My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 376 - 373: Provoked

Gao Fei had thought that after seeing Miao Kuangfeng fly into a tremendous rage and publicly berate Cao Buwei, there would be severe punishment in store. If Cao Buwei wasn't killed, at the very least he should be stripped of his military rank. But who would have thought… Miao Kuangfeng was all bark and no bite.

After giving Cao Buwei a sound scolding, nothing else happened… This greatly disappointed Gao Fei.

Extremely disappointed.

Gao Fei's mood started to sour.

…

"Be gone," Miao Kuangfeng said impatiently, waving his hand, "Go back and reflect on your actions."

"Yes." Cao Buwei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and then walked outside. As he passed by Gao Fei, Cao Buwei glared, "What are you staring at? Hurry up and follow me."

"Gao Fei fought bravely. I admire him and plan to keep him by my side. You don't have any objections, do you?" Miao Kuangfeng said indifferently.

"Ah?" Cao Buwei was stunned, then hurriedly shook his head, "No objections. No objections at all! It's Gao Fei's good fortune from his previous life to be appreciated by you, my lord… Gao Fei, you must work hard and not let down the expectations the lord has placed on you." The last sentence was addressed to Gao Fei.

After coming out of the tent, Cao Buwei's face became gloomy. Damn it, that kid Gao Fei is just too lucky! To think he could survive being chased by tens of thousands of bandits, and now he's even caught Wan Fuchang's eye. What kind of luck is this!

"My lord," Ding Dalang hurriedly stepped forward, "Did you meet with Wan Fuchang? What did he say to you?"

"Not only did I meet Wan Fuchang, but I also saw Gao Fei," Cao Buwei grunted.

"Who? You saw who?" Ding Dalang's eyes widened.

"Gao Fei!"

"How is that possible? Isn't Gao Fei already dead?"

"He's not dead! He's alive and well!"

"Impossible! Even if Gao Fei has miraculous abilities, he can't be the opponent of tens of thousands of bandits, can he?"

"Wan Fuchang saved him."

"…Damn it! That brat Gao Fei is just too lucky!"

"Yes, too lucky," Cao Buwei nodded, "This time Gao Fei really turned misfortune into a blessing. Not only did he save his life, but he also gained Wan Fuchang's appreciation. Just now, Wan Fuchang personally asked me for him, wanting Gao Fei to stay by his side."

"You agreed?"

"Do I dare not to agree?"

"This is so unfair!" Ding Dalang, infuriated, howled furiously, stamping his feet on the ground, his face turned an ashen blue with anger: "Too unfair! How could that guy Gao Fei gain Wan Fuchang's favor?!"

"Truly unfair," Cao Buwei was also very resentful, "You didn't see how smug that little villain Gao Fei was, acting as if he was going to ascend to the heavens." Saying this, Cao Buwei snorted coldly, "Now that Gao Fei has the backing of Wan Fuchang, he doesn't regard me at all, the bastard! Sooner or later, I'll kill him!"

Ding Dalang muttered to himself in his heart: Even without the backing of Wan Fuchang, you're nothing in Gao Fei's eyes! He only muttered this in his heart, he wouldn't dare say it out loud.

"Now we're in trouble," Cao Buwei sighed heavily, "Gao Fei harbors resentment against me and is now staying close to Wan Fuchang. He will definitely speak ill of me at every opportunity, trying to sow discord between Wan Fuchang and me..."

"This is indeed a problem," Ding Dalang nodded.

"Just now, Wan Fuchang gave me a severe reprimand."

"A reprimand? Why?"

"All because I fled the battle! When faced with bandits, I ran away with the soldiers. Wan Fuchang was very angry and rebuked me heavily in front of everyone. If it weren't for other officers pleading on my behalf, I might have lost my head."

"How did Wan Fuchang find out about this? Oh, it must have been Gao Fei who told him! That bastard, he's up to no good."

"Damn it, if I'd known Gao Fei was so treacherous, I should have killed him with a slap at the start. Now things are great, Gao Fei has become the favorite in front of Commander Wan, and it's going to be difficult to deal with him now."

"Gao Fei must be eliminated!" Ding Dalang said resolutely, "As long as Gao Fei is alive, he is a threat to the lord."

"It's easy to say but hard to do," Cao Buwei frowned deeply.

"There's always a way," Ding Dalang said, "If all else fails… we can find someone to assassinate him."

"Assassination?" Cao Buwei was shocked, "Is that wise? Commander Wan already knows I'm at odds with Gao Fei. If Gao Fei were to be assassinated, Commander Wan would definitely suspect me."

"I have an idea..." Ding Dalang looked around, then whispered into Cao Buwei's ear, "We can contact the bandits, have them kill Gao Fei."

"What?" Cao Buwei's eyes bulged, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could bandits possibly listen to me!"

Ding Dalang bared his teeth and said in a low voice, "Offer them enough benefits, and the bandits will surely be tempted."

"No," Cao Buwei shook his head vigorously, "Absolutely not! If Commander Wan finds out I've had dealings with bandits, he will surely kill me."

"As long as the lord does it covertly, Commander Wan will definitely not find out."

"It's too risky."

"Only if Gao Fei dies at the hands of bandits can the lord clear himself of suspicion."

"This… let me think about it."

"Time is of the essence, the lord needs to make a decision quickly."

"I know," Cao Buwei waved his hand in irritation, then left with heavy steps.

Ding Dalang's hatred for Gao Fei was no less than that of Cao Buwei. He dreamt of slaughtering Gao Fei. When he learned that Gao Fei had become the favorite of Commander Wan, Ding Dalang was instantly anxious as if his heart was on fire. What to do was a serious dilemma; if Gao Fei sought revenge on Ding Dalang, then Ding Dalang would have no peace.

"Yo, isn't that Ding Dalang?" a strange, mocking voice came from behind.

Ding Dalang shuddered, recognizing the voice immediately—it was Gao Fei.

"What are you doing here?" Gao Fei strolled leisurely to Ding Dalang's side, hands behind his back, "Waiting for me?"

"No," Ding Dalang shook his head, "I was waiting for Lord Cao."

"Cao Buwei? He left a while ago, didn't you see him?"

"Uh… saw him… Well, I have other things to do, I must be going…"

"Wait, I have something to say."

"What do you want to say?"

"Ding Dalang, I don't know why, but whenever I see you, my palms itch. I really want to slap your face."

"You… don't mess around, okay…" Ding Dalang jumped back in fright, putting some distance between them, then looked at Gao Fei with a panic-stricken face, "If you dare hit me, I will scream for help, and then we'll see how you get out of this one."

"Look how scared you are, I was just joking with you, and you took it seriously," Gao Fei chuckled, "Ding Dalang, you really are too cowardly."

"You…"

"By the way, I have some news for you. Well, it's good news for me but probably bad news for you… Starting today, I'm no longer under Cao Buwei's command. Commander Wan has asked me to stay by his side and work for him… How does that make you feel? Are you upset? Furious? Do you feel like screaming three times to vent the dissatisfaction in your heart?"
