My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 278 - 277 Suspected

Council Hall.

With tears streaking her face, Lin Meixiu cried out, "Sect Leader, you must save my son, his situation is too tragic, too pitiful... Sect Leader, I beg you, save my son, I'm kowtowing to you!" As she spoke, Lin Meixiu knelt to the ground, her forehead striking the floor with a muffled "thump thump thump..."

"What are you doing? Get up quickly!" Song Qingfeng waved his sleeve, a gentle breeze materializing from nowhere, lifted Lin Meixiu back to her feet: "Speak if you have something to say, no need for tears or kowtowing!"

"Sect Leader, I wouldn't bother you if there were any other way," Lin Meixiu sobbed uncontrollably, "I really have no other option!"

"I have some pain relief medicine here, take it and treat Dalong's injuries," Song Qingfeng said as he took out two porcelain bottles from his sleeve: "These are elixirs I refined myself, they're very effective for healing injuries."

"Can they... cure my son's injuries?" Lin Meixiu asked, full of hope.

"Cure?" Song Qingfeng shook his head slightly: "Dalong's injuries are too severe, my elixirs can only alleviate his pain."

"Sect Leader, please think of something. Dalong is so young, he hasn't even married yet, if he truly becomes disabled... his life would be ruined." The tears Lin Meixiu had just stopped started to flow again, crying more desperately.

Song Qingfeng sighed: "I feel Dalong's pain too, and I really want to heal his injuries, but... I really am powerless."

"Sect Leader, you have divine skills, there must be a way, I beg you, think of something," Lin Meixiu pleaded through her tears.

"How about this, I will contact some friends and see if they have any solutions," Song Qingfeng suggested. Having cultivated a wide circle of acquaintances and knowing several medical masters, he had cured many difficult diseases over the years and intended to ask for their advice.

"Thank you, Sect Leader! Thank you!" With hope restored, Lin Meixiu's mood slightly stabilized.

"It's getting late, go back and rest," Song Qingfeng said gently: "Worrying won't help now that things have happened, take good care of Dalong, I'll inform you immediately once I get any news."

"There's one more thing, about finding the vicious attacker who targeted Dalong!" Lin Meixiu spoke through clenched teeth: "We must find him! Tear him to pieces, to avenge my son!"

Song Qingfeng nodded: "I'll send people to investigate."

"I'm thankful, Sect Leader. With Dalong's father gone and my limited abilities as a woman, I need to rely on you for help with many things..."

"Don't worry, I will avenge Dalong!"

"Then I will go."

Lin Meixiu wiped away the tears on her face and turned to leave the Council Hall.

"Sigh..." Song Qingfeng exhaled deeply: "I'm fated to worry! Worrying about this and that! It's never-ending!" To be honest, Song Qingfeng had no affection for Jin Dalong; in his eyes, Jin Dalong was a worm, a waste of food, and had it not been for Great Elder Jin Chaoyang's sake, Song Qingfeng would have expelled him from Tianyang Sect long ago.

One rotten apple spoils the whole barrel!

Jin Dalong was that rotten apple!

...

The elixirs given by Song Qingfeng were very effective, and after Jin Dalong took them, his pain was significantly relieved, and his complexion improved somewhat.

"Dalong, who do you think is the most suspicious?" Lin Meixiu asked.

"I don't know..." Jin Dalong shook his head: "My mind is in chaos... I can't think of anyone at the moment..."

"It's okay, take your time," Lin Meixiu comforted: "It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out! I will find the assailant through other means!"

"Madam, Pavilion Master Jia Yunfeng from the Artifact Refining Pavilion has arrived," a disciple entered and reported: "He's here to visit the young master, and has brought gifts."

Lin Meixiu glanced at Jin Dalong, then nodded: "Let him in."

"Yes." The disciple turned and left.

Moments later, Jia Yunfeng entered, carrying gifts: "My dear nephew, how are you! I heard you were injured and rushed over immediately!"

"Pavilion Master Jia is very kind," Lin Meixiu said coolly.

"Uncle Jia, please have a seat!" Jin Dalong was very enthusiastic.

Jia Yunfeng placed the gift on the table before quickly walking to the bedside, grasping Jin Dalong's hand, and said sorrowfully, "How could something like this happen! It pains my heart too much! Have the culprits been found yet?"

Jin Dalong shook his head: "No... The attacker struck from behind, I didn't see his face clearly..."

"I actually suspect someone," Jia Yunfeng suddenly said.

"Who?" Jin Dalong asked, puzzled.

Lin Meixiu also widened her eyes, looking at Jia Yunfeng.

"Gao Fei," Jia Yunfeng spat out through clenched teeth: "I believe he is the most suspicious!"

"Gao Fei?" Jin Dalong was stunned: "Uncle Jia, why do you suspect him?"

"You might laugh when I tell you," Jia Yunfeng sighed: "That fellow Gao Fei has been pestering Jia Xue, and yesterday he even went to the Artifact Refining Pavilion to seduce her... In a fit of anger, I went to report it to the Sect Leader, and the Sect Leader ordered straightaway for Gao Fei to face the wall at Repentance Cliff for reflection..."

"If Gao Fei went to Repentance Cliff, how could he sneak attack me?" Jin Dalong said.

"Repentance Cliff isn't guarded, no one would know if Gao Fei sneaked down," Jia Yunfeng explained.

"Now that you mention it... Gao Fei does seem suspicious... He harbors intentions towards Jia Xue, and upon hearing I was to marry Jia Xue, he became jealous and envious, then he assaulted me with his poisonous hands..."

Jin Dalong's expression slowly turned grim.

"I'll go catch Gao Fei right now and interrogate him! If it's really him, I definitely won't spare him!" Lin Meixiu said, getting up to leave.

"Wait," Jia Yunfeng hurriedly called out: "Gao Fei isn't an ordinary disciple, the Sect Leader holds him in high regard, catching Gao Fei rashly will definitely displease the Sect Leader."

"Then what should we do?" Lin Meixiu asked.

"Go to the Sect Leader and let him make the decision!" Jia Yunfeng suggested.

"Alright, I'll go now!" Lin Meixiu nodded.

"I'll come with you!" Jia Yunfeng said: "To be a witness for you."

"Let's go together!"

...

And so, the two went together to the Council Hall.

Upon entering, Lin Meixiu burst into tears, "Sect Leader! You must take up my cause!"

Song Qingfeng was taken aback: "What's the matter now?"

"I have found the culprit who hurt Dalong!"

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Gao Fei!"

"Who did you say?" Song Qingfeng's eyes widened: "Say that again? Who?"

"Gao Fei! The Elite Disciple, Gao Fei!" Lin Meixiu repeated.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Song Qingfeng's face darkened: "Gao Fei is reflecting at Repentance Cliff, it's impossible for him to have attacked Jin Dalong! You must be mistaken!"

At this point, Jia Yunfeng spoke up: "Repentance Cliff is unguarded, no one would know if Gao Fei secretly descended the mountain..."

"Do you have evidence? Without evidence, don't make reckless accusations!" Song Qingfeng snorted: "Since the founding of Tianyang Sect, more than five thousand disciples have been sent to Repentance Cliff for reflection, not one has ever left the mountain without permission..."

"Others might not, but Gao Fei is another story," Jia Yunfeng said: "That fellow Gao Fei is sly, cunning, and shameless, he definitely wouldn't be content to stay on Repentance Cliff..."

"Shut your mouth!" Song Qingfeng scolded: "Even if you have grievances against Gao Fei, you can't slander him at will! I'll say it again, don't talk nonsense without evidence!"
