Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

Wang Feng stood against the left wall of the Nancheng Public Security Bureau, using his spiritual sense to probe inside. Soon, he found Lou Bancheng in one of the interrogation rooms.

Exploring deeper with his spiritual sense, Wang Feng found Tan Yali in another detention cell.

Judging from their appearance, they have not been subjected to torture or physical harm.

Tan Yali has not been interrogated yet, while Lou Bancheng is currently being interrogated in the interrogation room.

Sitting in the interrogation room, Lou Bancheng looked dejected. He was filled with regret, wishing he hadn't helped Wang Feng contact those old objects.

Now things are really messed up. Not only did he get into trouble, but he also dragged Tan Yali into it. Fortunately, Gouzi has never lived at the Lou family's house, and the police can't find Gouzi now, otherwise Gouzi might have been implicated as well.

He never expected this. He and Chairman Chen had been friends for over ten years. He was betrayed so easily. The key point is that doing this would not benefit him at all. He didn't seem to have offended Chairman Chen.

Seeing that Lou Bancheng and Tan Yali were alright, Wang Feng felt relieved and rode his bicycle towards Nanluoguxiang.

His space could indeed transmit objects remotely, so passing a note to them wouldn't be difficult. The key issue was that such a thing was too bizarre. Since Lou Bancheng and Tan Yali were not in any danger or being subjected to torture, he didn't want to risk exposing his biggest secret.

As Wang Feng rode his bicycle, he considered the details of rescuing Lou Bancheng and Lou San. His goal was to avoid revealing his secret as much as possible while successfully getting the two to Hong Kong Island. Ideally, he should also send Lou Yi, Lou Er, and Lou San to Hong Kong Island so that they would have helpers there.

With a sigh, Wang Feng hadn't expected this to happen. Lou Bancheng had already prepared to go to Hong Kong Island after dealing with these old items, but he never expected that Lou Bancheng would be taken down by a traitor.

Wang Feng returned to No. 28 Nanluoguxiang and checked the time; it was already 7:40 PM.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a knock on the door, and after a short while, Qin Jingru opened it.

"Brother Wang Feng, have you found out anything? How are Goose's parents doing now?" Qin Jingru asked anxiously.

Wang Feng closed the door and said, "Let's talk about it when we get back."

"Um."

The two returned to the house, and Lou Xiao'e immediately stood up, looked at Wang Feng, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Feng, how is it? Any news? How are my parents now?"

Wang Feng pulled Lou Xiao'e down to sit and comforted her, "Don't worry, my dear. I just confirmed through special channels that Mom and Dad are fine and haven't been tortured. In fact, they seem to be in good spirits."

"That's good."

Hearing Wang Feng's affirmative answer, Lou Xiao'e finally felt relieved.

She was worried that those people would torture her parents and force them to confess everything. This would not only make their crimes more serious, but might also implicate Wang Feng, since it was her father who helped Wang Feng make contact for these old items.

"Jingru, Goose, have you eaten?" Wang Feng asked.

Qin Jingru rolled her eyes at Wang Feng: "With such a big incident, and you not even home, how can we possibly eat? I've kept the food warm in the steamer, I'll take it out now."

"Okay, go ahead."

Qin Jingru brought out the food. That evening, she only made stir-fried green peppers with pork. Lou Xiao'e's parents had been arrested, so she wasn't in the mood to cook and kept comforting Lou Xiao'e.

Qin Jingru served Wang Feng a bowl of rice and Lou Xiao'e a bowl of rice, and then urged, "Son, eat quickly. Now that you know your uncle and aunt are alright, don't worry too much. I believe in Brother Wang Feng; he will definitely be able to rescue your uncle and aunt."

Lou Xiao'e forced a smile: "Yes, thank you, Sister Jingru."

Wang Feng took a bite of food and said seriously, "Son, don't worry. As I said, I'm 100% confident I can rescue Mom and Dad. It's just that they'll have to suffer a bit during this time, but with Uncle Lou taking care of things, I believe they won't suffer too much inside."

"Yes, I believe in Brother Wang Feng. If he says he can save them, he definitely can."

Qin Jingru nodded firmly; she had absolute trust in Wang Feng.

After the two men comforted her, Lou Xiao'e felt much better and started eating.

While eating, Lou Xiao'e asked with some concern, "Brother Feng, that bastard Chairman Chen, he also traded with you last time when you made a large transaction of jadeite rough. They haven't seen your true face, have they?"

Wang Feng smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I wore a hood when I went there to make the transaction last time. I've hidden our things very well. Even if the police find me, I'm not afraid, because they can't find anything in our house."

Lou Xiao'e sighed, "It's all my dad's fault. Why didn't he move such a large sum of gold sooner? If he had moved it to a safe place earlier, none of this would have happened."

At this point, Lou Xiao'e said bitterly, "The most despicable one is that bastard Chairman Chen. He's been friends with my father for over ten years, yet he betrayed him. And he didn't report the last jade transaction, so why did he choose to report it this time?"

Wang Feng sighed and said, "Son, don't blame your dad. He was probably too busy and didn't have time to transfer the money. As for that Chairman Chen, I'll investigate him thoroughly during this period. Since Chairman Chen chose to be a traitor, we absolutely cannot let him get away with it."

"Brother Wang Feng? What's a traitor?" Qin Jingru asked curiously.

"Hehe, it means traitor or spy," Wang Feng explained with a smile.

"Brother Feng, what are you planning to do about that traitor, Chairman Chen? You absolutely mustn't do anything risky," Lou Xiao'e said worriedly.

Wang Feng nodded and smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, I'm just having someone investigate whether this Chairman Chen has committed any illegal or criminal acts. If so, we'll also send someone to report him and let him experience what it's like to be reported."

"Okay, that's settled then."

In fact, Wang Feng had no such intention at all. He only said that to avoid making the two women worry.

Since this Mr. Chen has offended him and gotten him into trouble, he'll just kill his whole family. That's how he deals with problems now—simple and brutal.
