with concern, "Tang Fei, are you alright?"
Had it not been for the presence of a large number of Imperial Guard members, she would have thrown herself into Tang Fei’s arms right then.
Heaven knows how worried she had been upon hearing that Tang Fei and Sheng Xinhua had been kidnapped; she had dressed and run to the Taiji Palace, where her father resided.
"I’m fine." Tang Fei looked into Phoenix’s worried eyes, understanding the affection the Little Princess was trying to express.
He desperately wanted to hold her soft body in his arms and kiss her fiercely...
But there was a crowd of spotlight holders nearby.
These were members of the Imperial Guard, the most trusted of Zhong Daolong’s confidants.
If he were to make such a move, even if Zhong Daolong still wanted to use him...
He would probably be subjected to a few lashes to vent his anger first.
It was one thing to conduct affairs in secret; he could pretend not to know.
But if Tang Fei were to act openly, he’d be publicly stripping away the veil, leaving Zhong Daolong without an excuse to deceive himself.
"Where is Miss Sheng?" Chen Fenglei looked around with concern, asking, "Where is Miss Sheng?"
The King and the Finance Minister were still waiting for news in the Phoenix Palace; he had to ensure Sheng Xinhua’s safety.
Otherwise, if that old man got angry, not even the King would be able to bear it.
The King wasn’t feeling well, and Feng Lei certainly didn’t want to be the one to suffer.
He knew that this time the King was truly furious with him.
He had dispatched so many people, yet they had failed to locate the whereabouts of Tang Fei and Sheng Xinhua in a timely manner.
It was only after Phoenix received Tang Fei’s call that they confirmed their current address.
This already demonstrated their dereliction of duty...
Phoenix City should have been under his tight control, so why were there such oversights?
